Chapter 51: Gonna Make a Fortune (2)
“Town?” The shop assistant couldn’t hold it in anymore. It wasn’t that he was looking down on people, but did these two country bumpkins ask about the market rate of the Rainbow Clouds Pavilion? Was it strange that they couldn’t sell it in town? Any material here couldn’t be found in other shops.
“You want to sell fabric? I’ll show you the way.” The shop assistant pulled Yu Feng to the door and pointed to the east. “Do you see that alley? Go through it. The entire street is selling fabric. Go there and try your luck.”
It was a street for buying inferior goods. Of course, it was much better than the materials in the countryside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a woman exclaimed from behind, “Aiya, am I seeing things? I actually saw the Birch Fragrance Cloud Silk!”
The Birch Fragrance Cloud Silk was a type of silk cloud gauze. It was jade-green in color and was warm in winter and cool in summer. Its production was very rare and could only be seen in the palace.!!
The shop assistant thought to himself, Which ignorant woman can even mistake the Birch Fragrance Cloud Silk? Where did they get such a rare item?
Before he could finish cursing, another surprised voice sounded. “Water Sky Cloud Brocade?”
“Ice Silk!”
“Yuzhou brocade!”
“…” Wait, what nonsense are these people spouting!
The shop assistant turned around strangely and was shocked by the scene in front of him!
Yu Wan couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with the shop assistant, so she simply opened the box. The people in the Rainbow Clouds Pavilion were all distinguished guests. Even if they had never eaten pork before, they had seen pigs walk. Immediately, a third-grade official’s wife recognized the Birch Fragrance Cloud Silk in the box.
Her cry attracted the other ladies.
Hence, the Water Cloud Brocade, Ice Silk, Yuzhou Rainbow Brocade, and other precious fabrics that could only be seen on the Empress in the palace were recognized by a few knowledgeable madams.
The shop assistant could no longer remain calm. Was this the material that she said could not be sold in town? Of course, there was no way to sell it in town. Even the Rainbow Cloud Pavilion did not have it!
“Mi… Miss! Let’s talk in private!”
Yu Wan followed the shop assistant, and Yu Feng stayed behind to guard the cloth.
Fifteen minutes later, Yu Wan came out.
Yu Feng was relieved. If his sister hadn’t come, he would have been eaten alive by those madams.
“How is it?” Yu Feng asked.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “Let’s go out for a walk. We’ll come back later.”
“Huh?” Yu Feng looked at her in confusion.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “These materials are very expensive. The shopkeeper has gone out, and the assistant can’t make the decision. He asked us to wait for the shopkeeper to come back. He’ll only be back in the afternoon. It’s not noon yet so let’s go eat something first.”
“Let’s just-just wait here.” Yu Feng cleared his throat. “I brought food.”
In order to save money for a meal, Yu Feng worked hard.
Yu Wan was amused by her brother’s stinginess. “It’s not easy for us to come to the Capital. We can choose not to eat, but we have to go to the pharmacy. Just now, I asked the shop assistant. There are a few good pharmacies nearby. The doctors inside are all very skilled. Let’s ask if they can treat Uncle’s leg injury.”
Yu Feng coughed in shame. “Then, then let’s go. What about these things?”
“Leave it here for the time being. He has already paid my deposit in advance,” Yu Wan said as she took out a banknote worth fifty taels.
Yu Feng’s heart skipped a beat! If the deposit is so much, then once they sold everything, wouldn’t it be—
Yu Wan smiled.
They were going to make a fortune.
