Chapter 542： Making a swollen face and pretending to be fat (additional monthly ticket adds 30)

Chapter 542: Making a fool of yourself (monthly ticket plus 30 updates)

“Although the patterns and colors of woven floral satin and floral soft satin are not as fashionable as those in the capital, they were only made two years ago, but they have just become fashionable in the capital, and the quality of the materials is the same as those in the capital.”

"That's right." Su Mulan nodded slightly and reached out to touch the materials. "The texture is so eye-catching. How many colors are there in these three materials?"

"Su Juan and woven damask each have eight colors, and floral satin has ten colors." The waiter replied.

"Then..." Su Mulan thought for a while and said, "Just, get one of each."

"One piece of each kind?" The waiter in the shop was startled, calmed down a little, and said, "Sir, these woven satin and floral soft satin are not cheap. One piece costs about six taels of silver. If each item is If you get one, wouldn’t it cost more than a hundred taels?”

At present, a pound of rice costs only one penny per pound. An ordinary farmer's family of five can only eat, drink and chew for four or five taels of silver for a year. A piece of cloth that can only be used for two sets of clothes costs six taels. Silver can be said to be expensive.

These twenty-six pieces of cloth are more than 150 taels of silver, which can buy a two-entry house with a large area and excellent location in the county town.

It was a huge undertaking to require so much fabric at once.

The waiter obviously didn't believe it, so he only confirmed again, "Sir, do you really want one of each kind?"

“Yes.” Su Mulan nodded firmly.

"Sister-in-law Su." Lu Wenqing tugged her arm, "There is really no need to be angry with her..."

He thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law Su, let me pay for it."

 Qilixiang pays dividends to Su Mulan every month, plus Wu Ji and the craftsmanship of the workshop, Lu Wenqing guessed that Su Mulan's monthly net income is quite a lot.

But Su Mulan has four children to raise, and there will be a lot of expenses in the future. In business, what you earn today may not be available tomorrow, so you always have to prepare for a rainy day.

Although Su Mulan's husband Bai Shitang has returned, he has never heard of any good livelihood. It seems that he just opened a small shop in the county town to make ends meet.

This one hundred and fifty taels of silver may not seem like much, but buying these fabrics is still a bit overwhelming.

Lu Wenyuan originally came to cause trouble for her, but Lu Wenqing didn't want to involve Su Mulan because of herself and let her go to the ring with Lu Wenyuan.

Lu Wenyuan has been standing by the side, folding her arms and looking at Su Mulan with hostility.

When he saw a village woman like Su Mulan, whose entire body of clothes cost no more than three taels of silver in total, picking out fabrics worth six taels of silver a piece, she couldn't help but sneer.

Especially when she saw Lu Wenqing secretly dragging Su Mulan and suggesting that she pay for it, she even laughed out loud, "This village woman just kept saying that I couldn't afford the fabric she bought. It turns out that it wasn't because of herself." Is it because my eldest cousin is rich? "

“Tsk tsk, this kind of bluffing and pretending to be fat is really embarrassing.”

“You…” Lu Wenqing gritted her teeth.

Su Mulan stopped her and signaled her not to take action. She just smiled at Lu Wenyuan and said, "Miss Lu, my cloth has been selected, what about yours? Could it be that the cloth Miss Lu chose is not as expensive as mine?"

“Hmph, how is that possible!” Lu Wenyuan snorted coldly.

“Since Miss Lu thinks it’s impossible, it’s best. Miss Lu must remember not to pay less than one hundred and twenty taels, otherwise, she won’t be able to afford the fabric that a village girl like me can buy.”
