Chapter 1648: Chapter 1647: Settling Down
The news of wool sweaters about to be sold caused an uproar among those who could afford them.
Especially among so won—could they finally wear beautiful wool sweaters to showcase their curves?
Buy, buy, buy!
By noon the next day, long lines had ford outside the two shadow puppet theaters. Most of those waiting were won, who didn’t let maids or servants reserve spots for them; they ca in person.
When it cos to clothes, it’s always better to buy them yourself and feel the design and texture firsthand.
This ti, Yang Wenxiao focused on won’s styles, each embroidered with unique patterns without any repetition.
Wearing identical outfits is disliked, even in ancient tis—unless you’re best friends, no one wants to wear the sa clothes as soone else.
Yang Wenxiao thoughtfully addressed this. Every wool sweater was embroidered with distinct patterns, including sun, moon, stars, flowers, insects, fish—whatever could be imagined—all to ensure each piece was unique and special.
Of course, with so much effort put into uniqueness, the price wasn’t going to be low: three hundred taels per sweater.
Three hundred taels—a figure that could be astronomical for an average household—but for families rich enough to afford wool sweaters, it was nothing. It was equivalent to splurging on a al at a shadow puppet theater—a casual swipe, and it’s done.
Who knows what kind of spell Yang Wenxiao and Qiao Xiaomai were under this year? The things they sold were ridiculously cheap. Previously, when Qiao Xiaomai priced things, people thought his brain was kicked by a donkey. Now it appeared Yang Wenxiao’s brain wasn’t spared either. Once upon a ti, a tricycle or mahjong set would be priced at several thousand taels of silver, but now a lightweight, warm wool sweater was just three hundred taels!
It seed the donkeys at Field Manor were extraordinary—not only could Qiao Xiaomai not resist them, but even Yang Wenxiao had fallen victim.
But those donkey kicks were perfect—praise-worthy, even spectacular! More kicks, please! Such cheap goods aren’t easy to co by.
Under the enthusiastic shopping spree of beauty-loving won, Yang Wenxiao sold out his half-year stock of wool sweaters in a single day. Though priced at only three hundred taels each, the silver earned still allowed carts loaded with silver notes and taels to be sent to the Imperial Palace in batches.
Sitting at Field Manor, Yang Wenxiao received the news and couldn’t help but sigh again—making money off won was just too easy!
This year’s wool sweater sales were rely a test run, but seeing the strong positive feedback, wool-based clothing really seed feasible. With that being the case, a long-term trade relationship with the grasslands could now be solidified.
He sent soone to summon Jina, hoping she could return to the grasslands to have her father co and sign a contract. Last sumr, they’d only signed a one-year agreent.
When Jina heard Yang Wenxiao’s words, she imdiately replied, “Your Majesty, my father is already on his way to the Capital City. I sent him so spicy strips, and he said they were delicious. He wants to co and buy more.”
“It snowed recently, so the roads are difficult to travel. Otherwise, he’d already be at the Capital City by now.”
Having spent a year in the Capital City, Jina’s knowledge of Daqi’s language had beco quite fluent.
Moreover, this ti her father was coming purely as a private citizen to shop, so he hadn’t specifically notified Yang Wenxiao.
Yang Wenxiao: “…”
“Your father is already on his way?”
“He is.” Jina nodded.
Yang Wenxiao fell silent. “Alright, then we’ll wait for him to arrive and sign the contract. I’ll draft it first in the anti.”
Jina responded repeatedly with agreent.
Establishing a long-term and stable relationship between the grasslands and Daqi would also benefit her.
When she first arrived in the Capital City, she was looked down upon by many people. But now, because of her connection with Qiao Xiaomai, she had beco soone sought after by everyone.
Life was quite comfortable—she didn’t want it to change.
