Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There were eleven sets of clothes, two for one tael of silver, one for two taels of silver, four for three taels of silver, two for five taels of silver, one for six taels, and one for eight taels.
Just the clothes alone were sold for forty silver taels.
Of course, this included the cost of the clothes and labor. However, after deducting these, they could still make a net profit of thirty taels of silver.
Thirty taels of silver.
Madam Ruan gasped. “I used to think jewelry and jades in the jewelry shop were the most profitable business. This is the first time I know that clothes can be so profitable.”
Shu Yu thought that this was not considered a profit.
Take modern clothes, for example. Even ordinary clothes without brands could cost thousands of yuan in the mall.
Now that they were in Jiangyuan County, Shu Yu set the price according to the purchase price of the cloth and did not dare to raise it too high.
If she had taken out the piece of fabric that Xiang Weinan had given her and made it into a dress, then tattooed it with exquisite patterns, it would not have been a problem to buy a hundred taels.
Moreover, it took Madam Ruan and Daya more than half a month to make these clothes.
The old lady touched the silver and looked at it again and again. After a while,
she said, “what about other Income:’
Other than the clothes that they had sold today, they had also sold eight of the homemade lipsticks that Shu Yu had placed on the counter. There were also a few boxes of rouge and cosmetic powder that had also been taken away.
This portion of income was a total of fifteen taels of silver.
Finally, it was the cost of Shu Yu’s makeup for Miss Zhiyou.
Back then, she had told Ding Yuehua that the starting price for her makeup would be one tael, and it would depend on the situation.
Miss Zhiyou’s makeup was relatively simple today, and it was not a particularly important occasion. In addition, Ding Yuehua i s flyer could give her a discount, so Shu Yu received three taels of silver. Therefore, there were fifty-eight taels of silver on the bed.
The Lu family members smiled.
After rejoicing, the old lady said, “Alright, our shop has been open for four days, and we’ve earned 58 taels. Excluding the cost, we still have more than 40 taels. This is a good start. We will be more popular in the future. You have to work harder in the future.”
The old lady took a piece of silver from it and handed it to Madam Ruan.
The latter’s smiling expression froze, and she looked at the old lady. “Mother?”
“Other than Yu, you’ve contributed the most here. Most of those clothes were made by you. No matter what, you have to pay for your hard work. Take it. It’ll be easier for you to buy something in the future.”
Madam Ruan was stunned. Her eyes were slightly red. “Mother, I, I don’t need to buy anything. I have everything at home.”
“If I give it to you, just take it. Xiang comes to our house to work and gets paid.
Theres no reason for you not to.” The old lady glared at her angrily.
Madam Ruan’s neck shrank from the glare, and she quickly took it.
The old lady was generous and gave her three taels of silver.
Madam Ruan held the slightly hot silver pieces in her hand. Her heart felt warm.
The old lady gave Daya another two taels of silver. The dowry that Da Ya originally brought back had been spent on groceries and things over the past few days. She had also spent a lot of it.
The old lady did not want to let her down, so she stuffed the money into her hands directly.
As for the rest, the old lady took out ten taels of silver and stuffed the money bag into Shu Yu’s arms.
Shu Yu looked at the silver that was forcefully stuffed into his hands.. “Grandma?”
