Chapter 303 Very Hot
Chapter 303 Very Hot
Jiang Yilin from the capital city is causing trouble in the Marquis' Mansion every day.
Qiao Ye's wool also began to be sold to the outside world.
She had previously stockpiled a lot of wool, dyed it and put it in the warehouse.
A group of women and girls were recruited from this village and several nearby villages to knit sweaters and trousers, and crochet woolen shoes, etc.
The shop next to the furniture store in the county town was for sale, so Qiao Ye bought it.
He then led people to make arrangements.
On this day, the woolen shop opened.
Qiao Ye not only bought a lot of firecrackers, but also invited lion dancers to liven up the party.
Therefore, many people came to watch the fun.
After the lion dance ended, people started to come into the store to watch.
It was the first time for everyone to see various wool yarns and wool products, and everyone felt very curious.
But before anyone could ask, someone came to support.
Ji Songbai walked in with a group of rich young men from the county town.
He pointed to a row of clothes hanging on the wall and said, "This is the sweater and trousers I was wearing. If you want to buy them, you can do it today."
As soon as he received the sweater and trousers from Lu Shao, he showed off in the county town.
At that time, many people were staring at it and asking, and they also wanted to buy one.
It’s a pity that they didn’t offer takeout before.
When he heard that Qiao Ye’s yarn shop was opening today, he immediately called everyone to come and show his support.
Upon seeing this, the young masters stepped forward and touched it one by one.
“It’s warm and comfortable indeed.”
"I want one."
"I want two sets, this color and this color."
"I want to buy a few more sets. Give me one set of each color."
The young masters pointed at sweaters and trousers and gave orders to the waiter one by one.
Xiao Er held a notebook in his hand and wrote down everything for them.
If you want to buy sweaters and trousers, they are out of stock and need to be ordered according to size.
Although the young masters were anxious, they had no choice but to wait.
Seeing the young masters in the county town praising sweaters so much, people with more money who came in to watch the fun couldn't help but follow suit and buy some.
Even though each set cost only one or two taels of silver, dozens of sets were sold out quickly.
A young master pulled a woolen blanket and asked, "What are you selling? It's soft and thick, and it feels comfortable to touch."
The waiter at the store smiled and said, "This is a blanket. It's very warm when you cover yourself with it."
“You can also cover yourself with the quilt when you sleep at night.”
"If guests like, they can sit over there and try to put the blanket over their legs or body."
The man touched it again and asked, "How much is this? Is it only sold in your store?"
The waiter replied, "This blanket is the only one we have in Dayin. It costs three hundred coins each."
The blanket is not made of cashmere, but coarse wool with cotton thread added.
In addition, it is easier and more time-saving to knit, so it is much cheaper than sweaters and trousers.
This price is not cheap for many people, but it is nothing to the young man who asked the question.
He nodded, "Okay, I'll try it."
Then I took the patterned blanket I liked and sat down not far away to try it on.
You know what, it’s really warm.
It is very comfortable to put one over my legs when I read or write at home.
You can also buy one to put on the bed cover.
So without hesitation, I paid for several blankets and prepared to give one to each of my elders.
The samples are for trial use and are not available for sale.
The blanket is in stock, and the waiter always gets him a new one.
There are more than a dozen styles and patterns, suitable for all ages.
Seeing this, the other young masters all came over.
Some people tried it, some didn’t even try it, and just ordered this or that.
Some designs were sold out very quickly.
Seeing that the stock of blankets was dwindling, the young masters started to rush to grab them.
Seeing this, the people who came in to join in the fun couldn't help but immediately join the buying craze.
The psychology of people following the crowd is not only applicable in modern times, but also in ancient times.
As a result, the blankets were sold out in less than half a day.
In addition, there are also many people who follow the trend and buy sweaters and trousers.
The sweater and trouser samples are hung out, and anyone who doesn't mind can try them on.
Once you decide to buy, just leave your size and deposit and wait in line.
If you don’t know the size, there are people in the store who can help you measure it.
The yard behind the shop is deliberately separated in the middle.
There are fitting rooms for men and women in the rooms on the left and right sides.
There were two waitresses standing at the door of the women's fitting room.
One provided service to the women, and the other stood at the door to prevent any men from coming and entering.
No woman had the nerve to try it before.
The wife of Magistrate Lu came with a group of ladies and young ladies to show their support after Ji Songbai.
She has a good relationship with Qiao Ye now and wants to continue to be friends with him.
Therefore, seeing that the women's samples had not been tried by anyone else, she took the lead in trying a set.
Seeing this, the ladies and young ladies also followed suit and tried it.
They had seen the county magistrate's wife wearing it before, and had been asking for it, but unfortunately it was not available at that time.
Now that it is on sale and they can try it out, they are all very happy.
If everyone tries it, there won’t be so many concerns or embarrassment.
Moreover, sweaters and trousers are worn outside inner clothes and are not close-fitting clothing, so it is acceptable to try it.
The ladies and young ladies who came to show their support, whether they really liked it or just wanted to give face to the county magistrate's wife and Qiao Ye, all placed an order.
If I really like someone, I might order several or even more than ten sets at a time.
This also boosted the sales of women's sweaters and trousers.
In addition to these, woolen hats, woolen shoes and woolen gloves are also selling well.
There are also some small items made with yarn, such as dolls, flowers, and pendants of various animals.
There are also wool-woven head flowers, wreaths, accessories, etc., which are also bought by many people.
The wool shop is doing a booming business, and so are the wool workshops in the village.
In the most conspicuous place in the store, Qiao Ye also had someone post the precautions written by Lu Shao.
For example, wool products may pill and shrink, so please buy them only if you can accept this.
If anyone encounters pilling or shrinkage and comes to our store to cause trouble, we will ignore them.
The waiters will also take the initiative to remind customers when they are sure they want to buy.
Then show them the samples that have pilled and shrunk in the store, and only buy the ones they can accept.
Most customers were able to accept the samples after seeing them, and only a few gave up.
But this reminder also gives everyone a better impression of the yarn shop.
Woolen knitted products sold very well, but not many people bought the wool because no one knew how to knit.
Qiao Ye mainly wanted to do wool wholesale business, so he hung a sign in front of the store.
Anyone who buys wool in the store can be taught how to knit or crochet for free.
This is also a marketing model used by modern wool shops, where you can learn how to knit after buying wool.
Only in this way can the sales of wool be driven better and better.
Otherwise, even if the workshop recruited more female workers and even if they worked from morning to night, they would not be able to keep up with the speed of selling the goods.
As for being imitated by others in the future, there is nothing that can be done about it.
The Yin Country market is so huge that it is impossible for their workshop to occupy it all.
There’s nothing wrong with eating the meat and letting others drink the soup.
The main thing is that it can't be stopped at all.
After all, in modern times, the ability to copy, imitate and follow trends is extremely strong.
The ability of the ancients in this area should not be underestimated.
