Chapter 36 - 36 35 Making Money
?Chapter 36: Chapter 35 Making Money Chapter 36: Chapter 35 Making Money The needle and thread baskets quickly attracted customers. When asked about the price, Chen Afu quoted a hundred and fifty cents and refused to lower it. It wasn’t that she was trying to jack up the price, but she was worried that if the baskets sold out too quickly, they wouldn’t have time to wait for the person they were waiting for.
Despite the hefty price, a young lady, accompanied by several maids, bought two, and a housewife bought one.
The needle and thread packages were not put out for sale yet because the people who showed up earlier didn’t seem to be potential customers who could afford to pay ten taels of silver for them.
Half an hour later, the woman, who had bought one of the needle and thread baskets, returned. She angrily asked Chen Afu why her prices were higher than what’s offered at the entrance of Lingyin Temple.
Chen Afu smiled and explained, “Look, madam, the baskets I sell are woven from fine willow twigs, and the inside lining is made of silk, not cotton. The higher cost of materials naturally leads to a higher price. If you think it’s expensive, you can return it. You can go downhill and buy from another shop; that’s our shop too.”
After hearing this, the woman decided it wasn’t cost-effective to buy the basket and returned it, saying she would go down the hill to buy a cheaper one.
Chen Dabao was anxious to see his mother not selling the needle and thread packages. If she can’t even sell one, where would they get the money to eat wonton soup near Lingyin Temple?
Chen Afu whispered into his ear, “Don’t be impatient, Dabao. We don’t set a trap without seeing the rabbit. When a big deal comes, I definitely won’t miss it.”
