Those who wanted to buy a quilt now were probably like Zhao Yun 'er. Their families were in a hurry to use it.
Also, on normal days, when the family held a wedding, the slightly wealthier families would buy a few new quilts for their daughter's dowry.
Apart from winter, this was how the business of the quilt shop came about.
After Zhao Yun 'er entered the house, an old lady in her fifties or sixties came over. She went up to Zhao Yun' er with a smile and asked if she wanted to buy a quilt.
"Granny, what's the price of your quilt?" Zhao Yun 'er asked.
The old lady chuckled and said, "Little girl, there are a total of three quilt shops in Yang City. Don't worry, my shop is the cheapest. If you don't believe me, you can go to the other two shops and ask for the price."
As the old lady spoke, she brought Zhao Yun 'er to look at her quilt. She pointed at the quilt and said to Zhao Yun' er, "This quilt is new. It's made from the cotton that was just harvested this year. It's warm. It's twenty-two copper coins per catty. This one is made from last year's cotton. It's twenty copper coins per catty. Miss, take a look. Do you want to buy this year's new quilt or last year's? "
Zhao Yun 'er stared at the quilt for a while. The quilt was made at a different time, but they were all new.
The white quilt was obviously very warm.
When Zhao Yun 'er heard the old lady's words, she felt that she was doing business with integrity. After all, if she didn't say it out loud, who knew if it was made this year or last year?
A catty of quilt cost so much. There were both thick and thin quilts here. There were five catties, seven catties, and ten catties.
Zhao Yun 'er planned to buy three quilts to bring back. One for the bottom, one for the top, and one for the top. Then, she would buy a thin one. When the weather became warmer, she could change out the thick quilt and cover the thin one.
Seven catties of quilts would be enough. One for the thick and one for the thin ones, which added up to a total of twenty-two catties.
"Granny, get me this year's new quilt. I want this, this, and this." Zhao Yun 'er pointed at the quilt.
The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll get it for you."
The old lady folded the three quilts neatly and tied them together with a thick rope.
"Miss, this is good. Can you carry it?"
The old lady looked at Zhao Yun'er's thin and small body. She didn't look like someone who could carry things, so she asked with some concern.
Zhao Yun'er lifted it a little. Twenty two kilograms was not too heavy for her. She could carry it with one hand.
"I can carry it. Grandma, you don't have to worry about me."
The old lady nodded. "That's good. Then, young lady, please settle the bill. This new quilt costs 22 copper coins per catty. That's a total of 22 catties, so it's 484 copper coins. Young lady, since you've bought three beds at once, I'll charge you 460 copper coins."
It was a discount of 24 copper coins. This could be considered a great discount.
Just as Zhao Yun'er was about to say thank you, a woman rushed out from the inner room and scolded the old lady. "You damned old lady. I just went to the courtyard to take a dump. I let you take a look. Is this how you do business? All of a sudden, we're short of 24 copper coins. How can we continue to run this shop? Do you really think that money comes from nowhere … "
The woman scolded a bunch of unpleasant words. The old lady stood in the corner and didn't dare to speak. She was trembling with fear.
