Chapter 412 Fox Fur Business
"It's okay if you don't understand. This is our new fur shop. We specialize in fox pelts. A single fox pelt can fetch several taels of silver. A good-quality fur, like a silver fox, can fetch up to ten taels of silver."
Ten taels of silver?
At this moment, the woodcutter's eyes were shining, and he held the flyer in both hands, and the ten taels of silver that Bai Lu mentioned kept echoing in his mind.
Even if he chopped firewood for a year, he couldn't earn that much money.
Xiluo has everything, but there are a lot of foxes, which steal their crops and make people hate them.
Now someone comes to collect fox furs, no matter what country he is from, we can eliminate foxes and make money at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
"Is it true that one piece can be sold for ten taels?"
Bai Lu nodded seriously: "Good fur colors are fine, we have samples outside the store, different fur colors correspond to different prices.
For example, pure white, regular plush, and good thickness can be priced at this price. There are also patterns, and each one has a different price.
Uncle, you can go and take a look outside our shop. Our shop is not far from the city gate and is called Fur.
You can find the fox you want at the right price. What you see is what you get. Our shop is honest and fair in its prices.
The woodcutter was half-believing and half-doubting. He ran towards the city gate with a hatchet on his waist and the flyer given by Bai Lu in his hand. He wanted to confirm whether this good news was true.
As a person with great skills, Ling Feng also imitated Bai Lu and distributed flyers everywhere and gave explanations to people.
He was embarrassed at first, but after talking for a while, he just let go.
The entrance of the fur shop was crowded with people, all attracted by the news of buying fox furs at high prices. Everyone was rushing to see the samples at the door.
There were ten fox furs of different grades on it. The one with the worst fur color was worth eighty wen, and the ones behind it were worth one or two taels of silver...
The highest one is worth ten taels of silver, and the highest fur color is also the best. It is difficult to have such exquisite fur color.
Foxes have a bad smell, and people find it difficult to accept using their fur to make clothes, so there is an infestation of foxes in Xiluo.
"Make way, make way..."
Outside the fur shop, a man dressed as a farmer shouted, carrying a skinned fox skin in his hand.
"Shopkeeper, how much is the fox fur you are looking at worth? The one I have is completely brown and has a very good appearance."
This is the first person to come and sell fox furs. Those who are still waiting at the door, all come in and take a closer look to see if fox furs can really be sold for silver?
Aunt Jing took a look at the fox fur brought by the visitor. This was Lin Ting's, and even the fox fur in his hand was caught by Ling Feng.
"According to the sample comparison, this fox fur of yours is worth eight taels of silver. Will you sell it?"
The man had great acting skills, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was smiling, and he nodded rapidly.
"Sell!"
In full view of everyone, Aunt Jing accepted the fox fur that the man brought and paid him eight taels of silver.
Seeing this, the door exploded instantly: "Really accept it, see, really give silver."
There were also some who were unwilling to give up and followed the man selling fox fur out. They were afraid that this man was putting on a show, so they followed him to see what was going on.
But they were disappointed. The man selling fox fur got the silver and went to buy food and medicine at the pharmacy.
What he got was real money, and he actually spent it, which means that all of this is true, which is a good thing.
Lin Ting watched in the shop. In just one day, many people caught fox furs and came to sell them in the evening. Regardless of the quality, Lin Ting bought them all according to the standard.
This news caused a sensation in Yangcheng. Those who originally did not believe it became jealous after seeing everyone around them making money.
Some people even go out fox hunting in the middle of the night.
Lin Ting soaked fox fur with herbs to remove the odor, and repeated the process many times to achieve the desired effect.
In addition, there is water in the border town and the sun shines every day, so Lin Ting can take advantage of the weather here to process fox fur.
After the fox fur is made, she will transport it to the capital, where Lin Lin will make it into clothes, shoes, shawls, and various other things that can be made.
For half a month, everyone knew about Lin Ting's collection of fox furs. This move also directly improved the lives of people in Yangcheng and surrounding towns.
Mrs. Lin Ting Weirui's fame also spread in Yangcheng. Whenever Mrs. Weirui was mentioned, she would become the cash cow of the people of Yangcheng.
Those who took action in advance have already earned fifty or sixty taels of silver, which is really enviable.
Some of the smarter ones came directly to Lin Ting to discuss the matter.
In the Weirui Pavilion in the border town, Bai Lu brought in four or five Xiluo merchants.
"Madam, these friendly merchants were introduced by Aunt Jing."
Lin Ting stood up and asked several people dressed in Xiro to sit down.
"Bai Lu, serve tea to the guests."
Bai Lu: “Yes!”
"Madam Weirui, how are you? We are from Xiluowang City. My name is Yifu, and these are my brothers. We all run small businesses."
Aunt Jing had heard from Lin that these people wanted to join her in the fox fur business, otherwise Aunt Jing would not have introduced them to meet Lin Ting.
"I heard that several of you want to cooperate with me?"
Yi Fu is the oldest, and it was he who took the lead in looking for Lin Ting this time. He was very optimistic about the fox fur business, which would allow them to accumulate wealth in a short period of time.
Yi Fu nodded towards Lin Ting, put her right hand on her left shoulder, and greeted Lin Ting with the etiquette of Xiluo.
"Yes, Madam Weirui, we heard that you need to collect a large amount of fox fur. Do you need fox fur to make clothes? A lot?"
Lin Ting smiled and nodded: "Well, I have many clothing workshops in Dongxia. The northwest area of Dongxia is extremely cold in winter.
Fox fur can provide excellent warmth retention, and it is also beautiful. I also have a deodorizing recipe. Before long, fox fur clothing will become the main fashionable dress in Dongxia Kingdom.
I also want to design fox fur into ornamental items, shoes, shawls, etc.”
The more Lin Ting spoke, the more intense the looks in Yi Fu and the other four people's eyes became. It seemed that this lady really wanted to collect a large number of fox furs.
"Madam Weirui, do you plan to collect fox furs all year round?"
Yi Fu heard something. Madam Wei Rui said that fox fur could also be used to make ornamental items.
That means that even if you are not making winter clothes, you still need fox fur.
"Yes, in the past few years, I need a lot of fox fur, but foxes are too wild and difficult to feed, so I can only hunt wild ones.
I'm currently collecting fox furs in Yangcheng, and the amount I've received is still far from what I planned to collect."
Bai Lu brought in tea for Yi Fu and others, and finally stood behind Lin Ting and reported to him.
"Madam, the clothing workshop in the capital reported that the fox fur we sent earlier was made into a cloak and bought by the wife of the Minister of Revenue.
The emperor saw it at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet and praised the fox fur coat worn by the Shangshu's wife. He also said that he would make one for each of the nobles in the harem.
Now that the news has spread, the ladies of Dongxia are all rushing to pre-order this dress, causing the order book to overflow, and our fox fur is in short supply."
