Chapter 181 Lu Shangfu's Skills
Lu Shangfu smiled and asked Liu Saner to take out a roll of thick cotton cloth and put it on the counter.

"My master asked me to bring this here. Boss He, take a look. What's the price of this cotton cloth?"

As soon as He Shouwen used it, he knew it was much better than the cotton cloth on the market!
This cotton cloth is fine, thick, smooth, and its color is stain-resistant. The clothes made from it will definitely be calm and crisp, which is truly unprecedented.

It is not soft enough to be used as inner clothes, but it is perfect for making quilted outer clothes in autumn and winter!
Gentlemen from wealthy families will definitely like this color!

It’s a pity that there is only one roll...Looking at its size, it’s only a few dozen meters long.

Scarcity makes things valuable, so it is foreseeable that this roll of cloth will be snapped up.

He Shouwen's mind raced, and after reluctantly moving his eyes away from the cloth, he looked at Lu Shangfu and spoke sincerely.

"The texture of this cotton cloth is unprecedentedly good, and it is 1.8 meters wide. It is really a rare and good thing."

"I wonder how many of these goods you have left? I want them all!" Even if they can't be sold out this year, there will be no problem with sales until next year.

"Manager Lu, just name the price. As long as I can afford it, I won't say no."

Lu Shangfu was very satisfied with He Shouwen's reaction: the fact that he could frankly admit that the texture of the cotton cloth was unprecedented meant that this person had no intention of deliberately lowering the price.

But Lu Shangfu did not offer any price, he just smiled at He Shouwen.

Whoever bids first will lose out.

He Shouwen was finally defeated. He looked at Lu Shangfu, then at Liu Saner, and took the initiative to speak.

"The cotton silk cloth that Miss Xiao gave me before sold for a higher price than I expected. I was planning to tell Manager Liu about it."

"The purchase price can be raised a bit. Do you think it's feasible to offer the Marshal's Office 220 wen per foot of cloth?"

Seeing Lu Shangfu nod with a smile, He Shouwen breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at the thick cotton cloth again.

"This cotton cloth is of excellent quality, and is thicker than the previous cotton silk cloth. It is suitable for men and also for older ladies of noble families..."

"Six hundred coins a foot, is that okay?"

Lu Shangfu smiled and nodded again, looking at Liu Saner: "Saner, please send the remaining colors to Boss He."

Liu Saner agreed promptly and went to the back of the car to get some cloth.

Because it is autumn and winter, the colors of this batch of fabrics are all warmer, which makes people feel comfortable when looking at them. He Shouwen's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw them.

This color...is so pretty!

Each one is predictably a good seller!
Needless to say, each type costs 600 wen per foot.

Seeing He Shouwen stuttering and pricing at 600 wen per foot, Lu Shangfu smiled and said, "Boss He, you got the upper hand to sell this fabric."

"If you hadn't been so decisive, your cloth shop would have been out of business in half a month."

The smile on He Shouwen's face immediately froze: "Why did Manager Lu say that?"

Lu Shangfu smiled but said nothing, but Liu Saner took the initiative to answer, "Let Boss He know that we at the Marshal's Office are planning to open a Western goods store."

"If Boss He had hesitated that day and we hadn't started the cooperation, when our Manager Lu opened the Western goods store, it would not be Boss He's turn to get these good goods."

He Shouwen understood.

The yarn spun and cloth woven by local looms are not wide enough, and it is inevitable that the yarn thickness is not uniform and the cloth surface is not smooth enough.

However, these Western fabrics are far superior to the local fabrics in terms of texture and pattern...

If such good cloth were sold in the shop of the Marshal's Mansion, who would come to buy it from him?

He Ji Cloth Shop is about to close down.

He Shouwen felt a chill on his back!
At this time, Lu Shangfu spoke slowly: "Boss He, this time my Marshal's Office will wholesale the cloth to Boss He, but later, we may have to change the method of cooperation."

"what way?"

He Shouwen was trembling with fear. Lu Shangfu pointed to He's Cloth Shop and said, "Let's cooperate with Mr. He and expand the business to more cities. We will supply the cloth and fabrics."

"This aspect of the business will be handed over to Boss He, but Boss He's share of the profits needs to be discussed further..."

When He Shouwen heard this, he understood: Manager Lu was impressed by his many years of experience in running a cloth shop and wanted to use him.

"Just follow the orders of General Manager Lu!" He Shouwen clasped his fists and admitted defeat!
Lu Shangfu was very pleased with his tactfulness and comforted him in return.

"Boss He, don't worry. As long as you use your abilities to the fullest, you will earn no less than before!"

"Then I would like to thank Manager Lu for his support..."

After securing the talents in the cloth business, the next step is rouge, powder and pearl jewelry.

Lu Shangfu still remembered the sixteen beauties who once lived in the general's mansion. They were awarded by the emperor himself.

Unfortunately, the little cook Guyu chose to stand on the emperor's side at the critical moment and poisoned Fu Chenan, which made Fu Chenan very disappointed.

Therefore, when he left, he brought the families of the generals from the camp outside the capital, but did not bring the remaining fifteen beauties to Yongzhou and Taizhou.

They were all placed in other places for examination and education on their ideological stances.

Fortunately, after these days of observation and training, it was discovered that they still recognized General Fu in their hearts. After the initial panic, they were all waiting obediently for Fu Chenan's arrangements.

It is said that fifteen beauties will be sent here in the next few days.

In this way, Tao Tao Ji can reopen...

It was still early when Fu Chenan entered the Space-Time Supermarket. He first took off his cloak and then slowly walked to Xiao Yingchun's bedroom on the third floor.

The bedroom door was not locked. He opened it gently and looked at the young lady sleeping soundly. He was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Yingchun was covered tightly with the quilt, revealing only half of her face and her long, messy, ink-black hair. Her little face was rosy and she looked very calm.

Fu Chenan tiptoed to the bed, sat on the edge, and reached out to touch her pink cheek.

Xiao Yingchun woke up in a daze, and when she saw Fu Chenan, she was stunned for a moment before she realized: he confessed to her yesterday, and she did not refuse.

Xiao Yingchun stretched out her hands and said with a nasal tone as if she had just woken up: "Hug me."

Fu Chenan was stunned for a moment, and felt as if his whole heart was soaked in warm water. He hugged the person in his arms along with the quilt.

Xiao Yingchun rubbed her face against Fu Chenan's cheek and nestled in his neck contentedly.

The cool breeze from Daliang Dynasty sobered her up a little: "Why are you here so early?"

Fu Chenan was very honest: "I want to come and see you."

In fact, Fu Chenan didn't sleep well all night, as Xiao Yingchun was on his mind.

From the first time I saw her, to the interactions between the two of us...

At first, his heart was full of Fu Jiajun, and he never thought that one day he would be so close to her.

But when he really held the girl in his arms, he was extremely sure: he really liked the feeling of holding her!

The kind that once you hug someone, you never want to let go.

Xiao Yingchun felt the coldness of the jade crown on Fu Chenan's head, and then she remembered that it was winter in Yongzhou City of Daliang Dynasty. "Are you cold?"

Fu Chenan, however, had the wrong idea. He looked at the soft and fluffy bedding expectantly, wanting to get into it.

If you are afraid of getting too warm, you will become a beast.

In the end, willpower overcame desire, and Fu Chenan gritted his teeth: "It's not cold."

It was not easy to get Xiao Ying'er to accept me, I can't scare her again!
Xiao Yingchun really believed it and sighed in his heart, "Soldiers are full of energy and are not afraid of the cold!"
