Chapter 996 Sixteen sets of official uniforms
The goods to be trafficked this time were white sugar, foreign goods, such as spices and medicinal materials, cloves, nutmeg, myrrh, ambergris, as well as ivory, rhinoceros horns, etc.
Because Guangzhou is the most important foreign trade port, foreign goods here are easy to find and relatively cheap.
Chen Dongling has a familiar trader, so it is okay for Sun Shan to take a small amount of goods.
In fact, glass products like jewelry are more popular, but they are more expensive and Sun Shan cannot afford them, so he has to ask for some commonly used and slightly cheaper goods.
After getting Chen Dongling's letter of recommendation.
Sun Shan said to Master Zhang and Sun Dingnan, "You can do whatever you want. Sell whatever you think is more profitable."
Sun Dingnan was a little nervous. When he was with Sun Shan before, he had the backbone and he was just a porter in the back.
This time, I asked him to be in charge of Master Zhang in order to train his eyesight. It was my first time doing this, so I was very nervous.
As a broker, Mr. Zhang had seen a lot of business, so he was not afraid to negotiate. He was just surprised that Sun Shan, an official, was actually engaged in business, which was different from the impression he had of those officials.
Moreover, this is the first time he has been given a task, and he is actually allowed to purchase the goods throughout the process. His power is too great. Is he too confident in himself?
Sun Shan handed the money to Sun Dingnan and said, "With this little money, you can decide what to sell. Anyway, my requirements are not high. I just want to double my profit."
After traveling through mountains and rivers to sell goods, earning twice as much is actually not much. Because this time the labor is free, the cost is much lower. So I am satisfied to earn twice as much.
Sun Dingnan took the money and said firmly: "Ashan, I understand. My master and I will do our best."
Master Zhang also quickly expressed his loyalty: "Master, I know that too. We will do our job well."
Sun Shan asked them to do it, and he had already done the most difficult step of finding the source of goods.
The remaining negotiations and product inspections are not difficult. I hope they won't let me down.
After leaving, Master Zhang and Sun Dingnan hurried to purchase goods. They didn't have much time left and would have to set off in a few days.
Master Zhang went to Chen's house with Sun Shan today, and then got the supplier. He thought: Although Sun Shan is from a peasant family and has no background, he knows a lot of people. He also knows the Chen family in Guangzhou. It seems that they have a good relationship. The master is quite capable.
When Sun Shan returned home, his eldest aunt Sun and uncle He were also there.
Aunt Sun said quickly: "Shanzi, you're back."
Then he pulled Sun Shan inside, opened a large box and said, "These are the official uniforms that were made for you. There are sixteen sets for spring, summer, autumn and winter. They are made according to your measurements and should fit you."
Let Sun Shan try it immediately. If it doesn’t fit, modify it immediately.
If Aunt Sun hadn't mentioned this matter, Sun Shan would have really forgotten about it.
The damn imperial court doesn’t issue official uniforms, you have to customize them yourself.
Sun Shan looked at the box of clothes and said with emotion: "Thank you, auntie, this is too much. You don't need to make so much."
Uncle He shook his head and said, "We need to make more. Especially on rainy days, we won't be able to wear clothes if they are not dry. We should make a few more sets so that we can have some to change into."
Aunt Sun also said, "Sixteen sets are not enough. If the journey wasn't too far, I would make you a few more. We have great access to fabrics and embroidery here, and the workmanship is pretty good. It would be difficult to get them in Yuanlu."
There were no restrictions on the material of official uniforms, but there were regulations on the style and pattern. Because He Shujin was in front of her, Aunt Sun was familiar with these.
She smiled and said, "After these official uniforms are made, they can be worn for a long time. If you need them made, write to me and I will make them for you."
Sun Shan hummed and choked up, saying, "Okay, Aunt, if there aren't enough clothes, I'll write and ask you to make them."
Aunt Sun and Uncle He didn't think it was troublesome at all and said cheerfully, "Okay, try it on quickly."
Sun Shan began to try on clothes in front of his family.
Sun Bomin looked at Sun Shan in his official uniform and thought his son was very handsome. She said with a blushing face, "Sister, our son Shan looks really handsome in his official uniform. He has the body to wear it naturally."
Su was very proud of it and said proudly: "Big sister, the head of the family is right. Look at Shan Zi, he is made of the material for being an official. When he wears it like this, he looks exactly like an official."
Yun Jie'er also thought that Brother Shan looked very handsome in his official uniform, but it was difficult to talk with so many people around. She looked at Sun Shan with a red face and stars in her eyes.
Uncle He said with a smile: "Our Shan Zi is well-shaped, so he will look good in it. Haha, so majestic and handsome."
Aunt Sun thought so too, and said with a gentle smile, "Yes, I never thought that our Shanzi would wear an official uniform one day."
She nodded with satisfaction: "The embroidery lady made it to fit me well, not bad, not bad, it makes our Shanzi look even more handsome."
Gui Ge'er felt the same way, and said with a twinkling smile: "Brother Shan, you look so majestic and handsome in your official uniform."
Sun Shan thought so too. Putting on the official uniform made him feel completely different. He held his head high and chest out, and felt a few centimeters taller.
She said proudly: "Aunt, the embroiderer did a great job, let her do it next time."
Sister Yun helped Sun Shan to arrange his clothes and said with a smile, "Brother Shan, make a different pattern next time. You will definitely get a promotion next time."
When these words were spoken, everyone was very happy. Who doesn’t want to be promoted?
Haha, Sister Yun said it well. Next time I will make a different pattern to represent that Sun Shan has reached a higher level.
Sun Shan tried on all the clothes, and every time he put on a piece of clothing, his relatives and friends exclaimed in amazement.
Sun Shan lost himself in waves of rainbow bubbles.
However, after hearing the little fat girl crying, I was immediately brought back to reality.
Sun Shan held Aunt Sun's hands tightly and said with emotion: "Aunt, thank you for your hard work in making so many clothes for me."
Then he said to Uncle He: "Uncle, Shanzi knows that you have always been good to me and treated me like your own son. I am going to take up the post this time and I am very reluctant to leave you."
Uncle He's eyes were red, and he said in a deep voice: "Good Shanzi, your uncle is reluctant to let you go. A man should have ambitions to be a good official. Your uncle is proud of you."
Looking at a pile of clothes, not to mention all the good things in the past.
Sun Boming was also touched by how good his elder sister and brother-in-law were to Shanzi.
Sun Bomin said: "Shanzi, even if you become a high official in the future, don't forget your uncle and aunt. They are both devoted to you. You should remember where you came from and never forget your roots."
Su was both afraid of and jealous of Aunt Sun, but in that she was nice to Sun Shan, she was exactly the same as Aunt Sun.
I quickly agreed, "Yes, Shanzi, your uncle and aunt have loved you the most since you were a child. You are where you are today, thanks to your uncle and aunt. You must be filial to them in the future."
Sun Shan hummed and kowtowed to Aunt Sun and Uncle He to express his gratitude: "Uncle, Aunt, I will never forget your kindness to me. You must take good care of yourselves and wait for me to become a high-ranking official and come back."
