Chapter 470 - 217: High-Quality Fabric! Friendly Bargaining! (Thanks to the readers for their support)_4
"A bit fierce."
"Yes, the one in the lead is somewhat fierce, and quite fair-skinned."
Su Qifang and the maid continued walking in the Wei Family residence.
Su Qifang seemed to understand a little: "No wonder he’s so calm with me; apparently, I’m not as fierce as they are."
The little maid’s face was slowly nodding in shock: "Just now, it felt like I saw vast mountains and rivers, majestic and grand."
...
The next morning, Yuchi formally received Su Qifang.
They had meals at the Wei Family, without going out, and the meal was private—besides Yuchi, it was just Su Qifang alone.
But to avoid suspicion, the doors were open, with guards outside as well. After all, such matters weren’t secret, and Yuchi didn’t want any fishy rumors about himself; he was rather particular.
"Miss Su, let’s talk business directly."
Smiling at the woman in front of him, Yuchi said directly, "I’m very pleased to have found your family, so in this context, I wonder if I could collaborate with you from a private standpoint."
"From a private standpoint?" Su Qifang looked at Yuchi in confusion; she thought it would be a collaboration with the guild, not realizing it was just personal cooperation.
"Yes, I want to establish a cooperative relationship with you, so I wonder if you could provide some fabric samples for me to examine. Later we can discuss the price and confirm supplies." Yuchi clarified.
He was interested in the fabric, but as for other things, he really wasn’t that interested; normally, Yuan’Er was already perfect, and having tasted good things too often, other things didn’t hold much appeal. Even though he felt nothing inside, his face still wore a kind smile, almost like a very benevolent guild master.
"Please wait a moment; I’ll get them for you."
Su Qifang quickly responded and didn’t dare be careless; she opened her carry-on bag and took out a stack of fabrics. The fabric itself was about the size of a handkerchief, consisting of various materials, with about ten types in total.
Yuchi didn’t understand fabrics at all, but he had already prepared in advance. He picked up a piece of bluish-green fabric and felt it slightly in his hand: "Is this made from Snow Lotus Silk?"
Snow Lotus Silk... This was similar to the lotus root silk of his previous life, made from lotus roots, which was quite troublesome to produce but yielded excellent results. As for the snow lotus in Snow Lotus Silk, Yuchi didn’t know what kind of lotus it was, let alone its properties.
But pretending... especially when prepared in advance... was not harmful and was certainly convincing.
Su Qifang nodded, seeing the other party was indeed an expert: "Guild Master, this snow lotus was personally picked by people sent by our family. Three carts of snow lotus make the small handkerchief you have."
Three carts of snow lotus... Hmm... sounds a bit exaggerated, but actually not overly so. The output of Snow Lotus Silk was indeed low, but the snow lotus wasn’t just for making clothes; after extracting the silk, the snow lotus could still be used in medicine. It’s like buying duck blood at the market for duck blood vermicelli soup, and the vendor claims the duck only produced the blood; no one would believe it if they heard.
But in business, it’s about deception, exploiting information asymmetry; if you fully understand my tricks, then aren’t you my rival?
Su Qifang’s mindset had gradually calmed down; she didn’t know why Yuchi was asking about this snow lotus fabric since it couldn’t be mass-produced into clothing anyway.
To be real, this type of snow lotus fabric, due to its silky and breathable nature, is generally made into a small piece of special clothing, just enough to cover, no one is extravagant enough to use it as the main fabric.
Her own Bao’Er was wrapped in Snow Lotus Silk, and it felt very comfortable.
Limited supply? Not suitable to make whole garments? That’s exactly the effect desired; the Immortal Robe Pavilion definitely had to show sincerity the first time. Yuchi thought for a moment, looked through the other fabric samples in turn, and then shook his head to ask, "Is this the best you can provide?"
The first piece was Snow Lotus Silk fabric, and the following were quite average; even he, as an amateur, found them unimpressive, because truly beautiful things should resonate.
For example, Yuan’Er—everyone may have different aesthetic views, but once resonance occurs, that isn’t the case anymore.
"Ah?" Su Qifang was stunned; what did he mean, wasn’t it enough? Did he need something better?
Thinking for a moment, she changed her approach and said, "Answering the Guild Master’s question, there is naturally no ultimate perfection in the world; many things have some flaws, and this fabric is no exception—there’s always better."
Saying this, Su Qifang took back the small stack of fabric from Yuchi’s hand and gracefully took out a neatly folded piece of fabric from another sleeve: "Guild Master, please take a look!"
Yuchi took it; the fabric was folded like paper, but when unfolded, no texture could be seen, and the fabric actually spread out on its own, with little cloud patterns visible on the surface, gently moving as if the fabric depicted the blue sky, with white clouds still visible within it.
