Chapter 251 - 105 Start_4
Although the words were unpleasant, what Ye Mingxuan said was not entirely without reason.
"Alright, alright, it all comes down to my being ignorant," Ye Mingyu, attacked by the crowd, hurriedly cupped his hands in a pleading gesture, and said, "I can’t argue with you all, it’s my fault. But it’s not up to me to decide, and it seems that the business of Ancient Fragrance Satin cannot be continued, our Ye Family’s weaving mainly relies on Ancient Fragrance Satin, right?"
The members of the Ye Family were all silent.
Jiang Li asked, "Besides Ancient Fragrance Satin, doesn’t the Ye Family Weaving produce anything else?"
"It’s not that there isn’t anything else," Lady Guan explained, "In fact, besides Ancient Fragrance Satin, our Weaving Yard also produces many other types of fabric. But those fabrics can be produced by others too, and even if others can’t make them, they don’t attract much attention. Mother and father, when they were together, every once in a while, would come out with some fashionable fabrics, but the only one that stood the test of time was Ancient Fragrance Satin."
"Ancient Fragrance Satin is superior in material and has a natural fragrance. Wealthy families like to use it, and even ordinary people, if they have extra silver, are willing to buy a piece or two for making clothes during festivals, so there’s no shortage of buyers," she said.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li said, "So, the Ye Family rose to prominence through Ancient Fragrance Satin because people love it, not because it is irreplaceable. If we can make a fabric that is even more attractive than Ancient Fragrance Satin, we could soon revive our reputation, right?"
The room fell quiet, and Ye Jiaer said, "Cousin, it’s easy to say, but over the years, there have been countless fabric merchants in Northern Yan with so many designs. Whatever you can make, others can also make. Let’s not even talk about whether they like it or not, the words ’irreplaceable’ are not so easily achieved."
It was also true that the irreplaceability of Ancient Fragrance Satin came from the fabric’s natural fragrance - a secret recipe of the Ye Family that was not shared with outsiders. Such secret recipes are not something you can just find on the street. Sometimes it might take tens or hundreds of years to come up with one, but sometimes, one secret recipe can save an entire clan.
