And this is also Chen Jie's second purpose for seeing Shen Wansan today, which is to find a distributor for his high-quality cotton fabric.
It's important to note that cotton fabric is a valuable commodity; during this era, it's even considered hard currency. Besides gold and silver, fabric could circulate as money to exchange for goods.
Therefore, many big merchants are keen on buying fabric.
Shen Wansan is just such a major fabric merchant. He has a vast business network for fabric. With his channels and Chen Jie's goods, the two can easily collaborate for mutual benefit. Why not do so?
Hence, Chen Jie took out the cotton fabric, looked at Shen Wansan, and said: "How is this cotton fabric?"
Shen Wansan looked at the cotton fabric in front of him and said: "Very good, I wonder if Guild Leader Chen would let me test it out."
Chen Jie replied: "Please do."
Shen Wansan said: "Miss, could you please fetch me two basins of water, one hot and one cold."
