Chapter 108 She voted for this project
The sky was slightly bright, the ground was covered with frost, and the exile team at the inn was about to set off.
The cold wind like a knife blew across their cheeks, and everyone shrank. If they walked too slowly, they would inevitably be whipped twice.
Behind him is Jingyue, which is getting farther and farther away, and the road ahead is getting more and more desolate and cold.
The He family kept the things they got yesterday and tried to reduce their presence in the crowd.
They were all wearing warm clothes so as not to be discovered, and had shared a small piece of beef jerky, so they were in much better condition than the others.
other side.
Everyone is rushing into the city to sell their goods. If it gets colder, there won't be many people on the streets.
In the most prosperous area of the capital, shops selling Chaos and hot soup on the streets are busy, and the smoke of fireworks and shouts are mixed in the cold wind of early winter.
But Liu Erniang held her things and walked to the secluded road on the other side.
The grocery store in Qingshi Lane was open, and the shopkeeper inside saw her standing on the edge. He looked at her first, and then asked calmly,
"The girl is looking for someone?"
Liu Erniang was stunned for a moment, thinking that the grocery store that Miss Shen mentioned before should be this one, so she thought carefully and said,
"I'm here to deliver goods to Miss Shen."
The shopkeeper relaxed his guard a little and said kindly,
"Miss Shen's shop is at the back. If it's not open, you can leave your things here first and I will pay you the money first."
"Thank you."
Liu Erniang smiled and nodded, holding her things and walking inside.
When I saw the familiar wooden door, I finally felt relieved.
When she went out this morning, she deliberately changed into her most decent clothes. Although they were also made of coarse cloth, she sewed them with the most generous amount of stitches and stitches, so that she would not be short-changed.
I would be reluctant to wear it on weekdays, so I thought I would send some fabric today to leave a good impression on Miss Shen, so I took it out.
On the way here, she had been worried about the delivery problem. After all, she knew that this antique shop was unusual.
The wooden door in front of me is not open, but there is a sign hanging on it, ‘Please ring the bell here’
Liu Erniang had never seen this thing before, so she reached out and pressed it on doubtfully.
There seems to be no response.
She hesitated for a while and was about to press it again. Unexpectedly, the door opened automatically. She was almost shocked by this turn of events.
Shen You just got up and hurried downstairs in a long floral floral dress. She happened to see Liu Erniang holding two pieces of brocade and standing solemnly in the yard.
"Come in," she called.
"Yes." Liu Erniang looked at Shen You's disheveled hair and the slippers under her feet with some surprise.
She knew that clogs were worn by wealthy people.
But I have never seen such a furry one with two bunny ears on it.
It looks very soft and warm, and the bottom is not as hard as clogs at all. The nobles in Beijing will probably like it.
"Miss Shen, this is the fabric you ordered. Please take a look at it." Liu Erniang withdrew her gaze and handed over the material with both hands.
"Just put it on the chair." Shen You raised a smile, "You sit down for a while first."
Liu Erniang raised her head flattered and responded with a very soft voice after a while.
She had also delivered handkerchiefs to rich merchants in the town before. The maids of the master's family were all on a higher level than ordinary people. She could not look around in the house. If she made a mistake, she would not be allowed to work again next time.
What's more, sitting down is a treatment that only guests of the host family have.
In Miss Shen's case, she felt that the other party regarded her as the same person.
How could this respect not make people moved and grateful?
Shen You casually took a fishtail-shaped wooden hairpin from the counter, tied it up in her hair, and then began to look at the fabric Liu Erniang sent.
She is an outsider, but she has been exposed to a lot of good materials and can still tell the difference in feel.
Two pieces of cloth, one with butterfly embroidery, looks quite smart. Liu Erniang held her breath and watched Shen You's expression nervously, fearing that the fabric she was weaving would not be up to standard.
It wasn't until she heard Shen You say, "The stuff is pretty good." She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Twenty taels here is the final payment." Shen You took out two pieces of silver, "The one hundred taels here is considered the deposit for subsequent orders and the wages paid to you in advance."
She now has sales channels, so ordering a few more horses won't be a big problem.
The better the material, the more difficult it is to weave. For example, Yun brocade requires two people to work together to operate the loom, so Shen You paid a large sum of money this time.
The price difference earned from fabrics is nothing compared to antiques, but it can help customers open up sales and earn points and business value at the same time.
If you have points, next time you go to Daqi to learn a craft, you won’t have to spend money to buy time.
Liu Erniang was shocked when she saw the shiny one hundred taels of silver placed in front of her.
Even her former mother-in-law could not easily come up with such a large amount of money.
"As long as the goods you deliver are good, there will be no shortage of orders and final payments in the future." Shen You said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Miss Shen, I will definitely make your order!" Liu Erniang said firmly.
If you do Miss Shen's job well, your younger brothers and sisters will no longer have to endure hardships and be looked down upon by others.
"I want to hire a few more people and buy two more looms. After winter, it's freezing outside, so it's good to be able to work at home."
Liu Erniang talked about her idea with a look on her face.
"Very good. If I give you another hundred taels, you should be able to set up a small workshop. Just regard it as my investment."
This project is good, even if it loses money, it won't be much loss. She invested heavily in it!
Liu Erniang was stunned again.
She didn't understand the word 'investment', but she understood what Shen You meant and was so excited that she couldn't speak.
After a few seconds, the mood calmed down a little, and when he was about to ask if it was true, he saw that Shen You had already taken out the silver.
Liu Erniang also offered to sign a deed, which is a modern contract.
In this way, when the workshop is opened in the future, Shen You won't have to worry about her disapproval.
The deed can indeed be signed, but Shen You doesn't know what the documents from Da Qi look like, and she doesn't know how to write them.
So she asked Liu Erniang to go to the grocery store, ask the shopkeeper to write a picture, and then take it over.
Liu Erniang did as she was told and got the deed. Shen You read the content first to make sure it was correct and put it into the system cashier.
Before leaving, Liu Erniang looked at her slippers for a while, silently noted the style, and then asked,
"Miss Shen, are the shoes you are wearing made of rabbit fur?"
"No, no, no." Shen You waved her hand immediately.
Her only requirement for the slippers she wears at home is that they are wearable and cheap.
How can something that costs more than 20 yuan and comes with free shipping be made of such good material, that is, polyester fiber.
"It's similar to the down material in thermal clothing, not real fur."
Thinking of warm clothes, Liu Erniang's eyes suddenly brightened a little, "I understand."
After walking out of the shop with more than two hundred taels of money in her pocket, she first went to a bank to deposit the money, and then went straight to some of the best shoe and clog shops and clothing stores in the city.
After walking around for an hour, I only saw clogs and leather shoes. The cheaper ones were made of straw and cloth.
The comfort level seems to be far worse than what Miss Shen wears.
If you use the fabric of thermal clothing or find real rabbit fur to make those kind of shoes, it happens to be winter again, and you probably won't be able to sell them.
Liu Erniang had an idea in her mind and immediately went to Youjian Shop to buy four sets of the cheapest thermal clothes.
I went to pick out a few more pairs of soles.
Then I went to look at the venue for the workshop. It was not easy to choose a location with cheap rent and good location.
