Chapter 116 Big Profits
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "As long as the Xue Dong family is satisfied."
Ask him again: "Xue Dong family, does our Wei Dynasty have regulations that the common people are not allowed to wear purple? ”
The emperor’s power is granted by heaven, and there is an old saying that purple energy comes from the east. Therefore, many emperors do not allow the people to use purple, so she must ask clearly.
Xue Dongjia said: "There is no such rule. In our Wei Dynasty, anyone can wear purple clothes. The reason why you haven't seen purple clothes often is because purple cloth is expensive, and usually it is the boss of a big house. Mistress wears it.”
He also said: "There are no taboos about color. Only the private production of the emperor's robe with twelve crowns is the death penalty for the nine tribes."
Qin Xiaomi: "Then I'll be relieved."
Xue Dong’s family went again I touched the twenty-four pieces of cloth: "Not bad, quite soft, not hard."
After dyeing, the hardness of many pieces of cloth will increase, and the upper body will be very sensitive to the skin. Workers need to rub it repeatedly to make the cloth Knead until soft.
Ask Qin Xiaomi again: "Give me the cost brochures of the new dyes and pigment powders. I will look at them now. Before tomorrow morning, we have to determine the selling prices of the two finished products."
The news of his return must have spread, and at the latest the day after tomorrow, many merchants will flock here, so they have to set the price quickly.
And: "If the imperial court accepts the donation, people will definitely be sent to check the accounts. We have to complete all the accounts."
Vice General Liang has already expedited the donation matter. Send it to the new emperor. Regardless of whether the new emperor accepts it or not, they must complete the accounts to avoid trouble.
This profit offering made Vice General Liang and his friends very happy, and even praised him in public, saying that he was rich and responsible, different from other merchants.
Xue Dongjia added: "I may have to stay up late to settle accounts. There will be a few men here to keep an eye on your family."
The premise of mutual trust is that there are no secrets. To settle accounts and set prices, it is related to the profitability of new dyes. Someone from both parties must be present, but Qin Xiaomi is a little girl after all, and it is not easy to stay up late with them.
Qin Xiaomi said: "Then let Uncle Cunquan, Dalang and Xiaogu go. The three of them are very good at settling accounts."
Xue Dongjia agreed: "Sure."
Qin Xiaomi immediately went to get the account book.
"The jar is here." Grandpa Qin shouted: "Dashi, come here and move the jar, those sexy soups are still waiting to be loaded into the jar!"
"Here we come." Qin Dashi took the men from Qin Dayan, Qin Eryong, Xu Qiao's family, Qin Laoliu and his son, and hurried to move the jar.
But the front and back yards of the workshop are already filled with vats, buckets, and basins for holding color soup, and there is really no free space.
Jiang Dalang said: "Grandpa Qin, please move half of the jars to Grandpa Qin Liu's house. There is really no room for them here."
"Sure." Grandpa Qin asked Qin Dashi and the others to move them Half of the empty altar was moved to Qin Laoliu's house.
At the workshop, Qin Xiaomi had already boiled water and washed the other half of the empty jar with boiling water.
Then he called Aunt Xu and the others: "The person who cooks the ingredients is responsible for loading the jar, and the person who pounded the ingredients is responsible for putting oil paper and paste clay to seal the mouth of the jar. Mother Pan, you are responsible for preparing two secret recipe bags, and Aunt Qiao and Sister Lizi are responsible for checking. Don't mix too much or too little. Match, empty altar , the weight is not enough, and the sealing is not good.”
After she finished explaining, the female workers immediately got busy, filling the soup, sealing the jar, preparing the secret recipe package, and checking. They packed three bags before the end of the work. Hundreds of pots of color soup.
Xue Dongjia looked at the jar of finished products and nodded with satisfaction: "Girl Qin, you did a good job, everything big and small was handled very properly." It was a jar of color soup paired with a pack of medium color-changing powder, and a pack of media color-changing powder. When dyeing the bamboo tube's color-fixing liquid, you only need to take two secret recipes and mix them with the secret recipe water to dye the cloth. It is extremely convenient. Farmers can buy it and dye it themselves.
Qin Xiaomi said: "It's not good enough. It's too bulky to transport."
Xue Dongjia said: "Whatever, it's the buyer's business to transport it. If you want us to transport it, then add money... Anyway, let's give out the first batch of goods now, set up the stall, and put the money The most important thing is getting it into your hands.”
Seeing that there was no place to put the three hundred jars of finished products, Jiang Dalang went to discuss with Xu Qiao's family. After a while, he went to Manager Xue and said: "Manager Xue, ask the Xue family to help put the finished products of Fengtan. Se Tang moved to Xu's house Son. The Xu family brothers are fighting with Song Guo. With them guarding us, we can rest assured.” Se Tang all moved to Xu’s house!”
"Yes." All the altars and soups have been moved.
The workshop was brightly lit. Xue Dongjia and Jiang Dalang, with a group of people, were busy calculating accounts in the main room. The crackling sound was the fiddle of abacus beads.
After hearing this, Qin Eryong, who was helping to guard the door, whispered: "This sound is so loud. If the calculation lasts until dawn, won't it break the abacus beads?"
Xue Feng wanted to laugh when he heard this. Qin Eryong was quite amused. Then he said hurriedly: "Stop talking. If you disturb the boss and the others, the accounts will have to be recalculated."
So scary?
Qin Eryong was too frightened to say anything.
Not long after, Grandma Qin and the others prepared the meal, picked it up in a basket, and placed it at the door of the workshop: "Feng boy, the meal is ready. It's meat-filled pancakes. It's very convenient to eat. Don't delay. Mr. Xue’s family is settling accounts. Send them in as soon as possible. Don’t work hungry.”
"Sure."
But Dong Xue couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to him: "Are you a thief? If you fart, just let it go!"
Staying up late to settle accounts on a hot day is already very irritating, but Xue Feng also From time to time, I would poke my head in, and the person would become even more angry, so I had to scold him.
Xue Feng said hurriedly: "My boss, the Qin family has brought food."
Xue Dongjia: "Then bring it in quickly, do you want to starve us to death?"
< br>
Tsk, my boss is so angry. It seems that Manager Xue is right... settling accounts is a bad job that can make a mute curse.
Xue Feng hurried out and soon came in with a basket in one hand: "It's meat pie and vegetable soup, which is very convenient to eat."
Xue Dong's family and the others took it one by one. I ordered a pancake and continued to fiddle with the abacus beads to calculate accounts while biting it.
I kept busy until midnight. After finally calculating all the costs and profits to my satisfaction, they fell asleep one after another.
The next day, when it was still dark, a large group of people came to the village entrance. Businessmen from all over Dongming Prefecture who made cloth dyeing, calligraphy and painting pigments, and even rouge and gouache came.
Businessmen from other prefectural cities also came.
Manager Xue heard some noise before he woke up. He hurriedly got up to check the situation. He saw a motorcade with no end in sight. He immediately woke up with fright... There were so many people, could the boss do it against them?
If they can't do it, won't the price of goods be suppressed by them and they will lose a lot of money?
The new dye workshop attracted too many people, so Kang County Magistrate sent Mr. Han, Secretary Guan, and Mr. Gong Qi to come together and said to Manager Xue: "There is a letter here , you bring it to Dong Xue’s house and let him think about it before coming out to pick him up, and we will help him buy time.” Manager Xue quickly picked up the letter and went to the village west workshop.
