Early in the morning, the sound of birds was crisp, and the maid had just sprinkled water on the ground, and the pillars were also washed clean. Cheng Yujin was walking in the veranda, and all she could see in her eyes were the refreshing breath that was unique to the morning, and she was wearing a white dress, walking slowly, and falling in the eyes of others was also part of the beauty.
People in Chenmingyuan knew her very well when they saw her, so they said hello to her from afar. Cheng Yujin smiled and nodded. When Liu Yi, who had just returned from outside, saw her, he immediately stopped and cupped his hands: "Miss."
"Director Liu." Cheng Yujin bowed back. She was well aware of Liu Yi's identity. He was probably a confidant father-in-law in the palace, and now he was following Cheng Yuanjing's side as a servant, so it was appropriate to call him "general manager".
Liu Yi hurriedly declined: "The eldest girl smashed the slave, how can the servant be called the eldest girl..."
"You're welcome, manager." Cheng Yujin stood up and said with a smile, "Manager Liu is the most trusted person around Uncle Ninth. He often runs outside. "
Although Liu Yi was humble, he looked very happy. What he is proud of is not how much power he has won or how many things he has done, but being reused by the prince. Cheng Yujin's words can be said to be right in Liu Yi's heart.
Cheng Yujin looked at Liu Yi's expression and knew that she was right. She motioned to Du Ruo, Du Ruo immediately brought out the food box on her arm, Cheng Yujin said, "The little girl was taken care of by the ninth uncle, and she also entrusted the general manager to help a lot before, I have nothing to do, I can only give it to Liu Manager prepare some snacks. If things are not good, Manager Liu should not dislike it."
Liu Yi waved his hand: "How can this be made? It is a blessing for a slave to run errands for the eldest girl, how can you accept the eldest girl's things!"
"Manager Liu, take it, this is our girl's heart." Du Ruo said, and put the food box in the hands of the young servant behind Liu Yi. Liu Yi's refusal was also pretentious. Seeing that Cheng Yujin could talk and do things like this, he accepted it half-heartedly: "So, my servant, thank you, Miss."
"You're welcome, manager." Cheng Yujin said with a smile.
Taking the principle of short hands and soft mouth, Liu Yi accepted Cheng Yujin's food, and he spoke a lot more amicably. He asked, "The girl came to Chen Ming Yuan so early, but has something to do with Jiuye?"
"It's not a big deal." Cheng Yujin paused and said unintentionally, "But there are some words, I want to ask Director Liu to help me spread it out."
"What's so difficult about this?" Liu Yi waved his hand when he heard the words, and said, "Young lady, come with the servant, write down everything you want to say on paper, and the servant will take you out as soon as you go out."
Cheng Yujin's smile became more sincere: "I have to work with Director Liu."
Cheng Yujin came prepared today. She came early in the morning and asked Liu Yi to speak before he went out. She even brought the drawings. Cheng Yujin sat in the pantry and took out the same things from her purse.
"This is the pattern of clothes I drew. Please bring it to Yunyifang. The profit from selling fabrics is limited. If the fabrics are made into ready-made garments, the same piece of fabric can earn several times the profit. Besides, The cloth is all flat, and it is impossible to tell whether it is good or bad when piled together. If a ready-made garment can be placed next to it, it will look much better. When guests see the clothes look good, they will be willing to take a piece of cloth back. If the customer is unwilling to do it by himself, Yunyifang can leave the fabric and help to cut the clothes. In this way, both the purchase of the cloth and the making of the clothes, the material and the craftsman are their own, which can make more money than simply selling the cloth. already."
Cheng Yujin told Du Ruo to take out the package. She spread out a corner and showed Liu Yi a jacket: "This is a short jacket I made from Yunyifang's brocade. I saw it that day. I think the color of this moiré blue-green forging is very correct. In the past two days, my maid and I have made a dress and it looks really good. I remember this kind of satin, in addition to the cloud blue and green moiré, there are also magnolia and phoenix patterns. , lotus flower pattern, there are several colors from white to red. Manager Liu went to Yunyifang today and asked them to put satin of different colors and textures together, and put this jacket next to the fabric. If you like clothes, but you like other colors, you can choose from other materials. This piece of paper records the weight of the jacket when you make it. Please bring it to the shopkeeper. But be sure to remind him and let him put the data. If the customer likes it, leave the fabric in Yunyifang, but never give out the tailoring data."
Liu Yi nodded while listening, waiting for the paper in Cheng Yujin's hand, he was even more amazed in his heart. Liu Yi unfolded the paper and glanced at it, secretly sighing that Cheng Yujin is really good at doing business, selling raw materials is far better than selling processing, and Cheng Yujin makes everything from fabrics to tailoring to finished products in his own home, saving customers effort, Yunyi Square can also earn more.
And I have to say that the same clothes, made from Cheng Yujin's hands, are much more delicate and pretty. Judging from Liu Yi's experience in the concubines and palace maids, he guessed that Cheng Yujin had tightened the sleeves and waist so that it was close to the body and showed curves, which was very charming.
After all, Cheng Yujin has limited time. Besides the jacket, she only had time to make a skirt. The skirt is made of yarn, lined with white silk on the inside and soft yarn on the outside. I don't know how to make the pleats on both sides, but they look slender and elegant, with a feeling of fluttering.
It's summer now, so I don't know how much attention should be paid to such a skirt with a sunny upper body.
After Cheng Yujin pointed the general focus to Liu Yi, she asked Du Ruo to put away all the clothes and hand them over to Liu Yi together with the clothing data. Liu Yi is a person who has walked in the inner court and official circles, and has first-class ability to handle affairs. Cheng Yujin is very relieved to hand things over to him. Cheng Yujin had finished her work and was in a good mood. She got up and took the maid out of the pantry.
The sun was just right when they came out, and Cheng Yujin left another cake for Cheng Yuanjing.
In the pantry, Xiao Liuzi sent someone back, and Liu Yi asked, "Miss Cheng is gone?"
"Yes. The eldest lady went to greet Jiuye again, and said hello to Jiuye before leaving."
Liu Yi nodded: "The two men in the Cheng family have not been able to gain an inch for many years. They only know how to blame others. It's not as good as a little girl who knows etiquette."
The pale-faced Xiao Liu swept the things on the table and asked, "Godfather, those things..."
"It's rare that she knows how to honor Jiuye. I see that Jiuye is in a much better mood these days. Since she is with Jiuye to relieve her boredom, it's okay for me to run this trip for her. Anyway, she is a woman and can't affect the situation."
Liu Yi didn't know that Cheng Yujin already knew Cheng Yuanjing's identity. He just thought that Cheng Yujin still regarded Cheng Yuanjing as Cheng's family, so he ran around every day. The rest of the Cheng family are all eyeing Cheng Yuanjing, for fear that Cheng Yuanjing will divide their family property, and among so many people, only Cheng Yujin is enthusiastic and keeps showing good intentions. In contrast, Liu Yi's impression of Cheng Yujin is getting better and better.
"Godfather, you have a lot of things to do outside, or Miss Cheng, my son will do it for you."
Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "No, it's not a difficult task. It's all done in one trip. I'll do it myself. There are many businessmen. Work. I'll go for the first time, I don't think they dare to perfunctory me."
Little Liu Zi said yes, he thought to himself, isn't it? Liu Yi is a smiling tiger in the palace. He has been running outside with the prince all these years, and he has become more and more worried. To deter a mere shopkeeper is like killing a chicken. Use a bull's knife.
Which shopkeeper dares to despise Liu Yi? As the saying goes, one should also look at the master when beating a dog. Similarly, when evaluating a master, one should also look at the dog. With such a powerful slave under his command, I am afraid that Yunyifang will be respectful to Miss Cheng from now on, and will not dare to despise her.
When Liu Yi saw that Xiao Liuzi had finished speaking, he was still standing in front of him and didn't walk away, his eyes squinting at the table. Liu Yi glanced at the food box next to him, understood in his heart, and scolded, "Look at your virtues, why don't you be so active in doing things?"
Xiao Liuzi bowed and smiled: "Isn't this a godfather who loves me? My father is amazing, and of course my son has become a wine bag and a rice bag."
Liu Yi laughed when he was told, he kicked his foot, and said, "Slip your tongue, remember to eat, don't remember to beat, get out."
Xiao Liu Zi pretended to be in pain and avoided it, then happily wrapped two pieces of cake in a handkerchief and went out. Cheng Yujin has been coming to Chenmingyuan every day these days, and the people in Chenmingyuan have been on guard from the very beginning, and slowly turned into a real fragrance. I have to say that the cakes brought by Cheng Yujin are really delicious.
Cheng Yujin didn't know what kind of big killer she had brought out. The shopkeepers of Yunyifang and Linlang Pavilion were frightened to death. Although Liu Yi concealed his identity as a eunuch, he still had the temperament of a factory guard. Wherever he went, the shopkeeper of Yunyifang was so frightened that he almost knelt down. Liu Yi's aura was terrifying, the shopkeeper must take seriously what he explained, for fear that it would not meet Liu Yi's requirements a little bit. Cheng Yujin's idea was implemented even better than she imagined. The account book was delivered at the end of the month. Cheng Yujin was shocked when she saw this month's profit.
Profits doubled in just one month. Not only that, the shopkeeper's trustee spread a word, saying that after the rain, the clear yarn and the cloud pattern blue and green forging are the best sellers, and the stocks are all sold out. Seeing this, other fabric shops also bought the same material and competed with them for profit. At the same time, customers who made ready-to-wear last time came to ask if there were any new styles.
Cheng Yujin did not expect this development. She originally planned to use the ready-to-wear belts for sales, but she did not expect it to be so popular. Cheng Yujin recalculated the income and added this amount to her small treasury, and she was in a good mood.
It seems that the way of ready-to-wear is very right, and the changes can be made faster in the future, such as changing a batch of new clothes in half a month. If it is too fast to highlight the rarity, it will be imitated by other clothing stores and affect profits, so half a month is just right.
Cheng Yujin took out a few patterns she had thought of before, picked out a shirt and two skirts, and planned to bring it to Liu Yi tomorrow, so that Liu Yi could help her pass it to Yunyifang. Cheng Yujin grew up in the splendid pile of splendor, and the girls competed seriously, and Cheng Yujin must win the top prize, so she has spent countless thoughts on clothes over the years. She is also someone who wants to be on the air, and refuses to put her efforts on the bright side. She must compare everyone else with a casual, as if she doesn't care about dressing at all. Therefore, after years of tempering, Cheng Yujin has a lot of experience in designing clothes and matching jewelry, and even a special hairbrush mama can't compare to her.
It was very cumbersome for her to make clothes in the past, as small as a button, as large as the embroidery on the clothes, she had to choose all of them, and it was completely impossible to wear the sample clothes directly. The maid in the sewing room of the Houfu of Yichun had a headache when she saw Cheng Yujin, and it was inevitable that there would be many unsatisfactory things when she asked the embroidery workshop outside to order it.
Well now, Cheng Yujin has her own clothing store and can completely let her toss. Cheng Yujin was finally able to make a dress very picky and earn money by the way.
Simply perfect.
Cheng Yujin also thought about a few jewelry patterns. She had long disliked her jewelry for being too old-fashioned, and only a few of the patterns were exchanged, but it was a pity that she had never been able to buy the ones she liked. Now it is just right, she draws the tricks according to her own mind, takes it out for Linlang Pavilion to play, and when the finished product is finished, it will be passed in for her to see. If Cheng Yujin is satisfied, she will wear it for a few days to show off, and then she can let Linlangge launch new models for sale. If she is not satisfied, she will slowly transform it.
Cheng Yujin was busy under the lamp until the dead of night. It was not until Du Ruolai urged her to sleep several times that she reluctantly put away the drawings, counted the net income for the month again, and went to bed satisfied.
The next day, Cheng Yujin went to Mrs. Cheng's house to greet her, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard Mrs. Ruan say, "Mother, Jingyong Hou's mansion has sent someone to urge him, is it time to prepare for the marriage of Mo'er and Huo Houye? "
