Liu Qiqiao is wearing a azure robe and standing in front of the newly opened Shenjia silk and satin shop. Although she is small, she is now very aggressive.
Although the store was not large and did not make a big splash, two whips were still put off, and the bluestone road in front of the store was red with cannon shavings.
The five big characters in red lacquer on the black plaque: Shenjia Silk and Satin Village, very majestic and majestic. There were two beggars along the street. Liu Qiqiao asked the guy to bring two buns from behind, and gave each of them a little copper, which they passed away.
In fact, it was a little deserted. The street was not very lively. Shen Yunong didn't let the movement be too much. When he didn't come, Liu Qiqiao and Shen Yuyuan were busy in and out of the store.
Those who came to the store today got a small sachet when they entered the door. This was also Liu Qiqiao’s idea. The sachet contained several kinds of incense, and embroidered various auspicious words on the sachet, what peace, wishfulness, auspiciousness...
At first, only three or two people came in with fresh pictures, but seeing the pictures on the wall was extremely fresh. Liu Qiqiao took the trouble to introduce them to every customer who came in.
Not only introduced the fabrics, but also the clothes on the pictures. These people looked at them, but they were all moved.
Someone repeatedly asked, Liu Qiqiao called the master over, measured her size, calculated the fabric used, and how much silver it cost. Liu Qiqiao was wearing men's clothing, and the sky-blue shirt took advantage of her face like jade and a square scarf of the same color. Covering a head of hair, it is exactly the appearance of a handsome young man with clean brows.
The girl introduced by her couldn’t help but glanced at her more, holding a fan and smiling while covering her lips, and said to the partner who came together: “Why don’t we just order two sets, just press the wall, I think Quite good looking!"
The other nodded, "Okay, the sizes are all measured, not too expensive!"
Liu Qiqiao listened to them saying this, and greeted them with a smile: "We opened on the first day today. Look, here are some gadgets for the customers in the deal. Come on, ladies pick one... "
The two girls came over, a sachet of a dustpan, a net, and a small purse. They looked exquisite and lovely. They were not shoddy because they were gifts.
"Is it really for free?" one asked incredulously.
"Of course, is it open today! Take a good look at this fan pendant. It's me... Oh, my sister made it up. It's all new..." Liu Qiqiao almost missed her mouth. In order to make these little things, she even I have been busy for a few nights without sleeping.
"My son, it's a coincidence that your sister's hands are too coincidental. Is this colander also made by her? It's so beautiful!" Another girl picked a colander and asked, "This is also for free!"
"Yes, it's free, as long as you spend money in our shop today, you can pick these items!" Liu Qiqiao said.
The two girls looked at each other and smiled: "You really do business in your store..."
"Ladies rest assured, our craftsmanship is better, and you will be more satisfied when you come to pick up the clothes in two days!" Liu Qiqiao laughed.
Liu Qiqiao watched them go to the cabinet to hand in the silver. She was happy in her heart. When she turned around, she saw Shen Yuyuan walking in. Shen Yuyuan was wearing a black robe. She didn't see him for a long time, but saw his sweat. When Liu Qiqiao arrived, he said, "Seventh brother, can you still handle it?"
Liu Qiqiao nodded, secretly pointed at the two girls who were negotiating with the master, and whispered: "It's opened, two skirts, I'm great!"
Shen Yuyuan nodded and said honestly: "The seventh brother is indeed amazing!"
Liu Qiqiao smiled, just about to say something, when she saw someone coming in again, she hurriedly went over to greet her.
At the end of the day, Liu Qiqiao felt that his mouth was about to laugh stiffly. There were not many people, but customers continued to come one after another. Liu Qiqiao was uneasy. He kept looking at the store in front of him. The transaction volume was not large, but he was not all disappointed because he was mentally prepared.
I don’t want to have many more customers coming the next day. It turns out that the new store here has good-looking gadgets to give away. There are more cloths and more made clothes in the new store here. some.
In the evening, the store was about to be closed, but two people in their thirties, who looked like housekeepers, arrived.
Liu Qiqiao heard that someone had come, and when she saw it, she felt that she must be the main customer, so she hurriedly walked over.
One of the two well-dressed men said straightforwardly: "We originally went to Yuluofang, but they have lived too much recently and can't do it. Boss Yuan recommended you here!"
"Yuan Qiluo?" Liu Qiqiao asked in surprise.
The man nodded, and said to Liu Qiqiao: "We are from Master Liu's mansion. We are going to make some clothes for people in autumn..."
Liu Qiqiao was delighted, this is a big deal, she greeted the two people enthusiastically, and thanked Yuan Qiluo in her heart.
In the evening, Liu Qiqiao happily called Shen Yuyuan and showed him the banknote in his hand.
"So much?" Shen Yuyuan's eyes widened in surprise: "This is all from Silk Village?"
Liu Qiqiao deliberately slapped the two silver notes of one hundred silver taels on the palms of his hands and slapped them, "Yes, great, haha, two hundred taels, still a deposit, 30 pieces of autumn clothes for the next person , And a few summer dresses. They are good-looking for watching our pictures and ordered for their mothers-in-law. I said those pictures would be useful, hahaha... "She was really happy, a feeling of being affirmed, which made her feel I am really good.
Shen Yuyuan really bowed his hand to Liu Qiqiao, and made the first series: "Seventh brother, second brother really admire!"
Liu Qiqiao hurriedly pulled him up, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I have a new idea again, or did these two butlers give me this idea. They asked me if I have shoes? I think we You can really make shoes and sell them. The leftover materials for making clothes are enough. No, brother, you have to recruit some people for me. I want to embroider well, and the ones from the Zhuangzi will do. Anyway, it’s not right now. When the farming is busy, who doesn’t want to earn more subsidies for the family? Second brother, you are responsible for returning to Zhuangzi to recruit people. I will post employment notices outside our shop. I have a lot of ideas. Second brother, you don’t know, I In the past two days, I feel so useful. I am so happy to see those people who decided to pay for money because of my introduction. It feels really good..."
Excited Liu Qiqiao said with gestures. In Shen Yuyuan’s eyes, she felt that her whole body was shining. He would not say anything. He only felt that from now on, he would remember Liu Qiqiao’s appearance, "Seventh brother. If you think about it, your second brother will support you. Tomorrow, I will go back to the Zhuangzi. If there is something to do in the wine shop, I have to go back to the Zhuangzi. I will recruit people for you. Don't worry!"
When Shen Yuyuan came back, he really brought Liu Qiqiao seven embroiderers, all of them from Zhuangzi, including young girls and married young women. They all heard that they could earn money here, so they followed Shen Yuyuan. Now, Liu Qiqiao asked them to do some work. She supervised them personally. The craftsmanship is really good. Behind this silk and satin shop is the garment workshop. Liu Qiqiao hired two masters and brought these embroidery Mother, after working hard for more than ten days in the workshop behind, she finally drove Liu's job out of the house. Liu Qiqiao was the last checkpoint to ensure that every piece of clothing had no flaws, and she personally sent it to the house. She also made two pairs of shoes for each housekeeper. She made them personally. They were very comfortable and strong. The two housekeepers were very happy and gave the balance to Liu Qiqiao happily. They also promised future work and handed them over to Shen. Home silk and satin shop to do it.
This is Liu Qiqiao's first major customer.
There are more than ten masters and friends, and now the front and backyard of the Shenjia Silk and Satin Village are very lively. As there are more people, so do all kinds of expenses, and Liu Qiqiao manages more things every day.
Liu Qiqiao was busy with the business in the front store during the day, and at night, she wondered how to expand the business. She also presided over the business of the tavern. When I came to discuss with her, the two of them became more and more in a tacit understanding. Shen Yuyuan never talked much. When Liu Qiqiao was upset, Shen Yuyuan became the object of her confession. It has been more than half a month and Shen Yunong has been in the house. After not showing up again, Shen Yuyuan came back and said that Aunt Zhou's fetus was unstable, and she kept tripping Shen Yunong in the house, preventing him from coming out.
When Liu Qiqiao listened to Shen Yuyuan saying this, she was trying to write the account book. She could barely understand the accounts written by the accountant. She had already recognized the numbers that Shen Yunong taught her. Now I started to learn to write. Shen Yuyuan said that Shen Yunong was caught by Aunt Zhou. It is also possible. After all, Aunt Zhou, Liu Qiqiao, had also experienced her greatness, "Is her fetal shape unstable? That's not good. You Shen family, pay more attention to heirs!"
Shen Yuyuan did not speak. He went back to Zhuangzi these few times and met Shen Yunong several times. Every time he saw that Aunt Zhou with his side, it made him too late to say anything. He just said something serious. She would be interrupted by that Aunt Zhou, especially when Liu Qiqiao was not mentioned. As long as Liu Qiqiao’s name was mentioned, Aunt Zhou would immediately find various excuses to drag Shen Yunong away. It was not that her stomach was uncomfortable. Shen Yuyuan didn't mention it afterwards because he was dizzy. There was nothing serious about it, so Shen Yunong had to decide.
Because Liu Qiqiao did a great job, the wine shop is all her customers. Now, the silk and satin shop is on the right track. It is more lively here. Every day, more than ten people change their shifts to eat. After taking a break from work, I gathered under the tree in the yard to chat. Shen Yuyuan liked to come here more and more to be with Liu Qiqiao and these guys and masters.
Now, Liu Qiqiao can barely fit a few dozen words on a page. She knows that her handwriting has not improved much, and it is easy to read. Now she reads some documents without the help of others, and she is walking down the street. When you go up, you will recognize the word when you see it, and write it down if you don’t know it. Come back and ask someone you know.
But it takes time to write the words well. Shen Yunong is not here. Without the master, she just writes and fumbles.
