After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

The next day, Song Yu came to Qin Yao's house in the afternoon and brought over the last issue's bill of goods from Fulong Trading Company.

After Liu Bai and others returned this time, all the book boxes that needed to be delivered to Fulong Trading Company had been handed over.

Now that the goods have been cleared, the remaining 50% of the balance should be recovered.

As usual, Qin Yao went to Fucheng in person to settle the balance and bring the next order.

But now Song Yu is managing the stationery factory on behalf of Qin Yao, so he came here specifically to inquire and get a charter.

Qin Yao read the letter last night and went to bed a little late. When Song Yu arrived, she had just gotten up and finished brunch. The Dragon Boat Festival sun was shining, and she was too lazy to cheer up.

After listening to Song Yu's report, Qin Yao almost fell asleep with her eyes closed.

"Madam?" Song Yu deliberately raised her voice and shouted.

The man lying on the chair opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to motion for him to take the account book over and take a look.

Song Yu handed the account book and the contract of the previous order to Qin Yao and explained:

"Madam, the order for 5,000 magical book boxes with Fulong Trading Company has been completed, and half of the stationery gift boxes with shopkeeper Baishan have been shipped out. There are still 50,000 pieces left. It is expected to be shipped around March next year. All available for delivery.”

Qin Yao listened and checked the accounts. After confirming that they were correct, she closed the account book and looked up at Song Yu.

Song Yu asked for instructions: "Madam, there is still one thousand taels of silver left in the balance with Fulong Trading Company. Do you still want to go in person this time?"

Qin Yao nodded, "You arrange things in the factory and come with me to Fucheng early tomorrow morning. I will take you to meet people first, and you will do it yourself next time."

Song Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly responded.

This means that he has passed the one-month assessment period and has officially been approved by his wife.

It's better to choose the right day than to hit it. Song Yu took advantage of the situation and mentioned the new product that Qiao Yun, the manager, and other workers worked together to develop this month.

This was originally prepared for him to pass the exam, but he didn't expect that he passed the exam more smoothly than expected.

Qin Yao knew that Yun Niang was developing new products. It was precisely because she knew about this that she happily asked Song Yu to become a full-time employee in advance.

But she really didn't know the results of the research, so she set off immediately and followed Song Yu to the stationery factory with some expectations.

In order for Yun Niang to study hard, Song Yu specially allocated a small room for her.

In the hut, there are complete tools and all kinds of wood. It is completely decorated like a research and development workshop. It makes Qin Yao, a person who cannot do carpentry, feel itchy.

Yun Niang did not rest after lunch. As soon as her rice bowl was put away, she returned to the new product research and development workshop and took the new products that had been made before to do the final coloring.

Qin Yao and Song Yu arrived suddenly, and the focused Yun Niang was so shocked that she jumped up when Song Yu called out softly.

Looking back, he saw the person coming, showing an angry look, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yao walked in and pointed to the box on the table in front of Yun Niang, "Let me take a look."

Yun Niang nodded and explained with some embarrassment: "When I touch these things, I can't think of anything else. Whenever there is any sound, I will be startled. Mr. Qin, don't laugh at me."

Qin Yao shook her head and said she didn't know how, but she still couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

What Yun Niang made is still a box, which is very similar to the style of the Shenli book box, but the Shenli book box is upright and has wheels. This new box is horizontal, and does not have pull bars or wheels, only handles. . The entire box seemed to be as big as a 16-inch suitcase. The wooden handle was polished smooth and round. Qin Yao lifted it gently. The box was unexpectedly light.

Yun Niang smiled, took the box and put it on the table, and explained it to Qin Yao.

She made a box that can be used to store luggage, and unlike ordinary wooden boxes, it does not open and close with hinges, but with a pull-out lid.

The lid of this box is the same as the one on the Shenli Book Box.

The wooden box does not open in half from the middle, but has a partition in the middle, and the left and right sides slide open.

Yun Niang said: "This way there are two partitions where different things can be placed. On one side I used waterproof oil paper as the base, and on the other side it was ordinary wood. The whole box was coated with waterproof paint. Even without oil paper, it would not be easy. Wet what’s inside.”

"There is also a buckle for closing the lid. I use a machine lock. When you close it, you can push the Huarong Road on it to lock the box. No one except the owner himself knows the correct way to open the lock. If you place valuables , and you don’t have to worry about being stolen easily.”

The more Yun Niang talked, the more excited she became. She also showed Qin Yao the multi-layered compartment bag she had specially sewn by a female worker. The bag was glued to the wooden box and could be used to hold many fragile objects, such as tea sets, tableware, and ladies’ expensive items. Women often need rouge gouache.

The most important thing is that this box also has a palm-sized round bronze mirror embedded in it!

Qin Yaoxin said, isn't this a combination of a modern password suitcase and a ladies' portable cosmetic case?

Take another look at the embossed peach blossom pattern on this suitcase, as well as the carefully applied pink and white paint. It is so exquisite that it makes your heart flutter.

Yun Niang touched the pink and white peach blossoms, with gentle eyes and sweet smile, "The noble ladies in Kyoto ride horses and parade through the streets, free and easy, which is really enviable."

"So I thought, since men have magical bookcases, can women also have a lightweight suitcase that can hold their favorite personal belongings?"

Yun Niang raised her eyes to look at Qin Yao, her eyes burning, "I named it the Lady's Box."

Qin Yao couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it expensive?"

Yun Niang nodded. It was indeed expensive, but it was lower than the Shenli Bookcase because it used less wood and the bronze mirror inside was removable. She would leave a slot for women who could afford the bronze mirror to Install it.

Qin Yao picked up the lady's box and walked in the courtyard outside the house for a while, but because she was too strong, she couldn't feel anything.

I waved my hand and asked Yun Niang’s apprentice Yang Fang to come and try.

"Put some commonly used items in it and lift it up to see how long it can go and whether it is convenient for movement." Qin Yao instructed.

Although she didn't know why she gave such an order, Yang Fang chose to obey it without thinking. Manager Qin must have her reasons for giving such an order.

Yun Niang and Yang Fang found a lot of things to put in them. Yun Niang measured the capacity herself. It can hold some basic personal items and two more pairs of personal clothes, shoes and socks.

The box was stuffed until it couldn't fit, the sliding cover was closed and fastened using the mechanism code, and Yang Fang picked it up again.

She had learned hunting from her family since she was a child. She was stronger than an ordinary woman. She lifted the wooden box suddenly and her shoulders felt heavy. But she quickly stabilized and began to move around freely in the yard.

Seeing this, Qin Yao called a few more petite female workers, and they were able to lift the full lady box. Although it was a bit heavy, it was no problem to carry it for more than half an hour.

And this is the weight under extreme circumstances. Ordinary tea sets, tableware or rouge and gouache boxes will not be so heavy.

In this way, Qin Yao immediately asked Yun Niang to write down the cost details into a list and give it to her. Tomorrow she would take this lady's box with her to Fucheng.

Maybe when I come back this time, I can bring back new orders.
