Chapter 442 Talking About Feelings Hurts Money
"Aru, you're here!" As soon as Shen Ru appeared, Qian stepped forward and pulled her over. "Aru, Ping'er is gone, I am both a father and a mother, raising Feng'er. I also have to run an embroidery workshop, and there are so many embroiderers waiting for my second aunt to get paid!"

Shen Ru didn't know why and looked at Bai Qianqian with a frown.

"Shen Ru, shopkeeper Qian feels that it is unfair that double-sided embroidery can only be sold in the shop and not in her embroidery workshop; also, she feels that for 20 taels of embroidery, she received ten taels less, and she still drags The unfinished embroidery list." Bai Qianqian said directly.

Shen Ru broke away from Qian's hand, looked at Qian and said, "Second Aunt, this won't work!"

"Aru, but this is unfair!" Qian said sarcastically: "You are not short of money, but I have to rely on the embroidery workshop to live. Aru, can't you change it? There are many people in your shop, and You already have money, if you make less...it won’t affect you!”

Shen Ru raised an eyebrow at this tune. How could it be so similar to Shen Ping's before?

"Second Aunt, you can't say that. Who said we make a lot of money? Look at the cotton pads we sell for two cents each. It's just small profits but quick turnover. If you say it's hard, our shopkeeper Bai, hey , you also know how difficult it is for her to make it to Liangzhou alive. Besides, the perilla and lotus flowers in the store are all refugees, so they are very difficult!"

Shen Ru sighed: "Second Aunt, before Shen Ping left, she gave you all of her private treasury. There is also an embroidery workshop. Second Aunt, you and Shen Feng are living well!"

Qian's fawning face was a little embarrassed, and then she said weakly: "Aru, stop joking, but this contract is too unreasonable, my embroiderers have all said it!"

"Second Aunt, the embroiderers are paid two taels of silver a month, and the embroidery is sold at a high price. You won't pay them more, right?" Shen Ru said mercilessly.

Qian's face froze, and then he blurted out: "I taught them their techniques!"

"I also taught you the technique of double-sided embroidery!" Bai Qianqian said aside, why is this person so double-sided?
"This...this..." Qian said weakly: "Aru, we are a family, can't we be accommodating?"

"Second Aunt, if you open a shop and do business, is it a place where you talk about relationships? Talking about relationships hurts money!" Shen Ru said with a smile, "A contract is a contract. Daily embroidery in your embroidery workshop can be sold for two to three taels. "Double-sided embroidery, no matter how much our shop sells it, if we give you half of the money, we are really very generous."

"That's not the case. The fabrics and threads used in double-sided embroidery are all expensive!" Qian explained: "Not all embroiderers can embroider. In the embroidery workshop, apart from me, there are only two experienced embroiders. Mom can embroider!"

"Aru, you are now the governor's wife, and you are well-dressed and well-fed. You really don't know the hardships of our craftsmen. If you refuse to give in, I... I'm afraid I will have to close the embroidery workshop! You simply can't make ends meet! "

"Then when the orders on hand are completed, we can close it!" Shen Ru said calmly, "I have always heard that my second aunt's eyesight is not good at embroidery, so she just closed the shop and found other jobs to make a living! "

"You..." Qian was speechless and looked at Shen Ru with Youyuan: "Aru, Ping'er said something bad about you before, and I tried to persuade her. It turns out that you are really ungrateful!"

"Second Aunt, instead of talking about this here, it's better to complete the order at hand first, and then talk about the breach of contract later."

Shen Ru said with a smile, not intending to back down.

Qian was so angry that her face turned red and white, but she still managed not to get angry and looked at Shen Ru with resentment.

"Aru, you can't bully people like this."

"Second Aunt, I didn't bully you. In business, the spirit of contract is important. If you don't believe it, go to the Yamen to talk. It's written in black and white with fingerprints. It's not to fool people."

Shen Ru was also nice and said merciless words. In the past, helping was a matter of affection, not duty!

Qian left angrily without getting any advantage.

"Shen Ru, it seems that I have to change my embroidery studio." Bai Qianqian said in annoyance, "I used to think that your second aunt was also a noblewoman from the capital, and this embroidery technique was also carefully cultivated, but I didn't expect... "Second aunt, in the past, under the hands of Feng's... well, my grandfather's Xu Xian, I was always angry, and my temper was not very tough. Before, I was a bit tougher for Shen Ping and Shen Feng, but now... hey, Not to mention this, if you want to change the embroidery workshop, then go ahead and I will pay for it."

"Where's the embroiderer? If we look for another embroiderer, the quality will vary. I don't know how long it will take before I can become an embroiderer!" Bai Qianqian said distressedly, "Don't I still have to work as a storyteller in the shop to settle accounts and collect money? I opened an embroidery workshop. I can’t handle both.”

"Well, then you think about it yourself, and let me know when you come up with a good idea." Shen Ru looked at Bai Qianqian with a smile, "But if you argue with reason in front of my second aunt, Bai Qianqian, you are very good!"

"If it weren't for your second aunt, I...I would have asked Sister Liu to send her to the government directly!" Bai Qianqian said: "Well, let me see if there is an embroiderer there first, Shen Ru, isn't the courtyard behind you empty? It is said that the back is an embroidery workshop, and the front of us is the shop, so..."

Bai Qianqian's mind is spinning very fast!Shen Ru nodded, "It's up to you!"

Bai Qianqian kept her promise and immediately posted a notice recruiting embroidery girls at the door of the store.

Shen Ru stayed in the shop for a while and took stock of the store's inventory with Bai Qianqian.

"Do you think it's time to buy some goods here again?" Shen Ru asked.

"The cotton pads are selling out very quickly, because the new one is a penny more expensive, and the original one sells better..." Bai Qianqian told Shen Ru in detail about the sales situation of the cotton pads in the shop.

Shen Ru always felt that she was right, Bai Qianqian was indeed very suitable to be the shopkeeper.

In other words, based on the training Bai Qianqian received in the past, she can be excellent at anything she does!
While the two were talking, Yan Zhenshan walked into the shop with the maid.

"Hey, you are a rare visitor, Miss Yan!" Shen Ru raised his eyes and saw Yan Zhenshan. He felt that the visitor was not kind, but he still said.

"Shen Ru, your shop makes better cotton pads. I underestimated you!" Yan Zhenshan had a sense of superiority in his words.

Shen Ru looked at Yan Zhenshan quietly. She didn't believe that Yan Zhenshan came all the way to praise her!

"Then...are Miss Yan Er here to buy cotton pads? No, you can't use them now!"

"Humph!" Yan Zhenshan just chuckled and walked towards the back with disdain.

Buy underwear?During pregnancy, it would be better to be more relaxed. Shen Ru might as well go and receive Yan Zhenshan by herself.

"Didn't you say that there are some new styles in your shop? They all look ordinary to me." Yan Zhenshan's eyes were filled with disgust.

The new style was sent to a brothel, how did Yan Zhenshan know?

"There is indeed none in the shop. If Miss Yan Er comes here for this reason, I'm afraid she will be disappointed!"

Is it possible that Yan Zhenshan still had so much fun during her pregnancy?

Yan Zhenshan walked around in a circle, sneered a few times, and left. Shen Ru was a little confused, but she saw that Yan Zhenshan stared at the notice calling for embroiderers at the door a few more times.
