The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 95 Request
The house in the weaving workshop was built and almost dry, and it was ready to be moved in. Together, we moved all the large machines into the house, packed them up, and prepared to weave and embroider inside.

The new house and new things made everyone move around excitedly.

Xiuniang looked back and forth around the house, feeling uncontrollably happy. She had built it hand in hand with the whole village. She felt happier and had a sense of accomplishment than any previous success.

In Lijia Village, she felt respected, loved, united and protected, which allowed her to integrate here very quickly, and she felt at ease living in the village.

"Xiu'er, do we still have class in the afternoon?"

Fourth Grandma and the others came to ask Xiuniang.

In the afternoon, we will give everyone a brocade and embroidery class. Everyone will also have to copy familiar patterns, which will be useful for embroidery and weaving.

Usually Xiuniang, Qing'er and others finish the drawing, and each of them makes a copy and takes it home to keep.

"Come on, let's learn other tricks today."

"it is good."

The fourth grandma looked at the large and small looms in the room and smiled happily, "Xiu'er, you are the one among the women."

She held out her thumb with a serious and admiring expression.

"Fourth Grandma, if you didn't love me, I wouldn't be able to reach this point."

"We can finally understand how good it is to have a good wife. From now on, the family education will be left to you. It's a great punishment. No one will ask a question."

The Fourth Grandma sincerely admires Xiu Niang’s talent.

In the afternoon, Qing'er and the girls drew patterns and gave some to the illiterate aunts to take back for embroidery and weaving.

Yingzi is settling accounts, and the money for embroidery and weaving will be paid to everyone this month.

Although we have just moved into the workshop, the rules have been established for a long time. Everyone abides by the rules. They get paid monthly, sign, draw, and fingerprint. Everything is recorded clearly and everything is in order.

Other girls and boys in the clan school who are willing to learn come to work, earn some pocket money, and learn crafts. They have a very serious attitude and are not afraid of hardship and suffering. They don't need to ask for help, they just find work themselves. It is a clan's workshop, not an individual's. The money earned is shared by the whole village. Everyone is aware of it and works proactively.

There are several large water tanks placed around the entrance of the workshop, and the bowls of lotus are raised not for beauty, but for fire prevention.

"Grandma, aunts, you have received your money. The money will come out this month."

Yingzi greets everyone.

"Okay, you can shout."

The aunts are constantly working, and the more they work, the more money they will get.

Yingzi checked everyone's accounts one by one, gave money, and received money by fingerprinting.

"This month there are generally more goods than last month. Yun brocade is selling well, embroidery is also good, fans and handkerchiefs are selling well, but there is still a shortage of high-quality goods."

Yingzi told everyone which goods are easy to sell and which are not easy to sell. You should be aware of them and make less of the goods that are not easy to sell.

"Okay, I got it. It's time to change the pattern. Sisters, let's discuss changing the pattern this afternoon."

Keeping the same pattern will not succeed. Customers will like it if they change patterns frequently. There is some choice. What this woman's business wants is to be dazzled and renovated.

"okay."

"The girls are starting to make clothes. Make them attractive and your Uncle Yan will sell them in the store."

"understood."

"The best one this month is Aunt Seven. Yunjin has sold several pieces of cloth. Aunt Seven can get two taels of silver."

"Wow, you're the tallest."

The other aunts were extremely envious.

"If you don't work hard to learn, of course you won't have the money. Xiu Niang teaches so carefully, I just have to hold your hand to teach."

"Then we are stupid and slow to learn."

“Study hard and don’t delay making money.”

"Okay." Everyone said something jokingly to each other.

Xiu Niang taught everyone how to weave tapestry and embroidery. With her selfless help, everyone improved quickly, and now they can get money to go home every month.

Women can make money on their own, and their waists have become stronger, and their lives have become smoother. Now women in the village respect Xiu Niang the most, teaching their children to help them, and helping them make money and live a good life step by step. They know this better than men. The weight of kindness.

Li Qing took a boat to the capital, and Xiu Niang brought some clothes and shoes for the child, as well as some gifts and supplements for his sister-in-law, brother, brother, and parents.

I didn't forget to bring some gifts to Li Hengyue's family, no matter how I said it, it was a thoughtful gesture.

Summer is almost here, and today Li Yan came over with the steward of the embroidery shop.

"This is Manager Qi. My sister-in-law, your paintings have been sold at his house."

"Hello, Manager Qi."

"You're welcome. I have something to ask you today."

"You say."

"That's right, I have a problem and I want to ask you for help. Look..."

The steward took out a small Kang screen, which was a tapestry painting. It was quite beautiful, but it was a pity that it had a hole in it.

"Ouch! There's a hole. It can't be repaired."

The tapestry cannot be repaired, it is finished.

"I know, I want you to knit a pair of the same one. Let me tell you the truth. This is a good product that I want to send to the capital before next summer. However, a child at home accidentally knocked over the candlestick and burned a hole in it. , it’s over. I have told the owner that this goods will be delivered before summer and June. The owner has already made an agreement with the customer. What should I do? You must help me, otherwise my whole family will That’s troublesome.”

"Where is the original tapestry weaver?"

"This is the goods that were collected. The man has died a long time ago. I can't think of anyone who can help me. Please help me. I will come to your weaving workshop to collect the goods. We will make money at both ends. I won't let you Baigan, how about this picture of 1000 taels?"

Manager Qi was driven crazy. The time was too short and there was no one in the city who could weave such good paintings. He had no choice but to look for Li Yan.

"Okay, let me try it for you. Time is too tight. Fortunately, the thing is not big, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do anything."

Xiu Niang put the things in her hands and gestured about the size and specifications, and she knew it in her heart. The pattern was a noble and elegant plum blossom and snow scene, which highlighted the elegance and pride. The thing was not difficult at all, and it was a very beautiful wintersweet picture.

"Okay, I'll take it."

"Thank you so much."

Manager Qi kept bowing to her and gave her 1000 taels of silver on the spot. He paid the full amount to express his sincerity.

"Qi Guanshi, don't worry, I will do what I promised you, and I won't let you fail, but there is a condition."

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Manager Qi felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what conditions she wanted to put forward. It was easy to talk about money.

"My children have become famous, so I won't sell tapestry paintings anymore. I'm afraid it will affect my children's reputation. Don't you tell the master that I knitted the pictures for you? Keep this a secret. My brother-in-law is also a capital official. I don't want to give it to him." Holding him back and letting people gossip about him behind his back."

Xiu Niang returned the gift respectfully.

Manager Qi couldn't help but show respect and quickly returned the greeting, "Don't worry, I can't embarrass you."

"That's good, thank you. Don't worry, go back. I will definitely take care of this for you."

"Thank you so much, Brother Yan, I'll take care of our cooperation."

Guanshi Qi and Li Yan have reached a cooperation. From now on, Guanshi Qi will collect the things from the weaving workshop, so there will be a fixed channel.

"Thank you very much."

"I'm leaving now, see you later."

Qi Guanshi felt relieved.
