The lady is busy farming

Chapter 195 Add another person

Qiangwei looked at his occasional flashes of light and smiled, "Three years is enough to see through a person. After the deposit is refunded, what remains between us is reputation. Doesn't Jiang Dong's family take reputation seriously? "

"Reputation is the first rule that our businessmen must abide by. Merchants without reputation will not go far." Jiang Qiubai was stunned. He didn't expect that a little girl could talk to him about business.

"Since that's the case, why does Jiang Dong's family have any scruples? Besides, this document is going to the government office for filing." Qiangwei knew that he still had doubts about her family, but no matter what, she would rather find another family because no deposit was charged for the first cooperation. .

Seeing how confident he is, Jiang Qiubai doesn't care whether he wants to sign a contract, "Isn't Miss Zheng how much stock? I want to sign a contract, and I always have to stock up. You know how many silk and satin shops we still have in Wenzhu County. of."

"Don't worry about Jiang Dong's family. The process of making down cloaks is cumbersome. We are already rushing to make them. You can take as many as you have right now. Later, I will make an album. The styles and colors will be displayed on it, so that customers Self-selection, this is the order system. If the customer has special requirements, such as she asks us to customize it, she can also accept the order, as long as the delivery is within the specified time, but if it is customized, the price must be higher. "

Qiangwei looked at Jiang Qiubai with a smile on her face, resisting the urge to roll her eyes in her heart, and explained patiently.

"Okay, that's it. Then let's talk about the cloth that Ms. Zheng needs, please see." After finishing speaking, Jiang Qiubai also took the document from the shopkeeper and handed it to Qiangwei.

After receiving the documents, Qiangwei twitched her mouth, "I will accept the brocade at four taels of silver, but this yarn is a bit expensive at four taels, and besides, we hardly need yarn like this for our cloaks."

This kind of transparent veil can only be used as a decoration. If it is used as the surface of a cloak, it is estimated that there will be a whole body of duck feathers.

"No need? This is the light gauze and silk tapestry that is popular at the moment. This is in Shangjing, but it is a favorite of those wives and girls." Jiang Qiubai did an investigation, and he knew that this family was an out-and-out peasant family. He traveled far away, but he didn't lie, at present, this kind of yarn forging and Kesi is the favorite of wives of those aristocratic families.

Qiangwei stroked her sleeves, and smiled lightly, "This kind of yarn is good for forging, and it is not impossible to make a cloak, but the procedure is more troublesome, after all, it is light and thin, but the price of the finished product will increase accordingly."

For a small sample, if you dare to raise the price for the old lady, the wool will be sold to the sheep, and the final product will still be given to you.

Jiang Qiubai looked at Qiangwei speechlessly. This girl's prospects are limitless when she grows up. If so, just greet the shopkeeper directly."

Jiang Qiubai also understands that all the aristocratic families who make cloth know that this kind of Kesi is actually easy to make, and its main function is just an external decoration. Many, on the contrary, because rare things are more expensive, the price has always been good, but the sales volume is not too high.

After signing the document with each other, Qiangwei and Zheng Maocheng took Jiang Qiubai's carriage to the county government office for filing, and the document came into force.

Because Mrs. Li hasn't stopped since he came back that day, he rushed to make a batch of thin cloaks.There are fifteen cloaks in total, plus the one left over from last time, exactly sixteen cloaks, all of which can be worn right now.

The deposit of 1000 taels plus the purchase price of 880 taels of bank note was put into Qiangwei's pocket again.Seeing the increase in the number on the account, Qiangwei squinted her eyes and laughed, her family will definitely get better and better.

However, there are still not many embroiderers in her family, and the output cannot keep up. After discussing with Mrs. Li, it would be more cost-effective to hire a few more embroiderers, but there are no more embroiderers in the village.

In the end, the family made up their minds and went to Renyazi to buy a few more. It was safe and convenient, and besides, her family is not short of money now.Adding a few girls and women can also reduce Li's burden.

After making a plan, Zheng Maocheng and Qiangwei went to the town together to find Zhao Yaji to explain their intentions. They wanted to pick a few girls who could embroider, and Zhao Yaji immediately led them to the yard dedicated to housing women.

"As far as I know, every girl and woman can do embroidery, but it's a girl's sharp eyes to argue whether it's good or bad." Zhao Yaji pointed to this yard as he said, "All the female relatives I have handled are in this yard." The courtyard is set up, let's go in and have a look."

Qiangwei walked into the yard and looked at the busy women in the yard, wasn't she waiting to be sold?How could they be so busy, it looked like a workshop, Qiangwei looked at Zhao Yayi puzzled, "Look at them all looking busy."

"Well, it's like this. There are a lot of people coming and going in and out of our place every day, and the food and clothing costs a lot. We always have to find something to do for them. It's not easy for us to do dental work. It can reduce the burden to some extent. .” Zhao Yajia did not hide anything, and directly explained the meaning.

Qiangwei nodded, "It's a good way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

"I made the girl laugh." Zhao Yajia is a rough man, he only thinks about not doing business at a loss, and he doesn't care what it means.

"Girl, do you want to go in and have a look, or should I call them all out for you to pick?" Zhao Yaqi asked Zheng Maocheng and his daughter, but his eyes were on Qiangwei's position. In their business, the most important thing is the value of eyesight.

He has also seen it a long time ago, regardless of the young girl's age, she is the master of the house.

"No need to call, let's see for ourselves, and we can pick a few capable ones." Said Qiangwei, and turned around the yard. Those women and women saw a little girl coming in, their colors brightened, but they saw her clothes. , The enthusiasm just now is gone.

It doesn't look like a girl from a rich family, and she has to pick her own, so her family background is probably not that good.Some people lost their minds and turned around to do the work around them.

Qiangwei looked at them one by one, raised the corners of her mouth, you pick people, people also pick you, after looking around, two women and a woman in her 30s fell into Qiangwei's eyes, she just wanted Zhao The dentist called someone over to ask questions, but was interrupted by a sharp voice.

"You damn girl, why did you overturn the bucket again? Do you know how to work? Go, fetch water again."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm going to fetch water now."

Hearing the voice, Qiangwei looked over and saw a woman in her thirties and 40s was lecturing a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. It is estimated that the girl was used to it, she lowered her head and did not resist, and went to the well with a bucket in her hand. go.

"Really, I'm like Lin Daiyu every day. Unfortunately, I don't have that life. I still have to serve others." The woman curled her lips, flicked her handkerchief, turned her head and walked away. Stop and go.

Qiangwei came to the place where the little girl knocked over the bucket just now, lowered her head and picked up a handkerchief, and saw a cluster of reed flowers embroidered on it, as if it could be swayed by the wind.Looking at her desperately pulling the rope of the well, but her strength is limited, she can't lift it no matter what, her face is blushing.

"That kind of physical work is not something you should do, let it go." Qiangwei walked over and handed her the handkerchief, "Did you embroider this?"

"Ah? Yes, I embroidered it." The little girl was startled, and the rope in her hand came off, and with a plop, the bucket fell to the bottom of the well again.Seeing the annoyed look on the little girl's face, Qiangwei was happy.

"Are you willing to come with me? I promise you won't be allowed to do such heavy work, as long as you embroider." After finishing speaking, Qiangwei despised herself, was she abducting others?
"Follow you? Where are you going?" The little girl was confused, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Qiangwei warily, "I'm not selling myself."

"Pfft, why do I want you to sell yourself? You think too much, my family needs a embroiderer and a girl, you can choose one." Qiangwei's face darkened, did she look like a bad person?
"To be an embroiderer? To be a maid? I can choose." The little girl asked uncertainly, would such a good thing happen?

"Yes, you can choose the one you like," Qiangwei reconfirmed. "First of all, let me declare that my family is a simple farmer, not as rich and powerful as you imagined, so you have to be mentally prepared." Vaccinations also need to be given in advance.

"That's it, okay, I agree, I'll be an embroiderer." After thinking about it, the little girl's eyes lit up, maybe it was a chance.

"Okay, now that you've decided, come with me." Qiangwei also took the ink, and brought the little girl to Zhao Yaji's side, pointing to the women and the woman she liked.

"Wait a minute, girl, I'll call for you right away." After Zhao Yaji finished speaking, he walked up to those people, "You three, come with me, you are lucky, someone has taken a fancy to you."

The three of them looked at each other, stopped what they were doing, and followed Zhao Yaju to Qiangwei's father and daughter. After seeing the ceremony, they stepped aside and waited for a reply. Only when they first came, they looked up and kept looking down. head.

"What's your name, why did you come to the dental shop?" Qiangwei asked softly.

A woman stood up and hesitated, "The old slave used to work in a member's family. Later, they sold me out when they wanted to move their family. People call me Mrs. Ma."

"My husband's family name is Yang. Because the family has no one, he was sold by my nephew. The girl can call me Mrs. Yang." Mrs. Yang said with a bitter expression on her face. She would end up having no children in her life, but in the end she was sold by her nephew. .

"Back to the girl, the little lady came here on the run. The boys and children all died of illness on the way, and I was the only one left. I had no choice but to sell myself and come to the dental clinic. My natal family does alms. Girls can call me Mrs. Shi."
