Seeing Zhuang Shuqing coming, the two stopped talking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"So much?"
"These days, I have been painting one after another, and the ones below are the first to be painted, and the skills are a little rusty, Sister Weaving to see if she can use it."
Weaver Niang carefully flipped through one by one, and there was nothing on it, but when she got to the back, she picked out a few and put them in one, "These few are not good." ”
Zhuang Shuqing picked it up and looked at it, and had a bottom in her heart.
"I know a lot of embroidery girls, it's not difficult to sell these, but I don't recommend that you sell them like selling to me, not to mention whether they can happily take out so much silver at one time, that is, they can take it out, you shoot so much at a time They will inevitably lower the price, which is equivalent to you competing with yourself, the loss is still your own, Xiucai sells tricks to make a living, in order to buy a few more books, but they are readers, the first thing to do is to read, and it may be enough to sell a piece a month, So the price of the pattern has not come down, although you are above the level, but after all, if you sell too much, the price will inevitably be pulled down, and it is not so easy to go back in the future. ”
Yes, she was too short-sighted, and she only thought about making more money to redeem the jade pendant, but she forgot that a market has its rules.
Zhuang Shuqing solemnly bowed to Zhiniang, "Thank you, Sister Zhi, for telling me frankly, I was too anxious." ”
Weaver Niang helped her up and smiled softly, "You don't think I'm too talkative, if you have the opportunity, you might as well contact with the embroidery village, if you can be looked at by them, the money will be stable." ”
Zhuang Shuqing's heart moved, and he had a vague idea, which would not have time to think about it, but said: "I am unfamiliar with my skills, how can I see Xiuzhuang." ”
In fact, as soon as the words came out of the weaver Niang, she regretted it, she was an embroidery girl who worked alone, and the sales were not as good as the embroidery village, there were excellent patterns, and then with a good hand of craftsmanship to kill a bloody road, if the embroidery village could also get the same excellent patterns as her, that is not self-defeating?
Hearing Zhuang Shuqing say this, she naturally won't persuade again, but I just wish that she wouldn't open that trick all the time.
"The large patterns on the market have been very scarce, you don't have to be careful on this, and the price is much higher, the highest price currently sold is one hundred taels, an eight-page screen, I was fortunate to see the screen that was made later, that is really the most beautiful screen I have ever seen in my life, that is, your things can't be sold at that price, ten taels and twenty taels are also good, but the quantity also needs to be controlled, don't wash the market."
"I made a note of it, thank you Sister Weaving for reminding me." Zhuang Shuqing thanked her sincerely, before, she still thought too simply.
As soon as he entered the account, Zhuang Shuqing generously cut two catties of meat, bought another fish, and personally cooked a table of dishes.
Because there are guests, Zhuang Shuhan is a meal in the house.
Three women at a table, Zhuang Shuqing is a mature soul inside, and her emotional intelligence is not low, but they also talk very happily.
The next day, when the weaver girl sent the silver, she also brought three people, all of whom were embroiderers.
Zhuang Shuqing learned to be obedient, and only took out a total of ten patterns for them to share, with the weaver girl here, the price was fair, and said that she would often come to her to buy it in the future.
Remembering that Zhang Xiuer is widowed, Shuhan also has to do learning, and it is always not good for people to come and go, Zhuang Shuqing simply set the eighth, eighteenth, and twenty-eighth of each month to do this business.
That way, she would have some time to think about something else.
Zhang Xiu'er watched her run out every day, endured it for a few days, and finally didn't hold back, and waited until someone came back to hold her and persuade: "I know you are in a hurry to find relatives, but this matter is not in a hurry, you have now reached the age of discussing relatives, you should pay more attention to this matter, don't run out all day long, Huiyuan City is so big, it is not good for you to be looked at in the eyes of others." ”
Since the weaver girl came that day, Zhuang Shuqing had a thought in his heart.
Doctor, she can't do it, but in this era when a cold can kill people, she doesn't want to give up completely, at least in the future, when Shuhan has something in case, she won't be at a loss because she is unprepared, she can't do medicine, but she has to be able to save people at critical moments.
Therefore, when she has to prepare quietly for the operation, to make something that can be used, it must not be enough for a little silver, and it will be a large amount of expenses to study in the future, as well as their daily expenses, and the jade pendant to be redeemed, where and where money is needed.
Originally, she thought that drawing patterns could solve these problems for her, and she planned to stay in peace for two years first, but Weaver Niang's words cut off her thoughts.
She must have to find another way to make money.
She already had some ideas in her mind about this path.
She doesn't worry about not having fresh patterns, and selling them will hurt the market, so what if she invites a few embroidery girls to make her own finished products?
In the past few days, she has not done anything else when she goes outside, just to watch the market in the East and West Market, and at the same time she is looking for a shop.
She knows that there are some things that she has to put into action when she has an idea, and those who are afraid of wolves and tigers will only be unable to do anything.
Even if this step is unsuccessful, she can afford to lose it, and at most she will think of another way at that time.
has lived for nearly thirty years in modern times, and she is from that background, she is used to it, and she is used to making her own decisions about everything, but she forgets that there is someone who will worry about her now.
This woman may be weak, maybe not responsible, maybe she has the intention of using their sister and brother to relieve their loneliness, but she is sincere in her concern for Shuhan, and she originally planned to wait for the shop to open and ask her to be an embroiderer, so she will no longer hide it at this time.
"Sister Xiu'er, I plan to open a shop."
Zhang Xiu'er was stunned, "You didn't go out to look for relatives, but to look at the store?" ”
"Looking for relatives may not be able to find, but I have to think more about Shuhan, he must go to school in the future, there must be a place to spend money, I can draw patterns, and then ask the embroidery girl to make finished products to sell in the shop, it is better than a single selling patterns."
"But you can earn a lot of money a month by selling tricks, and if you roughly calculate, you can have two or three hundred taels a year, which is already beyond the reach of many people."
The income she earned in a year was only enough for her to redeem the jade pendant, how could she be satisfied, Shuhan was getting older and older year by year, and she couldn't afford to drag it out, but she couldn't say these to this kind and timid woman who was content with the status quo, so she had to say vaguely: "I have a place where I need to spend a lot of money, and this money is not enough." ”
Zhang Xiu'er was a little panicked, she didn't know what needed to spend a lot of money, she was worried that Shuqing would have a bad reputation before that and ruin her life.
"Sister Xiu'er, don't worry, I didn't plan to discuss marriage, my mother has only been a year, and I still need to keep filial piety for two years, and I can't rush this matter now."
Zhang Xiuer suddenly, yes, the two sisters and brothers have always been dressed plainly, she only thought that the two of them were short of money and did not buy new clothes, but they were still in the filial piety period.
I didn't know how to persuade her, and I didn't want her to continue to run outside, Zhang Xiu'er sighed and said, "Have you forgotten what my brother did?" If you want to find a shop and ask him, even if he doesn't have it at hand, you can also help inquire, I will call him to come tomorrow, don't go out. ”
Zhuang Shuqing smiled brightly, "Okay." ”
The next morning, Zhang Shucheng came over, still carrying a jar in his hand.
"Mother's pickles, let me bring you a jar."
Zhang Xiu'er took it, her face was full of joy, "I forgot that it's time for pickles, I like to eat my mother's cooking, little brother, you sit, I'll pour you tea." ”
Seeing that his sister was busy with work, Zhang Shucheng asked, "Others help me watch the stage, I need to go back quickly, sister, why did you call me over?" ”
"I was looking for you." Zhuang Shuqing came in from outside, called Sister Xiu'er and sat down on the side, "I want to rent a shop, Sister Xiu'er feels sorry for me and doesn't want me to run outside, so I called you, Brother Lao will go this trip." ”
Zhang Shucheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to do business?" ”
"Well, that's the plan."
"How old are you? How old is your brother? Even if you have the capital in your hand, what can you do to buy and sell? Even if you do, and someone trusts you and is willing to buy you? ”
"I did it, not my brother." Zhuang Shuqing corrected him and said, "These big brothers don't need to worry, if they have a suitable shop in their hands to rent to me." ”
"The shop is naturally there, you are not afraid that you will not be able to recover the capital, and I will naturally not push the money I get out." After taking the tea handed by his sister, Zhang Shucheng looked at Zhuang Shuqing with a faint expression, "How big is the shop?" Do you have more detailed requirements? ”
"It's good to have a medium shop, I plan to sell ready-to-wear, and I may sell other embroidery, so there can't be dirty shops around the shop, it's best to be relatively clean around, and the things sold shouldn't be those miscellaneous and unclassy, do you have it in your hands?"
"There are two places, now to see?"
"Okay, big brother, wait a minute, I'll come when I go. (http://.)。 ”
Zhuang Shuqing went to her brother's house.
"Sister is going to go out, and you will go to cut some meat and come back in a while, I can't say that the eldest brother of the Zhang family will eat here."
Zhuang Shuhan shook his head, "I'll go with my sister." ”
"No need to ......"
"Yes, I'm the man in the family, these things should have been done by me, just because I won't make my sister tired, just like Sister Xiu'er said, it's better for my sister to show up as little as possible, I'm a little taller than my sister now, and I should come forward."
The younger brother is so responsible, Zhuang Shuqing is relieved and sad, only children whose lives are not so smooth will be sensible early, especially her family, who is bent on getting ahead.
Just stayed like this for a moment, Zhuang Shuhan had already packed up, and she knew enough during this time to know that nothing could change her brother's mind now, thinking that he was reading books every day these days, and it was good to go out for a walk, so he simply went out without saying anything.
Outside, Zhang Xiu'er also whispered to her younger brother, "If you are optimistic, you can help press the rent, don't ask for a high price, if you let me know that their sister and brother have suffered a loss, you will not come to my door in the future." ”
Zhang Shucheng glanced at her sister helplessly, and she looked at everyone well, and regarded those two sisters and brothers as children who didn't understand anything, and didn't look at them as people who were so easy to lose?
