Chapter 36
As soon as the first month passed, the shop that Gu Sanniang rented on West Street was already whitewashed, and she spent money to hire someone to open the cabinet and reinstall the door.
After the shop is newly dressed, it is time to think of a name, this is Shen Zhuo's turn to go out, because Gu Sanniang's shop specializes in embroidery trading, and her shopkeeper is a woman's family, so Shen Zhuo took the word 'Long embroidery', Gu Sanniang listened to it very much, and deliberately put a signboard on it, so busy, Gu Sanniang's Long embroidery village will soon be officially opened.
On the day of the opening, Gu Sanniang got up early in the morning, she first came to the City God Temple with fresh fruit fragrant paper, praying for the opening of her shop, just waiting for the gods to be worshipped, the sky was already bright.
Seeing that it was not early, Gu Sanniang hurriedly came to West Street, at this time, the merchants on the street had already opened for business, and there were also villagers from the countryside who carried their burdens and shouted to sell the fresh vegetables and fruits grown by the farmers.
Gu Sanniang opened the door of the store, and across her was a cloth village, this time the guy from the cloth village removed the door panel, he saw Gu Sanniang, said hello to her, and said: "Gu shopkeeper arrived really early, your shop is going to open today?" โ
Gu Sanniang smiled and nodded, and said, "Exactly." โ
The guy arched his hand towards her, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the shopkeeper Gu for his prosperous business and making money every day." โ
Hearing his words, Gu Sanniang thanked her, and replied with a smile: "I borrowed your auspicious words." โ
The guy of this cloth village is named Fuquan, now in his twenties, is the nephew of the shopkeeper of the cloth village, knows a few words, is very clever, but for some reason to this age but has not taken a kiss, Fuquan saw that there were no customers in the store in the morning, and his uncle was not there, so he simply stood aside and gossiped with Gu Sanniang, he asked: "Gu shopkeeper, I heard that you were an embroidery girl in Jin's embroidery village before?" โ
Gu Sanniang nodded yes, Na Fuquan stretched out his thumb when he saw this, and said with a smile: "I have never heard of an embroidery girl who came out to open a shop by herself, and you are still the first one." โ
Gu Sanniang smiled silently, the shop was about to open in a while, and there were still many chores to do in the store, she nodded to Fuquan, and then went into the room and began to sweep the dust.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Yezi also came, since she wanted to open a shop at home, she didn't even go to school, she ran before and after running every day to help, plus not long ago she had to take care of the sick Gu Sanniang, the words she learned before were about to be forgotten, and now Gu Sanniang started to do business, more and more know the benefits of recognizing words, not to mention anything else, just keep an account, which one must not be written and calculated? When renting this shop a few days ago, Shen Zhuo still read the deed for her, so Gu Sanniang said to Xiao Yezi, and when this time is over, she still wants her to follow Shen Zhuo to study, that is, she is herself, and she is also learning to keep accounts, but it is much more difficult to learn these things than embroidery, fortunately, there is a small leaf at home, and Shen Zhuo lives in the door.
After Xiao Yezi arrived, she first followed her mother to clean the shop inside and out, Gu Sanniang saw that there were more and more people on the street, so she took out dozens of copper coins, and said to Xiao Yezi: "You go to the dried fruit shop in front, don't hesitate to weigh some peanuts and melon seeds, and when someone comes to the store, grab a handful each." โ
Xiao Yezi took the copper coin and went out of the shop to run errands.
After half an hour, Gu Sanniang saw Aunt Qin and Zhu Xiaoyue coming from a distance with the child in their arms, followed by Shen Zhuo and Brother Yu'er, father and son, she stepped forward and said with a smile: "You are here." โ
Several people were introduced into the store by Gu Sanniang, and Brother Yu said to Gu Sanniang with a little fat hand: "Congratulations to Aunt Gu for her wealth and dividends." โ
Looking at Brother Yu'er's shaking of her head, Gu Sanniang laughed out loud, she said: "With your words, my aunt must make good money, and when she earns money, she will buy candy for Brother Yu'er to eat." โ
Brother Yu stared at a pair of round eyes and said, "Auntie, remember to talk and count." โ
Gu Sanniang touched the top of his hair and said, "Keep it counting." โ
She turned her head to look at Shen Zhuo again, and said, "You came over, who did the students in the school lose to?" โ
Shen Zhuo glanced at her and said, "You open today, I should also come to the door to say goodbye, the school has its own older students to help me take care of it." โ
Gu Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak.
After a few adults entered the house, they looked around, Zhu Xiaoyue looked around, and joked to Gu Sanniang: "In the future, I will also respect you as a shopkeeper Gu, and I hope that you will be developed in the future, but don't forget a sister who works in the embroidery room." โ
Gu Sanniang pinched her on the arm and said angrily: "I can't cure you, when I see Lin Zi, I only ask him how to โกโก his wife, and you are more and more accustomed to flamboyant tongue." โ
Aunt Qin turned her head to look at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You don't have to ask Lin Zi, if Xiaoyue dares to run rampant in front of you again, you can not accept her embroidery pieces, and sell them wherever she sends them." โ
"This can't be done, I'm open to do business, where is there a reason to push customers out." As she spoke, she directly took the burden that Zhu Xiaoyue carried in the crook of her arm, and opened it to see that there were several fresh embroidery pieces neatly stacked inside.
Zhu Xiaoyue also worked as an embroiderer in Jin's embroidery village, since marrying Qin Lin, she just quit her job and went home, usually in her spare time, Zhu Xiaoyue will also do some embroidery work, and then send it to the embroidery shop to earn a few household money, now Gu Sanniang has opened a shop, she has no reason to be willing to go far.
Gu Sanniang counted Zhu Xiaoyue's embroidery work, a few embroidered handkerchiefs, plus two or three fans, and more than a dozen purses, since she had done embroidery, there was no need to say the work, Gu Sanniang asked: "Do you sell it to me directly, or put it on consignment with me?" โ
For example, those who can't go out of the house, or wait for money, the general embroidery work is sold directly to the shop, so that the price will be lowered a few points, and there are also not waiting for the money to be used, so the embroidery work will be put in the store for consignment, and the store will take some commissions, but when it can be sold, it all depends on their own craftsmanship.
Moreover, all kinds of embroidery, according to the craftsmanship and the size of the embroidery, also need to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, such as Zhu Xiaoyue's embroidery work, although the craftsmanship is not bad, just because they are all small things, so it can only be regarded as medium.
Zhu Xiaoyue said: "Hengzhu, I won't wait for the money to be used, just put it here and sell it on consignment." โ
Gu Sanniang nodded, and made another note on the account book, Shen Zhuo on the side came over to look at it twice, only to see that some of the accounts were drawn in circles, and some were crossed, and he didn't know what it meant, he asked, "What are you writing here, why can't I understand it?" โ
"It's common sense that you can't understand, this is my own creation, and only I can understand it in the world." After Gu Sanniang finished speaking to Shen Zhuo, she carefully put away the account book, she was illiterate, so she could only rely on sketching and drawing to keep accounts, although it was a little cumbersome, but now she had to do it like this.
Shen Zhuo smiled and shook his head, and turned to look at the store, this shop is not big, a few steps back and forth is over, the previous shopkeeper is selling soy sauce, the last time he and Gu Sanniang came to sign the deed with the owner, this shop is black and greasy everywhere, after some whitewashing, the shop has changed a lot, the walls are not only plastered with white plaster, there is a row of wall cabinets on the west side, there are several embroidery pieces hanging in it, because it is a newly opened shop, the embroidery in the shop is not too much.
It didn't take long for another neighbor with the fragrance of acacia flowers to say goodbye, and everyone saw Gu Sanniang as the shopkeeper, and they praised it non-stop, and even Aunt Qin said: "It's really difficult for you, this shop is still open for you." โ
"The difficulty in the front is not called difficult, but the difficulty in the back is really difficult." Gu Sanniang's shop has been opened, there are still a lot of difficulties behind, in addition to her family in the county, there are two embroidery shops, both of which are relatives of the Jin family, three embroidery shops in a county, and the business will depend on their own abilities.
When a few people were talking, a few more shopkeepers in the neighborhood came to congratulate them, Gu Sanniang left them to eat tea, and each family was still busy doing business, but after a few words of gossip, they dispersed.
Later, Mo Xiaohong and a few sisters from the embroidery village also came over, seeing them, Gu Sanniang was very surprised, she asked, "This is the time to go to work, how did you come over?" โ
"Your shop is open, no matter how busy we are, we have to come and take a look." Mo Xiaohong said with a smile.
Gu Sanniang said, "You guys are here, does Uncle Aeon know?" โ
"Don't worry, it's the leave that Uncle Aeon gave us." Mo Xiaohong said to Gu Sanniang again: "Uncle Yongwang is not allowed to come over, he asked us to sue you and tell you to work hard, don't lose the reputation of our Jin's embroidery village." โ
Gu Sanniang guessed a few points, although the Jin family allowed her to open this shop in the county, but Guan Yongwang was different from Mo Xiaohong and these embroidery girls, he occupied the position of the manager in the Jin family, and secretly did not know how many pairs of eyes were staring, so it was not good to come to the door in person, over the years, thanks to Guan Yongwang, Gu Sanniang was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart.
"If you go back and talk back to Uncle Aeon for me, just say thank you for his concern, I will not dare to live up to his expectations." Gu Sanniang said.
Mo Xiaohong nodded and agreed, and a few sisters looked at the embroidery inside around the counter, everyone kept talking, and those who passed by saw so many young girls surrounded by the store, and looked at the store from time to time, and there was a big man in the house, he was embarrassed to stay for a long time, so he greeted Gu Sanniang and took Brother Yu'er's house.
The sisters in the embroidery village stayed in Gu Sanniang's shop for a while, and then they needed to go back to work, Gu Sanniang personally sent them out, and Aunt Qin also wanted to go back, for a while, only Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi mother and daughter were left in the store.
