Chapter 653: Clothing Ordering
She once met with Yu'er, because Liu Er said that the cross-stitch was sent to her by Mama Zhou, but when she tried it, it was completely different. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info As soon as she asked, she asked the fish about Mao, and quickly reported it to the master. Yun'er consulted the master when she was practicing in the middle of the night, and the master said, "It doesn't matter, being a teacher will erase the memories of her past life and leave the part where she knows foreign languages." She will not pose any threat to your affairs. ”
After returning home, Yun'er told the prince Taylor about the order, and asked Ma Mingyue to be a translator. The prince felt that Ma Mingyue was still very reliable as a translator.
The matter of ordering is very simple, the two sides negotiate the price, there are ready-made samples, there are ready-made fabrics, lace, and then put forward some specific requirements, such as delivery date, quality, etc., and then sign and take effect on the reciprocal terms that both parties can accept and make money. The first batch of garments for foreigners was started. According to the price of the Qing Dynasty, it was eight taels of silver a piece. Taylor set a sale price of 500 princess dresses and tutu dresses worn by girls of eight or nine years old, that is, 4,000 taels of silver. The next day, Tian Liang came forward to order with Taylor, and eight taels of silver per piece was still not expensive in Taylor's opinion. The girls who can wear princess dresses are from relatively wealthy families, even from high-ranking officials, or simply from the royal family. Taylor didn't get stuck in time, and he also knew that princess dresses belonged to the category of making crafts, which was very troublesome. Just set an approximate time. The main reason is that he is afraid that if he is forced too tightly, people will not do this business with him. Taylor is a royal businessman, and he knows that the royal people don't care about the price but about the quality and beauty. He had never seen crochet flowers before, and he had seen clothes, handbags, purses and other handicrafts spelled out by crochet flowers in the Yulong Trading Company, and decided that this business would definitely make money.
So all the grandmothers and girls in the house put down their work and went to the battlefield of the princess dress with all their might, working day and night. Arranged and commanded by Tian Liang, the method of assembly operation was adopted, and the cutting of cutting, the special code edge of the yard edge, the special embossing of the embossing, the pinching of teeth, the inlaid lace, and the wearing of colored beads, each took its own responsibility. Don't look at it all for girls, it's not the same general size, length and fat and thin. Taylor asked that it must be completed within a month, Yun'er calculated the speed, a clothing sewing machine can make ten princess dresses a day, Yun'er bought six clothing sewing machines, as well as two from the eldest sister and Master Wang, and two from the sewing machine manufacturer, a total of ten, ten pieces per day for each machine, and it was completed in ten days. Other tasks can also be completed in 10 days. Coupled with the individual rework, a month is completely sufficient.
And Taylor has a request, which is to have as many styles as possible, not necessarily all of them in the same mold as abacus beads. Tian Liang also agreed to him. The princess dresses worn by Western girls are more often used in white yarn, and they are more solid, just like the skirts of the little swans in the dance "Swan Lake", which can be tied open and translucent. And it's multi-layered, and the exotic side calls this kind of skirt a tutu. Yun'er and Tian Liang didn't find many such yarns in the bulk of fabrics, but they found a lot in Xiaoli cloth, and the quantity was enough. Yun'er felt that the cost of these fabrics was very low, and the price of selling a piece for eight taels of silver seemed to be too high, so she muttered to the prince, and the prince said: "I see that you are very shrewd, but you are actually a person who can't settle accounts." The skirt that Taylor ordered is not just made of yarn, right? And those ancillary materials, and those manpower, are not counted as money? We've got to make a little bit of money, right? Can you do it for him? ”
"Are you okay, the door to business is cleared?"
"People in Buddhism talk about kindness and compassion. But not as you understand it. We are Buddhist laymen, not cultivating in the temple, not eating the fireworks in the world, we are all given in vain, we are also playing in vain, right? We still have a mission to do business. Earn the money you should make, why be bold? ”
"You're a great old man, you're talking about the truth."
"My old man? Am I really old? ”
"What's the matter with you? When I talk about age, I am nervous. ”
"Hahaha......" The prince laughed, admitting that he was too sensitive.
Yun'er said: "You were born when you were twenty years old, and when you put the two of you together, the feeling is too different. But you are forty years old, Yun'er is not so dazzling at the age of twenty, because Yun'er is also an adult. If you are sixty years old, Yun'er will be almost the same when you are forty years old, and when you are eighty years old, Yun'er will basically be the same when you are sixty years old, they are all old men and old ladies. ”
"You can do it, there is a lot of reason, then wait until we are eighty years old to compare."
The princess dress is in full swing in production, and the finished products are being processed one after another for Taylor to see. Taylor's eyes are falling to the ground! It's better than a sample! And the lace of the fabric material on it is something he has not seen, and the fungus edge is even more noble and elegant. Ryo Wada begged to sell him some more lace like this. Tian Liang said yes, but it must be delivered clearly after the princess dress is completed, and the lace matter will be determined after the account is settled, otherwise the two things will be twisted together, how to calculate the construction period? Also distracting. Taylor had to admit that this very young and very handsome governor of the palace was very shrewd and safe, and did not mess up because he had money to make.
He also told Tian Liang that if the princess dress sells well after he goes back, he will come to order other styles of clothing. There may be a steady stream of orders. Tian Liang said: "Then Mr. Taylor is welcome to visit Yulong Buzhuang frequently." ”
Ma Ping reported the matter to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was very moved, always thinking that Prince Rui was hiding a traitor, who knew that Ma Ping's daughter was also involved.
Taylor's princess dress was completed and delivered three days ahead of schedule. After careful inspection by the Irish side, none of the quality was unsatisfactory, but the results were much better than expected. Four thousand taels of silver will be in hand. The first batch of big business ended, and as for the order of lace, the number was only a few thousand feet, and the six embossing machines rotated at the same time, and it was completed in three or four days. Taylor happily took his first cargo with the palace and sailed to the English Channel and returned home. His ships were not all clothing and lace, but also silk, porcelain, and other handicrafts from the Qing Dynasty.
Mr. Taylor returned with a full load, he is full of confidence, and he will definitely make money! How much he can earn is not what Yun'er cares about.
When the prince rests in the Fujin room, he also has to go to Yun'er to have a look, and when he rests in the Yun'er room, he still has to go to the Fujin room to have a look. He valued the emotions of the two ladies very much, just look at them and say a few words, so as not to give them the feeling of being left out.
The prince has been living in Fujin for the past few days, and he took the time to go to the back building to see Yun'er. When I entered the room, I couldn't help laughing: "Yun'er, what are you doing here?" How do you put a table of eggshells? ”
"We're experimenting with eggshell painting."
"Is there a finished product?" The prince was very interested.
Yu'er and Shui'er showed the eggshell painting painted by Yun'er to the prince, and the prince squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time: "Yun'er, you can do it, think about this." ”
"This is not something Yun'er figured out, but Yun'er still remembers the painting method over there. Actually, it's not difficult, it's just a little troublesome. You can also use eggshells to make dolls and paint faces. There's also a fun thing for Yun'er to show you. Yun'er took out a few things from the cardboard box under the bed, put them on the table, filled a bag of white gypsum powder with a glass cup, measured the water in proportion, mixed it together and stirred evenly, then poured it into the mold, filled the mold, and then shook it gently, and the plaster was evenly spread in the mold, and in about four or five minutes, the handicrafts were taken out, and a cute little pig came out.
The prince smiled: "This little pig is very good-looking." If only there were colors. ”
"They haven't painted yet. Do you think you can sell it? ”
"I can sell it. Our goods were snapped up when they arrived at the trading houses. ”
"Is it selling too cheaply?"
"It's not cheap, it's okay according to the ratio, it's because of novelty and ingenuity that it's fast, and some foreigners have to take it all, and they will make a fortune when they go back."
"He'll sit back and enjoy it. What do you do? ”
"You can also do business with foreigners, we have already done it, we just have to be careful not to let them be confused."
"You can do it, you have a high IQ."
"Don't you say that this king is a cunning fox?"
"Hahaha!" Yun'er laughed heartily.
"What else are you going to do?"
"There's so much we can do, we're just getting started. How are the straw products sold by my uncle? ”
"If it weren't for Naruto and a few strong young men, the counter would have collapsed. The reading glasses of the shopkeeper Zhou have been squeezed out, and he is complaining. What is the most sought-after straw, do you know? You are a plaything of straw sandals! If you know, make up more. This king advises you to weave not only what you wear in the summer, but also what you can wear in the winter. Poor peasants could not afford cloth and linen, and they wore a pair of straw to keep out the cold. You can hang cotton lining for straw sandals, maybe it's warmer than cotton shoes. ”
Yun'er said: "This is easy to do, I will think about it, and see that in addition to weaving some cornskin straw shoes that can keep out the cold, you can also weave a kind of galoshes that are put on the outside of cotton shoes, one can be more cold, and the other is that you don't have to step on the snow, and when you enter the house, you can take it off outside, so as not to bring the mud and snow on your feet into the house." ”
The prince said, "You think very well, that's it, but don't overwork." ”
"What's this discussing?" Fu Jin came with a smile.
The prince said: "Speaking of selling straw sandals, the emperor's uncle Liu Bei has sold straw sandals, and now the imperial brother has also sold straw sandals." It also needs to be a complete set and a series. ”
Fu Jin said to Yun'er: "Sister heard that the straw sandals made of corn husks are still selling very fast? ”
Yun'er said, "Yes, unexpectedly. If you want me to wear it out, you don't dare, it's just making it up at home. ”
"It's called crookedness." The prince said, "You are in line with the reality of the public, and the straw sandals are only sold for 20 yuan a pair, and the price of a few twist flowers." His capital is low, and when he sells high, he feels that something is wrong. Is it easy to make it up? When I turned back, the king also came to weave straw sandals. ”
"Do you really want to be Liu Bei? There is a ready-made second royal sister-in-law here. Yun'er laughed
"Don't talk nonsense, Liu Bei is going to be the emperor, and this king doesn't have this mind."
After laughing for a while, the prince and Fujin went back to the front yard, and Yu'er Shui'er also returned home. Now Yu'er's house is much more generous, just the main room is five rooms up and down, Rui'er has her own room, but she still doesn't feel at ease to live by herself, at least she will catch a cold if she kicks the quilt at night and no one cares. So, she sent the two girls sent by Fujin to Rui'er's room to be her companion.
Now the fish is more than four months pregnant, and it can be seen that the waist is thick. Fortunately, the fish is not squeamish at all, and does not take pregnancy seriously at all, what should be done, of course, manual labor is not allowed to participate, and learning skills is not a failure.
The autumn of the sixteenth year of Shunzhi is a harvest season. First of all, strawberries and tomatoes were successfully planted, purple cabbage was also on the tables of Fujin, Yun'er and Mr. Chen, and sand melons became the favorite of Shizi, Gege and Rui'er. Regardless of whether there are vegetables in the Qing Dynasty, the prince tries to plant a little in his greenhouse, and the 200-square-meter greenhouse is not small, all of them are full. There are all kinds of vegetables, such as radish, carrot, green onion, ginger, garlic, callus, lettuce, brussels sprouts, mustard, bok choy, spinach, celery, leek, amaranth, coriander, fennel, onion, lily, cauliflower, enoki, eggplant, pepper, kidney bean, cowpea, sword bean, edamame, pea, broad bean, lentil, cucumber, pumpkin, winter melon, loofah, vegetable melon, gourd, lettuce and so on. The earth was planted with large fields of Chinese cabbage, potatoes, mustard greens, etc., etc., etc. Grain crops are planted by the prince without being at home in the spring, mainly corn, wheat, sorghum, buckwheat, millet, etc., which must be planted every year, with corn being the majority. The prince brought back a large number of seeds from foreign lands, and they will have to be planted in the spring of next year. Wang Ye was optimistic about the Inner Mongolia sunflower seeds sold in the Beijing market, bought a lot, and planted a large area in the spring. It was very warm and sunny in the greenhouse. The crops inside are vibrant, which is the result of the careful care of Wang Ye, Tang Jun and others. Next year, the prince will plant rice, flowers, and medicinal herbs in a large area. Don't look at the background of the prince's military general, he is the most patient with flowers and plants, and he can sum up experience and gradually improve.
Tian Liang's equipment has almost been tried, and all the usages are familiar to him.
The starch that Tong tried to make in Heilongjiang was also successful, and the prince sent someone to send a car to pull and transport starch, and the person who came to transport starch products paid money and delivered it with one hand, and the only requirement was good quality and clean. The potatoes of the black soil are good, tested and fully qualified.
In a few months, several masters of the Rui Wangfu and the four King Kongs, Fu Jin, Yun'er's companions, and Jingqi Mama are all famous, and the prince has become an eye-catching figure of the royal family, and the clothes designed by Fu Jin have become a model for leading the fashion.
During this time, the Queen Mother was very calm, did not make trouble for the house, and no one came. But Fu Jin knew that the Queen Mother was embarrassed and was detained in the palace by her son. In order not to make the queen mother resentful of the prince, she sent the big eunuch Huang Gonggong in the courtyard into the palace every few days to send some food to the queen mother, and the queen mother especially liked the cream popcorn in the house. She has a good tooth and mouth, so she likes to eat these small snacks, as well as melon seeds, chestnuts and so on. Occasionally, I was responsible for giving her a set of new samples in the house.
What has always puzzled the Queen Mother is that Yun'er, who is so young and beautiful, is willing to succumb to the position of side Fujin, and she will not change it if she gives it to the queen! The man is twenty years older, and he has no ability, but she stands out like a phoenix, without a word of complaint against Lord Rui, and does not feel the Fu Jin Tong clan pressing on her head, so she follows Lord Rui wholeheartedly, what does she think? I don't want to be tempted to have such a good opportunity to be a queen, and I almost touched the pillar for this, is it stupid? The Queen Mother still thought that after Yun'er took charge of the Phoenix Seal of the Six Palaces of the East and West, she would be the first to get rid of the fox spirit of Concubine E. When Fang Fujin is not afraid of her, when the position is higher than her, it is not the same as playing with her? It's a shame to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! How did this Rui Wang Ye use to hold two women who are one in a million by his side and help him do things willingly? (To be continued.) )
