Back in the house, Chen Wenhui did not go back to her bedroom, because she knew that her mother had something to ask, so she obediently took Feiguang to Bai's main room with Bai.

Bai Shi was not in a hurry, slowly changed into homely clothes, and sat down with Chen Wenhui to drink tea. Chen Wenhui couldn't hold back: "Mother, when you speak, you must have something to ask?" ”

Bai sneered, and held his daughter's little face with his hand: "You little ghost spirit, so small, why do you think so much?" Tell me, do you want to do a new business again? ”

Chen Wenhui took the opportunity to roll into Bai's arms and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from my mother." I do have a new idea. Since the last time Sister Yaozhen of the Wang family came, I found that the level of clothing in Ancheng was too poor, and my father was added as a parent official to manage the terroir of a county, and I, as a daughter, should also try my best to dress up the people of Ancheng beautifully. So, I thought about opening a ready-to-wear store. Mother, how are you? ”

Bai smiled: "You monkey spirit, if you want to make money, you just want to make money, how can you still have so many truths." Tell me, what the hell are you thinking, it's not just an embroidery workshop."

Chen Wenhui grinned and said, "Mother really knows me so well. Actually, I just think it's too hard for us to make our own clothes. Because I have been following my mother to check the accounts for a while, I realized that it is too difficult for us to make our own clothes all year round. It's okay to say that the clothes of our family of five are mostly made by my sisters. But in this way, the sisters worked too hard, and most of their time was wasted on female workers. So, we need a lot of people to serve. If our clothes are bought, it saves a lot of labor and can use fewer people. And then the biggest head is still the servants in the palace four sets of clothes a year. Although there are not many people and there are not many clothes, there are more than 100 sets, and there are many people raised by needlework alone. In our house, those big families in Anseong have more people than in our house, and there are not hundreds of sets a year, and there is a team of needlework alone. Speaking of the people, they work hard, they have less time, and they have to make their own clothes, which is even harder. If there is a place that sells large quantities of ready-to-wear garments, the price is similar to that of making it themselves, but it is more time-saving, then I believe they will buy it, and no one will make it themselves. ”

Bai nodded yes. But Bai said: "Everyone knows what you said, but why do you want to do it yourself, it is because you save money by doing it yourself, there are many ready-to-wear shops in Anseong, but the business is mediocre, because ready-to-wear is much more expensive than clothing, how do you maintain an advantage in price?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This is very simple, Sister Feiguang knows it." You ask her to talk to you. ”

Bai looked at Feiguang in surprise. Feiguang hurriedly took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, which was written yesterday. Feiguang handed the paper to Bai, and then told Bai what he had discussed yesterday.

After listening to Feiguang's respective advantages of beauty, brocade, and treasure clothes, and their respective profits, Bai nodded again and again, and said to them with bright eyes: "You guys are really amazing, this method is very good." Now that you've all agreed, just wait for me to agree, won't you? No, you still lack manpower, space, and shops, so you're pestering me to go to Jingqiao Square today. ”

Chen Wenhui said proudly: "Mother is amazing, but she is an afterthought." Now my mother has solved the first problem for us. I think with the bait thrown by my mother, coupled with the technique of flying light, Qiao Niang will definitely take refuge. Now it's just the second point, and the third point. ”

Bai said: "Qiao Niang, these people can't wait to lean against the door of the mansion." The second point is also simple. After I discuss with your father, let him send someone to buy a yard in Ancheng as a processing workshop, and then rent a shop next to our restaurant, which is a prosperous place, and it will be done. Fortunately, because the income of soybean oil is rising for a while, there is money to do this. ”

Chen Wenhui shouted: "Great, Sister Feiguang will go to the workshop to be the owner." But it can't be according to the monthly routine of ordinary stewards, at least it is higher than that Qiao Niang. ”

Bai said: "Since Feiguang is fully involved in this matter, let her be the owner of the workshop." However, there is only one Feiguang and one Yinhong around you, and now Yinhong will soon go to the restaurant, and if Feiguang goes out again, there will be no one who is competent, how can I rest assured. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Mother, don't worry. Although they have gone out, they have not moved out of the house, but they still have to come back every night, and they can also take charge of the affairs of my room. Besides, I don't have much to do in my room now, my body is better, I don't need to decoct medicine, and I eat and dress for kilometers. The rest is the matter of serving tea and water, and the management of the hairpin rings of clothes, let them watch, and Qiu Bi and Lu Ya will manage it. Now Qiu Bi and Lu Ya are not small, and it has been two years since the sisters trained them, so it's still okay to be a big girl. Besides, I also have the new second-class maids Cui Qiao and Bi Lian in my house. They are now in good shape, and although they are almost in service, they are fortunate to be from a hard background, and they work very neatly, so it is still okay for me to do some rough work. Besides, I still have the nurse Zheng's mother in the house. Chen Fu of her family, Chen Qing is already old, and they have been following Steward Chen for a few years. She didn't have to worry about it for a long time. She's only in my house every day, aren't you still at ease? ”

Bai Shi smiled and said, "You monkey, everything has been calculated, can I not rely on you?" So be it. When Feiguang becomes the owner, he will pay fifteen taels of silver a month. ”

Feiguang hurriedly knelt down when he heard this: "No, I am the head of this mansion." The monthly rule of being a big girl with one tael of silver a month is enough, how can you get fifteen taels. This is more than Chen Cai's housekeeper. Besides, why do I want so much silver for a slave and maid? ”

Bai said: "Then you should be more dedicated to managing your business, and take more care of the girl, these are the graces that the girl gives you." Who is too much silver, you do more, and save up for the dowry in the future. ”

Feiguang still didn't dare to be, and said, "I always remember the grace of the lady and the girl. I will definitely manage the embroidery workshop with all my heart. Madam, why don't you give me the example of being in charge like Sister Ziyu, it's already good to be in charge of the second two of January, but I didn't come out later than Ziyu, but crossed Sister Ziyu's. ”

Bai Shi also heard it. He pondered for a while and said: "Otherwise, you will first take the case of two or two months of stewardship, the same as Ziyu, and you will be like this when you go out in the future, but if you can be promoted to the shopkeeper and work for three months, there is no difference, you will be given a month of fifteen taels according to the example of the big shopkeeper." If Ziyu can master the incubation technology, I will open a hatchery in Zhuangzi, and she will be the owner, so naturally she will follow such rules. Yin Hong is now the manager of the two taels, if the business of the restaurant is good in the future, we can set up a chef, the head chef. The chef is the head of a kitchen, five taels a month. If you open a branch in the future, you will be the head chef, and you will be in charge of the kitchens of all branches, according to this month's example. As for Chen Cai's housekeeper, he will be promoted to the chief housekeeper from next month, and he will get twenty taels a month like the one in the capital mansion. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "It's good that my mother still has a charter." As he was talking, Chen Yuanheng happened to enter the main room, and when he heard the words, he said, "What kind of charter does your mother have?" ”

Bai Shi hurriedly stood up to greet him, and personally changed the official uniform for Chen Yuanheng, on the side, Qingshuang and Hongli took the official uniform and hung it up, and the other immediately found homely clothes and held it. That's right, Hui'er has a new idea. ”

Then after Chen Yuanheng sat down, he handed over the stack of paper written by Feiguang on the table and said, "Master, take a look." Chen Yuanheng watched while Bai explained. The smile on Chen Yuanheng's face grew bigger and bigger.

After reading it, Chen Yuanheng said: "I have long said that our daughter is a phoenix. That's a good idea. If you discuss it, I think it should be done immediately. Buy a yard, not in the center of the city, just in a little more remote location. The house doesn't have to be too good, just plain, but the yard should be big, so that the washed fabric can be dried, well, the house should be a little more, so that it can accommodate a little more embroidery. I estimate that a hundred and fifty taels of such a yard is about the same. Then it is to rent a shop, because it is rented, the money spent is even more limited, but to buy some shelves, and to buy some embroidered frame seats in the yard, etc., fifty taels are enough. Two hundred taels can be taken out now. As for the clothing, I am not in a hurry, I can think of a credit first. So no money. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Father, you don't look like a scholar at all, you settle accounts so quickly." Chen Yuanheng smiled and said: "Good girl, do you know that you can only read, but you can't be a county order." The county order also governs the money valley of a county. That account is even more cumbersome. Chen Wenhui nodded understandingly.

Chen Yuanheng said: "Actually, there is another benefit to this matter. Because of the lack of harvest now, and last year's harvest was not good, some people in the city are having a hard time. If there is this garment workshop, at least 20 daughters-in-law can be recruited, so it can't be said that it will save 20 families. It also helps me with my performance this year. ”

As soon as Bai Shi heard this, he fell into his heart: "Then, master, let's do it." Tomorrow, I will shoot Chen Cai to find a shop in the yard, and Chen Cai's family will go to talk to Qiao Niang about the Jingqiao Workshop tomorrow. If she doesn't agree, we'll find another home. Anyway, there are many tailors in Anseong. Later, I called Chen Cai and his family, first allocated 700 taels of 1,000 taels of silver to the treasury, 200 taels to buy a yard and rent a shop, and 500 taels to prepare a delicate workshop. ”

Chen Wenhui saw that her mother and father were all action-oriented, so she did what she said. Busy whispered to Feiguang: "Sister Feiguang, do you see, if you can do a good job, not only can you make money for the house, but also help your father's future, but you must work hard." Feiguang nodded vigorously.
