Chapter Twenty-Nine: Rushing to Work Overnight

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Xiangrong began to open, and received more than ten orders on the first day, all of which were from Song Lingyue's previous chief wife and several young ladies, she did not come forward directly, only as a middleman, and introduced Hua Xiangrong to them, and the size was also taken by Tailor Xie to the door, and no one knew that she was the boss behind the scenes.

Song Lingyue was busy designing the patterns of clothes and selecting fabrics during the day, and still went to Jinkaimen at night, and she was very busy for a while.

Five days later, the first batch of clothes was made, including a cashmere coat with a fur collar, a gabardine coat for spring, and a long pressed pleated skirt of fine velvet inside, each of which was very fashionable and trendy.

Song Lingyue carefully inspected each piece, from the materials used to sew the clothes, to the buttons on the clothes, and made sure that each piece was in line with the style she designed and the requirements of the customer, so that the person wrapped it and asked the guy to deliver it to the customer in person according to the address of the order.

The first batch of orders, excluding the cost of materials and the wages of the guys, made a net profit of nearly 1,000 yuan, which made Song Lingyue taste the sweetness of doing business.

During the Lantern Festival, a banquet was held at the Prime Minister's house, and officials of all sizes in Kyoto brought their female dependents to the banquet.

Although Song Lingyue did not go to the banquet, but gained a lot, several of the chief wife of the banquet was wearing the clothes she designed, the materials were exquisite, the style was fashionable, and she attracted the attention of many female relatives as soon as she attended, and overnight, Hua Xiangrong opened her name among the famous ladies in Kyoto.

Early the next morning, Hua Xiangrong's small shop was full of cars, all of whom came to make clothes.

Song Lingyue came to the store in the afternoon, and as soon as she entered the door, Tailor Xie handed her a thick stack of orders, and the expression on her face was happy and embarrassed.

"Young master, there are more and more people making clothes, and they are all rich families or official wives, and they don't dare to be sloppy at all, but we don't have enough manpower, and many clothes are added with lace, and they can't be sewn by machine, so they can only be sewn by hand, so it will be very delayed, and it seems that the delivery can only be delayed."

Song Lingyue folded the list carefully, and all the requirements written on it were the requirements for making clothes, which were the most important things, and she would take them home and design the drawings according to these requirements, and then hand them over to Tailor Xie for them to cut and sew.

Song Lingyue had already considered the problem that Tailor Xie said, so she had been looking for some suitable candidates for the past two days, and she had almost found them, so she said: "We can't delay, we spend our reputation for Rong, one is to pay attention to craftsmanship, and the other is to pay attention to reputation. ”

"I have found a painter to draw drawings, as well as two tailors and a few female workers, all of whom are skilled masters, and they can do the work when they come, and they will come over in these two days, and when the time comes, you will take them with you, remember, there must be no mistakes in the clothes, not a single stitch or thread."

Tailor Xie nodded, "Young master, you have said many times the rules in our shop, we all know it by heart, and we definitely don't dare to make mistakes, but new people can't come for a while, what can we do in the past two days?" ”

Song Lingyue stretched out her hand and pressed the thick order, thought about it, and came up with a way that was not a way, Jin Kaimen was not very busy these two days, and she didn't need to dance, so she could not go for a while, so that she could free up time to concentrate on designing drawings, and she could also help make clothes, and wait for the new recruits to replace her, and then go to Jin Kaimen.

I made up my mind, so I said to Tailor Xie: "You go and tell the guys, everyone has worked hard in the past two days, hurry up at night, and gain more time, and I will also follow everyone here to work together until the newcomer comes." ”

When Tailor Xie heard that she was going to stay and rush to work, he suddenly became a little uneasy, "Young master, how can this work, you are the boss, where can you work hard with us, we can stay up a little longer at night and persevere." ”

Song Lingyue waved her hand, "That's not good, just because I'm the boss, I have to lead everyone to work together, you work hard to sew clothes during the day, I have more strength, and you can rest a little more at night." In addition, in the past few days, I have given everyone double the salary and a big red envelope for each person, which is counted as encouragement. ”

Tailor Xie smiled gratefully, "Then thank you young master, I'll go and pass on the message to everyone, and I won't delay the delivery time." ”

After the matter was discussed, Song Lingyue made a phone call to Jin Kaimen, asked Song Lang for two days off, and asked people to send a message home, so that Rong's mother could rest assured that she stayed in the shop that day.

Staying up until midnight, Song Lingyue drew the drawings of all the clothes, and followed Tailor Xie to cut the fabrics, and the rest was sewing and ironing, which was also the most time-consuming process.

The guys were already sleepy, and Tailor Xie's eyes were also bloodshot, and they couldn't sew at night, Song Lingyue asked them to go to the back to rest, and she turned on the small lamp on the case alone and began to sew the lace flowers needed on the clothes.

At four o'clock in the morning, Song Lingyue couldn't stay up, put on a coat, and fell asleep on the case.

Tailor Xie and the guys got up early in the morning, rubbed their eyes and came to the outside room, and saw a large pile of lace flowers piled up on the case, and they couldn't close their mouths in surprise for a long time.

"This, this is all sewn by Young Master Rong overnight?"

"Yes! I didn't expect him to be a big young master, and he also has such good craftsmanship, you look at this pattern and needlework, they have caught up with Tailor Xie. ”

"No, the young master is so able to endure hardships, we must work hard today."

"Yes, yes!"

A few people were talking nonsense, and Song Lingyue came back from outside with breakfast, seeing that they were all discussing around the case, and said with a smile: "I can't sleep at night, so I prepared this lace flower first, so that you can also relax." ”

Tailor Xie stepped forward to take the things in her hand, and said with a look of unbearability: "Young Master, you have been busy all night, seeing that your face is pale, don't be busy today, go back and rest!" The others chimed in and told her to go back and rest.

Song Lingyue waved her hand indifferently, "It's okay, everyone is working hard, it's only been one night, I can hold on." ”

He pointed to breakfast again, and beckoned everyone: "Now go wash your face, and then come over to eat, I bought the newly cooked steamed buns, as well as braised pork and porridge side dishes, let's have breakfast together, if you want to eat full, let's start work again." ”

When everyone heard that breakfast was so sumptuous, they immediately came to their senses, cheered and responded, and pushed each other and ran out to wash their faces.

Song Lingyue divided the breakfast in the same way, and several people came back after washing, she did not shy away from it, gave each person a pair of chopsticks, picked up a big steamed bun, and followed a few people around the table to eat.

Tailor Xie and the guys saw that she, the boss, also ate with the big guys, and they also ate wolf-eaten, without the slightest severance, and they originally stayed away from her, but in this way, they felt a lot closer, and even their titles changed, and Young Master Rong became Brother Rong.

Although Song Lingyue is younger than them, she is the boss in the end, and she is a woman dressed as a man, she is very comfortable when she shouts this voice, here, she is no longer the dance lady of Jin Kaimen, but a real businessman.

After breakfast, Song Lingyue started to get busy again, others were responsible for sewing clothes, she was responsible for checking the needle and thread, and then ironing it after taking it, sorting it out and then packing it.

At the end of the day, although I was tired and had back pain, I had a lot of results, and a lot of orders were completed.

After dinner, Song Lingyue asked Tailor Xie and the guys to rest for a while, and she also lay on the case for a nap, only squinting for an hour, and the big guy started work again and continued to be busy.

After staying up for two days and two nights, most of the orders were completed, and the newly hired people finally came to work, Song Lingyue stared at it for a long time, when it was dark, Tailor Xie slept enough, came out to replace her, Song Lingyue called a rickshaw, hurriedly left Hua Xiangrong, rushed home to change clothes, and had to go to Jinkaimen tonight anyway.

When Song Lingyue arrived at Jin Kaimen, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and when she arrived at the door, she saw Song Lang anxiously waiting for her.

Song Lingyue trotted up the steps, came to Song Lang, and asked breathlessly, "What's wrong?" Is there an urgent matter for me? ”

Song Lang saw that her face was very unsightly, although she applied whitening cream, she still had obvious dark circles under her eyes, and couldn't help muttering: "My eldest miss, Commander Chen didn't see you yesterday, and I've been here for more than an hour today, and I haven't waited for you yet, I'm in a hurry." Look at your face, your complexion is so bad, you won't fool around anywhere, right? As he spoke, he led her to the dressing room.

Song Lingyue explained with a smile as she walked: "Where can I go to fool around, but there is something important to deal with, I will explain it to him well, and he will not embarrass me." I didn't sleep well, so my face was terrible, so I just asked them to put more rouge gouache on me and cover it up later. ”

Song Lang stopped, pushed her to a place where no one was, and whispered: "Let me tell you, this Commander Chen is from a military background, if you dare to do something sorry for him, he will never spare you." Also, he seems to have something to do today, and he is in a hurry, so don't annoy him. ”

Song Lingyue didn't care about thinking too much, pushed him, and said angrily: "What nonsense, it's not that I don't understand the rules, he made so much money to make me popular, how could I do something sorry for him, you can rest assured." ”

"Okay, okay, what you said is right, Commander Chen is waiting in the box! Pack up and go! ”

The speed of applying makeup this time was very fast, Song Lingyue was sure that there was no problem with the makeup, looked in the mirror and pursed her red lips, and hurried to Nicholas Chen's box.
