Chapter 1622 - The Future Is Promising
In the east of the city, in front of a humble house, the yard is very clean.
Before Zhou Hui went out, she told the eldest girl who was playing: "Eldest girl, you take your younger brother at home, and your mother will buy candy for your sister and brother when she exchanges silk for money!" ”
As soon as the eldest girl heard that there was candy to eat, she agreed obediently.
Normally, it takes seven days to weave a piece of cloth, but there is no shortage of hard-working women in China. After these days of hard work, Zhou Hui used the raw silk given by the United Money Village to weave the first silk.
Although her husband repeatedly emphasized how powerful the United Money Village was, and even mentioned that the United Money Workshop had shipped one million taels of silver from Hangzhou, she was still worried in her heart.
Especially after experiencing the last time the restaurant boss Zhu defaulted on his debts, he was worried about the dishonesty of the United Bank, worried about the problem of the United Bank picking silk, worried about this, and still couldn't believe that pie would fall from the sky.
In his thoughts, he walked to the backyard of the United Money Bank.
There is a special acceptance office here, but she knows the person in charge of acceptance. It is the old man Zhao Liu who weaves cloth in Suzhou City, who is a celebrity in their industry and has a very exquisite weaving skill.
Seeing that the United Money Village had invited such a powerful weaving master to check it, he couldn't help but hold the silk tightly, and couldn't help but be even more worried that he would be harassed.
Zhao Liu is about fifty years old, and he seems to be quite energetic, but he doesn't like to talk very much. First the two men measured the size, and then she checked the quality of the cloth by hand.
Zhao Liu's face drooped, and the two cheeks drooped obviously, as if everyone in the world owed her money, touched the silk with her hand, and then said without a smile: "Although it is a little rushed, but the weaving is okay!" ”
A young bookkeeper next to him saw this scene, so he began to write a list and asked, "Zhou Hui from Zhongyi Fang in the east of the city, right?" ”
"It's the slave family!" Zhou Hui endured the excitement in her heart and responded eagerly.
The young bookkeeper lowered his head and wrote the list, but his mouth explained: "You can still weave another horse of raw silk left now, if it is not enough, just tell me, and we will send someone to send it to you again!" As he spoke, he handed the written list to Zhou Hui and said: "This is your list, you go to the front bank and give the list to the account room inside, and the account office will give you your eight taels of silver!" ”
"Thank you!"
Zhou Hui took the order in disbelief, bowed to the surname Zhao again, and then hurriedly left the acceptance office.
She found that not only she was fast at weaving, but there were not many people as fast as her, and two excited women came out of the acceptance place next to her, and when she walked out of the yard, she saw several women coming in from the outside with silk.
But she didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, the money had not yet arrived, and she was still uneasy in her heart.
"Are you a weaver who came to collect the silver?"
As soon as she entered, a guy greeted her warmly and asked.
Zhou Hui nodded busily, and the guy led him to a high platform, and the two women just now were in front of her. One of the women had already received the silver, and said excitedly: "I've heard that the United Silver is ten percent pure silver, which is a little more expensive than the silver we usually have on the market, and now the shopkeeper of the store in Suzhou City likes to accept this kind of silver the most!" ”
Zhou Hui looked at the white silver, and she liked it from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't help but hold the list tightly.
The two women took the money and departed rejoicing.
"List!"
Zhou Hui came to the window, and the old man in the account room inside spit out two words with an expressionless face.
She hurriedly handed over the list in her hand, and the old bookkeeper carefully checked it, and took out an ingot of eight taels of silver from the silver box and handed it to her.
Zhou Hui took the heavy silver ingot, and felt that it was particularly beautiful than this ingot of silver, and immediately couldn't help but be excited and wanted to rush home, but the person who followed in almost hit it.
She was about to follow up with the person who came to apologize, but when she looked up, she found that it was Boss Zhu of the original restaurant.
Boss Zhu also saw clearly that it was Zhou Hui, and immediately seemed to have changed his face, so he raised his palm to make a gesture to hit Zhou Hui and said: "You damn slut, are you blind, are you deliberately looking for a beating?" ”
"You dare! You still haven't paid me for what you owe, aren't you afraid of retribution? Zhou Hui's anger also surged, and even responded.
Shopkeeper Sun was sending out a man wearing silk and satin, and when he saw this, he asked Zhou Hui: "Does he really owe you wages?" ”
"Yes, you owe me 400 yuan!" Zhou Hui nodded seriously.
Shopkeeper Sun lowered his face and said, "Please go back!" I have a rule that I will not do business with people who are untrustworthy, and I will not lend money to such people! ”
She ...... She lied? Boss Zhu was in a hurry, pointing at Zhou Hui's nose and quibbling.
"I lie? I washed the dishes in your restaurant for half a month, but because I accidentally broke a bowl, you said that you would deduct all my wages, do you dare to swear to me to the Tin Hau Temple? Zhou Hui couldn't help but feel even more angry in her heart, and immediately asked loudly.
"Shut up! When the wages are paid, you will settle the knot! After all, Boss Zhu was cowardly, and immediately launched a money offensive.
"If you did, why can't you let me say it? My wages have blackened you, and I only blame me for being blind to a shopkeeper like you, but I have to tell people what kind of person you are! Zhou Hui thought of her previous grievances, and she also blamed them regardless of it.
Seeing this, several shopkeepers present also made accusations.
Shopkeeper Sun already knew that this was true, and immediately gave the two thugs by the door a look.
The two tall thugs were also hot-blooded men, and they hated this kind of black wage shopkeeper even more, but they couldn't help but carry Boss Zhu out and directly drove him out of the United Money Bank.
Zhou Hui watched Boss Zhu being kicked out so embarrassed, and suddenly felt a sense of revenge, and her steps seemed a lot lighter.
She originally planned to buy some meat, but when she happened to pass by a cloth shop, she suddenly remembered that her children had not worn new clothes for a long time, so she secretly pinched the silver in her hand and walked into the shop.
"Songjiang cloth is famous, but the quality of this Leizhou cloth is better, and it is absolutely ......!" The guy seemed to introduce enthusiastically, but he heard the shopkeeper not far away cough lightly, and he changed his words stiffly: "Of course, when it comes to the color and quality of cotton cloth, it is naturally Songjiang cloth, which is something that everyone in Jiangnan knows!" ”
"No, I'm going to wear Songjiang cloth now, bring me one!" Zhou Hui responded firmly.
The guy turned his head to look at the shopkeeper not far away, and said in embarrassment: "Look at it!" Now everyone only recognizes Leizhou cloth! ”
The shopkeeper glared at him angrily, but waved his hand.
It's not that he has prejudices against Leizhou cloth, but now that Songjiang cloth has too much backlog, he has to find a way to clear the inventory. But for some reason, these women seem to be enchanted, but they only recognize Leizhou Bu.
Zhou Hui left the cloth shop with Leizhou cloth in her arms, originally just wanting to get closer to United Qianzhuang, but found that the Leizhou cloth produced by this cooperative workshop was really tighter and more beautiful than Songjiang cloth.
When she handed over the silk for the second time, she was still worried about the raw silk, but her husband said that Yangzhou and Hangzhou had a large amount of raw silk shipped, and United Money Village really sent her raw silk on time.
She didn't know where the new owner got so much raw silk, but she knew that the new owner was very powerful and did things fairly, and she felt that the future was promising.
