Chapter 36: The Black-Hearted Merchant
"I've thought of a way now, maybe it can help us quickly spread the reputation of the Silver Silk Hall to a hundred miles."
Aunt Mei's serious look immediately aroused Qin Kexin's interest.
Although the reputation of this Silver Silk Hall is now known within a radius of ten miles, the scope is still a little smaller anyway, if he can, Qin Kexin also hopes that people in the vicinity can order handkerchiefs and clothes from him.
"Tell me about it."
Aunt Mei propped her chin and looked at Qin Kexin, "Do you think, now you are the only one who knows how to embroider this double-sided embroidery in the whole process, if we become the first person to be the double-sided embroiderer, wouldn't we be able to play our signboard very quickly?" ”
This is also reasonable, Qin Kexin never thought that a handkerchief that he accidentally embroidered would eventually become a channel for the two of them to make a reputation.
"I'm ashamed to say that I actually embroidered that double-sided handkerchief because I accidentally punctured my finger and blood dripped on it, so I chose this method in desperation."
Qin Kexin smiled embarrassedly, but such a method was also improvized, and Qin Kexin himself didn't expect to be able to embroider so perfectly.
Aunt Mei waved her hand gently, "Don't be modest." I know that you have this strength, this double-sided embroidered handkerchief can become the signboard of our silver silk hall, I will find a few more embroiderers in the next few days, and you will be responsible for teaching them the embroidery method of double-sided embroidery. ”
is also said that if Qin Kexin has to do everything alone, then Qin Kexin can't manage it himself, and a few more embroiderers will also have a few more people to do this work.
So Qin Kexin didn't stop him, so he nodded very happily.
"Okay."
The two of them chatted about the future of Yinjitang, and talked about it late at night, when the two of them became sleepy and went back to their rooms to rest.
Lying on the soft bed, Qin Kexin couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, she felt that her current life was what she wanted, and she didn't know what her life would be like after that, but now everything is slowly developing in a better direction.
Except for one person who hasn't mentioned it for a long time, when he thinks of Xiao Shujun's handsome face, Qin Kexin's heart is like a deer that can't be controlled at all.
Qin Kexin hurriedly shook his head, wanting to drive Xiao Shujun out of his mind, now he only needs to think about the business of Yinsitang.
Originally, Qin Kexin thought that life had slowly entered the right track, but who knew that the next day, someone would come and give Qin Kexin a resounding slap.
In the early morning, what woke Qin Kexin up was not the pleasant sound of birdsong, but the noise at the door.
Qin Kexin woke up from her sleep in a daze, vaguely heard the noisy sound outside, rubbed her eyes reluctantly, woke up from her sleep, and walked out after dressing and washing.
As soon as he walked to the door, the crying became more obvious, Qin Kexin was a little confused, and looked towards the door.
In front of the vermilion wooden door stood an old woman, who was about fifty or sixty years old, with a wrinkled face, and a milk doll of three or four years old beside her.
Standing in front of the old woman was Aunt Mei, who was anxiously gesturing with something at this moment, as if she wanted to explain to the old woman.
"Enough! These black-hearted businessmen! What can't you do to make money? I gave you the material that you used to make other clothes. ”
Hearing this, Qin Kexin couldn't help it, walked forward, looked at the old woman and asked strangely, "Auntie, what's wrong with your such anger?" ”
As soon as the old woman saw that Qin Kexin also came out of this house, she immediately didn't have a good face, and immediately sneered, and glanced at Qin Kexin with disdain.
"You're in league with this stinky girl, aren't you? Say! Where did I get my fabric? ”
Qin Kexin didn't quite understand, so she could only turn her head to look at Aunt Mei.
"This old woman didn't say that we used her fabric on other people's materials, but we couldn't use up all the materials, and all of them were returned, isn't that all of them smearing us?"
Aunt Mei also looked at Qin Kexin helplessly, doing business, it is inevitable that they will encounter unreasonable customers, and they have no way.
Now the only way is to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, maybe this old woman saw that they were easy to bully in a shop opened by two women, so she came to make trouble.
"I'm telling you, if you don't pay me, don't even think about opening this shop again." While talking, the old woman glared at Qin Kexin and Aunt Mei viciously.
Aunt Mei was anxious, but she couldn't come up with a good solution, but Qin Kexin was not in a hurry.
After a while, Qin Kexin asked unhurriedly, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?" ”
The old woman's face suddenly turned happy, and her eyes rolled and she immediately pretended to be very vicious.
"Don't think about leaving if you don't pay me ten taels of silver today, my material is made of fine cloud silk, and I can't buy a few pieces in the whole city."
The old woman raised her chin triumphantly as she spoke.
But Qin Kexin looked up and down, this old woman didn't look like a rich person no matter how she looked, the old woman's clothes were full of patches, and even the milk doll next to her was wearing only coarse linen clothes, where would any good cloud silk come from?
"That's right, mother-in-law, if you do make clothes from us, and the rest of the clothes are not returned to you, we will return the money for the materials, but please show us the clothes you made."
Qin Kexin had already expected that this mother-in-law was making something out of nothing, otherwise why didn't she even bring a sample to collect debts today?
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Kexin said this, the old woman's face changed suddenly.
In an instant, the old woman was anxious, "What do you mean by this?" Are you afraid that my wife will cheat your money? ”
Qin Kexin smiled unhurriedly, and didn't take the old woman's anxious eyes to heart, "We have to pay attention to evidence in everything, since you said that we deducted your materials, then please bring the clothes that were ordered at that time, we have an account here, and you will know after comparing with you." ”
Who knew that the old woman refused, so she fell to the ground with a thud, and the milk doll was so frightened that she cried when she saw this picture.
"Help! This black-hearted businessman has beaten someone! My old waist, my legs! ”
The old woman, who fell to the ground with a thud, immediately began to shout.
At this time, Qin Kexin's heart tightened, it's over, this is the encounter with porcelain.
Sure enough, the old woman's cry immediately attracted a bunch of onlookers.
Those people's eyes looked Qin Kexin and Aunt Mei up and down, and then looked at the moaning old woman on the ground, and immediately began to spit on the two of them.
"The two little girls look very decent, but I didn't expect to do such a thing behind their backs."
"Probably not, right? I have ordered clothes from them before, and their workmanship and attitude are quite good. ”
"You know! Such a black-hearted businessman is nothing more than seeing money, you give him enough money, his attitude towards you is good enough, you don't really think that he has this attitude towards every customer, right? ”
A few people began to discuss today's events in whispers.
Qin Kexin and Aunt Mei were surrounded in the middle, their faces were ugly, it seems that this old woman is determined to make trouble today.
Qin Kexin curled her lips coldly, and her eyes fell on the old woman.
"Mother-in-law, we are also all small businesses, we have always upheld honesty first, and we will never do anything like stealing and cheating, if you have to touch this porcelain, I can only go to the government to deal with it."
This is said to the old woman, which is nothing more than to let the old woman know that they are not easy to bully.
But Aunt Mei gently tugged at Qin Kexin's sleeve, you must know that if you go to the official mansion because of this trivial matter, then the reputation of their Silver Silk Hall will not be good.
You have to wear a big hat that deals with the guests.
Qin Kexin doesn't care about this anymore, if she condones this old woman's behavior today, then there will inevitably be more people to follow suit in the future, and at that time, how should this store be opened?
As soon as the old woman heard that Qin Kexin was going to report to the official, her face suddenly changed.
"What does this mean? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you reporting to the official, I'll take advantage of everything I go! ”
The old woman glared at Qin Kexin fiercely, not afraid at all.
But the old woman's trembling hand had already betrayed the nervousness in her heart, and this glance happened to fall into Qin Kexin's eyes.
So Qin Kexin understood that this old woman was here to find fault today.
"Okay, since you don't want to negotiate a solution, then we can only go to the government and let everyone comment, whose fault is this?"
Qin Kexin's neat and neat attitude frightened many people.
Generally, when this newly opened small shop encounters this kind of thing, it can only admit that it is unlucky, and it will definitely not be as tough as Qin Kexin.
If you can offend one less guest, you are a guest.
If it falls into the ears of others, they will also say that their service is not considerate.
Qin Kexin has no such concerns at all, she is a person who is dead and reasonable, if this old woman keeps making trouble today, she plans to report to the official.
As soon as these words were spoken, the old woman's face suddenly changed, and she got up in a daze, hugged her little grandson, and patted the ashes on her body.
"Okay, you are ruthless today, if you don't compensate me for this material, I will not be finished with you!"
The old woman left angrily after saying such a cruel word.
When the people around saw this picture, they immediately began to discuss.
Qin Kexin saw them whispering, and knew that today's incident should have brought a lot of impact to the store.
"Listen to me, the things in our store are already of good quality and low price, everyone can see it, if people often come to make trouble and ask for compensation, then we really can't support our families in a small business."
While speaking, Qin Kexin pretended to hide her face and wiped the tears that did not flow from the corners of her eyes.
Qin Kexin's pitiful appearance quickly won the sympathy of these guests.
