Chapter 65, Can't Reach (1st Update)
Father-in-law Liu entered the Splendid Workshop on the last day of the month, and Zeng Rong was busy in the workshop at that time, and he didn't see Father-in-law Liu enter the door.
It wasn't until a maid came to call Ah Mei out that Zeng Rong noticed this, found a reason to be respectful and walked out, only to see Ah Mei enter the east wing, and the maid stood at the door, obviously not wanting outsiders to enter.
At this time, it was not suitable for Zeng Rong to stand under the porch to peep or eavesdrop, so she turned around and went to the thatched house in the backyard, and when she came back from the thatched house, she saw two maids and two eunuchs each carrying a tray of embroidery into the east wing.
From this, Zeng Rong concluded that the person who came must be the father-in-law Liu, but unfortunately, the people inside did not speak loudly, and Zeng Rong couldn't get too close, so he had to go back to the workshop in a proper manner.
After touching two pillars of incense, Ah Mei came back, with a smile on her face and a glint in her eyes that could not be concealed, but she didn't say anything, but Zeng Rong noticed that she glanced at herself at least three times.
Seeing this, Zeng Rong guessed eight or nine points, most of the things just now have something to do with her, and Bao Buqi is what the father-in-law Liu likes in her, but because Zeng Rong is really busy alone, it is very likely that the shopkeeper will let Amei share some of it for her.
Reasoning, this is understandable, after all, the shopkeeper has to consider the livelihood of the entire embroidery workshop, and the most important thing is that this matter will not affect Zeng Rong's interests.
Sure enough, Zeng Rong quickly confirmed his guess.
After dinner, Zeng Rong was going to take Ah Tao to the willow tree in the backyard to observe how the cicadas were lying on the leaves, but Ah Meilai told her that it was the shopkeeper who was looking for her.
When Zeng Rong entered the east wing, the shopkeeper Yu was sitting on the Luohan Collapse flipping through an account book, saw Zeng Rong, motioned Zeng Rong to sit down, and pushed the account book in front of Zeng Rong, "This is what you have done this month, you can see for yourself, right?" ”
"So soon, a month?" Zeng Rongmo calculated and took the account book.
Seeing this account book, Zeng Rong learned that the Splendid Workshop made a separate account book for each embroiderer, and Zeng Rong's embroidery every time he handed in was recorded, and the wages were also marked, and there was a summary on the last day of the month.
Zeng Rong also had a rough number of the work he had done, so he glanced at the number of pieces, and pushed the account book over, "One piece is not bad, but this amount of money seems to be more." ”
Yu Yunqing smiled slightly, Zeng Rong's shrewdness was expected by her, and it was also unexpected, because from Zeng Rong's embroidery and words this month, she had already discovered that this girl had a maturity and mind of different ages, unexpectedly because Zeng Rong was the most special one among the people she had come into contact with over the years, for this reason, she also specially came to Bai to inquire about Zeng Rong's specific origin.
Who knew that it was okay not to inquire, this inquiry, there were more doubts in her heart.
Fortunately, Yunqing is not a person who likes to drill the horns of the bull, her purpose is to take care of the Splendid Workshop, as long as Zeng Rong does not do things that endanger the Splendid Workshop, what does her ability have to do with who learns?
Not to mention, she still has to ask her now.
"That's right, our rule here is to embroider a silk handkerchief for twenty wen, but if the pattern is chic, you can add a few wen appropriately, and the purse is the same."
"Huh?" This is a surprise for Zeng Rong, because all her patterns are designed by herself, some of them do take some thought, and some of them only add or subtract a little on the basis of the former.
This is also the reason why some silk handkerchiefs can be sold for 25 wen and some can only be sold for 20 wen, but she is not wronged, after all, it is also very laborious to design new patterns.
"Also, we like the styles and patterns of your purses, so each purse will give you a hundred yuan design fee, but there is one point, you are too slow to embroider alone, and you can't catch up with the sale, so from tomorrow you will add two people to embroider this purse with you, how about it?"
Although the other party's words were inquiry, the tone was unquestionable, thinking of the three glances that Amei had just given her, Zeng Rong also understood that she had no choice but to refuse.
"Naturally, it's the best, I have to figure out the patterns and draw the patterns myself, and I can only make one purse a day at most, which is really slow." Zeng Rong smiled and nodded.
Yu Yunqing saw that Zeng Rong was so knowledgeable, and the smile on his face was also a little sincere, "I remember you said that you came with your sister, presumably you also need money to live, the rules of our embroidery workshop are to close the account and pay salaries on the last day at the end of each month, of course, you can also not withdraw it first, wait to save a piece to make up an integer and then get a silver ticket, as you like." ”
"Well, I'll get it this month, and I'll talk about it next month." Zeng Rong really needs some change to live, and the meeting gifts given to her by the Xu family are all silver ingots, and she doesn't want to move for the time being if there are still ten taels left.
Yu Yunqing nodded, picked up the abacus and pulled it a few times again, and came up with a number, three thousand seven hundred and twenty wen, this money is more than Zeng Rong expected, therefore, she only plans to take the zero first, and the rest can be kept for a whole day, and when she has enough ten taels of silver, she can get a silver ticket, and the silver saved is not easy to hide.
After all, she lives in someone else's house now, and Zeng Hua is at home alone every day, so she is really not at ease.
Returning to the workshop with a few strings of money, Amei stepped forward with a smile, "Get paid?" How much? ”
"Okay, a little bit more than I thought." Zeng Rong didn't want to hide it from everyone, she guessed that Ah Mei must have known it a long time ago, but she didn't tell her about these rules.
And Ah Tao must not know this, because she has never formally painted patterns herself, and she has drawn those simple patterns embroidered by others, so she should not have taken the design fee.
But Amei is different, she once asked Zeng Rong to help her write a poem.
Ah Mei saw Zeng Rong put the money in her hand in one go, and took out the key to open the cabinet, obviously she didn't have any dislike or dislike for her, so she stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Did the shopkeeper tell you?" ”
"Say, what's this, you earn yours, I earn mine, Yu shopkeeper said, as long as my patterns and patterns have no precedent, pay me a design fee." Zeng Rong pretended not to care.
In fact, she vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but now she couldn't find out, and her hand was not long enough, so what she could do now was to dispel Amei's doubts and see if she could get something out of her mouth.
Sure enough, when Amei heard her say this, she was happy and stepped forward to hug her, but she forgot that she was holding a few strings of money in her hand, so as soon as she stretched out her hand, two strings of money fell to the ground, one of which happened to hit her foot.
"Ouch." Ah Mei screamed, but quickly covered her mouth again, but it was too late, and several people immediately looked over.
Zeng Rong didn't want to say anything, so he hurriedly put things into the cabinet, locked the cabinet, pushed Amei back to his position, and continued the unfinished work.
