Chapter Eighty-Four: Another Big Order
Soon, the misunderstanding was resolved.
Yu Hua arched his hand to Yu's mother and Li Bo and apologized.
"A table, it's okay, I'm here to ask my sister-in-law to make a dance dress, please don't mind."
Li Bo also arched his hand at Yu Hua, feeling annoyed that he had been negligent.
Shen Yueying is a woman after all, and when she comes to this kind of venue, she may not be able to be rumored by everyone.
"I also have no choice, so I want to ask my sister-in-law for help."
Yu Hua frowned, thinking that the rumors in Yujia Village were intensifying, I am afraid that Shen Yueying would not be able to be quiet, and this girl would not know how to hide a thing or two.
"It's okay, I'll help the lady explain clearly."
The three of them discussed it, agreed on the details, and prepared to hold a small concert in five days.
"Set up the open-air stage and do as I say. The songs and dances of the new rehearsal are all good, think of a good name, make a big declaration, and hold a concert! ”
But on the fifth day, I have to make 32 sets of dance clothes and prepare for the auction, I'm afraid it's too rushed.
But she had no other choice, there were only nine days left, and the deadline for buying a shop was approaching.
However, at this time, another business came to the door.
"Let's order another twenty costumes, this is a deposit, one hundred taels of silver, and when it's done, I'll give you another hundred taels of silver."
The head of the class was full of joy, and he became generous when he took out the silver, and it seemed that the business had taken a turn for the better.
Shen Yueying was a little embarrassed, with these twenty costumes, how could she be able to make them?
"I'm sorry, I've already received an order from someone else to make thirty-two dance suits. I'm afraid the costumes can't be made in time. ”
"Shen Xiuniang, is this silver less, I can add another fifty taels!"
Hearing this, the class leader immediately took another fifty taels of silver and forced it into Shen Yueying's hand, with a bit of pleading in his tone.
"Little Lao'er's business depends on Shen Xiuniang! You must save the little old man! ”
Shen Yueying was stunned, isn't it just making costumes? As for the thing that became a lifesaver?
However, these two hundred and fifty ...... She didn't want to be.
"Class master, what's going on? Isn't that the silver you earned? ”
"Shen Xiuniang, thanks to the costumes you made, it just so happened that Li Yuanwai's mother was looking for an opera troupe to sing, and when she saw the new costumes, she liked it very much, so she asked us to change into a new outfit to sing next month, but we were rewarded with a lot of money, and even the deposit was paid."
The class leader's face was full of ecstasy, but he turned worried, and looked at Shen Yueying with a blank look.
"If you don't make costumes, how are we going to sing?"
Shen Yueying smacked her tongue, it seems that this costume has to be accepted.
But she couldn't keep it busy.
Seeing that Shen Yueying's expression was full of hesitation, the class leader hurriedly stuffed another ten taels of silver over and bowed to Shen Yueying.
"Shen Xiuniang, whether our troupe can come back to life will watch this play! You can put our list in the back row. There is still a month to go, and please say yes! ”
Shen Yueying looked at the one hundred and sixty taels of silver in her hand, and felt that it was not good to refuse, so she agreed.
"Okay, then your list might have to be lined up in the back."
The class leader thanked him and left happily.
Shen Yueying looked at the silver in her hand and felt that she should not hold an auction.
But thinking that she only has six hundred and thirty taels of silver in her hand now, she feels that she still has to fight.
Li Bo gave her a deposit of three hundred taels, and the original one hundred and fifty taels of silver in her hand, plus this one hundred and six, plus the money earned in the two days, excluding the cost, it was six hundred and thirty taels of silver.
She was bleeding all at once.
Now, with so many orders and auctions, she just can't keep ten hands busy.
Why don't you go and get an embroiderer?
After Shen Yueying inquired around, she learned that in this vicinity, in addition to herself, the most outstanding embroiderer was Liu Xiuniang from the embroidery village, and she looked at a few of Liu Xiuniang's works and felt satisfied.
At least the embroiderer is enough to cooperate with himself, and as for other work, such as stitching and cutting, you can hire a cheap embroidery apprentice, which can save a lot of money.
After asking for a clear direction, she immediately went to Xiuzhuang and prepared to pay Liu Xiuniang to cooperate with her.
After entering the door and clarifying her intentions, the maid asked her to wait in the yard and said that she would ask Liu Xiuniang for advice.
Shen Yueying waited for about half a cup of tea before she saw the maid come out again.
"Miss Shen, we said that we can cooperate."
"That's great, get her out." Shen Yueying was in a happy mood, she didn't expect this trip to be so smooth, she was also in a hurry, she just wanted to be as fast as possible.
"But ......"
The maid stretched her voice, and then said: "Our embroidery lady said that she easily does not cooperate with others, and this time she broke the rules specifically for Miss Shen, two hundred taels of cooperation fees, and no bargaining." ”
"Are you sure it's two hundred taels?"
Shen Yueying couldn't believe her ears, it was only five hundred taels of silver to make dance clothes, if she wanted to ask Liu Xiuniang to pay another two hundred taels, plus the apprentice's wages and the cost of fabrics, wouldn't she lose money and make money?
"Miss Shen heard it right, it's two hundred taels of silver, and our embroidery lady specially instructed us not to bargain."
In the last three words, the maid also deliberately added an accent.
Isn't that a starting price for sitting on the ground?
Two hundred taels is absolutely impossible, but if you can't invite Liu Xiuniang, I'm afraid that she will be in a bit of a hurry by herself, and she has to prepare for the auction, which is too anxious.
Shen Yueying was a little unwilling and asked, "Is it really impossible to bargain anymore?" ”
"Can't!"
The maid is categorical.
Looking at her attitude, it must have been specially instructed by Liu Xiuniang, Shen Yueying knew that she was bored if she continued to stay, so she sighed and got up to leave.
If she really can't hire someone, she can only hire more helpers, only responsible for the core embroidery part, and let the apprentice complete the rest.
The next day, Shen Yueying was walking home with a bunch of apprentices to buy embroidery bandages, and when she passed by Yun's embroidery shop, she suddenly heard someone mention her name, and couldn't help but stop and looked over in surprise.
I saw a middle-aged businessman wearing a blue brocade robe with ingots looking at her with disdain, as if he had deliberately said it to her.
"If it weren't for this Liu Xiuniang who didn't go for something, the county lady's wedding dress list would have been able to make Shen Yueying's yellow-haired girl win?"
"Dream on her! Liu Xiuniang has been doing this for many years, and experience alone is not something that Shen Yueying can compare! ”
The owner of the shop, Boss Huang, was boasting about himself, and Liu Xiuniang on the side smiled slightly, and also saw Shen Yueying.
"Yes, a yellow-haired girl, and she wants to ask me to do things for her! Why? ”
Shen Yueying rolled her eyes, and suddenly became angry.
This boss is purely malicious competition, she went to invite Liu Xiuniang yesterday and didn't invite her, and today he dug Liu Xiuniang over!
Is this deliberate because she wants to open an embroidery shop?
It's normal to praise your own embroidery, but what's the matter with stepping on a handful?
I want to let myself carry a sedan chair for Liu Xiuniang, but he thinks of it!
