Chapter Forty-Eight: The Shopkeeper of Qin
Shu Ruo didn't understand the ancient clothing industry, so he looked at the clothes in the ready-to-wear shop, and the craftsmanship seemed to be good, and at the same time believed that the proprietress was a person. There were a total of five workers in the garment shop, and Shu Ruo stayed. Two tailors, one is a master who has been a tailor for nearly 30 years, a funny middle-aged uncle Tailor Zhang, and a younger master is Tailor Zhang's apprentice and is already a teacher. The three embroidery girls are about the same age as Sister Qin.
Shu Ruo met with five workers, and roughly introduced himself and learned about their situation. The first month's salary is the same as that given by the previous boss's wife, and from the second one, it will be increased according to the income of the shop, and it will be distributed according to ability. Several people could accept it, so Shu Ruo let them go back and go to work in five days.
After sending off the workers, Shu Ruo walked around the ready-to-wear shop inside and out, thinking about how to decorate it again. When I returned to Jingyixuan, it was already past dinner time.
"Childe, you haven't eaten yet, I've left you food." Sister Qin saw Shu Ruo coming, and after saying hello, she went into the kitchen to give Shu Ruo Zhang Luo something to eat.
"Thank you, Sister Qin!" Shu Ruo sat down at the table in the courtyard.
"Childe, why did you come today! Wherever you go, you don't bring your six sons. "Liuzi is a child after all, he may think that Shu Ruo is good to him, and he is more playful, and he always likes to stick to Shu Ruo. As soon as I saw Shu Ruo, it stuck up.
"Liuzi, have you eaten? Do you want to eat more with your son? Childe went to run errands today and came back. Childe has bought new clothes for the sixth son! As he spoke, he gave the clothes in his hand to Liuzi. Because there were too many, Shu Ruo couldn't take it, so he only took a set of sizes that looked suitable for the six sons. Thinking about tomorrow let them choose for themselves.
"Wow, new clothes, Childe is so good." As he spoke, he gestured with his clothes on himself, "Mother, my son has bought me new clothes." ”
Sister Qin came out with the food and put it in front of Shu Ruo, "Sixth son, it's not big or small." Childe, how can you break the bank to buy clothes for Liuzi! ”
Shu Ruo, who was hungry after a busy day, hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth, chewing while slurring his speech, "Sister Qin, it's okay, everyone has it, but I can't take it, you can get it yourself tomorrow!" ”
"Childe, how can this be done, you have a salary for us, even the six sons have a salary, we have silver, what is lacking can be added by ourselves." Sister Qin wanted to take the clothes in Liuzi's hand and return them to Shu Ruo, but Liuzi ran away with the clothes, and Sister Qin chased after her.
Shu Ruo looked at the scene in front of him and felt very warm and a little homesick. Seeing that the sixth son was about to be caught up, "Sister Qin, stop chasing the sixth son, you go and call Lin Zixuan over, I have something I want to tell you." Although he is there every day, Jing Yixuan is basically watched by Lin Zixuan. Now that there is an extra shop, it is not realistic to manage the ready-to-wear shop by yourself, and after getting along with Sister Qin for more than two months, I feel that Sister Qin should be suitable.
"Childe, are you looking for me?"
Shu Ruo saw Lin Zixuan coming, and motioned for him and Sister Qin to sit down. "Sister Qin, Zixuan, call you over, I have something to say. I took down the ready-to-wear shop next door. After that, I thought about the shop, and I also bought and sold ready-to-wear. Although the two shops are connected, they are different businesses after all, and I want to find a shopkeeper who specializes in running a ready-to-wear store. There is Zixuan in Jingyi Xuan, I am very relieved. Ready-to-wear shop, I want Sister Qin to be the shopkeeper, I don't know if Sister Qin you mind if a woman shows up. ”
Sister Qin was frightened when she heard that she was asked to be the shopkeeper, and said vigorously, "I can't help it, I can't help it......"
"Zixuan, what do you think?" Shu Ruo looked at Lin Zixuan and wanted to hear what he had to say.
Lin Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Childe, Sister Qin works very hard in her study time before the opening of the shop every day, and her accounts are relatively clear, and she does things calmly and clearly, I think she is a good candidate." ”
"Sister Qin, you see that Zixuan said that you can, so don't shirk it. Or do you think you're a woman and don't want to show your face all day, in that case, I won't force you. ”
Sister Qin was still a little hesitant, "No, Childe, I think it's more appropriate for you to hire an experienced shopkeeper." ”
"Sister Qin, you don't help me with this favor, how much silver does it cost to hire a shopkeeper, son, I raise this person who is full of yards, very poor, okay, I just bought a ready-to-wear shop, and the silver has been spent, how can I have extra money to invite someone." It did cost a lot of money today, Shu Ruoyou cried and was poor, and Sister Qin believed it when she heard it.
"Childe, I didn't mean that, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to do well." Sister Qin didn't want her son to spend more money, but she was worried that she was not capable enough and would cause trouble.
"Don't worry about this, you can't do it well, there is Zixuan, and me, we will all help you and learn together." I haven't opened a shop before, you see that Jing Yixuan is not good, thanks to you. ”
Sister Qin thought about it for a while, and said cautiously, "That son, I'll try it first, I will definitely try to do it well." ”
"Shopkeeper Qin, please give me more advice in the future!"
"Thank you, Childe, for the opportunity."
"Where the words. It's still the same sentence that there is meat to eat with the son. ”
Shu Ruo suddenly slapped his thigh, "Oops, Shopkeeper Qin, what should I do if I eat in the future?" I'm going to find another cook, and you'll definitely be busy in the future, and I won't be able to let you cook. We have nothing to eat. Shu Ruo made a bitter face.
"It's okay, Childe, I can still continue cooking."
Lin Zixuan looked at Shu Ruo like that, and said with a smile, "Sister Qin, I definitely don't need you to cook." Childe, why don't you let Sister Qin go and see if there is an aunt who lives by begging like us before, can cook and is willing to come to work with us. It's not that he didn't say that he would directly invite a cook, but Gongzi, who was kind-hearted, looked at Jingyixuan and looked at the people who didn't have the ability to survive in Yanjing, thinking that Gongzi should be willing to give a bite to eat to people who needed help more.
As a modern person, Shu Ruo actually doesn't like buying and selling people at every turn in ancient times, she doesn't want to go to Renyazi to buy a cook, it's too unhuman. I originally wanted to see if I could recruit a chef if I could get a suitable salary. Hearing Lin Zixuan say this, Shu Ruo felt that it was also appropriate, so that he could help one more person. Looking at this quiet and elegant courtyard people, Shu Ruo felt that he would not have come to open a shelter in ancient times.
"That's okay, Sister Qin, you go around tomorrow and see if there is any, if there is no one I will post a job recruitment."
"Okay."
"By the way, tomorrow you organize to take everyone to the ready-to-wear store next door to choose winter clothes, and see if you can buy them for everyone, not enough to go to other shops to buy first. By the way, take stock of the remaining materials in the shop. "It's going to be busy for a while.
"Childe, I can go and take stock tomorrow, and I can buy winter clothes for everyone......"
"Don't, don't talk to Childe about this anymore, your wages are kept to buy what you want, Childe is sent by Childe, don't worry, Childe won't send you clothes or anything all day long, Childe doesn't have so much silver." Sister Qin is very good, but she likes to talk about these things too much, and she doesn't care about them.
Lin Zixuan on the side saw it in his eyes. The longer he knew Childe, the more he felt as if he didn't understand Childe. She can ruin a painting book because of her paintings, and earn two taels of silver less, and she feels distressed for a long time, but many times she squanders it arrogantly. Let's take our group of people who say they are begging for a living under his hands.
Maybe some people will think that the boss of Jing Yixuan is too treacherous, and the people invited are all beggars who don't need to pay for their jobs and just need to give them enough to eat. But in fact, everyone in Jingyixuan felt that Shu Ruo was their great benefactor, not only took them in, but also treated them very well and respectfully, and gave them more wages than outside.
With the experience of opening Jing Yi Xuan, it is much easier to open a ready-to-wear store. It was the original carpenter who was invited to help make some mannequins and clothes display racks. Inside the shop, Shu Ruo combined the ancient style with modern convenience, drew a design drawing, and also invited the previous decoration workers. Even if Shu Ruo adds money and asks people to rush to work, it will take ten days before they can open.
Shu Ruo was not in a hurry, first drew a few design drawings of the clothes, thinking that the tailor embroidery girl would come in five days, and let them work in the back yard first.
But the same question arises, what is the name of the shop? Shu Ruo's consistent style is that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and he won't think about it for ten days anyway.
