Chapter 269: Tracking
Bai Xiaochen followed closely, it turned out that these people were originally embroiderers from several famous embroidery houses in the city.
Bai Xiaochen hurriedly went back and told Rong Ruofeng about the discovery of these embroiderers, Rong Ruofeng gritted his teeth: "No wonder, I said why business has not been good recently, it turns out that these spies have told those embroidery houses all the secrets of my business!"
"It's better to quit them all, and then want to know the operation of the embroidery village, it's not so easy."
Bai Xiaochen shook his head and said: "It's quite inappropriate to resign, firstly, the embroidery village was newly opened, and it was not long before recruiting a group of workers but they were all resigned in order to attract everyone's attention, which has an impact on the reputation of our embroidery village, and secondly, a large part of the workers are diligent and powerful, and it is a loss for us to quit them."
After hearing this, Rong Ruofeng nodded and said, "That's what you said, I'll deal with their affairs."
As she spoke, she picked up the roster and looked at it one by one, and when she saw the names of those girls, she drew a cross line without hesitation, and said to Bai Xiaochen with her chin in her hand: "These girls can't be used anymore, and others have to wait for me to investigate, we are not a charity hall, and we don't tolerate workers who are lazy." β
"That's natural, tomorrow you will quit these spies first, and it's not too late for others to see their abilities before making plans, don't worry about this time." Bai Xiaochen said.
So the next day, Rong Ruofeng excused herself that she couldn't use them anymore because the business was not good, but she not only opened the monthly money in advance, but also gave the monthly money in full, maybe knowing that the matter was exposed, the embroiderer took the monthly money and left without care.
Rong Ruofeng watched them leave the courtyard and disappear at the gate of the courtyard, and then let out a long breath and rubbed their heads.
I've finally driven all these spies away, so I'm going to have to be careful in the future.
Since the resignation of those embroiderers, Rong Ruofeng tried his best to recruit some embroiderers, so that those masters took the new embroiderers to learn for a period of time, and the skills of the embroiderers became more and more perfect, and the skills of the embroiderers progressed rapidly.
The flowers and birds embroidered by the embroidery village are lifelike, and have been loved by many people, and the ordinary clothing is slightly modified by Rong Ruofeng, and it is extremely beautiful to wear on the body, and many people can't put it down.
More and more people come to buy Rong Ruofeng's handmade clothes, and Rong Ruofeng has a happy face all day long.
Yang walked out of the door, looked at the signboard on the door and suggested: "Ruofeng, I also think that the door on this door should be replaced, this signboard looks like we are selling antiques, and it looks lifeless."
The others are specially made, carved and embroidered birds and hollowed, which looks very high-grade. Their signboard, by contrast, is just a wooden board painted with black lacquer soup powder. It's a bit shabby.
Rong Ruofeng also ran out of the courtyard, looked at the signboard at the door and said, "Mother is right, let's change it."
Yang said again: "You see that the signboard on the door of the embroidery village at the east end of the alley is carved with hollow flowers, and it looks different when it is brushed with gold dust, and it feels like entering a high-ranking official's mansion, do you think we should make a picture like this?"
Rong Ruofeng stretched out his fingers and counted, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't you dare to spend the money indiscriminately recently, you have to buy fabrics, and you have to purchase some embroidery threads, and you will soon send monthly money to the workers, can't we take the silver and spend it on this door signboard, can't you just take the door signboard and look like a grade?"
As he spoke, he raised his head and carefully looked at the signboard at the door, Yang looked at the signboard and asked Rong Ruofeng next to him: "Then what kind of change do you say?" Change to a new black lacquer plate with gold lettering on it? β
Rong Ruofeng shook his head and disagreed with Yang's statement: "This can't be done, this signboard must be changed, this kind of signboard is not up to grade, maybe people will think that we sell some junk goods, which is not good for the reputation of our embroidery village." Let's change the signboard carved out of red nan wood like this, brush the lacquer to look both conspicuous and not ostentatious, both dignified and not clichΓ©d, what do you think? β
"That's good! Let's settle down like this, let's use red nanmu to play a signboard, brush the lacquer and burn the big red letters, it must be a dignified and generous signboard. Yang touched Rong Ruofeng's head and said with approval in his eyes.
After discussing, Rong Ruofeng took Yang's hand and walked into the courtyard, just when he met Bai Xiaochen coming out of the house, he saw Rong Ruofeng holding Yang's hand and walked in, so he greeted: "Ruofeng, just came back from a circle outside?"
Rong Ruofeng hurriedly smiled and said: "My mother and I see that the signboard on the door is really not good, so I want to change to a red nanmu, I wonder if Brother Bai can know the person who plays the signboard?"
Bai Xiaochen nodded, remembering that he really knew such a person, and said: "I do know this person, there is a century-old shop outside the city, the master in the store is quite skilled, he specializes in making door signs, the signboards he made are really magnificent and elegant, do you want to go with me?" It just so happens that I have time to take you to meet the old master. β
Rong Ruofeng was so excited that his eyes also lit up, "Take me there, Brother Bai is also free now, so I won't be able to get out if I'm busy for a while." β
"Okay, I'll take you there." Bai Xiaochen shook his head and said with a smile in his eyes.
The two of them went to the edge of the city, and soon they found the century-old shop on the central street of the city, and they saw that the door of the old shop was full of all kinds of signs that had been made, and the signs could be seen to be carefully worked.
The carved hollow flowers are exquisite, and the signature lace is carved delicately and lovely.
"This is it."
Bai Xiaochen walked into the store, Rong Ruofeng followed closely, and there was a young man in the store, carving a piece of wood one by one.
Rong Ruofeng stepped forward and asked, "May I ask if Master Yu is here?" We would like to ask him to make a signboard for our embroidery village. β
The man raised his head and looked at Rong Ruofeng in surprise and said, "That's my father, I haven't seen him for several days." I can't find him often, I don't know where he's gone, maybe he'll be back in a few days. β
Rong Ruofeng and Bai Xiaochen quickly exchanged glances, and then Rong Ruofeng leaned over again and whispered: "This big brother, we really want to make a good-looking red nanmu embroidery signboard, money is not a problem, you see we brought all the money."
As he spoke, he took out a bag from the placket of his coat and opened it, and poured out some broken silver at once, and the young man looked at it and said, "This silver is really a lot, but it's just ............."
But he didn't be happy for long, his face pulled down again and said, "It's just that my father doesn't know when he will come back, if you are willing to wait, just wait here for a while, if it really doesn't work, you will come back tomorrow."
So saying, he put the silver on the table, and went to carve it on his own.
Bai Xiaochen and Rong Ruofeng looked at each other, they really couldn't figure out what the reason was here, so they walked out of the store, stood at the door of the store and began to discuss what to do about this matter.
