Chapter 358: Winter Comes
Qin Xiang likes plush, whether it is artificial or natural, he will not refuse.
Of course, she is not a supporter of wild animal hunting.
However, in ancient times it was useless for you to ask for this. If you can't eat, who cares if you're not environmentally friendly.
What's more, this is a difficult time when man is more alive than beasts.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiyan had been relatively peaceful in recent years, and the productivity had gradually increased, the people's food and clothing would have been a huge problem.
Therefore, Orion is now just an ordinary profession that can no longer be ordinary.
For example, her father-in-law, didn't she also choose Orion as a profession when she hung the seal and left.
Unfortunately, most of the hunters used bows and arrows, so the resulting skins were somewhat mutilated. And the animal breeding industry in this era has not yet developed, so why bother to breed what can be obtained at will in the wild?
Moreover, fur has always been exclusive to the rich, and has nothing to do with ordinary people.
The customers she receives on the water side are also mainly wealthy people, but in addition to the water side, she has already prepared a new store this year, called Ni Shang Court.
Don't do high-end, only do parity. In this way, the money of ordinary consumers is also sent into her purse.
If you can make money from your own family, why give outsiders a chance.
Sidi is good at raising cattle and sheep, and also has his own set of slaughtering methods, but he can leave a lot of good skins.
Thinking of the tainned lambskin and calfskin, whether it is made into shoes or leather clothes, it is a good choice, it can keep warmer and the texture is lighter, Qin Xiang squinted with satisfaction.
She had already signed a contract with Sidi's merchants, and was just waiting for the skin to come to her door.
The method of concocting leather on Xidi's side is still a little better than that of Xiyanlai, but this kind of leather still needs to be reprocessed.
She is now just waiting for a large number of skins to arrive, so that the factory can be opened.
The sweaters that have been accumulated have been piled up in several warehouses, just waiting for the season to go on sale.
The jacquard machine she used before also came in handy, and the fabrics produced were of high quality, which was very suitable for autumn clothes. It's a pity that the output rate of the loom is not high, otherwise it would be possible to make a small profit in the summer.
Of course, it is not easy to make a lot of money in the clothing industry. It has been said that profitable businesses are written into the criminal code.
In this era, there are not so many restrictions, and if you want to make huge profits, you have to get some illegal.
Qin Xiang didn't want to deal with the government, and he didn't want to go to great lengths to make those black money. If you run a boat, you can make more money, but the risk is too great. She likes the joy of counting money, and she doesn't want to put the lives of her men at risk.
The one who runs the boat is fighting for her life, and she can do some small business. Moreover, as long as her business is doing well and her production capacity is expanded, she can not only sell in the west, but also in several other countries.
"By the way, what happened to the weaving mill in Cold City?"
Xiaoyu was scribbling on the booklet with a charcoal pencil, and after listening to her words, she recalled it carefully, and said, "It has been built and is recruiting." It won't be long before it's ready for production. ”
"This relationship is good, so let's divide the business of Nishang Pavilion to this weaving factory."
The weaving factory in Hancheng was used to fight the Zhou family, and it was impossible for Qin Xiang to put the core technology in this factory. The Zhou family was shameless, sending people to steal technology, not to mention, and almost hurt her workers when the jacquard machine had a problem. With these two points alone, she couldn't bear it.
It's just that she has been very busy and can't spare her hands to deal with the Zhou family. After she returned from Fucheng, she planned magazines and started newspapers. Otherwise, with her temperament, she wouldn't have seen such a beam-jumping clown jumping around.
And the Zhou family didn't jump in front of her, Qin Xiang forgot about it a little.
But the Zhou family's harm to her Qin Xiang is real, and according to her analysis of the Zhou family, the other party will definitely not give up. The Chen family and others in the past are the best lesson.
"Well, put a piece of fabric in the shop first. Only sell to high-level customers, do customized classes. ”
The upper market is the best way to make a name for yourself. Although there will be a certain amount of sales in subordinate sales, it will not be of much help to increase popularity.
People of the same class don't care where you buy the clothes you wear, they care more about whether today's food is fresh and whether the price is right.
In addition to making money, the daily life of the elite class is to spend money to enjoy. Like those nobles in the capital, their favorite thing to do in private is to hold banquets.
So much so that people with good markets can not eat a meal at home for a month when they encounter a social month.
The last time Qin Xiang went to Madam Mo's banquet, he also accumulated a certain amount of contacts. A few days ago, someone posted a post to let her play, but just in time for her to feel unwell, she pushed it. Now that I think about it, I turned it out again.
"Go prepare a few posts, I'm going to get a few people."
If you want to expand the influence of these brocades, it is most appropriate to invite these ladies. Mrs. Mo is the 'courtesan' who loves to participate in banquets in the capital, so I haven't seen anyone whose banquet is missing her.
Hanaro has already won the hearts of some customers, and it is time for the more complex craftsmanship of Aya Nishiki to appear in front of everyone's eyes.
Qin Xiang's post immediately received the response of Mrs. Mo and others.
As soon as Mrs. Mo heard that there was a new material, or an exclusive service that could only be enjoyed by senior members, she immediately decided that this was tailor-made for her.
It just so happened that she was going to Mrs. Yang's place, and she brought good news with her.
"Sister Chen also received the post? But that's great, we'll be able to go together then. Mrs. Yang's gentle face was also a little more excited, "Sister Chen's flower and bird skirt before made me greedy, but the customization time is too long, and I haven't gotten it yet." ”
Mrs. Mo made a big splash with that flower and bird skirt.
The people in the capital laughed at her for being a village girl, and no matter how good the dress was, it was a waste to wear it on her, saying that she was full of earthy smell, and even if she used the nectar of heaven, she couldn't wash it off.
Why did Mrs. Mok become a loyal customer of Qin Kee? There's another hiccup here. When she went to 'Xiang' for the first time, it was the makeup advice given by Qin Xiang, and by the way, she also helped her choose a suitable hairstyle.
Qin Xiang didn't belittle her aesthetics, just told her that it wasn't suitable.
"The mainstream aesthetic can only represent one trend and is not necessarily suitable for everyone. For example, the thin waist skirt that was popular last year is used to highlight a woman's slender waist. But the cut of this skirt is very problematic, as long as the waist and crotch are slightly protruding, wearing this skirt is like a gourd that has not grown well. ”
When Mrs. Mo heard this, her eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again, expressing her approval.
She doesn't look like a weak willow Fufeng, but she also wants the skirts that others wear. I asked the tailor to make one, and I didn't know how ugly it was until I got up.
This skirt is very wrapping, but when worn on Mrs. Mo, it not only shows that her waist is thick, but also that she is a little shorter.
"Madame has a slender waist and excellent hips......
Hearing this, Mrs. Mo's face turned slightly red. How can anyone say anything in broad daylight...... Buttocks.
"This kind of figure is excellent no matter what you wear, even if it is a skirt that wraps around the body, it looks good. But the premise must be that the skirt is cut properly. ”
Mrs. Mo didn't understand the next words, and the whole person was dizzy. By the time she was wheeled into the Premium Lounge and remodeled from head to toe, she finally understood what was best for her.
Mrs. Mo has a graceful figure, her complexion was sunburned when she was in the countryside, and she looked sallow. Taking advantage of her slightly plump body, she looks like a peasant woman who has been working in the fields for many years. But who knows that Mrs. Mo's home is Jiangnan. The reason why she met her husband was also because she was persecuted.
Later, the evil woman who killed people was solved, and Mrs. Mo also returned home. Later, despite the opposition of his family, he insisted on marrying the Mo adults who were not in the right household.
Later, although her complexion improved a little, her figure was natural, and it could not be reduced by losing weight in the later stage. What's more, don't say anything during the day. At night, her father-in-law loved her very much.
Qin Xiang's match for her slightly reduced the sense of oppression she caused, and showed her advantages without a trace.
Especially the customized flower and bird skirt, which lined her slim waist. The walk is simply graceful and affectionate, and I don't know how many people's eyes have been confused.
As the first one to get a flower and bird skirt, Mrs. Mo naturally came out on top.
"Hmph, what did those little hooves say back then? Don't want to wear the same dress as me? Mrs. Mo rolled her eyes and said disdainfully: "Don't look at their level, they also wear this skirt." ”
Mrs. Yang was amused by her: "Sister Chen, don't go out and say this, otherwise you will really be mad." ”
Mrs. Mo snorted and said, "I don't dare to go outside and say it." If you look back, you really get angry with me, and you can't spend money on asking a doctor to catch medicine. With their cheeky appearance, they might have to make me pay for it. My family's white money can't be cheaper than these people. ”
"That's it. What kind of identity do we have, they also deserve to play with us. I didn't see the post that Xiang'er sent us, but they didn't have their share. Mrs. Yang meant something, and it was Zhou's who was talking about it.
Mrs. Wang Zhou is the first one in the capital who does not deal with Mrs. Mo, and she has always had a posture of not having me. It is also clear to everyone that if one of them attends a banquet, the other will not be invited by default.
To say that this Mrs. Wang has some relationship with Qin Xiang, she is a side branch of the Zhou family in Hancheng. married well, and his identity also rose, and he used to have to watch the face of his family to live. Now every New Year's holiday, you can receive a gift from your family. For Mrs. Wang, these are big faces.
Since the fight on the water side has become famous in Xijing, there are people in the capital who are proud to be able to wear clothes on the water side, and Mrs. Wang is not pleasing to Mrs. Mo everywhere.
Who made her and Mrs. Mo the same age, but Mrs. Mo gave birth to two children and was still slender, like a two hundred girls. But after Mrs. Wang gave birth to a child, the former Jiangnan woman was born into a northern girl. Even if she doesn't dare to eat an extra grain of rice per ton, her body shape just hasn't changed, but she misses her.
No matter how beautiful the dress is, it is no wonder that you are jealous of Mrs. Mo. She could still laugh at Mrs. Mo's previous dress, saying that she was a mud-legged woman in the countryside and didn't understand the difference between high and low. But as Mrs. Mo became more and more beautiful, she regarded Mrs. Mo's complete transformation on the water side as an enemy.
