Chapter 52: The Opening Ceremony
After Xia Sihan put away the contract, the splendid cloth village sent all the fabrics, and now it is all complete.
"So, let's start today. The working hours of our garment factory are from morning to evening, and I will take care of the food at noon. You may take one day off every seven days, but you will take turns resting. If you don't finish the embroidery, you can't take it back, understand? ”
Several people nodded again and again, the salary and the hour of work are very good, looking at the capital, even if it is Lingyun Pavilion, it is only five taels of silver a month, as for the clothes sold, there is no reward, let alone taking care of the food. It is Xia Sihan's condition that can be regarded as preferential treatment, and I am grateful in my heart.
Xia Sihan is only looking at Hu Yifei's face, after all, these people were introduced by him, and he naturally trusts their abilities. As for wages, if the wedding dress is popular, then the silver money must be indispensable.
The reason why Xia Sihan dared to offer such conditions was only because the house was her own, and the food was also her own, so it didn't cost much, so she dared to do it. If it were someone else's, I'm afraid that the rent alone would be a lot of money.
The embroidery girl and the cloth have arrived, and the contract has been signed, Xia Sihan's heart has finally settled. I was taking care of the shop all day, and someone from the neighborhood came to inquire, and she also smiled and told her that it would open tomorrow.
It didn't take long for the street to spread, and the shop that had been closed for a long time was finally about to open, and it was still specialized in wedding dresses. In this year, any new store opening will attract good deeds, and Sijin Garment is no exception.
Xia Sihan is quite satisfied with these conditions, what she wants is to talk about it, and she should advertise her store for free. It would be even better if everyone in the capital could know about it!
However, there are only four ready-made wedding dresses that can be sold in the store. This is still 3 pieces that she has made in the wake of staying up late, plus one made by the embroidery girls today, the number is indeed a little less, but it is better than the new style.
Xia Sihan is confident that the opening tomorrow will be a blockbuster!
The next day, Li Jinyan really asked Hu Yifei for leave, and made a special trip to wait until the auspicious time to open before leaving. Because Li's mother didn't want him to be seen, she greeted Li Jinyan in the shop in a cloth suit, and only changed her clothes and went to Gyeonggi Wei after the opening.
In the sound of crackling firecrackers, Xia Sihan and Li Jinyan teamed up to remove the red cloth on the signboard, and Sijin Garment opened from today.
"If you have time, you can come in and have a look, Sijin Clothing specializes in wedding dresses, the style is absolutely novel, and you only have one of each!" Xia Sihan's words made the onlookers very curious, and they went in to see what was going on, and when they saw that there were only four wedding dresses, they couldn't help but shake their heads, but they were surprised when they saw the style.
These wedding dresses were really different, they were also embroidered, but they were not complicated at all, and they had never seen them before.
"It's so beautiful, my daughter will get married next month, and the wedding dress is there, but this one is obviously more suitable!" In the midst of the admiration, a woman asked, "How is this wedding dress sold?" ”
"These are ordinary, thirty taels a piece!"
Xia Sihan's voice made everyone inhale, thirty taels a piece! This is all in time for the average family's harvest in a year. Fortunately, this is the capital, there is no shortage of rich people, and the lively women are also honest people, hesitating again and again, she pointed to the first wedding dress made by Xia Sihan and said: "I want this, wrap it up for me." ”
Xia Sihan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took off the wedding dress and wrapped it for her, and thirty taels was in hand. Seeing this, everyone also sighed, this wedding dress is indeed beautiful, but the price is not something that ordinary people can hope for.
But apparently they all underestimated the world of the rich, and within two hours, the remaining three wedding dresses were sold, a total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Then a notice was posted in the store, Sijin Clothing only makes wedding dresses, and all wedding dresses are priced according to specifications, which need to be customized in advance, and one price per piece.
Xia Sihan's Sijin clothing soon spread all over the streets and alleys, saying that there was a shop specializing in wedding dresses in the city, the boss was very smart, and the style of the wedding dress was also very novel, even if it was Lingyun Pavilion, it might not be able to compare.
In just one day, the reputation of Sijin clothing spread. Xia Sihan didn't rush to make clothes, but only asked the embroidery girls to embroider all the patterns, and the final splicing part was completed by himself.
As soon as it opened today, she gained a lot, and Xia Sihan's heart was full of joy. Despite this, Xia Sihan has never forgotten the matter of marrying a daughter in the Guogong Mansion. How to make the young lady of the Guogong Mansion see the style of her wedding dress is the most important problem at the moment. It's just that she's just a small garment shop owner, how can she meet the high-ranking daughter?
Xia Sihan never thought that one day she would worry about such a trivial matter. In her previous life, she had people come to her door every day to ask for a meeting, although her purpose was not pure and her mind was not right. Now it's different, it seems that in addition to worrying about the style, you also have to think about how to make friends with the powerful.
After lunch, Sijin Garment came again. Xia Sihan heard the sound of someone entering the door and was about to go out to greet him, but saw a familiar figure.
"Ruby! Over here! Xia Sihan greeted him with a smile.
Hongyu was stunned for a moment when she saw her, and then said in surprise: "Miss, is this really your shop?" ”
"Yes, if you are interested, you can try it, I am still short of manpower here, and there is not much work for the time being."
Xia Sihan's words made Hongyu dumbfounded, she remembered that Xia Sihan seemed to have said that she had seen Yanluo soft yarn before, and there was still a trace of doubt in her heart. At this time, Hongyu's heart was full of surprise and admiration.
Hongyu naturally agreed, and immediately signed a contract with Xia Sihan. So far, Sijin has five embroiderers. With Xia Sihan himself, the store should be able to operate.
On the first day, Xia Sihan earned 120 taels, excluding the fabric embroidery thread labor, and the profit was 100 taels. Xia Sihan is still quite satisfied, at least he will earn back all the expenses of the year in this day. But Xia Sihan wants more than that.
Her ambitions go far beyond this shop.
The emergence of Sijin Garment made several nearby garment factories disagree, but it was just a garment factory, and today it was just an accident. How could such a large garment workshop in Lingyun Pavilion be something that such a small workshop could regret? It was precisely because they didn't care that it was only when Xia Sihan's shop gradually grew that Lingyun Pavilion and the others were surprised by her methods.
Just when Xia Sihan was struggling with how to break into the house of the powerful, someone came to match her up. Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as Xia Sihan's shop opened, there was a young man who looked like a small guy standing at the door.
"Dare to ask if it's the owner of Sijin Garment?"
Xia Sihan nodded, "I am." ”
"That's right, yesterday our mother Li bought a wedding dress from you, and when I went back, our master saw it, and said that I asked the boss to come to the door to tailor my young lady, and make one, can you go?"
"Mother Li?" Xia Sihan recalled in her mind the few people who bought the wedding dress yesterday, it turned out to be her!
