Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Wen Family Makes a Move

Liu Ya told Liu Wu the news that Zhao Ergang had just inquired, and Liu Wu nodded, comforting Liu Ya and saying that it was okay.

In fact, from the time Huang Wangcai proposed to be a slave for half a year, Liu Wu knew that there was a problem in this, but this half a year was also a buffer time for himself, so he didn't pay much attention to it, in other words, this is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.

Huang Wangcai saw that the catkins had use value and wanted to make more money, so he naturally wanted to leave the catkins in the Huang family for as long as possible;

On the contrary, Liu Wu also needs the platform of the Huang family to earn some household income in exchange for the last freedom.

This is a two-phase cheap thing, no one can say it, no one can say it, hee hee haha, the surface is peaceful, but they have their own hearts, as long as they don't break the bottom line, they can be within the acceptable range.

The next days are very pleasant, catkins also came to the interest, followed the willow buds to learn embroidery from widow Li, but the patience is obviously insufficient, the talent is unsatisfactory, the embroidered stitches are not dense at all, willow buds compared with her, even if the embroidered orchid is like leeks, it can be regarded as "talented", more than the "chicken paws" embroidered by the catkins hundreds of sets.

Widow Li looked at the wasted embroidery thread and cloth, and her face was distressed, while the willow buds, although she didn't feel sorry for the fabric, she was distressed about the willow catkins being pierced into sieve eyes.

The catkins' self-esteem was challenged like never before, and in order to save face, they meditated and finally drew patterns on the remnants of the fabric with a wooden charcoal head.

Because of the single color of the embroidery thread, the catkins are painted with rabbits in the 20 zodiac signs, which coincides with the scene of this year's Year of the Rabbit.

Widow Li looked at the cartoon rabbit in amazement, but it was different from the rabbit she saw on weekdays, and was amazed, and praised the indescribable cuteness.

Liu Fu smiled and pointed to the rabbit and said: "Aunt Li, the handkerchief you embroidered is made of ordinary materials, ordinary patterns, and a handkerchief can only earn two or three cents at most, which makes the eyes blurry, and it is extremely not cost-effective. ”

Liu Ya touched the pattern with joy, and said regretfully: "If I had drawn it earlier, I would have been able to give Sister Da Hong a decent gift if I had been in a hurry for a few days and nights." ”

Liu Wu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, her sister-in-law, and her relationship with the Zhao family were really ironclad, which made her jealous.

Liu Wu couldn't help but pretend to eat the taste: "You think about the Zhao family for all the good things, can you think about my own sister?" ”

Liu Ya's face turned red, lowered her head, and she was speechless.

Liu Wu broke the gong in an instant, flicked Liu Ya's forehead with a smile, and said with a smile: "The eldest sister teased you." Don't you want to make money? This is your first one. ”

The color of the cartoon rabbit is single, only four or five colors such as red, black and white, and Widow Li embroiders the outline, and the simple part of the color is completed by the willow buds, and one can be embroidered in less than five or six days.

Widow Li frowned and said, "Su'er, this rabbit is embroidered on the veil, which is more cumbersome than that of Dilian; Embroidered on the screen, it is not as good as the meaning of wealth and wealth; You see......"

Widow Li can use her brain to think about the problem, Liu Wu is quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "The rich and noble families all travel by carriage, using some stiff fabrics, filled with cotton, made into square soft pillows, held in their arms, or pillowed under their heads, are very comfortable." ”

Widow Li nodded slightly, although she was still not completely sure, but seeing that Liu Wu was confident, she didn't say anything more.

With a new goal, Widow Li and Liu Ya regardless of time, regardless of place, take out and embroider at any time, Widow Li sewed the corners, and the willow buds were filled according to the same color, completely reaching the realm of selflessness, if it were not for the willow catkins from time to time, these two people were afraid that they would not even sleep, and they would have to embroider for three days and three nights until they were completely embroidered.

On the day when the pillow was finished, the Huang family's carriage came suddenly, and the catkins were invited to the carriage without saying anything, and the coachman's face was solemn, similar to the death of his own mother.

Liu Wu's heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he secretly sighed that it was not good, something happened to Huangjiabu Zhuang Mo?

Is the Yuehua tassel skirt imitated? Or is the chastity dress not acceptable to women? Or ......

When I arrived at Zhengde Street, I saw that on the road between the embroidery workshop and Huangjiabuzhuang, a platform like a stage was built, which was surrounded by people, and the door of Huangjiabuzhuang was blocked.

Ten slender women, wearing curtain separation on their heads and colorful clothes on their bodies, floated on the stage, lingering fragrant and beautiful, hooking the eyes of the men in the audience.

Huang Wangcai was at the door of the first floor, his eyes were piercing, his heart was hateful, but he couldn't bear it.

Seeing Liu Fu squeezing in, he waved his sleeves with a displeased face, led the way, entered a private room, and said with a dark face: "Take a look! I said that we showed it together a few days ago, but you didn't listen. Not only did Yuehua's tassel skirt make a wedding dress for others, but also accompanied the silver. Even now, the embroidery workshop has also learned from the same, and invited more than ten Miaoling women to show their clothes. ”

Liu Fu only then knew that this platform was built by the embroidery workshop, at first glance I thought it was Huang Wangcai to build it, after all, preconceived, some time ago it was the Huangjia cloth village that invited Sendai first, this embroidery village is a kind of example, eye-catching, to take away the freshness of inviting Sendai.

"How could the Yuehua tassel skirt lose money?" Liu Wu asked in surprise.

This Yuehua tassel skirt, there are more than 100 pearls on it alone, although the color is unsatisfactory, but the clothes can still be sold for a hundred taels of silver, how can it not earn a cent?

Huang Wangcai's face suddenly drooped, and he said with a bitter face: "I was taken away by the county lord and dedicated to the county lord, I can't go to the county government to beat the drum to the county lord to avenge the silver, right?" ”

Liu Wu's brows suddenly wrinkled into mountains and rivers, and the people did not fight with officials, which was an eternal truth, especially in ancient times, and they couldn't fight if they wanted to.

The county magistrate did so disregarding his face, and the Wen Embroidery Workshop closed the road and set up a platform with great fanfare, and even dispatched more than 20 arresters to maintain law and order, saying that there was no ghost behind the Wen family, and the catkins were killed.

A catcher was squeezed by the onlookers and almost fell over, and scolded angrily: "Get out of the way, hurry to reincarnate one by one, be careful to damage Ben Catcher's clothes......"

Liu Wu's eyes lit up, and he asked Huang Wangcai in a low voice: "Huang Dongjia, how many officials are there in Jiangyin County?" How many inmates are there in the prison? ”

Huang Wangcai didn't know why, and said after a while: "There are about 30 people arrested in the county, more than 20 jailers, prisoners, how can there be hundreds of people, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Fu snapped his fingers and said happily: "Huang shopkeeper, there is a way to take other people's hands short, you are not good to ask the county master for silver, but you didn't say that you can't ask for a franchise, for example, you will be doing the clothes of the jailer and the clothes of the prisoners every year, even if you only earn five cents for one piece, one hundred and fifty pieces will earn seven hundred and fifty cents, which is seven taels of silver......

Huang Wangcai's face became even more gloomy, and he rolled his eyes at the catkins and said, "My Yuehua tassel skirt wants to sell for a hundred taels." ”

Liu Fu nodded and said, "But your cost will never exceed fifty taels." ”

"That's a lot more than seven taels of silver, isn't it?! Huang has done a double-shot business, but he will not be easily deceived by people in a few words. ”

Huang Wangcai's face is full of glory, in this life, the proudest thing he is is that the silver that should be spent is never soft, the silver that should not be spent, and a copper plate should not be pulled out of his hand.

Liu Wu snorted and laughed, pointed at Huang Dongjia and said: "The neighbors said that you can calculate, and this is how you can calculate?" ”

This customized fast suit and prisoner suit are mass-produced, the style is loose, the technical content is not high, the profit is thin, and it is from the fingers of the official family to pick the profits, and the most important point is to pay for the beads.

For example, the big cloth village like the Wenxiu Workshop dislikes being a jailer's clothes and is dyed with bad luck;

The inconspicuous small cloth village is afraid of being weak and weak, and it will be swallowed by the official family in the later period, so if this large volume production order, no one will compete for it like chicken ribs.

Liu Wu took the second brother's abacus, and muttered while pulling on it: "The clothes that catch fast in a year should be divided into spring and autumn clothes, summer clothes, and winter clothes, fifty fast prison guards, winter clothes are more expensive, summer and autumn clothes and summer clothes are cheaper, three sets of clothes per quarter earn a total of thirty wen, and fifteen taels of silver for fifty people." ”

Liu Wu cleared the abacus, and pulled the abacus again: "There are 100 cells in Jiangyin County, which is considered to be an average of 70 prisoners, and those who have really committed capital crimes such as beheading after the autumn are less than ten a year, and the others are small crimes such as stealing, tax arrears, and driving. ”

Huang Wangcai's eyes blinked, and his head, which was already good at calculation, quickly turned into a task, and sighed: "You are better than me, and you really calculated a hundred taels of silver, but have you ever thought that my embroidery girl is a first-class embroidery girl, if I am occupied by these superficial work, what will I do to hit the embroidery workshop?" ”

Liu Fu glanced at Huang Wangcai and said with a smile: "You also said, these clothes are shallow, you can also find ordinary village girls and village women to do it, the most women do is needlework, this little work should be done by hand." ”

Huang Wangcai's eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled together, and he said in distress: "The profit is not high, and if you have to distribute it to these village girls and village women, you will make even less money." ”

Liu Fu glanced at Huang Wangcai, who was still dissatisfied, and said: "Greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, where will you lose?" The county lord wore the clothes of the Huang family, and he was worried that the rich ladies were not eager for the Huang family cloth village? didn't ask the county lord for money, the county lord can blatantly unite with the Wen family to bully you in the future, if you get along well in the future, maybe you will help you deal with the Wen family in turn, take a long-term view, don't count the money into the bones. ”

Huang Wangcai's heart was a little loosened by Liu Wu's words, and when he raised his eyes and saw the people flocking in front of the Wenjia performance stage, he felt a little bottomless in his heart, and pointed to the opposite side and said: "After all, it is unfortunate to be a prisoner's clothes, although it is profitable, it is really not on the stage, and it is serious to make some beautiful clothes." You see, these people have been recruited by the Wen family, but how can they be good? Why don't we set up a table and display the remaining nine sets of clothes? Fight against each other? ”

Liu Wu squinted lightly, looking at the lively scene on the street, it was obvious that the Wen family was inspired by the Huang family's invitation to Sendai, and found some beautiful girls to wear clothes to attract people's attention.
