Chapter 169: A New Industry

Shen Shimei took the apprentice and brought it very happily, several people are also sensible and have eyesight, there is no need to say much about work, they can do it consciously, Shen Shiliu looked at it, and finally said: "I will send two people to Deshun Building tomorrow, do you have any ideas?" "Wen Huai should be about to return to the barracks, and the people here should also be sent over.

The four of them discussed, and in the end, Lianggong and Pingzi wanted to stay, and the family and Daming went to Deshun Building.

Lianggong and Pingzi are happy, it is better to stay here than to go to Deshun Building. Although Deshun Building is big, it is not as comfortable as Shen Shimei's side, they are domestic slaves themselves, and they have no future, they just want to live in peace here.

Jiahe and Daming also have ideas if they want to go back to Deshun Building, if they do well, they can be good citizens in addition to slavery in the future.

Shen Shiliu instructed the family and Daming, there is Wen Huai at the other end and can take it for a few days, and when the two of them are brought together, there is no need to worry about the other end of Deshun Building.

"Master, will the two of us be able to work as errands in the back kitchen from now on?" Ryoko and Heiko were a little curious.

Shen Shiliu nodded: "Look first, after seeing the process, you can take charge of yourself." "It's not enough to just be able to cook, you have to run in with everyone, so that you don't make mistakes in your busy schedule.

The apprentice brought it out, Shen Shimei can not be so tired, and the kitchen is slowly pulling out, it's time to study more industries.

There are a lot of property deeds and title deeds on Jingwen's side, and two of them happen to be in Kyoto City, and there was no time before, but now that there is time, the shop can't be so deserted.

"Sister-in-law, I see that two of your houses in this deed are shops in Kyoto City, so if you want to run it, it will always be deserted, and it will have no value, and when you raise it, you can also use it as a pretend marriage in the future." Shen Shiliu said that many things on Jingwen are like this, only there is a contract, but she doesn't operate it, and she is ruined.

Jingwen nodded: "It's good for my sister-in-law to call the shots, these things will be what my sister-in-law says in the future!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Sister-in-law doesn't want to occupy it, with the business, these things will only change more and more in the future, and your things are still yours!" "After all, it's someone else's thing, and she has taken advantage of it as capital to make money, and when Jingwen gets married in the future, it is much better to take these stores with money than an empty contract.

Jingwen nodded, knowing in her heart that Shen Shiliu would not pit her, there were so many people in the clan, and none of them treated her as sincerely as Shen Shimei.

Shen Pomegranate took the deed and looked at it for a few days, the location was good, one was bigger, the other was smaller, and finally thought about it, thinking that it would be better to use that smaller one to make jewelry and gold stores, people in Kyoto City are all good-looking, even if they are big officials with sesame mung beans, their families are very particular about going out.

"Brother Erzhu, you are looking for someone who can work in the lobby these days." Shen Shiliu said that now that he is going to open a new restaurant, Zheng Erzhu's task has also shifted, and he can't just stare at the restaurant.

Zheng Erzhu wondered, after hearing Shen Shiliu say that he wanted to open a jewelry store, he said: "I know, but if you want to open a jewelry store, do you have to find a craftsman master?" ”

"I have to find it, but I need materials now, gold and silver are easy to get, but jade and gems are hard to find." Shen Shiliu said, and she didn't know much about jade and gemstones, so she should go to Jingwen to sit down.

"Then I'll find one by one, and the master will also find one!" Zheng Erzhu said that Shen Pomegranate finally began to expand his business, he knew that Shen Pomegranate could toss before, and he thought that he was going to continue to open branches, but he didn't expect to change careers directly.

After Shen Pomegranate arranged it, he went to the store to take a look, it turned out to be a wine seller, although it was closed, but the pattern inside had not changed.

"I'll have to find a master to redecorate." Shen Shiliu said that there are also masters who have been used before, which are easier to solve.

When I got home, Shen Shiliu took out a pen and paper, and drew a picture for an afternoon, there are several jewelry stores in Kyoto City, the most famous is Yuehua Zhai, I heard that the master in it is from the Shanggong Bureau in the palace, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite.

When Du Xuanmo came back, he saw that Shen Pomegranate had drawn a lot of paper, some of which were well placed, and some of which were directly crumpled into balls and thrown away.

"What is this for?" Du Xuanmo came over curiously and picked up the ball on the ground, which was in the style of a hairpin.

Shen Shiliu saw that Du Xuanmo was back, so he smiled bitterly: "I want to open a jewelry store, and I'm drawing!" "It is not easy for her to find a master from the Shanggong Bureau in the palace, so she can only win by relying on exquisite style.

Du Xuanmo sat down with a smile and looked at the style drawn by Shen Pomegranate, there are hairpins and bracelets, except for the rough painting, the style is very good-looking.

"I'll help you." Du Xuanmo took the brush and redrew it on the paper.

Shen Pomegranate poured the tea, drank it himself, and then looked at the pattern drawn neatly in Du Xuanmo's hand, looking a little "poetic".

"It's really a good hand, it's better than me!" Shen Shimei praised Du Xuanmo, Du Xuan's ink and Danqing paintings are very beautiful, not to mention the drawings of these jewelry.

Du Xuanmo was praised and raised his eyebrows directly, feeling very proud. I was praised by my daughter-in-law again today, so happy!

The two of them ate alone in the room for dinner, and it was rare for Du Xuanmo not to be so busy, accompanying Shen Shimei to paint and make his daughter-in-law happy.

"After drawing so much, I have a hunch that we will definitely be popular!" Shen Shiliu looked at the paper on the table, and drew more than thirty kinds at night, if they were all made, it would be enough for the town.

Du Xuanmo touched Shen Shimei's head with a smile and said, "You should also sleep." ”

Shen Shiliu smiled and packed the drawings in a box, success or failure in one fell swoop, if the jewelry store can be opened well this time, according to Jingwen, she is also ready to get the rest of the industry, and then she can also have the capital to buy the industry, and it is not a problem to catch up with the family.

Early the next morning, Zheng Erzhu brought back a master who knew how to work, the master was in his forties, and his face was kind, not so much a master, but like a teacher.

"What do you call the old gentleman? How's the craftsmanship? Shen Shiliu asked, I have to see if the craftsmanship is successful, if not, don't delay the work.

"Next week, this craft is very good!" The old gentleman said to himself, with a smile on his face.

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Sir, you can boast a lot!" ”

Zhou Zheng directly took out a handkerchief, which was covered with a few silver ornaments, Shen Pomegranate took it and took a look, the style was relatively simple, but the workmanship was a surprise, and some of the hollowed-out ones were also done in a decent way.

"The old gentleman still has a hollowing technique?" Shen Shiliu asked, she is a layman, and she doesn't know what craftsmanship is.

Zhou Zheng twisted his mustache and said, "Naturally, it will." ”

Shen Shiliu thought about it, so she asked Zhou Zheng to wait for a while, and she went into the house and took her own box out, picked out a drawing for Zhou Zheng to see, and asked, "Can such an old gentleman make it?" ”

When she was drawing drawings yesterday, Shen Shimei was also how to look good and how to draw, and she didn't think about whether the master's craftsmanship could make it.

Zhou Zheng took it, studied it carefully, and said, "It's not difficult, it just takes some time." ”

Shen Shiliu saw it, and immediately said: "Then the old gentleman will stay, and let him get you any tools or anything you need!" She pointed at Zheng Erzhu.

"Wait a minute, we have to talk about this salary first!" Zhou Zheng said.

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Just talk to him too, you can't lose the old man!" Shen Shiliu said that she didn't know the market either.

"But your store hasn't opened yet, so I shouldn't be enough alone." Zhou Zheng said that there is a master behind the jewelry store, and it is estimated that either the master is tired to death or the store will get yellow sooner or later.

Shen Shiliu glanced at Zheng Erzhu and said, "Then find another master, and another small worker to help with chores!" ”

Zheng Erzhu responded, and then led Zhou Zheng to the lobby to discuss the price, and Shen Shiliu gave Zhou Zheng all the drawings he had drawn.

As soon as the price was negotiated, Zhou Zheng led Zheng Erzhu to the store to pan for the stove used to melt gold, some tools he had, and some additional ones that he didn't have, basically it was okay.

"I've been a jeweler for half my life, and I've never seen such a drawing." Zhou Zheng looked at the drawings one by one.

Gold, stone and silver ornaments are all for the purpose of showing wealth, but the style on this drawing is exquisite and does not lack character and vulgarity.

Zheng Erzhu didn't understand, so he said: "Our shopkeeper is also looking for gems and jade in the near future, these days, Mr. will do some simple things first, and we will do them all in the middle and low grades!" ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, and then said, "Then the furnace will be opened tomorrow, but the materials must be prepared." ”

"Cheng, bring all the gold and silver tomorrow, and the rest will be waiting for our shopkeeper!" Zheng Erzhu said.

Shen Shiliu lights a small vault at home, she doesn't have much jewelry for herself, and she is also simple on weekdays, she has a set of support scenes when she goes out, and the rest are gold bars and silver ingots.

"So much?" Zheng Erzhu looked at the gold on Shen Pomegranate's table and asked, take it in one go, she is not afraid that Zhou Zheng will abscond with the money?

Shen Shiliu smiled and said, "You can keep the gold, how much he wants to use, just go to your place." "She won't be stupid, she really handed over the gold directly to the master.

"Oh, that's okay!" Zheng Erzhu was relieved.

Shen Pomegranate counted the number, and the small half box of gold is estimated to be able to make a lot of jewelry.

Zheng Erzhu thought for a while and said, "Let's get a reliable cabinet, I'm afraid what if someone comes to steal it?" ”

Shen Shiliu pondered for a while, and felt that it was right, the gold shop was the easiest to be targeted, and she had to think of a measure!

Zheng Erzhu thought that Shen Pomegranate went back to the furniture store, but he didn't expect Shen Pomegranate to go directly to the blacksmith shop, and directly ordered an iron box, the chain head key door and nose are all special, unless you use a key to open it, or even if you use an axe and hammer to forcibly break it, don't think about breaking it.

The store has not yet been renovated, Shen Shiliu directly told the master that a hole was directly cut in the wall and the iron cabinet was directly inlaid into the wall, unless half of the wall was demolished, otherwise the cabinet would not move at all.

"You're still amazing!" Zheng Erzhu said with a smile.

"It's called impregnable!" Shen Pomegranate said proudly.
