Zhuang Meiyan just took over the silk shop, prepared for more than half a month, and earned more than 20 taels of silver on the first day of opening, which made the big guys very happy. Zhuang Meiyan was calmer and said: "The income in the first month will naturally be more, because everyone has never seen these fresh colors and fabrics, and when the freshness is over, they may not be able to maintain this income next month." ”

When Zhuang Meiyan said this, everyone was suddenly a little discouraged.

Sister-in-law Yang whispered: "Even one or two pieces of silver a day is not too little, wow, it is enough for the poor to spend for several months." ”

Chunju pouted and said, "What is a tael of silver worth? In the past, in the Zhuang Mansion, the silver was spent like flowing water, and it was not allowed to go out for dozens of taels a day." ”

Sister-in-law Yang and Yang Xiucai couldn't help but smack their tongues.

Zhuang Meiyan smiled and said, "Where is it so evil as you say, don't let people listen to jokes." The future earnings are not as small as Sister-in-law Yang said, and there will definitely be more than one or two silvers. Besides, we have to think of more ways in the future, we are not the only silk shop in the town, but their colors are not as good as ours, so we have to work harder to let these big families buy cloth from us. As the saying goes, 'three stinkers are the top of Zhuge Liang', everyone thinks about it together, and if there is any good idea, say it. ”

Chunju thought for a while and said, "Miss, according to the slave maid, it's still our old way to do some embroidery, so that the price of the original ordinary fabric will more than double." ”

Zhuang Meiyan nodded slightly, and said: "This method is naturally good, but it takes a lot of work to do embroidery, and we don't have enough manpower." ”

Sister-in-law Yang said timidly: "The third girl feels that there are not enough people, but the little woman knows a few sisters, all of whom are now married to the people in the town, and they live closely, although they are not as skillful as the third girl and the Chunju girl, but they are all women who can do needlework, it is better for the little woman to call them over to help." ”

Zhuang Meiyan nodded and said: "That's the best, as long as you can do it, as long as you are willing to work hard, we women can do it well, come and let me and Chunju give you some advice." ”

She raised her eyes and looked around at this shop, frowned and said: "This shop is too big, and it doesn't take such a big place to arrange fabrics outside, tomorrow Yang Xiucai and Han Niu'er will go to buy a few screens and come back, separate the space inside, and buy a few embroidered tables and stools, isn't this a ready-made embroidery workshop?"

Sister-in-law Yang said approvingly: "The third girl is really a person with a way, which is really admirable." ”

Zhuang Meiyan smiled tiredly and said, "This is all the help of the big guys, otherwise Meiyan would not be able to keep busy even if she has three heads and six arms." Everyone is tired today, so let's rest early. ”

Sister-in-law Yang and Yang Xiucai went out, their husband and wife rented a cottage in the town, and took their mother-in-law to live together, Yang Xiucai also knew that he had done wrong before, and he quit gambling, and now the family has three generations of grandchildren living together, and they are happy.

There were only Zhuang Meiyan and Chunju left in the store, Chunju cleaned up the few remaining pieces of fabric on the long table, Zhuang Meiyan yawned and said, "I'm tired today, let's get it tomorrow." ”

Chunju whispered: "Miss, there is something that the slave maid doesn't know whether to say or not?"

Zhuang Meiyan was stunned, raised her eyes and glanced at her, looking at her uncertain, knowing that this girl was steady, and when she said such a thing, she must have seen something very difficult.

"Say it. ”

Chunju said indignantly: "Miss, the slave maid saw that sister-in-law Hong's little maid today took advantage of our busyness and quietly stuffed several silk silks into her arms, which were embroidered by Miss herself, with unique colors. The slave maid originally wanted to arrest her, but when she thought that today was a good day for our store to open, she didn't dare to speak out for fear of causing trouble and affecting the business. ”

That sister-in-law Hong was even more excessive, and when she left, she actually took several good Jinzhou silk satin. ”

Zhuang Meiyan frowned secretly, the Jinzhou silk satin of the unparalleled country is the best fabric, the texture is smooth as water, the color is bright and shiny, and the price is naturally very expensive.

"I know that in my heart, Chunju, you have to keep an eye on it in the future, if not, hire two more guys, Sister-in-law Hong will take whatever she wants, but she must record it in front of her face and let her stamp it. Her maid can rub oil or something, as long as Sister-in-law Hong agrees, it will be hung on her account. ”

"But--" Chunju said worriedly, "what if she doesn't want to give the money in the future?"

Zhuang Meiyan smiled coldly and said: "Let her leave a mark when keeping accounts, and I'm not afraid of cheating, I'm just afraid that she won't be bad." ”

Chunju was a little confused, and looked at the young lady in a daze. Zhuang Meiyan smiled: "Don't worry, I have my own calculations." ”

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Zhuang Meiyan's satin shop opened. Zhuang Meiyan's winery also moved to Qiyang Town, and placed it in the backyard of the silk shop, she was optimistic about the location of the silk shop, mainly because she saw that his backyard was very large, and there were many idle houses. After seeking Boss Li's permission, she vacated the backyard and turned it into a winery, dug a cellar to continue making wine, and the vacant houses were used for the workers, all of whom were villagers from the "Phoenix Nest", and hired two cooks in the town.

Zhuang Meiyan is busy every day, and although her life is busy, she feels very fulfilling.

At the end of the month, the silk shop made five hundred and sixty taels of silver by removing the odds, and the winery earned more than one hundred taels of silver because of the cost of saving the cost of transportation, and there were also some restaurants whose accounts were said to be settled at the end of the year, so in fact it was not more than that.

Zhuang Meiyan personally went to the countryside to visit Boss Li, but Boss Li's illness still did not improve. When Zhuang Meiyan put the two cents of one hundred and twenty taels of silver on the table, Boss Li and his wife couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at each other. The lady of the Li family snorted: "Sister, is this silver wrong? Our small shop's monthly income is only one hundred and eighty taels, and the maximum is only about two hundred taels during the Chinese New Year, why did you give so much?"

Zhuang Meiyan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, the accounts can't be wrong." In the future, I will ask my buddy to send you the monthly money, and Uncle Li will recuperate at home. ”

Boss Li and his wife were in a dream, and they didn't even know when Zhuang Meiyan would say goodbye and leave, and the two of them sighed.

Zhuang Meiyan's silk shop has bright colors and complete types, and its reputation soon spread in Qiyang Town, and even some wealthy families in nearby towns have rushed to come to Baili Road, competing to buy, and the supply is a little tight for a while. Every time a new item comes up, it is sold out.

Zhuang Meiyan and Chunju are familiar with the clothing styles of large families in Beijing, and many families beg them to help cut clothes, Zhuang Meiyan was too busy, so she simply hired a few skillful ladies to be responsible for cutting needles and threads and helping these people customize clothes.

On this day, Zhuang Meiyan was busy in front of the counter, accompanying the rich Wang family lady in the town to choose the color, and suddenly the door of the shop was slammed open by the crowd, and someone pointed to the nose and scolded: "Little wave hoof, rampant!"
