Chapter 328: Recruiting the Shopkeeper
The sales volume in Heisha Town is relatively stable, with 500 to 600 horses sold every month, and more than ninety percent are cotton cloth, and only one percent is silk.
The auspicious cloth village in Jixiang Town, because of the Spring Festival meeting a year ago, now has a lot of reputation around, and because the fabric is not easy to fade, there are many repeat customers.
From the Chinese New Year to the present, an average of 300 to 400 pieces of cotton cloth can be sold a month, which is similar to the sales structure of the cloth village in Heisha Town, ninety percent cotton cloth and one percent silk.
It can be seen that most of the customers in and around the township are farmers. Cotton cloth is cheap, durable, and commonly used by the people. Silk will only be worn when you get married, or on important occasions.
Now if you want to consume the fabric in the workshop, you must expand the market.
So Liu Paner set her sights on Cuiyang County.
Liu Paner is no longer the Liu Paner when she fled the famine last year, and now she has an identity and status, and she also has connections. It is not difficult to open a small cloth village in the county seat.
After discussing with Liu, Liu also agreed, "Of course, we have to go to the county seat to open a shop, otherwise the cloth dyed by our family can't be sold, won't it be smashed in our own hands?" Selling to other people, we don't make much money. ”
"That's okay, I'll hand it over to my sister-in-law at home, then I'll go to the county seat." Liu Pan'er smiled, "Just went to visit Old Madam Gu, Anan, are you going?" ”
Li Nan hurriedly swallowed the pastry in his mouth, "Go, go, I'm going." ”
She had long wanted to go to the county seat, but her mother was always very busy before, and it was inconvenient to take her with her. Now that her mother has taken the initiative to bring it up, how could Li Nan miss it?
Li Rong pouted, looked at Li Nan, envious in her heart, in fact, she also wanted to go, "Anan, don't you want to go to school?" ”
When Li Nan heard this, he had a bitter face, but soon smiled again, "My mother said, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, even if you go to school, you have to go out and see more, and you will have a long experience." ”
Liu Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled, pinching Li Nan's little ears, "You are the truth again!" If Rong wants to go, come with me. ”
Li Xiaobao's eyes were shining, and he said a little shyly: "Mother, there is still me, and there is me!" ”
Liu Pan'er shook her head, "Xiaobao, if I don't take you this time, there are four people sitting in the carriage, and there are already four people, and if there are more people, it will become more crowded." Anyway, I often go to the county seat, so next time I'll take you and Dabao over, how about it? ”
Li Dabao was worried that his younger brother was uncomfortable, and whispered: "Xiaobao, my brother knows the fun places in the county, and the next time my mother takes us to the county seat, my brother will take you there." ”
Although Li Xiaobao regretted it, he also knew that what his mother said was the truth, so he nodded, "Okay, mother, it's settled." This time you take your sister and sister, and next time you take me and my brother. ”
Liu Pan'er nodded and smiled: "Okay!" ”
After eating, in the envious eyes of everyone, Liu Paner took her two newly-dressed daughters, took the maid and cat, and took a carriage to the county seat.
The skill of the leopard to drive the carriage now, is very good. It's still a bit bumpy, but it's not uncomfortable.
Ah Rong asked softly: "Mother, if we open a cloth village in the county seat, who do you let watch the shop in the county seat?" ”
Liu Paner thought for a while, and then said: "Opening a shop in the county seat is not that simple. The young man in the shop let Sanmao and Simao go over, but the shopkeeper must be very familiar with the county and have experience. When I arrived in the county seat, I first went to find the shopkeeper Li of the delicious building. He has been in the county for so many years, and he must know people with good ability and good character who are suitable to be shopkeepers. ”
Li Rong nodded, "Mother, that's right." We have to find a suitable shopkeeper, after all, our town is not as good as the county seat. Our fabrics are so good, we can sell a thousand horses a month when we open a shop in the county, and it is also possible. ”
Liu Pan'er smiled, "A thousand? Then you are underestimating the purchasing power of the county. There are many rich people in the county. Ordinary people also have a livelihood, and they have to buy a lot of fabrics every year. In addition, like the landlords and big families below, they are proud to buy in the county seat. They buy fabrics, mostly from county seats. Our fabrics are not easy to fade, which is quite good, and it is conservatively estimated that we can sell 2,000 pieces of cloth a month. ”
"Huh?" Li Rong was surprised, "Two thousand horses? Then our dyeing workshop is going to recruit people again. ”
"As long as the business is good, it is easy to recruit people." Liu Paner said with a smile, "Now there are many women in the village who want to come to the workshop to do things!" ”
Sister Mao'er smiled, "Madam, Miss, you don't know anything. The women in the village who work in our workshop have money to take home every month. The status at home is not ordinary, respected by her husband, and she can be looked down upon by her in-laws, and she doesn't have to do the trivial work at home, and she can eat ready-made meals when she comes home, not to mention how good it is. ”
Li Rong covered her mouth and smiled, her big eyes were bright and bright, "I think money is one thing, and there is another very important reason, Sister Mao'er, you didn't say it." Zhao Yushu beat his daughter-in-law, and was ordered by my mother to beat 30 boards. So those gentlemen in the village no longer dare to beat their daughters-in-law. My in-laws didn't dare to embarrass my daughter-in-law, for fear of annoying my daughter-in-law, so I ran to my mother to complain. ”
Sister Mao'er laughed, "Miss Ah Rong is right, this is also an important reason. It's good that Mrs. has single-handedly changed the atmosphere of Jixiang Village. ”
Liu Pan'er was complimented by her daughter and maidservant, and also smiled, "Okay, I just did what I had to do." Men and women, if they make a mistake, they will be punished. You can't be punished heavily because it's a woman who makes a mistake, and you can't be lightly punished or not punished because it's a man who makes a mistake. It may be accommodating elsewhere, but not here. ”
Along the way, I was accompanied by my daughter to talk and laugh, but I didn't feel bored. Before you know it, you will arrive at the county seat. You can only enter the city after paying the three-penny entrance fee.
This measure has effectively reduced the number of times ordinary people in the countryside go to the city.
It's okay, the common people will definitely not come to the county seat to hang out. After all, if you want to go to the city, you have to pay three pennies, and you can buy two vegetarian buns.
Although this approach is a bit harsh, if there is no such measure, the county town will be crowded with people, and there will be no room for so many people.
Liu Paner asked the leopard to come directly to the delicious building, and she still had something to ask the shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li saw Liu Paner taking her two daughters into the city, and immediately welcomed Liu Paner inside.
Although the young master can't get his wish, the relationship between the Gu family and Mrs. Derui is very good, and the old lady and the young master have explained, if Mrs. Derui comes to the door, he must be courteous.
If you need help, try to help.
With the master's instructions, Shopkeeper Li was more respectful to Mrs. Drey.
"Madame, what are you doing here?" Shopkeeper Li asked, and quietly instructed the young man to serve two plates of custard cakes that children like to eat.
