Chapter 273
On the occasion of lunch, the little couple discussed with Uncle Chu and planned to buy the Sun's cloth village next door.
Uncle Chu's decision for the little couple has always been supportive, and sometimes reminds them to pay attention to it, so as not to make a mistake in the busy busyness of the little couple: "The idea of the shroud shop is not bad, I walk on the street on weekdays, and I have also seen other people's shroud shops, I think there are many wealthy families in this county, unlike us in the village before, the shrouds are made in advance by ourselves, and there are some that are not particular, or it is too late for the incident, so I directly wear the usual clothes and go to the funeral."
"Third Uncle is right."
Chu Yi remembered that when he was in the mountain village before, although the life of the people in the village was still successful, the money was still Chu Li, or he was busy all year round, and the grain in the land was exchanged, and he naturally had to spend it carefully.
Like paper ties, spirit flags, and the shroud business that is now being calculated, if it is in the village, I am afraid that it will never be possible.
Since someone is already doing it, it proves that there is a market for this shroud in the county, and Uncle Chu is not worried about whether anyone will buy it, but he is afraid that the little couple will not be able to support it: "But now there are two shops in the house, although there are two shops in the family to help, although there are two people in Song He and Master Gao to help, but on weekdays, you two have to make coffins, and you two can be busy with another one, and the family now has two shops, and those fields in the village also have income every year, and now you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but you have to take care of yourself."
Shen Luzhu understood that Third Uncle Chu cared about himself and Chu Yi, and was busy telling Third Uncle Chu about his and Chu Yi's plans: "Third Uncle don't worry, when the time comes, we will also ask a guy to keep an eye on the shroud shop, and the backyard will be arranged as a place for embroidery girls to make shrouds, Jiang Juan's cousin's craftsmanship is good, and we plan to hand over the embroidery girls in the backyard to her to manage."
In fact, since the little couple came to the county seat, and opened a coffin shop, they don't need to be busy every day but don't live in the village for more, the two workshops don't need to be taken care of by the little couple personally, the purchase and delivery have Jiang Quan and Lin Ji's fleet, and the two shops have also invited guys, as long as they don't catch up with the four sections, the busiest paper money trading, the little couple don't need to go to the front to help.
Speaking of making coffins, the sales of coffins in the shop are much stronger than when the Chu family was in the old house, but there are special people to do logging and transportation, Shen Luzhu recently hired two carpenters to help deal with wood, which saved Chu Yi a lot of effort and energy.
These Third Uncle Chu naturally saw it in their eyes, but as an elder, he still couldn't help but care, but with the guarantee of the little couple, he was a lot relieved, so he nodded and said, "If you can hire someone to do it, hire someone, you two don't just tire yourself up."
In the past, Chu Xiuxiu didn't know much about the family's business, except for some cleaning and cooking, she couldn't help much, but now she heard that Shen Luzhu wanted to get a shop to make shrouds, thinking that she had something she knew. Look at the book
Hurriedly raised his hand and motioned to Shen Luzhu and said, "Sister-in-law, if I really open a shroud shop, can I help?" Although my embroidery work is not as good as that of the Jiang family's sister, I should be able to handle it, and I will also help make shrouds when the time comes."
"Naturally, it's done, but it's not to make shrouds, my sister-in-law has more important things I want to ask Xiuxiu to help, if Xiuxiu is willing, when the shroud shop opens in the future, can you help my sister-in-law manage the accounts over there, you also know that the accounts of the two shops in our house are now calculated separately, if you add another account, the sister-in-law will really have a big head."
Chu Xiuxiu didn't expect Shen Luzhu to hand over the accounts of the new shop to herself, and she was a little at a loss for a while: "Sister-in-law, I have never done this accounting thing, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
Shen Luzhu smiled and encouraged: "When I do accounts on weekdays, Xiuxiu doesn't often help me with accounting, it's not difficult, isn't there a cousin-in-law who doesn't understand, Xiuxiu wants to help my cousin-in-law?"
Being able to help her cousin and sister-in-law, Chu Xiuxiu was very willing, and nodded busily, "Yes."
"If you want it, you can do it."
Now that they have discussed it and decided to buy the Sun family's cloth village, the little couple did not delay any longer, and after a break, Chu Yi still went out to Da'an Hutong to help Ding An keep an eye on the repair of the house, and Shen Luzhu went directly to the Sun family cloth village next door.
Aunt Sun saw Shen Luzhu coming in, and hurriedly beckoned someone to sit down:
"But what I asked you to ask has come to fruition? You even came here to do something, and it would be good if I came."
"There's nothing to do left and right, and I'm idle, my aunt wants to ask about it, I told Chu Yi, I told Chu Yi about it, and he also found several families at that time, most of them are quite dedicated, but you also know that my house was not bought through a house in the end, and he is not very clear, so he might as well find a few more to try."
Aunt Sun nodded and said, "I think it's the same, this kind of thing pays attention to chance, I haven't heard of any house that can be introduced as soon as it is introduced, but I am a little anxious."
Shen Luzhu thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, my family bought a house at that time and looked for a long time, before I saw a lovely one, like you said, this matter pays attention to chance, maybe there is no letter today, and Ming'er will sell it, how much does this house at home plan to sell, and the eldest mother can have a success in her heart?"
"I discussed with the old man, it will be about three hundred taels, if it is lower, it will be done, it is really not easy to sell, two hundred taels is also possible, who told us that the time is a little tight."
"Three hundred taels, why don't you sell this mansion to me?"
Aunt Sun was stunned when she heard this, took Shen Luzhu's hand, and leaned forward herself: "Luzhu, are you serious? Don't buy it because you see the eldest lady's family in a hurry and want to help us."
Shen Luzhu replied with a smile: "I do have the intention of helping the eldest lady, but I also really want to buy this house, I want to open a shop that sells shrouds, sell goods in the front, and recruit some embroidery girls to make shrouds here in the backyard."
"Is that true?"
"Naturally it's true, what did I do to lie to my aunt?"
Aunt Sun patted Shen Luzhu's hand and said, "Good boy, thank you for this friendship, but you wait for me a little bit about this, I have to discuss it with the old man."
Aunt Sun said that, she instructed the guys to entertain Shen Luzhu, and she turned around and went back to the inner courtyard, and after a while, the back door was pushed open again, and the old couple walked out from behind the door.
Seeing this, Shen Luzhu hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and got up to say hello.
"Sit, Luzhu, you sit."
Aunt Sun and her old couple came to sit next to Shen Luzhu, and then spoke again: "Luzhu, if you really want to buy my house, then I will sell it to you, but it doesn't need three hundred taels, two hundred taels will do."
Shen Luzhu was afraid that after saying that she was going to buy it, Aunt Sun would tell her a cheap price, so she deliberately concealed her thoughts and asked the price in advance, but she couldn't agree at this time.
"This can't be done, how can we take advantage of your old couple."
Uncle Sun waved his hand and said, "How can it be called taking advantage, we have lived in this house for many years, and we have feelings, if we sell it to something we don't recognize, we are not at ease, our two families are getting along well, hand it over to your little couple, we feel comfortable."
Aunt Sun also persuaded: "That's right, besides, we are going to leave in a few days, this house has not been sold, it's also a heart disease, isn't it, even if you do me a big favor for us, how can it not be cheaper."
"What is this said by the eldest mother, even if I don't buy this house, I don't have to worry about selling it, but the time is tight, how can I take advantage of the fire to rob it, I said that three hundred taels will be three hundred taels, if the eldest mother refuses, then I will go to find another house."
Aunt Sun saw that Shen Luzhu didn't seem to be cheating, so she smiled and said, "You kid, you still don't agree to give you cheaper, Cheng, then I'll listen to you, three hundred taels will be three hundred taels." By the way, you said that you want to make a shroud shop, so where have you already selected the fabrics to buy from?"
Shen Luzhu shook his head and said, "I only had the idea of opening a shroud shop recently, I haven't had time to think about it yet, but does my aunt have a recommended dyeing workshop?"
Aunt Sun patted Shen Luzhu's hand when she heard this, and happily introduced her to the door of fabric trading and said: "I guess you are not very familiar with the trading of this fabric, such as my family, all kinds of fabrics must be prepared, naturally you can't just take the goods from one, as long as it is agreed, most of the workshops can be delivered to the door regularly."
Although what you want to do is a shroud shop, but this
The price of the garment is generally determined according to the complexity of the fabric, craftsmanship and embroidery, of which the fabric accounts for the main part, and I think your shroud should be about the same."
Shen Luzhu this morning, but also just thought about the future division of labor in the shroud shop, as for the raw materials and pricing, I haven't thought about it, if she goes back and waits for her to figure it out, it will take a lot of effort to think about it, and now Aunt Sun's explanation has saved her a lot of things.
"The top of the fabric is less, make two sets of panning to fill the façade, the mid-range general is more, this part of the sales are bigger, and there are also slightly worse fabrics, and there is no need to put it outside when it is done, just put it under the counter, and take it out if you need it, which is also convenient."
Shen Luzhu listened carefully to the experience taught by Aunt Sun, and nodded frequently in response, these are the experiences that the Sun family has gained from doing cloth farming for more than ten years, and others may come to ask for advice, but they may not necessarily tell it.
Older people are like this, they like to tell the juniors some experience and truth, Aunt Sun looked at Shen Luzhu and listened very seriously, and she was even more unreserved: "My family has a few long-term cooperative workshops, and the fabrics made are quite good in color and touch.
Shen Luzhu hurriedly excused himself and said, "The eldest lady has already told me a lot, this is the matter of finding a workshop, tell us the name and address, and we will go by ourselves when we go back, how can it be good to trouble the uncle to follow and toss."
Hearing this, Uncle Sun insisted: "You don't understand, my family has been cooperating with those workshops for a long time, I will take you there, maybe you can sell me a face and give me a good purchase price, if you go by yourself, be careful to ask someone to knock on the bamboo pole."
"What the old man said is reasonable, Luzhu, you don't have to excuse yourself."
Shen Luzhu was no longer polite when he heard this: "Then it will trouble the uncle and the aunt."
