Embroidery is also called embroidery, also known as needle embroidery, which uses embroidery needles to lead color thread, and according to the design patterns, needles are thorned on the fabric, and embroidery marks are used to form patterns or text.

By the Ming Dynasty, embroidery was unprecedentedly prosperous. Su embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, Hunan embroidery and Shu embroidery were known as the "Four Famous Embroidery". In addition, there are Gu embroidery, Beijing embroidery, Ou embroidery, Lu embroidery, Fujian embroidery, Bian embroidery, Han embroidery and Miao embroidery, etc., each with its own styles. The embroidery in Ningxian County belongs to the category of Fujian embroidery.

After the two families had dinner and returned home, Zhou put all the embroidery flowers coming in from the embroidery workshop and carefully checked them. Chen Xi glanced casually. They were indeed all good materials and the flowers were embroidered beautifully, but just a little thought, you will know that it is difficult to have a market.

The most obvious problem is that Zhou's embroidery is purchased from the embroidery workshop. It is said that the price is not high, but in fact it has been exploited by the embroidery workshop. Even if there is really someone who needs it, those people can just go to the embroidery workshop to buy it. Why ask the vendors to intercept profits from it?

What's more, women's most basic skills are female heroes these days. There are not many people who really need to buy embroidery. If there is no large-scale order for embroidery, you won't make much money by selling it alone.

However, Chen Xi did not explain it to Zhou.

Businessmen have to suffer losses before they know that business is difficult to do. Zhou was in a hurry, and he refuted rashly, Zhou didn't believe it and might even beat him up.

Sure enough, Zhou went out happily for the first two days, but after experiencing the miserable situation of only selling yi pieces in two days, Zhou began to face up to whether there was anything wrong with the business.

"It's really strange. I think the business of the embroidery shop is doing very well. Why didn't anyone buy it when we set up the stall?"

Zhou was in the room, looking at the colorful embroidery after it was spread out, and he seemed to be asking people, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

Chen Xi was sitting upright now, leaning down on the small wooden table in the middle of the yard to practice calligraphy. He raised his head and said, "Mom, you said that the business of the embroidery workshop is good, but what I do is not a business of the embroidery workshop."

"What do you know, little brat? I'll sell it cheaper tomorrow. I should be able to sell a few more items. Well, that's it."

Chen Xi stuck out his tongue, but his face disagreed. Originally, a handkerchief embroidered with flowers, birds, fish and insects only earned two cents. If it was a little cheaper, it would be a complete loss of money and gain publicity.

The plague in Ninghua County just passed. At this time, what the people lacked was daily necessities, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and even cloth, coal, and cotton. As for embroidery, Chen Xi really couldn't imagine anyone who would have the heart to buy it.

The next day, when Chen Xi came home from school, Zhou had already returned from the stall. It turned out that even if she lowered the price of embroidery to a fair price in the morning, no one was interested. She waited on the street for more than two hours, but Jitou asked for a tax of four cents. Zhou was angry and simply bought the stall back, and kept cursing Jitou and Guanya who were eating people and not spitting bones.

"Tell me, they do nothing, they will charge me four cents when walking on the street. I said I couldn't sell it, and they wouldn't agree to give them a handkerchief to pay for it. I was so angry."

When Hui Niang heard that Zhou's business was not going well, she specially closed the pharmacy shop to comfort her: "My sister knows when she is used to business. She has to deal with the government, but also deal with Jitou. Jitou will take people to the streets to collect money every few days. If it happens to the festival, there will be gifts. Because of this, those thieves dare not cause trouble on the street."

Only then did Zhou realize that Jitou was not targeting her on purpose, but she happened to catch up with her. This time it was really unfavorable to go to the army. He made two cents and lost four cents, and lost two cents in vain. This is not the capital she bought embroidery.

I was excited to do a small business, but in just a few days, I almost wiped out Zhou's enthusiasm.

"Or, sister shouldn't go out and show up in public and do the street stalls?" Hui Niang suddenly said: "My sister runs this pharmacy alone, and she's really helpless!"

"My sister has no husband, so she is afraid of causing gossip for outsiders. It is better for her sister to come and help her get paid or be a half-owner to share the profits. In short, if she has her sister to help manage the pharmacy, she can take time to spend more time with Xier."

Zhou's face was full of shock! Although Huiniang Pharmacy was not large in scale, after the outbreak of the plague, the pharmacy had long been famous. The people in the city seemed to have recognized that the medicinal materials sold by Huiniang Pharmacy were the most authentic and had many customers every day. In addition, even the county magistrate gave plaques of medicine, no one dared to be guilty, which avoided the fight among his peers.

This was when the pharmacy business was booming, but Hui Niang was willing to divide the business and let Zhou start, which made her a little flattered.

"Sister, this is not very good."

"What's wrong with it?" Sun Huiniang smiled, "If my sister hadn't been blessed to meet her sister's family, let alone doing this business, even the shop and the yard wouldn't be able to keep it."

"My sister is too busy now and often feels overwhelmed. My sister just thinks it's considerate to me and come and help! My sister doesn't treat her badly. In the future, we can share the profits of the pharmacy."

"No, no, then I'm really going to be stabbed by someone!"

Zhou Shiyi heard that she had a 50% share of the money, and even if she wanted to invest in a pharmacy, she knew it was not appropriate. She was originally a free deal, but now Hui Niang still had to give her half of the profit, so she didn't want to accept it.

In the end, the two women pushed me and finally agreed that Hui Niang would give Zhou a 30% of the profit of the drug store. In this way, the Shen family became the shareholder of the drug store, and Zhou finally had a legitimate life and no longer had to be a girl or set up stalls along the street to hawk.

After this plague in the south, the inventory of medicinal materials in the pharmacy shop is seriously insufficient. Due to the current booming business, it will be out of stock in a few days. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase medicinal materials from other places to replenish the goods, which requires capital.

Zhou has dividends, but he also has to use the money Hui Niang gave her before as the working capital of the pharmacy. For Zhou, this is a sure profit and no loss, so he is naturally very happy.

A few days later, a new batch of medicinal materials were shipped.

The price of this batch of medicinal materials is more than twice as expensive as half a year ago. After the medicinal materials entered the pharmacy, Hui Niang was very worried. She didn't want the price to increase, which made it difficult for the villagers to bear. However, the purchase price of this batch of medicinal materials was very high. She just asked Zhou to invest in the pharmacy as the owner of the pharmacy and did not want Zhou to lose money.

"How about we sell the medicinal materials at the purchase price? The prices of medicinal materials in the outside medicine shop have basically doubled. Although we are a bit sorry to the people for guaranteed sales, fortunately we don't lose money."

Hui Niang talked to Zhou, but actually wanted to get Zhou's consent. After all, when opening a business, it also requires labor and miscellaneous taxes. If you don't make money, you will actually lose money.

Zhou had no idea. Hui Niang was far more experienced than her in the drug store. She agreed without any opinion.

As the second in command of the pharmacy shop, Zhou also started to run the shop. She was illiterate and Hui Niang needed to be responsible for the accounting. She first learned to remember the names of the medicinal materials and remember what medicine should be placed clearly. This requires Zhou to know the words outside the drawer containing the medicinal materials.

In the first few days of managing the pharmacy business, Zhou was learning to recognize words every day, which was irrelevant to her.

When Chen Xi came to the pharmacy for help after school, Zhou usually pulled him to ask what the words outside the drawer were. If he recognized it and grabbed the wrong medicine, it would not only delay the patient's condition, but may even cause serious consequences due to the conflict between the properties of the medicine.

Zhou knew that this matter should not be neglected, so he worked very hard when studying.
