Chapter two hundred and ten, the shopkeeper, the owner is not in harmony?
"Go to the left and have a look." Yu Xijiao said.
Yu Zhuqing nodded, and several people followed the waiter to the left.
On the left side are several counters, which contain various small embroidery items, as well as colored threads and other objects related to the embroidery items. At first glance, it seems that there is a dazzling array of things to see.
There are several small square tables next to the counter, next to the window, and the waiter brings tea, so you can drink tea and enjoy the view while choosing.
There is a river outside the window. From the window, you can not only see the scenery on the other side of the river, but also enjoy the river view. The weather is getting hotter and the wind blows from the window. Sitting by the window is very cool.
The business was very good, and there were people sitting at every small square table. When the waiter brought the two sisters over, there happened to be a table of guests getting up. The waiter knew these two people as soon as he saw their demeanor and the two maids following them.
They were distinguished guests. He came over and led them to sit down.
"Is there any other place that's quieter?" Yu Xijiao didn't sit down in a hurry and looked around.
There were many guests around, including women and men who came with them. The women sitting in front of the window were basically accompanied by men, waiting for the tea to be served. The men sat drinking tea and enjoying the scenery while the women went over.
Choose.
"You two ladies, wait a moment." The waiter was a smart man. He knew at a glance that this distinguished guest was disgusted, so he no longer led them to the square table. Instead, he led them to a counter and then to the back.
There were many accessories on the counter, and they looked very exquisite. The two sisters were not in a hurry and asked the clerk in front of the counter to choose a few pieces to look at first. Yu Xijiao chose the sachet. The embroidery on the sachet was good, quite satisfactory, and it was considered relatively good.
The embroidery is outstanding, even though it is a very small piece of embroidery, it can be seen that the embroidery of the embroidery shop is really thoughtful.
Although it is not very spiritual and the material is average, it is still a good choice.
The guy who led the way hurriedly came out from behind and said with a smile: "You two girls, there is a small private room in the back. It will be vacant. If you two girls want to sit down and choose carefully, you can go and sit in the private room."
Yu Xijiao looked at Yu Zhuqing, who nodded.
Putting down the embroidery in their hands, Yu Xijiao and Yu Zhuqing followed the waiter and walked inside. After walking a few steps, they turned a corner and found several small private rooms separated by screens.
In fact, these small private rooms are in the same direction as the previous small square tables, but there happens to be a counter separated by a wooden board. From the outside, it seems that this place is already inside the embroidery shop.
The scenery here is similar to the one we saw just now, with the same river view behind.
The two sat down, and the waiter brought tea and said with a smile: "Whatever embroidery the two girls need, the younger one can get it all. The two girls can just sit down and choose carefully. There is no need to go outside."
Judging from the appearance of these two girls, they must come from aristocratic families. They have not yet taken off their curtains and hats, which shows that they have extremely strict family upbringing.
"Thank you." Yu Xi said softly.
Mingyue stepped forward and explained what Yu Xijiao and Yu Zhuqing wanted to see one by one. The clerk nodded while taking notes.
After he stepped back, he thoughtfully opened the screen door for them.
There was no one next door and it sounded very quiet.
"Sister, this business seems to be very good. The shopkeeper here must be a person who knows how to do business. Sister, do you know who he is?" Yu Xijiao looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
Although I just came in and sat down, I can see that the waiter is very smart, the interior is well decorated, and he will respond accordingly according to the needs of different people.
Several screens here separate several private rooms, which are prepared for the daughter of an aristocratic family like myself who has been in a boudoir for a long time and is inconvenient to see her foreign husband.
It doesn't mean that the daughter of an aristocratic family must go here when she comes. It's just that she has this request. She loves peace and quiet and needs to sit down and choose.
Therefore, several places on the side are still vacant.
"It's Aunt Li." Yu Zhuqing said, taking off the curtain hat on her head and putting it aside. Mingyue also helped Yu Xi take it, making her feel relaxed.
"Miss Li was once a maid by her mother's side. She followed her mother when she was a child. Later, she got married, but the marriage was not good. She almost died in the hands of that family. Later, her mother rescued Aunt Li, and then she helped
While my mother handles the affairs of this embroidery village, she is the one in charge of the embroidery village now." Yu Zhuqing thought for a moment and said.
"Can you trust me?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyebrows and asked.
Yu Zhuqing was silent for a moment, shook her head, sighed bitterly and said: "I don't know, the last time I saw Aunt Li was when I was looking at the account books with my wife. We met alone a few years ago."
Yu Zhuqing did not have much freedom in the Xuanpinghou Mansion. He spent half of the year in the nunnery outside, saying that he wanted to worship his relatives. The daughter of a well-off family did it like a Qingxiu. Many people said that in fact everything was
What Qian means is that when Yu Zhuqing goes to the nunnery, it is equivalent to being imprisoned.
He was not allowed to act casually and was bullied by nuns. Qian seemed to know nothing about this.
Yu Zhuqing was not sensible when she was young, and she once complained to Qian, but Qian promised well in front of everyone, but turned around and let the nuns bully Yu Zhuqing even more.
When the other half was in the Xuanping Hou Mansion, Qian would not take Yu Zhuqing out of the house. She only said that Yu Zhuqing liked to be quiet and was unwilling to attend banquets, which made people think that she had an extremely weird temperament.
With these two points in mind, who would marry the adopted daughter of Marquis Xuanping?
"I just took a look, and there weren't a lot of people. Didn't the eldest sister say before that there are too many people?" Yu Xijiao said thoughtfully.
She had been checking the store when she came in. Yu Zhuqing kept saying that overstaffing was the reason why the shop suffered losses.
"I... don't know." Yu Zhuqing frowned.
There was a knock at the door, and the two of them stopped talking. Mingyue opened the half-open door, and the waiter walked in with a smile, holding a large tray in his hand, which contained the small items that Mingyue had just mentioned.
Seeing that Yu Xijiao and Yu Zhuqing had taken off their curtain hats, the waiter hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look around for fear of disturbing the two distinguished guests.
Mingyue took it and placed it on the table. There were a lot of them, and the table was immediately full.
Yu Xijiao picked up a sachet and looked at it. Compared with the sachet she just looked at outside, this sachet looked more delicate and the embroidery work was better.
"Man, is this sachet better than the ones outside?" Yu Xijiao asked.
"It is indeed better than the ones outside. These good sachets are placed at the back. If some distinguished guests want them, we will take them out." The waiter smiled respectfully.
"How about comparing the price with the ones outside?" Yu Xijiao gently pinched the material of her purse.
"It's naturally a little higher than the ones outside. They are often chosen by daughters from aristocratic families like the girls. If it's just a sachet from outside, the girls may not be interested in it. Our manager specially hired one from Jiangnan with extremely skilled craftsmanship.
The embroiderer came here and embroidered it specially. Originally, these sachets were also ordered, but it happened that a guest left Beijing and said he didn't want them for the time being, so these sachets were left."
The waiter was very talkative. Not only did he explain why such a good sachet was left behind, he also praised them.
"He is one who can talk. If he can talk like this, your boss's business will be prosperous and he will give you lots of rewards." Yu Xijiao smiled.
"What kind of reward? I can't even eat anymore." The waiter said out of emotion.
"Such a good business, but you still can't make a living?" Yu Xi asked softly.
"Well..." The waiter immediately felt that he was speechless. He hurriedly stopped, laughed twice, and said vaguely: "Actually, it's not bad. I just said it casually."
Seeing that the waiter was very tight-lipped, Yu Xijiao changed the question: "The shopkeeper here should be a woman, right?"
"Yes, our shopkeeper is a woman. We all call her Aunt Li. She is an excellent person." Upon hearing that Yu Xijiao no longer asked about money, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly.
"How do you know your shopkeeper is a very good person?" Yu Xijiao became interested and wrapped her fingers around the string of a sachet and shook it.
"This..." The guy just said it casually. Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him was really serious. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "We have a guy here. Something happened at home, and he almost lost his life.
He couldn't even afford to eat, so it was Aunt Li who helped by paying him half a year's worth of silver before his family could survive."
"The shopkeeper is very courageous." Yu Xijiao chuckled.
"Our shopkeeper is really good. There is no such good shopkeeper anymore. He is kind and righteous, but right now..." After saying this, the waiter sighed unconsciously and frowned, unable to bear his words.
The shopkeeper complained, "Our shopkeeper's life is not good. We haven't met a good owner."
After saying that, the waiter immediately knew that he had made a mistake and said hurriedly: "You two girls, the younger one is just talking nonsense. Please don't say anything."
Yu Xijiao looked at Yu Zhuqing, this is interesting. The eldest sister has a kind-hearted temperament. Although she will follow Qian to see the store's affairs, she really doesn't know the specific things in the store. The owner of the stall and the shopkeeper
In fact, their power is quite large. According to the eldest sister, Qian does not have too much control over the shopkeepers of these shops.
Yu Xi is charming but smiles silently.
Mingyue answered: "Don't worry, our girls won't make any noise. I just think that the shopkeeper here is quite capable. He can actually block out a few private rooms in the back to rest. He is really a smart person. It happens that our girls also want to open one."
In an embroidery shop, if your shopkeeper doesn't get along with your boss, our girl is actually a kind-hearted person."
Mingyue recommended to the guy.
The waiter looked at Mingyue in surprise, and then took a peek at the two beautiful girls. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look around.
"This... girl, this matter... the kid can't make the decision, and... it was the kid who said this just now. In fact, the boss... is pretty good." The waiter said hesitantly, it was really true just now.
It was just a casual complaint.
"If you can't make the decision, go and invite your shopkeeper over. How about we girls tell your shopkeeper ourselves?" Mingyue suggested.
"This..." The guy didn't know how he ended up here.
"Go quickly! Our girls are waiting here for your shopkeeper to come over." Ming Yue added with a smile, and extended her hand to signal the waiter to go out first.
The waiter walked out the door in a daze. He didn't wake up until he was outside the door. He looked back and stamped his feet vigorously. He couldn't solve the problem and had to go to the shopkeeper...
