After Bai Xiu Niang, several more embroidery workshops came to visit.
The remuneration they offer is also very generous. The price offered by one embroidery workshop is even similar to that of Manfang Embroidery Workshop.
Shen Xiu declined them with the same excuse, saying that she had to think carefully.
The directors of several embroidery workshops thought they had guessed Shen Xiu's intention, thinking that she was comparing prices from different embroidery workshops, or that she was waiting for the embroidery workshop with the highest bid.
Because the contract between Shen Xiu and Fan Guangzu was done in private, they all thought that Shen Xiu had not thought about it for the time being.
"My good aunt, what do you mean?" Fan Guangzu was both confused and anxious. "I heard now that many people know about this matter. Even the casino has started trading.
Bet on who you will end up with!"
"So, this matter has spread throughout the city." Shen Xiu was not in a hurry at all, but said slowly.
Fan Guangzu said: "Isn't it? Everyone says you are waiting for someone to raise the price! But you have signed the contract with me a long time ago. Isn't this just a joke to everyone? If anyone knows the truth, we will be offended.
There are fewer people.”
"If you don't tell, I won't tell. Who will know." Shen Xiu said slowly: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Fan, I know what's appropriate. I will settle this matter tomorrow."
How could she, a person who cherishes her reputation so much, offend people for no reason? It was not because the reputation of Jinxin Embroidery Workshop was too low. In order to build momentum for the embroidery workshop, she had to come up with such a trick.
Fan Guangzu didn't know what she was going to do. Before he could speak, Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Fan, you don't have to ask. You will know what I am planning by tomorrow at the latest."
After Shen Xiu finished speaking, he left, leaving Fan Guangzu stunned for a long time, not understanding what the other party was planning.
But the answer was soon revealed.
Early the next morning, Fan Guangzu had breakfast at home and came to the embroidery workshop around Chen time as usual.
He was urging the embroidery ladies to quickly embroider the batch of Heart Sutras requested by Mrs. Meng, when the newly hired man came to tell him that shopkeeper Zhang from the Nishang Embroidery Workshop was here.
The status of Nishang Embroidery Workshop in Fucheng is second only to that of Manfang Embroidery Workshop. When Fan Guangzu heard that the shopkeeper from the other party was coming, his heart suddenly jumped, and he felt that something was wrong.
But in front of the embroiderer and the waiter, Fan Guangzu didn't want to get into trouble, so he managed to calm down and scolded the waiter: "Since we have guests, why don't you invite them in? Let's make a pot of good tea."
"It's not necessary for good tea." Shopkeeper Zhang had already walked in. After taking a look at the layout of Jinxinxiufang, he sneered and said: "They say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It seems that this is not true.
It’s not wrong. I’ve really seen something today, so you can take care of yourself!”
Fan Guangzu was puzzled by what he said. Before he could react, the other party had already left.
"What did he mean?" Fan Guangzu waited until he left and became angry. "Go and find out what happened?"
"Shopkeeper, I heard about it." Half an hour later, the clerk came back panting, "Now the word is spreading on the streets about our Jinxin Embroidery Shop."
"What did you tell us about Jinxinxiufang?" Shopkeeper Fan asked anxiously, "You are talking!"
"Shopkeeper Fan, there is no need to ask him." At this moment, Shen Xiu walked in, "I let people show off and said that Jinxin Embroidery House was willing to hire me as the manager of Jinxin Embroidery House for ten thousand taels of wages.
Embroidery Lady."
"Ten thousand taels of silver?" Fan Guangzu said, dumbfounded: "Ms. Shen, what are you going to do?"
"Can't Shopkeeper Fan figure out what I'm going to do? I want Jinxin Embroidery Shop to become famous in a short period of time, and this is the best way I've come up with."
"After this news is released, it will soon spread throughout the city. By then, Jinxinxiufang's reputation will suddenly be established."
"But this is a lie!" Fan Guangzu said: "How can I get ten thousand taels of silver?"
"It's still the same thing. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know that this is a lie." Shen Xiu said slowly, "Besides, ten thousand taels of silver is not much. With me as a living sign, let alone ten thousand taels." We can earn even twenty thousand taels of silver."
She behaved so calmly and calmly that Fan Guangzu was infected by her and gradually calmed down.
"It's just that as soon as this news comes out, those colleagues can't stop scolding me to death." Fan Guangzu now understood the purpose of shopkeeper Zhang's visit, he came here to vent his dissatisfaction.
After all, the wages of the embroiderers are agreed upon and they will not be given too high prices. The dividends from the embroidery studio go more toward the owners and shopkeepers.
"They can scold them if they want to. Compared with Jinxinxiufang, a few scoldings are nothing." Shen Xiudao, "By the way, I will have a custom-made plaque delivered to you in the afternoon. When the time comes, shopkeeper Fan will remember Hang it in the most conspicuous place in the embroidery workshop."
"What plaque?" Fan Guangzu asked warily, "What are you going to do again?"
Shen Xiu smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, Shopkeeper Fan, it's just a plaque, it's just the few words on it that are special."
Fan Guangzu felt relieved and asked: "What words are written on it?"
"The best embroidery in Fucheng." Shen Xiu said each word one by one. "I thought these words were loud enough, so I asked Mr. Meng to inscribe these words for me."
At the No. 1 embroidery in Fucheng, Fan Guangzu's feet went weak. His original relaxed mood was gone, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, these words are too ostentatious."
Shen Xiu solemnly said: "Shopkeeper Fan, you do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Do you want Jinxin Embroidery Workshop to collapse or do you want it to truly become the best embroidery workshop in Fucheng in the future?"
"Of course it's the latter." Fan Guangzu said without even thinking.
"That's enough." Shen Xiudao, "So you have to listen to me on this matter. Don't worry, I won't harm you or Jinxinxiufang. After all, we are sitting in the same boat now. When the time comes, I will naturally have this plaque removed."
Fan Guangzu hesitated for a moment, but in the end his desire to make Jinxinxiufang shine in the future prevailed.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Fan Guangzu was willing to listen to Shen Xiu on this matter, not only because there were plenty of lice and no worries about debts, but the ten thousand taels of silver were enough to offend his colleagues. But also because Shen Xiu was really reliable in doing things. If it weren't for the other party, Jinxinxiufang still cannot get forgiveness from Mrs. Meng.
It was precisely because of these two considerations that Fan Guangzu changed his mind and decided to listen to Shen Xiu.
When the plaque was delivered in the afternoon, Fan Guangzu personally took the workers and hung the plaque in the embroidery workshop.
On the way to deliver the plaque, the five big characters were so conspicuous that it attracted the attention of many people.
It wasn't until the plaque was carried to Jinxinxiufang that people on the street came to their senses. It turned out that the plaque was customized by Jinxinxiufang.
It's just an embroidery shop that's about to close, so why does it have the right to have these words attached to it?
One passerby couldn't help laughing at the behavior of Jinxin Embroidery Workshop, and another person said: "These words are not unworthy. I heard that Jinxin Embroidery Workshop spent ten thousand taels of silver to invite an embroiderer back, and the embroiderer's embroidery
Her skills are said to be so great that she even compares to Bai Xiu Niang."
"With such an embroiderer, being the best embroiderer in this city is not a boast."
Soon, the news about the first embroidered plaque in the city, and the ten thousand taels of wages, spread throughout the city.
Suddenly, Jinxinxiufang was known to almost everyone.
Regardless of whether people praise Jinxinxiufang, are curious about it, or ridicule it, in short, Jinxinxiufang has quickly become popular in a short period of time.
