The second most praise for her clothes was the praise from her father-in-law, and the most important thing was that Mrs. Gu was slapped in the face.
Mrs. Shen has disliked this step-mother-in-law for a long time, but Mrs. Gu was cautious in doing things and could not catch her at all.
Now that she is fine, she has left a reputation as a thrifty and virtuous person in front of her father-in-law. But Mrs. Gu's face is completely gone.
As soon as Mrs. Shen thought of this, she was very happy. She felt that it was a good idea for Shen Xiu to make these fine cotton clothes.
So after the third day of March, she went to the embroidery workshop in person and said she wanted to make a few more fine cotton clothes like this.
"In addition to making several outfits of women's clothing, I also want to make several outfits of men's clothing." Mrs. Shen said to Shen Xiu, "Two of them are for my husband, and the other two are to honor my father-in-law."
When Shen said this, she smiled at Shen Xiu and said, "You made me stand out. In order to repay you, I have to do something. As long as my father-in-law wears these fine cotton clothes to meet guests, your embroidery workshop will not be the same in the future."
I’m worried that there will be no business.”
Of course Shen Xiu knew that with his status as the prefect of Qin, if he could wear fine cotton clothes, then he would not have to worry about selling these fine cotton clothes.
"Young Madam's words really speak to my heart. In this case, I still don't need money for these clothes of Young Madam."
Mrs. Shen hurriedly said: "This is not possible. I have already bought several sets of clothes. I have to pay for these sets of clothes." After saying this, he smiled at Shen Xiu and said, "You don't know, in order to win the father-in-law's
Congratulations, I shamelessly said that I came up with the idea of making clothes out of fine cotton. If my father-in-law asks about it in the future, you have to fill it in for me."
Shen Xiu smiled and said: "What's the point? It doesn't matter who came up with the idea. What's important is that the fine cotton clothes will be easy to sell in the future."
Since Shen loved this false name, Shen Xiu let her take it. Anyway, this false name was harmless, as long as she could benefit from it.
At Shen's insistence, Shen Xiu accepted the money.
After Mr. Shen left, there were more customers in the embroidery shop, all of whom came for the jackets made of fine cotton.
Some people are attracted by the cutout embroidery on muslin clothes, while others are attracted by the lightness of muslin jackets.
The business of the embroidery workshop has never been as good as it is today. In just one day, dozens of customers came to the door, all of whom wanted custom-made fine cotton clothes.
Wen Xiu Niang came to the embroidery workshop early in the morning. There were so many customers in the embroidery workshop all of a sudden, and they all came for the fine cotton jackets. It was difficult for her not to want to know.
As soon as Shen Xiu had calculated the customer's deposit, Wen Xiu Niang walked up to her.
"Ms. Wen Xiu, you are here at the right time. From tomorrow on, you will lead two embroidery girls to make these fine cotton clothes. I have already taught you the cut and paste embroidery used on the clothes. I believe you will be able to get started quickly.
"
Shen Xiu didn't mention a word about Wen Xiu Niang's previous doubts about the fine cotton clothes, as if this incident never happened.
This made Wen Xiu Niang swallow all the words she had prepared. She thought Shen Xiu would proudly tell her that fine cotton was very popular, which showed that her original idea was wrong.
But Shen Xiu didn't mention it, and his tone was calm and calm, as if his idea had been proved to be right. This matter was not important at all. What was important was the business of the embroidery workshop.
This attitude of not caring about her own face, but only focusing on the interests of the embroidery workshop, also infected Wen Xiu Niang. In the final analysis, she raised objections for the good of the embroidery workshop.
Since everyone is doing it for the good of the embroidery workshop, then who is right and who is wrong does not matter!
Wen Xiu Niang once again felt Shen Xiu's strengths in dealing with people, and she couldn't help feeling that it was indeed easier to work with such a boss than with other people.
She quickly put aside all the thoughts in her mind and went to work directly with the two embroiderers.
"Ms. Shen, I just did the math. We are running out of silk." As soon as Wen Xiu Niang left, Guo Abacus came with the ledger.
Shen Xiu had already thought of this problem, and she said slowly: "When the customers come again, you tell them. We don't have much silk in stock. If you want silk jackets, the price will be twice as high." "If they think it's expensive, tell them we can use duck down instead of silk. The price of the jacket made of duck down will remain the same. In short, let them choose."
Guo Abacus asked: "Can duck down also be used to make jackets?"
Shen Xiudao: "Since silk can replace cotton, why can't duck down? As for whether duck down can keep you warm, you will know after you try it after the clothes are made."
"Then where are we going to find so much duck down?"
Shen Xiudao: "I have already asked people to take care of this matter."
As early as after Guo Abacus bought the silk, Shen Xiu thought of using duck down to make jackets.
After all, Guo Abacus bought too little silk to make many jackets.
The warmth retention of duck down is no worse than that of silk. Using duck down to replace silk is the best solution Shen Xiu can think of.
People who can accept silk will most likely be able to accept duck down.
When the business of Nishang Embroidery Shop is booming, some people can't sit still.
The first one to lose his temper was Fan Guangzu.
Shen Xiu was not surprised when he saw him coming, and asked the waiter to serve him tea.
"Shopkeeper Fan, let's have a taste of this white tea. If it tastes good, please change the green tea to white tea at Jinxinxiufang!" Shen Xiu didn't mention Shopkeeper Fan's purpose and only let him taste the tea.
Fan Guangzu was not in the mood to drink tea at this moment. He took a sip of tea and put down the cup, completely unaware of Shen Xiu's deep meaning.
"Ms. Shen, I'm here this time..." Fan Guangzu coughed lightly and said, "Didn't you give your sister-in-law one of those fine cotton clothes? It looks good to me."
Shen Xiu smiled: "Sister-in-law, just dress well. I'll have someone dress me up for Shopkeeper Fan some other day."
Fan Guangzu realized that Shen Xiu didn't hear the tone of his words, or that she was deliberately pretending not to understand, so he could only continue: "Didn't Madam Shen ask me before if I wanted to make some fine cotton clothes to sell?"
Fan Guangzu said with a smile: "I think this is a good idea. Nowadays, the price of silk and satin is getting higher and higher. The clothes made of fine cotton are cheap and easy to sell. They are not worse than the business of high-quality embroidery."
The source of profit for an embroidery workshop is nothing more than high-quality embroidery, medium-grade embroidery and custom-made clothes.
You can earn a lot of money from high-quality embroidery, but you can only receive a few orders a year.
If you do medium embroidery, you won't earn much money, but you will receive more orders than if you do high-grade embroidery.
Custom-made clothes, although the profit from these clothes is not much, only a few taels of silver per piece, but the quantity is large, it can almost be worth the profit from the combined profits of top-grade embroidery and medium-grade embroidery.
Fan Guangzu himself runs an embroidery workshop, so of course he knows that the fine cotton clothes are very profitable. Otherwise, he would not come here licking his face.
The only thing he was unsure about was Shen Xiu's attitude.
He had politely rejected Shen Xiu's proposal before, but when the fine cotton clothes business started to pick up, he came over to get a share of the pie.
If Shen Xiu was an angry person, he would definitely not agree.
However, Fan Guangzu still held on to some hope and felt that Shen Xiu was not that kind of person, so he waited expectantly for Shen Xiu's answer.
