The front door of Meixiang Embroidery Square was crowded with people who came to watch the excitement.
A customer held up the fine cotton jacket in his hand and said, "These are the clothes sold by your Meixiang Embroidery Shop. Can you see how they look like after washing?"
Shopkeeper Dong was hiding in the embroidery workshop and did not dare to come out at all.
The shopkeeper was like this, and a few of the waiters didn't even dare to show up.
So, just let the guests criticize their Mei Xiang Embroidery Shop outside.
Seeing more and more people gathering outside, Shi Xiuniang felt a little uneasy.
This fine cotton jacket is obviously the same as Nishang Embroidery Studio, using the same fine cotton and duck down. Why has Nishang Embroidery Studio been selling it for so long without any problems? How come it’s their turn to have problems with this dress?
.
Shopkeeper Dong couldn't figure out the problem, so he asked someone to call Shi Xiu Niang over.
In the morning, a customer came to return the goods. Shopkeeper Dong argued with him for a few words, and then he punched him in the face.
Shopkeeper Dong's right eye is still blue now, looking extremely funny.
Even though Shi Xiuniang had met her once, she was still a little funny when she saw her again, but she tried hard to hold it back and said in a serious manner: "Shopkeeper Dong, do you want to see me for something?"
Shopkeeper Dong sighed and said, "I asked you to come here for nothing else. These clothes are obviously in good condition. Why did they become like that as soon as they were exposed to water?"
He looked carefully at the washed muslin jacket and found that the jacket was indeed different from the original. The fluffy and soft jacket seemed to have shrunk and was no longer as fluffy and soft as before.
Shi Xiu Niang also couldn't figure out this question. She asked tentatively: "Could it be a problem with the duck down?"
Shopkeeper Dong shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. The duck down I buy is genuine and high-quality."
"Why is that?" Shi Xiuniang said, "We obviously use the same thing!"
The two of them thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was.
But the customers outside were still clamoring for an explanation from their embroidery shop.
Shopkeeper Dong was very worried. If this continued, the business would be out of business.
Those customers kept clamoring to return the clothes, but the clothes had already been washed, so how could they return them? If they returned them, wouldn't they have to pay to their death?
But if you don’t return the goods, how can you do this business?
Shopkeeper Zhou heard about the difficulties faced by Meixiang Embroidery Workshop and couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, Manfang Embroidery Workshop did not sell many fine cotton clothes.
Of course, there are also customers who come to our door and ask for returns.
Shopkeeper Zhou returned all the money to the customers for the sake of Manfang Embroidery Shop's reputation.
After all, Manfang Embroidery Workshop is the largest embroidery workshop in Fucheng, and it is rich and powerful, so this loss is nothing to worry about.
But other embroidery workshops that followed the trend were different. Like Meixiang Embroidery Workshop, they all encountered customers who returned goods.
Guo Abacus has been paying attention to this matter these days. When he heard the news, he came to tell Shen Xiu.
With a smile on his face, he told Shen Xiu all about the plight of those embroidery workshops.
Shen Xiu did not gloat, but asked: "In our embroidery shop, there have been no customers to return goods recently, right?"
Guo Abacus said: "No. The customers in our embroidery shop all bring back their muslin clothes for us to clean, so there are no problems with the muslin clothes we make."
Shen Xiudao: "This is a good opportunity to promote our Nishang Embroidery Workshop. You sent people to spread the word and said that the fine cotton clothes were originally made by Nishang Embroidery Workshop. Who knew that other embroidery workshops would be jealous and follow suit?
.”
"They just follow the trend, but they don't know that the duck down used in fine cotton clothes is very particular. That's why their clothes have problems."
Shen Xiudao: "Send more people to say good things about our Nishang Embroidery Shop, saying that the fine cotton clothes made by our Nishang Embroidery Shop are the most authentic. Otherwise, why would only customers from other embroidery shops return the goods? Why would our Nishang Embroidery Shop return the goods?" The fine cotton clothes, but there is nothing wrong with them.”
Guo Abacus said: "I understand what Mrs. Shen means. I will immediately send people to crowded places to publicize this matter."
Shen Xiudao: "There is one more thing that needs to be done. In the past few days, other embroidery shops must have received a lot of returns. You can take the initiative to come and buy those clothes back at a low price."
"Can I still have those clothes?" Guo Abacus asked: "Isn't duck down not suitable for swimming?"
Shen Xiudao: "It's not that duck down cannot be used in the water, it's better not to be used in the water. However, it's not impossible to have duck down after being used in the water. It would be a pity to throw away those fine cotton clothes. You can buy them back at a low price! I have them. How to restore them to their original state."
"But these clothes have been worn by others, so we can't sell them at a good price!"
Shen Xiudao: "After these clothes are restored to their original condition, we can donate them to the Salesian Bureau. It will not only make our dress embroidery shop famous, but it will also be a good deed."
The Salesian Bureau is an ancient orphanage, and there is one in Fucheng.
Shen Xiu has only heard of it, but has never been there.
Shopkeeper Guo said: "Ms. Shen is kind-hearted, so that's good. I heard that there are many orphans at the Salesian Bureau who are short of food and clothing. Sending these clothes can also relieve temporary emergencies."
While Shen Xiu and Guo Abacus were discussing this matter, Shi Xiu Niang was crying to Mrs. Gu about the plight of Meixiang Embroidery Workshop.
"Madam, you have to help our embroidery workshop. Nowadays, there are many customers outside the embroidery workshop who want to return goods. These customers will not give up until they return the goods. If this continues, how can our embroidery workshop do business?"
Mrs. Gu had a headache, "Aren't those fine cotton clothes good? Why are there problems?"
Shi Xiu Niang said: "We don't know either. It's obviously the same thing. We have a bunch of customers who want to return the goods, but there is not a single customer at Nishang Embroidery Shop who returns the goods."
What a fool, he can't even handle this.
Mrs. Gu didn't want to get involved in Meixiang Embroidery Workshop at all, but Shi Xiuniang had already asked for her help, and this matter had something to do with her.
She then said: "How do you want me to help you?"
Shi Xiu Niang said hurriedly: "We don't dare to work Mrs. Gu, as long as you send two servants to the gate of the embroidery workshop to scare the guests..."
Before Shi Xiu Niang finished speaking, Mrs. Gu's face had already turned cold: "Nonsense. Is it possible for this government servant to rebel? If adults find out, how should I explain it?"
Magistrate Qin has always cherished his reputation and has always restricted his family members to be cautious in their words and deeds.
Needless to say, his only son, Brother Kun, stayed in the library every day and had never been in trouble for so many years.
As for Mr. Shen, he came from a wealthy family and rarely went out and rarely had disputes with others.
His son and daughter-in-law have kept such a low profile, Mrs. Gu must be extra cautious even if she wants to take advantage of the power of the Qin Prefect.
The last time she used the power of the prefect's wife to force an embroiderer from the Nishang Embroidery Workshop to be their internal agent, she went a little too far.
Now, if we send officials to the embroidery workshop to drive away the guests, we are simply afraid that the Qin magistrate will not know about it.
Mrs. Gu simply refused: "This is absolutely impossible, you should find another way!"
In addition to asking Shi Xiu Niang to find another way, Mrs. Gu also had the idea of not having any contact with Shi Xiu Niang.
This Shi Xiu Niang is too stupid and clumsy, and is no match for Shen Xiu.
It seems that she has to find someone who is comparable to Shen Xiu in order to truly teach Shen Xiu a lesson.
