Jia Lin always felt that everything was not going well these days. He finally got the Nasha embroidery technique from the embroidery shop, but it was fake. Not only did he not earn a penny, but he also damaged the Ruyi Embroidery Shop for no reason.
reputation.
The house leaked and it rained all night. Just as Jia Lin was racking his brains to think of ways to save the business of the embroidery workshop, Zhu Xiu Niang wanted to leave the embroidery workshop on the pretext of being homesick.
When Jia Lin invited Zhu Xiu Niang, he offered many favorable conditions. One of them was that once Zhu Xiu Niang wanted to leave the embroidery workshop, Jia Lin, the employer, had to respect her wishes.
But Jia Lin couldn't understand why Zhu Xiu Niang left so well.
"As the boss, am I sorry for you?"
Zhu Xiu Niang was silent. Jia Lin treated her fairly well, but as a businessman he was a bit unscrupulous, otherwise Ruyi Embroidery Workshop would not have fallen to this point.
However, it was not the embroiderer's turn to intervene in these matters, so Zhu embroiderer said nothing more, except that she was homesick.
Jia Lin stayed with her for a few words, but found that Zhu Xiu Niang had decided to leave, so he had no choice but to let her go.
The news that Zhu Xiu Niang left Ruyi Embroidery Workshop quickly spread to the embroidery village.
Shopkeeper Liu and Hui Niang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
With Zhu Xiu Niang gone, Ruyi Embroidery Shop is like a tiger that has lost its claws and is no longer scary.
Shen Xiu did not tell anyone that Zhu Xiu Niang's departure was related to her. After restoring the twenty tents to their original state, they handed them over to Hui Niang.
Huiniang had an agreement with her, and the profits from these multiple accounts would be shared equally with her.
These twenty tents were bought at a price of fifty taels and then sold at a price of one hundred taels. Each tent would make a profit of fifty taels.
After calculation, twenty tents had a profit of one thousand taels. Shen Xiu could get half of the profit, which was five hundred taels of silver.
Madam Hui gave the money very happily. Ever since the Ruyi Embroidery Shop's multi-zig account had problems, the sales of the embroidery shop's multi-zig account were very good.
Now everyone is convinced that the things produced by the embroidery shop are genuine, so business is extremely prosperous.
Now, let alone five hundred taels of silver from the account, even two thousand taels of silver can be easily done.
When Hui Niang gave Shen Xiu five hundred taels of silver, she also gave her a red envelope, saying that it was thanks to her that Xiuzhuang could be where it is today.
Naturally, Shen Xiu didn't mind the money, so she took the money.
With more money in her hand, Shen Xiu bought some cooked food such as roasted chicken and goose when she went back.
It's late autumn now, and it's already getting cooler in the morning and evening.
When Shen Xiu returned home with food, she saw Liu'er sitting on the threshold of Xie San's mother's house, still wearing rags.
"Liu Hai, why are you sitting here?" Shen Xiu glanced at the old clothes he was wearing, "It's already September, why are you still wearing such thin clothes? What about the money I gave you, why don't you buy something?
Cotton clothes?"
Liuhai sniffed and said, "I gave all the money to Sanniang. Sanniang said she would make me some cotton clothes in a few days."
"I see Sanniang is very busy these days, how about I make you a cotton-padded coat?" Shen Xiu said, "Don't worry, I won't give you the cotton-padded coat for free. I still have something to ask you to help me with!"
Liu Hai heard that Shen Xiu was looking for him, so he followed her back to the house.
Shen Xiu returned to the house and said: "The water at home is gone. Please help me carry two loads of water first!"
Liu'a nodded happily, took the bucket and the load and walked out.
When he came back, Shen Xiu had almost prepared the food. There was still a lot of dry firewood in the kitchen, so Shen Xiu boiled a pot of hot water with the water Liu Yi picked up, and asked him if he wanted to use the hot water to take a bath.
Liuhai obviously hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I'll just rinse it with cold water."
Shen Xiudao: "You can't wash it clean with cold water. You take a bath with me, and I will measure your size later. Then you can wear cotton clothes. You can't wear new clothes with your body dirty!"
After saying that, Shen Xiu found a wooden basin for washing clothes, and after he finished taking a bath, she found some old clothes for him.
The old clothes were a big one, and when Liu Hao put them on, they were obviously one size too small, with his arms and calves exposed.
But even so, he was already very satisfied.
Shen Xiu waited for him to change his clothes, then called Da Ya to come out to eat, and asked Liu Hao to sit down too, "You can have dinner with me today! I will tell you about that after dinner."
Liu Hao hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down at the table.
There are not only roast chicken and roast goose on the table, but also twenty meat buns.
Liu Hao didn't dare to think about those roasted chicken and roasted goose. He just took a look at the meat buns. The meat buns were wrapped in oil paper and exuded a strong aroma of meat. Just looking at them made people salivate.
Shen Xiu first gave Daya a meat bun, and then said to Liu Hao, "You're welcome, eat it quickly!"
The meat buns sold at the street corner are full of ingredients, with thin skin and big fillings. The roasted chicken and goose are also very delicious.
Shen Xiu couldn't eat any more meat buns after eating the fourth one, but it was the first time for Da Ya to eat such delicious roast chicken, and she ate three meat buns with just the chicken legs.
As for Liu Hao, when Shen Xiu was eating his second bun, he had already devoured seven or eight buns.
It wasn't until he ate the ninth bun that he remembered something and looked at Shen Xiu carefully.
Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Are you not full yet?"
Liu Hao didn't dare to eat any more and quickly shook his head: "I'm full."
"Ms. Shen, if you have anything to do, just tell me!" This was the first time that Liu had a full meal at this age, and his words could not help but bring out a bit of gratitude.
Shen Xiudao: "Actually, it's nothing. I want you to help find a fortune teller. This fortune teller doesn't have to be talented, but he must be able to deceive people."
Fortune tellers who can deceive people, Liu Hao thought carefully and said: "There are many fortune tellers in the county, but I don't know who can deceive people. If Mrs. Shen is not in a hurry, I can find those beggar heads."
Ask around."
Shen Xiudao: "This matter is not urgent, just take your time and inquire about it."
It is still very reliable to keep children in business.
Two days later, he helped Shen Xiu find a fortune teller who was good at deceiving people.
This fortune teller came from a neighboring county and was relatively new to him. However, he was very talkative and fit Shen Xiu's requirements very well.
When the fortune teller was brought to Shen Xiu, Dang Ji narrowed his eyes and said, "I see that this little lady has a full forehead and a straight nose. She should be destined to be rich and powerful!"
Shen Xiu smiled slightly: "Sir, you won't do this in front of me. I invite you here because I have something to entrust you with."
"If you do it for me, I will give you twenty taels of silver afterwards."
For twenty taels of silver, the fortune teller immediately stopped pretending and said with a smile on his face: "I wonder what the lady wants me to do?"
Shen Xiudao: "This matter is very simple. Firstly, I don't want you to kill people and set fires, and secondly, I don't want you to cheat. I just need you to say a few words to one person."
It's so simple, the fortune teller obviously doesn't believe that such a good thing will happen.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Shen Xiu took out the five taels of silver and said, "This is the deposit of five taels of silver. After sir does something good, I will immediately give you the remaining fifteen taels of silver."
