Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 108 She invested in this project

The sky was getting light, a layer of frost had formed on the ground, and the exile team from the post station was about to set off.

The cold wind blew across the cheeks like a knife, and everyone shivered. If they walked slowly, they would be whipped twice.

Behind me was Beijing and Yue getting farther and farther away, while the road ahead was becoming more and more desolate and cold.

The He family members held tightly to the things they had obtained yesterday and tried to reduce their presence in the crowd as much as possible.

In order to avoid being discovered, they all wore warm clothes and were given a small piece of beef jerky, so they were in a much better situation than the others.

the other side.

Everyone is rushing into the city to sell their goods. If it gets colder, there won't be many people on the streets.

In the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, the street shops selling wontons and hot soup are bustling with activity, and the smell of smoke and shouting are mixed in the cold wind of early winter.

Liu Erniang, however, carried the things and walked towards a secluded road on the other side.

The grocery store in Qingshi Lane was open. The shopkeeper inside saw her standing by the side and first looked her over. Then he asked calmly,

"Girl, are you here to look for someone?"

Liu Erniang was stunned for a moment, thinking that the grocery store that Miss Shen mentioned earlier should be this one, so she said carefully,
"I'm here to deliver the goods to Miss Shen."

The grocery store owner relaxed his guard a little and said kindly,

"Miss Shen's shop is just behind. If it's not open, you can leave your things with me first, and I will pay you first."

"Thank you."

Liu Erniang smiled and nodded, then walked inside with the things in her arms.

When I saw the familiar wooden door, the stone in my heart finally settled down.

Before going out this morning, she deliberately changed into her most decent clothes. Although they were also made of coarse cloth, she sewed them stitch by stitch according to her most generous expenses, so she would not be short of money.

I usually don't want to wear it, but I took it out today thinking that I would come to deliver the fabric to leave a good impression on Miss Shen.

On the way here, she was worried about the delivery issue, after all, she knew that this antique shop was unusual.

The wooden door in front of me was not open, and there was a sign on it saying, "Please ring the bell here."

Liu Erniang had never seen this thing before, and she reached out and pressed it with doubt.

There seems to be no response.

She hesitated for a moment and was about to press the button again, but unexpectedly, the door opened automatically. She was almost frightened by this sudden change.

Shen You had just gotten up and hurried downstairs in her floral long dress. She happened to see Liu Er Niang standing stiffly in the yard holding two pieces of brocade.

"Come in," she called out.

"Yes." Liu Erniang looked at Shen You's disheveled hair and the slippers on her feet in some surprise.

She knew that wooden clogs were worn by wealthy people.

But I have never seen this kind of furry one with two rabbit ears on it.

It looks very soft and warm, and the bottom is not as hard as clogs. The nobles in the capital should like it.

"Miss Shen, this is the fabric you ordered, please take a look." Liu Er Niang retracted her gaze and handed over the fabric with both hands.

"Just put it on the chair." Shen You smiled, "Sit down for a while."

Liu Erniang looked up flattered, and after a while she responded in a very soft voice.

She had delivered handkerchiefs to the homes of wealthy families in the town before. The maids in the masters' houses were superior to ordinary people and were not allowed to look around in the house. If she made a mistake, she would definitely not be allowed to work next time.

What's more, sitting down is a treatment only for guests of the host's house.

As for Miss Shen, she felt that the other party treated her as an equal.

How can one not be moved and grateful for such respect?

Shen You picked up a fishtail-shaped wooden hairpin from the counter, tied up her hair, and then began to check the cloth sent by Liu Er Niang.

She is an amateur, but she has come into contact with a lot of good materials and can still tell the difference by feel.

Two rolls of cloth, one with butterfly embroidery, looked quite lively. Liu Erniang held her breath and nervously observed Shen You's expression, fearing that the cloth she had woven would not be up to standard.

I didn't feel relieved until I heard Shen You say, "The stuff is good."

"The twenty taels here are the final payment." Shen You took out two portions of silver. "The one hundred taels here are the deposit for future orders and the advance payment for your wages."

She now has sales channels, so it won't be a problem to order a few more.

The better the material, the more difficult it is to weave. For example, Yunjin requires two people to work together to operate the loom, so this time Shen You gave a large sum of money.

The difference in price made from fabrics is insignificant compared to antiques, but it can help customers expand sales and earn points and operating value at the same time.

With points, next time you go to Da Qi to learn a skill, you don’t have to spend money to buy time.

Liu Erniang was also stunned when she saw the shiny one hundred taels of silver placed in front of her.

Even her former mother-in-law couldn't easily come up with such a large amount of money.

"As long as the goods you deliver are good, there will be no less orders and balance in the future." Shen You said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Miss Shen, I will definitely complete your order!" Liu Er Niang said firmly.

If you do Miss Shen's job well, your younger brothers and sisters won't have to suffer and be looked down upon in the future.

"I want to hire a few more people and buy two more looms. When winter comes and it's freezing outside, it would be nice to be able to work at home."

As Liu Erniang talked about her idea, her eyes were full of energy.

"Very good. I'll give you another 100 taels. You should be able to open a small workshop. Just consider it as my investment."

This project is good, and even if it loses money, the loss won’t be much, so Shen Duoyu invested in it!
Liu Erniang was stunned again.

She didn't understand the word "investment", but she understood what Shen You meant, and was so excited that she couldn't speak for a moment.

After several seconds, his emotions calmed down a little. Just as he was about to ask if it was true, he saw Shen You had already taken out the silver.

Liu Erniang took the initiative to propose signing a deed, which is a modern contract.

In this way, when the workshop is set up in the future, Shen You won't have to worry about her not taking responsibility.

The deed can indeed be signed, but Shen You doesn’t know what the document looks like on the Da Qi side, and she doesn’t know how to write it.

So he asked Liu Erniang to go to the grocery store and ask the shopkeeper to write and seal the goods before bringing them back.

Liu Erniang did as she was told. After receiving the deed, Shen You read through the contents first, made sure they were correct, and put them into the system cash register.

Before leaving, Liu Erniang looked at her slippers for a while, silently memorized the style, and then asked,

"Miss Shen, the shoes you are wearing are made of rabbit fur?"

"No, no, no." Shen You immediately waved his hand.

She has only one requirement for slippers to wear at home: they must be wearable and cheap.

How can something that costs more than 20 yuan and includes free shipping be made of such good material? It's just polyester fiber.

"It's similar to the fluffy material inside thermal underwear, but it's not real fur."

Thinking of the warm clothes, Liu Erniang's eyes instantly brightened up, "I understand."

After walking out of the shop with more than two hundred taels of cash, she first went to a bank to deposit the silver, and then went straight to some of the best shoe and clothing shops in the city.

After walking around for an hour, I only saw wooden clogs and leather slippers. The cheaper ones were made of straw and cloth.

It seems to be much less comfortable than what Miss Shen is wearing.

If I use the fabric from thermal clothes, or find real rabbit fur to make that kind of slippers, I think they will sell well since it’s winter now.

Liu Erniang had an idea in her mind, and immediately went to a shop and bought four sets of the cheapest warm clothes.

I went to pick out a few pairs of soles.

Then I went to look for a location for the workshop. It was not easy to choose one with cheap rent and a good location.
