The couple had a rough fight last night, and it was almost time for Zhao Shutong to wait for Pei Qi to get dressed.

As soon as the door was opened, Nanny Zeng waited outside the door with a light heart and a white spirit.

Zhao Shutong turned a blind eye to the eyes of the servants, but Pei Qi felt ashamed to get up late because of this kind of thing, and secretly stared at Zhao Shutong several times in the morning.

Zhao Shutong felt that he was very innocent. It was Pei Qi who was sleeping like a piggy and couldn't wake him up. What did he have to do with him? He waited for Pei Qi to wake up and didn't let him face these servants alone. .

It's just that he is the one who eats meat, so it's right for Fu Lang to vent his anger.

Zhao Shutong made a trick for Pei Qi to make Pei Qi happy. He took out peony flowers, roasted sweet potatoes, story books, eyebrow pencils, etc. from a hat and gave them to Pei Qi one by one.

Pei Qi was coaxed to be happy and wanted to learn tricks from Zhao Shutong.

Zhao Shutong's tricks all rely on smuggling through space. Where can I teach Pei Qi, I can only change the subject, "Aren't you still in the wool business? I asked Zhao Gui to hire someone. He will come here soon. You should think about it." Think about how to receive people for a while."

It's time to get down to business, Pei Qi straightened his attitude immediately, and didn't think about tricks anymore.

When his mother explained the matter to him, she also told him that this matter was very important, and he must not mess it up.

It was a middle-aged man named Song Qian who helped Zhao Shutong renovate the spinning machine and loom. Although Song Qian’s surname was not Zhao, his mother was from the Zhao family. There are some close relatives.

Guan Erniang, the daughter-in-law of the second uncle’s youngest son, is weaving the scarf and making the woolen gown. Guan Erniang is a little embroiderer. Before she got married, she would embroider some handkerchiefs and purses at home and sell them to the embroidery shop to subsidize the family. She often went to sell things. Then, I met my second uncle's youngest son, Zhao Lilin, who works as a bookkeeper in Xiuzhuang.At the beginning, the Guan family agreed to ask for a lot of dowry, but when Erniang Guan got married, she also brought a lot of dowry.

This Guan Erniang is a very intelligent person, Zhao Shutong only roughly suggested to her the method of weaving woolen scarves and clothes, she insisted on relying on her own ingenuity and four silver needles that Zhao Shutong temporarily lent her. , and made things out.

"Carpenter Song, my mother asked me to order [-] spinning machines and [-] looms from you, and the delivery will be within one month." Pei Qi asked Song Qian stumbled.

It was the first time he had a business deal with someone.

When Song Qian heard the quantity that Pei Qi wanted, he realized that it was a big order.

He estimated the workload, and felt that it would not be a problem for his whole family to go to battle together and finish what Mr. Shutong Fulang wanted in a month, so he agreed.

"We need it very urgently. You can deliver it to us once every five days." Pei Qi said again.

Song Qian is an honest man, he will agree to whatever Pei Qi says.

"My aunt, my mother wants to invite you to be a weaver and teach the weavers in our village how to knit wool. How about giving you five taels of silver a month?" Pei Xi said.

"Madam Shi Lang thinks highly of me, and still gives such a generous reward, of course there is no problem on my side." Guan Erniang said familiarly.

Compared with a skill, five taels of silver a month for her to teach others may be a steal.But she didn't come up with this idea, it was Zhao Shutong who gave her the idea to do it.

"Then I'll trouble you, tomorrow the butler will take you to the Zhuangzi in the Shilang's mansion." Pei Qi said.

"Okay, I'll go back and pack up my things today, and tomorrow I can go directly to Zhuangzi in the Minister's Mansion," Guan Erniang said.

"Auntie, wait a moment."

The servant's wife handed over the purchase of the spinning machine and loom and the embroiderer to Pei Qi, and Zhao Shutong listened to the whole process worryingly.Pei Qi confessed that outsiders acted in a natural and generous manner, and did not appear the shrinking and unconfident situation of doing business for the first time. It was just that some things were taken for granted and things were not considered thoroughly.

Zhao Shutong stopped Erniang Guan when she was about to leave.

"Master Juren, do you have any orders?" Guan Erniang turned to Zhao Shutong and asked.

"I hope to sign another agreement with my aunt. In two years, my aunt will not be able to pass on the wool weaving method except to the people we designate." Zhao Shutong said.

"Master Juren instructed me to weave things with wool. It's okay for Master Juren to ask for such a request. But why can't I spread this, and Song Qian's carpentry work is not necessary." Guan Erniang asked.

"Wool spinning machines and looms can be made by a skilled master within a few days. There is no need to restrain Song Qian. Wool weaving is not something that can be learned in a short time. I want to take advantage of this time difference. In the past two years, we have managed to create a market," said Zhao Shutong.

"Master Juren is indeed a person who has studied. Although I don't understand what you said, since this knitting method is so important, two years is enough?" Guan Erniang asked. She knew a body pressing technique. How important it is, she suffered a lot in order to learn embroidery, but she still only learned superficially, and there is no way to learn advanced ones, because the master who taught her can only do this, Su embroidery, Shu embroidery and double-sided embroidery are all just Heard of the name, but nothing about the techniques.

She thought that Master Juren was going to give her a sum of money to buy out this knitting method so that she could not reveal it for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect it to be only two years.

Zhao Shutong confirmed her again, and it took two years.

In Zhao Shutong's view, hand-knitting sweaters and scarves is time-consuming and labor-intensive. No matter how many people they recruit to make them, they will definitely not be able to meet the demand. It is better to open up the market first, and then spread the method of knitting sweaters to a small area. Part of the manpower was taken out to manage the woolen business.

He remembered that there was an upsurge of knitting sweaters for the whole people in a special period of history.

Don't underestimate the enthusiasm of women and brothers to make clothes for their husbands and children. Knitting sweaters is much easier than making a set of clothes after mastering the skills. It may cause a trend in the capital in the future.

"I won't let my aunt suffer. After my aunt finishes teaching the people who should be taught, she can still pick up jobs in our shop. Every time a piece of clothing is completed, a part of the share will be given. If you can create a new weaving method, if you are willing to teach I will give my aunt a part of the money compensation. These are just some of my preliminary ideas. If my aunt is willing, we will continue to talk about it later." Zhao Shutong said.

"Okay." After thinking about it, Erniang Guan realized that she didn't suffer a loss, so she quickly agreed.

When sending the two of them away, Pei Qi turned around and asked Zhao Shutong, "Master, is it really okay for these things to be leaked out? What if they are stolen by others?"

Zhao Shutong explained his thoughts to Pei Qi again.

Pei Qi was confused, he didn't understand, so he wrote down what Zhao Shutong said, and when he went to Pei's mansion in the afternoon, he told his mother about it.

Mrs. Shi Lang became interested in the idea of ​​spreading the simple weaving method of knitting sweaters, scarves and other objects to the brother-in-law, so that people would come to buy their wool.

Their manpower is limited, and the things they make are sold to only a few people.

If they sell wool, they will not lose their original market, and they may even earn an extra income.Some people who are reluctant to buy wool products but are willing to buy wool will become their potential customers. Even if there are some small workshops that buy wool and weave it into clothes for sale, but they do not have the method of rinsing and dyeing wool, the raw materials still have to be bought from them.

Mrs. Shi Lang also took care of the property for decades before she understood some business matters.

She thought her brother-in-law's idea was very bold, but he might be right.

Mrs. Shi Lang plans to wait for Pei Shi Lang to come back, and then talk to him about the idea of ​​a son-in-law.

The matter of the wool business, because of the joining of the emperor, is no longer the matter of the two of them. The wife of the servant has put a lot of energy into it.

This new business is relatively big, and the family members are all mobilized by Mrs. Shi Lang to participate in it, and the younger generation also let them come in to earn pocket money.

When Pei Qi came over, he brought his scarf and woolen gown as samples.

People gathered together to watch.

"Little uncle, the woolen gown that my little uncle gave you is so pretty. There are small holes in it, but even if you put it on, you can't see the color of the clothes inside." Pei Yinlan praised, he really thinks this The woolen gown is very nice, it makes me feel like I am unique in the crowd, if only he had one too.

"I also think it looks good, but the master said that the workmanship is a bit rough, and we need to continue to find ways to improve it." Pei Qi said.

After thinking about it, Pei Yinlan said, "I think the thinner the thread, the denser the weaving, it might look better."

Although Pei Qi didn't get along with this brother and nephew much, he was very tolerant towards him, "We can find someone to try next time."

"This scarf is also interesting, but we usually don't need it when we stay in the inner house." Cao Shi said, the collars of women's clothes are relatively high, in fact, the scarf is not very practical for them, but if it is used as a decoration, maybe someone will like.

"The master said that these two are just samples, and we can also design other things to make and sell. For example, gloves, knee pads, hats, socks, and tiger-toed shoes can all be knitted with wool. That, the master said, I just can't think of those Xiuniang can't do it." Pei Qi said.

Seeing Pei Qi's expression when he mentioned Zhao Shutong, Madam Shi Lang nodded inwardly.

Seeing her youngest son so actively participating in the business preparations, she was even more happy. His family, Qiqi, was finally going to be sensible and motivated, and she wanted to take the child to teach him everything she knew.Qiqi stood on her own, and she and the old man could go there with peace of mind after a hundred years.

"Brother-in-law is right, only if you can't think of it, you can't do it. You guys have come up with a few tricks when you go back. If they are adopted and sold, I will give you a share." The servant minister said generously.

Pei Yinlan was the one who responded positively. He was a concubine, and his daily income was only the monthly allowance given by his family. Although his aunt would occasionally receive rewards, they didn't get many of them.He is going to talk about marriage in the past two years, and he really wants to save a sum of private money.Grandma has spoken, and he really wants to seize this opportunity.

"Then little uncle, when will you bring that embroiderer who can knit woolen sweaters into your house and ask her to teach us too." Pei Yinlan said.

"Third brother, knitting sweaters is different from making needlework. You haven't learned how to embroider well, and you still have to learn how to knit sweaters. Be careful not to chew too much." Pei Yinyi, who had been silent all this time, said.

"Big sister, I think needlework and sweater knitting are interlinked. Maybe they are not opposed to each other but can help each other. One skill drives the other. My sister should learn with me too." Pei Yinlan said.

Pei Yinyi said helplessly, "I really can't say enough about you."

"Little uncle, my niece and daughter-in-law also feel that they can come up with new tricks only after they understand how to do it." Cao Shi agreed, staring at Pei Qi eagerly.

Pei Qi looked at his mother.

"Since you all want to see Xiu Niang, then invite them to the mansion in two days." Madam Shi Lang made a decision.

The author has something to say:

It was twelve o'clock, and my little red flower was saved.

An unfortunate news, I suffered from heat stroke, my body temperature was 37.2 to 37.3, I reported it to the life teacher, and he suggested that I go back to school in the next batch.
