The Legend of the Farm Girl

There were only twenty-five embroiderers left who had passed the assessment of the three embroiderers. Shopkeeper Ma asked everyone to write their names on the handkerchiefs and then collected the handkerchiefs.

Shopkeeper Ma placed the handkerchiefs on a large table.

The young master came to the table and began to examine the handkerchiefs. After about five minutes, he picked out five of them and handed them to the shopkeeper Ma.

Shopkeeper Ma took the handkerchief, and the other embroiderers knew that the handkerchief in Shopkeeper Ma's hand was the one embroidered by the embroiderer who stayed today.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone's breathing became heavier.

"The embroiderers whose names I read out are the ones who will stay today. The embroiderers whose names I didn't read out can try again next time we recruit!"

"Li Miaomiao, Su Rouyu, Wang Yuning, Gao Ling, and one more, Yun Fang."

Everyone held their breath and listened attentively as Shopkeeper Ma read out the names of five people. Those whose names were read out were all happy, while the others could only sigh and leave. Most of those who had made fun of Yunfang were eliminated. I wonder if they have reflected on it and should not underestimate anyone.

When only the five embroiderers and the people from Linglong Embroidery Workshop were left in the room, the young master spoke: "Welcome everyone to Linglong Embroidery Workshop. My last name is Yu. You should know Linglong Embroidery Workshop. It is the largest embroidery workshop in Yiqing County, and this is just one of our branches. We have one in the capital and other counties. Being an embroiderer in my Linglong Embroidery Workshop is the best choice for all the embroiderers. My Yu family knows very well that the development of an embroidery workshop cannot be separated from good embroiderers, so the treatment in my Linglong Embroidery Workshop can be said to be the best in the province."

After a pause, he continued, "Let me first tell you how to work. The embroiderers in my embroidery workshop are only allowed to serve my family and are not allowed to take private jobs. This is an iron order. If you violate it, my embroidery workshop will report you to the government. You must arrive at the embroidery room at 2:45 pm every day, have lunch at noon, and leave work at 5:00 pm.

Each person has a separate embroidery room, which is very bright. If multiple embroiderers are needed, separate arrangements will be made.”

"Let me talk about wages. Every day after work, you will be asked to check the amount of work you have done today. A special person will evaluate how much your embroidery can be sold for. We will pay you half of the evaluated price, which is definitely higher than the price you pay when you send the embroidery to the embroidery workshop."

"The wages are paid every two weeks. This is unique to Linglong Embroidery Workshop. It is designed to take into account that some embroiderers need money urgently."

"In addition to wages, Linglong Embroidery Workshop is never stingy with its embroiderers. There are red envelopes and gifts during festivals. The Chinese New Year is only a month and a half away, so you can look forward to it."

After saying this, Young Master Yu said, "No problem, let's sign the contract today."

She looked at Yunfang again and said, "Your embroidery really impresses me. I never thought a little girl like you could be chosen. It's true that heroes emerge young. If you sign the contract today, you will be the youngest embroiderer since the establishment of my embroidery workshop."

Yunfang said cheerfully: "Thank you for your appreciation, Young Master. Although I am young, I have been embroidering for a long time. I will continue to work hard and embroider more and better things."

Young Master Yu smiled. He didn't expect the little girl in front of him to have such ambitions. He sighed and said, "I have brothers and sisters as old as you, but they are not as sensible and steady as you."

Yunfang didn't know how to answer. She had received a good education in the system and her family depended on her, so she had never been willful. But she also knew that most people of her age were lively and naughty, and she couldn't follow suit when the young master complained.

Seeing that the little girl in front of him didn't know what to say, Master Yu changed the subject: "You come and sign the contract too!"

After the five people signed the contract, Master Yu said to them, "Come to work on the tenth day of the first lunar month. You will get your first pay on the fifteenth day."

Shopkeeper Ma led the five people out of Linglong Embroidery Workshop. Yunfang's mother had been waiting outside with her brothers for more than an hour. When she saw that Yunfang was the last one to come out, she knew that Yunfang had succeeded and was very happy.

Yunfang saw her mother and brothers and hurried over to greet them. She said to her mother happily, "Mom, it's done. I'll start work on the tenth and get my first pay on the fifteenth."

Yun Fang's mother was also very happy and said with a smile: "Let's go buy some meat and I'll make you something delicious."

We returned home happily, and the whole family was full of expectations for the future.

Yunfang had new plans. She would continue to learn embroidery and read in the system, but in addition to that, she also wanted to learn business.

Yunfeng needs a lot of money to study, and it may be enough to sell embroidery every day. But if he wants to buy a house or hire people, it will be difficult to do. Only by becoming a boss can he achieve it. But Yunfang has no experience in how to do business, but with a system, Yunfang will learn the most useful business skills.

Yunfang didn't tell her mother about all this. She planned to tell her mother when she had made some progress in her studies and had new plans.

Since then, Yunfang has systematically studied three courses at night. The first is embroidery. Now Yunfang specializes in embroidering clothes. The second is reading. Yunfang knows that Yunfeng will need to study the Four Books and Five Classics for the imperial examination, so she learned it in advance so that she can give Yunfeng special training. The third is business management, which is very obscure and difficult to understand, but fortunately Yunfang has the best teacher. Every time she learns something, there is a simulated scene to practice. This kind of learning also makes Yunfang, who was originally a girl from a small family, more and more like a lady from a noble family.

On the tenth day, Yunfang arrived at Linglong Embroidery Workshop on time and found the shopkeeper Ma. The five of them were taken to the exclusive embroidery room arranged for them.

As soon as she entered the embroidery room, Yunfang was very satisfied. Although the house was small, it had everything she needed. There was also a small couch for resting. The whole house was clean, tidy, refreshing and bright.

After observing for a while, the shopkeeper Ma came in and asked, "Xiao Yunfang, what are you going to embroider today? I'll bring you the raw materials in a while."

"Shopkeeper Ma, I'm embroidering a quilt cover, please help me."

Shopkeeper Ma thought Yunfang would choose an embroidered handkerchief, but he didn't expect her to choose a more complicated quilt cover. But seeing Yunfang's determined look, Shopkeeper Ma smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you right away."

Shopkeeper Ma quickly brought three blank quilt covers and said to Yunfang, "This should be enough for you to embroider for a while. If you don't pay it in once before the 15th, you won't get paid on the 15th. You have to know this."

Yunfang nodded and thanked Shopkeeper Ma for his kindness: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Ma, I understand. I should be able to hand one over. Can I decide what to embroider on the quilt?"

"Yes, it's up to you to decide, but the more complex and meaningful it is, the more valuable it is. If it's too simple, it's worthless."

After giving Yunfang instructions, Shopkeeper Ma hurried to the next place and left Yunfang's embroidery room.

Yunfang is the one who is doing the work. There are still five days left until the fifteenth day, so she has to hurry up. If the fifteenth day brings back some wages, her mother and brother will definitely be very happy.
