The Legend of the Farm Girl

Starting from the second grade of junior high school, Yunfang's mother taught Aunt Wang how to make clothes, and directly told Aunt Wang about her idea of ​​opening a ready-made clothing store. Aunt Wang didn't know what ready-made clothes were, but she felt that Yunfang's mother was capable, so she was willing to follow her.

Before the fifth day of the New Year, the Yun family became like this: Dafu and Erfu took Yunying to play happily, while Yunfeng reviewed his homework every day and also took out an hour to exercise.

Yunfang learned new knowledge every night and taught her mother the garment-making part in the morning.

After Yunfang's mother learned it, she went to teach Aunt Wang.

There is only one idle person left in the family, Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang has to actively recover from his injuries. He feels that he has gotten much better recently and should be fully recovered before the 15th. He has to hurry up to make money, otherwise he will feel bad living and eating at the Yun family's house.

After the fifth day of the New Year, many shops were open, and Yunfang and her mother decided to go and take a look.

When we arrived at the street where Linglong Embroidery Workshop was located, Linglong Embroidery Workshop occupied the most central position in the street. Next to it was a shop with a sign saying "For Rent". When we asked the price, we were told it would cost fifty taels a month.

The rent was prohibitive for Yunfang and her daughter.

I could only look for shops a little further away, but after searching the entire street, I found that there were very few shops for rent. Even if there were any, the rent was no less than twenty taels of silver per month.

This was far beyond Yunfang's budget, and the two of them had no choice but to return home disappointed.

Aunt Wang also knew what Yunfang and her partner were planning today. Seeing that they were not very happy and knowing that they had not found a suitable shop, she consoled them by saying, "This city is so big, there will always be a suitable one!"

Yunfang smiled and said to Aunt Wang, "Aunt, we are not discouraged. We are just thinking about where to go to see if there are suitable ones. We can't sell ready-made clothes to rich people, because they will order the most suitable ones in advance. We can't sell to poor people either, because they make them themselves and don't care about beauty."

Yunfang asked around on the street where Linglong Embroidery Workshop is located today and found that the rents of the shops there are very expensive.

As they walked back, Yunfang said to her mother, "Mom, we both thought wrongly before. Linglong Embroidery Shop sells things to wealthy families. That street is pretty much the same. They all do business with wealthy families. The things they sell are not cheap, so the rent must be expensive too."

"You're right, let's try another place tomorrow!"

Aunt Wang heard Yunfang's thoughts and said casually, "Since I came here, I have hardly been anywhere. I have only been to the north of the city and the market. I don't know where there are people like you are talking about!"

Yunfang was inspired by Aunt Wang's words and said to her mother, "Mom, let's go to the market tomorrow. There are many people coming and going there, and there must be a lot of people who need ready-made clothes."

Yun Fang Niang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go tomorrow."

Aunt Wang didn't expect that her words would work. She smiled and said to Yunfang, "Come and eat. I have prepared lunch. The children are waiting for you!"

After the meal, the group started teaching again in the afternoon. Aunt Wang and Yun Fang's mother were both veterans in making clothes with many years of experience. They could master it almost immediately. After a few days of learning, the clothes they made were beautiful and durable.

In order to get the shop on the right track, Yunfang's business studies in the system have become very specific about what is needed to open a clothing store.

Because when it comes to a specific shop, the system not only tells Yunfang how to select and how to manage, but also provides Yunfang with novel and beautiful clothing design drawings.

Yunfang studied these carefully and taught them to her mother and Aunt Wang, and they all made rapid progress.

On the sixth day of the New Year, Yunfang and her mother came to the market. It was different from the bustling market before the New Year, and also different from the textile street that was bustling on the fifth day of the New Year.

The street where the market is located is still a bit deserted. The road in the middle of the market street is very wide, which is used for people to set up stalls. There are many shops on both sides of the road, and judging from the plaques, most of them are food shops.

Yunfang and her daughter began to look for shops for rent.

Soon the two of them came across the first one. The first shop was a pastry shop. The shop was not big. After Yunfang and her mother went in, they found that the shop was not big enough, but they still visited it and asked the owner. He said that he had rented the shop and there were still two years before the contract expired. The price of the shop was two taels of silver per month.

The price was very reasonable, but Yunfang and her daughter still felt it was too small and not big enough for them to spread out their clothes in their clothing shop.

We have to keep looking.

I looked at the Li family's house again. It was either small or expensive.

When they reached the innermost store, Yunfang and her daughter saw that many shops had for-rent notices posted on them.

Yunfang and her daughter felt that this place was a little too far in, but after seeing so many, they were still not satisfied, so this last one didn’t matter.

When I got inside, I found that this shop hidden at the back was a different world and there was nothing on display inside.

The shop was about the size Yunfang wanted. In addition to being able to display all the clothes, it also had a separate area for a fitting room.

There was no one in the shop, but there was a door inside with a sign saying "Please knock if you have any questions."

Yunfang knocked on the door and someone soon opened it. Yunfang looked inside and found a yard, which was something that no other shop had. Yunfang also did not expect that this shop was connected to a yard on another street.

The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties, who asked Yunfang and her mother, "Are you here to rent a shop?"

The mother and daughter nodded at the same time.

"Then come in, I'll ask my husband to talk to you."

After saying that, she led Yunfang and her daughter into the house, and then went into the house to find her husband.

At this time, Yunfang looked around the yard carefully and found that people lived in the main house and the east wing of the yard, and the shop was equivalent to the west wing.

The yard is bigger than the house Yunfang's family rents in the south of the city.

While Yunfang was still watching, the hostess came out with her husband.

Seeing Yunfang and her daughter, the male owner led them into the shop again.

The man said to them, "My name is Shi Li. The previous tenant of this shop didn't renew the contract, so the shop has moved out. Even though this shop is at the innermost part of the market, the business is still good."

When Yunfang heard this, she said to the man, "Uncle Shi, my name is Yunfang, and this is my mother. Excuse me, how much did you rent this shop to the family in front?"

The moment Yunfang saw the yard, she had her own idea. She wanted to rent the yard as well so that they could make clothes in the yard at the back.

Uncle Shi heard him ask this and didn't fool him. He said directly: "The previous tenant rented it for two taels of silver per month. If you want to rent it, I will also give you the same price."

"Uncle Shi, this price is about the same as the one in the front store with a better location! Our store is in a very bad location. Many people won't come here when they go to the market."

"Although the location of my shop is not as good as theirs, it is much bigger than theirs!"

Yunfang said soothingly, "Uncle Shi, don't worry. I think if it really doesn't affect business, the previous owner's lease will not expire and they won't renew it. Let's talk about it!"

Shi Li didn't expect that the girl in front of him would speak so bluntly. Indeed, the previous owner had moved out two months ago and his family had not rented out the clothing store. The whole family was very anxious, but everyone who came to see the store complained that the location was not good or asked for a very low rent.

Shi Li said hesitantly: "Then how much rent do you plan to pay?"

"Two taels of silver is fine, but we want to rent the yard at the back as well. Three taels of silver a month for the yard and the shop. Do you think it's possible?"

In fact, Shi Li's family has been suffering for so many years living here. The market opens very early every day and it is always noisy here. They have long wanted to buy a new house and have been saving money.

I had already found a house, but I was still twenty taels short of the money I had saved. I had been thinking of renting out the shop and saving for a few more months to get the money together, but I didn't expect the other party to not renew the contract, and I couldn't find anyone to rent the shop to.

Yunfang's proposal made the man very excited, and he said to Yunfang, "I'll go discuss it with my family. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he opened the door again, ran back to the yard with his wife, and went to the main room.

About half an hour later, Shi Li came out with his wife, looking determined, and said to Yun Fang, "My family all agree with your suggestion, but you need to pay twenty taels of silver in rent first. I'll be honest with you, I only need twenty taels of silver to buy a new house, and I can move out only after I have a new house."

Yunfang asked: "When can you move out?"

Shi Li thought about it and said, "It will take a month. Let's sign the contract first. I won't count this month as your lease period. You can set up the shop first and don't have to come into the backyard."

Yunfang thought about it and hesitated. Twenty taels was all the money she had, and it would take nearly a month to get the next payment. During this time, Yunfang had planned to make some ready-made clothes, but without the capital she couldn't do it.

Seeing Yunfang's hesitation, Yunfang's mother said directly to Shili: "Okay, just do as you said, sign it!"

Shi Li had already prepared the contract. After signing it, he and Yunfang went to the government office to file it, and the contract officially came into effect.

After coming out of the yamen, Yunfang gave the twenty taels of silver in her pocket to Shi Li.

On the way home, Yunfang said to her mother: "Mom, you..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his mother.

"I know you don't want me to spend money, but that shop is really good, and the yard can also be used by your Aunt Wang and her family to live in. It's hard to find a shop like this again. I'll pay for the cloth first, but I'm not giving it to you for free. When you have some spare money, you have to pay me back."

Yunfang's mother looked at her mother solemnly and said, "I will definitely give it to you. This money will be used for Yunfeng's schooling in April."

Yunfang's mother touched Yunfang's head.

"Mother still hopes that you can live a happy life. No matter what you do, mother will support you."

Yunfang nodded and said, "I know."

The two returned home and told everyone that the shop had been rented and would be open for business in a month.

Yun Fang's mother also told Aunt Wang about the shop that her family had rented with a yard, which made Aunt Wang very happy. Everyone wants to live alone with their family.

Aunt Wang was even more grateful to Yunfang's family and kept saying that she would repay them well.

The shop has been rented, and now it is time to make ready-made clothes. Yunfang taught her mother and Aunt Wang everything she learned about ready-made clothes in the system. After a few days, the two have learned very well. Yunfang has nothing more to teach, so Yunfang and her mother decided to start making clothes.

According to the design drawings provided by the system, Yunfang took the ten taels of silver borrowed from her mother to the cloth shop and bought a variety of fabrics.

According to the design drawings, Aunt Wang and Yun Fangniang worked together to make two sets of clothes every day. As their skills became more and more sophisticated, the two of them were able to make four sets of clothes.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month soon arrived, and Yunfang would go to work at Linglong Embroidery and Weaving Factory one day later.

Uncle Wang's leg has completely healed, and Yun Fang's mother decided to celebrate. She and Aunt Wang will not make clothes today, and will have a good rest for the day.

Not long after the two families got up, they were planning to go buy some good wine and food when someone knocked on the door.

It turned out that the eldest son of the Li family brought Li Muwen to deliver some glutinous rice balls made by the Li family. Making glutinous rice balls requires preparing ingredients a few days in advance. The Yun family did not have the time and had planned to buy some at the market today, but they did not expect the Li family to deliver them.

The two people from the Li family were invited in. Yun Fang's mother chatted with the eldest brother of the Li family, but Li Muwen moved closer to Yun Feng.

Li Muwen bowed and asked, "Yunfeng, long time no see. I heard from Aunt Qu that you were reviewing and preparing to go to school in the spring. Have you chosen a place?"

Yun Feng was a little stunned by Li Muwen's approach. He had never met Li Muwen before. He had only seen him from a distance and knew his name. He didn't expect him to come and talk to him. But he had heard of him before, because Li Muwen was also taught by Master Feng, who once said that his talent was comparable to Li Muwen's. Li Muwen later went to study in the south of the city and was no longer with Master Feng, but according to Grandma Li, he was doing well.

"Brother Mu Wen, my mother and sister planned for me to study at Tingfeng Academy."

"Tingfeng Academy? My father has asked me about it, but it seems the tuition fee is quite high!"

Yun Feng nodded and said, "But if I can work hard and get into the top five of my age group, I won't have to stop studying for the rest of the quarter. If I can get into the top three, there will be rewards! So I have to work hard to live up to my mother and sister's efforts in me."

Li Muwen was thinking about this, but he was a sensible person and knew that his family could not afford his first quarterly tuition, so he just said to Yunfeng: "Brother Yunfeng, I believe you can do it."

Yun Feng couldn't help but say: "Not only will I work hard, I will also continue to practice martial arts and protect my mother and sister."

Then he couldn't help but tell Li Muwen about his sister's experience of bravely fighting against criminals.

Li Muwen had seen Yunfang's martial arts skills on their way to Yiqing County. Unexpectedly, Yunfang still hadn't forgotten to protect herself when she got here. So, he had to put physical exercise on his agenda, otherwise he would not be able to gain Yunfang's favor if his body was not strong enough.

At this time, Boss Li came to call Li Muwen home. Yun Fang's mother tried again and again to persuade the father and son to stay for dinner, but was rejected every time. Everyone wanted to be together as a family during the holidays.

After the Li father and son left, Yunfang's mother, Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang went to the market together to buy the things they needed, and everyone spent the Lantern Festival together in a lively manner.
