Re-embroidering life

Shui Qinghua fulfilled her promise and took Ji Fei to the embroidery workshop the next day. Ji Fei's face was so bright with joy that she looked around and touched things as if everything was new to her.

Shui Yuhua is now more and more like a foreman of embroiderers. When she sits there, she even looks a bit intimidating. She dispatches embroiderers and arranges shifts. There is nothing she cannot command. Ji Fei looks at her aunt with envy, thinking that when she grows up, she will also become a woman like her mother or aunt. What Master Zhu said, go to hell.

Shui Qinghua inspected the embroidery workshop inside and outside and confirmed that everything was on track. After the new silk thread was put into use, the order volume skyrocketed, almost making up for the losses of the previous three months, but there were not enough embroiderers. Hiring people was really a big problem. Ji Zimo was right. If she couldn't learn how to hire people, she would never be a qualified boss.

She went to Chuxiu Pavilion to meet Ye Jincheng again. Although this man had a bad mouth, he was a talented businessman and was willing to teach compared to Shopkeeper Wang.

She described the idea of ​​retirement money to Ye Jincheng. Ye Jincheng's eyes lit up after hearing it. He paced in front of the huge dragon and phoenix screen, and after a few steps, he stopped and tapped his left palm with the folding fan in his right hand: "It's a good idea. I'll help you improve it. Why should the embroiderers listen to you and save this retirement money? You can tell them that for every two copper coins they save, the embroidery workshop will save one. When they work in the embroidery workshop for five or ten years, all the money will belong to them. If they quit before five or ten years, they can take all the money they save, but the money saved by the embroidery workshop will be taken back."

Shui Qinghua's eyes lit up: "In order to get the retirement money saved by the embroidery workshop, the embroiderers will not easily quit their jobs and go to other embroidery workshops." Meng Xiu Niang took away half of the embroiderers in one go, which seriously damaged the vitality of Shui Xiu Fang. Shui Qinghua is still frightened. Although it has barely recovered now, the speed of learning of the newly recruited embroiderers varies, and there are still many who have not yet mastered the skills. The embroidery workshop relies on craftsmanship to make a living, and the embroiderers are really too important. It is worth using a small amount of retirement money in exchange for the stability of the embroiderers.

"You are really smart." Ye Jincheng did not make any sarcastic remarks, but praised her seriously in a rare moment.

Shui Qinghua was a little shy: "Actually, this idea came from my daughter."

Ye Jincheng's face suddenly fell: "It's that daughter who just turned one year old again?"

"No, no, no, it's my eldest daughter. She's over eight years old."

Ye Jincheng was stunned. From the tone of voice, is eight years old too old?

"You two are very good at having children." What else could he say?

When Dou Jianzhi received the order for the pension money, he applauded the idea, but at the same time he was shouting in his heart, "Second sister, can't your extremely smart brain take a break?" In order to ensure that the embroidery workshop could operate normally after the boss went to Beijing, he had a mountain of tasks to arrange. At this time when he was so busy, his second sister wanted to implement a new policy. Dou Jianzhi wanted to cry but had no tears.

Dou Jianzhi knew Shui Qinghua. She was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She would definitely accomplish what she wanted to do. He borrowed a few accountants from Siyifang and Chuxiuge, and the abacus in Shuixiufang started to clatter for several days. Then, a new policy shocked the embroiderers in Shuixiufang: the embroiderers and the embroidery workshop would jointly save money for retirement on a monthly basis to ensure that the embroiderers would be well cared for in their old age!

The whole embroidery workshop was in an uproar. What craftsmen fear most is that one day they will not be able to work and their income will be cut off. Although the monthly salary of an embroiderer is not small, most of the money a woman earns is taken away by her family, leaving her with little money. If her parents are unkind and her husband is unkind, no matter how hard she works, she is just making wedding clothes for others. Zhang Xiaocao burst into tears on the spot: "I gave all my monthly salary to my stepmother, who said she would marry my younger brother, but I still don't have a dowry. I won't be afraid anymore. Steward, I will save all my monthly salary for my retirement, okay?"

Dou Jianzhi hastily refused: "That won't work. That means the embroidery shop will have to pay you half an extra month's salary. The pension fund has a limit."

Before he finished speaking, he was surrounded by the embroiderers, who started asking questions one after another. Half an hour later, he finally broke through the siege, looking pale and staggering. With a dazed look, he saw a thin little girl standing in front of him, her beautiful big eyes flickering.

"Fei'er?" Dou Jianzhi was stunned. He suddenly remembered something. "I heard that the idea of ​​the pension fund was yours?"

Fei'er lowered her black eyelashes, her eyes seemed to be blocked by two small fans. She did not answer, but asked: "Fourth Uncle, I want to learn from you how to run an embroidery workshop, is that okay?"

Dou Jianzhi readily agreed: "Of course!" He did not think about the fact that Fei'er was only eight years old. In his eyes, all the women in the Shui family were smart and capable, including his wife.

The power of pension money is huge. Within a few days after the news spread, embroiderers from other embroidery workshops came to join. Shuixiufang has the most advanced embroidery skills, the finest silk threads, and the most reassuring treatment. Is there any better choice than this within a hundred miles?

Thus, a new embroidery workshop which had been in business for less than a year and was on the verge of bankruptcy a few months ago, became famous overnight. In the entire Jiangxia embroidery industry, everyone knew about Shui Xiufang.

After the setbacks, Shui Qinghua became more cautious and would no longer be blinded by temporary success like before. She told Dou Jianzhi: "Spend more money, take care of the idlers on the street, and keep an eye on the movements of other embroidery workshops. We have been so popular recently that there is no guarantee that there will not be a second Zhenluofang."

Dou Jianzhi knew the seriousness of the matter and went to handle it immediately. However, after watching for a few days, there was no movement, and both of them felt strange.

At this moment, Wang and Ye Jincheng were doing their own accounting. Looking at the numbers in the account books, they were very happy. The silk thread dyeing workshop was in short supply and making a fortune every day. After using the new silk thread, the sales of this embroidery workshop doubled. There was also a golden nugget water embroidery workshop that could receive a 30% dividend. In all these years of doing business, I have never been so happy!

"I said, she is a treasure trove, but I have good vision." Shopkeeper Wang thought happily while using an abacus. He has sent a batch of new silk threads back to Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan embroiderers who came to learn the craft will arrive next month. In this year's assessment, he will definitely get a top grade.

"Whoever makes things difficult for Shuixiufang is making things difficult for my Siyifang." Shopkeeper Wang said bitterly in his heart.

Ye Jincheng stood with his hands behind his back and instructed his men, "Tell them that Shuixiufang is under the protection of Chuxiuge. If you want to cause trouble, think twice. If you have the ability, compete openly. If you use some cheap tricks behind the scenes, don't blame the Ye family for being rude!"

On the screen behind him, the dragon and the phoenix stretched out their bodies, circling in the sky, their eyes revealing a wildness and arrogance, just like his own.
