The Divine Doctor and the Crazy Concubine: My princess is very cool

Let’s talk about Shangguan Qingge. She went to the clothing shop half a month ago and the winter clothes for the children were ready. Boss Shang and his wife came to Shangguan Qingge’s yard to give her clothes.

Shangguan Qingge let the children try on the clothes. The size was just right and the material was strong. Boss Shang even stuffed some extra cotton in them, making them especially comfortable to wear.

There were eight children, two pieces each, a total of sixteen pieces.

Boss Shang is a very honest man. A winter coat only costs one or two taels of silver. Shangguan Qingge looked at the quality of the clothes and knew it was worth more than one or two taels of silver. If it was put on the market, it would cost at least three or two taels of silver to stuff so much cotton. Plus, the workmanship is really good.

"Boss Shang, if you sell these clothes for only one or two taels of silver, won't you make a loss?" Shangguan Qingge asked.

Boss Shang smiled embarrassedly.

"Miss, this is indeed a loss-making business, but you are our last customer. After your order is completed, Qiqi and I will stop doing business and plan to do other business."

"Why? You and your wife's workmanship is really good."

"What's the use of being good? Boss Cheng is the only one selling clothes in the capital right now. Qiqi and I really can't do this anymore. To be honest, you are our first customer in the past three months. With your sixteen taels of silver, Qiqi and I can live for a long time. It's enough for me to find other work." Boss Shang held his wife's hand and spoke with some reluctance in his tone.

He and his wife had managed to build up a business in the capital by making clothes, but they never expected that they would have to start all over again.

He was not afraid to start over, but he was reluctant to give up his skills.

He is an orphan who was taken in by the Bai family. His father-in-law and mother-in-law took him in and married their daughter to him. They taught him the craft of making clothes, hoping that he would be good to their daughter and expand the shop. However, things did not go as planned. Boss Cheng's suppression of his peers had affected the issue of whether they could make a living.

If eating is a problem, what’s the point of running this shop?

When Shangguan Qingge heard this, he thought, Boss Cheng is suppressing me?

Boss Cheng is Bei Yunhao's man. If Boss Cheng becomes bigger and stronger, it means that Bei Yunhao will become bigger and stronger. If Bei Yunhao becomes stronger, then Shangguan Qingyun and the Liu family will be able to benefit from it. It's really hateful!

An idea flashed through Shangguan Qingge's mind.

"Boss Shang, can you please come into the mansion and talk to me? I can help your shop become bigger and stronger!"

When the two heard Shangguan Qingge's words, their eyes lit up.

"Miss, is what you said true?"

Shangguan Qingge nodded and decided to let the two in.

The two entered the yard, and Shangguan Qingge asked the nanny to make tea.

"Boss Shang, what do you think is the most important thing for a piece of clothing to become a hit?"

"Yes...workmanship!" Boss Shang said with certainty.

“No, it’s the style!”

Hearing this, Boss Shang was a little confused. Aren't there only a few styles of clothes? Everyone wears them the same way, so the problem lies in the workmanship. The better the workmanship, the more people will buy them.

Shangguan Qingge saw the puzzled looks on their faces and continued speaking.

"Boss Cheng's Jinhua Clothing Pavilion is successful because of its styles. Although there are not many styles, there are some styles that are not available on the market. In addition, his clothes have bold and harmonious colors and bright materials, so they are popular. Although the clothes you make are of good quality, the styles are too old-fashioned, so naturally all your business has been taken away by Jinhua Clothing Pavilion."

"But... his material is not durable!" Mrs. Bai said timidly.

"The problem is the material, it's not durable, but the advantage is that the clothes are good-looking, so even if they are worn out, people are still willing to pay for them. Your advantage is that the material is good and durable, that's your advantage! But you have fewer styles."

"Then...Miss, what do you think?" Mrs. Bai asked.

"How much material do you have left in your store?" Shangguan Qingge asked.

"There are still many, but they are all materials from previous years. When made into clothes, the colors are not popular with everyone."

"If they don't like it, it's only the rich people who don't like it. Let's not look at the rich people, but at ordinary people!"

At this point, the two were even more confused. What did it mean to look at ordinary people?

Shangguan Qingge continued.

"Look, what do ordinary people like us buy clothes for? To cover our modesty, to keep warm, and also for convenience! If it's convenient to put on clothes, it's convenient to work. Ordinary clothes are long-sleeved and have to be worn in several layers. If we had buttons or something, wouldn't it be more convenient?"

When the two heard the word "pankou", they were even more confused. What is pankou?

Shangguan Qingge expected that the two of them would not understand what a knot was, because she discovered that clothes in this era had no buttons or knots. Clothes were wrapped up and tied with ropes, so everyone would wear at least two layers of clothes to wrap themselves up. Even in summer, they would wear two layers of thin clothes.

Shangguan Qingge went to the study and took out two books on clothing samples and a book on traditional button making from his sleeves.

She handed the book to Boss Shang and his wife. When they opened it, it was as if they had opened the door to a new world.

The clothes here were things they had never seen before.

"This type of clothing is convenient and simple to wear, and uses less fabric, so it can be targeted at the common people. The production and color matching of the other book can be targeted at dignitaries."

These two books, one is a book on how to make those gorgeous modern Hanfu, and the other is a book on how to make simple long robes with long sleeves, but there are many styles, and these things are not available in Jinhua Clothing Pavilion.

Boss Shang and his friend couldn't put the book down, but then they put it down and shook their heads.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. However, we really can't keep running our shop. It takes too much time to make clothes like this. We can't make so many clothes just by ourselves. It takes about an hour to sew a simple piece of clothing, not to mention making patterns and cutting. We should just give up."

Boss Shang's tone was filled with reluctance, unwillingness and helplessness.

Shangguan Qingge knew the helplessness of Mr. and Mrs. Shang, but who was she, Shangguan Qingge? She was a master, how could sewing be difficult for her? Just by chance, she just had an old-fashioned, foot-operated sewing machine, which she bought on a whim when she was in college! She thought it was just a temporary interest, so she bought an old-fashioned foot-operated sewing machine. If one day she thought it took up too much space, she would sell it second-hand. As a result, she used it twice after buying it, and never moved it again. It is still placed in the corner of the villa.

God really helps her. No, God has always been helping her!

"Boss Shang, when I say I can help you, I mean I can help you. I don't like that guy named Cheng. The reason I help you is, first, I hope you can continue your family business, and second, I hope that after I help you get established, you can suppress that guy named Cheng. I don't want him to dominate the market alone!" Shangguan Qingge said directly.

Mr. and Mrs. Shang Laofan were a little surprised by Shangguan Qingge's directness. The wealthy families they met always spoke in a roundabout way. This was the first time they met such a direct young lady, which was quite fresh.

Shangguan Qingge took out a silver note from his sleeve. It was a note for one hundred taels of silver and handed it to Boss Shang.

Boss Shang was very frightened and waved his hands quickly.

"Take it. This counts as my investment in your clothing shop. This is the capital, one hundred taels of silver. You can use it until the beginning of next spring. Before the beginning of next spring, you should learn how to make clothes well. After you finish reading these books, come to me for other books." Shangguan Qingge grabbed Mrs. Bai's hand, stuffed the banknote into her, and then counted the time on his fingers. It was now October, and until March next year, five months would be enough to make a large number of clothes.

"Within five months, you should be able to finish making all the backlog of materials. Once those materials are sold out, you can start buying new materials."

The couple was very moved after hearing this. Their eyes were red. They stood up and wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but were stopped by Shangguan Qingge.

"Come on, come on, don't be like this. I'm not doing this for free. I'm just investing in your shop. I'll be one of the owners from now on. I only want 30% and I'll give you 70%. After all, you two are the main force."

When the two heard this, they were even more grateful. Although it was just a share investment, they both knew in their hearts that Miss Shangguan was the one who saved them.

"Well... Miss, since you are going to buy shares, why don't you make it clear and sign a contract to be on the safe side." Mrs. Bai said. When Boss Shang heard this, he touched her. Boss Shang felt that this was not a good idea, after all, the other party was helping him.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's sign the contract. This is the safest way." Shangguan Qingge agreed very readily. She took out the banknotes and handed them to Boss Shang.

Seeing Shangguan Qingge like this, Boss Shang couldn't refuse.

The contract was written in black and white, and at the end, everyone signed their names and put their fingerprints on it!

Shangguan Qingge asked the two to go back and deliver the things tomorrow.

The next day, Shangguan Qingge hired a carriage and brought a foot-operated sewing machine to them. Their eyes lit up.

This is a treasure. Just step on it and you can sew a piece of clothing in a short while!

Shangguan Qingge did not stay long. After teaching the two of them how to use it, he left. After all, he had to meet someone today.
