After entering the book, the young cannon fodder brought his short-lived mother to fly happily

"I asked someone about it!" Meng Yu said casually, "Mom is right! She is not losing out. She still makes some money from those clothes which cost 800 wen each. I've seen that the clothing shops in the county sell them for 5 liang of silver each."

Zhao Susu paused, her smile faded a little: "Mother is too short-sighted and narrow-minded, so she made such a mistake. She almost got swindled out of a large sum of money, which made her and her homeless! Doing business requires more than just skills. Mother still has a lot to learn. I will pay attention to it in the future!"

Meng Yu smiled and said, "Then Mom should go out more often when she has time! The business of the shop is stable now, so Mom can hire some helpers, so that Mom can have time to go out more!"

She bought this shop to let Zhao Susu leave the village and avoid the fate of being killed and died early in her previous life, not to keep her here.

Su Jin Tailor Shop had its first assistant, a young woman who knew how to sew. Zhao Susu would give her the cut clothes and ask her to be responsible for sewing certain parts of them.

This was the inspiration given to her by Meng Yu.

Meng Yu also suggested that she hire a shopkeeper.

Zhao Susu originally disagreed with this because she was the shopkeeper.

If she needs to hire a shopkeeper, how will she explain this to Master Mu?

Meng Yuxiao: "Mom, did Master Mu tell you that this shop is completely handed over to you, and he doesn't care how you hire people or how you run it, he only cares about the results? He also said that the profits and dividends will be settled in a unified manner after three years?"

"Yes!"

"Then you can hire a shopkeeper so that you have more time to learn more things and do better business, don't you think?"

"That seems to be the case!"

So, after the shop had helpers, it also had a shopkeeper.

The person was introduced by Shopkeeper Qian.

The Jixiang Restaurant was handed over to the shopkeeper Qian. Without Mu Donglai, the troublemaker, the second master of the Mu family who was previously in charge of business was a useless person who protected his own people.

Shopkeeper Qian was suppressed, sabotaged, and could not be offended by Mu Donglai. He had been angry for a long time, but now all the anger has disappeared. He made drastic measures and was determined to become one of the best shopkeepers when he reported his work at the end of the year.

He thanked the third son of the new Mu family business owner for his recognition and support.

Moreover, the restaurant had a new look after being renovated, and the three new dishes had become the restaurant's signature dishes. People from the county even drove here specifically to taste the dishes, and business was booming.

When Mu Guanchu left, he was asked to help the mother and daughter, just to help find a shopkeeper, so of course he did his best.

With someone's help, Zhao Susu had more time.

She was like a person who had opened up her Ren and Du meridians. As her knowledge grew, she learned some tricks of doing business without any guidance.

What’s interesting is that Mrs. Wei, who lived in Mr. Ding’s house, took the 17 sets of clothes and left with a gloomy face. As soon as she arrived in the county town, she took all the clothes to Hua Xiangrong Clothing Store in the county town.

Jinshang Huafu has its own embroiderers and does not accept clothes from outside.

Hua Xiangrong is different. This shop has its own embroiderer and also accepts clothes from outside.

After looking at the goods, the shopkeeper immediately offered 1500 coins per piece.

One two five? Almost double?

Mother Wei was also a smart person. Although the shopkeeper pretended not to care, she couldn't help but glance at him. She immediately had an idea and bargained with him. In the end, the deal was concluded at an average price of two taels of silver per piece.

Mother Wei was very happy to get such a large sum of money. She never expected that the clothes made by an ordinary tailor in the town would be bought by Hua Xiangrong at a high price.

She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had known that she could make so much money by reselling the tailor's clothes, she shouldn't have made such a fuss.

I also regretted not ordering a few dozen more at the time.

But she did get a great bargain.

At that time, Zhao Susu was timid and narrow-minded. She only made 20 or 30 cents for each of the 17 sets of clothes, not counting her labor costs.

As she often went to clothing stores, cloth shops, silk shops in the county town, and even got to know all about food, clothing, housing and transportation, she was no longer as ignorant of prices as before.

It is absolutely impossible for Mother Wei to take advantage of this again.

Even the shopkeeper Hua Xiangrong never expected that the clothes he bought for an average of two taels of silver per piece would be sold out so quickly even though the price had doubled because of their exquisite workmanship, new styles, and appealing to both the elite and the masses. There were even people who came to inquire about their purchases.

The shopkeeper thought it was made by the tailor of Mr. Ding's family. After asking around quietly, he found out that it was actually made by an ordinary tailor in Baiwu Town. He took some time out of his schedule and went to Su Jin's tailor shop in person.

When he saw the clothes in the tailor shop, his eyes lit up. Although the materials of these clothes were much worse, he could tell that the workmanship was very skillful. If they were made of more expensive materials, would he still worry that no one would buy them?

He immediately cleared out all the clothes hanging in the shop, as if he was purchasing new stock.

Su Jin Tailor Shop only does business in the town, so it can be considered a small business. It has been slowly building up its reputation, taking steady steps and not becoming too popular.

Now the shopkeeper Hua Xiangrong was excited to see the opportunity and took the initiative to sign a consignment contract with her.

Su Jin Tailor Shop sends 20 pieces of clothing to Hua Xiangrong every month for consignment sales, and Hua Xiangrong takes a 10% commission.

Zhao Susu naturally had no objection, and the shopkeeper Hua Xiangrong was also very happy. He suggested: "Madam Zhao, you can classify the fabrics into different levels. Don't just make ordinary fabrics. Even if you use expensive and good fabrics, there are many rich people in the county town, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them!"

He even volunteered: "Our shop has some connections in the prefectural city and the county town. There are very few good fabrics in the county town. If Madam Zhao needs it, I can also ask someone to get the best fabrics in the prefectural city and the county town. With Madam Zhao's craftsmanship, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it!"

This cooperation was a very pleasant discussion.

In the past, Zhao Susu would have been flattered and submissive. But after experiencing the misfortune of being almost sold to Qihonglou, the maternal nature and resilience in her body were stimulated.

After activating her business skills, she was able to have a positive conversation with the shopkeeper Hua Xiangrong, and the contract they finally reached was beneficial to both parties.

Cao Shuqing, who was successfully enrolled in Ziguang Academy, worked hard to maintain his image as a person with a poor family but tenacious spirit.

A few months after he entered school, the teachers and students at Hansong Court knew that his father had passed away and his mother was a widow, and that he was an excellent student, smart and hardworking.

Ziguang Academy is divided into Qingmei Courtyard, Zhilan Courtyard, Zizhu Courtyard, Moju Courtyard, Hansong Courtyard and Cuibai Courtyard.

Hansongyuan is the class for child prodigies.

The children inside are no older than ten years old and all of them are very outstanding.

The academy holds an examination every three months, and the top-ranked student will be exempted from tuition and receive rewards.

This happened to happen in the first month that Cao Shuqing entered Hansongyuan.

But unfortunately, even though he was reborn, he had been an official for too long and his basic knowledge was not that solid. He did not even pass the exam as the prodigy of Hansong Academy and only got fifth place.

Shu Xiu was of course not exempted, but his family still had some assets, which could support him for a few months.

But he knew very well that his family background was considered wealthy in the village, but it would be out of place in the county town.

Besides, since his father died, he has only been going out and not coming in. He can't hold on for long! He has to find another way.
