Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Both are straightforward people.

Shopkeeper Wen did what he said. He took a pen and paper from the counter and started writing the contract. After the two signed and sealed it, they chatted for a while and explained everything about the items in the shop.

After all, this is where I have lived since I was a child, so I still feel a little reluctant to sell it.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Before I sell it, I have an unsolicited favor. The waiter in the teahouse is called Wenyuan. I adopted him since he was a child. He has no parents and has relied on me for his livelihood since he was a child. He is hardworking and smart. I hope you can let him continue to work here and earn a living..."

"Don't worry, the salary is not high, only twenty cents a month. If he finds it too much trouble, ten cents for a meal will be enough..."

Yun Zhenzhen followed her gaze to look at the child. After the only table of guests left, he had been busy wiping the table and washing the tea sets. He was also very enthusiastic when someone came in.

She nodded and said, "When the new shop opens, I can keep him if he works hard, but if I find out he's being cunning, don't blame me for kicking him out."

After receiving a positive answer, Shopkeeper Wen finally smiled slightly: "Okay, okay, don't worry, I've watched this child grow up since he was a child."

That was the end of the matter. Shopkeeper Wen took the two of them around and explained everything in the shop to her in detail.

After leaving the teahouse, Yun Zhenzhen went to the snack shop in town to buy some snacks and small snacks such as peanuts and melon seeds.

In recent days, several ox carts in the village have gone to Zang County to collect sheep. Yun Zhenzhen can only take the ox cart of Yunjia Village to the main intersection, and then walk back.

Because of this delay, I didn't get home until more than half an hour later.

Yun Zhenzhen came to the workshop carrying some things. The aunts inside were sitting around the table, chatting while busy with their work, their fingers flipping so fast that only a shadow could be seen.

The house was bustling with activity.

Yun Zhenzhen walked into the room, looked around, then stood in front and put all the snacks in her hand on the table, which were several large bags. Then she smiled and spoke.

"Everyone has worked hard recently. Here are some snacks I bought from town as a reward for everyone. Let's share them during our break later. You can take any leftovers home."

"Oh, Sister Yun, you are too polite. Not only is the salary high, but you also let us eat and take it away." Aunt Zhao was the first to speak. Although there was some blame in her tone, she couldn't stop smiling.

My children eat the same good food every day, and their appetites have become spoiled.

The other aunts also felt embarrassed and waved their hands to refuse.

"Okay, take it with confidence," Yun Zhenzhen said with a smile. "You all work hard every day, so it's only right that you get a reward. After you eat, just help me come up with some new styles and needlework techniques."

"There's also good news. Our first batch of blankets has been sold successfully, and the buyers are all gentry in the city. We are in short supply now."

After hearing the second half of the sentence, everyone's attention was successfully attracted.

The aunts below all looked surprised, their eyes full of disbelief. How could the things they made by hand be favored by a rich master?

Yun Zhenzhen clapped her hands and continued, "Everyone has done a great job. We can continue to research new needle techniques. Each new needle technique will be rewarded with fifty coins. Please give it your all."

The profits of blankets are now obvious to everyone. Within a month, someone will imitate the most common weaving method. Only by continuing to innovate can we stay ahead in this industry.

Let others just follow behind.

Yun Zhenzhen was indeed right. The merchants in the city had their own sources of information.

While ordinary people still didn't know what blankets were, several cloth shops like Zhangji, Shunji and others were already trying to find out the details about blankets.

Where does Rongjia Textiles get its goods from? What are the raw materials? How is it made into what it is today? Similarly, can you make the same products in your own shop?

At this moment, in the backyard of Zhangji Cloth Shop on Central Back Street, two men were sitting at the table.

"Is Rong's cloth woven by Zhang's in the neighboring county?" The owner of Zhang's Cloth Shop asked his manager, holding a teacup in his hand.

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment before continuing, "I remember their boss was from the neighboring Taiyin County. The family business started with silk, so it's most likely them. But I can't figure out where they got this blanket business this time. I haven't heard any news about it before."

"The Rong Family Textiles also opened a small cloth shop in Liuye Town. They have always kept a low profile. But now they are doing this. I'm afraid there must be something big going on behind the scenes."

"Keep a close eye on where they get their next batch of blankets, and be sure to get two back as samples." The boss frowned slightly.

"Yes!"

The shopkeeper responded in a deep voice.

Similar conversations took place in various cloth shops in the city, and everyone showed great interest in the new blanket.

Yun Zhenzhen handed over the short-term goals, but did not let go completely. Instead, she stayed in the workshop to work with everyone and talked about the future development of the workshop.

Although she can't do any housework, she has a lot of experience.

Modern knitted herringbone patterns, wavy patterns, and cable knit patterns, any style she could think of, she would draw on paper with a brush, and let Yunjing polish it for everyone's reference.

She also came up with a new idea to weave a cloak.

In fact, the method of making a cloak is similar to that of a blanket, but the occasions in which they are used are different. A blanket can only be used on the bed indoors, but a plush cloak can be worn when traveling, which can better promote publicity.

And it can also be matched with corresponding weaving methods, such as diamond weaving method, which was figured out by Old Lady Qin in her early years. She immediately asked Old Lady Qin to weave a complete blanket.

Compared with ordinary flat patterns, the patterned blanket looks particularly exquisite, and paired with the light wood brown color, it is more elegant and generous.

Yun Zhenzhen did what she said and immediately took out fifty copper coins from her pocket and handed them to her. Everyone in the workshop could ask Old Lady Qin for advice on this method.

For each new patterned blanket, they would receive an extra penny in reward.

This makes sense. This weaving method is more complicated and takes more time, but it can be done much faster once you become proficient.

Old Mrs. Qin was happy and proud holding the copper coin, and she answered every question from those who asked her.

Seeing such a large handful of copper coins being put into Old Lady Qin's pocket, the others also held their breath and prepared to work hard to come up with new ideas.

I thought that if I could get so many copper coins, I would be so happy that I would be so confused when I go to bed at night.
