Zhao Ergou told the story about Zhou's wonton shop and also drew a picture of the shop's floor.
"You have a good idea." Cheng Wanwan praised, "If the backyard is well utilized, it will not be worse than the main store. You may have to keep an eye on the decoration in person."
As she spoke, she called Si Dan over and she dictated. Si Dan was responsible for polishing and writing, and wrote three contracts.
"We will keep one copy ourselves, give one to Shopkeeper Zhou, and take the other to the government for filing." She pointed to the last item and said, "Only by including the government can we deter those who want to play tricks. In the future, our franchisees will There will only be more and more people, and it will be difficult to manage when there are more people. Only by using the law to restrain people's hearts can we avoid losses as much as possible. Of course, if some people insist on challenging the law, there is no other way but to follow the terms. deal with."
The contract clearly states that if the franchisee breaches the contract, he will be compensated ten times the franchise fee, and all leaked dishes will be compensated at the rate of one hundred taels of silver per dish...
Of course, if Dahe Banquet breaks the contract, it will also compensate all losses tenfold...
This contract is binding on both parties.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ergou went to the city to work on this matter.
Cao Yingying handed over the design draft that she spent two nights drawing. She drew hundreds of outfits and finally selected the three outfits that she was most satisfied with.
She looked at Cheng Wanwan nervously: "What do you think, mother?"
Cheng Wanwan actually doesn't have an in-depth understanding of fashion design, but she is a modern person and often reads fashion magazines, so she knows a little bit about this aspect. At least she knows what styles of clothes can be worn by fat, thin, tall and short people to hide their ugliness, but she I only know the general style, some details and sizes still need to be depended on professionals.
She looked at the three pictures carefully and was very surprised: "Yingying, you are very talented in fashion design."
She only mentioned a few points at the time, and Yingying understood them all. The three styles of clothes she designed are very distinctive. One is suitable for people with plump figures, one is suitable for people with short stature, and one is suitable for people with flat chests. It is eye-catching on paper, and it will probably look even better if it is made.
Cao Yingying breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll let the embroiderer make the clothes first."
"Each style of clothing is made in four sizes, and the four sizes are matched with different colors to try to be unique." Cheng Wanwan said, "After the clothes are made, do you plan to hang them up in Cao's shop for sale? Buy another shop by yourself?"
"I'm married, so I won't mix business matters with the Cao family." Cao Yingying had already made up her mind, "Don't we still have an unrented shop at the market in Dahe Village? I plan to let Kong Xiuniang rent one. The clothes are made and hung on the shop floor for sale.”
Cheng Wanwan looked at her approvingly.
After the lotus pond officially receives tourists, the business in the market will be boosted. These clothes specially designed for ladies will not have to worry about being sold.
Now, we need to increase production.
"If we decide to make ready-made clothes, I'm afraid we will have to recruit a lot of embroiderers." Cheng Wanwan thought, "Many little girls in our village learn embroidery from Kong embroiderers. Can their skills be up to par?"
Cao Yingying stood up and said, "I have to ask Kong Xiu Niang."
She took three design drawings and walked towards the Cao family mulberry garden.
Cheng Wanwan sat in the yard and continued to think about ways to improve the glycerin process. She was not a science student, so it was very difficult for her to read these books. She slowly thought about it, sorted it out, and compiled a charter.
As she watched, sweat began to form on her forehead. When she looked up, she found that the sun was getting stronger and stronger. She quickly moved to sit in the shade of a tree.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I really want to eat a bowl of ice powder.
By the way, ice powder!
She put down the pen in her hand, how could she forget such an important thing? Bingfen was the first step for her to make a fortune.
Selling it like last year is not feasible. She wants to turn the ice powder into a specialty food of Dahe Village.
She has a huge business at home, and she must be too busy. So, who should hand over this business?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw two sisters, Liu Daya and Liu Erya, coming in carrying a bamboo basket full of wild peaches.
Now that the flower seedlings have been planted, the two sisters have nothing serious to do, so they often run to the mountains. I heard that Cheng Wanwan likes to eat fruits, so she looks for them on the mountains every day.
"Second aunt, we found a peach tree on the mountain. The peaches are all red." Liu Erya washed a peach and handed it to Cheng Wanwan. "I ate one. It's sweet. Second aunt, try it." .”
Cheng Wanwan took a bite, it was crispy and crunchy, it was indeed sweet.
She asked the two girls to sit down and said casually: "Are you still used to living here with Second Aunt?"
When asked about this, Liu Daya's eye circles turned red. She lowered her head and said, "I didn't know that life could still be so comfortable... If my second aunt hadn't taken us in, our family would still be beaten and tortured every day." Bullied, starved..."
"What do you mean by taking in? Don't say that." Cheng Wanwan said while eating peaches, "Your mother is going to build a house after saving some money. It's only been a few months. You can start your own business at any time. Don't say anything about taking in." Yes. But the flower seedlings don’t need to be taken care of in the past few months. Your mother alone is enough. Is there anything you two sisters want to do?"
Liu Daya raised her head: "Second Aunt, I want to learn Kung Fu from Master He, is that okay?"
Cheng Wanwan chuckled and said: "You go to practice kung fu with San Niu and Si Dan every morning. I really think your second aunt doesn't know. Just learn if you want. Once you learn it, no one will dare to bully your family anymore. But learning kung fu is just that." We still have a whole day in the morning, don’t you want to do some small business?”
Liu Erya's eyes lit up: "I want to do business."
"Second aunt has a small business that I can hand over to you, but it requires hardship. Can you bear the hardship?"
"able!!"
The two girls said in unison.
Cheng Wanwan laughed: "Okay, I will teach you how to make this food tomorrow."
The two sisters looked at each other and saw hope in each other's eyes. There used to be little bits of hope, but now, that hope has exploded into a prairie fire.
In the afternoon, Cao Yingying came back from the mulberry garden.
"Kong Xiu Niang taught four apprentices, but one of them is pregnant, so only three of them can work for the time being." She said with a smile, "Let these three people make the clothes first. If they can be sold, we can expand hiring."
Cheng Wanwan was about to answer the call when she saw a person appear at the door of the yard.
She turned around and saw Sun Shuiqin.
Sun Shuiqin was wearing a goose-yellow dress. If you ignored her big belly, she looked particularly delicate.
"Why is Shagen's wife here? Come in and sit down."
Cheng Wanwan greeted.
No matter what kind of unpleasantness Ergou and Sun Shuiqin had in the past, they are now married, and Sun Shuiqin is living a good life like this. She will soon become a mother, and her life is slowly settling down, and the past is not so important.
She greeted, "How many months have it been? How long will it take to give birth?"
"It's only been five or six months, it's still too early to survive." Sun Shuiqin raised her eyes to look at Cao Yingying and said slowly, "Miss Cao, I have a merciless request..."
"Sister-in-law Shagen, don't call me that, it's weird." Cao Yingying said embarrassedly, "Just call me Ergou's wife."
Sun Shuiqin's eyes were dim and she spoke with difficulty: "Second daughter-in-law..."
