"Miao Miao!"
The hooded woman ran towards Ji Shu, her eyes full of surprise, "I was just planning to hang up the sign. I wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect the two of us to have a connection!"
Ji Shu's smile was as bright as a flower, "Let's talk in the room."
The mother in charge sent the two of them into the private room. When no one else was around, Chang Miao took off her hood.
She has a baby face, looks cute and cute, but is actually a year older than Ji Shu, and she is young and mature, and has many strange ideas in her belly.
When I met Chang Miao, Ji Shu had just left the cabinet and was worried about the shop in the Hou Mansion. She went around the shops to investigate people's livelihood needs. Chang Miao was also trying to open a shop for the first time at that time. Unfortunately, although she could develop advanced gadgets for later generations. , but has no backing and the ability to expand business.
The business district in Shengjing City is only that big. The things Chang Miao invented blocked other people's way to make a fortune. Her shop was ransacked, and the things she researched were often stolen. She suffered many setbacks. It was at this time that Ji Shu took the initiative Come to your door.
She can protect Chang Miao and help Chang Miao develop her shop. Chang Miao only needs to do research behind closed doors.
The two supported each other and soon developed the shop. The Zhao family occupies half of the business district in Shengjing City, and the two of them accounted for the other half. Chang Miao always jokingly called the two sisters the 'Condor Heroes' in the Shengjing business district. companion'.
"You went to Yan'an Mansion to provide disaster relief, were you not injured?"
Chang Miao took Ji Shu's hand and walked around her.
Ji Shu pulled her to sit down, "I wasn't injured, but I encountered a lot of things, which were quite thrilling..."
Chang Miao picked up a plate of melon seeds and looked at Ji Shu with bright eyes.
Ji Shu couldn't help but laugh, and told her the experience of Yan'an Mansion. Chang Miao was so frightened that her mouth grew bigger, and it took a long time before she swallowed with difficulty.
"The ancient border towns were really dangerous...but General Qi was quite brave. Fortunately, he is here."
Chang Miao felt distressed and peeled a few melon seeds for Ji Shu and handed them over.
"He is much better than the guy you married. It's a pity that you didn't discuss marriage with him."
"Ahem!"
Ji Shu choked on his saliva, coughed and his eyes turned red, and said covertly, "He was not in the capital at that time."
"I heard someone say on the way here that you were vomiting blood in front of Yunxiafang. Is it true?"
"It's fake. I was trying to scare Mr. Li and the others. It was water that I vomited, but I was chewing betel nuts in my mouth at the time, and it was mixed with a little red. It looked like blood."
"Shu'er is so smart! You can't drag yourself down because of that white-eyed wolf!"
Ji Shu smiled and said, "I'm going to make peace with Qi Chengxu."
"Really?! You finally figured it out!" Chang Miao couldn't wait to celebrate with ten whips!
She suddenly realized, "No wonder you want to give those shops in the Hou Mansion to that person named Jiang. But you worked hard day and night to support those shops. It's a shame that you have worked so hard to let her lose."
Ji Shu told Chang Miao her plan, and she felt relieved.
"By the way Shu'er, I almost forgot about the business! I came to you to ask you to see this."
Chang Miao stood up, took off her cloak, and walked around in front of Ji Shu.
She wore a green wide-sleeved one-piece rut. The green bamboo and auspicious clouds on the hem of the skirt seemed to be painted on. They were more clearly embroidered than usual. The pattern was novel and graceful. Ji Shu was amazed at first sight, and then he has been doing business for many years. Her experience told her that these clothes would definitely cause a craze.
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
"It looks great! Did you make it yourself?"
"Yes, this skirt is called Qingbi Vale Skirt. It is a twisted textile. Most of the patterns on it are tie-dyed. I have made a few pieces for you and will deliver them to our shop tomorrow. You ask Xitao to get it."
Chang Miao sat down and told her how to make clothes. Ji Shu was very happy.
"Miaomiao, you are so smart!"
"I also learned it from my ancestors, it is not my own original creation. If you think it is feasible, I will ask someone to do it. Spring will start soon, and you can sell it now!"
"Wait! Wait until Zhiyunfang here delivers Jiang Fu's batch of cotton before hanging the clothes out!"
Chang Miao's clothes were made at the right time. She wanted to see if Jiang Fu could still sell those tattered cottons with such new clothes and new cloths for sale.
Just, "Miaomiao, can these clothes only be made of silk?"
"Of course not. We can make silk, satin and gebu, but the patterns dyed on coarse cloth are not that beautiful, but the price is low."
Chang Miao thought of Ji Shu's words and asked, "The cotton piled in the warehouse was originally brought by Jiang Fu?"
"Yes, she bought a lot of them at a low price, pricing them at two hundred cents each, and preparing to make a lot of money."
Chang Miao curiously asked Ji Shu: "Is it really possible to make money?"
Ji Shu smiled and said, "Ordinary people can earn about five taels of silver every year. A piece of cotton cloth is 40 feet long, which can make five or six clothes. A frugal family buys two or three pieces of cloth at the end of each year, and the cotton clothes made can last for more than ten years. Years. Wealthier families buy one new tailor-made garment at the end of each year, but the actual demand is generally that much."
"Shops in Shengjing buy new cotton fabrics at the beginning of winter. They sell almost everything, and the people's demand is enough. No matter how cheap she sells it, most people will not buy it, because the demand is already enough, and the savings Isn’t it good to give Shuxiu money to buy rice and noodles?”
"So, she will definitely lose."
"Even good cotton can't make back its investment."
Besides, there was something wrong with her cotton.
Chang Miao stroked her chest, "This makes me feel at ease."
"With your new clothes, her business will be even worse."
"Then I'll help Shu'er vent your anger!"
Chang Miao became more motivated, "I'm going to go back and make a few more, and find a few trustworthy helpers to make them in large quantities. When I'm done, I'll put a sign in the shop to let you know."
The two usually communicated through the listing of their own shop. Chang Miao knew about Ji Shu's home, but Ji Shu didn't know about her.
She has always been so mysterious, but Chang Miao wouldn't say anything, and Ji Shu wouldn't ask any more questions.
On the other side, Jiang Fu kept an eye out. She specially found a cotton merchant to come to her door today.
"Can you please help me see if these cottons are good?"
In fact, the Zhao family had seen someone before and told her that the cotton was fine, but Jiang Fu had staked her entire fortune this time, so she still wanted to feel at ease.
The cotton merchant picked up the cotton, weighed it, and frowned.
"These cottons are inferior. The girl asked someone to cheat. It's better to return them as soon as possible."
Jiang Fu's eyes widened.
"What?!"
