Chapter 209 The Legendary Aunt (1)
"Sit together, do together!" She hurriedly pulled the woman back, and said while looking at the work in her hands. "How often can you sew a dress?"

"Seven days for long gowns, two days for small clothes, one day for bellybands, one day for obscene trousers..." The woman got nervous and said all the words in one go.

"How much money can you make that month?"

"For long gowns, you can make one for [-] renminbi, small clothes for [-] renminbi, apron and obscene trousers for [-] renminbi, and you can probably earn two or three taels of silver a month."

Gu Qingmei nodded, this kind of income is not bad in the city, it seems that Murong Yu and the others didn't treat these needlework girls harshly.

Gu Qingmei secretly waved at shopkeeper Liu, signaling him to go out first, and then said to the needle girls around with a smile: "I'm here today to ask everyone if you have any opinions on the store? That is to say, you What are your requirements for the store? For example, are you satisfied with the food? Or something else?"

"Ah?" These needle girls were stunned when they heard the words. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a boss who asked the people below what they thought of the boss. They all stared at each other blankly for a while, not knowing what to say What.

Gu Qingmei smiled and said: "If you work for me, I have to satisfy you, not only in terms of remuneration, but also in other aspects. When you are satisfied, the work will be serious. The work that comes out of the bottom will be more efficient, and I can make more money, which is the best of both worlds, so you don't have to worry about the future, if you have any requirements, I will consider it and try to satisfy you as much as possible."

Finally, a young needle-mother hesitated and said: "Actually, we have no other requirements, that is... my son is three years old this year. Unfortunately, his mother-in-law died last year and there is no one to take care of him at home. I sent it to the countryside and asked my mother to take care of it, and I didn’t see him a few times a year. If only there was a place in the city to take care of the child for me, so that I could see him every day when I go home.”

kindergarten!
Gu Qingmei immediately thought of this place, so she nodded heavily and said: "This suggestion is very good, I will let shopkeeper Liu implement it later. Do you have any other suggestions?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Gu Qingmei pondered, since they have not received human rights education, they will naturally not strive for too much benefit for themselves. The needle girl who just came up with the idea of ​​a kindergarten just now is just thinking about it.

So she got up and walked out, stood in the yard and said to shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu, I have just been to the embroidery village, and I told the shopkeeper Zhang of the embroidery village about the problem of light. When the doors and windows are closed, the light in the room is not good, so you have to light candles, I have already taught him how to increase the light, you can learn it later, and move it here."

"Yes yes yes!" Shopkeeper Liu Nuonuo said yes.

"Also, you look for a house nearby, and then find a few wives, and then take all those who have children in a few stores to the house every day, and take care of them if they are under five years old. For those aged five to 12, hire a few tutors from private schools, so that they can be taught, boys and girls should be taught to read.”

"This..." Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help raising his eyes to look at her strangely after hearing this, and hesitated. "In this way, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money..."

"Listen to me!" Gu Qingmei lowered her voice. "Among those children, I want to pick some promising ones to work for Young Master Murong and the Fourth Prince."

She didn't dare to say that these children were actually the ones she wanted to cultivate with the hands of shopkeeper Liu, and they would be used by her in the future, so she had to play Murong Yu and the fourth prince under the banner.

Sure enough, shopkeeper Liu stopped talking after hearing this.

"Also, I would like to ask, how do we sell clothes to people in our store now, and what are the basis for customers to choose the style of clothes?"

"Uh..." Shopkeeper Liu didn't understand why she asked this, but explained anyway. "It's just like that, each prefecture has its own regulations, just follow it every year."

"That is to say, what kind of clothes will those in charge of purchasing buy, and what kind of clothes will those girls wear?"

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, "That's right!"

Gu Qingmei laughed, shook her head and said: "This is too passive, shopkeeper Liu, you go to the street tomorrow, invite all those talented people who set up stalls and sell paintings, find a few girls with good figures, and wear them in our shop to make clothes. The fashionable clothes, let these scholars draw them with fine brushwork, remember, the paper should not be too big, mainly draw the clothes, as for the girl's appearance, you can ignore it. Give them a tael of silver for a picture, and then paint those pictures Take it and frame it, but don’t make it into a scroll, but make it into a big book like a book. Looking back, find a few young, beautiful and eloquent daughters-in-law, take these books, go to the homes of those rich families, and show them to the girls. At the same time Cut out a small strip of each kind of clothing material, nail it on a wooden board, and let them choose."

Shopkeeper Liu listened to her idea, couldn't help but raised his hand and patted his forehead, "My dear girl, how did your head grow? What you think is different from us , Such a good idea, why didn't I think of it?"

Gu Qingmei said in her heart, it's a pity that there are no cameras in this era, so those scholars can only draw one by one.

After instructing Shopkeeper Liu a few more words, she came to Buzhuang. She knew that Buzhuang must be a tough nut to crack, so she didn't come here until the end.

The layout of the cloth shop is the same as that of the clothing store. There are counters on the east and west sides, one side sells clothes materials, and the other side sells materials suitable for making quilt covers and curtains.

There are also young guys who greeted enthusiastically, asking whether the guests want to buy clothes materials or quilt covers and curtains.

Gu Qingmei said that she took a casual look first, and then came to the counter selling clothes and materials. In fact, it was not the first time she came here, she had visited several times before, but this time the purpose was different.

She looked at the counter and found that the two ends of the counter were stacked with low-end cotton cloth, while the shelves behind the counter were filled with mid-to-high-end fabrics.

She picked out some brocade satins with bright designs, plain satin, lining silk, and some cotton cloths with small florals, and some silks with fresh and tender colors suitable for little girls. After asking Su Chenqing to help her move the materials to the carriage, she asked the shopkeeper if the shopkeeper was there.

The man saw that she was so generous, and bought more than 100 taels of material at once. He didn't dare to underestimate her, so he hurriedly invited the shopkeeper out.

Shopkeeper Chen came out and saw that it was her, his complexion immediately turned ugly, and he said with a fake smile: "Miss Gu is here, the villain has never greeted you, please forgive me!"
