Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart Chapter 324: Recruiting Helpers (Part 2)
After the laughter, everyone turned to the silent Shen Qinglan.
"This is..." Soone looked at her, puzzled.
Soone familiar with her laughed, "This is the third young lady from the Shen family."
"Oh!" The others suddenly realized.
Soone laughed, "She has really changed a lot! It’s only been a little while, and she looks different again!"
Shen Qinglan smiled and greeted everyone, "Hello, aunties!"
"Hey~"
The won responded in unison.
Madam Hua ate a few snacks and drank half a bowl of tea, then looked at the won and asked, "Did Madam Shen tell you why you’re here?"
"No," all the won shook their heads.
Soone said, "She said she would talk about it when she returns and told us to sit for now."
Soone asked Shen Qinglan, "Third young lady, do you know what’s planned?"
"Yes," Shen Qinglan said, "I’ve brought the items. They’re at my house, I’ll go get them for everyone to see."
She looked at the group and said, "Madam Hua and aunties, please sit and enjoy the tea, I’ll be back soon."
Everyone was quite eager to know what was planned, so they didn’t ask further questions, only urging her to return quickly.
When Shen Qinglan returned with a cushion, Mrs. Jiang happened to bring in a few young won and a few thirteen and fourteen-year-old girls.
"What is this?"
The young girls paused to ask upon seeing the cushion in Shen Qinglan’s hand.
"This is a cushion." Mrs. Jiang took the cushion from Shen Qinglan and showed it to everyone.
This cushion was a sample hurriedly made with help from the Embroidery Shop, embroidered with Ali holding a peach.
A woman laughed and asked, "What’s this? It looks quite cute."
Shen Qinglan explained calmly, "This is called Ali."
Mrs. Jiang laughed, "Can you make one?"
"Of course, but this pattern..."
"Don’t worry about the pattern, Qinglan will draw it for you." Mrs. Jiang smiled, "I gathered everyone here today precisely for this matter."
She looked at the group and said, "As for the next steps, Qinglan will explain to you."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Qinglan.
Shen Qinglan understood and stepped forward, "I want to make a batch of cushions and gathered everyone to help with it. I’ll provide the patterns and materials; you just need to embroider and make them into cushions."
She looked at the group and said, "For average embroidery, I’ll pay thirty wen per cushion, and for good embroidery, I’ll pay thirty-five to forty wen per cushion. What do you think?"
"Really?" The group was delighted.
Usually, embroidering handkerchiefs and such, taking out ten or twenty pieces only earns a few tens to a hundred wen.
These cushions aren’t big, and finishing one or two a day might earn sixty to seventy wen, which is already considered a high inco.
"Really!" Shen Qinglan said, "I’ve brought so fabric scraps for stuffing. You can pick them up later, and if it’s not enough, I’ll have soone deliver more from the town."
She originally planned to divide the work into batches, so to handle the embroidery and so the assembly, but that was too ti-consuming. It might be more efficient to let them finish at ho on their own.
She’s not afraid of imitation, anyway, in Jinxi Town, ladies only recognize things from Jinxiu Mansion. Even if they imitate and sell them, they probably won’t get the price she offers.
"Third young lady, can we take it ho and start now?" Madam Hua asked.
"Of course!" Shen Qinglan said, "If you’ve decided to make them, you can co with to collect materials. If not, then forget it."
