After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 313 Cleaning up the shop

When the two of them returned, they became strict with the group.

They had already had an idea about cotton weaving some time ago, and now they are mainly studying how to weave better based on the existing ones.

Jiang Jun and Xiaoya divided the group into two teams and included hemp in the research.

It was Ye Qing who proposed to set up a separate team to study hemp. She did not intend to only do high-end cloth business, she wanted to include all grades.

There were no weaving workshops in Wu'an City, and all the cloth was brought from the provincial capital.

Ye Qing's workshop can not only occupy the market in Wu'an City, but also attract business from the dock.

During this period, the silkworms in the village had not been raised well, and Ye Qing's mind was on innovation.

The cloth in the workshop is just like the cloth in Lucheng, and is not competitive.

If business in the workshop is good, others can go to Lucheng to dig two people back and take away half of the business.

Ye Qing likes to innovate and create styles that are not available now.

She didn't know how to weave, but she had seen a lot of fabrics. She only needed to describe the general appearance of the fabric, and leave the rest to the workshop to study.

Ye Qing set up a prize, and anyone who had new fabrics or woven different patterns would be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

Improving the loom and reducing the time of weaving is also considered innovation, and you can get ten taels of silver.

Everyone has already learned the basics of weaving, but the workshop has little silk, so recently everyone has started to slack off.

After hearing about the reward, everyone cheered up and racked their brains every day to think of ways to improve the situation.

Some of the girls were smarter, so they formed a team, discussed with each other, and worked out a solution, and then they divided the ten taels of silver equally among them.

No matter how they came up with the idea, Ye Qing would be generous in giving them money as long as there were results.

Suddenly, there was no sound of chatting in the workshop, and the breaks between weaving were all spent discussing what could be improved.

There is less work in the workshop now, and Ye Yuan has also devoted himself to research. He first asked Jiang Jun to teach him how to weave, and then figured out how to improve it.

Ye Fan was even more enthusiastic. He already knew how to weave cloth, and after work, he would go to Ye Laoer's house to ask for advice on carpentry.

After Ye Fan studied for a few days, he was called away by Ye Qing.

"Qingya, what do you want to talk to me about? I was just studying whether the part on the loom can be replaced with a round one to save some effort."

Ye Qing became interested, "Have you tried it? Does it work?"

"No, I just had an idea." Ye Fan was a little embarrassed. Recently, he had eight hundred ideas a day, and none of them worked.

Ye Qing ignored it. Inspiration alone was useless. He had to try it in practice.

"I asked you to come here because I want to arrange a job for you. I'm going to clean up the shop on the dock. Would you like to go and watch over it?"

"A round one will definitely work," Ye Fan said, still thinking about the loom.

"Shop, clean up the shop. I can do it. I'm willing to go." Ye Fan's brain just reacted and he immediately put the loom and other things out of his mind.

Ye Qingchen knew what Ye Fan liked. He didn't really like to improve the loom, he just had his eyes on the ten taels of silver.

"You can continue to research the improved loom. If you succeed, you can get ten taels of silver."

Ye Fan scratched his head and said, "Hehe, I will definitely take care of the shop before thinking about these things."

Ye Qing took out the drawing and showed him how the shop was arranged.

This design is different from other fabric shops. There are only fabrics on display in front. Once the customer places an order, the fabrics are shipped directly from the warehouse.

There are also several private rooms. Passing ships rest at this pier, and the families of the masters will come down to take a walk and stroll around the streets.

The store should be decorated elegantly and privacy should be taken into consideration, so that you won’t have to worry about not being able to sell the fabrics.

Ye Fan had never seen this kind of design before, so he asked about every detail in detail.

"Qingya, each room is equipped with a bronze mirror and a place to wash hands. Wouldn't it cost too much to just set up a public one in one place?"

"We can't save this money. My goal for this shop is to only serve distinguished guests, so the service inside must be good. Do you think the families of those masters would be willing to share a shop with others?"

Ye Fan also often went to the dock and knew the style of those ladies.

"Can you make this bronze mirror smaller? The one that's the size of my body is too expensive."

"Don't save money. Just make a few pieces. It won't cost too much. After buying the fabrics, these ladies will definitely try them on themselves and want to see the effect in the mirror."

Ye Fan listened to Ye Qing's considerations and stopped worrying about the cost. He just asked about all the parts he didn't understand.

Ye Qing didn't mind explaining it, so he explained it more clearly now so that he wouldn't have to redo it later.

"This is a bit troublesome. I'll ask Uncle Li to take a look. They have a lot of experience in this."

Ye Qing felt more relieved after hearing this from Uncle Li Zi. The two of them had cooperated several times and she had asked him to clean up her shop and warehouse.

Uncle Li could basically understand Ye Qing's drawings. If there were any parts he didn't understand, they could just communicate further.

Ye Qing greeted Ye Yuan and asked him to get the money for decorating the shop from Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan took out a new account book and used it to record the shop's expenses.

Ye Qing gave Ye Fan a month, telling him not to be too anxious and to be meticulous in every aspect.

This was the first time Ye Fan had done something like this alone, so he went to ask Tietou for advice. Tietou had helped Ye Qing deal with this several times before.

Ye Qing was a man who trusted his subordinates. After handing the person over to Ye Fan, he only visited him twice in the first few days and didn't care about him anymore after that.

Whenever Ye Fan encountered a problem, he would go to Ye Qing.

Ye Dalang is at the dock every day, and occasionally goes to check the progress. Every time he goes, he is shocked, as he has never seen such an arrangement.

After hearing about this, Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li asked Ye Dalang to take them to have a look in a ox cart.

"Grandma, wait until everything is healed before going to see it again."

"No, your brother's words make me itchy. I want to see what it looks like now, and then compare it with how it looks after I clean it up."

Ye Qing couldn't persuade the two of them, so he could only ask Zhou to go and take a look together.

A few people arrived at the shop and saw many people coming in and out.

Ye Fan was in the shop and saw a ox cart parked at the door. He thought it was delivering materials.

"Grandma, uncle, aunt, you are here."

"Brother Ye Fan, please take my grandparents to have a look. They want to see it."

Ye Fan's face was full of smiles. "Grandpa, please be careful where you step. It's a bit messy here. Let me introduce you to it."

Ye Qing ignored them and went to inspect the shop to see what needed improvement.

"Qingya, you are so careless. Leave it to us and you won't come back."

When Ye Qing saw the person coming, a smile appeared on his face.

"Uncle Li Zi, how can I not trust you? I feel relieved with you and Brother Ye Fan here."

Uncle Li Zi likes to cooperate with Ye Qing. Once the two sides communicate on how to deal with the problem, he will not interfere or change his mind.

Ye Qing is straightforward and Li Zi is not stingy, they both do their best.
