Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Chapter 152 Technical School

So Xiaocaoer’s embroidery workshop really has clients from all walks of life. The entrance is for ordinary people, and there is also a VIP room in the shop.

There were also wealthy families who felt that the common people visiting their store lowered their status and asked the store clerks to drive them away.

The clerk said: Everyone who comes in is a customer. We are open for business. It is not easy for ordinary people to buy things. We can't discourage people from mustering up the courage to buy something, right?

But if you don't want to pick things with ordinary people, you can choose to book the whole store. Book the whole store is different. We can close the store for an hour to serve you. The minimum consumption for book the whole store is 200 taels. During this period, we will only serve you. After an hour, whether you have picked something suitable or not, we will continue to open the door to do business with ordinary people.

There are indeed people who choose to book the entire place, but this does not affect the people who are buying things at the door. You book your place, and I will push the shelves to the side and continue to serve the people.

Therefore, Xiaocaoer's embroidery workshop has a very good reputation among the common people.

Xiao Cao'er's embroidery workshop is called: Qingshan Embroidery Workshop

The embroidery workshop in Qingshan Village is easy to remember and pleasant to the ear.

Now, not only the young ladies in Qingshan Village are learning needlework, but the young ladies in the neighboring villages are also learning it. Those who have just started learning it practice repeatedly with scraps of cloth, and only start to work when they have practiced well enough.

The same goes for dolls. Beginners learn by taking scraps of cloth, and no matter what the dolls are like, they are put at the door of the store to sell, one cent for one, two for one cent. As long as you don't mind, you can take them away. Because not everyone can afford expensive dolls, these dolls made by beginners can serve as a childhood memory for children from poor families: they also had them once.

京都

This family was also looking at the things Qi Xingyun brought back. He was the crown prince.

That's right, the Crown Prince, because the Crown Prince had not been in good health since childhood. When he was born, he had just pacified the country and had not yet established his throne, and he was poisoned. Although the poison was later removed, there were still sequelae. Fortunately, the children he gave birth to were healthy.

The prince knew that he was not capable enough and that his father was healthier than himself, so he asked his father to teach his son. As he himself did not have the energy to serve the country, he decided to rest and recuperate in the hope of living a few more years to see his son ascend the throne.

The Crown Prince thinks so, but that doesn’t mean the other princes think so. There are many people who want to dethrone the Crown Prince.

The current emperor has five sons. Except for the crown prince who lives in Kyoto, the others have all been made kings and given fiefs. They are not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.

Qi Xingyun is the youngest son of the current emperor. He is about the same age as the crown prince and has the best relationship with him. Therefore, when other princes want to dethrone the crown prince, they have to be cautious of Qi Xingyun.

So they created some troubles for Qi Xingyun from time to time, so that he could not take care of the Crown Prince.

But they overestimated themselves and underestimated the prince. Although the prince could not become emperor due to his physical condition, it was because of his physical weakness, not his mental weakness, which did not affect his ability to help his son ascend the throne.

At this time, the Crown Prince took the plan written by Qi Xingyun and discussed with the Crown Prince how to maximize the benefits of this plan to the people.

"The plan that the little uncle sent back was first proposed by the family of Mr. Zheng's disciple Yang Zhuqing. Sweet potato flour was also invented by their family. And the high-yield crops of sweet potatoes and corn in the past two years were first discovered by their family." said the Crown Prince.

"Their family has come up with so many things in the past few years." The prince said in disbelief.

"Yes, it's a lot. We also made a lot of money." The Crown Prince said with a smile.

Qi Xingyun and Zheng Huaming's businesses have a lot of Crown Prince's shares. The Yang family cooperates with Qi Xingyun and others to make things, so Crown Prince has a share behind them. They have made a lot of money in the past few years. Although he is a member of the royal family, he has so many people to support, so how can he not spend money?

"Do they know the identity of your little uncle?" the prince asked worriedly. He loved his brother like a son, and would not let anyone get close to him.

"They probably don't know the young uncle's identity. They only know that Mr. Zheng is a high-ranking official who returned from the capital. Later, because of the issue of high-yield grain seeds, Mr. Zheng took the initiative to propose to accept Yang Zhuqing as his apprentice. This was to prevent the grain seeds from being controlled by powerful families, and also to protect their family." The Crown Prince explained.

"What do you think of their plan?" asked the prince.

In the plan, Xiao Caoer suggested that part of the profits from the sweet potato flour workshop could be used to build a school so that more children from poor families could read. In addition to teaching basic literacy, the school also teaches some basic skills, such as carpentry, washing and cutting vegetables in restaurants, and serving as waiters. It is a short-term training course. After passing the exam, the county government will issue a certificate. When you apply for a job in various shops, the shop owners will look at you with a certificate.

Qi Xingyun, Zheng Huaming and Tang Yanshu were all dumbfounded when they heard this suggestion. They knew that waiters in restaurants had to learn this, but they had never thought that people in the kitchens of restaurants had to learn how to wash and cut vegetables? Isn't this something everyone can do?

Xiao Caoer asked at the time: "Who knows these things right after birth? Some children from rural areas don't have much meat. If you ask them to cut meat, should they cut it horizontally or vertically? But it's different after learning. They can get the hang of it right away. The employer only needs to test them and they can start working without much teaching.

We can call this school a technical school. Rural children who have attended training classes will have basic skills and it will be easier for them to find jobs, and they will not be rejected because they don't know anything.

It would be best if this school could be attended by both boys and girls, and then the embroidery ladies from the embroidery workshop could be asked to teach them some basic female skills, so that girls could also earn some money.

In addition to teaching literacy, teachers at technical schools can invite people from shops of different industries to teach them other things. Well, it is a form of cooperation between shops and technical schools. They don’t have to go every day, but once every few days to teach some basic practical knowledge. When the children finish their studies, these cooperating shops can give priority to hiring them, and the children can also choose which shop to work in.”
