Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, they were calculating how many clothes could be made from these fabrics and how many could be sewn every day. Of course, Shen Ruoyan, as the owner, couldn't just sit back and watch, so she picked up the pen and ink on the counter and said to everyone:

"During the Chinese New Year, I'll take care of all the food and drinks you have in the shop. What do you want to eat? Just tell me and I'll make a list. We'll get everything ready before the New Year!"

When she heard that she was going to prepare food, Qin'er was very excited and reported the names of several snacks in a row. Then she remembered that she had to stay with the lady in the Shangshu Mansion during the Chinese New Year and had no time to come over to help. Of course, she couldn't eat it. Desserts are served.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm and the fact that there was no business the year before, Chun Niang simply closed the shop and led everyone to start preparing for the New Year.

The shop suddenly became lively. A few people were responsible for cleaning, others were responsible for going out for shopping, and a few hard-working people had already begun to sit there and sew clothes.

"Sister-in-law Wang, your needlework skills are good!" someone said, pointing to a small piece of clothing that Mrs. Wang used to practice her skills.

Mrs. Wang smiled shyly and said: "I made the clothes for my two little dolls myself. Practice makes perfect. However, this time I went to Miaoyin Temple to help, and I met several women who used to make clothes. The embroidery girl, her needlework skills are really amazing, it is said that she can embroider two patterns at the same time on one piece of material!"

After hearing this, Shen Ruoyan suddenly came up with an idea.

Since opening this food shop, Shen Ruoyan has tasted the sweetness of doing business. In just a few months, the shop has begun to make a profit. If it continues to develop at this rate next year, wouldn't she make more money than her father? Too much?

So Shen Ruoyan has been thinking about whether she can open a new store. Unfortunately, the money she has on hand is not enough for her to open another store.

But after listening to Mrs. Wang's casual remarks just now, Shen Ruoyan suddenly thought that she could just skip the new shop and add more business to her own shop, which would be a way to make money!

Shen Ruoyan asked Aunt Wang, "Sister Wang, can you ask those embroiderers if they want to come to our shop to help?"

They all buy materials, so what are you doing by inviting the embroiderer over?

In the doubtful eyes of everyone, Shen Ruoyan expressed her thoughts, "I want to add another service of making clothes for people in our shop. Do you think that after customers buy the fabrics, they can directly buy them in our shop?" Tailor-made clothes, if there is anything inappropriate, you can communicate with us directly and we will help modify it, do you think this is okay?"

A widow who escaped from the south said: “Many of the food shops in our hometown are like this.

There are also some shops that make clothes out of materials in advance. If customers like it, they can buy it directly or slightly modify it according to their body shape. It is very convenient. Many people like to buy clothes in material shops.

However, after escaping to the capital, it seems that I have never seen such a shop. "

Shen Ruoyan explained: "Maybe because there are many powerful families in the capital, they have higher requirements for clothes and like to find experienced tailors to make clothes according to their body types. In order to save money, ordinary people usually buy fabrics home. I do it myself, so there is no shop like this.

But what you just said reminded me.The clothes we make can be divided into three grades, high, medium and low, just like selling cloth. The high-end ones must be exquisite and are mainly sold to those high-ranking officials.

As for the ordinary styles, we only earn a craft fee, so we don’t need to be too particular. This can save a lot of time for others to make tailoring and sewing, and some people should buy them.In this way, the needs of different people can be met. "

Chun Niang added: "And we can also help customers repair their clothes. Sometimes the clothes at home are torn, or the children have grown taller, and they want to repair them, but they can't find the same style of material. One piece of clothing can be worn multiple times. In a few years, they have become colorful floral clothes.

But we run a fabric shop. We don’t have much, but we have the most fabrics. We can help you find fabrics of the same color and pattern for repair. In this way, those who don’t have money will come to our shop to buy clothes in order to save trouble! "

"good idea!"

Then, everyone talked about the business model of the shops they had seen and heard in their hometowns.

As the saying goes, the three stooges are just like Zhuge Liang. A group of women chatted and laughed, and by the way, they also agreed on the store plan for next year.

Shen Ruoyan didn't expect that one of her acts of kindness would broaden her way to make money. After listening to everyone's words, she had many thoughts in her mind, but she didn't have money.

After Shen Ruoyan returned home, she wrote down all these thoughts one by one, and it was the Spring Festival before she knew it.

For this year's Spring Festival, Shen Ruoyan paid special attention to it. She dressed up beautifully and went to her parents' room to say hello early in the morning.

In the afternoon, Shen Ruochuan was rarely allowed to leave the study. He immediately took his sister to play wildly in the mansion, pasting Spring Festival couplets and changing peach charms. If it hadn't been for the lack of fruit in the winter, Shen Ruochuan would have wanted to take his sister to experience the fun of climbing trees and picking fruits.

Shen Ruoyan felt as if she had returned to the carefree time when she was a child.

In the evening, Shen Ruoyan's brother and sister sneaked into the kitchen again and wanted to prepare New Year's dishes for everyone with their sister-in-law, but Liu Nianyun kicked them out because they were in the way.

In the evening, everyone finally sat together and had a New Year's Eve dinner.

Seeing the family gathering together in a lively manner, Shen Ruoyan felt filled with emotions and secretly swore in her heart that she would protect them this time.

At the dinner table, the family's topic unknowingly turned to Shen Ruoyan's marriage.

Mrs. Shen took a piece of fish to Shen Ruoyan and asked: "Ayan, after the spring starts, it will be your wedding with Xiaoyan. How are you preparing for the embroidery that I asked you to embroider?"

She has prepared a generous dowry for her daughter, but according to custom, the bride should still embroider some embroidery that symbolizes happiness and put it in the dowry to show that the couple will live a harmonious and happy life.

Shen Ruoyan felt very guilty when she was asked, so she could only lower her head and pretend to take a big mouthful of rice. Her mother had mentioned this matter a long time ago, but these days she was busy with things in the shop and had not even touched a needle. She would have done this long ago. The matter was completely forgotten.

"A-Yan, don't worry. No matter how much or how little you embroider, it's all with your heart. Mr. Lu will definitely feel it." Upon seeing this, the sister-in-law came to the rescue for Shen Ruoyan.

"Hey, my Ayan will get married in a blink of an eye." Master Shen sighed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. The spicy liquid slid down his throat, leaving a mellow aroma.

This process is like life. It felt very hard at first, but when I look back at those years, I feel very happy.
