Chapter 387 Adding fuel to the fire

Zhang Juexia and Manager Yao are enjoying their meal!

The young man rushed in, sweating profusely. "Boss, I just heard them say that the Xiucai Embroidery Shop was smashed?"

Zhang Juexia accidentally dropped the pig's trotter in his hand to the ground.

Shopkeeper Yao was not much better off. He lost his grip on the chopsticks and they fell onto the table.

The young man looked at them with disdain, "Boss, is it really that serious? It's just that the scholar's embroidery workshop was smashed.

If you ask me, their embroidery workshop should have been destroyed long ago."

Shopkeeper Yao glared at the waiter and said in feigned anger, "Are you dissatisfied with your wages this month? Why are you talking so much nonsense? Tell me what's going on."

When he heard that his wages would be deducted, the young man immediately became obedient and told the whole story of Xiucai Embroidery Workshop.

Zhang Juexia had already let go of the fallen pig's trotter and was busy gnawing on the bone. After hearing what the waiter said, "Manager Zhou is too fast!"

Shopkeeper Yao waved his hand and sent the clerk away. "It seems that Shopkeeper Zhou really wants to close the deal. Let's close this deal!"

"Then let's wait for good news! If Manager Zhou asks us out, just say you're busy."

"Understood."

Shopkeeper Yao remembered something and put down his chopsticks. "Auntie Wang from your workshop should have told you!"

"What's going on?"

"Is it about the embroiderer at the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop?"

"I said it!"

"If you ask me, they didn't choose us in the first place, so let's just not get involved in this matter."

"That's what I was planning. Are you familiar with them?"

"There are a few acquaintances. Fang Lan had promised them a lot, and they believed it.

A few people came to me and wanted to come to my Yaoji Cloth Shop, but I told them directly that my shop was too small to accommodate them.

Liu Hong and Fang Lan are such bastards. I don't want to have anything to do with them until I completely break up with them.

I tell you, you are not allowed to do that."

"I know! But, they are too patient. They didn't get paid, so they just made a scene."

Shopkeeper Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Juexia, now that you mention it, I think of someone. When she comes to see me again, I will tell her this.

We need to add fuel to the fire in the front and back yards."

The two of them talked about some private things. Zhang Juexia could no longer open his eyes and insisted on going home to sleep.

"Look at you, you're such a loser! How much wine did you drink? And it's made you look like this!"

"Sister, I woke up earlier than the chickens this morning!"

"Don't call me Big Sister. According to seniority, you should call me Auntie."

"Come on, I'll just call you Manager Yao! It's easier to pronounce."

"Let's go! Stop bothering me here."

Zhang Juexia was pushed out of the Yao family's gate like this.

But when she walked to the shop in front, she was dumbfounded.

There were crowds of people standing in front of her Shengxia Embroidery Workshop and Yaoji Cloth Shop.

The question is, are you here to buy something or to sell embroidery?

Zhang Juexia didn't give up, so he pulled another person over and asked, "The prices of the things sold in this embroidery shop haven't increased, so why are you lining up to buy them?"

"We're happy to! Today we know the true faces of the owner and manager of Xiucai Embroidery Workshop, and we just want to support Shengxia Embroidery Workshop."

"right!"

Someone in the crowd pushed Zhang Juexia and said, "Who are you? Why do you care so much? If you want to buy something, go to the back and queue up."

Zhang Juexia wanted to explain, but before she could open her mouth, she was chased to the back.

Zhang Juexia was really depressed. She wanted to persuade everyone to consume rationally, but before she could say anything, she had such a miserable ending.

Well, money can’t buy my willingness, and she really can’t say much.

Go home, it’s best to go home and sleep.

Before she had walked ten meters away, she heard Ye Beixiu calling her from behind, "Madam, wait a minute, Madam!"

Zhang Juexia turned around and saw Ye Beixiu walking towards him with more than ten people in great momentum.

"Wow, this shop is doing brisk business!"

Li Dong winked at Zhang Juexia, signaling her not to speak for the time being.

"My dear shopkeepers, this is the Shengxia Embroidery Workshop that we mentioned when we were drinking just now. How is it?

I didn’t lie to you guys, did I?

One of the slightly plump shopkeepers nodded in agreement, "Shopkeeper Li, you are such a straightforward person.

We trust you! But how about the things from Shengxia Embroidery Workshop?"

Ye Beixiu lowered his head and told Zhang Juexia, "This shopkeeper's surname is Gao. He said his ancestors started out in business, and they have a very large business in Qingling City."

Zhang Juexia nodded to indicate that he understood.

She whispered to Ye Beixiu, "Go tell Brother Li that these people can just talk a few words outside and let them into the shop for tea.

Let Li Xi accompany you, and you and Brother Li will come to the backyard to find me and tell me the details."

Ye Beixiu said he knew what to do. He walked to Li Dong and whispered a few words to him.

Li Dong smiled and bowed, "Everyone, Shengxia Embroidery Workshop has prepared tea. How about you all go in and talk?"

"Okay, that's perfect. How about we go see what's inside?"

More than a dozen people entered Shengxia Embroidery Workshop in a mighty procession. The people queuing at the door could see them clearly, and some people spoke in a low voice.

"Shengxia Embroidery Workshop is really impressive. Look at what these people are wearing, all in silk and satin. It's obvious they are of high status."

"I guess these should be the big customers of Shengxia Embroidery Workshop. I have a distant niece who works at Shengxia Embroidery Workshop. I heard her say that the embroidery works she made were all made of the best materials.

A small purse costs several taels of silver, which is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."

"I heard that the wages paid to the embroiderers at Shengxia Embroidery Workshop are quite high, and their food is also good. Is that true?"

"It's true. Apprentices get paid, and as for food, they have meat every meal."

"Oh my god, ordinary people like us don't dare to have meat for every meal!

No, after I go back, I have to let my daughter leave the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop and come to work at the Shengxia Embroidery Workshop."

"Mrs. Feng, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but tell me about your vision. You mention the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop in front of us every day.

You used to be pessimistic about Shengxia Embroidery Workshop."

"This is a different time, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me anymore.

My daughter entered the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop with her skills, and she's been there for several months now, and she hasn't earned a penny yet!"

Everyone sighed again, "You just endure it without getting paid."

Mrs. Feng shook her head helplessly. "What else can I do? My daughter said, and their boss also said, that their wages will be paid sooner or later, so let them work hard."

"Mrs. Feng, I'm not saying anything harsh about you, but you're usually very capable, so why are you so cowardly when it comes to real things?

Your daughter won't pay you, why don't you go to her shop and make a scene?"
