Chapter 47: Spring Breeze Tower
An hour later, Pei Yian took Ji Zhisui out of the embroidery workshop. Shopkeeper Wu couldn't hide the smile on his face.
A clerk asked curiously, "Boss, is there any good news? Why are you so happy?"
"Of course there is. The one in front is Mr. An, who runs a merchant ship. I made a big deal with him. He came to our embroidery workshop and ordered 500 pieces of cloth." Manager Wu said happily.
"Very good!"
"Today is a great day. A big customer has come."
"Congratulations, shopkeeper! Congratulations, shopkeeper!"
…
Shopkeeper Wu observed everyone. They all had happy smiles on their faces, as if they were really happy, and no one could find any fault with them.
After arriving home, Pei Yian placed a bundle in front of Pei, "Mother, these are the needlework prepared by Shopkeeper Wu. You should stay home and embroider the longevity painting during this period. Don't go out."
"By the way, this is the deposit given by Manager Wu." Pei Yian took out one or two taels of silver and placed it in front of Pei.
Pei looked at the ounce of silver in front of her with joy, and picked it up carefully to have a look. This was the silver she had earned herself!
Pei looked at it for a long time, then handed the tael of silver to Ji Zhisui, her voice cheerful and confident, "Sui Niang, this is the money I earned, here you go."
Ji Zhisui always felt that this scene looked familiar, as if someone had done the same thing one night and given him money.
"Mom, keep this for yourself." This was the first small sum of money Pei earned with her own hands, and Ji Zhisui was happy for her.
"No need, I have money. If you don't want this money, I'll give it to my family." Pei had no use for the money. She didn't dare to go out now, for fear of being troubled by the people from Zhang's embroidery workshop. She also had the wages given by Sui Niang in her hand.
Since Pei said so, Ji Zhisui put the 100 taels of silver into the piggy bank.
During the next few days of setting up the stall, Pei Yian had to help Manager Wu catch mice, and it was Old Madam Pei who took his place at the stall.
Pei Yian was listening to books and drinking tea in the teahouse. He is now a wealthy businessman who purchases large quantities of cloth.
He blew gently on the tea in front of him, and the calm water surface began to ripple with his movement.
I've followed you for so long, it's time to come out.
At this moment, a pair of hands reached out and knocked on the table, "Master An, can we talk?"
Pei Yian raised his eyes and saw a young man wearing a black brocade robe and with a slightly plump figure standing in front of him.
This man still had a touch of elegance, and was completely different from the man who threatened Pei that day.
It seems that everyone in Zhang's Embroidery Workshop is very smart. Some are in the open, while others are in the dark. I'm afraid the person behind this is not simple either.
He just glanced at Zhang Xuan, then looked away and continued to drink tea calmly.
Even though he was ignored, Zhang Xuan was not angry. Rich people are like this. They are all arrogant and look down on everyone.
"I have a large amount of cloth on hand. The fabrics are exquisite and the prices are low. Master An is really not interested?"
Mentioning this, Pei Yian asked with interest in his eyes: "What do you mean by this?"
Henry Zhang looked around and said, "This is not a good place to talk."
Pei Yian understood what he meant and took his people directly to the superior box.
"What did you mean by what you said before? If you have any business to discuss with me, come and talk to me." Pei Yian said straight to the point, obviously taking it to heart.
"I'm from Zhang's Embroidery Workshop. I heard that Wu's Embroidery Workshop charges 500 coins for a piece of cloth, but here we only charge 450 coins per piece, which is 50 coins less. Mr. An can consider purchasing from us." Zhang Xuan tried his best to sell.
This piece of cloth can save fifty cents, and five hundred pieces is not a small amount. He doesn't believe that anyone would not be tempted.
Pei Yian's face didn't show much emotion, nor did he show the joy that Zhang Xuan expected.
"What if your cloth is not of good quality? Then I will lose money."
"Sir, you can rest assured. The fabrics in our embroidery workshop are the same as those in Wu's. There will definitely not be any quality issues."
"Then why are you offering such a great discount? Could it be that these things are of unknown origin?" Pei Yian asked casually.
The smile on Henry Zhang's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal, "This... Young Master, please don't talk nonsense. These are all from formal channels. The reason why our family is cheap is that we want to make friends with you, Young Master An, so that you can make more money."
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so how can I know the situation in your embroidery workshop?" Although Pei Yian was a little tempted, there was still a look of suspicion in his eyes.
He portrayed the role of a cautious businessman who was seeking profit to the fullest. Coupled with his demeanor and the information he had collected, Zhang Xuan had no doubts and brought Pei Yian directly to Zhang's Embroidery Workshop.
When the waiter saw Zhang Xuan, he respectfully called him "Deputy Manager".
"So you're the deputy manager of Zhang's Embroidery Shop. No wonder your aura is different from others."
The two chatted all the way, and Pei Yian almost figured out this man's personality. He was very vain and loved to hear compliments.
"Thank you so much." Zhang Xuan smiled broadly, and it was obvious that these words touched his heart.
Everything looked normal inside and out at Zhang's Embroidery Workshop, no different from any other ordinary embroidery workshop. At least on the surface, it looked like a normal embroidery workshop.
Pei Yian followed the people to the back warehouse, where there were many cloths placed. He went forward and touched them. The texture of the fabrics was indeed fine. It could be said that it was no different from those from Wu's Embroidery Workshop.
"How is it? Is everything okay?" Zhang Xuan was not afraid at all.
Pei Yian looked around and saw that the cloths were neatly stacked, but the laces used to tie the silk had a word "口" embroidered on the corners.
The ties used to tie the cloth are black, and the embroidered words are also black. Even with the naked eye, you can't see much difference.
You can only find this mark after touching it.
What is the connection between this mark and Zhang’s Embroidery Workshop?
He collected his thoughts and looked at other cloths. Sure enough, those black laces all had this logo on them.
Pei Yian turned around as if nothing had happened, nodded to Henry Zhang and said, "No problem, I am very satisfied with these cloths."
"So, Master An is going to order these pieces of cloth?"
"Of course, your prices are so much lower than Wu's, I can make more money. Naturally, I have to do this business with you!"
"Okay, okay, Master An is really a straightforward person! I'm determined to make you my friend! Come on, I'll take you out for a drink."
Zhang Xuan was very happy to have won a large order from the Wu family. He put his arm around Pei Yian's shoulders and the two of them left like brothers.
A hint of disgust flashed across Pei Yian's eyes. He didn't like being touched by strangers, so he kept a distance from them without making a sound.
He followed Zhang Xuan all the way and finally stopped at a place.
The plaque reads "Chunfeng Tower". Outside, one can faintly hear the laughter of men and women, and the scent of cosmetics lingers in the air.
Pei Yian understood instantly that this was not an ordinary restaurant!
