Chapter 359 Recruiting Talents
As soon as Shen Yueyao asked, Su Xueyi could probably guess what she was thinking.
So he took her hand and walked out of East Street, heading towards the streets in the center of the provincial government.
As Su Xueyi walked over there holding Shen Yueyao's hand, she also whispered to Shen Yueyao: "That street has the largest rouge and powder shop in the provincial capital."
After hearing this, Shen Yueyao paused, turned to look at Su Xueyi, and asked, "How do you know where to find rouge and powder?"
When Shen Yueyao asked questions, she pouted and looked unhappy.
Su Xueyi found it a little funny that she had the same expression as the little girl.
He explained softly, "Of course, it was a schoolmate who told me that. One of my classmates was so worried about his wife that he always wanted to get into the top three in every exam, just to get the exam bonus so he could buy rouge and powder for his wife. He said that there was the largest rouge and powder shop on Shixiang Street in the provincial capital, and they had the most complete range of products."
"I've been here since I came to the academy and haven't left yet. Why are you unhappy?"
Su Xueyi had a gentle look on her face from beginning to end, and she comforted Shen Yueyao in a soft voice.
It was as if Shen Yueyao's unhappiness was his fault.
Shen Yueyao blinked, feeling that the inexplicable jealousy she had just felt was a little strange.
But she also knew that it was because she cared about Su Xueyi very much, so she would think too much about the smallest things.
Of course she didn't doubt Su Xueyi.
I just couldn't help but want to get a little angry with him just now, wondering how he could know about the rouge and powder shop in the academy.
Shen Yueyao's clear eyes were filled with a soft and warm luster. She smiled and gently shook Su Xueyi's arm and said, "I'm not unhappy."
Su Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his Yao Niang would be angry or unhappy.
The two continued walking forward, and Shen Yueyao asked, "Did you feel that I was a little unreasonable just now?"
"How could that be? My Yao Niang is the best woman in the world and has the best temperament."
"Everyone has their own emotions. If you are unhappy or angry, you can vent to me. As long as you don't keep it in your heart and don't sulk or be unhappy by yourself, it's fine."
Su Xueyi was afraid that if Shen Yueyao was holding something in her heart or was angry, she might get sick from it.
Shen Yueyao felt a sour and swollen feeling in her heart when she heard these words.
He is really nice and accepting of everything about her.
Shen Yueyao took a deep breath, suppressed the emotion, and said softly: "No, I will be very happy if you stay with me."
"I won't get angry, and I won't hold it in."
Su Xueyi thought that in this case, he should spend more time with his wife.
Fortunately, I took leave early this time and went home, so I could spend more time with Yao Niang and my two children.
And mom, it’s cold now, and I don’t know how she’s feeling.
Although I know that Yao Niang will take good care of her mother, I still can't help but miss her.
The two of them walked and talked.
After an incense stick of time (half an hour), they arrived at Shixiang Street.
Some of the shops here are large and relatively high-end shops.
There were mostly horse-drawn carriages parked in front of the shops, carrying ladies and young ladies who came to shop, accompanied by maids and nannies.
People like Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi coming here are a bit special.
Although the two men did not bring any maids, the shopkeeper was shocked when he saw their clothes.
That’s the newest down jacket on the market.
And that scarf is also a new scarf on the market.
The shopkeeper could tell at a glance that these two men were extraordinary in appearance and bearing, and he even believed that they were of noble birth.
Otherwise, how could two people wear such hard-to-buy down jackets?
Now that it's freezing cold, down jackets and woolen scarves are in great demand.
It’s not something you can buy just by having money and status, you also need channels.
And the lipstick on this woman's lips is also the latest lipstick color. Her shop is the largest rouge and powder shop in the provincial capital, and she only bought ten of these lipsticks, and they were all snapped up by the wives and daughters of officials.
It can be seen that this person's identity is not ordinary.
So the shopkeeper came forward with a smile on his face and said, "My two guests, what would you like to see and buy?"
Shen Yueyao said: "Shopkeeper, just be busy, I'll take a look."
Although Shen Yueyao said so, the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect it. He smiled and stopped beside her and said, "Sir, if you need my help, just give me a shout and I will come right over."
"good."
Shen Yueyao looked at the shopkeeper's attitude and was reminded of the time when her rouge and powder shop was ridiculed and discriminated against in the capital city.
This made her feel quite emotional.
No wonder this store has become the largest rouge and powder shop in the provincial capital. Its attitude alone is different.
Shen Yueyao observed quietly and found that this person had a very good attitude towards every customer.
Even when facing maids, nannies and ordinary women, her attitude was the same.
He is a capable person.
Shen Yueyao has an idea of poaching talents.
But she also wants to train more store managers who are eloquent.
If she opens clothing stores in various places in the future, capable store managers will be able to play a role.
Now the business of garment shops in the commercial streets of the town and the village is still very good.
Shen Yueyao took a look and found that it was indeed a rouge and powder shop. It had a complete range of items, including some rouge and powder for makeup.
But compared with the technological age, it is still too simple.
Shen Yueyao picked up a box of rouge and powder and looked at it.
As if wanting to know the price, the shopkeeper came up to Shen Yueyao at some point and whispered, "Young lady, this box is ninety-nine taels of silver."
Forehead……
Hearing this price, Shen Yueyao's mouth twitched.
However, it is obvious that the skin care and cosmetics industry is very profitable, because there are always many women who love beauty in any era.
Especially the ladies and daughters of some wealthy families have nothing to do in the family all day long and just tinker with rouge and powder.
“Is this the best?”
"No, this one is just medium-quality. This box is the best in our store and costs two hundred and eighty taels of silver."
"If we get this into the capital, we'll find rouge and powder that cost over a thousand taels, which are better than this."
Shen Yueyao knew that prices in the capital were high.
Shen Yueyao smiled and asked some more questions, and the shopkeeper patiently explained them.
Shen Yueyao nodded in her heart and said, "As a male shopkeeper, you know a lot about rouge and powder."
When they spoke just now, Shen Yueyao also knew that this man's surname was Fan, and everyone called him Shopkeeper Fan.
He didn't get angry when Shen Yueyao said this, but smiled and said, "I used to be a country boy. Later, there was a famine and I couldn't eat enough, so I ran here. Because I'm good at observing and learning, I know a lot about these things."
"I followed my boss and expanded the shop in the same way."
Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Fan straightened his back.
After a simple conversation, Shen Yueyao realized that this person was smart and clever.
Shen Yueyao asked about the shower gel, "How is this thing selling?"
This is what Shen Yueyao launched in the workshop.
It has just been on the market for a short time, so Shen Yueyao is still unclear about its specific effects.
The shopkeeper quickly said, "To answer your question, young lady, the ladies all like this shower gel. They think the fragrance is light and pleasant, much better than the spices of the time, and the price is much cheaper than the spices."
At this time, a woman dressed like a nouveau riche came down from upstairs.
She watched Shopkeeper Fan talking to Shen Yueyao and scolded him dissatisfiedly, "Fan Tie, what are you doing? Didn't you see Madam Liu and Miss Zi were looking at Rouge? You're just wasting your time by not entertaining them properly."
The woman directly scolded Manager Fan and looked dissatisfied with him.
Shopkeeper Fan smiled and was not angry. He hurried over to explain and then went to entertain the lady.
Shen Yueyao took a look, and after roughly understanding the market conditions and prices, she prepared to go with Su Xueyi.
Buying these things is no problem for her. The key is that she has lived in the technological age and naturally knows which cosmetics are the most complete and good ones.
The things in this store are still very ordinary to Shen Yueyao.
Unexpectedly, the woman said, "Fan Tie, look at who you are entertaining. That person didn't even bring a maid or nanny with him. He walked around but didn't buy anything, and yet you neglected other distinguished guests. If you do this again next time, I will catch you and tell the master to kick you out."
"If it weren't for the master, you would still be the shopkeeper. You should be grateful and do your job well..."
The shopkeeper Fan bent down and nodded repeatedly.
Shopkeeper Fan looked to be in his twenties, but he was extremely experienced and didn't get angry even when the woman scolded him.
Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao worriedly and asked, "Are you angry?"
Su Xueyi felt very guilty. If the Marquis' Mansion was still doing well, he would never let Yao Niang suffer such discrimination and grievance.
Shen Yueyao didn't care.
"I'm not angry, I think it's a bit interesting."
Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi then went to visit other shops.
They also found a clothing store that was similar to the one she had in town, but the styles and designs of the clothes were a bit old and could not compare to hers.
But even so, the business of this clothing store is still pretty good because the clothes imitate the styles she designed before and the sizes are different according to sizes.
There were also some bags that were imitation styles, but when Shen Yueyao took a look, she found that both the workmanship and the styles were different from the bags produced by her embroidery workshop.
So Shen Yueyao just took a look and came out.
Su Xueyi was a little worried about Shen Yueyao, "Yao Niang, those clothes..."
Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao in silence, not knowing how to comfort her.
Shen Yueyao smiled and comforted Su Xueyi, saying, "From the day I designed the clothes, I guessed that they would be imitated."
"But it doesn't matter. People still have little brand awareness and little understanding of product comparisons. Only over time will people recognize a brand and know which store has good and original products."
Now that Shen Yueyao mentioned originality, Su Xueyi could understand what she meant.
"It's just like the wonton shops we eat at. There are so many of them, and no one knows which one is the best. But why do they all say the wontons at our shop are delicious? They all praise it and go there whenever they want to eat. It's because it's been around for a long time, and the quality is there, so everyone recognizes this time-honored brand."
Shen Yueyao feels that as time goes by, everyone will realize what clothes are good and what styles and quality are good.
We are not stupid, you can see it by comparison.
And when she was walking on the street, she saw some people wearing clothes that seemed to be the clothes produced by her embroidery workshop.
Just now in the rouge and powder shop, there was a slightly plump woman wearing the slimming clothes designed by her.
Su Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief and gently touched Shen Yueyao’s hair.
His Yao Niang has great wisdom in her heart.
As it was getting late, some shops on this street began to close one after another.
Shen Yueyao pulled Su Xueyi to a place not far from the rouge and powder shop.
When the shopkeeper closed the door and prepared to go back.
Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi appeared.
Shopkeeper Fan was surprised and quickly bowed, "Sir, Madam."
Shen Yueyao said: "I think you are a talented person. Have you ever thought about working somewhere else and leaving this store?"
Shopkeeper Fan was stunned, but he was a smart man and immediately understood what the two people in front of him meant. He smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, my boss has been very kind to me. It was with the boss's financial support that the shop was able to open up little by little. I cannot let him down."
Shen Yueyao said: "You are sincere, but I think that woman is a mean person."
Shopkeeper Fan said, "It's nothing for a servant to be criticized by his master."
In fact, the most important thing is that he has someone he cares about in the boss's house.
Shen Yueyao observed for a while, and Su Xueyi shook her head at Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao understood and said, "That's fine, but if you have nowhere to go one day, you can come to the Su family in Liuhe Village, Beiliu Town to find us, and I will arrange something for you to do."
"You have good abilities, but it's a shame that you only manage one store."
Shen Yueyao's business is developing rapidly now, both in her shop and workshop, and it is a time when she needs talented people.
She felt that Shopkeeper Fan had some abilities, so she wanted to recruit him to work in her own shop.
Maybe it would be nice to be a manager and help look after a few stores.
And after observing in the store, she found that this person also knew how to keep accounts.
Shopkeeper Fan was stunned. Although he didn't quite understand, he remembered it.
"Thank you, sir and madam."
…
Afterwards, Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi went back.
The two of them walked outside for half the afternoon, which was quite a long time. Although they were wearing many clothes, the wind outside was really biting.
After returning to the dormitory, Su Xueyi hurriedly boiled water and poured it for Shen Yueyao to drink.
"Warm your hands first."
Then Su Xue poured water for Shen Yueyao to wash her feet and said, “Soak your feet in hot water, your body will warm up quickly.”
Seeing that Su Xueyi was going to take care of her and wash her feet like this, Shen Yueyao hurriedly said, "I can just soak my feet myself."
How could she let Su Xueyi do this for her?
But I was touched in my heart.
Su Xueyi sighed lightly and did not insist.
But the two of them were going home the next day.
Su Xueyi began to pack her things.
Shen Yueyao said: "You should take a break too, I will pack these things up in a while."
"It's okay, just soak your feet and rest, I'll clean up."
"If there's anything I've missed, just tell me."
Su Xueyi packed her things into the box, folded the clothes neatly, and placed everything neatly.
Shen Yueyao found it pleasing to the eye watching from the side.
"Mom and the others will be very happy that you're coming home this time. In fact, although Mom doesn't say it, I know she misses you."
Perhaps because Madam Meng was carefully brought up as a legitimate daughter and later became the wife of a marquis, she developed some habits, that is, she is not likely to speak out if she has something on her mind.
Even though she missed Su Xueyi, she didn't say it.
Especially when it’s cold and snowy.
But Shen Yueyao was careful and could see it.
Moreover, she has two children of her own, so she can understand the feelings of being a mother.
Even when it snowed, even if there was a heated kang and a stove at home, she was still worried that her eldest and second children would be cold.
Su Xueyi said, "I'll be home soon."
Shen Yueyao actually wanted to arrange for someone to go to the capital early to buy the house and prepare all the things.
In this way, when Su Xueyi goes to the capital to take the Spring Examination in the early spring, she will have a place to stay.
She now has enough money to buy a house in a good location in the capital.
She thought she could buy a house with two courtyards first, which would be big enough for the whole family to live in.
You can buy a bigger house later.
I don’t know if the former Su family mansion is still there.
