Chapter 216: Choosing a Day for Opening
After the woman left, Qin Xiangnuan looked back and found that several women were standing there in a proper manner.
Qin Xiangnuan did not deny that her previous actions seemed to be intended to scare others, but she did not deliberately arrange this, but it just happened and she used it.
It is true that we don’t want to use workers who are likely to cause trouble, and it is also true that we don’t want the work atmosphere to be too dull.
"Don't worry." After giving someone a slap, one always has to give some sweet treats to appease them, and Qin Xiangnuan is no exception. "I won't fire someone for no reason."
"I can give you enough respect here." Qin Xiangnuan's lips were gentle, "I also hope that when you encounter something you don't understand, you can give each other a little trust."
The remaining women nodded repeatedly. It was hard to say whether they had listened to Qin Xiangnuan's words at this time, but they saw the silver that Qin Xiangnuan gave to the departing woman.
Giving so much money to people who have done nothing, wouldn't they get more if they stayed here and worked?
Qin Xiangnuan was not in a hurry to ask them for any guarantees. She had reserved enough time for this market to improve. Qin Xiangnuan was confident and patient.
"Let me continue what I was saying." Qin Xiangnuan had already led them to the entrance and pointed at the work clothes hanging there.
"This is what you need to do." Qin Xiangnuan reached out and took one.
Liu and Zou's workmanship wasn't the best, and their speed wasn't fast either. They only finished one piece in five days. Qin Xiangnuan estimated it and said to them, "For every piece you complete, I'll give you one ounce."
"Really?" The women couldn't believe it. They had just taken a look and saw that the clothes in their hands were roughly made and the styles were not complicated. Even if they only made one piece a month, they could still make one or two taels.
In this border area, people hardly handle money all year round, and their annual expenses do not exceed ten taels.
"Of course it's true." Qin Xiangnuan nodded calmly.
Uncle Zhang next to him widened his eyes.
But Qin Xiangnuan later said, "What you have in your hand is just a sample. You can't make it like this."
"No." Most of the women in the family sew their own clothes, and their handwork is nothing compared to that of Liu and Zou.
With so much silver, it's not too much for Qin Xiangnuan to ask for such a small amount.
"I'll be waiting for you at home at noon tomorrow, and we'll talk in detail then." After Qin Xiangnuan finished speaking, she asked them if they still had any doubts. If not, she let them all go.
Only then did Uncle Zhang have time to talk to Qin Xiangnuan.
"Third Miss, don't you know anything about our place?" Uncle Zhang said with a bitter face, feeling very distressed. "Do you know how much one tael of silver is?"
Qin Xiangnuan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, I understand."
Uncle Zhang opened his mouth wide, "You..."
It happened that Uncle Wang had just returned from seeing people off and met a few other people who were leaving happily. When he approached, he looked at Uncle Zhang's expression with confusion.
"Old man Wang, do you know what just happened..." Uncle Zhang stopped talking halfway through. He couldn't change Qin Xiangnuan's decision anyway.
Qin Xiangnuan is also a very thoughtful person. Uncle Zhang thought that maybe Qin Xiangnuan has other plans that he doesn't know about.
Uncle Wang was reluctant, and stopped talking halfway through. He felt very uncomfortable, so he grabbed Uncle Zhang who was about to leave and asked him more questions.
"Stop talking!" Uncle Zhang waved his hand, telling him not to bother him anymore.
Uncle Wang, confused, turned his attention to Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Uncle Wang, let me show you around your place, okay?"
After hearing this, Uncle Zhang shouted, "Let's go, let's go!"
He also did not forget to pull Uncle Wang away who was motionless.
Afterwards, Uncle Wang also became like Uncle Zhang before, looking at Qin Xiangnuan with pain and embarrassment, "Third Miss, to put it bluntly, we are just helping you look after a shabby place."
"How can I ask you to give me so much silver?" Uncle Wang was in a daze.
Uncle Zhang looked at Uncle Wang beside him and actually found it a little funny. With the previous preparation, when Uncle Zhang heard that Qin Xiangnuan was going to give them five taels each per month, his heart was only slightly moved.
He was not as shocked as Uncle Wang at the moment.
Qin Xiangnuan said to Uncle Wang, "As you should. I've just started here, and there are many things that need to be fixed. I'll have to trouble you two to run around, which will be very tiring."
"Hey, how can this be hard?" Uncle Zhang pretended to be calm and drew a circle in front of Qin Xiangnuan's eyes. "It's just here, not even an acre of land. How can you say it's hard?"
"Right!" Uncle Zhang said as he nudged Uncle Wang, who was still in shock, with his elbow.
"What's right?" Uncle Wang frowned. "What did you just say?"
"Hey." Uncle Zhang mocked the other party mercilessly, provoking a counterattack from Uncle Wang.
Qin Xiangnuan arranged everything that could be arranged today. She thought, why not just open the store tomorrow.
"No!" Qin Guang shook his head after hearing this. "Why are you so anxious?"
"Yes, cousin, no one should know about that place yet, right?" Qin Feng asked her with a raised eyebrow. "We're not sure if anyone would go there. What can we do if we open a shop?"
"There's nothing to do anyway." Qin Xiangnuan smiled. "Besides, we're not without people. Why not ask someone who's not on duty at the government office to come tomorrow?"
Qin Xiangnuan has made more than one deal with officials, and the other party has no hope of gaining any benefit from her.
At this moment the official sneezed.
"Sir, you still have to take care of your health. If you get sick, how will the people here survive?" The lawyer said with concern.
But it seemed as if every word pierced the officials' hearts, making them extremely angry.
"I think if I'm gone, that third lady, Qin Xiangnuan, can immediately take my place." The official said and started coughing.
"Is he really going to get sick?" The official was shocked. Although he had been guarding the border for many years, he was in good health and had not been sick for a long time.
"Why don't we see a doctor?" the lawyer whispered.
The official frowned and said, "Never mind, maybe it's just an illusion. Let's wait and see tomorrow."
The lawyer could only nod and take note of the matter.
"I think that Qin is my nemesis." The official sat down. "She's a woman, why doesn't she just settle down and find a good man to marry? Why does she have to get involved in so many things?"
"Is this something a woman like her should be concerned about?" It would have been better if the official didn't say anything, but once he mentioned Qin Xiangnuan, he started talking nonstop, starting from the moment she tricked him into signing an unequal contract with Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhang.
Speaking of the new market Qin Xiangnuan had built, "She even changed the name of the market. Isn't it still a market?"
The master nodded frequently, "You are right!"
