Chapter 237 Yan Yi Pavilion Opens!
Finally, Xu Yunyue rented a large courtyard in the town for the Xu family and gave twenty taels of silver to the Song family. After learning that the grandfather who sold her was dead, the hatred in her heart subsided a lot.
So two taels of silver were given to each of Old Lady Xu and the first wife.
Mrs. Xu was so happy looking at the large yard she had rented! She had never dreamed that she would be able to live in a large yard one day.
Seeing how generous Xu Yunyue was, Xu Lei and Li surrounded Xu Yunyue and kept praising her, their mouths full of envy. After all the praise, Xu Yunyue's vanity was satisfied, which was something she had wanted several times but didn't get from Xu Zhiyi.
She was happy and generous. Seeing that Li kept praising her hairpin, she gave the only silver hairpin on her head directly to Li.
Seeing this, Song wanted to stop it, but it was too late. After Li got the silver hairpin, she quickly stuffed it into her chest and held it tightly, refusing to let go.
Song couldn't help but secretly remind Xu Yunyue not to spend so much money on others and not to be so stupid.
Xu Yunyue waved her hand nonchalantly and told everyone in the Xu family directly that as long as she gave birth to the child, she would be the Wu family's equal wife and be on an equal footing with Mrs. Wu.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Xu family was stunned.
After Mrs. Xu realized what was happening, she knelt on the ground to thank her ancestors for their blessings: "Oh, our ancestors have blessed us. Smoke is finally coming out of our ancestral tomb! This is great news! From now on, our Xu family will be a wealthy family!"
Mrs. Li: "Yes, yes, Yunyue! You can't forget me, your aunt!"
Song: "Yunyue, don't stand anymore, sit down for a while, you are in good health now, don't get tired!"
Three days later, Xu Zhiyi's clothing shop was finally about to open. She recruited clerks to receive customers, and called Wang Xiaohe, Huang Shi, and two sweet-talking girls from Cuilin Village. She gave them a guaranteed salary of 600 wen a month, and the rest was commission.
For each order she takes, she can get a commission of 5% of the profit. Her shop is positioned as an upper-middle class shop, so she earns more, so when there are many orders, the commission will not be small.
Xu Zhiyi and the others helped the models who were going to walk the runway to put on their makeup, while Luo Jinqiu and other embroiderers helped them carefully put on the clothes they were going to show.
After everything is arranged, let them line up in front of the screen and wait to start.
"Everyone, today, I am opening Yanyi Pavilion. Yanyi Pavilion is a unique ready-made clothing shop. As long as you want, our shop can tailor a unique piece of clothing for you."
"To prevent other shops from imitating us, our shop guarantees to release at least five new styles of clothing every month, and each one is guaranteed to be unique."
"Today, we have made a total of 15 women's clothing and 5 men's clothing. We will show them to you one by one later."
The men’s style was decided later, but it wasn’t that complicated, so not much time was wasted.
"After everyone has looked at the clothes, if they find a style they like, please remember which number it is, and then they can go to the side to find out the price and pay a deposit to customize it. Within three days of opening, I will give a wooden sign to everyone who has ordered clothes."
"This wooden sign is very useful. When you come to the shop to order ready-made clothes in the future, you can bring the wooden sign here. You can spend two copper coins for one point. You can use it once after accumulating 3,000 points."
"It has two uses. One is that 3,000 points can be used to exchange for 50 coins. The other is that I can draw a separate clothing style for her."
"Now let me show you the new styles of our Yan Yi Pavilion." After Xu Zhiyi finished speaking, he clapped his hands. The sound of a piano rang out, and the first woman behind the screen walked over slowly, holding a round fan.
After everyone saw the clothes on the woman, they all started discussing, why...this clothes are different from the ones they have seen before!
Wow, after a few more models came out, everyone was pleasantly surprised.
“Wow, it’s so pretty!”
In the crowd, Xue Yinyin brought the first group of customers she brought for Xu Zhiyi. They originally came here just to give Xue Yinyin face, but as they watched each of them come out to display their clothes, they found that they were surprised and liked every style.
If you see a style you like, you will quietly remember it. After the display is over, those who want the clothes will rush over and queue up to place an order.
Xu Zhiyi was busy registering wooden tags for customers who had placed orders. To prevent fraud, they had to leave their names. The next time they came to consume, they would have to report the wooden tag number and their names would match before points could be recorded.
Lou Qianqian and her daughter helped to write down the style of clothing the customers wanted to order, while Wang Xiaohe, Huang and the two girls were left to greet the customers.
Several people worked together until the evening. The five girls that Xue Yinyin brought today were quite straightforward. Each of them ordered two styles, and most of the others just tried to order one style to see first.
Luo Jinqiu tapped the abacus, getting more and more excited, and said: "Zhiyi, today is not bad. We have a total of 32 people who have ordered clothes, a total of 46 clothes. I have received a deposit of 9 taels and 200 wen first."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi did a quick calculation in her mind. Her cheapest price was eight hundred coins, and the highest was three taels of silver. However, the deposit was uniformly two hundred coins per payment, which meant forty-six payments. Even if a compromise was made, there would be orders worth sixty or seventy taels of silver today!
After deducting labor and costs, there is still a profit of thirty taels of silver.
I guess the orders I received in the past few days are enough to handle a month's work! After the opening days, there will probably be fewer people coming to order clothes!
Unless this batch of orders is completed and the customers wear them, there will be another round of advertising.
So, it's no problem to make a profit of 100 taels this month! Hey, it's really easy to make money from rich ladies. As long as they like something, they won't hesitate to pay for it!
In the evening, Xu Zhiyi took a shower and lay on the bed. The one who came tonight was Shen Changan. Recently, he and Shen Wuyou didn’t know whether they had discussed it privately or had a tacit understanding. The two of them took turns to come over for two nights each.
"Madam, are you tired today? Let me massage your shoulders and waist."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi quickly lay down and said, "Changan, I've been holding a pen all day, my shoulders and hands are sore, you have to help me."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, my lady." After taking off his shoes, Shen Changan came up to the bed and sat next to Xu Zhiyi. He reached out to help her massage her shoulders. After massaging for half an hour, he grabbed her hand and gently rubbed her fingers.
"Madam, are you asleep?"
"Yeah, fell asleep!"
"Madam, can you answer me even if you are asleep?"
"Yeah, fell asleep!"
Shen Changan leaned over to look at Xu Zhiyi, and saw that she seemed to be really asleep. He got up and blew out the oil lamp, then hugged Xu Zhiyi and kissed her on the lips, then he hugged her and fell asleep with satisfaction.
