Chapter 278 Sewing Spring Clothes
Everyone lined up to go to those authentic shops.
Only a few impatient people who had never eaten authentic hot pot would go to Wang Er's shop.
For those who have never eaten hot pot, Wang Er's hot pot tastes good.
But for those who have eaten it, the taste is far worse than the authentic hot pot.
Wang Er's shop can only fool those who have never eaten it.
Even so, he made a lot of money.
Wang Er was feeling smug when he found that fewer and fewer people came. After
careful inquiry, he found that many people had the same idea as him and found gourmets to copy the recipe.
These gourmets have no moral bottom line and sell the same recipe to many people.
As a result, there are hot pot shops everywhere in Tongmen Pass.
Originally, this shop was counting on making money from new customers who had never tasted authentic hot pot, but now that there are shops everywhere, there are not enough new customers to share.
Every household’s business is not good, but those with authentic hot pot signs are flocking to customers and have no shortage of customers.
They are extremely regretful at this moment.
Wang Er asked his servants to stare at those shops and count.
Those shops have at least hundreds of customers every day.
Each customer spends one hundred coins, and thousands of taels can be sold in a day.
After deducting the cost, it will take only a few months to get back the investment.
Wang Er regretted it a lot, but it was too late to say anything.
If he wanted to buy the recipe at this time, he could only honestly follow the rules and choose a new location to open a shop.
All the investment now is in vain.
He made a bitter face and slapped himself hard twice.
Nowadays, there are hot pot shops everywhere in Tongmen Pass, and it is not easy to open another one.
He thought about it carefully, and finally bought the recipe and went to Qingtai Pass to open a shop in an orderly manner.
Qingtai is cold, and this hot hot pot will surely be welcomed by them.
While no one has opened a shop in Qingtai yet, he quickly chose a location.
Seeing that Wang Er closed the shop so decisively, others also bought the recipe and chose a new location.
In this way, Hui Niang and others made a lot of money.
This money is just enough for the soldiers to change into spring clothes.
With Qiu Xiangyuan's help, they looked for peasant women with good needlework to help the soldiers sew spring clothes.
When the peasant women learned that they were to sew spring clothes for the soldiers, they all said they didn't want any money.
"This money is not worth it. Our sons and husbands have also joined the army. Since these clothes are made for them, we can't take this money."
"Yes, Your Majesty saved our lives. How can we repay your kindness with hatred and ask for money?"
"That's right, it's just a few pieces of clothes that we have to sew. We can't take this money
." Qiu Xiangyuan and Gongsun Yue were both good at inciting people, and Qiu Xiangyuan was a close friend of the women. But at this time, they talked their mouths off, and these women were unwilling to ask for money.
If the officials of Dayun were here, they would certainly happily embezzle the money of the court.
But Qiu Xiangyuan, Gongsun Yue and others were all scholars who were dedicated to serving the people. How could they do such a thing? So they informed Gan Fanren of the current situation.
Since they were all women, Gan Fanren could not show up, so he had no choice but to let Hui Niang show up.
She looked at the dark faces and rough hands of the peasant women and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Sisters, the corrupt officials of Dayun oppress the people, drive up prices, and plunder the people's blood and sweat. We want to resist such a court, so we rebel."
"It's not just a temporary thing for you to make spring clothes, but also shoes, hats, summer clothes, autumn clothes, and winter clothes. Don't you want to pay every time?"
"Then aren't we also bullying the people? How is this different from the corrupt officials of Dayun?"
Gan Tian was very excited when she heard her mother's words.
Because of the hot pot shop business, some money has been earned during this period, but it is not easy to support tens of thousands of troops, and the money in hand is still relatively limited.
If Dad had followed the women's wishes and not given the money, it would not have affected Dad's reputation.
But Dad still insisted on giving the money under such circumstances.
Dad and Mom are really big-minded.
The women were very moved by Hui Niang's words, and they started to make spring clothes for the soldiers.
Their techniques may not be the best, but they sew very seriously.
Now that the situation inside the pass has just improved, it is difficult for ordinary people to find jobs, but now they have ready-made jobs to find them, how can they not cherish it.
Almost all the women in Tongmen Pass were making spring clothes for the soldiers.
They were not making armor, but just clothes for daily wear, so the material was not that particular.
The material for making clothes was the bed sheets that Gan Tian got from the system supermarket.
Even such material was something that many people had never seen before.
"It's great to join the army. Not only do you get food and money, but you also get new clothes to wear."
"That's right. I have five sons, three of them joined the army, leaving two to carry on the family line."
"Among the three, as long as one can make merit, he won't have to dig for food in the countryside anymore."
The women chatted and asked, "By the way, how many clothes did you make today?"
"I'm slow, so I only made one."
"I made three today and earned a hundred coins."
"My sister-in-law used to be an embroiderer in an embroidery shop. It was much harder than this, but she didn't earn as much as this."
Everyone suddenly looked forward to it.
It would be great if there were such jobs every day.
Everyone laughed and made the clothes in a few days. The soldiers put on their new clothes and smiled from ear to ear.
"I haven't worn new clothes for almost ten years. I didn't expect that I could wear new clothes after joining the army."
"The material is really good. It feels so comfortable. It doesn't look cheap at all."
"You young men are so lucky. We have been in the army for so many years, but we have never eaten so well and dressed so well."
"And there is so much money to be made."
The original Sun family soldiers looked at these new recruits with envy.
They are all soldiers, but why are they so pitiful, having to deal with the two Sun brothers.
These new recruits are happy and feel so lucky to be in the army. Even the training has become more motivated.
A new soldier who was ignorant of the world said: "We have been training for several months, and we don't know when we can fight a war."
An old soldier shook his head: "You, don't look forward to fighting. Fighting is not a good thing. It will kill people."
"What are you afraid of? Our Majesty is the messenger of the goddess. We have the protection of the gods. What are we afraid of?"
The new soldier smiled foolishly with his big teeth showing.
Gan Tian couldn't help sneezing.
She was a little worried. Recently, her legs have become stronger and she can walk a few steps, but she doesn't know why she can't speak.
She can only say a few words, which is very annoying.
She cried and shouted "Su" to the big tree in front of her.
"Su."
Hui Niang listened and couldn't help laughing.
No matter how mature Tian'er is, she is still a child.
