Chapter 25 Saving People on the Street
The popularity of Yueyanfang surprised Yunli. She didn't expect that the popularity would continue for more than ten days. Every day, there was a constant stream of customers coming to the store. Some girls bought skin care products on the opening day and used them according to the instructions. When they woke up the next day, they found that their skin had changed visibly. It was plump, smooth and delicate. Some elderly ladies also found that the wrinkles on their faces were reduced after using it, making them feel like they had returned to their youth.
The high-end skin care products costing 10,000 taels a set made them feel that it was worth the money, so they didn't care about the money and wanted to order more.
Some people even tried to be clever and went to the store for several days to get trial packs, so that the shopkeeper Qi would recognize them and kick them out.
The shop is gradually getting back on track. Since the opening of Yueyanfang, Baizhi and Lanmei have been welcoming customers in the shop every day. They have to teach the three maids they bought from Yafang everything from makeup to facial care, as well as product explanation and sales, until they can completely take over the shop independently.
That day, Yunli came to the courtyard in the east of the city. It was Raspberry who told her that the growth that she and five embroiderers had sewn together was ready, and asked her to come over for inspection.
Time was too slow. They were given four design drawings in total, and it took them nearly twenty days to complete them. This speed was definitely not enough. The Caizhige store could not be opened.
So she asked Yingtao to buy some maids who were good at needlework in the workshop. She relaxed the age limit. If the embroidery skills were good, it didn't matter if they were ladies in their forties or fifties. These ladies were experienced and might be faster than these young maids.
Yingtao bought her twenty embroidery girls. Now she no longer has to worry about living in the yard.
So she bought another house in the south of the city and let all 25 embroiderers live there, and handed them over to Raspberry to manage.
In the yard, Yunli stared at the five pieces of clothing made by the embroiderers and fell into deep thought.
The embroidery skills of these embroiderers are impeccable. The embroidery patterns are exquisite and the workmanship is smooth. Overall, it is a beautiful and exquisite dress. However, this dress always makes her feel like something is missing.
It is beautiful, but it lacks novelty!
And if it were to become a hit once it hit the market, it would be extremely easy for other companies to copy it, and her design drawings would then become public...
Customers don’t care whether it’s exclusive or a knockoff. As long as it’s exactly the same, has a high cost-effectiveness and a low price, it will be sought after.
Wouldn't she have worked in vain and made wedding clothes for others? This is not what she wants.
She went into a side room, closed the door, and asked Cherry to guard outside the door while she slipped into the space.
She planned to look for it on supermarket shelves, something that others could not replicate or replace, and put on clothes. This way, she would be the only one who could have it, and Caizhige would be able to gain a foothold in the capital.
Unique design and unique customization can also be sought after by young ladies from aristocratic families.
Unexpectedly, she actually found accessories for handmade clothes, beaded lace, super shiny glass, acrylic and crystal imitation bricks in various styles and colors...
There are also various exquisite laces, silk threads in thousands of colors, and silk threads with colorful sequins. Yunli thinks that it would be so beautiful to wear a skirt made of this kind of silk thread, so sparkling!
These little things can really solve the problem of being imitated. Don’t look at these inconspicuous little sequins, lace and so on. Ancient crafts can’t make them. Thousands of colors of silk threads are difficult to replicate with ancient washing and dyeing technology.
There are also those imitation bricks and stones that can achieve the decorative effect of real gems. Although there were real gems in ancient times, they were very expensive! Otherwise, who would refuse to inlay diamonds on clothes?
I'll go back in the evening and prepare the accessories and silk threads for making clothes. I'll ask Cherry and the others to deliver them to the embroiderers tomorrow. She wants to make all the cloth in stock into ready-made clothes, turning waste into treasure!
He also instructed the original cloth shop owner Wang to go south to Jiangnan, negotiate a cooperation with the cloth shops in Jiangnan, and bring back the most fashionable cloth in Jiangnan.
…
It was still early, and she planned to go back and teach Strawberry how to cook a few dishes. It was just in time for dinner. She had been missing sweet and sour spareribs, pickled fish, spicy hot pot, hot and sour noodles, hot pot, barbecue, fried chicken... She couldn't bear to think about it. Her mouth was watering just thinking about it.
In order to return quickly, she asked the guards driving the carriage to take a shortcut. The carriage went into the alley and suddenly stopped at an intersection.
"Hey, why did you stop, miss?"
Cherry had just opened the curtain when the guard driving the carriage said, "Miss, there is a carriage blocking the road ahead."
"I'll go take a look," Cherry bent down and jumped off the carriage
After a while, Cherry came back and said, "Miss, there is a pregnant woman in the carriage ahead. She seems to be bleeding. One of her maids has gone to get a doctor."
Yun Li heard that she was pregnant and she was bleeding? Her brows were furrowed. Maybe she was pregnant now, so she got off the carriage and went to have a look. She had not changed her face when she went to the east courtyard today. Those maids and guards did not recognize the third lady of the Xiangfu Mansion. She had also sent the twelve guards of Yemei out to perform tasks.
So she casually took a veil from the space and covered herself with it. She walked quickly towards the carriage at the intersection and saw the woman inside was pale and unconscious lying on the carriage. Her belly was frighteningly big. The maid beside her was crying anxiously.
Yun Li frowned: "Stop crying! Can crying solve the problem? What happened?"
Seeing Yun Li's elegant attire and noble demeanor, the maid hurriedly said, "Miss, my wife went to burn incense today. On the way back, the horse ran too fast and the driver lost control of the carriage. The carriage crashed into a wall, frightening my wife. The driver ran away for fear of an accident. A maid has already gone to get a doctor."
Yun Li felt her pulse and listened to her finish: "Is your wife about to give birth?"
The woman's pulse showed she was pregnant with twins! And the due date was within a few days. Logically, she should be staying home to wait for the birth. Why was she running around...
The maid nodded quickly: "The doctor said that the lady will give birth in the next few days, but it is not easy to give birth to twins. The old lady of the mansion asked the lady to go to Hanshan Temple to burn incense to ensure the safe birth of the fetus in her belly."
"If you don't want your wife to get into trouble, then go out! Stand guard outside the carriage!"
The maid hesitated for a moment and looked at Yunli, "Miss, do you know medicine?"
Yun Li nodded. "Yes, the carriage is small and the air is not circulating. She will have trouble breathing!"
After hearing this, the maid saluted Yun Li and said, "Thank you for your help, young lady. I will be out right away!"
She sent the maid away because she wanted to wake the lady up. Her condition was very serious and there was poison in her body. If she didn't have a caesarian section within three days, she would probably die. Fortunately, the poison in her body had only been exposed in the past few days, and the two fetuses in her belly were already full-term and had not absorbed much of the toxin. If the poisoning had lasted longer, even the immortals would not be able to save the lives of the mother and her two children!
