Without Yang Qiaoqiao saying it outright, Luo Yingzi already understood what Yang Qiaoqiao meant. "Sister Qiaoqiao, did my mother-in-law ask you to help me ask Xu Yizhou about having a child?"
Yang Qiaoqiao nodded, "They don't necessarily want to rush you to have a baby right away. They're mainly worried that your lack of pregnancy might be due to health issues. They're afraid that since you're young, you might be embarrassed to seek treatment if you have health problems."
Luo Yingzi's face flushed red, and she said softly, "We're both healthy, and we received family planning supplies."
Yang Qiaoqiao understood.
She suggested that Luo Yingzi talk to her elders about this issue and share her own plans with them to avoid worrying them.
Then she distributed the Haicheng specialties she brought back to the store staff.
In this day and age, White Rabbit candy from Haicheng is very popular all over the country.
In addition to bringing a bag of White Rabbit milk candy for each of the store's employees, Yang Qiaoqiao also brought a lot of dried seafood for Luo Yingzi, Master Su, Master Luo, and Wu Lanhua.
Wu Lanhua is indeed very talented in tailoring and embroidery. She was a self-taught craftswoman before, but after only three months of learning from Master Su and Master Wu, she is already able to work independently.
After distributing the gifts, Yang Qiaoqiao approached Master Su and said, "Master Su, I'd like to discuss something with you."
Su Wenxiu had a talent for embroidery, but in the countryside, it was of no use except for sewing clothes for her grandchildren.
In addition, because she only knew how to embroider and wasn't very good at farm work, she was often gossiped about by her daughter-in-law at home.
But now Yang Qiaoqiao gives her a monthly salary of more than 200 yuan, which makes her stand tall. Now her daughters-in-law all wish they could treat her like royalty.
She felt incredibly grateful to Yang Qiaoqiao.
Upon hearing Yang Qiaoqiao's words, she immediately said, "Qiaoqiao, you speak."
Yang Qiaoqiao mentioned her need for a large number of embroiderers and expressed her desire for Master Su to help teach students and cultivate more embroidery talents.
Of course, if Master Su were willing, his salary would definitely not be what it is now; she directly raised Master Su's salary to five hundred yuan.
When Su Wenxiu heard this number, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
Nowadays, the regular employees in state-owned factories earn only a little over one hundred yuan a month.
Although state-owned factories offer benefits, even with the best benefits, you still can't earn more than 500 yuan a month!
Yang Qiaoqiao knew that in the old society, crafts like Shu embroidery were passed down through generations and were generally not taught to outsiders. So after saying that, she added, "Master Su, if there are any rules or inconveniences regarding accepting apprentices, you don't have to force yourself."
Su Wenxiu then came to her senses and quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, you can teach me, you can teach me. We're just embroidering a flower, why are there so many rules?"
So, after the New Year, you can hand over the people you want to teach to me, and I'll teach them all.
But Qiaoqiao, I have something to say first.
As you know, although what we do is just a matter of a few needles and a few strands of thread, it's not easy to learn. People who used to work in this line of work all started learning from a young age.
Those who lack talent and are unwilling to work hard may not necessarily become very skilled at embroidery even after studying for more than ten years.
Therefore, when I mentor apprentices, I can only guide them in; the rest is up to them. I can't guarantee how well they'll learn. But rest assured, I will teach them diligently and without holding anything back.
Yang Qiaoqiao knew all of what Master Su had said.
She never imagined that everyone she recruited would have Wu Lanhua's talent and learn her skills.
Anyway, those who learn well will make high-end custom-made clothes after they graduate, while those who don't learn well will make mid-range mass-produced clothes. Their wages will differentiate their learning outcomes.
After Yang Qiaoqiao agreed to Master Su's request, Master Su immediately and happily agreed as well.
Yang Qiaoqiao still talked to Master Luo.
Although with the advancement of science and technology, the clothing industry will also adopt high-tech machines, which will replace manual labor to a greater extent in the future.
However, the more discerning people are, the more they pursue refinement. Machine-made clothes, lacking soul, can hardly meet their requirements. Handmade customization will never go out of style.
If she wants to do business in the high-end market, she definitely needs to train a group of tailors who can do custom-made tailoring.
However, training this kind of talent is different from training embroidery talent. She only wants high-end tailors, so she requires Master Luo to eliminate those who lack talent while training them.
She plans to select some of the best apprentices from the garment factory for Master Luo's training, so that those who are eliminated by Master Luo can return to work in the garment factory.
When Master Luo heard the salary offered by Yang Qiaoqiao, he readily agreed.
After arranging things at the studio, Yang Qiaoqiao went to Yang Benya's branch in the mall.
It's just past lunchtime, and Yang Benya restaurant has just finished its busy work, with the staff preparing to eat.
Lin Xiaohui came to help as soon as she got back, and Zheng Yulan was just about to go to Yang Qiaoqiao's studio to call her over for dinner.
"Qiaoqiao, I was just about to go call you for dinner when you came over." Zheng Yulan greeted Yang Qiaoqiao with a smile.
Yang Qiaoqiao quickly stepped forward to help Zheng Yulan up. "Sister-in-law, why aren't you resting at home? Are you short-staffed at the shop?"
Zheng Yulan laughed and said, "I was bored staying at home by myself. It's almost Chinese New Year, and the mall is crowded every day. There are also many people eating at our store, so we can't keep up. I came over to help out and do some light work."
