Li Mai also officially began to expand his business.
First of all, the fabric shop has recently added new home textile products.
Tablecloths, chair covers, chair cushions, four-piece bed sheet and duvet cover sets, fabric decorations, throw pillows, plush toys.
The variety of products suddenly increased by more than ten. She also hired about ten women who knew embroidery, making full use of all the rooms in the courtyard where the embroidery workshop was located.
For fabric products, Li Mai has set up a showroom on the second floor of the clothing store, and arranged for two salespeople to sell them there, directing customers from downstairs to upstairs.
She decided to open her own shop once more people knew about her fabric art and her business improved.
After everything went smoothly, Li Mai and Zhou Quan took their two children and Zhu Zhu out for a trip, along with some stewards, to Yongzhou City.
She now owns three shops in Yongzhou City. She'll go and see which one is suitable and open another pomegranate clothing store on the second floor, along with a fabric store on the third floor.
This shop was given to me by Chu Yan, by Zhong Hui, and by the Xu family.
In addition to the courtyard that Yun Chang gave them, in short, their family now has a place to stay and a shop in Yongzhou City.
A few days later, they selected a shop as their new business, and Li Mai personally led the shopkeepers to start setting up and tidying it up.
After the shop here was tidied up, she and Zhou Quan returned to Qingshi Town to start arranging clothes to be made there.
It's summer now. By the time they've finished cleaning up there, it will be autumn, and they'll start selling autumn and winter clothes there.
There weren't enough embroiderers, so Li Mai arranged work for the embroiderers in the village as well. To keep things organized, she used her own small courtyard in the village for embroidery and gathered the women who worked for her there to work together.
They worked like the other people in town, going to work in the morning, going home for lunch, coming back in the afternoon to continue working, and going home in the evening. This way, their wages increased, they earned more, and they were happy to do so.
In order not to affect the opening of the new shop, Li Mai arranged for them to wear men's clothing in the village. Men's clothing requires less embroidery, and as long as the stitches are done well and the clothes are made neatly, there will be no problem.
In Yingzhou City, Li Mai arranged for Qian Fugui to go there, and also assigned him several people that she had later bought and trained.
After being treated with traditional Chinese medicine by Doctor Niu and with several doses of herbal decoctions given to him by Li Mai, Qian Fugui's internal injuries have largely healed. He looks much more energetic now and is no longer the weak man he used to be.
The medicinal juice made from quinoa was prepared using spiritual herbs and spring water from her spatial storage, and it was very effective for treating internal injuries.
Qian Fugui was extremely grateful to Li Mai, and naturally he did his best in everything he did.
One day at the end of June, Jinshi came to see Limai.
He brought people to congratulate Yanbao and Yubao on their 100th day celebration. This time, when he came to visit, Limai guessed that he wanted something from her.
"What's wrong?" Li Mai didn't have time to beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Master, the Heaven and Earth Alliance is all built, and the martial arts school is all ready. Tomorrow is the day we officially open for business. I would like to invite you to oversee things. Is that alright?" Jin Shi asked cautiously, afraid that Li Mai would not agree.
"How many students did the martial arts school recruit?" Li Mai had been busy with her own affairs and hadn't really paid much attention to his.
“More than eighty people have all been arranged. Would you like to go and take a look?” Jin Shi asked with a smile.
Li Mai glanced at him and asked, "Where did you get so many people?"
"We went to various villages nearby to recruit students. We provide food and lodging, and even teach martial arts. Many people are willing to send their children here!" Jin Shi didn't expect that after they went to various villages to promote their services, quite a few families were willing to send their children.
"How much has Master arranged? How is the curriculum structured? While teaching kung fu, we can't neglect teaching them to read and write," Li Mai said after thinking for a moment.
"Boss, there aren't many Master and Master, could you arrange a few more people for us? Hehe!" Jin Shi said, then smiled sheepishly, as he was reluctant to reveal the purpose of his visit.
Li Mai understood, and glanced at him. "Inviting me is just a pretense; you really want me to arrange some manpower for you, right?"
"Yes, as you know, of the people I originally had, only two or three had formally learned kung fu from a proper school, and those who could read hadn't even finished learning the Three Character Classic."
So far, he has only managed to get by with Li Mai's support and his own strong will. However, he knows that in order to run the martial arts school well and carry forward the Heaven and Earth Alliance, talents from all walks of life are indispensable.
But his connections were limited, so he had to ask Li Mai for help.
Just as Li Mai was about to speak, Zhou Quan came in. When she saw him, Li Mai's eyes lit up; she knew where to look for him.
"Okay, I understand. You can go back now. I'll find a few suitable people to deliver it to you." Li Mai waved her hand.
After Jin Shi left, Li Mai looked at Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan raised an eyebrow, "You want to use those people from the Luo family?"
“Yes, they’re just sitting around doing nothing anyway. Sending ten people who know martial arts and can read to the Heaven and Earth Alliance can teach the children martial arts and literacy at the same time. It’s a way of making a contribution to the world,” Li Mai said.
"In this way, we can also keep an eye on the Heaven and Earth Alliance, so that they don't go astray without our knowledge."
Zhou Quan nodded, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
After Zhou Quan left, Li Mai pondered: the Heaven and Earth Alliance now has a lot of people, but how will so many of them survive? What will they eat and drink? Where will they get their money?
Currently, Jinshi and his group have brute strength to do things, but lack the brains to make money. In the past year, in addition to working for themselves, they have also earned some money by helping others deliver goods.
In addition, they cultivated some wasteland outside the town to grow their own grains and vegetables. For more than a year, they were just barely making ends meet.
There are many of them, so we must ensure they have the ability to earn a living and support themselves.
Soon, Zhou Quan returned, accompanied by ten people.
Li Mai: ......
This is even faster than a summoning spell!
Zhou Quan pointed at Li Mai and said calmly to the ten people, "This is my wife."
The ten men quickly bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Madam!"
Li Mai nodded. "What kind of work did you ten people do before?"
"Herding sheep, herding horses!" the four answered cryptically.
"Can you read?" All ten people were dressed in black robes and wore black hats on their heads. Presumably, they had short hair and wanted to avoid being seen.
"Do you know what I want you to do?" Li Mai asked, while sizing up the group, also wanting to assess their character.
“We know, the ancestor said so.” One of them glanced quickly at Zhou Quan, then looked at Li Mai.
"Okay, let's go, let's go there now." After Li Mai finished speaking, she and Zhou Quan led a few people out of the mansion and headed towards the back.
