I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

After the success of their enamel filigree and kingfisher feather hairpin accessories, Chen Jia and Chen Jue's business vision broadened. They turned their attention to the textile field and decided to study daily necessities such as blankets, knitted toys, furniture covers, clothes, bags, etc., hoping to create unique products in this new field.

On this day, the sun shines through the window into the room of the Chen Mansion, which is filled with various fabric samples and design sketches. Chen Jia and Chen Jue sit at the table, which is covered with soft wool, colorful silk threads and some simple knitting samples. Chen Jia gently strokes a piece of delicate wool fabric and speaks first: "Husband, we have achieved a lot in the field of accessories, but I think the textile industry also contains huge business opportunities. Blankets can bring warmth to people, knitted toys are full of childlike fun, furniture covers can protect furniture and add beauty, and clothes and bags are indispensable to people's daily lives. If we can innovate on these textile daily necessities, we will be able to meet the needs of different customers."

Chen Jue nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the colorful silk threads, and he said thoughtfully: "My wife, your idea is very far-sighted. The market for textile daily necessities is vast, but it is not easy to make it unique. We need to work harder on material selection, design style and production technology. For example, the material of the blanket should focus on warmth and comfort, knitted toys should use safe and harmless materials, furniture covers should be wear-resistant and easy to clean, and clothes and bags should keep up with fashion trends and ensure quality."

Chen Jia put down the wool fabric in her hand and said seriously: "Husband, you are right. For blankets, we can choose high-quality wool and cashmere, and even try to add some special fibers to improve warmth retention and softness. In terms of design, we can incorporate various patterns and colors to meet the needs of different home styles. For knitted toys, we must strictly control the safety of materials and design cute and interesting shapes to inspire children's love. For furniture covers, we should choose wear-resistant fabrics and study some anti-fouling and easy-to-clean treatment processes. For clothes and bags, we should pay attention to current fashion trends and combine unique design concepts to create distinctive styles."

Chen Jue thought for a moment and added, "Madam, in terms of production technology, we can introduce advanced knitting equipment to improve production efficiency and product quality. For complex patterns and designs, we can use embroidery, printing and dyeing and other processes for decoration. In addition, we must pay attention to details, such as the edge treatment of blankets, the firmness of the stitching of knitted toys, the fit of clothes, the smoothness of the zipper of bags, etc. These details can enhance the customer experience."

Chen Jia's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "My husband's ideas are great! In this way, our textile products for daily use will not only be practical, but also beautiful and high-quality. Then we should quickly call together relevant craftsmen and designers to discuss and listen to their professional opinions."

Chen Jue nodded in agreement: "Okay, gather craftsmen who are good at knitting, printing and dyeing, embroidery and other crafts, as well as designers who have a keen insight into fashion trends, and let everyone discuss together and make a detailed plan."

Soon, a group of experienced craftsmen and designers gathered in the room. After Chen Jia and Chen Jue explained their ideas in detail, a senior knitting craftsman frowned and said, "Duke, Madam, to make high-quality blankets, knitted toys, etc., the knitting technology is very demanding. Different materials require different needles and strengths, and the flatness and uniformity of the fabric must be ensured to avoid uneven tightness."

Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "Master, we can organize skill training for the craftsmen and invite experts in the industry to share their experience so that everyone can master various knitting techniques. At the same time, we can set up quality inspection links during the production process to detect and correct problems in a timely manner."

At this time, a printing and dyeing craftsman said: "Madam, Duke, when printing and dyeing patterns on fabrics, the choice and matching of colors are very important. They must conform to the current aesthetic trends. Moreover, the printing and dyeing process must ensure the clarity and color fastness of the pattern, and it must not fade easily."

Chen Jia said: "Master, then please take the trouble to pay attention to fashion trends and research new color combinations and pattern designs. In terms of printing and dyeing technology, continue to explore innovations to improve the quality and durability of the patterns."

An embroidery craftsman said: "Duke, Madam, embroidery can add a unique beauty to fabrics, but hand embroidery is inefficient. We can consider combining hand embroidery with machine embroidery to ensure exquisiteness and improve production efficiency."

Chen Jue nodded and said, "Master, this is a good idea. Under the premise of ensuring the quality of embroidery, we can reasonably use hand and machine embroidery to create unique fabrics."

A designer said: "Duke and Madam, I think the design of clothes and bags should be differentiated according to different occasions and age groups. For example, we can design fashionable styles for young women and add popular elements; design simple, generous and practical clothes and bags for professionals; design knitted toys and clothes that are full of childlike fun and bright colors for children."

Chen Jia nodded and said, "That's a good idea. During the design process, we need to fully consider the needs and preferences of different customer groups to make our products more targeted and attractive."

Everyone took orders and threw themselves into the intense preparation and production.

A few days later, Chen Jia and Chen Jue came to the blanket workshop. A knitting craftsman excitedly presented a newly finished blanket and said, "Duke, Madam, we used the best wool for this blanket and added some thermal fibers to greatly improve its thermal performance. In terms of design, we used a simple geometric pattern. Do you like it?"

Chen Jia gently took the blanket, feeling its softness and thickness, and praised: "Master, this blanket feels so good, and it is really warm. But if the pattern can be added with some color changes, it may be more visually impactful."

Chen Jue also nodded and said, "Master, the edge of the blanket can be made with some exquisite lock-edge technology to make the overall look more beautiful."

The knitting craftsman quickly said, "Don't worry, Duke and Madam, we will make adjustments according to your requirements."

At the knitted toy production site, craftsmen are making all kinds of cute toys. Chen Jia picked up a knitted bear, examined it carefully and said, "Master, this bear is very cute and the material is very soft. But the stitches on the eyes and nose can be reinforced to prevent them from falling off when children play."

The craftsman nodded and said, "Madam, you are right. We will strengthen the processing of these details to ensure the safety of the toy."

In the furniture cover workshop, printing and dyeing craftsmen displayed several designed furniture cover fabrics. Chen Jue looked at a piece of fabric printed with a floral pattern and said to the craftsman: "Master, this floral pattern is very beautiful and the colors are very bright. But how are the test results in terms of wear resistance and stain resistance?"

The dyeing craftsman said: "Sir, we have made special treatment to the fabric, and its wear resistance has been significantly improved. In terms of anti-fouling, it needs further optimization, and we will continue to study it."

In the clothing and bag design studio, the designer showed Chen Jia and Chen Jue a series of design sketches. Chen Jia looked at the sketch of a dress designed for working women and said, "The design of this dress is simple and generous, which is very suitable for the workplace style. But at the neckline and cuffs, some delicate embroidery can be added to enhance the overall texture."

The designer said: "Madam, your suggestion is very good. I will modify it according to your idea."

After the hard work of craftsmen and designers day and night, the first batch of textile daily necessities was finally completed.

The blankets are rich in colors and exquisite in patterns. They are not only warm, but also soft and comfortable. The edge lock process is exquisite and beautiful. The knitted toys are cute, made of safe materials, and the details are well processed. Children love them. The furniture covers are wear-resistant and stain-resistant, and the floral patterns are lifelike, adding a lot of beauty to the furniture. The clothes and bags are uniquely designed, keeping up with fashion trends while focusing on quality and practicality.

Chen Jia and Chen Jue were delighted to see these works that were the result of everyone's hard work. Chen Jia said, "My husband, these works are so outstanding! Each one shows our dedication and innovation in textile daily necessities. I believe that they will be loved by customers after they are launched on the market."

Chen Jue smiled and said, "My lady, this is all thanks to everyone's joint efforts. We can first set up a special display area in the store to display these new products and invite residents, merchants and fashion lovers in the city to come and taste them. At the same time, we can increase publicity by holding new product display activities and fashion shows, so that more people can understand our textile daily necessities."

Soon, Chen Jia and Chen Jue held a new product display event in the store. People from all walks of life in the city responded to the invitation and praised these novel and practical textile daily necessities.

A young woman picked up a fashionable bag and said excitedly: "Duke Chen, Madam Chen, the design of this bag is so fashionable! The color and style are very much in line with my taste, and the quality is also very good."

Chen Jia smiled and responded: "Thank you for your love, Miss. We hope to create bags that are both fashionable and practical for young women to satisfy your pursuit of beauty."

A professional looked at a simple-designed shirt and said, "This shirt is very suitable for workplace wear. It is simple and elegant without losing quality. Duke Chen and Madam Chen, your design is very considerate and takes into account the needs of different groups of people."

Chen Jue said: "Thank you for your recognition. We are committed to providing customers with a variety of products so that everyone can find satisfactory choices in different occasions."

A mother looked at the knitted toys with her child and said, "These knitted toys are so cute and the materials are very reliable. My child liked them as soon as he saw them. Duke Chen and Madam Chen, you really put a lot of effort into your products."

Chen Jia said: "Thank you for your support. We hope that children can play happily and safely, and these knitted toys can accompany them to grow happily."

With the praise of the public, Chen Jia and Chen Jue once again achieved great success in the business field with their innovative ideas and persistent pursuit of quality. Their textile daily necessities not only enriched the market choices, but also brought more comfort and beauty to people's lives, becoming another good story in the commercial development history of Qing State.
