What a cheating husband

Shopkeeper Wan has been with Liang Zijun for 7 years, and he has already been able to deal with all major and minor issues. Today, he sent a staff to look for him, and there must be a major issue that cannot be resolved.Chen Qing's heart sank, could it be that something went wrong in the embroidery room?

The little guy didn’t know it, and he was Chen Gong and took the job of teaching the embroiderer. He couldn’t help secretly admiring it. It’s rare for a craftsman to be able to do Chen Gong’s job. He didn’t even see the shopkeeper. Only occasionally invited to teach the embroiderer?

After Chen Qing rushed to the cloth workshop, Liu Hengshan stopped the people first and led them directly to the warehouse where the cloth is stored.The cloth in question was stored in a warehouse next to it, and within a quarter of an hour, shopkeeper Wan put down his business and rushed over.

Silk yarn is a new fabric that has only become popular in recent years. Because of its light and transparent texture, it is often used to make mosquito nets, screens or round fans.Silk yarn is lighter than silk, and it is white and transparent when it is spun from cooked silk. It is also called plain silk because of its light and thin texture.Because the material of silk fabric itself determines its notable characteristics such as fragility, strong moisture absorption, and easy deformation, and has high requirements for storage environment, it is extremely difficult to preserve.

The silk yarn purchased by the store this time was damaged by moths due to the heavy rain a few days ago.Recently, it is fashionable to use silk gauze overlays to show lightness and elegance in the dresses of women's family members. Therefore, shopkeeper Wan ordered 100 pieces and stored them in the warehouse.Who would have imagined that the continuous days of rain would cause a lot of rainwater to pour into the cracks at the foot of the wall that had been in disrepair for a long time. When the storeroom staff found out that a large amount of silk yarn was infested with insects, and there were many small and imperceptible holes in the fabric.

The guy blamed himself, and shopkeeper Wan's face was even more ugly.If such a big mistake happened, the entire batch of fabrics would be scrapped, and the cost alone would have to pay half a month’s surplus. If the fabrics were unsalable, it would be justifiable, but this is the fabric that is urgently needed. Business has had a huge impact.

Chen Qing couldn't help but frown as he inspected the pieces one by one. The cost of this piece of silk yarn is not low, and the usable parts are extremely rare.

The sun was setting to the west, the clerk was kicked out to guard the door, Liu Hengshan was ordered to guard the shop, only Chen Qing and shopkeeper Wan stayed in the warehouse, frowning.Chen Qing first comforted the shopkeeper who kept blaming himself and apologizing, and then shook off the cloth to think about countermeasures.

"Shopkeeper Wan, please open the window, and I'll see if I can cover it with embroidery thread." Chen Qing came up with an impossible solution.

Shopkeeper Wan shook his head frequently. This silk fabric is most afraid of moisture. After absorbing water, mold will produce holes, and even if it is barely used, it may not be able to withstand the pull. Shortage on the cabinet”

Chen Qing nodded, he knew that the silk yarn could not be repaired, but he was reluctant to waste a large sum of money, so he dragged shopkeeper Wan to negotiate a remedy. "According to your method, I entrust you to take care of the things in the shop. If you don't have enough money, just open your mouth."

Shopkeeper Wan's face looked a little better. He originally wanted to ask Chen Qing to get a sum of money from his house, so he rushed to invite him here.If the owner hadn't withdrawn 1 taels from the account, it wouldn't have been a problem, but there was something wrong with this batch of goods, so shopkeeper Wan had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the owner's husband for the payment.

Chen Qing stared at the light for a long time, and finally gave up helplessly. This batch of fabrics could not be sold unless it was embroidered on a large area. Even if the price was reduced, who would buy rags to make clothes?Even if the price were equal to that of the lowest grade of burlap, no farmer would be willing to make dresses out of this flashy material.

Shopkeeper Wan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Qing was finally willing to give up. He believed that the silk gauze was thrown away early in the morning, but his boss refused to give up, so he had to accompany Xiangzhe.

Chen Qing wailed, this year is really an eventful one!Not to mention catching up with the drought, you have to pay for money to store food, and even have to pay for a dowry to marry a daughter!As soon as it stopped, the cloth shop lost another batch of fabrics, and all of them were lost money, and they were compensated everywhere!

Shopkeeper Wan couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw Chen Qing's heartache. Not only did he not increase the store's profit, but he paid 5000 taels of silver in the absence of the owner!Can't help but also sighed, "Hey~ this is a mess!"

Chen Qing glared at the fabric that cost him a lot of money in frustration, and just about to let go, suddenly raised it up and looked at the window fiercely, shopkeeper Wan's heart tightened, come back?It's already evening, and he has to rush back to settle the matter!

"Shopkeeper Wan... What do you think we can use this silk gauze to make window paper?" Chen Qing turned her head and asked with bright eyes.

"What?" Shopkeeper Wan exclaimed.Doesn't the boss feel distressed about Yin Zi's madness?Who would use silk gauze to make window paper, not to mention the ventilation of silk fabrics, how can this torn gauze full of holes withstand the wind and sun?

"Look at this silk gauze, which is more transparent than white paper? It's all torn anyway, as long as you find a way to make it airtight, it's better than throwing it away as a rag." Chen Qing held up the cloth and compared it to the window sash.

"But...how is it impenetrable to the wind? The silk gauze will be soaked in rain and snow, and it will be damaged in less than half a month in the wind and sun, even more than the wear and tear of white paper." Shopkeeper Wan squinted his eyes and looked carefully. It is more transparent than white paper, but no matter how rich people are, they will not use silk fabrics to paste their windows.

Chen Qing remembered the oil painting of the old house a few days ago, and immediately ordered the shopkeeper Wan to fetch a barrel of tung oil and a barrel of turpentine.

Tung oil has the characteristics of fast drying, relatively light, good gloss, strong adhesion, heat resistance, anti-corrosion, and anti-rust. It is widely used in waterproof and anti-corrosion coatings for buildings, furniture, vehicles, fishing gear, and can be used to make tarpaulins and oil paper.

There are two types of tung oil: raw tung oil and cooked tung oil. Raw tung oil is the oil squeezed from the seeds of tung oil. It is golden in color, relatively thin, and dries slowly.Cooked tung oil, also known as varnish, is processed from raw tung oil. It is a dry oil with good hardness and luster behind the conjunctiva.The color is darker and thicker, so it needs to be diluted with turpentine (extracted from pine trees).After coating, a protective film will be formed, which is airtight and thus will produce a waterproof effect.

Shopkeeper Wan waited for Chen Qing to finish his speech and immediately applauded. The tung oil has strong adhesion, can fit the damaged fabric tightly, and can also play the role of waterproof and anticorrosion, solving all problems in one fell swoop.

Chen Qing cut silk the size of the window sash and compared it to the window, and the two experimented on the spot. When shopkeeper Wan looked at the silk oilcloth stuck to the window frame, he couldn't help laughing.

Although brushing with oil can temporarily stick the silk gauze to the window frame, it may fall off after a long time or if it is pushed vigorously. Chen Qing is thinking about asking shopkeeper Wan to hire someone to make iron nails.

"Will the cost be too high?" Shopkeeper Wan frowned and thought. Iron products are mostly used to make tools and iron pots. Wouldn't it be too expensive to make such a luxury to make fixed window paper?

"Embroidery needles don't cost much. We just need to make them slightly thicker than embroidery needles, and the nails are long enough, and flatten one end so that it can be easily pressed into the wooden frame." Chen Qing picked up a small wooden stick and explained.

"It doesn't cost a lot of money. This silk screen paper is easy to make and easy to imitate. The cost is too high but it is not easy to popularize. If you need this iron nail to fix it, we will have the opportunity to seize the opportunity when the opponent imitates it." Shopkeeper Wan said the pros and cons with a chuckle out.

Unexpectedly, my boss, Mr. Lang, is also a formidable businessman. It seems that I still need to practice my vision, but I didn't realize that the people under him who have been working for several years are so smart.

"With so many fabrics, you can first paste them from the cloth shop, and then choose a famous shop to make a sample, preferably a restaurant or tea shop. This kind of crowded area is easy to attract attention. When the reputation is established, customers will naturally come to buy "Chen Qing came up with another idea.

"This is easy to handle. I'll talk to the owner of Wan Le Zhai. He is a restaurant that urgently needs good light-transmitting window paper for lighting, and most of the people who go there to eat are rich and famous, and they don't hesitate to spend money." Shopkeeper Wan said with a smile. After making up his mind, he discussed the next strategy with his boss Fulang.

It takes two days to make iron nails. Taking advantage of this spare time, shopkeeper Wan made a large amount of silk yarn into oilcloth to dry.A piece of cloth is equivalent to ten feet, that is, more than 30 meters. Fortunately, the warehouse is large enough, and the tung oil dries quickly. In two days, more than 30 pieces were oiled.

Using silk to make oilcloth is not only inconceivable in the eyes of ordinary people, but also a waste of fortune. How can ordinary people choose this kind of window paper?A piece of white paper is only 5 cents, even if it is easy to break, tear it off and paste another sheet.Many people heard that Liang Ji traded silk for window paper and would not bother to criticize this wasteful behavior. Many people who have read poetry and books denounced Liang Ji's cloth shop as a waste of money.

But when Wan Le Zhai also removed all the window paper and replaced it with this kind of oilcloth window paper, everyone was dumbfounded. Such transparent window paper is not only strong in light transmission, but also not easy to break. The entire lobby is full of sunlight, which is comparable to an open sash effect.

The snow-white silk is brushed with a thin layer of tung oil, revealing a faint yellowish color, reflected by the sun, which makes the whole body warm in this slightly cool late autumn.And this kind of window paper can see the outside scenery without getting close, but if you look in from the outside, you can't even see who is sitting in front of the window carefully if you are a little farther away.Such a strong privacy and good lighting window paper immediately made the whole city excited.

The most worrying thing in winter is that you can’t open the windows, which makes the house dark and humid. When the weather is good and you open the windows, it will be as cold as standing outside.If this kind of oilcloth window paper is replaced, it can illuminate without opening the window and dispel the cold in a room.

When they inquired about the price, most people shook their heads and stamped their feet. Not only was the price of the silk tarpaulin expensive, but iron nails were also needed to fix it. The cost of just one window paper was as high as 3 taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Wan showed up at the right time with a smile and introduced, "It's okay not to change some rooms, such as the study, bedroom, or lobby, you can focus on it. Even if you only change one room, our cloth shop is willing to come to do the work."

The carpenters standing by the side all straightened their backs to cooperate with the big shopkeeper. At this time, they heard Liu Hengshan say, "The study is a place for scholars and students to learn. The room is too dark and it hurts the eyes. It is not worthwhile to light wax. If the bedroom It will only make you more comfortable if you can see some sunshine in winter, the lobby is a place for hospitality, and the most important thing is to be spacious and bright..."

Everyone who heard what Liu Hengshan said was very itchy. If they only need to change one or two doors, it's not that they can't afford to change, but which room should I choose to change?After some hesitation, some people questioned, "Isn't it convenient to change the bedroom? Even if the light is transparent, it's better to cover up your shame with a blank sheet of paper. If people look at you and have sex, won't it hurt your family's reputation?"

"It's okay, we can hang a curtain like the lady's boudoir. There are two styles on the cabinet for all customers. Please come this way." Liu Hengshan led the crowd to the inner room. A curtain style.One is the most common way to open it from the middle to both sides and fix it with ropes respectively.There is also a beam on the top, and the fabric can be pulled to one side at will.

In this way, the lighting problem was solved, and the privacy was not leaked. Everyone placed orders one after another, and immediately took the guys home for construction.

Shopkeeper Wan Da smiled and walked upstairs slowly, and then just waited for the big business to come to his door.

For three consecutive days in Liangji Cloth Shop, a large number of customers rushed to buy silk window paper, and the silver snowflakes floated into the account room.Scholars and students did not hesitate to spend 4 taels of silver to decorate their study rooms, and wealthy businessmen generously replaced the window paper of their shops.

This style of competition has been around for a long time, one family behaved like this, and all the other families followed suit. No one wanted to be left behind, and they competed for financial resources one after another.

Liang Ji Cloth Shop took this opportunity to make a lot of money. The 100 pieces of rags were not damaged at all, and they even sold them at a higher price.The fire in the blacksmith's shop was never extinguished, and even half of the newly arrived silk was driven into tarpaulins.

Three days later, the major cloth workshops also brought the oilcloth window paper to the counters. However, the rich customers had already placed orders with Liang Ji, and only a few scattered customers went to other cloth workshops to order for cheap.

Chen Qing and shopkeeper Wan happily settled the accounts, smiled at each other, and yelled like a money fan, "It's done! The profit of the silk silk alone has caught up with the January surplus on the counter, not counting the curtain cloth rolls that were sold incidentally!"

"I made a full 2 taels in just a few days. It is really the most profitable business in the history of the shop!" Inspired by Chen Qing, the shopkeeper Wan put aside his usual steady demeanor and danced with Chen Qing.

Cloth Shop turned losses into profits to resolve the crisis, and shopkeeper Wan admired his boss, Fu Lang.Wan Lezhai tasted the benefits first, and Li Shoucai couldn't help but wonder what kind of wonderful person is hiding behind the scenes?
