    "Cuckoo, Lilac!"

    Chen Nianguan reckoned that the down jacket and duvet quilt he wanted were ready, so he came to ask Du Juan and the others for them, and happened to see both of them in the yard, and waved his hands.

    "Master Chen!"

    "The brocade quilt and two brocade robes I asked you to make earlier, are you done?"

    "Master, Master, everything is ready." The Si Ya in the house shouted and rushed out, claiming credit, "I wrapped the two sets of brocade quilts and brocade robes that the Master wanted yesterday."

    "Si Ya! Have you finished what I want?" Liu Feng's voice also came from the west wing.

    "Okay, Young Master Liu, you can come and get it anytime!"

    So Liu Feng rushed over, and Chen Nianguan went in, but he could only wait outside the house, scratching his head and cheeks anxiously.

    Inside the room, Chen Nianguan looked at the five brocade robes and five cotton quilts that Si Ya took out.

    As early as when Uncle Mao delivered the second batch of duck down, she had Plan S in her heart.

    Now she is a debtor.

    I owed a huge debt of two thousand taels, and then bought wasteland in Pinger Village and asked someone to open up wasteland. have to wait for three months to wait for the restaurant to be rebuilt and opened to earn money. If don’t do anything during this period,That would be full expenditure and negative income. Even Cousin Liu Yun knows the truth of sitting and eating. How could such a shrewd worker leader like her not understand?

    Now the renovation of the restaurant and the back kitchen is going well, with Cang Monan helping to watch, and then Shi Cunqi is also helping Pinger Village with the progress and hiring and training of manpower. She only needs to be responsible for setting up the chef team and the corresponding cooking utensils.

    Liu Yun is in charge of the chef team, and the cooking utensils and tableware are being produced by corresponding blacksmiths, carpenters, porcelain craftsmen, and strippers according to the design drawings. Chen Nianguan only supervises from time to time, and there is still time to spare, so he has no choice but to think about it.earn money.

    First of all, it is good to reduce your debts!

    Therefore, the duck down that Uncle Mao keeps sending up has become her second side job to earn money.

    Make some down jackets and duvets and sell them!

    To whom?

    Her creditor Jiang Yu, the rich businessman Cang Monan is naturally also a target, and Shi Cunqi can also consider selling one or two sets.

    Then Liu Feng jumped out and said, "Don't forget our good buddy, Xiao Seventh Master."

    Well, that's right, since Master Minghai said that Xiao Qiye is an invisible rich businessman, and he would spend a lot of money to buy a few down jackets, he would probably be willing.

    Therefore, the five Langjun suits here are tailor-made according to each person's situation after Chen Nianguan comprehensively considered the actual conditions of the target object. Except for the simple ones given to Master Ming Hai, the other four are all exquisite in workmanship.The fabrics are also the best in Pearl Cloth, and even the quilt cover is made of Shu brocade. Counting the cost, the cost of the Shu brocade quilt alone costs two hundred taels, and the raw materials are expensive!

    Chen Nianguan checked that the preparations were correct, packed the three brocade robes and three quilts and took them with him, and gave the other two brocade robes and two quilts to Liu Feng.

    The two looked at each other, nodded slightly at each other, and then went to sell the down products in their hands.

    Chen Nianguan brought Xiao You and Si Ya to Suchuan Road.

    Today, Cang Monan is also curious about the restaurant storefront under renovation.

    Chen Nianguan has always had doubts about the craftsmanship of Tan Carpenter and others recovered.

    Cang’s family is not short of money, and every family that needs carpenters and craftsmen directly finds Qiaomu. This time, Chen Nianguan chose to abandon Qiaomu and come to find such folk craftsmen. Cang Monan is worried.I was afraid that the renovation of this good restaurant would be messed up, so I kept a close eye on it. Basically, from the day Carpenter Tan started work, he came around every day.

    In the first few days, Carpenter Tan was still very cautious. Mrs. Chen would come over every day to ask about the design drawings in detail. Mrs. Chen also explained to Carpenter Tan every time.

    In the beginning, Mrs. Chen would come to the scene to give them instructions on how to do it. He also watched Carpenter Tan and the others plan the layout of the second floor according to the design drawings, separating four elegant seats on the left and right sides, and then went up to the second floor to startSlowly disassemble the left box, and then process it into a screen.

    After the screens were made one after another, they were placed on the seats one by one, and Cang Monan was amazed.

    Originally, the timbers of the tables and private rooms upstairs and downstairs in the Spring Breeze were uniform, and they were all high-quality ginkgo wood. Now, although the layout of the first floor has been changed, there are eight more semi-open private rooms, but they were demolished from the second floor.The elegant partition wood is rebuilt, and with a little modification, it becomes a delicate, smooth and exquisitely carved screen, which separates the eight private rooms well, and blends in with the temperament of the rest of the lobby space.There is no private room in this lobby, and everyone thought that the original layout was like this, and it was not abrupt at all.

    Therefore, when Cang Monan came again at this time, it was not because he was worried, but to see how else Carpenter Tan could change something rotten into something magical.

    Cang Monan was excited when he saw it, so he was called out by Chen Nianguan.

    "Young Master Cang, I have two good things that I want to sell to you. I wonder if you are interested?"

    Oh, isn't Mrs. Chen a good cook in a restaurant?Are you still selling things?

    Cang Monan crossed his arms and waited.

    Chen Nianguan then took out the well-packed brocade robe and handed it to Cang Monan.

    Cang Monan opened the bag and looked very embarrassed.

    This, this, this lady Chen, how could she make clothes for herself for no reason?

    While slightly shy and embarrassed, she heard Mrs. Chen urging: "Go to any private room upstairs and try changing it. If it doesn't fit, I won't sell you."

    Oh, I didn't make it for myself, I had to buy it myself!

    Hmph, I am also the young master of the Cang family, I have never seen any beautiful clothes.

    Just as was about to say no to buying it, hand touched the brocade robe, it was so soft, it seemed to be a brocade robe with a sandwich?

    "Young Master Cang, try it, you won't be disappointed."

    Seeing Mrs. Chen smiling, Cang Monan thought for a while, hey, for the sake of her being a partner, it won't hurt to try it, at worst, don't buy it!

    Then he asked his followers to go up with the clothes, and he followed up the stairs.

    "By the way, Mr. Cang, when you wear this clothes, don't wear jackets and jackets underneath, take them off, and then wear our clothes to see the effect."

    Cang Monan slipped on the stairs and almost fell.

    This, this, how could Mrs. Chen be like this, so..., to teach herself to take off her clothes in public?

    He also said that it was Mrs. Juren, this, this, this, this is too informal!

    Cang Monan ran into the private room on the second floor in embarrassment, closed the door immediately, asked his attendants to take off his coat and jacket, and then put on the brocade robe.

    Once put it on, well, still feel uncomfortable.

    What should do if catch cold in this kind of weather with so little to wear?

    After waiting for a while, didn't feel too cold, so it was strange. Hey, this robe seems to be very warm!

    Cang Monan boldly walked out of the private room, and blew a cold wind towards the corridor, which really shocked my mother, she was not cold at all, it was better than wearing two pieces of clothes to keep her warm.

    What kind of robe is this?How do you do it?What fabric?

    Why don't they know that they are in the cloth business?

    No, this cloth seems to be sold by your own cloth shop, so, the person who made the clothes stuffed them with cotton wool?

    Cang Monan ran from the second floor down to the first floor as lightly as a swallow, and stood in front of the smiling Chen Nianguan, excitedly, "Miss Chen?????, who made this robe? Where did you add it?"cotton?"

    Chen Nianguan avoided answering, and asked: "How, Mr. Cang, do you like this robe?"

    Cang Monan calmed down, remembering that Chen Nianguan wanted to sell the clothes to him, "I don't know how much money is needed for such a robe?"

    "One hundred taels! And," Chen Nianguan said, he took out another bundle: "There is also a quilt that is also very warm, Mr. Cang..."

    "Yes, how much money, and report it up."

    Cang Monan took the brocade robe and quilt home with five hundred taels of silver.

    And at the Grand Buddhist Temple, Master Ming Hai has already put on the down jacket specially designed for him by Chen Nianguan, and put it under the cassock, which is especially warm, and there is no need to burn the brazier.

    Master Ming Hai felt very comfortable in his heart.

    On the other end, Xiao Seventh Master, who was harassed by Liu Feng and had to try to put on the down brocade robe, also felt good.

    "Liu Feng, this robe is not bad!"

    "Let me just say, this robe is extremely expensive at first glance. Only Qi Ye is worthy of such a good dress." Liu Feng also smiled, "As long as Qi Ye likes it, buy it?"

    Xiao Seventh Master was stunned.

    Master Ming Hai was taken aback.

    Eunuch Liu pursed his lips every day.

    I bury my head in my heart every day.

    "I said Liu Feng, you are wrong. If you send two sets of robes and two sets of quilts, Ming Hai won't have to spend money, but I still have to spend money to buy them?" Xiao Seventh Master became angry, "ThisWhat's the reason? I also lent you three thousand taels to start a restaurant business with you!"

    "Two thousand taels, it's two thousand taels. Seventh Master, I only lent you two thousand taels, and the other one thousand taels are for you." Liu Feng waved his hand with a smile, "Oh, that's because Master Ming Hai is my master.Cousin’s savior, the two sets given to Master Ming Hai are all thanks to his kindness, and the material is not as expensive as yours!”

    Master Ming Hai listened and nodded.

    This Mrs. Chen knows how to repay her kindness, and she is a real person, not bad.

    "But you are different, Xiao Seventh Master, you and my cousin are neither related nor related, even if you are doing business, you still rely on me to support you." Liu Feng explained, "This robe is a limited edition, not many people in the world can wear itCome on, you don't know how much effort we put into making this robe!"

    Xiao Seventh Master looked at the stitches on the brocade robe, um, they really put their heart into it, and the material is also top-quality. Although there are no embroidery patterns, it looks low-key and luxurious, with an extraordinary bearing, which is very suitable for her status as a micro-clothes at this time.The key is to wear comfortable and warm, but also light and flexible.

    "When the winter solstice comes, let's wear these clothes, which are definitely better than anything else." Liu Feng finished bragging, bewitching, "Qiye, you are the richest man in Capital City, treat yourself better! You can't just want to make money."If you spend all your money on the lady at the head of the family, you have wronged yourself, so it is okay to reward yourself with a new set of clothes!"

    Xiao Seventh Master rubbed his forehead and laughed.

    That's right, the tributes and other good things collected are all for him to reward the ministers and concubines in the harem. Who will reward him himself?

    "Okay, okay, my Seventh Master will listen to what you said to Liu Feng today, and reward myself with a new set of clothes." Xiao Seventh Master touched the down jacket on his body, "I bought this clothes."

    Liu Feng smiled and held up the same quilt for him to see.

    "I also reward myself with a new set of cotton quilts, I want it." Xiao Seventh Master said loudly.

    "That's right! Seventh Master, this is the real man!" Liu Feng gave Xiao Seventh Master a thumbs up to praise him, then extended his hand to Liu Fuan, "Guan Liu?"

    Now he knows that this Liu Fuan is the errand that pays for Xiao Seventh Master.

    If you want money, you can go to him.

    The corner of Liu Fuan's mouth twitched, enduring it hard.

    Ming Hai has gotten used to it, sipping a cup of tea beautifully, wearing a warm down jacket leisurely.

    Seeing it enviously: Little brother Liu Feng, you are so amazing, you can earn money from the Holy Master.

    "Liu Fuan, give me the silver." The real man Emperor Hong waved his hand and gave instructions.

    Eunuch Liu bowed respectfully to Emperor Hong, and then asked with a slight smile, "Dare to ask Mr. Liu Xiaolang, total?"

    "Seven hundred taels."

    Eunuch Liu knew now that he wanted to get a hundred taels of silver bills.

    One hundred yuan banknotes were delivered to Liu Feng, Liu Feng smiled and nodded: "Thank you Seventh Master Sheng Hui!"

    Xiao Seventh Master put on a duvet that night, woke up from the heat, and felt that the cotton quilt made by cousin Liu Feng was really worth the money!

    Master Cang was also awakened by the heat.

    Let's say that Cang Monan is a good grandson who respects his elders. He bought such a good thing from Chen Nianguan. If he wants the brocade robe, he naturally wants to give the quilt to his grandfather.

    Master Cang then received filial piety from his good grandson.

    Master Cang was very satisfied.

    After all, he is my favorite grandson, so considerate.

    You know, Mr. Cang is in his forties, and the older he gets, the more he is afraid of the cold. He thought it was a matter of adding an extra quilt, but after covering him, he was woken up by the heat at night.

    After waking up, looking at the new quilt on the bed, felt amazing!

    Then found the good-looking grandson, seeing that the good-looking grandson didn't wear much clothes today, but he was energetic and not afraid of the cold, and after inquiring again, seeing the down brocade robe on the good-looking grandson, his eyes shone brightly.

    How can only good grandsons have such good clothes?Hurry up, go to Mrs. Chen to buy a few more pieces, and when my grandson walks out of the door, Master Cang yells, "Come back!"

    "grandfather?"

    Master Cang's mind kept spinning.

    How could only he and his grandson have such good clothes?

    I don't know if this dress is good to make?If it can be sold in batches, won't it become a big business for cloth workshop?

    Immediately, want to meet in person Mrs. Chen, who has always existed only in the mouth of good grandson, and have a good talk about the deal.

    The next day, Chen Nianguan saw the old man Cang at the stall of the Chenjia Pho shop in Hongying Lane.

    Before their grandparents showed up, Chen Nianguan finally got Jiang Yu who came to eat rice noodles, and he couldn't help but secretly elated.

    Ah, the God of Wealth is here.

    "what is this?"

    Jiang Yu looked at the two packages that Chen Nianguan handed over to his servant, and asked.

    "Clothes and quilts that are particularly effective in keeping warm." Chen Nian smiled, "Since Mr. Jiang and I are old acquaintances, I allow you to take them home and try them on first. If you are satisfied, you can ask someone to give them to you."Just return me five hundred taels of silver, if you are not satisfied, then ask someone to return all the clothes and quilts, no extra money will be charged!"

    Jiang Yu felt that Chen Nianguan underestimated himself too much.

    Young master of a dignified family, what good clothes haven't you worn?

    But in view of Miss Chen's kindness, he reluctantly accepted it.

    After eating a portion of rice noodle soup, Jiang Yu and the boy left.

    Chen Nianguan thought happily, this time the huge debt of two thousand taels can be paid off by five hundred taels in one stroke.

    He was in a really good mood, so he turned around and asked Liu Yun to fry a portion of rice noodles for himself. As soon as it was served, he saw Cang Monan appear in the down brocade robe he bought from her yesterday, and there was a hale and hearty man standing beside him.sir.

    "Master Cang?"

    "Ms. Chen, grandfather, this is Mrs. Chen." Cang Monan took Mr. Cang to sit on the desk under the oil-paper umbrella, "Ms. Chen, my grandfather has something important to talk to you. Can you spare a moment?"talk?"

    "Master Cang, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Chen Nianguan put the freshly baked fried rice noodles in front of Master Cang, and smiled: "It's the first time we meet, and it's not easy to give away, so I invite Master Cang to eat a portion of Chen's rice noodles.Pho, right?"

    "Okay!" Master Cang didn't refuse, asked my good grandson to hand over a pair of chopsticks, and started eating with relish, "Not bad, not bad, although I have eaten the Chenjia rice noodles made by them in Yueman Building, but I have tried them.I don’t even think that the food Mrs. Chen invited me to eat today is delicious, could it be because the ones at Mrs. Chen’s stall are authentic?”

    Chen Nianguan laughed.

    Master Cang slowly ate a portion of fried rice noodles amidst laughter, and wiped his mouth at the end, thinking in his heart how to get Mrs. Chen to tell the Cang family how to make the clothes.

    Chen Nianguan was not in a hurry, he squinted his eyes and waited patiently.

    After coming to the capital for so long, the Cang family originally wanted to rent a shop for themselves as a commercial building, with a profit of 50%.He came to see me, what is the purpose, isn't it obvious?

    Do you want to cooperate to make down series?

    As far as she knew, the Mingzhu Cloth Shop of the Cang Family not only traded silk and satin fabrics, but also had its own tailor shop to order clothes for customers and sell ready-made clothes.

    So, this possibility is very high.

    Sure enough, as soon as Master Cang opened his mouth, Chen Nianguan knew he had guessed right.

    Mr. Cang said clearly that he saw the potential market for the down jackets and quilts he made, and wanted to cooperate with her. As for the cooperation method, Mr. Cang’s initial intention is that their cloth shop will provide cloth shops, and Chen Nianguan will produce cotton materials for embroidering mothers, and after making ready-made clothes, Put it on sale in shops, and earn 50% of the profit.

    Chen Nianguan laughed.

    This Master Cang is really interesting. The last time he wanted to lend a shop to build a restaurant for himself, he also wanted a five-fifth.

    "I'm very interested in Master Cang's proposal, but right now I'm focusing on building a restaurant. I just wanted to make this clothes for my family on a temporary basis. I happen to have a lot of them, so I'll sell them to acquaintances.I didn't plan to develop it into a way of making a living." Chen Nianguan said with regret.

    "Well, Mrs. Chen can think about it. We can talk about this cooperation condition again." Master Cang also expressed his openness, and then asked: "I wonder if Mrs. Chen still has many clothes on hand? Don't hide it from Chen."Lady, I am old and afraid of the cold, these clothes are just right, if not, can I order a few for you?"

    "Yes, yes." Chen Nianguan smiled, and took the size of Master Cang's clothes that Cang Monan handed him.

    "One piece of clothing is one hundred taels, and I'll give you the full amount of three hundred taels. I wonder how long it will take for Mrs. Chen to make it for me?" Master Cang asked.

    "It will take at least six days!"

    "Okay, then I'll wait for Mrs. Chen????? for six days."

    In fact, Master Cang couldn't wait for a day. When he got home, he asked the steward to get the scissors and asked the good grandson to take off his clothes.

    "grandfather?"

    Cang Monan looked at the scissors, his heart choked, and he grabbed the warm clothes on his body.

    "Brother Nan, come on, take off that dress, cut it up and let me see, what kind of cotton wool is inside?"

    "Grandfather! The clothes I bought for a hundred taels of silver, you, you will lose them as soon as you cut them!" Cang Monan wore down clothes that were light and comfortable, and he was unwilling to make sacrifices. "Grandfather, you don't know, thisThe clothes are so comfortable to wear."

    "Of course I know it's comfortable, so I have to find out what kind of cotton is stuffed here?" Master Cang gave the steward a wink, and the steward looked at Master Cang and Young Master Cang who was stepping back, feeling embarrassed.

    "Grandfather, you still have a quilt that can be cut." Cang Monan pointed to Master Cang's bedroom.

    "You evil grandson! That's a Shu brocade quilt worth four hundred taels, how can you be so prodigal?"

    Master Cang hesitated to take care of the steward, grabbed the scissors in his hand, and rushed towards his grandson.

    Cang Monan's screams resounded through Cang Mansion.

    Master Cang looked at the pieces of white fluff floating out of the torn clothes, scattered in the breeze, and landed on the desk, on the Duobao Pavilion, everywhere.

    "What is this?" Master Cang grabbed a few pieces, "Mao? What Mao?"

    "Like, what kind of bird's hair is it?" The steward looked at it and speculated.

    "What kind of bird has such long hair?" Master Cang picked it up and sniffed it, but he didn't smell any peculiar smell. "How to deal with it?"

    He wants to make a living in this business, but what kind of bird is this?Usually, how many birds of this kind of small and fine-haired bird have to be caught to save the feathers of a piece of clothing?

    Cang Monan looked at the sleeve that had been cut off by his grandfather, completely forgot about the cold wind blowing over him, and wailed: "It's gone!"

    "It's worthless! You have friendship with Mrs. Chen, so you won't let her order another one? Grandpa will just pay you a hundred taels."

    Only then did Cang Monan react.

    That's right, my grandfather paid three hundred taels of silver to make three pieces of clothes for Mrs. Chen, and he can also spend money to make them for himself!

    The next day, he also took six hundred taels of silver to find Mrs. Chen.

    And it wasn't just Cang Monan who brought money to Mrs. Chen to order clothes, but also Jiang Yu.

    Jiang Yu not only brought an extra thousand taels of silver, but also Chen Nianguan's two thousand taels of IOU.

    Chen Nianguan took the IOU and looked at Jiang Yu with a smile.

    Jiang Yu gave a dry cough, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

    Not to mention the clothes are easy to wear, but second uncle saw them, tried them out out of curiosity, and fell in love with them, so also ordered two pieces and a quilt.

    After the second aunt found out, she wanted to order two clothes and a quilt as well.

    After hearing the news, my cousin and sister came over and saw with their own eyes how good the dress was, so they wanted to place an order for two dresses and a quilt.

    The members of Jiang Shilang's family knew the goods, and they recognized that the quilt was made of Shu brocade, and they didn't think it was expensive.

    Come on, the whole second uncle's family has become the client of that girl Chen, including himself, and also ordered a set.

    So, the family brought four quilts and eight sets of clothes, all sizes.

    A total of three thousand taels, Chen Nianguan not only paid off Jiang Yu's debts, but also earned an extra thousand taels from Jiang Yu.

    Chen Nianguan tore up the IOU, and smiled while grabbing the one thousand taels of profit.

    Tsk tsk, Master Chen just came back out of the rivers and lakes, and he regained his prestige!

    You can do whatever you want, and the first place to make money is her Master Chen!

    However, the cost of the duck down bought for five taels of silver is expensive, but the profit is doubled. As for the fabric of the clothes, the best fabrics are naturally chosen, but it only cost fifty taels of money to make so many sets, so she aloneIt's easy to make money back at one end!

    Now that you have received so many orders, do you have to consider opening an embroidery studio?

    It just so happened that there was still a vacant room in the East Wing, and Chen Nianguan immediately arranged it, and let the two beasts move and remove the extra desks in it, and there was a ready-made embroidery room.

    Hmph, Master Cang is still talking about setting up a fabric shop. Even if she, Chen Nianguan, doesn't rent the Cang's shop, she can still start a business.

    This down jacket should have gone the high-end route, and it was custom-made exclusively for customers.

    Nowadays, a down jacket can be sold at a sky-high price, but if you cooperate with Master Cang and make it into ready-made clothes for large-scale sales, down jackets are not uncommon. How can you set a high price at that time?

    Only by setting a high price can it be sold to those people in Kyoto who are not short of money.

    If the down jackets are so rotten on the street, they don't think they are rare anymore. She has set a high price, so how can she attract them to buy them?

    So, this winter, she has to rely on this to make some quick money first!
