    Chen Nianguan just figured it out, Du Juan and Ding Xiang have been transferred to do sewing work, and there are two missing cooks on the reserve side, so they have to go to the dental store to buy two more cook assistants, Liu Feng jumped overup.

    "Cousin, cousin!"

    "What's wrong?"

    "The Xiao Seventh Master said that he would order four more sets for himself, using the best materials and the best embroidery work!"

    As Liu Feng said, he handed two hundred taels to his cousin, and took out another one hundred and sixty taels: "Oh, the manager of Xiao Seventh Master's house also said that he would order two pieces, and he said they should use the simplest and plain materials.Absolutely not Shu brocade, anyway, it must not overwhelm Qiye's fabric and style."

    "Okay!" Chen Nianguan saw Liu Feng's smug smile, and seemed to sense it, "Xiaofeng, you've made a lot of money here, right?"

    "Oh, cousin, how can you look at me like that?"

    "How do I see you, you still don't know?" Chen Nianguan raised his eyebrows.

    "Hey!" Liu Feng proudly touched the light gourd, not nervous at all.

    Gein Chen Nianguan said that as long as he guarantees a minimum of 50 taels of clothing and 250 taels of quilt, he will get back the profit, and the rest of the profits will belong to Liu Feng himself.

    And Liu Feng sold it to Xiao Seventh Master, knowing that he is the richest man in Capital City, so he raised the price without fear, two hundred taels for a piece of clothing, and five hundred taels for a quilt. His first sale was a success.I made a profit of four hundred taels, and laughed so hard that dreamed at night.

    Then when went to the Grand Buddhist Temple today, not only did the Xiao Seventh Master say that the clothes were good, but he ordered four more sets in one go, and with Xiao Seventh Master's permission, Manager Liu also ordered two clothes and a quilt from him.

    So he earned more than one thousand taels twice.

    Darling, if you sell a few more pieces, can you pay off all the debts owed by Xiao Seventh Master?

    However, even if you have saved enough two thousand taels, you have to let it go, and you can't return the silver to Xiao Seventh Master so quickly.

    Otherwise, the Xiao Seventh Master would feel a little uncomfortable when he realized that he used the money he earned from him to pay off his debts!

    Liu Feng finished thinking happily, and then took out another fifty taels of silver to Chen Nianguan, saying that he wanted to order a set of clothes and a quilt for himself.

    "No high-quality fabrics, no Shu brocade, ordinary ones are fine!"

    "If you want, I'll let the embroidery house do it for you. My family, why give me back the money?"

    "Hey, I'm not wearing it myself, I'm wearing it for the loyal brothers in the Grand Buddhist Temple." Liu Feng said.

    Master Ming Hai already wears down jackets, but he suffers from the cold all day long. He has stayed at the Grand Buddhist Temple for a long time, and Liu Feng has been taken care of by him, so he wants to make a set for the little brother.

    As for such a large sum of fifty taels, do you feel bad when you spend it out?

    Hey, Xiao Seventh Master is so rich, there must be some women, sons and daughters in the family, and he will slowly make up for it in the future!

    Chen Nianguan watched Liu Feng spend fifty taels of silver without frowning, and grabbed his shoulders: "I said, Xiaofeng, have you found any good leeks that can be harvested one crop after another?what?"

    Otherwise, the person he had to borrow a thousand taels of silver not long ago, can he spend fifty taels to a little brother without frowning?

    Liu Feng glanced at his cousin, hehehe laughed.

    Oh, he can't say, it's Xiao Seventh Master!

    Not only Xiao Seventh Master is rich, but even the stewards in his family are so rich that he would spend four hundred taels of silver without frowning.

    Tsk tsk, the behavior of the richest man in Capital City is really heroic!

    It is also good luck for him to meet such a fat sheep. Why don't you have to squeeze it a few more times to have more fun?

    He was afraid that after passing through this village, this shop would disappear!

    So, this winter, Chen Nianguan and Liu Feng both gathered the fat sheep they found and had a good time!

    Of course, there are also customers who make Chen Nianguan unhappy, and this customer is Shi Cunqi.

    Shi Cunqi followed Chen Nianguan to Pinger Village to find Uncle Mao. He knew that Chen Nianguan asked Uncle Mao to collect duck feathers, so when Chen Nianguan took the time to sell him the clothes and quilt, he guessed it right away..

    "You made this out of duck down? It's so expensive?"

    Tsk!

    He knew that he shouldn't have leaked the word in front of Shopkeeper Shi, and should have been patient at the time, and talk to Uncle Mao after he left.

    But I don’t know everything, so Chen Nianguan could only nod his head: “It took me a lot of effort and many steps to clean the duck down. Look, the fabric is of the best quality.Shu brocade is made, you are my partner and a partner in the store, the clothes are sold to you for 50 taels, and the quilts are only 250 taels, which is not very profitable."

    In fact, she originally sold a piece of clothing for one hundred taels, and a bed quilt for four hundred taels.Well, how about not paying back a penny?

    All of them are rich masters, so arrogant that she is full of jealousy!

    Shi Cunqi smiled, took the clothes, and pushed the Shu brocade duvet back.

    "We're not a wealthy family, we can't afford this Shu brocade, but we want to ask Master Chen to make two sets of duck down jackets for my wife and my son and daughter."

    "Down jacket, you have to call it a down jacket outside." Chen Nianguan had an attitude that you dare to say????? If it breaks, I won't sell you.

    "Okay, down jacket." Shi Cunqi knew the importance of it, nodded, "I'll make one more, and then, I'll make four beds for each quilt, ordinary materials are enough, and some discounts are enough, the total is one hundred taelsBar?"

    whispering sound!As low as the ex-factory price!I can't usually tell, shopkeeper Shi is so searched!

    "If you give me this price, I won't tell you that you are made of duck down?"

    "You have to keep your promise!"

    "A gentleman's word!"

    So Chen Nianguan came back disheartened with unsold Shu brocade duvets, and had to take a batch of orders that were so profitable that they were so low!

    However, this did not dampen Chen Nianguan's confidence.

    After all, she still had a few bills to do, so she went to the dental shops in the inner city and the outer city again, this time planning to replenish skilled staff who could do needlework and cook.

    Then, when he was looking for people in the inner city tooth shop, Chen Nianguan found out that by coincidence, two young guys were apprentices who had worked in the back kitchen in Chunfengli, so he bought them back immediately.

    Then he signed a ten-year employment contract with the three girls who can sew and the two reserve cooks.

    So far, the embroidery studio in Chen Nianguan's family has been officially established.

    You can sew down jackets and sell them for money, and you don't have to worry about the needlework at home. Master Chen, a seamstress, expressed his satisfaction.

    On this day, Uncle Mao came into the city again in a bullock cart.

    Chen Nianguan saw the large and small bags of duck down collected by Uncle Mao, and treated Uncle Mao as the guest of honor as if welcoming an honored guest. His enthusiasm made Uncle Mao feel uncomfortable.

    "Master Chen, if you want to tell me something, just say it, don't be so polite."

    Now the duck shed in Ping'er Village has been built, look at the posture, it's big, in case Uncle Mao is too busy at that time, he even found a helper to help him.

    Uncle Mao was promoted to be the manager of the duck shed, and he was very happy.

    I usually find time to find duck down for Master Chen, and I am more diligent in finding it.

    Master Chen is so kind to us, what peaches and plums do we want?

    "Hey, Uncle Mao has been running around looking for duck feathers for me these days. It's been hard work." The embroidery room in her family can be opened thanks to Uncle Mao!

    He is a great hero, how can he not treat him well?

    Chen Nianguan has calculated that after Uncle Mao raises ducks, he will no longer need to find other people for the duck down. His own duck farm can solve this supply problem, but before that, Uncle Mao will have to work hard for a while.

    Then, Chen Nianguan gave Uncle Mao two sets of down clothes.

    Made of the simplest fabric of course.

    Uncle Mao took the two sets of clothes and was flattered, "Hey, Master Chen, what if you don't have merit?"

    "It's okay, it's okay. After Uncle Mao expands the duck shed, it will be meritorious!" Chen Nianguan smiled and encouraged Uncle Mao. Uncle Mao touched his clothes and saw that it was cold outside. Chen Nianguan immediately told him to go into the house and change into clothes.up.

    Uncle Mao, who was dressed in warm clothes, felt grateful that it was a blessing in his previous life to meet such a good boss as Master Chen in this life.

    "Boss, how much duck down do you want? Tell me, and I'll get you all."

    Uncle Mao accepted the five taels of silver from Chen Nianguan, and felt that it would be difficult to repay Master Chen's kindness without devoting himself to it.

    "Uncle Mao just needs to collect duck feathers as usual." Chen Nianguan said he was not in a hurry.

    "Master Chen, what do you want so many duck feathers for?"

    "Hey, to tell you the truth, Uncle Mao, I asked you to raise ducks to supply the restaurant I opened with Shi Dong's family. You also know about this, right?"

    Uncle Mao nodded.

    "Then, our restaurant actually hires you to raise ducks, and the meat is mainly used for roast ducks." Chen Nianwan coughed, and said, "Now the back kitchen is going to prepare a stove for roast ducks, aren't weThe local people in the capital, Uncle Mao doesn’t know about this, right?”

    Uncle Mao shook his head.

    "That's right, our place is different from the roast ducks made locally in Capital City. There is also a customary tradition in the oven for roast ducks. The duck feathers must be processed and piled with the stove stone. Wait for the oven to be ready.Finally, the duck feathers have to be roasted for three days and three nights, and the roast duck cooked in such a furnace will be particularly fragrant and delicious."

    Uncle Mao was dumbfounded.

    In the world, there are still such exquisite stoves?

    "This duck feather is specially used to build a stove for roasting duck?"

    Chen Nianguan nodded with a grin.

    After chatting with Uncle Mao for a while, treated Uncle Mao to lunch before seeing him off.

    Uncle Mao walked out of Xianggui Street, full of food and drink, and wearing warm clothes, he was in a good mood.

    No matter how strange the stove that Master Chen made roast duck is, since Master Chen wants it, he will continue to deliver it, anyway, he can earn five taels!

    Uncle Mao was happily planning to go out of the city and return to Ping'er Village, when he saw a rich old man smiling at him, "This one, brother! He's an acquaintance of Master Chen!"

    This rich master is naturally Master Cang.

    "You are?"

    "Hey, my surname is Cang, and I work with Master Chen to open a restaurant. I wonder if you've heard of it?"

    "Ah, Master Chen is still cooperating with the Cang family to open a restaurant? Isn't it with Shi Dong's family?" Uncle Mao was a little surprised.

    "You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask Master Chen! If I didn't cooperate with her to open a restaurant, how would I know that Master Chen lives on Xianggui Street? And how would I know that you are an acquaintance of Master Chen?"

    It makes sense to think about it.

    "Then, Master Cang, what do you want from me?"

    If Master Cang could ask Uncle Mao for anything, it was naturally because of the bird feather in the down jacket.

    Since Master Chen doesn't want to cooperate with him on this down series, how can he figure out the secret of this down jacket by himself?

    He simply dismantled the whole clothes of the good-looking grandson, and thoroughly researched the true appearance of the interlayer inside, so he didn't know that the feather came from here. After asking the good-looking grandson again, he didn't see Mrs. Chen enter it.When was in Beijing, did bring any birds with me?

    That is to say, this feather must be found in Capital City.

    It's good if you can find it in Capital City. If she can buy it, Mrs. Chen can buy it, and he can also buy it in the sea.

    So he sent people to secretly pay attention to the movement on Xianggui Street, and also asked Cang Monan to ask Tao Bo, the gatekeeper in the house, and the two handymen.Helplessly, they seldom enter the courtyard, and they don't know the mystery.

    It must be that Mrs. Chen was on guard.

    The people sent by Master Cang squatted for a few days, and asked the neighbors about the whereabouts of Mrs. Chen's family, and then paid attention to Uncle Mao.

    This Uncle Mao went in and out three times, counting the time, it was Mrs. Chen who came and went in the days when she made down jackets, and brought a few bags of things every time. Could it be that it was bird feathers for down jackets?

    Master Cang waited for the rabbit, and when he got to Uncle Mao, he took him to a teahouse for tea.

    Now Uncle Mao really believes that Master Cang and Master Chen are partners.

    Master Chen is a kind person, giving him money and clothes, and even treating him to a good meal. If this Master Chen is not with Master Chen, how could he be so kind, treat himself to tea?

    So Uncle Mao's hostility towards Master Cang also dissipated, and while drinking tea happily, he revealed the fact that he came to deliver duck feathers to Chen Nian'an.

    "Giving duck feathers?" The business prodigy, Master Cang, immediately sensed something was wrong.

    "Ah, Master Chen hired me to raise ducks for her in Ping'er Village. Now the duck shed has been built for me, and I have also hired a few guys to help me. Good people!"

    Mr. Cang heard that the farmers near Capital City couldn’t supply the new restaurant for Mrs. Chen, and he especially asked his grandson to buy products from his own farm, and Mrs. Chen hired people to raise ducks in a village closer to Capital City.I also heard about the chicken, so this old man is a duck breeder?

    But, what does Master Chen want duck feathers for?

    "Hey, Master Chen's stove is for it!" Uncle Mao told Master Cang that the roasted duck made with the duck feather stove was so delicious that Chen Nianguan had told him earlier.

    Master Cang was dubious.

    Originally Master Cang suspected that Chen Nianguan used duck feathers to make his down jacket, but firstly, the duck feathers were mixed in color and very rough, and secondly, the duck feathers were fishy and smelly, which was really different from the white feathers he saw in the interlayer..

    He knew about the remodeling of the new restaurant's back kitchen, and his good grandson went to the restaurant every day to see the progress of the renovation. As for the use of duck feathers to build the stove, has he never heard of such a thing?

    Master Chen has extraordinary cooking skills. The fish curd, rice noodles, and scallop sauce are all made by ordinary chefs. He has never eaten the roast duck made by Mrs. Chen, but imagine that he can make delicious scallopsThe Chen Niangzi in the sauce is burnt, and the taste may not be bad.

    Could it be that using duck feathers to build a stove, and then using duck feathers to cook for three days and three nights, is Mrs. Chen's trick for roasting ducks?

    Master Cang went to ask my good grandson about the kitchen stove, how did Cang Monan know?

    Thinking about it, it is also true that the work of the back kitchen mason is heavy, dirty and messy, and my good grandson will definitely not set foot there, so Master Cang's road of exploration is cut off like this.

    Six days later, Master Cang received three down jackets from Chen's Embroidery House.

    Cang Monan also received his two new down jackets and a quilt.

    Master Cang immediately took off his thick cloak and put on a down robe. After walking around a few times, he really felt light, flexible and warm, and was very satisfied.

    "Miss Chen, are you really not interested in cooperating with the Cang family on this dress?"

    "Although I really want to cooperate with Master Cang, it's just a pity that I can't do it right now. After all, you know that I'm focusing on the new restaurant now, and I don't have time to take care of it. It's rare that Master Cang invites you so kindly. I'm sorry!" Chen Nianguan smiled..

    Not to mention that she can already take orders to make this series of clothes at home, the first principle of her cooperation with people is to only make a living with people who she can rest assured to form an alliance with her intuition, or when the main business is in business, Take the lead by yourself.

    As for the partner of the Chenjia Pho branch, she found it after she took control of the headquarters store, and she was willing to give up the profit for the branch that was originally built by others, but she also controlled the supply of lifeblood sauce.

    But such as running a restaurant?????? etc. She has to spend her heart and soul to make a living, and she will definitely not share it equally with others.

    Naturally, the down jacket series who want to take the high-end route to earn a lot of money first.

    She is very wary of cooperating with Master Cang, first of all because Master Cang is an old fox, and she is definitely not as good as him when he talks about business and planning. Secondly, from the conditions that Master Cang put forward twice, it can be seen thatHe is not a master who is willing to suffer. If you cooperate with him, you will not know when you will be tricked by him every minute.

    In a word, she doesn't trust the master of the Cang family.

    Choosing a partner is also a skill!

    Otherwise, it is easy to make wedding dresses for others, and the entire business of oneself becomes someone else's.

    Seeing Chen Nianguan's reluctance, Master Cang naturally expressed his regret, and he couldn't understand the way of this down jacket for the time being, so he had to give up.

    After Cang Monan asked the boy to take away the custom-made clothes, seeing his grandfather beside him, he hesitated and asked her in a low voice, can this down jacket be used as a lady's dress?

    It turned out that I saw Chen Nianguan wearing the man's suit herself, and the clothes she took out several times were also the man's suit. I wonder if I can make two sets for my grandmother, aunt and sister.

    Chen Nianguan raised his hand, patted Cang Monan on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "If Mr. Cang wants something, I think it's not impossible for him to do it because of his partner's affection."

    You know, the imperial merchant has a lot of money in his hand.

    Cang Monan was overjoyed, and immediately continued to place the order.

    Master Cang saw the corners of his eyes twitching.

    This Master Chen, saying that he has no skill at all, does not make a living in this down jacket, but openly accepts an order from his grandson right in front of him, what is this doing?

    Dare I pull up my team early in the morning to make a living?

    No wonder you didn't consider cooperating with yourself!

    Master Cang suddenly felt that he still underestimated Mrs. Chen. If he moved around more diligently and made a better relationship with her when he first came to Beijing, would he be able to profit from this little girl's business?

    Then he looked at his grandson, and felt that the two sitting together looked so pleasing to the eye, and felt sorry.

    Hey, why is Mrs. Chen already married as a woman?

    It's a pity, otherwise, he would be a good match with his good grandson, and the Cang family could have another capable grandson-in-law!

    In that case, are you afraid that you won't be able to learn the technique that Mrs. Chen has at hand?

    Chen Nianguan took the order at one end, and at the other end, Liu Feng also delivered the down clothes newly ordered by Xiao Seventh Master and Liu Fuan to the Grand Buddhist Temple.

    But didn't meet Xiao Qiye coming to see Master Minghai to play chess, so put it at Master Minghai's place, and please Master Minghai hand it over to them when he sees Xiao Qiye.

    Then she turned around and gave him the custom-made clothes and quilt for Xin.

    After waiting for the heart to realize that Liu Feng's little brother spent money to make clothes and quilts for him, the moment he took it, his eyes turned red, and he almost threw himself on Liu Feng and shouted "good brother!"

    Brother Liu Feng, you are so kind!No wonder he was able to earn money from the Holy Spirit.

    Well, Liu Feng can not only make money from Emperor Hong, but also from Eunuch Liu.

    Two days later, Xiao Qiye came to see Master Minghai at the Great Buddha Temple, and took away the four sets of down jackets left by Liu Feng.

    Liu Fuan also took his own two sets of clothes and a quilt.

    After retiring from court the next day, Emperor Hong, who usually wore a cloak and walked back to the imperial study from the main hall, now only wore an ordinary dragon robe, was unexpectedly not cold or cold.

    As a pilgrim of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what precious leather jacket and cloak should not be worn?

    But it is not as light as the down clothes that are casually folded up and worn at the time.

    Emperor Hong felt better, and glanced sideways at Eunuch Liu, who was standing beside him: "Liu Fuan, are you wearing a down jacket today?"

    "Go back to Your Majesty, put it on, it's light and warm." Liu Fuan, who was also wearing a plain down jacket with no pattern, hurriedly said, "It's all thanks to Your Majesty that our family can wear such good clothes."

    "This down is good! It's not inferior to fox fur and mink fur for keeping warm, but it's much cheaper than fox fur and mink cloak, which cost thousands of taels. I don't know what material it's made of?"

    "The servant ordered Mr. Liu Xiaolang and Mrs. Chen to go to Shangyi Palace to explain a thing or two?"

    "Hey, that's not necessary. Didn't I take off all the clothes in front of me a while ago? Seeing that there is nothing dangerous hidden in the interlayer, only white feathers that are colorless, odorless and non-toxic? I'm afraid Liu Feng and her cousin, where did I find these little birds with white feathers, and came up with this method of tailoring clothes." Emperor Hong shook his head, "It's hard for the common people to find a job to earn some money.All gone? I wouldn’t want to cut off my own people’s money.”

    "I don't know, what kind of bird is this little bird? It's so lucky that Mr. Liu Feng can find it, and it's so clever that they found a way to make money!" Liu Fuan also laughed.

    As a handicapped person, his yang qi is not strong, and he is extremely afraid of the cold. When autumn and winter come, it is the most difficult time.

    Seeing Liu Feng selling down clothes to Emperor Hong the other day, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was something a glib little ruffian forced to sell.

    As a result, Emperor Hong came back to the palace and checked with the hidden guards that the clothes were not harmful, but at night he covered his head with the shabby cotton quilt, and he agreed that he would order four more from Liu Feng the next day.

    He couldn't help being tempted, this thing, not only master Ming Hai said it was good, but even His Majesty said it was worth the money, a good thing that the two big men agreed, he, Liu Fuan, naturally wanted to try it.

    So after telling Emperor Hong clearly, he also ordered two clothes and a quilt from Liu Feng.

    I used it last night, and after using it, felt soft and warm, more comfortable to sleep than any bear skin and tiger skin, and then put on the clothes, tsk tsk, but just one piece on the body is better than oneWith a thick cloak, even serving His Majesty, feel that skills should not be too light.

    With this down jacket, won't be afraid of catching cold wherever go with majesty in the future.

    When Liu Fuan was planning to accompany Emperor Hong to the Grand Buddhist Temple, he asked Mr. Liu Xiaoruffian, oh, no, it was Mr. Liu Xiaolang, and ordered a few more sets.

    If he can use it by himself, he can also give it to his godsons, as well as his colleagues who are also afraid of the cold like him.

    Liu Feng didn't think about it, he wanted to sell a few more sets to Xiao Seventh Master, but after Xiao Seventh Master bought four sets, he felt that it was enough. Instead, it was the big spender Liu Guanshi who secretly found him and let himHe made twenty pieces of clothes and five quilts.

    Although it is also said that the best fabrics are not used, and there is no need to use Shu brocade, but a piece of clothing is one hundred and fifty taels, that is three thousand taels, and a bed quilt is two hundred and fifty taels, that is one thousand five hundred taels.

    After deducting the minimum profit for his cousin, he can earn only three thousand taels!

    Uh-huh-huh, the little man, Liu Xiaofeng, the younger brother of the Liu family who only took half of the money, has suddenly become a rich son with a thousand taels of silver!

    The author has something to say:

    I will continue to work hard!!
