Chapter 159 Batik
On this day, after the baby was firmly seated, Xichun took the maid nurse out and went out. She was going to see Taozi and the business situation of the shop.

"Sister Xichun, why are you here? Sit down quickly, sit down quickly, there is a fire in this room, it will be warmer." Taozi was explaining business matters to the shopkeeper. When he saw Xichun coming in, he hurriedly asked her to sit down.

"Haha, I'm not just busy at home. I wanted to come and see what you were doing. I also wanted to know about the shop and see if there were any problems." Xichun walked over quickly, which frightened Taozi. Got a kick.

"Yes, yes, but I can handle it myself, so you don't have to worry about it. But the local people have been squeezed out by the Long family in the past few years. They can't get much money out, and every household is tightening their belts. Live life.”

"That's true. Take your time. When the people become rich, the business in the stores will be better. By the way, I think many of the shops in the Long family have reopened. Who opened them?"

"Oh, those are several other families. They bought some shops registered by the county government, and some rented them. This is not because the Long family is no longer a scourge. They now dare to do business. It seems It’s much more lively than before.”

"Well, then I'm going to see if there's anything interesting. The customs here are quite different from those over there."

"Hey, okay, Sister Xichun, how about I ask the store clerk to show you around? They are familiar with the local dialect and can understand what the sellers are saying."

"Okay, then you arrange one for me, you guys just get busy first, I'll take a look and come back."

The boy's name was Xiaohu, and he slowly started wandering around this street with Xichun. He was a local and was recruited by Taozi after he recruited the shopkeepers.

"Madam, this is the fabric dyed by our locals. I don't know if you like it or not. I'll take you in to have a look." Xiaohu knew that this lady was the wife of the county magistrate and was also their boss, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect it. Be careful what you say.

"Then let's go in and have a look." Xichun heard that they dyed the materials themselves, and was quite curious to see what kind of materials they were.

"Did you dye all this yourself? It's so beautiful. How do you sell such fabrics?" Xichun entered the store and saw a lot of blue and white fabrics inside. The patterns on them were also colorful and had a unique flavor.

"Madam, he said that they dyed this at home. Many people in the area like to wear this kind of material in spring. It is cheaper than the cloth sold outside. However, this is the only color available at the moment. If Madam likes it, I can give you fifteen cents. One foot." Xiaohu acted as a translator.

"Then ask him if this can be dyed into other colors and patterns. If so, I want to buy it too."

"He said that if you want other patterns, you need to bring them over by yourself. However, he is not sure if other colors are possible at the moment. They are all used to wearing such colors. If you need them, he will go home and ask. Ask his wife."

"Okay, I'll bring designs another day. It would be nice if there were more colors. You ask him to pull a piece of cloth for me first, and I'll take it back to make clothes." Xichun saw the business opportunity in it, because his family Even as a cloth seller, Xichun naturally knows something about it.

At present, the most popular embroidery methods in the country are only the powerful embroidery methods in a few places. As for such colors and patterns, few people can dye them, and selling them can also make a lot of money.Fu Changfeng is worrying about how to improve the lives of local people these days, and now this batik is really a breakthrough.

After buying the fabric, Xichun went to look at other things. Sure enough, the manual work here is also good. The local things made of bamboo look unique and very suitable for the local natural environment. The backpacks and baskets look practical and exquisite. , if it can be sold outside, I think someone will buy it.

During this trip, Xichun gained a lot. Seeing that Taozi had been busy, the weather was getting cold. Taozi was planning to open a local hot pot restaurant, mainly for civilians, so she didn't have time to greet Xichun, so she asked about the store After giving some advice on the situation, I went home.

When Fu Changfeng saw her instructing the maids to make clothes, he thought it was because the month was getting older and he wanted to make loose clothes, so he didn't ask. However, after hearing about the bamboo weaving skills, Fu Changfeng went to the street specifically to make clothes. Take a look around.

Nowadays, business on the streets is booming, and the government encourages everyone to set up stalls without charging stall fees. Naturally, those people are doing their best to make more money during the New Year.

The government officials also began patrolling the streets, mainly to resolve disputes and check for potential safety hazards on the streets. This was Fu Changfeng's request. Those dangerous old houses must be managed well to avoid injuring anyone.

When Xichun walked in front of Fu Changfeng wearing a different style of clothes, his eyes lit up.

"Hey, such a color has rarely been seen before. I have only seen some women wearing it here, but the style is not like this. When you wear it like this, I really feel that my eyes are bright." Fu Changfeng praised repeatedly.

"Yeah, I think it looks good too. Take a look, is the craftsmanship like this different from that of other places? It can be said that each has its own characteristics. And I tried it, and the color won't fade, and it doesn't wear well when worn. The price drop is still a local product in our Shaoming County. If we can sell such a color, wouldn't the local economy be able to improve?"

"That's true. A few days ago, I saw you letting people make clothes, but I didn't expect this. It turns out that Madam has always cared about me. I was really touched."

"You are a person who never forgets to talk nonsense. I thought that if we can make more colors and patterns, then by next spring, we can use the name of the county government to open a dyeing workshop and cloth shop and hire local women. Come to dye cloth and sell such cloth to other places. Wouldn't this allow them to make money as well.

At the same time, the Yamen will also be able to spend more money. When you handle cases, you will be much more comfortable. If those people have difficulties at home, you can also give them some subsidies, which can also appease the people. "

"Yes, this is indeed a good thing. I will ask someone to help you with this matter. If it can be opened earlier, the people can live a better life earlier. I also plan to take good care of the local culture and education, and improve the reading ability. Wisely, only when more children are able to study can people in this place live a better life."

The two hit it off. This winter, Fu Changfeng was responsible for arranging the daily affairs of the county government, while Xichun was specifically responsible for this matter. The proprietress of that shop was also a great woman. She actually dyed other colors and what Xichun had chosen in the first place. style.
