Chapter 428: Yisi Dream Journey
After successfully establishing a private school and paving the way for children of farmhands to learn, Chen Jia and Chen Jue did not stop moving forward. They keenly perceived new business opportunities and ways to help people - they established a clothing store to teach embroiderers how to weave clothes, and at the same time set up a silkworm breeding workshop to sell silk. This would not only create more economic benefits, but also provide more job opportunities for the embroiderers in the manor and the surrounding people.
On this day, Chen Jia and Chen Jue were in the study room of the manor, with various fabric samples and clothing design sketches spread out on the table. Chen Jia picked up a piece of soft silk and gently stroked it, with a twinkle in her eyes, and said to Chen Jue: "My husband, look at the texture of this silk, it is delicate and smooth, and the colors are bright. I thought that we could set up a clothing store and let the embroiderers make beautiful clothes with such good fabrics, which can not only meet the market demand, but also allow the embroiderers to earn pocket money and improve their lives."
Chen Jue nodded slightly, his eyes also focused on the fabric, and said: "Madam, your idea is very good. Nowadays, people have higher and higher requirements for the quality and style of clothes. If our clothing store can launch clothes with novel styles and fine workmanship, it will definitely occupy a place in the market. Moreover, teaching embroiderers to weave clothes can also make better use of their skills."
Chen Jia clapped her hands gently, her eyes full of anticipation: "Husband, then we can start by recruiting embroiderers, selecting those women who have basic skills and are willing to learn new techniques. Then we can invite some experienced tailors to teach them and impart the latest cutting and sewing techniques."
Chen Jue put his arm around Chen Jia's shoulders and said gently, "My lady, your arrangements are very thorough. We can also send people to various places to purchase high-quality fabrics. In addition to silk, we need to prepare fabrics of different materials such as cotton and linen to meet the needs of different customers."
The two quickly took action. Chen Jia was personally responsible for recruiting embroiderers. She posted a notice at the entrance of the manor, attracting many skillful women to sign up. Chen Jia carefully screened and talked with each woman who came to sign up to understand their skills and willingness.
A young woman stood nervously in front of Chen Jia and said, "Mrs. Chen, I have learned embroidery from my mother since I was a child. I have some basic skills and I really want to join a garment shop and make money with my skills."
Chen Jia looked at her with a smile and said gently, "Girl, how is your craft? Can you show it to me? Our garment shop needs embroiderers with superb skills and who are willing to learn."
The woman nodded, picked up the needle and thread and the cloth, and skillfully embroidered a lifelike flower. Chen Jia looked at the woman's work and nodded with satisfaction: "Girl, your craftsmanship is good. Welcome to join our clothing store. In the future, we will have a master to teach you new skills. I hope you can continue to improve."
After some selection, Chen Jia recruited a group of excellent embroiderers. At the same time, Chen Jue also invited several experienced tailors. After the tailors arrived at the manor, Chen Jia and Chen Jue warmly welcomed them and explained in detail the planning and expectations of the garment hall.
Chen Jia said to the tailors earnestly: "Masters, these embroiderers have great potential. I hope you can teach them carefully and pass on your skills and experience to them. Our clothing store should make clothes with novel styles and high quality to make our brand famous."
A tailor nodded and said, "Mrs. Chen, please rest assured. We will do our best to train these embroiderers to become excellent garment makers."
Under the guidance of the tailor masters, the embroiderers began their intense and fulfilling study. Chen Jia and Chen Jue often came to the garment shop to follow the embroiderers' learning progress. One day, Chen Jia saw an embroiderer's needlework was a little unfamiliar when she was sewing clothes, so she walked up to her and said patiently: "Girl, look at this needlework. If you move the needle like this, the thread will be smoother and the clothes will look better. Come on, try it again."
The embroiderer followed Chen Jia's instructions and tried again, and indeed made some progress. Chen Jue, on the other hand, focused on the design and style of the clothes. He said to a tailor, "Master, our clothes must not only be made with fine workmanship, but also have to keep up with the trend. We can refer to some fashionable styles in Beijing and then innovate based on our own characteristics."
As time went by, the embroiderers' skills became more sophisticated, and the clothing store began to produce exquisite clothes. Chen Jia looked at these beautiful clothes and said to Chen Jue, "My husband, look at these clothes. They are exquisitely embroidered and novel in style. They will definitely be loved by customers. We can sell them at the local market first to see the market's reaction."
Chen Jue smiled and said, "Madam, your idea is right. We can also accept customization to meet the personalized needs of different customers."
The business of the garment shop gradually became prosperous, and the embroiderers also earned a lot of pocket money through their skills, and their lives were significantly improved. Seeing this, Chen Jia and Chen Jue were filled with satisfaction.
However, they were not satisfied with this. Chen Jia had a new idea. She said to Chen Jue, "Husband, we need a lot of fabrics, especially silk, to make clothes. I thought we could set up a silkworm farm and raise silkworms and draw silk ourselves. This would not only ensure the quality of the silk, but also reduce costs and open up a new business channel to sell silk."
Chen Jue's eyes lit up and he said, "Madam, your ideas are always full of creativity. The establishment of a silkworm farm does have many benefits. We can invite some experienced silkworm breeders to give us guidance and learn advanced silkworm breeding techniques."
The two began to prepare for the silkworm breeding workshop. They chose a suitable site, built a silkworm house, purchased silkworm seeds and related equipment. Chen Jia personally visited several experienced silkworm breeders to ask them for advice on silkworm breeding techniques and precautions.
Chen Jia said to a silkworm farmer sincerely: "Master, we want to set up a silkworm farm, but we don't know much about silkworm breeding technology. I hope you can pass on some experience and guide us on how to raise silkworms well and improve the quality of silk."
The silkworm farmer smiled and said, "Mrs. Chen, raising silkworms requires patience and carefulness. From the hatching and feeding of silkworms to the cocooning and spinning of silk, every step is critical. I can pass on my experience to you, but you also have to study and practice with all your heart."
Under the guidance of the silkworm breeder, Chen Jia and Chen Jue began to try to raise silkworms. Every day they went to the silkworm room to check on the growth of the silkworms, and carefully fed and cared for them. Chen Jia watched the silkworms grow day by day, and her heart was full of expectations: "Husband, look at these silkworms, they are growing so well. When they make cocoons and spin silk, we can harvest high-quality silk."
Chen Jue nodded and said, "Madam, this is the result of our hard work. We must continue to learn and improve to improve the efficiency of silkworm breeding and the quality of silk."
After a period of hard work, the silkworm farm finally harvested the first batch of silk. Looking at the white and soft silk, Chen Jia and Chen Jue were filled with joy. Chen Jia said, "Husband, our silkworm farm is a success! These silks can be used to make better clothes, or they can be sold to bring us more profits."
Chen Jue smiled and said, "My lady, this is just the beginning. We must continue to improve the management of the garment shop and the silkworm farm, so that they can become the pillar industries of our manor and bring welfare to more people."
With the efforts of Chen Jia and Chen Jue, the clothing store and the silkworm farm have continued to grow and develop. The clothing styles of the clothing store are becoming more and more diverse, and the quality is getting better and better, which has been loved by more and more customers; the silk production and quality of the silkworm farm have also been continuously improved, winning a good reputation in the market. All of this is inseparable from the wisdom, hard work and care of others of Chen Jia and Chen Jue. They continue to move forward on the road of business, and also bring more hope and opportunities to the people around them.
