Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 248 Workshop

But there is no other way. Although Hua Lei came here through time travel, she only had a tour guide before she traveled through time, and she really doesn't know how to make glass, so she can only open a few more wooden windows to increase the brightness of the room.

Because building a new house requires a lot of wood, Hua Lei originally wanted to go to the Xiu Ren Lumber Yard in the North City District to purchase some of the necessary wood, but Uncle Fu and Uncle Zhao wanted to save costs.

The two men took a group of strong men from the village to the uninhabited hill in the northern part of the city, cut a lot of wood, and loaded it back on a boat.

Then they peeled the bark and soaked it in the small river beside the village, saving Hualei a lot of wood and timber costs.

Hua Lei was not stingy and gave the money for buying wood to Uncle Fu and Uncle Zhao, asking them to take their brothers from the farm out for a drink.

Then, in early November, a professional house construction team came to Huaying Village and started to break ground and dig the foundation. Because Hualei wanted to complete the house before the New Year, the brick and tile construction team helped to find two other brick and tile construction teams to start the work together. The three brick and tile construction teams moved quickly and rushed to build the house.

After arranging the construction of the house at Huaying Manor, Hua Lei left Uncle Fu and Uncle Zhao to help at Huaying Manor, and then returned to Yuanying Manor to continue her busy work.

In mid-to-late November, Hualei made thousands of jars of fermented bean curd and sent them to Mobei, including both large and small jars, as well as hundreds of jars of pickled vegetables and blanched dried vegetables.

Of course, along with them went the last batch of down jackets, down pants, down vests, and sleeping bags made by Hualei based on the needs of Pei Laohou, which were specially customized according to the drawings. They also used dark colors such as khaki and black on one side and light colors such as white, beige, and lotus root on the other side, and sewed ropes of coarse cloth strips at both ends of the sleeping bags. They also explained how to use them and the tools that could be used with them.

This was after Hualei sent dried vegetables and fermented bean curd. Lord Pei wrote to Hualei, telling her that the goods she wanted were not only large in quantity but also urgent. He also told her not to advertise. He only wanted her to make as many as possible as soon as possible. It would be best if she could send a batch every month. It would be enough if she could send more than five batches in a row.

Hualei did not dare to neglect the border affairs, and she assigned more people to rush to produce another batch of goods that Pei Laohou wanted, and sent them to the ship. For these goods, even the rice wine that was delivered every time had to give way, because the ship could not hold it.

Because she was so busy, time passed very quickly. After sending off the boat to Mobei, Hualei still wandered around several villages every day. Although she didn't need to do many things herself, in order for everything to go smoothly, Hualei's overall arrangement was indispensable. Even Uncle Fu, Uncle Zhao, and Uncle Zheng were all ordered around by Hualei.

The production of down jackets and goose down quilts in Yuanying Village is still going on continuously. During this period, Hua Lei also takes time out from time to time to check and inspect the down group, and solves any problems in a timely manner.

Finally, in mid-December, goose down quilts finally appeared in Shangjing City. Before the goose down quilts were released, people would come to Hua Qianbian's shop to ask for them from time to time. By mid-December, goose down quilts were on sale in the bookstores in Qingyun Lane. The maids and servants sent by the aristocratic families bought them as if they were free, ten or twenty pieces at a time. Most of them were wealthy aristocratic families.

Some officials of lower ranks were much more low-key. They had no choice but to buy one or two pairs for themselves and their mothers because they were too expensive. Hualei had no choice but to put the goose down quilt on consignment at the bookstore in Qingyun Lane.

Hua Qianbian now sells mostly roast duck, braised food, tofu, cured meat, sausages and other edibles, as well as various agricultural products from Yuanying Village. It is impossible to put a goose down quilt in there, and it is not suitable, in case it is splashed with oil or something.

However, he had no other shop, so he could only send the works to the bookstore to sell, and he could only take out two or three samples, and the other finished products had to be temporarily placed in the study room at the back.

But I didn't expect that the goose down quilt business would be so good. It seems that I have to buy not only a house but also a shop. At that time, roast duck, braised meat and preserved food will still be sold in Hua Qianbian's shop. Goose down quilts, down vests, soap and other things will be sold in the new shop.

So she urgently went to find Chen, the manager of Sifangyuan, and expressed her desire to buy a shop. Fortunately, not long after, only half a month later, Chen, the manager, brought good news. There was a store for sale on Dongyang Street. It was a two-story store with a small courtyard at the back. Hualei immediately took Uncle Fu to see it.

Coincidentally, this shop was not far from the Agate Nishang Pavilion. It had two floors and was very large. The ground floor alone was nearly 80 square meters, plus the wooden second floor which was 60 square meters. There was also a small courtyard and three rooms behind the store. The total cost was 800 taels of silver, which was not expensive. Hua Lei made a prompt decision and paid the silver directly. She and Manager Chen went to the yamen to go through the transfer procedures.

I renovated the shop, painted the walls, cleaned the windows, cleaned it, and put up shelves, and the shop looked presentable again.

In order to name the shop, Hualei, who was not good at naming, thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good name, so he stole the name of a cartoon he had watched in his previous life and named the shop "Flower Fairy Shop". He wrote the words himself and asked a professional master to carve a wooden plaque and hung it up. He transferred Xile to be the shopkeeper and Xiaoxiao to be the cashier, and then the shop officially opened.

The "Flower Fairy" shop specializes in selling goose down quilts, as well as matching quilt covers. On the other side of the shop, there are all kinds of soaps, toothbrushes, quill pens, goose feather fans, etc. In this way, in less than two months, after buying Huayingzhuang, Hualei bought the Flower Fairy Shop.

Although it cost a lot of money, it was no longer a pressure for Hualei. Moreover, in this way, the output of her farm could finally be sold in different categories, and they no longer had to be crowded in Hua Qianbian's shop.

Hualei was very happy. She was even happier when she saw that the Flower Fairy Shop was full of customers as soon as it opened. She went back to Yuanying Manor to supervise the production of down jackets and goose down quilts.

That day, Hualei was watching the down jacket group filling their jackets. Tian Changshui came hurriedly to find his wife, Li. The two talked for a while beside the empty field, and Li's face flushed with anger, and she shouted, "How shameless."

Hua Lei was shocked and thought something had happened to the couple, so she went up to ask them. But when she asked, she became even more angry.
