Chapter 188: Happy New Year
Shen Jiamao saw that she was smiling happily and his mood also became cheerful.
This trip was well worth it.
Two days later, Shen Jiamao returned to Bofeng County with full expectations.
As the weather gets colder, He Jialing's down jackets are launched.
For now, we have only made long padded jackets. All the Huang, Yang, He, and Jiang families have them, and the fabrics are all top-quality.
There are fifteen men's padded jackets, twenty women's padded jackets, and ten children's jackets for five to seven years old (same for boys and girls) put on the market for sale. They are made of medium to high-quality silk materials. In a place like Linhai Town, wealthy families will not lose face if they wear them.
The styles for adults and children are suitable for people with medium to plump body shapes.
People of other body shapes are welcome to book for next year.
Down jackets are sold in Yang Lijun's embroidery shop.
The price for both men's and women's items is five taels of silver each, and the price for children's items is three taels of silver each.
Huang Mulin sent someone to notify Mr. Jia, the Tang family, the Song family, and the Ge family. After receiving the notification, the four families hurried over.
However, each person is limited to one purchase.
Mr. Jia bought one for himself, and asked his servant to bring his wife to buy another one for women. He also asked his servant to buy two more men's clothes in his own name, and the maid of Mr. Jia's wife bought a women's one and took it home for the children.
Tang Qian bought one and used his servant's quota to buy one for Tang Yuhe. It didn't matter if it was a little long, he could ask the embroiderer to modify it. After buying it, he immediately went home to find Mu Ziqi, and asked the servant to notify Tang Jide and his wife to bring little Tang Lei, and hurried back to the embroidery shop to continue shopping.
The steward of the Song family was a little fat and the suit was not suitable for him, but he still bought one and sent it back to his family.
The Ge family’s steward had a suitable body shape, but he also planned to buy one and send it back home.
After trying it on, they realized that this padded jacket called a "down jacket" was warm and light, which broke the conventional wisdom.
This time, the Huang family is not dealing in food.
The Huang family is so smart!
He Jialing and Chen Xiujuan were worried that the down jackets were priced too high and would not sell well, but they did not expect that almost half of the jackets would be sold out in one go. They were extremely happy.
Soon, people who had good relations with Mr. Jia or the Tang family learned about this, and they came to try them on and immediately paid for them.
It was sold out in just an hour.
Some people who arrived late were filled with regret, and the manager of the embroidery shop hurried forward to comfort them, saying that they could order padded jackets to wear next year, but they had to pay one or two taels of silver as a deposit, leave their address and name, and the shop would come to measure their bodies and make custom jackets in the autumn of next year.
Some people thought it was feasible and made an immediate decision, while some planned to wait and see.
He Jialing was holding more than two hundred taels of silver in the backyard of the embroidery shop, tears streaming down her face.
Chen Xiujuan wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry, you should be happy. Now not only your father and your elder brother can make money, but we can also make a lot of money. Good days are still to come."
That's true.
As long as He Yian's furniture workshop opens, he will probably receive a lot of orders.
Fortunately, some of the long-term workers recruited by He Yian had good skills, and he asked them about their opinions. They were willing to sign contracts to do work for the workshop, so there was no need to worry about lack of manpower.
Huang Mulin reminded Chen Xiujuan that she should consider hiring an embroiderer or an apprentice, otherwise her reputation would be affected if she could not deliver the work.
Chen Xiujuan and He Jialing said that they would discuss it with Zheng Jiaojiao after returning home today and make a decision as soon as possible.
Huang Mulin wants to buy a shop on Beizheng Street.
After telling the broker, three people came to the door and said they wanted to sell the property.
I have to say, power is indeed a good thing.
Huang Mulin bought all the shops she wanted to sell, still adding 30% to the price. To express her gratitude, she would later give them a round table that was not available on the market, but it would take some time.
The three of them were so happy that they thanked him repeatedly and said goodbye.
I don’t make many down jackets. I mainly make sofa pillows, back cushions, bedside pillows and other fabric products for Huang Mulin’s new house.
The lining is made of scraps of cloth. I picked some thicker but not particularly hard cloth and cut them into pieces to stuff them in.
At first, Zheng Jiaojiao and others were very distressed, but later they gradually learned to be calm.
At the beginning of the year, Yang Lijun discussed with Huang Mulin and He Huiniang and selected all the bedding for the whole family, which were then made by an embroiderer from the capital.
The quilt core is made of silk, the value of which cannot be explained.
Later, Yang Hui and others arrived and asked for their opinions, and then they rushed to produce a few more sets.
At this moment, everything has been sent from the capital to Linhai Town. We are just waiting for the new house to be cleaned and arranged before we can move in.
On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the new house was completed.
Yang Lijun and others looked at the furniture displayed in the new house and thought that these would probably amaze everyone.
Huang Mulin asked housekeeper Zou to arrange for the servants to do a thorough cleaning of the house. The auspicious day to move into the new house is the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, so half a month is enough.
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qingfeng College has its annual holiday.
There are many students from outside the school. Some of them live far away from home, so Qingfeng College has an early Spring Festival holiday every year and students can return to school before the first day of February.
This is a unique practice of Qingfeng College.
Knowing that Huang Mulin and others were about to return from vacation, Huang Mulin discussed with He Huiniang to move An Ning and An Ran's things to her room and stay with her for a few days.
Huang Bo originally wanted to go to Bofeng County to pick up his sons, but after receiving a letter from Old Wang, he learned that Yu Zhenzhou would return to Xiushan Village to celebrate the New Year together this year and would take the fourth son of the Huang family with him.
When Yu Zhenzhou and the others returned to Linhai Town, the backyard of the cafeteria was very lively. There were greetings, joy, and chattering, which continued until the end of the day and then gradually quieted down.
The nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the Huang family moves into a new house.
This time the event was even more grand than the opening of a workshop.
In addition to Huang Mulin's relatives, those invited also included Lao Tian, Qian Donglai, Yan Bufan, villagers, village heads from all over the village, Mr. Jia, the Tang family and Tang San, Manager Song, Manager Ge, Shen Jiamao and other people who were related to him.
The Huang family held a three-day buffet, and anyone who came with the intention of blessing would be welcomed.
When Tang Jide and others saw the modern-style beds, sofas, tables, cabinets, chairs and other furniture in the house, as well as various soft pillows, cushions and other fabric products that they had never seen before, they were really excited and wished they could have a set for themselves.
"Wow!" Little boy Tang Lei happily jumped over and hugged a pillow made into a rabbit head, and couldn't let it go. "Sister! Rabbit! I like it!"
The elders couldn't help laughing. Wan Wenfang felt a little embarrassed. "Leilei, you can't be so rude."
As he said this, he was about to go forward and hug him.
"No, no." Tang Lei twisted his body and refused to get down. "Bunny, I want to play with you."
"Aunt Fang, it's okay, let Leilei play."
Huang Mulin came over, helped Tang Lei take off his shoes, and let him roll around on the sofa.
But he was very happy.
Everyone else was regretting, wondering why they didn't have a similar boy or girl to bring home to win over the relationship.
They were all taken away by the Tang family.
