Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 97

" Oh these " taking the packages from Lin Yan 's hand , Su Wan placed all of it on the table and said with a smile " these are the key to our success "
Madam Cheng didn't understand what Su Wan meant by this thus , Su Wan grinned and looked at Lin Yu who limped over to madam Cheng and showed her , his designs . Just one glance at his designs and Madam Cheng was ecstatic " Master your skills are really something ! " she exclaimed in praise " These novel designs and unique patterns if we really launch something like this in our shops we will soon take over the Long Feng embroidery shop -for such beautiful designs , I'm certain that those rich missies and masters would pay two hundreds copper coins with ease "
Two hundred copper coins was a feat to Madam Cheng now , in the past they used to sell clothes that used to sell for a tael or two but now their shop had hit rock bottom and Madam Cheng couldn't sell a piece of cloth for even twenty copper coins .
" what two hundred copper coins ? " said Su Wan frowning slightly , she had seen such uniques designs being sold for millions in the modern world , anything that was unique and new was tagged with a high price tag " I believe Lin Yu 's skills are worth more than this , Madam Cheng its better if you classify the embroidery in high to low category and sell it accordingly , and I think two hundred copper coins are too low , these designs are unique and will be sold first in our shop , if we don't make the most out of it in the starting it will be too late for us when other shops starts copying us , don't you think so ? "

The designs that Lin Yu drew were indeed unique and never seen but in the end they were just dresses , the town has a good number of expert embroiderers , it won't take too long for them to understand the basics and launch their own designs , so Su Wan wanted to make an early start , she was not being greedy but practical , because they will launch at least twenty to twenty five designs new designs , it will take a month or so for the embroiderers of the town to understand it .
" You are right , missy . How foolish of me " said Madam Cheng with an understanding smile " we will launch the one with the exquisite design and most beautiful embroidery at two taels while the simple one will be sold for eight hundred copper coins , will this be okay ?"
Su Wan nodded " but in case if two person wants to the same dress then let them bid for the dress and sell it to the one with the highest bid "
" I understand , missy " Madam Cheng thought that Su Wan was thinking too far ahead , after all these were just clothes who will try to make a bid for it . But she didn't say anything in case Su Wan called her a pessimist .
Su Wan understood the sceptical expression of madam Cheng but didn't say anything . She was in-fact quite certain that their clothes will really create an uproar in the market for some while , as for thinking to far ahead ? The rich missies here actually spends one tael of silver to buy a small bottle of infused oil will they not spend a tael for a new dress that was both fashionable and beautiful ?
Instead Su Wan was quite worried that in the upcoming days , Lin Yu had to work just as hard as Lin Yan .

" and make the girls that work on these dresses sign a contract , with the clause that if they teach the designs to others without our knowledge , then they will be fined five taels and sold " Su Wan knew that this was a little cruel but she wanted to delay the plagiarism as much as possible , this era had no ' copyright ' , if someone liked their designs and wanted to make it from the scratch with his own flare added to it , there was nothing they could do but even so , Su Wan didn't want to make it easier for them .
" I understand , missy " Madam Cheng took this seriously , she knew that the dresses her master and mistress came up with must have taken a lot of time and energy , and she also knew how cut throat the competition was in the market , after Shen Shui died , the flare that their shop died as well , Long Feng shop poached their seamstresses , who didn't want to waste their youth and skills in the shop that was going down hill .
Those seamstresses never once thought that it was Shen Shui who taught them their skills which they so happily imparted to the Long Feng shop - heh , those greedy and selfish women would have never thought that their Shan Shui might make a come back !
Madam Cheng gripped on the paintings of dresses that Lin Yu brought and took him inside to the room where they made clothes . Lin Yu was hesitant at first seeing this Madam Cheng didn't force him instead left it to Su Wan who patted his shoulder and encouraged him " Yu , from now on this shop of my late mother will be relying on you , I know you will do an excellent work here , don't worry if you mess up , its alright . But never give up okay ? Or else I will be angry "
Lin Yu was an introvert , a bit fearful and lacked confidence , if he made a mistake instead of correcting it , he will try to patch things up and never touch the thing he made mistake in ever again. Su Wan didn't want him to do so in embroidery as well , she didn't want him to give up designing clothes just because he made a mistake or ruined the piece of cloth he was working on , that would just backfire and their efforts will go down the drain , so its better to encourage and give Lin Yu a push in case he ever thinks about quitting .
Lin Yu hesitated but nodded , he understood that if he wanted to break away from his shell he could no longer run away from his mistakes " I understand , I won't give up . I will try to bring this shop to a new height " because only then he will able to walk beside Su Wan with his head held high .
Su Wan was really happy that he actually promised to try his best , she muttered good three times and ruffled Lin Yu 's hair just like Lin Yan .

8 92They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.
