Chapter 180 The women of the Li family open a shop together
Li Yuer had nothing to do, so she made a few shell silk flowers according to her memories of her previous life. The cloth base was made from scraps of cloth she had bought from Liuji Cloth Pile before.
Fan and her friends picked out a lot of large pieces of cotton cloth to use as diapers for the manatees. There were also a lot of small pieces of silk in there. They were not big enough to make a purse, but they were just right for making silk flowers when pieced together.
The cloth base is dotted with beautiful shells, which is both beautiful and unique.
As soon as Li Meier came back, she saw the silk flowers on the table and said happily, "Wow! So many silk flowers, so beautiful, where did they come from?"
Li Yuer said, "You can pick whatever I made, and let them pick the rest."
"Yu Baoer, you are the best to me. Hehehe, this silk flower is so beautiful. If I can sell it, I will definitely make money."
Li Meir immediately fell in love with a pink silk flower. The pink silk base was folded into the shape of a peony flower, with a pink conch dotted in the center, which looked delicate and special.
This goes perfectly with her pink skirt.
Seeing that she liked it, Li Yuer said, "Okay, when the shop on the pier is built, you can sell shell jewelry there."
"That's impossible. This thing was your idea. How can I take it for free?" Although she liked it, she was not a greedy person. Li Yu'er had treated them very well, and she couldn't ask for more.
Li Yuer picked up a silk flower and compared it to her head, saying, "This one is also beautiful, you can keep this one too. This kind of shell jewelry is easy to imitate, and only by continuous innovation can we make a profit. Otherwise, our women can open a jewelry store together. It cannot be compared with Linglongfang, and the target customers are ordinary women.
You will invest in the shop, and you will take 30%, and the rest will be divided according to the investment ratio."
"This is a good idea, but will Grandpa and the others agree?"
Li Yuer winked at her, "Grandma agreed, do you think Grandpa would dare to disagree?"
Li Meier smiled, "That's true."
After dinner, Li Meir told Old Lady Cai about opening a shop, and Old Lady Cai gathered the Li family in the east wing.
Of course, Li Yuer said it very nicely, "Our Li family's life is getting better and better. The women should have some dowries of their own, so that they will not lose face for the Li family in the future and can bring honor to the grandfathers."
Of course Old Man Li agreed. He lived on his wife's dowry in the first half of his life. Now that he had money in the second half, he naturally couldn't treat his wife, who had shared his hardships with him, badly.
"I think it's okay. Juanzi and Zhaodi have worked hard to raise children for this family, so they should be rewarded."
Since both parents agreed and they were the beneficiaries, there was no reason for Li Lao Da and Li Lao Er to object.
Old Madam Cai glanced at Li Lao San, who had nothing to do with the matter, and said, "Since the wives and daughters of each family have a share, the share of Lao San's wife will be placed in my hands first. In the future, if Lao San's wife makes contributions to our Li family, she will naturally be given the management. If she is not suitable for management, it will be left to Lao San's daughter."
As expected, the old ones are the most experienced, and this is the art of saying: the third son's wife should have a share, but whether she can get it depends on her performance. If she does not perform well, the share will not be taken back to other families, but will be left to Li Laosan's daughter.
This is fair, so naturally no one objects.
Li Yuer explained her plan: "To open a shop together, we need to contribute capital. Sister Meier will provide a shop at the dock. I plan to give her 30% of the shares directly, and the rest will be distributed according to everyone's investment. Of course, I suggest that everyone share it equally."
Old Mrs. Cai nodded and said, "It should be divided equally. Yu Baoer, you can do the math later. Each family should pay what they should pay. Then divide it equally. Third brother, you should pay your wife's share first."
Li Laosan certainly had no objection. Even if he didn't have a wife in the future, it was still his money that was funded.
Li Yuer said: "Then we will have to collect shells regularly in the future. This job can be handed over to my uncle's family."
When Old Mrs. Cai looked at Li Yuer, her eyes were full of relief. This granddaughter was not only smart, but also grateful. She was so lovable.
"Yu Bao'er is a good one."
After finishing the business, Li Meier took out the silk flowers made by Li Yuer and said, "Just take a look at how well these silk flowers are made. Is this a profitable business?"
The silk flowers decorated with shells were delicate and beautiful, and immediately attracted the attention of women. Even men couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Grandma, you choose first."
Li Meir pushed the silk flower in front of Old Mrs. Cai.
"I'm already so old, why am I still wearing flowers? It's just making people laugh at me."
Having said that, her children and grandchildren respect her and think of her everywhere. Which elder would not be happy with such love and affection?
Old man Li suddenly said, "Why can't I wear this? I see a lot of older women in this town wearing flowers."
Mrs. Cai immediately gave him a sharp look and said, "It seems like you often look at other people."
Old man Li was stunned and said quickly: "No, no, don't talk nonsense in front of your children and grandchildren. I just saw that they all have it, and I feel sad when I think that you don't have it."
Mrs. Cai was satisfied now. Li Meir smiled at Li Yuer teasingly, picked up a contrasting red and gold silk flower, and held it on Mrs. Cai's head.
"Look, this color is both calm and noble. Isn't it just right for grandma?"
"You know what, this color looks really good on mom. It makes her look whiter." Fan said sincerely.
Old Mrs. Cai took the silk flower with satisfaction and said, "Since my children and grandchildren are so filial, I won't be so hypocritical. You guys can pick one quickly."
Finally, Fan picked a blue and white magnolia silk flower.
Zhang picked out a silk flower with khaki and dark blue colors.
Li Yuer picked up a flower that was a combination of light yellow and light pink.
There were three flowers left, goose yellow, lavender and lake blue. Li Meir gave one to each of Li Laosan's three brothers.
"Take it. You can give it to your aunt, sister-in-law, and brother and sister-in-law later."
Boss Li chuckled twice in embarrassment and put the things away. He had heard from his grandmother that she would go to the Wen family of the tofu shop to propose marriage for him in a few days. He had seen Wen Miaomiao before, and she was pretty and hardworking. If it weren't for the better life at home now and his aunt's help in getting him in touch, he would never have been able to marry such a good wife.
He kept the silk flower for his wife to wear.
Li Erlang took the silk flower casually and put it in his arms, not caring about whether it would be crushed or not.
Li Laosan had no one to deliver the gift to, so he just took it and put it away.
Everyone dispersed happily. Li Laosan mentioned the dock project to Li Yuer, "Everyone is very motivated. I estimate that the garbage can be disposed of by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Li Yuer had not expected that the workers would work so fast in the middle of winter. The villagers of Tuwozi were honest in their work, so he said, "Okay, I'll go to the stonemason with my brother tomorrow to see that we need stone bricks to build the dock. If that doesn't work, we can use blue bricks."
"Blue bricks are expensive and not cost-effective. It's better to use stone bricks as much as possible."
After I have something to do, I am busy for several days.
