How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 504: Explosive Popularity

The remaining artisans glanced at Pei Shu’er with some surprise, then obediently returned to the machines.

It’s said that it was this young girl who developed such a sophisticated loom.

Moreover, the samples produced by these machines are of high quality and beautiful colors.

Pei Shu’er immediately gave these fabrics to the old craftsmen.

The old craftsmen were quite pleased and accepted them quickly.

Tang Zan also said, "Go to Xuan Liu to collect your wages."

The steps of these old craftsmen were light; they had been working tirelessly these days.

Although the best beef tallow candles were used, which didn’t irritate the eyes and were bright enough, they were still very tired.

They were getting old and truly couldn’t endure it any longer.

Currently, the looms in the cloth shop were very outdated and inefficient, still requiring the use of shuttles, weaving little by little, not only inefficient but also exhausting.

When Pei Shu’er brought these machines over, everyone looked at these large iron lumps with puzzled expressions.

Pei Shu’er said, "These are the new looms I mentioned before, and next, I will explain to everyone how to use them."

The people here were all very trustworthy, and they had signed high-value confidentiality agreements.

In fact, even if they described these machines to outsiders, those people still wouldn’t be able to make them.

Some parts of Pei Shu’er’s machine were not made by her; they were dismantled from other machines and then assembled with the loom.

Pei Shu’er held a meeting with the people, explaining each point and detail to them thoroughly.

The machine seemed quite difficult at first, but after Pei Shuer’s explanation, everyone understood.

Pei Shu’er taught and simultaneously guided everyone in practice.

She also explained the operating methods for each type of fabric to everyone.

What these workers actually needed to do was lay the threads and step on the pedal. If changing the style, they could press a button and switch threads to directly produce different fabrics.

It was completely fool-proof operation.

With the previous looms, after a day of weaving, everyone felt that their hands and feet wouldn’t respond.

But now the machine was different; the pedal was easy to step on, and even after a day, it wasn’t so tiring.

Moreover, hardly any hand operation was needed, not even with the shuttle.

When the first batch of fabric was woven, everyone looked at the beautiful fabric in their hands, their eyes glowing.

Pei Shu’er laughed, "The fabric woven by everyone today is yours to keep."

Hearing this, everyone worked even harder, their feet tapping rapidly on the pedals, with two hundred machines operating simultaneously.

None in the group were lazy, and now, with Pei Shu’er’s encouragement, they put even more effort into their work.

Pei Shu’er found that in a four-hour shift, the most productive individual produced fifteen bolts of fabric.

And there were all kinds of fabric because the weaving method was actually not difficult; the pedal was the same, and the only requirement was pressing the button for the type of fabric to be woven.

Because of this, within one day, everyone was proficient.

It was so simple and thoroughly taught that if they hadn’t managed, they wouldn’t have been selected for the weaving factory in the first place.

However, since the raw materials were promised to them, they had to be given.

Besides, she actually needed these people to help with publicity.

Some people glanced at Pei Shu’er as they left with the fabric.

Pei Shu’er was amused by their looks.

"Alright, just take it with you. I said it’s yours, so it’s yours; no need to leave any for me."

"But from now on, all the fabric in the cloth shop belongs to the shop; you must not steal. If you want to buy, you can buy at the employee price."

After these words, everyone nodded.

The benefits were, you could say, very comprehensive.

They were getting such good monthly salary; they’d be mad to steal.

That day, when these people brought the fabric home, the impatient ones immediately cut the fabric and sewed clothes for themselves.

These fabrics were elegant, so the clothing made from them was unmistakably good.

The families with many women picked their favorite fabrics to sew pretty dresses for themselves.

Since most of these people came from poor families, as they wore these silk fabrics out, they noticed the envious gazes of the surrounding poorer folk.

Upon hearing that these fabrics were welfare benefits from Pei’s Cloth Shop, they were filled with envy and kept asking about Pei’s Cloth Shop.

The answer they received was that there were no job openings at the moment.

Jokingly, even if there were job openings for such good work, they’d surely recommend their relatives first.

And the wealthy families saw only the beauty of the fabric.

Some even stopped people to ask, "Where did you buy this fabric?"

Men and women smiled and replied, "It’s fabric from Pei’s Cloth Shop."

The rich family’s lady touched it and immediately noticed the fabric’s good texture – smooth to the touch, clearly high quality.

They were amazed to find the fabric was actually Double-sided Brocade.

Both sides had different patterns, yet they complemented each other perfectly.

After learning that Pei’s Cloth Shop hadn’t started operations yet, many anxious wealthy people spoke up.

"Do you have any unused fabric?"

"Yes, ma’am, there are two bolts left at home."

And the two bolts were bought...

for ten taels of silver.

Some who hadn’t had time to make clothing with their fabric saw how good it was and thought of exchanging it for money to add to the household.

Generally, silk sold for five taels of silver per bolt; someone sold theirs for five taels and it was quickly snapped up.

The clever ones cautiously raised the price to eight taels per bolt, and even then, it sold out fast.

They later regretted setting the price too low.

Those who took the fabric home gave it to their children, and those girls were naturally delighted, chattering about which styles to make.

Pei’s Cloth Shop’s reputation spread rapidly.

The people in Jiangnan quickly came to know of Pei’s Cloth Shop, famous for its smooth, soft fabrics, more stylish than those of the renowned Sun Family.

Pei’s Cloth Shop became famous even before it officially opened.

At the opening of the cloth shop, many people gathered in front of Pei’s store.

What they saw were mesmerizing fabrics filling the entire shop.

Each fabric was complementary, with gradient colors, attracting people to enter the store naturally.

In the center were some ready-to-wear garments, which were extraordinarily pretty.

The styles were novel, unseen before, and the stitches were fine.

Even the needlework present was smooth, perfectly matching the clothing.

On the opening day, the shop became an instant hit.

Fabrics, along with the clothes, were all purchased by customers.
