Chapter 435: Shadow of the Veil
After successfully launching a series of popular bell decorations that brought rich profits to the manor, Chen Jia and Chen Jue were not satisfied. They turned their attention to the field of home textiles and keenly noticed the market demand for thin and beautiful bed curtains, window curtains and gauze curtains. Therefore, they decided to bring the long-term workers and their families to participate in the production of these home textile products, making them new best-sellers in the manor and further increasing income.
Early that morning, soft sunlight shone through the window into Chen Jia and Chen Jue's bedroom, illuminating the exquisite bedding on the bed. Chen Jia slowly woke up from her sleep, her eyes fell on the window, looking at the slightly old curtains, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She turned her head to look at Chen Jue beside her, gently pushed him, and said, "Husband, look at our curtains, aren't they a bit monotonous? I've noticed recently that people's aesthetic taste for home textiles is getting higher and higher, and they all like thin and beautiful styles. We have so many clever farmhands and their families in our manor, why not let them make some exquisite bed curtains, window curtains and gauze curtains together?"
Chen Jue rubbed his eyes, stood up slightly, followed Chen Jia's gaze, nodded and said, "Madam, your idea is very insightful. Nowadays, people pursue quality of life and are more particular about home decoration. If we can make home textile products with novel styles and high quality, we will definitely occupy a place in the market. Moreover, letting the family members of the long-term workers participate in the production can not only give full play to their skills, but also increase their income, killing two birds with one stone."
Chen Jia leaned gently on Chen Jue's shoulder and said thoughtfully: "My husband, the choice of fabrics is crucial in making these home textile products. I think we can use light and breathable fabrics such as silk and gauze. They are not only comfortable to the touch, but also have a good drape and can create a flowing beauty. Like silk, it has a soft luster and rich colors, which can meet the preferences of different customers."
Chen Jue put his arm around Chen Jia's shoulders and said, "My lady, you are right. In addition to fabrics, design cannot be ignored. We can refer to some popular elements, such as lace and embroidery patterns, to make the bed curtains and window curtains more refined. For the gauze curtains, we can design them in a multi-layered style to increase the layering and romantic atmosphere of the space."
Chen Jia's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "My husband, your idea is great! We can also design different styles according to different room styles. For example, the bed curtains in the bedroom can be designed to be warm and romantic, using soft tones such as pink and purple, with floral embroidery; the window curtains in the living room can be designed to be elegant and simple, using plain silk with delicate tassels."
Chen Jue smiled and nodded, saying, "Madam, you are always so thoughtful. Let's sort out these ideas first, then call a meeting of the long-term workers' families, tell them our plan, and see their thoughts and suggestions."
Afterwards, Chen Jia and Chen Jue came to the open space of the manor and gathered the families of the farmhands. Chen Jia looked at the familiar faces in front of her and said with a smile: "Sisters, I called you all here today to discuss something with you. We plan to make some thin and beautiful bed curtains, window curtains and gauze curtains and sell them on the market. We know that everyone is clever and dexterous, and we hope that everyone can participate in the production. This will not only provide our manor with an additional source of income, but also increase everyone's income."
The wife of a farmhand said with some concern: "Mrs. Chen, although we know some needlework, can we make such exquisite home textile products?"
Chen Jia walked up to her, held her hand, and said gently, "Don't worry, sister. We will invite professional masters to guide you, and we will always be there to assist during the production process. As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely be able to make beautiful products."
Another family member said, "Mrs. Chen, what about the materials for making these things?"
Chen Jue said: "Don't worry about this, we will purchase high-quality fabrics and accessories in a unified manner. You just need to concentrate on learning the production process."
With the encouragement of Chen Jia and Chen Jue, the long-term workers' families expressed their willingness to participate. Later, Chen Jia and Chen Jue invited an experienced home textile master to start training the families.
The master patiently explained the characteristics of the fabrics and cutting techniques: "Sisters, the silk and gauze fabrics we chose this time are relatively delicate. You must be careful when cutting and try to keep the edges neat. In addition, different fabrics require different stitches when sewing, so everyone should study carefully."
When a family member encountered difficulties while practicing cutting, Chen Jia walked up to her and said softly, "Girl, look, you have to use sharp scissors and cut slowly along the drawn lines. Don't be in a hurry. Come, I'll show you again."
Under the guidance of the master and Chen Jia, the families gradually mastered the basic skills of production. Chen Jia and Chen Jue also constantly provided design inspiration and suggestions for everyone.
Chen Jia looked at the semi-finished products made by everyone and said, "Sisters, we can add some small decorations to these bed curtains and window curtains, such as pearls and crystal pendants, to make them more gorgeous."
A family member said, "Mrs. Chen, this is a good idea, but how can we fix these small decorations so that they don't fall off?"
Chen Jue said on the side: "We can use strong thin thread to sew, and sew a few more stitches to ensure it is firm. Or we can use some professional glue, but be careful to choose products that will not damage the fabric."
As time went by, the first batch of bed curtains, window curtains and tulle curtains were completed. Chen Jia and Chen Jue looked at these exquisite products with great joy in their hearts.
Chen Jia picked up a piece of gauze curtain, shook it gently, looked at the flowing gauze curtain, and said to Chen Jue: "Husband, look at these products, they are really beautiful. Let's show them to the people in the village first, listen to their opinions, and then make improvements."
Chen Jue nodded and said, "Madam, let's do this. We can also take these products to some home textile stores in the city to see if there are any merchants willing to sell them on our behalf."
They showed these home textile products to the people in the village, and everyone praised them. A young girl said, "Mrs. Chen, this bed curtain is so beautiful. If I put it in my room, I will definitely feel like living in a fairyland."
After getting everyone's approval, Chen Jia and Chen Jue brought their products to the city and visited some home textile stores. The owner of a store looked at these products, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, your home textile products are novel in style and good in quality. We are willing to sell them on your behalf."
As the products sold, more and more people knew about the home textile products made by Chenjia and Chenjue Manor. Orders gradually increased, and the families of the farmhands became busier, but their faces were filled with joyful smiles.
A family member happily said to Chen Jia and Chen Jue: "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, thank you for giving us this opportunity. Now our income is much higher than before, and our life is getting better and better."
Chen Jia smiled and said: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. We will continue to work hard to launch more and better products to make our manor and everyone's life better and better."
Chen Jue also said: "Yes, we must continue to innovate to meet the needs of the market. Next, we can also consider making some matching pillows and cushions to make our home textile products more diverse."
Under the leadership of Chen Jia and Chen Jue, the manor's home textile industry has flourished and has become another important pillar of the manor's economy. They not only provide more income opportunities for the families of long-term workers, but also bring high-quality and beautiful home textile products to the market, winning a good reputation. Their innovation and hard work also make the manor's future full of infinite possibilities.
