Chapter Twenty-Six: Duvets
"The style of the clothes is good, the next thing is to collect duck down to make down jackets, we have to make 3 good preparations before the winter comes, so that there will be no shortage of goods when it is sold in winter." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Bai Zhixiang instructed Xu Song, who was in charge of the shop, to be put on the agenda as well.
Bai Jinyu couldn't help but be a little excited when she saw the finished down jacket, she finally didn't have to wear a cotton jacket this winter, and it was inconvenient to practice calligraphy in a cotton jacket.
"The style of the duvet is so complicated, just do it according to the usual quilt style, fill it with duck down and sew it well, just replace the embroidery with the portrait I painted, and finally sew a few like a down jacket after sewing." Ding Yiyi said. "Some quilts can be folded at the edges, which makes them more ladylike."
"Well, I know, we will do what Miss Ding instructs, and we can make samples in about two days." The tailor estimated it and replied, after all, the quilt area is larger, and it does take some time to make a few samples.
"Miss Nadin, let's have lunch together! It's not too early, I'll do the east, let's go to Xiangmanlou, that restaurant is the property of the Bai family, and I just took Miss Ding over to try it today. Bai Zhixiang said, it's not early now, in order to see the down jacket has been delayed all morning, he should make Dongliu Ding clothes for lunch.
"Master Bai doesn't have to be so polite, just call me Yiyi, you are an elder, and I and Jinyu are classmates, I'll call you Uncle Bai, can you see it? Since Uncle Bai is willing to be the east, then I'm not welcome. Ding Yiyi is more sensitive to the word Miss, I used to hear people talk about Miss is the general term for girls in the industry, but the daughter of the official family of this era is called Miss, and she is powerless to change the title of this era.
"Okay, I'll call you Yiyi in the future, you will call me Uncle Bai, Jinyu, and you will take good care of Yiyi as a sister in the future." Bai Zhixiang felt that this little girl was not simple, and the relationship between them was brought closer in three or two sentences, and the future was limitless.
Bai Zhixiang took the two to Xiangmanlou, Xiangmanlou is on the left side of the crossroads of the densely populated central street, the signboard with gold paint on the black background hanging on the gatehouse is written in block letters with three big characters of Xiangmanlou, and the vermilion pillars on both sides of the door carry a couplet: the east and west are full of food, the north and the south are ashamed, and the wine is full of strange fragrance and fragrance from all over the world; Urban and rural guests, Chinese and foreign friends, the store is expected to look forward to Sanqin. When I entered the restaurant, I saw that it was full, and the business of this restaurant was really good, and the food must be good.
Seeing that it was Master Bai who came, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to take them to Bai Zhixiang's exclusive private room, and when they arrived in the private room, Xiao Er's feet poured three cups of hot tea neatly, and asked with a smile on his face: "Master, what dishes do you want?" I'll go to the kitchen and tell right away. "Bring up all the signature dishes of our restaurant, and then a pot of fruit wine, and a pot of daughter red." Bai Zhixiang commanded with a smile on his face. Xiao Er immediately went to the kitchen to report the food, thinking that the master must be in a good mood today, and the smile made people feel like a spring breeze.
While the three of them were waiting for the food, Bai Zhixiang smiled at Ding Yiyi and said, "Yiyi! As soon as I saw you, I fell in love with you, you see that we are these two sons, how about you being my daughter? Bai Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and she never heard her father and mother say that she wanted to recognize Ding Yiyi as her goddaughter, but does this mean that the two will meet often in the future? And that was exactly what he wanted. Ding Yiyi was also a little confused, admitting her daughter? If she remembers correctly, this goddaughter in the place where she used to live means that there was an illicit relationship, right? However, the ancients should still be pure-minded. "Uncle Bai, I have to go home and discuss this matter with my parents, after all, I can't do such a big thing by myself." Ding Yiyi's eyes rolled and said, she should go home and discuss it with her father and mother!
Bai Zhixiang couldn't help but glance at Ding Yiyi more, if others were afraid that they would have been happy to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, this girl actually has to think about it, this Bai family's great cause is well known, how many people want to have something to do with the Bai family, this little girl didn't even have a happy expression, sure enough, it was the person his son fancied, not moved by fame and fortune, he had to be optimistic about this future daughter-in-law, otherwise it would be a big loss for the Bai family to be abducted. Ding Yiyi didn't know that she had been targeted, she thought maybe she was too cute, so this white man wanted to recognize her as a daughter on the spur of the moment because he wanted a daughter too much!
"Dad, today's down jacket looks really good, you don't need to wear a thick cotton jacket in winter, look at today's maid wearing it for a while and sweat for a while, I think the clothes are still quite warm, this year's down jacket should sell well." Bai Jinyu took a sip of tea and said.
"Of course, the down jacket is our ...... Forehead! It's going to be a good one for us, it's cold in the winter, it's too bulky to wear a padded jacket, and everyone likes to wear light clothes, doesn't they? Ding Yiyi almost said that in their place, down jackets are indispensable clothes for everyone to survive the winter, but fortunately, they changed their words in time.
Bai Zhixiang frowned imperceptibly, isn't this Ding Yiyi a local? Then he denied his idea again, and he would investigate the people he dealt with, this Ding Yiyi is a little girl from the countryside, with no background, and her family also started by selling peanut oil, so there is nothing suspicious. "I think the duvet will also sell very well, I see that the patterns you painted are very cute, those ladies and ladies will definitely like it, plus some beautiful satin colors in the store, to make different colors of duvets, I will borrow your light this winter to make a fortune." Bai Zhixiang said with a smile, he is also very optimistic about the sales of down products.
"Uncle Bai said with a smile, we are mutually beneficial and win-win, so what is there to borrow." The corners of Ding Yiyi's mouth curled, and he said crisply. She also saw that the Bai family had the strength to cooperate with them, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't have a cloth source and no tailor at hand, she could do it herself, of course she knew how much benefit down products would bring now, which could be said to be huge profits.
Several people talked and laughed that the dishes had been served, including crystal elbows, glazed powder skin, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour carp, steamed bear paws and so on. Ding Yiyi has tasted every dish, she still prefers vegetarian dishes, but a table is almost full of meat dishes, each dish is delicious, worthy of the signature dish in the restaurant, although she doesn't like to eat meat, she also eats a lot of dishes, and her little belly is a little bulging. Bai Zhixiang saw that she was happy to eat, and persuaded her to eat more. The fruit wine is red, sweet to drink, with a fresh fragrance of fruit, Ding Yiyi drank two glasses and did not dare to drink it again, she had to go to a young lady's house in the afternoon to paint a portrait of her sister, she could not drink too much.
Bai Zhixiang reminded her not to forget to tell her family to do what he did for his daughter, and finally gave her a jar of fruit wine, and Ding Yiyi happily accepted it.
