"Shopkeeper, when my sister came from home today, she saw someone take a particularly beautiful thing and asked her where she bought it, and then bought one according to the Yulong Cloth Village she said, so I came a little late, please bear with me." Mama Li, the embroiderer of the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop, looked apologetic.

"Oh, Sister Li, what beautiful things have you bought, mysterious? Show me a lot of them. Gu Ruyi looked at her with her hands behind her back, very curious.

Mama Li unexpectedly lifted a ribbon embroidered pillow in front of Gu Ruyi, and immediately broke out with a scream of more than 780 decibels, and it turned out that the pillow was snatched away by Gu Ruyi.

"My dear grandmother, is this embroidery? How can it come to life? Gu Ruyi's breath was suffocated, and he couldn't take his eyes off the pale pink begonias embroidered on the pure black velvet base cloth, and felt that it was not embroidered on it but pasted on it. It didn't stick to it and it was warped again. Where did you buy it, Sister Li, tell me! Gu Ruyi, who has always placed the shopkeeper in front of Mama Li, opened up to Mama Li, who was not much older than her, today.

"It's in Yulong Cloth Village, you can buy it right now, and you may still be able to buy it."

"Sister Li, you're too boring, why don't you just bring me one back?"

"It's not that my sister won't bring it to you, if it's allowed, my sister wants to bring one for every sister in the store. There is a limited supply, and each person can only sell it to one at a time, and my sister wants to stand again and bring back one for the shopkeeper, but isn't that a delay in doing things? ”

"Sister Li, don't nag, the shopkeeper is out." Another embroiderer reminded Mama Li.

"This man is really, when he hears something new, his head grows horns."

It is about seven or eight miles from Andingmen Yulong Buzhuang. Gu Ruyi was anxious to hire a car and ran to Yulong Buzhuang, and saw where someone was standing in line? When I asked again, it was gone. I want to go to the Nalan Department Store, but I guess it's gone.

"Shopkeeper, what is your name and that, when will the embroidery like the real flower still arrive?" Gu Ruyi knew that it was gone, and asked Chen Ruiqian.

"You're asking about ribbon embroidery, right? It is not good when the goods will arrive, and we will sell them when the owner will deliver them. Chen Ruiqian's temper is getting better and better.

Gu Ruyi thought, isn't this nonsense. But he didn't show any displeasure, but continued to inquire with a smile on his face: "What did you just say about ribbon embroidery?" As the name suggests, it's embroidered with ribbons? ”

"This sister is very expert when it comes to embroidery. It was embroidered with a ribbon, not an embroidery thread, but a ribbon as wide as a little finger. "Chen Ruiqian is not divulging trade secrets, and people who buy ribbon embroidery can tell at a glance that it is not embroidered with threads, so there is no need to hide anything.

Gu Ruyi was like an empowerment, and gave Chen Ruiqian a blessing: "Thank you Chen shopkeeper." Then he hurried away.

"Sister Li, can you show my sister the pillow you bought?"

"Well said, well said." Mama Li was generous and handed the pillow to the shopkeeper.

Gu Ruyi was not polite, and took it and began to study. It is very easy to listen to what the shopkeeper Chen said, it is embroidered with a belt the width of a little finger. However, if you look closely, you will be dumbfounded: the ribbon is embroidered correctly, but the two sides of a finger-wide belt are single, that is, the edge that measures the length when buying cloth, and there is no stubble on both sides! In addition, the embroidered cloth is not an ordinary cloth, and the eyelets between the cloth and the cloth are very large, so that the belt can pass through, and the cloth that is too dense cannot be worn. There is also a needle to do this kind of embroidery, which must be a large needle eye, otherwise how can the strap pass through the needle eye? There is also the tip of the embroidery needle that is not very sharp for sewing clothes, and not every strap is worn flat, besides, this embroidery seems to have many kinds of stitches, flexible and changeable, so lifelike!

Gu Ruyi was deflated and disappointed, and he never had such a strong sense of loss. Xi Mama is so right, they are all made of special tools and materials bought by the side Fujin of Rui Wangfu, and others want to follow suit, but I am afraid there is no door.

"I said, shopkeeper, what are you doing? What did you do to your sister's pillow? ”

Mama Li was very dissatisfied with the tiger and wolf research method of the shopkeeper Gu, and a pillow made a madman's head: all the flowers were deformed and fluffy.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, when I buy a new one, I'll pay it back to you, sell me this one of yours, tell me how much silver, I'll give it to you."

Mama Li, who is in her thirties, is also the same as the little girl, her mouth is always high, venting her strong dissatisfaction. The heart said, the shopkeeper is great, and the newly bought beloved things you say will be left behind? But she's the shopkeeper, so it's too serious and doesn't seem to be like that. Then he said, "You don't have to be so anxious, maybe that Mrs. Suo can bring some of the ribbon embroidery from the house to sell to us." Didn't you sell those handbags in our store? It must be that those girls in the house are too busy. ”

"yes, why didn't I remember? I'm sorry, Sister Li, I'm too anxious, I'll go back and pay you a bigger and better-looking one. ”

Mama Li is not easy to say.

Sure enough, the next day, Mama Lin brought someone to send ribbon embroidery. Ten were sent at a time, both big and small, and the top ones were so good-looking. The price list was also given to Gu Ruyi. Gu Ruyi wrote the receipt, and then settled the accounts of the fabric products sold last time, and Mama Lin took people back.

Gu Ruyi asked Mama Li to pick a satisfactory ribbon embroidery and top the account, so she chose one she liked to study. Looking at it this way, I can figure out a little taste, but that ribbon was not sold in the Qing Dynasty!

Nalan Department Store, Yulong Cloth Village, Dong Ji Cloth Village, Ruyi Embroidery Workshop four outlets at the same time in the capital in different locations to sell ribbon embroidery, product categories include pillows, pillows, pockets, handbags, purses, sachets, handkerchiefs, tablecloths, picture frames, pillow tops, chairs, aprons and so on. The number of goods is not much, and by the time the ladies, ladies, and young grandmothers of large families who don't go out know the news, they will have already been sold out. Some of those who have seen this kind of product have not bought it, and they almost beat their chests. There were also seven or eight-year-old girls who didn't buy wow wow and cried. The fabrics sold by these shops are becoming more and more exquisite and beautiful, and the prices are also very expensive. Almost all of the people who buy this kind of goods are wealthy families, merchants, scholars, and eunuchs.

Yun'er, who got the sales information, began to think about how to start mass production. Since Yun'er often looked for the location of various fabric materials, she soon found the ribbon of a house placed in Room No. 5 on the upper floor of the west annex building of the Tianjing Building, and asked Tian Liang and Nalan to take a few boxes. It is going to be popularized among the girls and grandmothers in the front and rear courtyards first. Yun'er didn't buy many samples of ribbon embroidery, but Xiaoli printed out a lot of pictures. Although the picture is not a physical object, it is also a reference. I drew the picture into a pattern and asked a few teaching grandmothers to make samples. Yun'er remembered that a total of forty carts of lace and ribbon embroidery materials were bought, and there were four carts of giveaways. It's a big stretch truck with a guardrail. And the price of Yun'er was not too expensive when she bought it, and the quality was the best period. Fortunately, I bought it in advance, or I would have sold it later. A roll of ribbon embroidered with only twenty or thirty circles of ribbon. The heart of the ribbon is very big, the size of a small disc. Yun'er bought each roll full of ribbons, and the two-centimeter plastic core was wrapped around more than 100 times, which was very real. There are only one or two cars in the west annex building, and you have to find the rest slowly. But just one or two cars can last a long time.

Because it was too heavy, there could be 200 catties in a box, and it could not be carried hard, so it was taken back in a small box containing drinks. Mama Lin said that in the palace, people with small eyes will slowly become big-eyed: they stare at things that look good. The three second-class maids and the four third-class maids were busy preparing embroidered cloth, embroidery threads, and ribbons for the Mama every day, and the Mama didn't scream every day. When they showed it to Fu Jin according to the pattern drawn by Yun'er, Fu Jin screamed. So many beautiful ribbons embroidered together, it's not ordinarily beautiful. The second master of the palace issued an order, and each of the 200 girls and grandmothers in the palace had a ribbon embroidery, but they had to buy it back at half the sale price. These girls and grandmothers are greedy for ribbon embroidery, and their eyes are almost blue, how much is half of it? This thing couldn't be better as a dowry in the future. A few days later, the second batch of ribbon embroidery products was released. The people who were hoping to buy the ribbon embroidery surrounded several businesses, but fortunately, Arita Liang sent his own soldiers to maintain order, otherwise, the door frames of these businesses could be squeezed out. Even if it is limited to one piece per person, it is also in short supply. I had to expand the scope of my work to the girls and grandmothers in the house. In this way, the required materials are increased from a few boxes to dozens of boxes. Each cart has a capacity of 180 boxes, and there is a tendency to run out. But it won't sell this all year round, there are other categories of embroidery. Moreover, the embroidery time of ribbon embroidery is also relatively long, and it is still available in limited quantities.

"Boss, boss, please come out of your boss! I want to order, set the kind of embroidery that looks like a living flower, order 10,000 pieces, no, no, 100,000 pieces! This is a tall, blue-eyed foreigner shouting loudly outside the gate of the Jade Dragon Cloth Village. Because he is too tall, more than two meters, he stands out from the crowd among the medium-sized Qing people.

Chen Ruiqian, as the shopkeeper of the cloth village, couldn't help but come out and express his position: "This gentleman, our store is sold for people, and there are not as many goods as you said. You buy a few pieces in small quantities, and you can also take care of you who traveled across the ocean to come to the Qing Dynasty, and even the next owner may not have the tens of thousands of materials you said. ”

"You Qing people are too conservative, we don't don't give money when we do business with you, we will give more money! If what the shopkeeper Chen says doesn't count, I'll talk to your owner! Don't you want to make money? To whom is it not sold? We can add another 20% to the retail price, okay? Alas! Too conservative, too complacent! Can you tell me what these beautiful things are made of? ”

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to say."

"It's a shame that you don't make money if you have money." The foreigner shook his head and left, and the people around him extended a thumbs up to Chen Ruiqian. Ruiqian knew that if he publicly sold a large number of ribbons to foreigners, he was likely to be scolded as a traitor. The Qing people themselves are not enough to buy, and if they buy tens of thousands of pieces for foreigners, I am afraid that they will throw stones in the pit and arouse public anger.

When the information was fed back to Yun'er, Yun'er thought that she should divert her attention a little and draw her attention to other products, but it had to be more beautiful than ribbon embroidery or something equally beautiful. Pregnant! Hollow lace is the lace pressed out of those pure chemical fiber cloths, which can be used as the edge of the bed tent or sewn on clothes. asked Tian Liang to find a few monochrome chemical fiber cloths of different colors, and then installed the sewing machine for embossing lace, and tried to press some lace with different functions. Some are long strips, some are single. It's just that the speed is not so fast, the embossing mold is a cylindrical steel die, which is a convex and uneven pattern, and it is necessary to press it through and press through to press down the unwanted part. If it is electricity, it may be much better, but the power of electricity is not comparable to manpower. But for the time being, there is no hurry, first try to sell the test to know if it is popular.

When she showed the four kinds of lace that she had pressed out to Yu'er Shui'er, the two of them screamed in surprise together, and the noise was up to several thousand decibels, so that Yun'er had to cover her ears. As soon as the two of them saw Yun'er covering their ears, they immediately knew that their voice was too harsh, and immediately braked. Lowered his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry master, we lost our temper." ”

"What are you talking about? My ears can't hear anything? Yun'er deliberately teased them. But they were frightened, and their master's ears were deaf, so they hurried to see Yun'er's ears.

"What, what? I'm going to tear your ears into rabbit ears! ”

"Hahaha" the three laughed happily.

The lace listing has become a highlight of the capital. The big girls and little daughters-in-law gathered here are dressed in red, green and green, which attracts the attention of many men. There are also a few salty pork knuckles who want to take the opportunity to rub oil and eat tofu. The pro-soldiers who maintained order were thrown out of the circle by the collar. Fortunately, there is the emperor's imperial plaque in the town, and no one dares to smash the store yet, but this tendency is very unfavorable to Yulong Buzhuang. Not only was the crowd surging, but the sales of other fabrics also dropped significantly.

So Tian Liang thought of a way and went back to his home to transfer the newly installed eight-wheeled mobile vending truck. The left, right, and back sides are baffles with iron nails, and the front sells goods, escorted by more than a dozen personal soldiers. In the open area in front of Zhengyang Gate, let the buyers stand in two rows to buy goods, so that there will be no crowding. At the same time, cross-stitch and ribbon embroidery are sold. Even the family members of the royal family have come out to buy goods, there is no way, everyone has a love for beauty, and the higher the social class, the more people love beauty, and they are also beautiful.

The princes and princes led by Prince An came to the palace to discuss with the prince, whether to sell some beautiful things to their families from the inside? It's worrying to let their family members show up. The prince immediately agreed: "Okay, let Fujin and Yun'er arrange it." ”

The family members of the clan who are very good things took the "baby" they bought to the Queen Mother to see, but they were discovered by the harem concubines, and more than a dozen people knelt in front of the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to tell the Queen Mother in front of Prince Rui Fujin, they like these things too much.

Not to mention that the concubines like it, even the Queen Mother herself likes it. Immediately sent Qiang's father-in-law to summon Tong's Fujin into the palace, and it was even faster, and he had to bring a finished product embroidered with a ribbon.
