This Zhang lady is also a talkative person, she can always guide the topic subtly, and what she says will not embarrass you.

Some very ordinary things are vivid and interesting when she says them, which makes people very happy to listen.

"The handkerchiefs you embroidered before were very good-looking, and the master was very satisfied with them, and kept asking me if I was the hand of a fairy to embroider such a beautiful and realistic pattern."

"Are you talking about the dozen handkerchiefs on top of the pillow?" Helan has an impression, and remembers that Wu's father made several trips for this matter, first drawing patterns, then embroidering the finished product, and then officially starting.

However, because of that batch of work, I received a later set of pillow toils for mandarin ducks playing in the water.

"Yes, that's the batch, the owner likes your embroidery work, I heard that I have your embroidered purse in the store, and I came to buy a few. Some time ago, you asked me if you could take the job here, and I couldn't find you, and I didn't know how to reply to them. ”

Helan said this, his mind moved, there was something in this obvious word, right? The first meaning is that their embroidery work is good, and there is a family that takes a fancy to their craftsmanship. The second layer is that people are interested in cooperating again, and they still have something to do for themselves. The third layer is to inquire if you still have any intention of continuing to do embroidery.

After Helan figured it out, she didn't hesitate anymore: "Zhang Niangzi, where is this talking, where is it used, I didn't look for it, it just happened that the food in the field was busy, and I was idle, if you have a job, you have to think about me." ”

Hearing this, this lady is even more enthusiastic, this year, it is not easy to find a good embroiderer, and after the last war, the resources in the hands of the past are not much left.

Now that I finally found Helan, where can I easily let it go.

"It must be, I've been thinking about my sister for a long time, just the one I just said, his girl is going to get married in a month, how could I think that there were some problems with the previous wedding dress, and now I can only redo it, but the pattern on this wedding dress is not so easy to embroider."

"A month? I'm in a bit of a hurry. ”

"The peony pattern is OK, it doesn't require complicated, it only requires it to look good and fine, I secretly told you that this girl is going to marry the youngest son of the master's family." This lady talked and talked about gossip.

"Master? Which master? People talked nonsense, and Helan was embarrassed not to reply, so she could only try to avoid some problems.

"It's the master in front of our county magistrate, after the original county magistrate died, this person followed the governor to do things. It can be said that most of the things in the city are handled by this master now, and he almost accepted his fate and became the county master. ”

These topics are not very attractive to ordinary people, even if this master is very important, it has something to do with them.

Like some people licking their faces to stammer, they also need connections to connect you, otherwise where will these big people pay attention to you.

Besides, they don't have anything to ask for now, so it's just a matter of listening.

At this time, Qingmei next to her also opened her mouth in a timely manner: "It's not too early, let's go to my brother after shopping." The implication is to stop talking nonsense, and go back after buying it.

Qingmei's words really made Helan grateful from the bottom of her heart, and hurriedly answered: "Oops, I forgot the time." ”

"Look at me, I'm chatting happily with Lan Niangzi, I've forgotten about business, so let's get down to business, this wedding dress pattern is set over there, and it's not very difficult, na, this is the pattern." After the proprietress finished speaking, she took out a piece of paper from under the counter and handed it to Helan.

Helan first looked at it carefully, and then said: "It's not difficult, it should be no problem to hold on for a month." ”

"You came just in time today, and if you come a day late, you will give this job to someone else, one or two or five hundred silver dollars."

"It's okay, then I'll take this job."

"By the way, there's also a hijab, which is also this pattern."

"That's not good, it's not good, more than one hijab will have more effort, besides, ......" The proprietress didn't say this until the end, obviously a little cautious, although Helan didn't finish speaking, the meaning of dissatisfaction was already a little obvious.

You must know that the pattern requirements of the hijab are stricter, and the embroidery is also required to be fine, and the craftsmanship of the thread here is not as skilled as that of later generations. It is relatively difficult to say that the thread will break if it is embroidered.

The proprietress also knew that what she was doing was a little unstable, so she first looked at Helan's face, gritted her teeth, and then opened her mouth: "I'll add another five hundred wen, how about two taels of silver?" ”

The proprietress who said this was quite distressed, in the past, she could deduct half of this kind of work, but this time the owner only asked Helan to do it alone, if Helan didn't take it, tomorrow the owner will send someone to get it back for an embroidery girl.

The moment she saw Father Wu today really made her happy for a long time, and she also knew that this embroidery was not only in a hurry, but also not as easy to complete as she said, so she gave a fair price at the beginning.

I originally wanted to include the hijab in the amount of money I said, but I knew that as soon as I opened my mouth, this girl would see through it.

Usually when those women come, they will say whatever the price is, for fear that they will not get a good job in the future if they make themselves unhappy, but this woman is different from others.

Unwillingly, he persuaded himself in his heart: Forget it, it's nothing to let Helan have more, it's much better than going back tomorrow and getting nothing by yourself.

"Okay, I'll take this job, and when it's done, I'll ask my dad to send it over."

"Well, okay, then let's say so, did you think about which kind of fabric you just saw?"

Helan and Qingmei glanced at each other, and then said: Just cut enough fabric for a piece of cloth from the red cloth we put down just now. ”

"Don't want another one?"

"It's a little bit out of line with what I want, so I won't buy it this time, but next time." Helan was also quite embarrassed to come to the mouth, asking people to introduce themselves for so long, and they hadn't bought it yet, which was a little embarrassing.

At this time, Wu's father next to him also spoke: "Take a look, your mother said that you should buy it, so buy it, I don't know when I will be able to come next time." ”

Hearing this, Helan hesitated and didn't know whether to buy it or not.

Xiao Er on the side looked at the faces of several people, and cautiously opened his mouth: "Girl, can you take a look at another piece of material?" ”

Several people looked in the direction of Xiao Er, Helan thought about it and didn't refuse, and said, "Yes." ”

After hearing that Helan Shun was okay, Xiao Er went to the back hall with a smile.

When he came out again, he ran over in small steps: "Look at this horse." ”

This cloth should be off-white, more beige, the material is the kind of material suitable for summer wear, slightly thinner, but the color of the red cloth is sometimes pink, sometimes orange, fortunately not so showy.
