Chapter 15 Embroidery Consignment

Since Mrs. Li took over the embroidery work, she no longer has to do laundry for others, and only concentrates on embroidery every day. She is good at embroidery, her hands and feet are fast, and she can have nearly 100 yuan a day. However, Li Jingshan looked at her mother's red eyes, and was distressed, and ordered her to only do embroidery for three hours a day. She also controlled the number of purchases to the show, so as not to make her mother too tired.

In her opinion, nothing is more important than the health of her family. Money can be earned slowly, and the gains outweigh the losses if you burn your body for this.

Li Jingshan held her money bag and thought that after she went home tonight, maybe she should think about whether she had saved enough money to buy fabric and embroidery thread.

She has always remembered what Zhang Qiaoyan told her, if she brings her own materials and sells them as embroidery consignments, if the market is good, she can earn more. And the business she made with Mrs. He also gave her great confidence in the patterns she designed.

She has patterns, her mother has craftsmanship, and what she lacks is funds. If you save enough funds and buy your own materials to do embroidery consignment, you can earn more on a single piece of embroidery. That's why she kept thinking about it.

That night, after dinner, Mrs. Li cleaned up the kitchen, and saw her daughter holding the wooden box containing the money, counting one by one at the bedside, like a little miser.

"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Li smiled, "Is this counting the private money?" ”

"Yes!" Li Jingshan looked up and replied with a smile. She told Mrs. Li her thoughts, and then analyzed with her mother: "I went to the fabric store to ask, but a few hundred dollars can buy enough embroidery cloth to make hundreds of sachets and purses." And after making embroidery, each purse can be sold for at least 30 yuan! ”

Li Jingshan excitedly grabbed Mrs. Li's hand, and felt that all the golden copper coins and ingots floating in front of her were floating in front of her, "Mother, a hundred purses are three thousand Wenye!" ”

Mrs. Li also smiled, but asked calmly, "Even if my mother embroiders a hundred purses, will you be able to sell them all?" ”

When Li Jingshan heard this, she also fell into deep thought, and finally said, "When I go to deliver the goods tomorrow, I will inquire with Sister Zhang about the market and see what kind of tricks are easy to sell." ”

--------

"If you want to design your own embroidery, it's best to design a collection. For example, sachets, embroidered handkerchiefs, belts, etc., all use the same fabric and similar patterns, or at least patterns of the same theme. ”

Zhang Qiaoyan listened to Li Jingshan's thoughts and pointed out to her: "Nowadays, people like to match everything in sets, which not only reduces the difficulty of choice, but also makes it easier for the store to sell it in its entirety." ”

Li Jingshan nodded understandingly, this is the same as the bundle sales of modern merchants, and even the mascots of the sports meeting are designed to sell five or six together.

Zhang Qiaoyan liked her intelligence very much, and said with a smile: "Now it's only a month before the Dragon Boat Festival, you can design something related to the festival and sell it here first." If you are afraid that the market situation is not good, you should do less first. You also do piecework embroidery first. If it sells well, you can embroider your own patterns with all your might. ”

Li Jingshan was overjoyed, knowing that Zhang Qiaoyan had given her great convenience, so she took her hand and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you, sister." ”

"My sister is a sincere person." Zhang Qiaoyan said with a smile, "What is the thank you for, I didn't consign it for you, and the thirty percent of the rent is a lot." It's just to see how good your embroidery is, just to find a partner. ”

Li Jingshan said sincerely: "I still want to thank you, not everyone who wants to come in and consign can get this opportunity." ”

Zhang Qiaoyan smiled and pinched the corners of Li Jingshan's mouth, "Sweet mouth." Sister loves it! ”

Li Jingshan lowered her head and smiled. Thinking of something again, she looked around at the embroidery arrangement in the store, pointed to the neatly arranged embroidery and said to Zhang Qiaoyan: "Sister Zhang, I have some ideas about the neat arrangement of the store, is my sister willing to listen?" ”

"What thoughts?"

"These embroideries are neatly placed, looking refreshing and regular, but those beautiful patterns cannot be highlighted, but I am afraid that the pearl will be dusty. If you change the way you put it, maybe it will be better. ”

Zhang Qiaoyan is not an old-fashioned character, and immediately said, "Please ask my sister for advice." ”

Li Jingshan smiled quietly, shook off the embroidered handkerchiefs on all sides, pinched the center point and stuffed it into a small wine glass, the embroidered handkerchief was like a blooming flower, and the unfolded petals just revealed the delicate embroidered edges.

She rolled a long silk tassel sweat towel twice, tied it with a ribbon in the middle, and fiddled with her slender fingers twice, and it rolled out the shape of a rose, and the long tassel hung down and swayed gently, as if to drive the flower to sway.

Zhang Qiaoyan was amazed and said straightly: "My sister really has a pair of skillful hands!" ”

Li Jingshan only lowered her head and smiled quietly, "My sister has won the award." "She has a demure temperament, and she only makes people feel like a spring breeze when she smiles.

-------

During the day, after asking for advice from Zhang Qiaoyan, Li Jingshan began to prepare for her own embroidery. When she was on an errand, she found the embroidery girl who made needlework in the other courtyard, and asked her to help her bring in some embroidery embroidery threads commonly used in the Dragon Boat Festival, only saying that she embroidered some Dragon Boat Festival supplies for the clansmen. The embroidery lady is also refreshing, and promised to let her pick it up in two days.

As he was talking, he saw Zhen'er coming over with Young Master Ruan's coat, pointed to a red mark on the placket and said, "Young Master, this silk brocade shirt is expensive and well-made, and he usually wears it." It's just that I went out a few days ago to get this red mark, and I can't wash it off. Although the young master didn't say anything, his face looked very displeased. I know that the lady has a deep study of fabrics, so I want to ask you, is there any way to remedy it? ”

Xiuniang took a look, shook her head and said, "This is a lipstick mark." Those rouge and lipstick eat the most cloth and can't be washed. As he spoke, he shook his head again, and laughed quietly, "With the young master's temperament, how many clothes are enough for him to rub rouge." ”

Zhen'erqiao's face turned slightly red, and she seemed to say justifically: "Actually, I haven't often come back with this kind of seal recently. ”

The embroidery girl sneered and said no more.

Li Jingshan picked up the clothes and looked at them, and suddenly said: "The pattern of this dress is embroidered with moire patterns, and the position of the seal is just near the shoulder. I'll draw a pattern, lady, do you see if it's feasible? ”

As he spoke, he took the clothes and traced them on the clothes with chalk that was used as a marker, and drew a few auspicious cloud patterns with a few strokes.

The embroiderer took a closer look and thought for a while, "I'll try it." As he spoke, he put on the embroidery thread and got to work. After half an hour, it worked very well. Zhen'er smiled happily: "Sure enough, it's very good-looking, and the whole dress is smart." Thank you, lady! He looked at Li Jingshan again and said, "Thank you sister!" ”

Li Jingshan hurriedly thanked her. She felt that Zhen'er's gratitude to her was different from that of the embroiderer. There always seemed to be a hint of reluctance in his voice, as if he was wary, and as if he was annoyed. However, the smile on Zhen'er's face was so bright and sincere, she just thought she was too worried.

Zhen'er took the repaired coat back to the main room, and happened to see Ruan Mingyu preparing to change clothes and go out, saw the clothes in her hand, and said, "Didn't you say that the stain can't be washed off?" Take it and throw it away. ”

Zhen'er unfolded the dress and said with a smile: "This is the clothes that Childe loves to wear every day, it's a pity to lose it." The slave thought that maybe she could save it with some embroidery. Young master, please see? ”

Ruan Mingyu swept his eyes casually, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth turned up to reveal a soft smile, which was indescribably seductive: "Oh? It's good, this moire has some meaning. Did you come up with it? ”

Zhen'er lowered her head embarrassedly, and a red glow flew on her cheeks, "It was painted by the slave maid, and it was embroidered by the embroiderer who made the needlework." It's good if the young master likes it. ”

Ruan Mingyu nodded and smiled: "Okay, very good." It's hard for you to have a heart. Wear this today. ”

Zhen'er was overjoyed and stepped forward with her clothes, "Yes, let the slave maid wait for you to change your clothes." ”

Ruan Mingyu's eyes were dark and uncertain, his eyes turned, and he glanced at Ruan Shu in the room, Ruan Shu stepped forward to take the clothes, and smiled at Zhen'er: "How dare you bother Sister Zhen'er with such things, you can give the little one a chance to show his face in front of the young master." ”

Zhen'er had a fever on her face, and she had to bow and leave in embarrassment.

Ruan Shu Ruan Mo waited for Ruan Mingyu to change his clothes and followed him out of the Ruan family's courtyard. It wasn't until the carriage was on the road that Ruan Shu couldn't help but say, "Young Master, you just looked at Zhen'er's eyes, is it ...... Suspect she lied? ”

Ruan Mingyu glanced at Ruan Shu, and asked Ruan Mo again, "Ah Mo, what do you say?" ”

Ruan Momu made a face and said, "She's lying." ”

"How do you know?" Facing Ruan Mo, Ruan Shu was not so patient, and asked curiously, "Where did you see that she was lying?" ”

Ruan Mo was still expressionless, and said in a flat voice: "I just know." ”

"Young master, look at him!" Ruan Shu pointed at Ruan Mo and shouted with a face full of grievances.

"If you can't see it yourself, you blame others." Ruan Mingyu smiled and nodded Ruan Shu, "This dress was stained a few days ago, if the idea of embroidery to cover it up was really her, with her character of competing everywhere, even if she didn't think about what pattern to use at that time, she would explain it to me first, and then happily get my approval, instead of showing it off with me when it was done." ”

"Oh-I see!" Ruan Shu came to his senses, thought about it and thought, and said, "So, this idea came up with the embroidery girl?" ”

"Eighty percent of the time. I'd like to see the embroiderer another day. Ha, there are a lot of talents in our hospital. Ruan Mingyu chuckled, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were slightly raised, full of handsome and graceful.

"Soβ€”Miss Zhen'er, what are you going to do with it?" Ruan Shu asked again.

"Not how to deal with it. It's just some little tricks in the house to compete for favor, and it doesn't hurt, as long as it's not too much, let her go. Ruan Mingyu's eyes drooped, and he didn't care much.

Ruan Shu nodded again, seeing that Ruan Mo still had a wooden face, and there was no expression at all, he couldn't help asking, "Wood, do you know again?" ”

Ruan Mo replied honestly, "I don't know." ”

Ruan Shu smiled proudly: "Hmph, I'll just say, I haven't understood it yet, how can you know it again!" ”

"Because there are no girls to compete for me." Ruan Mo said lightly, "You too!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Shu pounced on Ruan Mo and beat him. Ruan Mingyu laughed on the side.
