Chapter 090: Almost Got Trapped
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Harueda was stunned.
Wasn't the proprietress still arguing with the Wang family just now? Why did you come to talk to her in the blink of an eye?
But Wang reacted immediately, and she quickly nodded: "Sell, of course we sell!" But the money is too little, you look at the embroidery, this cost of the thread, the cat on the top is the same as the living, not to mention the five wen! β
"Oh, my sister, you can also open it for five cents! In our rural area, how many big girls and little daughters-in-law are willing to spend five cents to buy a handkerchief? This money is enough for them to save up for themselves to make a copper-covered hairpin! It's still on the head, and everyone can see it! But what is the use of the veil except for seeing it yourself? They won't buy it if you sell it too expensive! The proprietress hurriedly whispered.
"Since they don't buy it, why do you want it?" Wang immediately asked.
The proprietress choked.
"Aren't I helping you with ideas?" She immediately laughed, "The past few times you have come, I have been telling you to change a few more tricks." I've been embroidering those flowers and plants, coming and going are those things, my man has been picking out and selling them for so many years, and they can't be sold! It's so easy to see a new trick now, and of course I'm eager to try it. I'm doing this for your own good, don't take my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! β
The proprietress is right. As early as the middle of the year, she had already mentioned to Wang, saying that these handkerchiefs are not easy to sell now, and asked Wang to try to change a few tricks. However, there are only those things that can be seen in the countryside, and there are few types and colors of silk threads, so what new tricks can they play? So they listened to it, and didn't take it to heart.
In Wang's words: "She said the same thing to me 800 years ago. Hmph, when I don't know what she wants to do? She just wants to lower the price! β
At the beginning of the year, they brought back so much silk thread from the county seat, which made them not use the thread in the silk shop for a long time. But even so, the proprietress gave them a handkerchief, and it rose by half a penny. Wang was very dissatisfied at first, and the proprietress said: "My good sister, are you reluctant to give you money?" Do you know, how many people in our poor place are knowledgeable? No matter how good your silk thread is and how beautiful the color is, people will not be willing to pay two or three extra dollars for these things! Half of my money is the money for your own silk thread, and I made it clear to you at the beginning! β
And then what can they do? We can only accept reality.
After all, there is only one silk thread shop in the town now, and the other towns are so far away that it takes them two or three days to go back and forth. The county seat is even farther away, and the round-trip fare is not enough to sell the handkerchief purse to arrive!
It's just that afterwards, Wang scolded the proprietress a lot: "Her conscience is getting darker and darker!" Over the years, we have made so much money by relying on our handkerchief purse, and we have not increased the price, but now we are not happy with our own silk thread, and she has begun to reduce the price clearly! Such a person will not die well in the future! β
Therefore, even if she now knows that the proprietress is right, but Wang is angry, she still refuses to let go. "Just five texts, not a single penny is missing, otherwise we won't sell it! Anyway, this thing was made by my daughter-in-law to tease the cat, and we will play with the cat like the same when we go back! β
"Isn't it a waste to use such a good thing to tease a cat?" The proprietress smacked her lips, "Sister Wang, I really want to help you make more money." We've been friends for so many years, don't you still believe me? I'm thinking about all of you! β
Anyway, in the end, she won't add money.
However, Wang is also determined not to reduce the price today.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally the man of the proprietress came back, and he made peace from it, and only then did he set the price of the veil on the side of four cents.
After calculating the money, the proprietress hurriedly took the handkerchief and held it in her hand like a baby. "I'll ask my man to take it out and sell it first, and you can embroider a few more when you go back, if it sells well, we will sell this in the future!"
"Okay!" Wang nodded, and was satisfied with the money.
This is bitter for the third son. It's a pity that it's easy to think that it has a thing, but it didn't even start playing, and the thing was sold by the Wang family!
It became more irritable, and meowed around Haruke's legs.
Wang was annoyed by its screams. She couldn't bear it anymore, took out a small hydrangea from the basket and threw it over. "Here you go, let's play!"
Xiao Sanzi's eyes lit up immediately, and he pounced on him and began to run around with the ball with his tail flicked.
Harukeda immediately looked straight again.
This hydrangea ...... How to do the same thing with her for the cats! In addition to the embroidered patterns on the top, it is also a small flower and grass that Wang is good at.
She hurriedly looked at Wang, and saw Wang's face scold: "What do you see?" There are so many rags and threads at home, I think it's a waste to throw them there, so I made a plan to play with it myself, can't I? β
"Yes, of course!" Chunzhi nodded hurriedly, "Mother, your craftsmanship is so good, much better than what I do!" β
"Needless to say? I've eaten more than you for so many years! Wang's chin lifted proudly.
In terms of duplicity, her mother-in-law is exactly the same as her father-in-law! Harueda said secretly in her heart. Now the difference between this mother and son is that Wang's skin has reached a certain thick, but Chai Dong has not. However, judging from the current trend, I am afraid that Chai Dong's ability will be much stronger than that of the Wang family in the future.
Chunzhi couldn't help but look back at her little husband again.
Every time he accompanied them to the silk thread shop, Chai Dong poked into a corner like a puppet, and silently let their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law negotiate with the proprietress. After the negotiation was over, he got the money, he came to help them carry the basket again, and the three of them went out together.
It's the same with Chai Dong this time.
But now that Haruka was looking at it with her shining eyes, the puppet moved. But he only pouted, and asked her in an extremely cold voice, "What do you see me doing?" I didn't make hydrangeas for cats. β
You didn't make hydrangeas, but you stole a picture of me and the third son! And this time, the handkerchief embroidered with the portrait of the little third son that the proprietress took a fancy to me was also embroidered according to the picture you drew for me, okay? Harue wanted to say that.
Just thinking like this, the proprietress over there spoke again: "By the way, this cat really looks more and more like the real thing, you embroidered it according to the appearance of your cat, right?" But after only one year of study, you can embroider cats so well, and the proportions are not so distorted, which is really rare! β
"Why, someone drew this cat for me, and I embroidered it according to the portrait." Haruka hurriedly shook her head.
If it weren't for the portrait given by Chai Dong, how could she embroider things so quickly? After learning embroidery from Wang for almost a year, she deeply understood the importance of making a good draft first. It's a pity that her skills in this are still too weak, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to embroider only a few fixed patterns. If Chai Dong hadn't given her these paintings, she wouldn't have imagined that she could embroider the cats!
"Really?" The proprietress suddenly became energetic, "Who drew it for you?" β
"Yes...... Can't tell you! Harueda almost blurted out. But after thinking about it again, she swallowed the words back into her stomach.
The proprietress was immediately disappointed. "I'll just ask, I don't mean anything else."
"You'd better not mean anything else!" Wang snorted coldly, she hurriedly pulled the spring branch, "Okay, everything has been handed over, the money has been taken, let's leave quickly." There's a lot of stuff waiting at home! β
Chunzhi hurriedly lowered his head and called for the little third son, and the little third son jumped on her with the ball in his mouth.
She and Chai Dong followed the Wang family out in a hurry.
It wasn't until he went outside that Wang couldn't help but spit out: "This boss lady is really getting more and more insatiable!" What else does it mean to say anything else, she is stupid for me? She must be someone who wants to draw out of your mouth, and then find someone to draw and proofing her, and then she will find someone to embroider it, so that she can continue to keep the price down and make a lot of money herself! β
It turns out that she saved this purpose! Harueda nodded hurriedly. "I know, it's a shame that I didn't tell the truth just now!"
"You're embarrassed to say it!" Wang Shi glanced back at her, "You almost confessed my son, do you know?" My son will be an official in the imperial examination in the future, and because of this little gadget, his reputation will be tired, you see that I won't beat you! β
Haruzhi sticks out her tongue. "I know, I'm sure I won't tell anyone in the future!"
It's just that she can't figure it out - Chai Dong is obviously very good at painting, this is a good skill, why does the Wang family think that it is tired of his reputation?
She glanced at Chai Dong quietly, but saw Chai Dong swinging his head at her.
Chunzhi nodded hurriedly, then lowered his head again, and quietly became a quail. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
