Meng Haiyang said ugly.

In his opinion, it is not an exaggeration at all.

Shen Linglong looked at him, and the disgust was very clear, and she couldn't help but walk over to see what was ugly, was it because she didn't have the skills to go home?

But obviously the last few sets have received a very good response.

Just when Shen Linglong was about to touch his clothes with his bare hands, Old Man Meng stopped him directly, and he said in a fierce tone: "What are you doing, what are you doing!" Have you washed your hands? Is it clean? Did you smooth out your rough skin with a white cotton cloth? Don't let the barbs on your hands hang your clothes.

Shen Linglong: "??? ”

She was really stunned, and she couldn't understand what Old Man Meng meant.

Since it is said to be ugly, why is it so particular about the damage to clothes?

Shen Linglong pursed her lips and asked, "I don't use my hands, Uncle Meng, where do you think it's ugly?" ”

She looks at the style or something, all of them are more innovative styles in the future, and they are all good-looking!

How can it be ugly? In order to conform to this era, she also deliberately added some elements and reduced some elements that were too trendy.

As a well-known designer in her previous life, Shen Linglong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her style.

Old man Meng said: "Look at the line on you, look at the embroidery on it, isn't this ugly?!" ”

Shen Linglong glanced at it, it was embroidered by the machine, Shen Linglong knew that the embroidery of the sewing machine was very simple now, so it was basically to promote the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, and would not make particularly complicated patterns.

This kind of relatively regular machine embroidery does not have the aura embroidered by hand by the excellent embroiderer, Shen Linglong knows it very well, but she avoids the kind of pattern that requires aura embroidery!

This kind of simple graphic pattern, Shen Linglong felt that in addition to being too regular, she couldn't find any other mistakes.

Shen Linglong thought for a moment and said: "This speed is fast, if Uncle Meng doesn't pursue speed, you can embroider by hand, and I can also complicate the style, as long as Uncle Meng you can deliver it in three months." ”

After hearing the three-month deadline, Old Man Meng immediately shut up. Not to mention more than a dozen sets embroidered by hand, and then slowly sewn by hand, even if it is a set, it will be very difficult to do.

It also increases the level of complexity.

Unless the Meng family can buy one piece and eat it for three years.

But obviously this is impossible, how high the sky-high price of a piece is to be able to eat for three years!

Secondly, Shen Linglong is now not even allowed to raise the price of a few hundred yuan to Ren Ruonan, and she has already pressed the price to twenty or thirty.

Shen Linglong saw that Old Man Meng didn't speak, and looked depressed, thinking that this old man was probably striving for perfection. Shen Linglong's illness is not unexpected, when she first stepped into the clothing industry, at the trough, she learned to look good, fit, and easy to do the design in the trough, and drew thousands of design drafts, and then the more you go up, the more you will find the boutique that the upper level people need.

Some artists, nitpicking about details.

Shen Linglong had met all these people, so he was not surprised at all.

It's just that the old man Meng was a little speechless, and he was afraid that she would break it.

The mouth is suspicious until his whole extent, and it is also quite powerful.

Old man Meng was silent for a long time, and finally said reluctantly: "Just you, the machine embroidery you talked about before, how did you do it, tell me?" This pattern is still too ugly to make, so I can't improve it a little! ”

Shen Linglong glanced at Old Man Meng deeply, and took out the templates that Ren Ruonan had prepared for her one after another, several iron models, which looked very simple.

"That's it, is there a sewing machine here? I'll give you a demonstration. Shen Linglong actually planned to dictate, but it was not as fast as making a demonstration.

Old man Meng looked at the iron template in Shen Linglong's hand, his expression was indescribable, and the words 'just this thing' were almost written on his face.

However, Old Man Meng still took Shen Linglong to the back room, and at this moment the corner of the hall was placed in a very clean old-fashioned sewing machine.

Looking at the age, it has been quite a long time, anyway, Shen Linglong looks a little headache, she can still accept it from using a motor with a computer to a sewing machine, this is the oldest American Shengjia brand sewing machine, Shen Linglong's head hurts.

It's old.

Shen Linglong was a little afraid that this kind of old antique would not be broken for her.

She thought for a while and said, "Let's put this thing away, it's not suitable for me, why don't Uncle Meng go to Ruonan's with me, and I'll show you there." ”

Old man Meng was a little angry when he heard Shen Linglong's words, and he said unhappily: "What's the matter! This is an old brand, and you still don't want to use it?! ”

Shen Linglong said honestly: "Zhou Guang didn't take it away from you just now, and it's a shame that this thing looks tattered, and it's not interesting to take it." ”

"Why did he take my stuff?!" Old man Meng was not convinced, "This is private property. ”

Shen Linglong pointed to the sewing machine and said, "American Singer, do you want to be a spy of another country?" ”

The brand on the sewing machine was removed, and Old Man Meng thought that no one would be able to recognize it, but he didn't expect it to be recognized by Shen Linglong, and he immediately shut up.

At this time, Meng Zhengan shouted at the door: "Just say sell this one and keep the latest one!" Grandpa insisted on keeping this, and sold our family's newer sewing machine to subsidize the family. ”

Shen Linglong smiled and said, "This can't be sold for much money now, so it's better to keep a thought." ”

Meng Wuya, who came out with the written IOU, heard it and asked very brightly: "Now?!" Aunt Shen, will you be able to sell it at a high price in the future?! ”

Old man Meng was angry and shouted: "Don't sell it, don't sell it!" This is my machine! ”

Second sister-in-law Meng whispered: "Then Dad, when we make clothes, why do we get it?" Is it manual? ”

Now sewing tickets are expensive.

Shen Linglong heard a flash of inspiration.

"Uncle Meng, if we can't complete the delivery in three months, our contract should be changed." Shen Linglong took advantage of the fire to rob and did it, she looked at Meng Haiyang with a smile, "If your family only produces fabrics and can't do anything else, then it's better to continue the cooperation between me and Meng Wuya before, and also engage in that sharing contract, Ren Ruonan and I can't make a difference." ”

How could Meng Haiyang not know about this situation.

If he only sells cloth, the Meng family will always be just a supplier, and it will be dispensable.

If Shen Linglong finds a better supplier one day, their Meng family should be out. Not to mention re-making Mengjiabuzhuang famous, it would be good if it was not completely annihilated in the long river of history.

Meng Wuya had an idea, he was just about to hand over the arrears note to Shen Linglong and planned to take it back and change the number. But Shen Linglong was faster than him, and took the IOU directly, and said slowly: "Actually, it's not bad for me to ask like this, if you can't deliver the goods after three months, then you will have to compensate me and Ren Ruonan for the loss." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Meng Wuya and said, "Boy, cooperating is the most taboo inch. Since I promised to lend you money so that you can return it to someone else, don't be clever here. If you get an inch, and I don't borrow it from you when I'm angry, then it won't be worth the loss, right? ”

Meng Wuya, who had seen through his purpose, involuntarily shrunk his shoulders and nodded like a quail.

Seeing this, Shen Linglong didn't care about him, and after reading the IOU, she returned it to Meng Wuya. Then he looked at Meng Haiyang and asked, "How did Uncle Meng think about it?" ”

Meng Haiyang didn't know where he was now, and Shen Linglong wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.

But he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "What do you want?!" I can tell you, it's impossible for me to make a few percent of the profit! ”

Shen Linglong waved her hand: "Of course not, I mean to say, I can provide you with this sewing machine, how many does Uncle Meng want?" ”

As soon as he finished asking, Meng Zhengan was a little excited and said, "Dad! Can I ask for one? Our mother doesn't count, there are three people who can make clothes! Three sets? I think the three are particularly good! ”

Old man Meng turned his head and glared at Meng Zhengan and said, "I'm not human!" Yes! Cheng, Santai, you don't have a share! ”

Meng Zhengan panicked, and immediately flattered Old Man Meng with dog legs, humming and chirping, noisy and shouting, which was completely different from the horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes when he was angry just now.

However, the results have been effective, and Old Man Meng finally reluctantly gave a quasi-word: "Then four." ”

Shen Linglong smiled and nodded: "There is no problem, and I want to go to Uncle Meng's cellar with the best fabric and pick clothes of the same price, do you think it's no problem?" ”

A sewing machine has a sewing ticket this year is about one hundred and fifteen, there is no sewing ticket to find a relationship, trust this and that, you can only get a relatively old one, and the price is inflated to three hundred.

Old man Meng's whole expression froze, and he opened his mouth to try to refuse. But the four sewing machines he had just said stopped him.

Old man Meng bit the root, and the words popped out from between his teeth: "Then it's decided!" Four sewing machines, 1200 pieces! Cloth for this price! ”

Shen Linglong smiled: "Of course, but Uncle Meng still has to figure out the purchasing strength!" Integrity of you and me, long-term cooperation. ”

Old man Meng, who was planning to exploit the gap in money, choked for a moment.

1200 yuan, in the city can actually get a relatively small yard, although the location must not be prosperous, but the purchasing power of being able to buy a small yard in the city will be poor?

Of course not.

Meng Haiyang was angry and reluctantly asked, "Are you choosing now?" ”

Shen Linglong smiled slightly: "Of course." ”

If it drags on, I'm afraid there will be nothing particularly to pick.

Meng Haiyang reluctantly took Shen Linglong away, first into the kitchen, and then into the firewood room behind the kitchen, pushed open the old stove full of firewood, uncovered the pot pit covered with templates, and prepared to move out the stones and bricks piled up inside.

After working for a long time, Shen Linglong saw that there was a wooden handle at the bottom.

Meng Haiyang pulled hard, only to hear the sound of heavy objects moving, and she reflexively turned her head to look over, and it turned out to be another abandoned stove that had been moved.

It was really a stove next to the wall, and it was moved away like a mechanism.

Shen Linglong was particularly surprised, she had never seen such an organ built by the wisdom of working people.

She couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Meng, how did you get this?" How did this come about? Are there any construction drawings? What's the principle, can you get one for my family too? ”

Seeing this, Shen Linglong suddenly felt that the compartment that Chen Chi had made for her was really too bad, and it was completely inferior to this kind of mechanism!

Meng Haiyang's anger was not subsided at the moment, he glared at Shen Linglong and said, "No! This house is what you bought with this thing! ”

In other words, this is the wisdom of the predecessors, and their family just happened to use it.

Although Shen Linglong is a little regretful, it is obviously unrealistic to come up with this mechanism without drawings and craftsmen.

She gave up easily, and then followed Meng Haiyang down the passage that came out.

The space below is not large, not counted, there are a lot of boxes, and there are candles on the wall, but even if the candles are not lit, Shen Linglong will not be black in her eyes and completely invisible.

At the end of this basement there is a pond with droplets falling from the top. Shen Linglong estimated that this basement should be under the small stone hill in the front yard, where there is a water tank, and there are water lilies in the water tank.

As for the light that came through, it was the gap between the water tank and the stone that was on top of each other, and the water that dripped down was also penetrated by the water tank.

Probably the tank was a little leaky.

Meng Haiyang said at this time: "These are all good fabrics, they were all tribute in the past, they didn't dare to use it back then, they only survived, and then they couldn't be taken out at all, but there is a cellar here, which can be ventilated, and the installation is particularly good. ”

Shen Linglong was silent, she is not a professional archaeologist, and she can't estimate the age of this cellar, but she can always maintain this clean and comfortable situation, I have to admit that this cellar is very good, even if it is a habit, it is no problem, let alone put these fabrics.

At this moment, Meng Haiyang was opening the thirty-six boxes in this room one by one.

The first to open was the big box.

Shen Linglong clearly saw the grace and luxury of the fabrics inside, and the colors were all dark, either red or purple, or green, especially the color of the palace style.

She recognized it at a glance, this fabric belonged to the nobles in the palace during the Qing Dynasty.

The boxes in the back are opened, in fact, most of them are from the Ming and Qing dynasties, so it can already be seen that the Meng family has a long history.

It wasn't until Meng Haiyang opened the last relatively small box, which was about the size of the twelve-inch computer she used in her previous life, but its height had increased several times.

Shen Linglong was a little curious about what kind of fabric could fit into such a small box.

She leaned over and saw that it was a black silk, extremely black, with golden threads on it.

Shen Linglong was stunned and asked, "This is?" ”

Meng Haiyang looked at this piece of material with a little nostalgia, and said quietly: "When the Meng family was at its most brilliant, I had a particularly outstanding ancestor who used this black silk to embroider the robe, which is a ready-to-wear, the kind of dragon pattern. ”

Shen Linglong: "......"

Dragon pattern!

The dragon is the son of heaven!

This is a dragon robe made out?!

But looking at history, the glorious Ming and Qing dynasties of the Meng family should all be respected by Ming and Huang, why do they use black silk cloth to embroider dragon robes? It was only a layer of outer robe, extremely transparent and thin, similar to the fabric of yarn.

The corners of Shen Linglong's mouth twitched and asked: "Your ancestors of the Meng family are really bold, you dare to do anything, and you are not afraid that this thing will come out and copy the whole family." ”

Although Shen Linglong did not study history, she also knew that making dragon robes privately was the crime of the Nine Clans.

The old man Meng Haiyang pouted his lips very unhappily and said, "How good my ancestor's craftsmanship is!" I've never seen someone with such good craftsmanship in my life, and she didn't make it to wear it herself, nor did she wear it for others, she treasured it! It's a family heirloom! ”

Shen Linglong: "??? ”

What does it mean to show her a family heirloom?

Meng Haiyang seemed to really just show Shen Linglong, and he only looked at a rough idea, and didn't take it out at all, and immediately closed the box after telling the history of his family, and then asked: "Is it done choosing?" Once you've chosen, we're ready to go up! ”

Saying that, it's very precious to wipe the non-existent ash on your box.

The corners of Shen Linglong's eyes twitched, and after glancing at Meng Haiyang speechlessly, she turned around and began to pick out fabrics.

She is still very good at picking, except for the box in Meng Haiyang's hand, she picked one for each box. And each of them will not exceed two meters.

Meng Haiyang watched her pick so much, her heart was dripping blood, and she couldn't help but remind: "You can't take it all away!" This is a precious fabric! Particularly precious! Your 1200 yuan is not worth so much! ”

Shen Linglong smiled slightly: "Now the salary outside is basically requested, and the workers are about 20 yuan per month, the public employees are 30 to 40 yuan, and the cadres are about 50 yuan. ”

"Twenty yuan can feed a family, at least five people eat and drink well, basically a relatively good-looking ready-to-wear clothing in the urban area, the price is only five yuan, Uncle Meng, let's not talk about your things even if you sell them, the whole family will be distributed, not to mention whether anyone dares to accept them." Let's give you ten times more according to the current situation, fifty yuan for a piece of clothing, can I pick twenty-four pieces for 1,200 yuan? ”

Meng Haiyang didn't think what Shen Linglong said was unreasonable.

Even if Shen Linglong took advantage of the fire to rob at this time, but in addition to giving these things to Shen Linglong, who could he give them to, and who did he dare to give them?

In fact, if it is in his hands, it may be collected one day, or it will rot in the soil and never see the light of day.

But having said that, Meng Haiyang's heart should be dripping blood, and it should still be dripping blood.

He was heartbroken and said, "Then what do you mean by picking thirty-five?" ”

Shen Linglong was not in a hurry, and said very calmly: "I plan to pick twenty-five kinds from here!" ”

As she spoke, she began to choose what she had picked out.

Meng Haiyang watched her put the time back for a long time, holding the one that was closer to the current era, and was quite puzzled: "You girl, don't you know that the longer the time, the more valuable it is?" ”

"Didn't I take advantage of you, or did I keep something of value for you?" Shen Linglong quipped, "If you keep some of the previous ones, wouldn't your heart be broken, Uncle Meng?" ”

This joke Meng Haiyang was not angry, but smiled and said: "Then you can take a little less!" For example, this heirloom of my family, if you have to ask for it, I won't give it to you......"

Shen Linglong was facing away from Meng Haiyang at this time, her eyebrows were crooked, she was not surprised at what Meng Haiyang said at this time, she didn't have any joy, she answered very calmly: "Is it okay for me to give up the others?" ”

"Oops! That's it! Meng Haiyang replied with great joy, once again boasting about his family heirloom.

When he was bragging, Shen Linglong had already finished making his choice, took twenty-five stacks of fabrics, turned around and smiled at Meng Haiyang and said, "Forget it, I think it's better for me to want these twenty-five pieces." ”

After speaking, he was about to go up, Meng Haiyang was in a hurry, and followed Shen Linglong and said, "No! This is a dragon robe! ”

Shen Linglong corrected: "It's just a cloak, and it's pirated." ”

In fact, this thing is still collectible, and it can indeed be sold for a high price after thirty or forty years.

But Shen Linglong is not interested, no matter how good the embroidery is, no matter how meaningful it is, it is a finished product for her, and she can't make money at this time, and she can't buy a finished product.

Shen Linglong is a person with brains, she can tell what is more important at the moment.

You can't ruin the interests you just need now because of future profits, or a meaning.

Shen Linglong helped Meng Haiyang close the boxes one by one, and finally nodded at Meng Haiyang and said, "Uncle Meng, I think it is more meaningful to pass on the heirloom in your family, I am a businessman, and it is a waste in my hands." ”

Meng Haiyang fell silent and was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Shen Linglong also comforted helplessly: "Okay, Uncle Meng, if you have a lot of feelings for these in the future, you just don't sell the fabrics in this cellar, I heard Wuya say that there are a lot of fabrics in the other cellar, very much, since this is enough." ”

"What did you say?!" Meng Haiyang heard Shen Linglong say that if he didn't want to sell the fabric in this cellar, he wouldn't sell it? He didn't even have the heart to indulge in heartache, he looked at Shen Linglong expectantly, and asked, "That means that if I am willing to sell, I can still sell it?!" ”

Shen Linglong glanced at Meng Haiyang in surprise, and hesitated: "You, aren't you, don't you treat these as treasures and don't want to sell them?" ”

Not to mention the fabric in this cellar.

Even in another cellar, there are not so precious fabrics, Old Man Meng would rather die of illness than sell them!

Meng Haiyang showed another bitter smile, and he said: "I hope that these fabrics will not be sold cheaply, but with the hope of the Meng family, they will appear in front of people openly and honestly, so that the glory of the Meng family can reappear." ”

"Otherwise, I'll just go to the bottom, and I won't have the face to see my ancestors and ancestors."

Saying that, Meng Haiyang glanced at Shen Linglong and confirmed again: "You just said that you can sell it, right?" ”

Shen Linglong is aware of the quality of the Meng family's fabrics, and she also thinks that the Meng family should be brilliant, even if there is no her, it will be carried forward in the hands of Meng Wuya in a few years.

Now that she has her, Shen Linglong thought, she didn't want to let her always get along with her on this face, in fact, she was quite conniving at her elders to disappoint.

Shen Linglong smiled: "Of course." ”

Then he added confidently: "Now no one else can do it except me." ”
