Chapter 057: Cao Xu

The owner of Wanxing Silk Village, whose real surname is Cao, is nearly half a hundred, but he is strong and burly, walking with a steady back, and his face looks radiant.

The two saluted each other, and Cao Xu opened the box that Song Ercai brought and took out a handkerchief to taste carefully.

After a long time, he waved away the shopkeeper Liu, who had been accompanying him, and a pair of shrewd eyes swept around Song Ercai, and asked, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper Song if he knows the Zhuo family's acupuncture?" ”

Zhuo family?

Song Ercai heard it for the first time, shook his head and said, "Song doesn't know." ”

Cao Xu frowned, pointed to the embroidered handkerchief and said: "With Cao's decades of experience in the silk village, this is the method used by the Zhuo family. ”

He said it firmly, Song Ercai smiled faintly, and arched his hand: "Don't blame Master Cao, Song really doesn't know what the Zhuo family's acupuncture is." These embroideries come from a relative of the clan, she was an embroiderer in other places a few years ago, learned this stitch, and only recently returned to her hometown. As for whether it is the Zhuo family's acupuncture, I have never heard her mention it. ”

Fortunately, Ah Xiu had made a special trip to advise before, otherwise Song Er might have to inquire about the Zhuo family at this time.

Before the Zhuo family fell, there were so many embroidery workshops, and the outflow of embroidery girls was also common when it was turbulent.

Cao Xu looked at those embroidered handkerchiefs and small purses, although the patterns were different, the stitching method was the same as the previous two times. I think that Zhuo Jiaguang has dozens of stitches that can be seen on the market, and it is rumored that there are even secret scores that are only passed on to children and grandchildren for special customization.

Zhuo's acupuncture method is unmatched, and this embroidery girl can learn one, which is also rare.

But even if there is only one of them, if it is used and developed, it can dominate the nearby counties.

"Shopkeeper Song, this stitch method is really rare, it's a pity to only do these little things. Cao has some ideas, can you invite the embroidery girl to meet me? ”

Song Ercai knew what this person had in mind as soon as he heard it.

If you have your own craftsmanship, why should you make wedding clothes for others.

Song Ercai arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask Master Cao, does Guizhuang have the ability to export embroidery?" ”

"Export?"

Cao Xu looked at the posterior in front of him again, he was not very old, but his heart was quite big.

"Cao is not talented, and now he has four silk villages in his hands, one in Pingyang and one in Tongcheng, and two in Fucheng. If you only have this set of stitches in your hands and want to export them, Cao has no plans. But if there are other skills to press the bottom of the box, Cao Mou's family also wants to give it a try. ”

has been in business for decades, Cao Xu has his own vision, he will not look down on the other party, but if the embroidery girl only learns this kind of stitching, there is indeed no foundation for effort.

Although the Zhuo family has fallen, but those businesses are still there, and the person in charge of the embroidery workshop has just changed himself, and this set of two sets of stitches is like a drizzle, and there is no need to go outward.

Song Ercai is still not sure if Ah Xiu still has the ability to press the bottom of the box, but he feels that he has.

"Master Cao, how about I go home and discuss with the embroidery girl in advance before replying?"

Cao Xu nodded, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, so he asked Shopkeeper Liu to settle the account for him and personally send people out.

On the carriage not far from the silk village, Tong Wencheng fell asleep on it.

Song Ercai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said to Tong Wencheng, who was squinting and confused, "Brother Tong, wait a long time, I will invite you to dinner." ”

"It's a good idea."

Tong Wencheng yawned and pulled up the horse rope.

Wanxing Silk Village, Cao Xumu saw Song Ercai leave, and said to the shopkeeper Liu behind him: "Next time, if he brings new news, he will bring it to the house." ”

"Yes."

Tong Wencheng drove the carriage to the tavern where they had eaten last time, which was not only close to his house, but also not far from Hefu, and he would have to go to Fuzhong to report the account after eating, so it was convenient to come and go.

Song Ercai ordered two meat and two vegetarian dishes, because he was going to the east house for a while, the wine was not served.

During the meal, Tong Wencheng also asked why Song Ercai came to Wanxing Silk Village, not that he was too talkative, but really curious.

"Help Humble Jing sell some embroidery, handkerchiefs and small purses."

In the future, the person who enters the city will be with him most of the time, and there are some things that can't be hidden from him, so it's better to admit it generously at this time.

"can be sold to Wanxing Silk Village, and my sister-in-law is also a powerful person."

Tong Wencheng grew up here, and naturally knew that Wanxing Silk Village was the leader of the city, and the things in it were not something that they could afford to consume, and the embroidery that could be accepted would definitely not be cheap.

Song Ercai nodded in agreement, but what he thought in his heart was how did Ah Xiu know that the surname of the owner of the silk village was Cao, could it be that the Fang family had also come to sell embroidery before?

No, the people of Wondershare are obviously seeing those things for the first time.

"By the way, Humble Jing may open a small shop in the town next month, and if you need it, Brother Tong can also go over there to have a look."

The daughter-in-law opened a shop in the town, and she was still the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, so I don't know what the owner would think if she knew about it.

Song Ercai didn't want this matter to be secretly reported, so he simply made it public at one time.

Tong Wencheng was stunned when he heard this, said a few words about prosperous business, and asked him if the supply was ready.

Song Ercai told him about the top shop, the old shopkeeper went back to the village to care for the elderly, and the goods were all out, and the basic doorway also told him that it was okay to open an ordinary shop.

An ordinary shop in the town, there is no special place, in fact, there is not much money.

"I heard you say that you want to pick up your son to study in town? That's a job that costs money, and you can earn a little bit of it. ”

Tong Wencheng can also understand that his eldest son was enlightened in a small private school, and there are three little babies and daughters-in-law who want to eat and drink, and life is quite tight.

The two had a full meal, and Song Er heard that he wanted to go back first, and in the afternoon, he would go back to the town with him to save a few car money, so he asked Xiao Er to pack a meat dish and a few big steamed buns for him to take back, and he went to the owner's side to report the account first.

It was embarrassing to eat and take Tong Wencheng, and he thanked him several times before carrying his things back to a small courtyard in the alley.

This small courtyard of the Tong family was left by the child's father, and now the child's father has passed away, and the child's mother is helping in Hefu, and Tong Wencheng's family lives in it.

The daughter-in-law of the Tong family knew that her husband would return today, and left him two large bowls of gruel and half a pot of coarse grain flatbread.

Tong Wencheng inherited his mother's physique, he has been fat and eaten since he was a child, and his family is not rich, but his daughter-in-law still clings to her husband and can eat a full meal every meal.

"At noon today, Shopkeeper Song invited me to go down to the restaurant, and brought these back, you can make porridge for the children in the evening."

Tong Wencheng will not be able to receive his salary until the end of next month, and Song Er bought these today, so he will not return empty-handed.

His eldest son is ten years old and is studying in the school, the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter are seven years old, the other is five years old, and the youngest son who has just turned three years old, all of whom are taken by his wife at home.

The three dolls have not seen meat for many days, and their saliva is about to flow out when they smell the meat.

Seeing this, Tong Wencheng took out two steamed buns and half of them to relieve their hunger, and then talked to his daughter-in-law and planned to leave.

"Da Lang, I think the shopkeeper Song is good, don't be half-hearted like before, work hard over there, and strive to be a sole shopkeeper in the future."

"I see, you can take the dolls back."

Tong Wencheng waved his hand and quickly disappeared around the corner of the alley.
