Chapter Thirty-Seven: Returning the Favor and Dropping the Pie
Carambola thought that even Li Cuihua knew how to embroider purses and embroider patterns to make money, and she hadn't thought of the way to get rich after coming for so long.
Calculate the cost, remove the miscellaneous and miscellaneous hands only have twelve taels, if you go to the pawnshop to redeem the silver hairpin, there will only be seven taels left, what kind of business can make a steady profit without losing money?
kept looking at Shen Shui's raw goods box in his hand, and unintentionally raised his eyes to see that Li Cuihua was embroidered with a handkerchief.
It was embroidered with some wild flowers and weeds, as well as plum blossoms, peach blossoms and rich peonies, etc., she asked Li Cuihua's consent and took a handkerchief to look at it carefully.
To tell the truth, star fruit itself is a little disgusted with embroidery, she doesn't like to do needlework, in her mind will only point to cross-stitch stitching, clumsy and clumsy old hands do not say, this art is really no innate art cells.
But looking at these simple and single patterns, he subconsciously said: "How can you embroider just these flowers and grasses, Sister Cuihua, why don't you embroider some flowers and wealth, hiden high branches, flowers, birds, fish and insects or something, and Aunt Li's insoles can be embroidered with auspicious words of peace and happiness in life?" ”
Li Cuihua looked at the star fruit, although the two of them don't talk much on weekdays, but she knew that her younger brother liked this girl, wasn't she timid and afraid of things before? How dare you speak in front of people now.
Aunt Li looked at Peaches and said a little embarrassed: "Peach, what do you want?" Your uncle is our famous children's test student, there is ink in the belly, who of us knows those words, flowers, what flowers you are talking about blooming and rich, what likes to climb high branches, there are no tricks, we imagine it out of thin air? You think too highly of me, your sister Cuihua. ”
"Oh, I forgot, in fact, when my uncle was studying at home, I had seen it on the side, and there would be a little simple trick, if Aunt Li doesn't dislike it, wait until I have the time to draw two for you, Brother Shuisheng, can you increase the price of Aunt Li's embroidery with different patterns?"
Aunt Li looked at Shui Sheng with joy when she heard this, and Shen Shui Sheng was also a little surprised, this silent girl could still draw and write, the old Yang family was really a talented place.
"Of course, if Miss Li can embroider a different pattern, I will naturally raise the price here."
Carambola listened, anyway, I don't know how to embroider, I can't earn this meticulous work, if I can help Aunt Li's family by drawing a pattern, then I am also very pleased.
"Peaches, you said you could draw patterns, I can collect them?"
Shen Shuisheng asked cautiously, looking at Peaches' response, he didn't know if this girl was trying to please Aunt Li's happiness, or if she really knew how to draw, although this pattern was not expensive, but it would cost a lot of silver to buy it yourself, if this girl could paint, she would buy it at a low price and sell it at a high price, which would reduce the girl's living burden and return Uncle Junshan's favor, so he asked cautiously.
"What? Can I make money by drawing any tricks? Brother Shuisheng, if you draw a picture, how will you accept it? ”
The little silver full of star fruit fell from the sky again, but I didn't expect that I would kindly give tricks to repay favors and drop pies.
"If it's an ordinary pattern for one penny, if it's a little more complicated, it's two pennies, if it's innovative and effective, a good one can be sold for five cents, and a better one is a little more complex and atmospheric for ten cents?"
Carambola was ecstatic in her heart, she was a contemporary intellectual woman in her previous life, painting is simply her own strength, from the tabloid specialty class is to paint, what simple small animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects and landscape characters, are involved and often praised by teachers.
Shen Shuisheng looked at the star fruit with a joyful and confident appearance, and said: "That's it, I'll come back tomorrow, you give me a look at the finished product you painted, I'll accept it if it's okay, and I'll give you a reasonable price if it's better." ”
Carambola didn't hesitate, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, and suddenly she saw Li Cuihua looking at her with strange eyes, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, it's over, forgetting that this is the countryside, men and women don't kiss, and she just seemed to be a little too happy to get carried away, which made her misunderstand that she seemed to be robbing her man.
Carambola didn't dare to explain publicly, because she didn't know if Aunt Li saw it, and if she didn't see it, it wouldn't be worse if she talked more.
Oops, I'm annoyed, I'm only ten years old, who is her Li Cuihua's small-bellied chicken intestines, Uncle Li, Aunt Li, and the big strong brother are all warm-hearted, why did they come to her because of a few familiar polite words, did they regard themselves as imaginary love rivals?
Li Cuihua's sharp eyes came and went quickly, but the star fruit couldn't get by, and she was upset when she saw it, so it was better not to look at it, she really wanted to deduct her nosy eyes.
She chose a few more pieces of cloth from the seller's burden, and now that she has money, she can't always wear a new dress, but must change it.
After buying the flower cloth, I directly asked Aunt Li to take it back, and I said that I couldn't cut anything, so I could only ask Aunt Li to do it for me.
Carambola knew that Aunt Li's family was not rich, so she relied on a few acres of land at home to live, and she had thought about it, and when it was time to take the color of the clothes, she would pay Aunt Li for processing.
Back in the house, star fruit reacted and agreed to Shen Shuisheng's proposal, but where to get this pen and paper? There were still two days before the next market, but my brain was hot and I promised that someone would draw a sample tomorrow.
knocked on his head hard, and was seen by Meizi, who was eating sugar, and asked a little distressed: "Second sister, what do you do to knock your head, do you have a headache?" ”
Carambola was a little discouraged and said, "Sister just promised Brother Shui Sheng to show him the drawing pattern tomorrow as soon as she was happy, but I forgot that we don't have paper and pen at home?" ”
Yang Junshan leaned against the kang wall and said, "It's all because my father is incapable, and now this way is really a drag on the whole family." ”
"Dad, don't say that, you and your mother worked hard to bring us up, you raise us young, and I can also raise you old."
Yang Junshan didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary child would suddenly grow up, but he was not by her side for a month, it seems that this child has gained a lot of knowledge, or her talent is like her mother.
Speaking of her mother, although she lost her memory, judging from her speech and demeanor, she must have received a female ring before she lost her memory, and her subconscious speech exudes the same bookish atmosphere as Lao Wu.
Meizi suddenly said: "Second sister, I went to my grandmother's house that day, and when I saw her going to the box to get eggs, she seemed to be tinkering with my uncle's books, and there seemed to be straw paper used by my uncle. ”
When the star fruit heard this, she suddenly came to her senses, but she wilted again, how could this old woman guard the little things at home strictly, how could she be kind to herself? Unless the sun hits the west and comes out.
