Chapter Twenty-Six: The Sale of Embroidered Cloth

Park the cart at the door, and the four sisters and brothers entered the show building. There are a few guests in the embroidery building who are picking on the counter, and they first looked around quietly, and found that the samples put out are not novel enough, and the patterns are not three-dimensional enough, which is far worse than these few pieces in the heart.

Jing Jing had a plan in her heart, and asked the proprietress behind the counter softly: "Boss, do you accept the embroidered handkerchief in this show?" ”

"Of course, it is collected, as long as it is embroidered well, it is collected. Is the girl going to sell embroidered handkerchiefs? You can take it out and let me see it, this price also depends on the texture of the handkerchief and the embroidery of the embroiderer. The proprietress said to the quiet, her head was serious.

Anxin opened the small cloth bag he was carrying, took out a few squares of handkerchiefs inside, and placed them on the counter one by one. At first, the proprietress didn't care, but after taking the handkerchief and looking at it carefully, the more she looked at it, the more amazing and delighted she became. This veil uses a new embroidery method, and the color scheme is also bright, and the pattern is like a real one, vivid. In particular, the handkerchiefs of the two squares of ink bamboo are the most elegant and chic. The poem is also well written, as for how to make a good method? She didn't understand it either, she just thought it was catchy to read. At that moment, he smiled and said to the quiet sisters: "What is the girl's plan to sell this veil?" ”

This question really stopped the quiet, she has never sold embroidered handkerchiefs, and she doesn't understand these, but on the way here, the second sister told her that in the past, this peony style handkerchief was five cents a piece, and if it was her own plain handkerchief and embroidery thread, it was fifteen wen a piece. But the fifteen articles that are quiet and not stupid will be sold. The second sister's handkerchiefs are much better than those in the store. Didn't you see that a girl just now spent 20 yuan to buy a handkerchief with lotus leaves? And it's not as beautiful as the second sister show.

"We don't understand these things, the boss can give as much as he sees how much this veil is worth." Quiet pushed the ball to the smiling proprietress again.

The proprietress stood behind the counter and thought for a while, then she said: "That's it, there are two rich peonies, and there is one lotus leaf in the fish play, these three handkerchiefs, I will give thirty wen each, how about fifty wen for each of these two handkerchiefs of ink bamboo?" Seeing that the quiet sisters looked at her with a smile and did not respond, the proprietress continued: "Two girls, I have a high price, and I can't find such a high price in Zhoujia Town, even if I go to that county, this price is considered to be superior." ”

"Since the proprietress said so, then our sisters will listen to you, many people in this town say that the proprietress is the most fair." For the price, the quietness was satisfying. So he nodded and answered, not forgetting to slap the proprietress on the back.

The proprietress was so happy to hear that she could talk like this. After settling the account, he took out one hundred and ninety coins from the money box behind him and handed it to Quiet. He also said: "The girl counts, a total of one hundred and ninety, but right?" ”

Quietly took it and didn't count it, and put it directly in the money bag and put it in his arms. The proprietress was even happier when she saw her like this.

Anxin chose some embroidery threads in the embroidery shop, two small interstitial screens and a few plain cloths. Anxin thought about ornaments like interstitial screens, draw good patterns, and embroider them to sell for a lot of money. Although the eldest sister said that she did not expect her to support her family by embroidery, she also did not want to see the eldest sister running around in the mountains and forests every day. She wants to contribute to this family, and she also wants to make the burden on the eldest sister's shoulders lighter.

Quietly looking at the confident smile between Anxin's eyebrows, she was also very happy. She knows that Xin'er has always been inferior, and she always feels that she has no ability and can't share anything for this family, so no matter what she does? She always had no self-confidence. What a person fears most is self-denial, because that will only make him more inferior and cowardly, and he will not be assertive. Now that I see my second sister happy, I am full of confidence between my eyebrows and eyes, and I am relieved to be quiet. She hopes that her younger siblings can all live happily and brightly.

After choosing things and leaving the show building, a few people walked straight to the grocery store. I bought a knife of straw paper in the grocery store, two brushes for practicing calligraphy, and half a pound of lamp oil and a bag of salt. This straw paper can be used to practice calligraphy, and it can also be used as hand paper after practice. If you want to say that Quiet has been able to adapt to everything quickly since this ancient time, the only thing that can't adapt is that this daily tuba is simply speechless...

Seeing that spring planting is about to begin, Jing Jing has long planned to buy the sandy land next to his home. Since I came to the town today, and I still have the money in my hand, I naturally bought the seeds back as well. Quiet bought a bag of potato seeds, a bag of sweet potato seeds, and a few cabbage seeds. I also bought some peanuts and beans, as well as a few corn cobs that looked very plump.

Seeing that the eldest sister had bought so many seeds, An Xin couldn't help but ask, "Sister, we don't have any land at home, what kind of seeds do you buy from?" ”

Quietly pushing a cart on the crowded street, he replied softly, "I'm going to buy the sand next to our house." Plant some sweet potatoes, potatoes or something, and plant a few ridges of corn, so that our food will be settled. You don't have to go back to the town to buy it, it's not a matter of always buying food to eat, and it costs money. As he spoke, he came to the grain store.

Leaving Anxin to lead the two small ones to watch the cart at the door of the grain store, he quietly entered the store alone. I bought a bag of white flour, a bag of millet, and 20 catties of cornmeal. He paid the money and stacked all the grain he had bought on the cart. The four siblings followed the flow of people to the entrance of the town. When I was about to walk out of the market, I saw a vegetable seller, bought two Chinese cabbage, a radish, and bought 20 eggs in the hands of a lady. Then I left the town with a full load.

When I came to town, I pushed more than 200 pounds of things, plus two little guys. When I went back, the two little guys hadn't changed, and the things had become more than 300 catties. Fortunately, it's still early, and Xin'er can help push it, so I don't feel too hard to be quiet. Stop and go, take a break when you're tired, and eat two pastries bought from town when you're hungry. Finally, when the sun was just over the middle of the day, Aoyama Village came into view.

At this time, the two sisters were also tired and thirsty, but the two little ones were fine, sitting on the cart and sleeping soundly on the sack behind them.

When I entered the entrance of the village, I ran into Zhang Tuzi's daughter-in-law who came out to pour water. Tuzi's daughter-in-law saw that there were several bags on the cart pushed by Jingzi, so she asked curiously, "Why did Jing Yatou buy these old things?" What are you buying? It's weird to look at. There was an inquiring look in his eyes.

"Auntie, come out and pour water. What else can I buy? Isn't there no food at home, buy some food. There are some sweet potatoes and potatoes in the bag, and they are actually eating rice and noodles, and we orphans can't afford to eat them! Thinking about putting some sweet potatoes and potatoes when boiling porridge, not to mention being hungry, you can also save some food. A few of us orphans have to think of the Fa, and if we can, we can save it. and my aunt's rice and white noodles every day, and the days when pork was used as a dish, but it can't be compared. Otherwise, why would the people in the village say that the aunt's family is a good household in this village, and the aunt is also a blessed person! Quietly speaking, he didn't stop, and pushed the cart up the slope.

Zhang Tuzi's daughter-in-law, who spoke quietly, smiled with a chrysanthemum on her face. Standing at the door and looking at the four sisters and brothers walking up the slope, he said in his heart: "It's better to be quiet, this girl can see clearly." Isn't she the most blessed person in the village? Thinking of this, he hummed an out-of-tune song in his mouth, twisted his chubby body and walked into the house.
