This barbarian's tone turned quickly, and he was justified.

Yan Qingge pointed to the old man who was about to be paralyzed on the ground, and said, "Oh, wasn't it you who ordered from him in the first place?"

The barbarian's eyes purred: "Niangniang, I really don't hide it." The people on our grassland, look at you Da Zhou people, they all look similar. This old man was the first time I saw him, and he was wearing a ragged jacket, and he was very shabby. On the occasion of the next meeting, he wore a new fur hat, a new leather jacket, and jade. To be honest, I didn't recognize him at the time, and I thought that if he was so well dressed, he must be the housekeeper. It was my dog's eyes that looked down on people that caused this misunderstanding. ”

Even the last suspicion was fooled by this barbarian's clever tongue.

Yan Qingge didn't even know what to say. Is it good to praise this barbarian's eloquence, and I don't know what kind of shit luck the four princes took to buy such a good product in a group of barbarian slaves.

At this time, Yan Qingge couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of the four princes' game, if it weren't for Ouyang Shaoming's suggestion, she would have fallen into it by now.

Therefore, she couldn't help but be very curious, the four princes should want to give her a sum of money now, what are they going to do next

Yan Qingge relaxed his facial muscles, showed a plausible smile, and nodded: "I see, it's all a misunderstanding, let this warrior from the grassland loosen the binding." ”

This barbarian was grateful, just now when he saw Yan Qingge mercilessly disposing of this group of people who worked in the embroidery village, for a while, he thought that he was going to be finished today.

After inviting the barbarian into the house and sitting down, Yan Qingge asked people to watch the tea and said, "I can't take advantage of you for this cheapness." The old man who made the mistake just now, I will send it to the government in a while. We don't take advantage of you, and the previous deposit will be refunded to you. ”

The barbarian's eyes rolled again, and he said slyly: "Niangniang, it's better to hand over the embroidery to us and do this business well." ”

Yan Qingge smiled: "When you were outside just now, didn't you say that you got all the goods before the year ago and went back to the grassland." Just for such a little embroidery, if I run again, I'm afraid that I will lose money, so I'll return the silver to you. Xue Yan, go and get the original deposit and slips, we will calculate it back then. ”

This barbarian was frightened today, so he naturally didn't dare to turn his face with Yan Qingge, and when he saw that Yan Qingge made a gesture of invitation to her, he quickly took it out of his sleeve, took out the order slip he had made at the beginning, handed it to Yan Qingge, watched Yan Qingge throw it away, threw the two strips into the charcoal basin together, and burned them clean.

Yan Qingge learned about this matter of ordering embroidery, and then said with a smile: "I heard that your master has a new business to do with the embroidery village, I don't know what kind of business it is, I would like to hear about it." ”

The barbarian touched his nose, unbelievable that Yan Qingge actually took the initiative to bring up this matter.

The fish take the initiative to take the bait, how can there be a reason not to fish. The barbarian nodded and said, "It's not a secret, when our master was in the capital, he saw the prosperity of the Great Zhou and was very envious. But our northerners also have their own living customs on the grassland. Those embroidered purse handkerchiefs, after taking them back, people will be fresh for a while and a half for two days, and it will be more difficult to sell them next time. It would be great if you could order some embroidery that we barbarians can use every day. ”

Yan Qingge's heart froze, knowing that the point was coming, and said with a smile: "Oh, what kind of embroidery do you want?"

"Our master heard that when you were still Yunying and unmarried, you used to make leather handguards and leather hats, which were all the rage, and they were covered with beautiful embroidery and brocade. When our master arrived in the capital, he was shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. He wanted me to ask Niangniang, can you let your subordinates use fur as a material to make a full set of northerner clothes like leather knee pads and leather handguards? The remuneration will not be less. ”

Before being reborn, Yan Qingge had also heard that there were barbarian nobles who specially asked people to make leather clothes with embroidery for them to wear. But that kind of clothes is very labor-intensive to make, and it takes almost half a year for an excellent embroiderer to make a piece of clothing.

But because the leather is much harder than the cotton silk cloth that the Zhou people are used to wearing, the embroidery on it is very easy to wear out, and it is scrapped after wearing it a few times. So basically, except for the northerners who are particularly wealthy and love to show off, they won't buy this thing at all.

Seeing that Yan Qingge didn't speak, the barbarian hurriedly said: "Niangniang, a piece of clothing, how can it be the same as the last batch of handkerchiefs, the more flowers embroidered on it, the better, and it is best that it is densely embroidered with needles and threads." Hehe, but, the quality doesn't have to be good, just do it, it's all fooling people anyway. I see, this group of people under Niangniang is so capable, they can make one in three days. So, let's order a hundred pieces of clothes first, and deliver them in three months, how"

Yan Qingge's gaze was like lightning, sweeping over the barbarian.

They bullied themselves for not knowing how to embroider, and they dared to play with a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen. A fully embroidered leather coat that can be made in four or five months at the earliest, insisting that it can be done in three days, and promising a lot of money, and hinting that the quality is almost okay, digging a big hole, for fear that Yan Qingge will not dance.

"Since your caravan is gone, it can only come once a year, why should it be delivered in three months?" Yan Qingge pretended to be puzzled and asked.

The barbarian smiled: "Aren't I still here, Niangniang made this batch of clothes, and I personally escorted the clothes back over there." This doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Afraid that Yan Qingge wouldn't believe it, the barbarian patted his chest and said: "Fortunately, Niangniang didn't see me a year ago, otherwise Niangniang accepted the final payment at that time, and now I have returned to the grassland, so I don't have to do this business." It can be seen that God wants us to cooperate. ”

After watching this barbarian's wonderful performance, Yan Qingge made a look of hesitation: "Let me think about this matter." I don't think it's so easy to sit up with the fully embroidered leather coat. ”

The barbarian hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "That lady can try to make it, no matter how long it takes, I can wait." Even if the business doesn't work out, everyone is still friends. ”

The barbarian left the embroidery village, and in the afternoon of the same day, he sent a few skins over.

I don't know how these skins are nitrated, the animal hair on them has been cleaned, and the leather is relatively hard, if it is used for embroidery, it is just a needle awl with holes, and more than a dozen will be consumed a day.

This leather is obviously embarrassing, which greatly increases the difficulty of embroidery.

Yan Qingge was also full of embarrassment, and said: "No, this skin is too hard, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

"How do you know if you don't give it a try." The barbarian said eagerly, "I don't hide it. This skin is made of our owner's favorite leopard skin, and it is very valuable. If you make clothes out of such materials, our master may increase the price for you. You don't have to be in a hurry, do it slowly, or that sentence, I can wait for as long as I can. ”

Yan Qingge nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try." ”

She didn't believe that this brute had such good intentions.

The barbarian seemed relieved and hurried out.

These huge skins were retained. Not to mention making one body of clothes with them, it is enough to make three or five clothes.

Yan Qingge called an embroiderer with the fastest hand when making leather goods that day, and almost wrung the scissors, only to twist off a piece of leather that is not big or small, just enough to make a half-cut sleeve, and said: "You try to embroider this piece of leather with flowers, the simplest is good, let me see how long it takes." ”

It was not until the Lantern Festival that the embroidery lady took the piece of leather and said, "Niangniang, it's done." ”

Yan Qingge took it and took a look, calculated the time, according to this degree, a leather coat is done, and it will be half a year.

After the third or fifth day of the Lantern Festival, the barbarian came, and carried a large box of gifts, his face was full of redness, and said: "Niangniang, I don't know those leather goods, can you make them?"

Yan Qingge asked someone to take out the half-cut sleeve and show it to the barbarians: "The people in our house have been working for almost ten days to make such a small amount. If you want to make a dress, it must take half a year. ”

"Why is it so slow?" the barbarian had a look of surprise on his face.

"It's not slow." Yan Qingge said.

The barbarian seemed to think of something, and showed an embarrassed expression on his face: "Niangniang, in fact, I still have a solution, if Niangniang can agree, this degree of skin will go up soon." ”

As soon as Yan Qingge heard him open his mouth, he knew that there must be nothing good, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, but I heard it in detail." ”

"Actually, I also ordered some goods in the embroidery shop next door to my mother's embroidery village. It took them only twelve days to make a fully embroidered leather coat, made from the same material. Of course, the embroidery workers on their side are not as delicate as those made by the people on Niangniang's side. But the people on the grassland, where do they know this, Niangniang, you say yes, hahahaha. ”

"Sending off" Yan Qingge waved his sleeves and said angrily.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, don't drive me away, why are you angry, please tell me." The barbarian clung to the doorframe, refused to leave, and shouted loudly.

"Don't you know that the embroidery patterns of the house next door are all copied from my family. You still dare to go to the door to buy embroidery, go quickly, don't get in the way of our mother's eyes. A subordinate said as he dragged the barbarian out.

"Niangniang, I really don't know that I am dedicated to the good of Niangniang, Niangniang, please listen to me again."

Yan Qingge saw that he was about to be dragged out of the door, so he said, "Okay, I'll listen to you a few more words." ”

The barbarian breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and said: "Niangniang doesn't know, the salary I gave Niangniang here is five hundred taels of silver, and it is only this amount for the family next door." As he spoke, the barbarian raised one of his palms and gestured.

"Is it the same five hundred taels," Yan Qingge asked knowingly with mockery.

"It's fifty taels of their craftsmanship, where do you dare to be the same as you." The barbarian replied embarrassedly: "Well, the embroidery girls there are indeed fast-handed." Niangniang, why don't I pull a string for you, this leather coat, you don't have to let your embroidery do it all. I asked the embroidery village next door to do it, and I also gave them fifty taels of wages for one piece, and I will take it back from you. Because the quality is not good, I can only pay 200 taels for a piece. But Niangniang, you made it in your own embroidery village, I still collect five hundred taels a piece. Mother, what do you think?"
