Chapter 72: Ready-to-Wear Display
Chaolu chatted with Su Sanniang for a few more words, and after sending Su Sanniang away, she saw her partner Shunzi running to her happily.
"Shopkeeper, just now a lot of people came to ask why this red silk is so bright? To sell or not to sell? When will it be sold? How much does it cost? At the end, he laughed himself.
Chaolu had already guessed that the effect would be good, but she didn't expect someone to ask the price so soon, maybe she could put out this batch of red silk as soon as possible.
She thought about it, and ran to the storeroom to take out a piece of silk to try.
When she arrived at the warehouse, she saw Li Yanzheng directing Liu Niangzi and others to move things.
"What are you doing?"
Li Yan looked at Chaolu very calmly, "Command them to move things." ”
"You're my buddy, too!"
Li Yan looked at her and looked at the dew.
Chaolu regretted it, really regretted it, in short, she regretted it very much, why did she owe so much to prevent Li Liushan from untying Gu Yan's mask? Then Gu Yan will still be her hard-working little guy now.
Chaolu pouted, "You still have my salary." ”
"Five pennies of silver." Li Yan smiled, "You can also send it to yourself." ”
"Hmph." Chaolu picked up a red silk horse and said that she couldn't hide it?
She went directly to the pair of sisters embroidered with red silk.
The eldest pair of embroiderers is called Shuangchun, and the other is called Shuangxia, their craftsmanship is really good, and twenty taels of silver have also been picked up.
Because their deeds of sale are in her hands, Chaolu is also willing to give them some important things to do.
When Shuangchun and Shuangxia saw Chaolu, they stopped the embroidery work in their hands and respectfully called the shopkeeper. Asaka gave them the red silk.
This is still corrected by Chaolu, otherwise they will call her master as soon as they open their mouths, this title makes her a little flustered, even if she was used to hearing it in her previous life, but now she is a little unaccustomed to it.
"Shopkeeper, the color of this red silk is really beautiful!" Shuangchun's palm caressed its smooth surface, and his eyes radiated with brilliance.
"You can make some sachets and handkerchiefs first."
As for the ready-to-wear, she decided to press it a little more, and she came up with a good idea. This idea was still inspired by Su Sanniang. When she negotiated the contract with her before, Su Sanniang cut a dress with red silk on the upper body, and with her tall and well-proportioned figure and delicate face, it was simply a living signboard, but it was impossible for her to ask Su Sanniang to make a signboard for her.
She knew the choice of this person, and now she was going to design it.
Chaolu walked to the counter, spread out the rice paper, and the brush sketched a few strokes on the paper but finally failed, she was a little deflated.
She was originally going to design a set of breast-length skirts, but she didn't plan to use red silk for the whole outfit, because the red was too dazzling, so even with exquisite embroidery, it was easy to be overlooked.
Li Yan forcibly leaned over to look at her unsightly graffiti, and laughed, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'm drawing!" Chaolu held down the rice paper and waved the brush, "Idlers retreat!" ”
Li Yan grabbed her cinnabar-stained brush and looked at the miserable picture, "The shopkeeper seems to have a long way to go." ”
Chaolu put the pen away when she heard it, and the pen stained with cinnabar fell on the rice paper like this, okay, she didn't want to see the picture even more beautiful now!
Chaolu is ready to strike, what can she do, she complained to Liu Qing before, Liu Qing understands everything, and she also knows how to add, she just wants to come up with a design draft if she wants to do it well, why is it so difficult!
Li Yan picked up the brush and walked to Chaolu's side.
"What are you going to do?"
"I want to draw!" Li Yan learned from her, "Idlers retreat!" ”
When Chaolu heard this, he felt that he had really been extraordinarily arrogant recently.
Li Yan painted in Chaolu's original color, and the chaotic red on the picture became a fluttering skirt under Li Yan's brushstrokes, Chaolu's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the painting excitedly, "This, I plan to make a other color for the upper garment, what do you say is good?" ”
Li Yan replied without thinking, "Versatile." ”
It's black and white.
Li Yan's pen fell quickly, "But too much black will make her feel heavy, and too much white will be very light, and it doesn't seem to be a good choice at the moment." ”
Li Yan drew quickly, a fiery red skirt was presented on the paper, and the skirt was wide open like a burning fire, it seemed that this was not difficult for him at all, and stars were about to appear in Chaolu's eyes.
He thought about it for a while, and the pen was stained white. A few white ties were added, and the wide open skirt was topped with fine white pear blossoms, which complemented each other perfectly.
"Pear blossom?" Chaolu asked, "Pear, leave, isn't the meaning not good?" ”
Li Yan put down his pen, Chao Lu couldn't see the look on his face clearly, and heard him say, "It's just a display skirt, beauty is enough, why bother thinking about so many meanings." ”
In fact, as soon as he saw this bright red skirt, he subconsciously painted it, but this must not be said to Chaolu.
"Don't forget it."
"Yes!" Chaolu picked up the rice paper like a baby, put it aside where Li Yan couldn't reach it, and smiled flatteringly, "How can you not want it!" ”
Chaolu happily patted Li Yan's shoulder, and then waved his little hand, "I have a high salary and I sincerely hire you to be the painter of my Li Ji Buzhuang." ”
Li Yan pulled away Chao Lu's hand and looked businesslike, "How much?" ”
Chao Lu stretched out his hand and compared five in front of him, "I'm adding five coins of silver!" ”
Li Yan squinted at her and slapped away the hand she had placed in front of him, "Why don't you go back and sleep?" ”
He knew where this money fan would have a high-paying job.
Chaolu clenched his hand into a fist and gestured at him: "...... You, you know how to learn from me! ”
Li Yan chuckled, "I, I don't know how to speak!" ”
Chaolu pressed his chest, for fear that he would not come up in one breath and go like this.
In the past few days, those who have paid for everything in the cloth village will receive a handkerchief or sachet according to the amount of money.
These are made of those red silks, the guests have never seen this color bright and no smell is red silk, all look at a strange, there are also many people ask when this color of ready-to-wear can be produced, morning dew are laughing and silent, hooking people's hearts itch but helpless.
Finally, after Chaolu brought back a delicate girl, Shuangchun and Shuangxia made the skirt painted by Li Yan according to the girl's length.
The little girl had bright eyes and bright teeth, and after careful dressing, the original color of the underskirt became twelve points in an instant.
The little girl is a Qing person who plays the pipa in Tianxiang Restaurant, called Qingluo, Chaolu remembered it at a glance, a pair of clear eyes are not stained with worldly dust, and the eyes are really beautiful.
Asaka brought the half-mask she had prepared for her.
Although people are Qing people, they don't have a reason to show up on the street as signboards, and they have to leave some leeway.
"You said that you would give me five dollars of silver for a day of standing outside today, and give me this skirt, right?" Qingluo opened her mouth in a coquettish voice, and Chaolu felt that her bones were a little crispy.
She nodded, "Yes, if it works well today, I can give you more money." ”
She sells this red silk expensively, five taels of silver a horse, not including the cost of processing, if it is earned, it is a big profit, and she doesn't mind being generous.
Qingluo bent the corners of his lips and became more positive.
