Chapter 34: There's Always Nasty
"What's wrong?" Shopkeeper Wu came in and asked with a smile.
"I see that the environment here is not suitable for painting, I want to change her position, shopkeeper, is there a suitable room here?" Chaolu said indifferently.
The shopkeeper still smiled and said, "Ouch, my aunt, you have everything, but there is no suitable house, and the houses here are all right." ”
Chao Lu frowned, and Sister Zhao was a little proud on the side, looking at her with a sneer.
"If the shopkeeper can't find a suitable room, I'm afraid the new design won't be drawn." Chaolu said shallowly.
"This." The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed.
"You also know that painting is supposed to have a good environment." Chaolu said.
The shopkeeper calculated in his heart that it would be one or two halves of silver to invite her a month, and it would be too expensive to have a special room, but because of what Chaolu said, he had to reluctantly agree, "There is an attic on the second floor, and I will let people clean up the debris later, and it can barely be used." ”
"Okay, in that case, by the way, call a few people to come and help me clean up the cloth." Chaolu said flatly, there is a tough battle to be fought today, and it is only good to work after laying a solid foundation. Thinking so, she went to the hall and began to move the cloth.
When the sun set, Chaolu didn't even allocate half of the fabric to play, but it was carefully divided into categories, and the various fabrics were arranged to be placed, and it would be almost the same when they were made tomorrow.
Seeing the satisfactory results, Chaolu sent a hand, wiped the sweat from her face, and thanked the store for a touch of red light to come in, she remembered that she had to collect today's homework, and almost forgot about it.
"The sun is setting, it's time to hand over your results for today." Chaolu said, waiting for them to cut the thread and bring it over.
Chaolu took a general look, although the topic was a little more difficult, but they all had their own ideas, thinking that they would receive a semi-finished product, but when they looked at it, because of the simple design, they were all completed.
Chaolu is very satisfied, it seems that everyone's embroidery is very good, and tomorrow I will get a difficult topic.
"That's all for today, everyone be careful when you go back." Chaolu accepted the embroidery and said to the two people.
Then I went to the attic again, and saw that Xu Jing was still painting, so I walked over to see it with gentle steps.
She was painting a goose-yellow full-breasted skirt, which was very gentle and elegant, and Chaolu couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, awesome, this shopkeeper Wu can invite you here, it's all his blessing." ”
"It's just a casual drawing." Xu Jing said modestly.
"Okay, it's time to pack up whatever you painted." Chaolu said, taking the pen in her hand and putting it down.
Xu Jing was a little surprised all of a sudden, "I didn't expect it to be this time, you go back, don't worry about me." ”
Chaolu looked at her, seemed to have guessed something, and invited her with a smile, "Why don't you go to my house with me today." ”
"How does this work?" She refused.
Chao Lu took her hand, "There is no one in my family who is the same age as me, I see that the two of us are chatting, compared to fate, anyway, you just came from home today, and you are not familiar with life, so it is better to come to my house, and the two of us can have a companion." ”
Xu Jing listened, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
The two returned home, and after dinner, Chaolu led her to her room. It's rare to meet someone who can talk, and Chaolu chatted with her for a long time before resting.
When he woke up the next morning, Liu Qing had already made the cake. The four of them came to town together.
As soon as the morning dew came, he asked them to choose a kind of fabric and make a dress based on yesterday's embroidery.
The three of them were naturally very happy, this is their specialty, of course, Chaolu's idea is not so simple, it depends on the design.
"You have to do it carefully, sit down with these three questions, and I will let people select the best work, and then she will not only be the main tailor of our family, but also have a reward of 100 wen." Chaolu said.
As soon as they heard such a generous reward, the three of them were a little excited, and they were much more efficient in doing things. She arranged Xu Jing's task again, and asked her to design two sets of clothes in today's time.
After assigning the task, she began to organize the fabrics. Waiting until noon to sell cakes again, Chaolu pinched her shoulders, she didn't expect to be so tired, but after a while, there will be a lot of income, and she will be even more energetic, and the hard work is always worth it.
I went to see Liu Qing at noon, she didn't make clothes directly, but drew a dress and chose the fabric at noon.
"Mother, is it too late?" Chaolu was a little worried, although she knew that Liu Qing's skills were actually very good, but it would still be a little difficult to make a dress in an afternoon.
"Don't worry, I'm fast, and besides, I have my own ideas." Liu Qing said unhurriedly.
Chaolu heard her say this, and her heart was also a lot more steady. I went to see the other two, but I couldn't see any effect at the moment, so I didn't bother them anymore.
Chaolu found the shopkeeper Wu and told him his intentions for this competition and asked him to make financial support.
"What's the point of you coming to tell me after you've done all this, if I don't promise you this money, I won't want to do business in the future." Shopkeeper Wu opened his mouth a little angrily.
Chaolu was a little unhappy, and he didn't know how he was the shopkeeper, the problem was that he could still insist that Buzhuang had not closed for so many years, and he was also admired.
"I want to see how much ability they have, and I am sure that three tailors in the back shop are not enough, and the number of people who paint clothes will definitely increase, so I have to select competent people to help me manage them later." Asaka explained calmly.
"Okay, okay, I know this is your long-term plan, I said that the store will be managed by you, anyway, the loss will be shared equally between the two of you, you have a sense of proportion." The shopkeeper asked for it and spoke helplessly.
Chaolu smiled faintly, this shopkeeper is really interesting, and he is not unreasonable.
When it was time to make the handiwork, Chao Lu came to collect the clothes, and saw that the clothes of the two people were hanging on the shelves, and Liu Qing was indeed spread flat on the table, she couldn't help but be a little curious and walked over to see.
It turned out that in order to save time, she made a smaller version of the clothes, and the designed clothes looked much better, plus the original material was unique, but it was the icing on the cake, as for the clothes of the other two, except for the embroidery, the others looked very ordinary, without much innovation.
It seems that the mother must have won the second round, and Chaolu is happy for her in her heart.
"It's not early, everyone go back to prepare for tomorrow's game, let me reveal it first, the subject matter is very wide." Chaolu smiled and said mysteriously.
After that, he turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Sister Zhao whispering to Aunt Qian: "Hmph, don't say it if you don't want to say it, what's mysterious." ”
Chao Lu glanced back at her and didn't speak, anyway, if you don't prepare, tomorrow you will know what regret is.
Shopkeeper Wu came out at this time, stopped the three, and said: "Everyone has worked hard today, I also heard about this competition, the first place will serve as the head of the tailor team of our store, as for the last place, if the difference between the second place is too far, it is likely to be dismissed, or can not continue to be a tailor, can only do some other work." ”
"No one knows the exam questions tomorrow, besides, Li Chaolu is with her mother, who knows if she will reveal it." Sister Zhao complained again.
