Chapter 13 Selling Embroidery
Tang Zhi'an saw that Lin Qiu'er liked the things he made very much, and his heart was happy, this may be what he can take out.
Lin Qiu'er made clothes for herself, so he naturally had to make something for her.
Tang Zhi'an glanced at Lin Qiu'er's embroidery, and the whole person was shocked, he didn't expect Lin Qiu'er's embroidery skills to be so superb.
The embroidered flowers are just like the real ones, although he doesn't understand them, but he can see that they are really beautiful.
When Lin Qiu'er saw him looking at his embroidery, she smiled and said, "How do you feel?" Is it good-looking? ”
Tang Zhian smiled stupidly, "It's good-looking." ”
Lin Qiu'er said to Tang Zhi'an: "You hurry up and help me move this embroidery frame in, and I will continue to embroider tomorrow." “
Tang Zhian nodded and helped move in.
In late autumn, there were no vegetables at home, so Lin Qiu'er went to Ye Lan's house once, only to know that at this time, people in the village generally dried vegetables or prepared cabbage, and there were no fresh vegetables to eat in their mountain villages in winter.
Ye Lan glanced at Lin Qiu'er and knew that they definitely didn't have vegetables at home, so she said to her, "Why don't you get some from our house!" ”
Lin Qiu'er shook her head, "Forget it, I'll think of a way!" You must have prepared it for your family, and if I take it, it won't be enough for you to spend the winter. ”
When Lin Qiu'er returned home, she told Tang Zhi'an about it, and finally the two of them decided to go to the town once, and some people would sell cabbage and radishes at this time, so they had to buy some quickly.
decided to go to the town, this morning, the two of them set off in a hurry, Tang Zhian pushed the flatbed car back at home, to buy a winter vegetables, there must be a lot, he has no way to carry it back.
When they arrived in the town, the two of them went to the street where the country people sold things, and many people were selling things in their own fields, Lin Qiu'er bought seventy catties of cabbage, fifty catties of radish, and soybeans and mung beans also bought some.
After buying these vegetables, she went to buy two catties of pork, and Lin Qiu'er also went to buy some sauce, vinegar, salt and other things.
After getting all this done, the flatbed truck was already full, Tang Zhian pushed forward, and Lin Qiu'er followed alongside and also helped push the cart.
When Tang Zhi'an saw it, he hurriedly said: "No need, you just walk your way well, you don't need to help me push the cart, I can do it myself." ”
Lin Qiu'er didn't agree, "It's okay, I'll help you, you can be easier." ”
Tang Zhi'an was not enough, so he could only nod and agree in the end, but he silently added some strength, just hoping that Lin Qiu'er could be easier.
After arriving at the house, the two of them hurriedly put down their things, Lin Qiu'er sat on the side panting, and Tang Zhian went to the kitchen to pour her a bowl of water.
"Drink some water and get some rest."
Lin Qiu'er took it, quickly took a big sip, sat on the stool and slowly recovered.
Tang Zhian first went to the vegetable cellar in the yard to clean up, these vegetables must be put in the vegetable cellar, otherwise they will definitely freeze.
After Tang Zhi'an cleaned up the vegetable cellar, he said to Lin Qiu'er: "I'll put these vegetables in the vegetable cellar." ”
Lin Qiu'er hurriedly stood up and said, "Put forty catties of cabbage, and I will pickle the rest into sauerkraut, and I will also pickle ten catties of radish." ”
This is when she was shopping for vegetables just now, she thought that if she simply ate cabbage and radish, she might have to eat them in winter, so she had to make these vegetables taste different.
Tang Zhi'an heard her words and nodded, "Okay, I'll leave what you need for you." ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded, "By the way, is there a jar at home?" ”
Tang Zhian shook his head, "No, I'll go to the town tomorrow to buy you some!" ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded, "Okay." ”
She needs these things, and now she doesn't have them at home, so she has to let Tang Zhi'an prepare, but this day is slowly getting cold, maybe when the snow will close the mountain, and then they won't be able to get out.
So the things that should be prepared had to be prepared quickly, but there was still a shortage of silver at home, so she had to embroider the screen quickly.
It's been embroidering for more than ten days, and it's estimated that it will come out in a day or two, and this time it's an urgent need for money, so she is working overtime, and she can't be so tight in the future, otherwise her eyes will have problems sooner or later.
During this time, she felt that her eyes were always dry and painful, which was overuse, so after this screen was embroidered, if she embroidered it in the future, she would have to be slower.
The next day, Tang Zhian went to the town to buy four jars and came back, as well as several smaller jars, which were still pushed back by a flatbed truck.
Lin Qiu'er embroidered the screen in the yard, and asked Tang Zhian to clean these jars and put them in the yard to dry for an afternoon, and she could pickle the sauerkraut after embroidering the screen.
After embroidering for another three days, the screen in Lin Qiu'er's hand was finally embroidered, and she also asked Tang Zhi'an to make a screen frame for her.
His hands are really skillful, and the pattern of the screen frame made is beautiful, and the size is also suitable for the screen embroidered by Lin Qiuer.
Lin Qiu'er took her embroidery off the embroidery frame, and then put it on the screen shelf, and then closed it up and down, and this beautiful screen was ready.
Looking at the screen she made, Lin Qiuer really didn't want to sell it, although it was just a small screen, it was really beautiful.
The next morning, Lin Qiu'er found a piece of cloth to wrap the embroidered screen, and Tang Zhi'an took his prey for the past few days, three pheasants and two hares, to the town together.
Tang Zhian was not worried that Lin Qiu'er would go to Buzhuang alone, so he went to sell his prey first, and finally the two went to Buzhuang together.
After arriving, seeing Lin Qiu'er coming, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Miss Lin, is the screen embroidered?" ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded and took out the screen.
The shopkeeper looked at it, and the smile on his face never disappeared, it was so beautiful, he had never seen this kind of embroidery technique at all.
This Miss Lin is really not to be underestimated, "Yes, Miss Lin, your embroidery skills are really superb." ”
Lin Qiu'er didn't speak, just smiled faintly.
The shopkeeper said: "Since Miss Lin, you really want to cooperate with me, then I will definitely not lie to you, so I will naturally give you the price sincerely, how about a hundred taels of silver?" ”
Lin Qiu'er thought about it in her heart and said, "Shopkeeper, since you said that you really talked to me about the price, then I think you can mention this price again?" ”
The shopkeeper's face was a little ugly, but finally he said, "Okay, how about I add another ten taels of silver to you?" ”
Lin Qiu'er knew in her heart that if this screen went to the county seat, it would be at least one hundred and fifty taels of silver, but she couldn't help but let others make money, so she nodded and agreed, "Yes." ”
