Chapter 438: Handmade Soap
"My sister is too polite to see the outside! If it weren't for your inspiration, my sister and I would have run out of talent, and my inspiration would have dried up! Don't worry, my sister won't treat you badly! In the future, you and Mrs. Fang's clothes, we will pack them in the exquisite embroidery workshop! Every quarter, my sister makes a dress for you and Mrs. Fang. And the profits from the sale of this flag outfit will be given to my sister in 20% - don't refuse. Otherwise, I'll throw these drawings into the brazier! ”
If Jiang Siniang was not a strong person, she would not have withstood the pressure, showed up to take over the Linglong embroidery workshop that was on the verge of closing, and used her own strength and efforts to achieve the current reputation and embroidery workshop.
This Jiang Siniang today. I was going to find the designer of the new clothes on Mr. Yu's body and buy the drawings and design plans. I didn't expect Yu Xiaocao, the designer of the clothes, to be so kind-hearted that she recognized her as a sister with a different surname.
She has always been honest in doing business, and she is polite and courteous in her dealings with people. She, who is a sister, naturally will not take advantage of her sister. Not only did he promise to help Xiaocao and Mrs. Fang make clothes, but he also wanted to convert Xiaocao's design ideas into a component and give dividends at the end of the year.
With the current strength of the Yu family, Xiaocao doesn't care about whether to give any dividends. However, feeling Jiang Siniang's resolute attitude, he was not polite to her: "Then I will be cheeky to accept the gift from my sister." ”
Jiang Siniang showed a happy smile at this time, got up and said: "I'll go back first, I have to sort out these drawings again, and draw up a contract for dividends, and let Xiang'er send them to you in a while." ”
Yu Xiaocao wanted to keep her for lunch, but she refused on the grounds that there was something in the embroidery workshop to let her take the idea. Xiaocao was not reluctant, and asked people to take a basket with a few watermelons and melons for her to bring.
After getting into the carriage, Xiang'er happily put the watermelon and melon away, and said, "Miss, Miss Yu is quite generous, and these watermelons alone cost a hundred taels of silver." In the vegetable and fruit shop in Jingwangfu, a medium watermelon costs ten taels of silver! At such a price, it is not always possible to buy it. They sell only 50 watermelons and 30 melons every day......"
After a pause, he covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I heard that the Duke of Wei held a birthday banquet, in order to let each table have a long face on a fruit plate, let the subordinates line up in the middle of the night. It happened that his nemesis, Prince Rong's family, was also going to hold a banquet, and the two families almost fought in order to compete for priority!! The greenhouse melons and fruits on the Yangjun Wang Zhuangzi are not like chickens that lay golden eggs. ”
"Then do you know who made this greenhouse that can grow vegetables and fruits in winter?" Jiang Siniang looked at the design in her hand, and asked casually without raising her head.
"How don't you know? Who in Beijing doesn't know Lord Yu, the agricultural official of the household department? Not only can it grow high-yield grain, but it can also grow vegetables and fruits out of season. In the future, the old ladies and ladies in Beijing will have good mouths!! Who would have thought that it would be a teenage girl who made such a huge contribution? Xiang'er looked envious and adoring.
"Sister Xiaocao is not only very talented in planting, but also has a high level of accomplishment in cooking. Many of the best-selling dishes at Zhen Cuisine are said to have been developed by her. The medical skills are also good, and they have cured the illness of the little prince in the palace! Thinking of that girl who was five or six years younger than herself, she had such a ability, Jiang Siniang had to admire!
There were stars flashing in Xiang'er's eyes, she held her cheeks, and seemed to sigh and murmur: "Master Yu looks like he is only eleven or twelve years old, and he actually has such a wide range of knowledge and can be so proficient." Is this what genius is called? ”
Jiang Siniang's eyes were reluctant to leave the design drawings of the flag costumes, and she couldn't go back and immediately turn these drawings into a set of beautiful costumes. She can think of what kind of hurricane these otherworldly designs will set off in the capital!
Hearing this, she nodded approvingly, and from the words of her relatives alone, she could extract many special elements and make dazzling clothes. If Sister Xiaocao puts some more effort into drawing, I'm afraid that soon her title of "the first weaver and embroiderer in the Ming Dynasty" will be replaced.
Not to mention how Jiang Siniang returned home, how to forget to sleep and eat, and embroider flag costumes day and night. After she left, Yu Xiaocao went back to the inner courtyard, climbed up the soft collapse next to the fire wall, and lazily half lay down. By her side, Mrs. Fang quietly listened to He Chun's chatter.
"Madam, you don't know how powerful Miss is!! Just a few words, let everyone treat Jiang sincerely as sisters! There are also those novel flag costumes in the mouth of the young lady, the slave and maid are fascinated when they hear it, and the drawings drawn by the Jiang everyone based on the clothes in the young lady's mouth, although they are only black and white, are all loved. When I think that soon after, those popular flag outfits in everyone's ladies are picking up our young lady's teeth, and the slave maid has a feeling of raising her eyebrows! After all, He Chun is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and she is sincerely proud to serve such a young lady.
Yu Xiaocao smiled indifferently and said: "That's Sister Jiang, who is powerful, able to refine and sublimate what I think in my heart and what I say in my mouth." She is the real power of the clothing industry! ”
He Chun also agreed, but she still felt that her young lady was amazing: "Everyone Jiang also said that without the inspiration of the young lady, she would never have been able to design such a unique and beautiful costume." Miss is her hero! ”
Linglong, who has always been steady, also joked: "To make Jiang everyone really intersect, our girl is the first one in the Beijing girl!" ”
He Chun nodded like pounding garlic, and a gorgeous flower bloomed on his face with a smile: "Madam, guess! What did Jiang promise to Miss? ”
"What was promised? Make clothes for us? For her daughter, Mrs. Fang felt that there was nothing bad, "Cao'er, you are getting older, it is time to have a few sets of costume jewelry that can go out!" ”
The smile on He Chun's face deepened: "In the future, when Miss goes out, she will wear the clothes embroidered by Jiang and everyone for you, one set per season, which will definitely make those noble ladies with noses on the top of their heads envious of little rabbits!" ”
"One set per season? Every year?? Mrs. Fang was pleasantly surprised, you must know that the competition is beautiful, and being able to have a dress made by Jiang Siniang herself is enough for her to be in the circle for a whole year, not to mention that she can have a set in every season.
"Not only Miss, but also Madame!! It is also a set of seasons, and it is made by Jiang everyone. Jiang also said that the first flag outfit was according to your size, Mrs. You are the first lady in the capital to have a flag costume! As soon as He Chun's words came out, the girls in the room let out exclamations and said hello to their masters.
Mrs. Fang couldn't believe her ears, so Jiang Siniang and her daughter had the same interests, so it was just a matter of helping her make clothes. I didn't expect that the girl's weight in Jiang Siniang's heart was not light, and people actually loved the house and Wu, and promised her clothes. Who in Beijing doesn't know that the Jiang family in the Linglong Embroidery Workshop easily doesn't make clothes for people. How lucky she was!
"Cao'er, Jiang everyone treats each other like this, and the courtesies are still exchanged, we should also repay the favor!" Mrs. Fang pondered what she could do at home.
Yu Xiaocao said without thinking: "Big deal, this winter, I have the vegetables and fruits of the Jiang family!" ”
He Chun wanted to speak and stopped: "Miss, the reason why everyone Jiang promised to help you and your wife make clothes is because of the style of the flag you gave her, if you supply other people's vegetables and fruits, isn't it a little ......?"
Mrs. Fang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What He Chun said is that if there are too many interests between friends, it will not be pure. However, some innocuous small gifts are still okay. Don't you like to make dim sum? You can occasionally send some newly developed snacks for her to taste. ”
He Chun's eager expression, looking at Xiaocao's eyes, she smiled: "If you want to say it, just say it, and no one has blocked your mouth!" Why do you do that weird look? ”
He Chun smiled and said, "Miss, in fact, we also have novel items that can be given as small gifts to girlfriends!" "The word girlfriend is still what she heard from the young lady. Jiang Siniang should be her own young lady's best friend in the future, right?
Xiaocao's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, those handmade soaps?" ”
He Chun nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes!" The slave maid tried for a long time according to the method you said, and finally made aloe vera handmade soap and honey milk soap, and is waiting for Miss to come back and accept it! ”
"Go, show me it!" Yu Xiaocao's heart was excited.
Speaking of handmade soap, when she washed her face one morning, she sighed at the poor soap: "This soap is expensive and has average functions." It can't moisturize or whiten, it's not worth it! ”
He Chun, this girl, is the most smelly and beautiful on weekdays, and she likes to make some rouge gouache and the like. When I heard the soap for five taels of silver, it became a disdainful thing in the mouth of the young lady. She has a kind of personality cult for Xiaocao, pestering her master to say what kind of soap is a soap that can moisturize and whiten. Xiaocao casually said two simple methods of handmade soap. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, He Chun kept it in his heart and secretly tried to do it. I didn't expect that it had only been more than a month of hard work, and this guy really made it out!
When He Chun brought two pieces of handmade soap of unknown shape, the other girls in the room covered their mouths and smiled. That piece of aloe vera handmade soap, a green lump, looks like someone pinched the broken vegetable dumplings. The piece of honey and milk, the color is yellow and not yellow and not white, like expired cheese. Are you sure this thing works?
Wutong has just been robbed of the limelight by her, and now she can seize the opportunity to bury her: "He Chun, what kind of handmade soap are you talking about?" Are you sure you didn't make something bad and use it to fool Miss? Who would dare to use such a thing? ”
