Regular sulfur soap is just a yellow box. The more expensive it is, the more beautiful the box will be. The porcelain boxes all have the same word 'Avon' on them. The porcelain workshop is also looking for Hou Da, I have to say, this is a capable person, Huang Sheng and that kid are also very old-fashioned, and the people given by the old lady are really good. Especially for the box of high-grade soap, the white porcelain used is transparent and thin, and there is a painting on it, so there is no same box, but there is the word 'Avon' at the bottom of the box, and there is also this word on the soap. The boxes are sealed with wax so that the aroma does not disperse.

The pearl also asked people to buy some fine white jade and green jade, which were carved, and inlaid gold and silver on the corners, and gave five pieces of two high-grade soaps. Let someone send it to the old lady. This soap is not from the factory, but from the space, and the effect is more significant than that made in the factory. Pearl also told the old lady in the letter that these five pieces of soap are difficult to find and valuable, so they cannot be mass-produced, so they can only be used by their own families.

The old lady got this treasure, of course, she knew the meaning of the pearl, and asked her to carefully collect the soap, planning to wait for a large batch of shipments or when the time was right, and then give it to the nobles in the palace and the powerful people in the capital.

The pearl lived on the Zhuangzi like a fish in water, and after embroidering the lotus flower in the rain, he began to embroider a statue of the Virgin again. The characteristics of this new statue of the Virgin are very realistic, the shadows are also very well handled, and the glow behind the Virgin is also embroidered with momentum, and the mountains and rivers behind him are all at the feet of the Virgin. Surrounded by angels. For this embroidered image, Pearl chose a piece of white silk six feet long and three feet wide. While embroidering, there is also a desire to precipitate the mood of the meaning, embroidered very seriously, nothing to embroider in the space, embroidered this, on the plan to embroider his baby dogs, now pearl in addition to taking care of the child every day, to make more milk meals for themselves, is embroidery, and after two months, the statue of the Virgin Mary became.

Thinking that his embroidery drawings are good, but because he does not have a base, the price has been reduced, and Pearl is unwilling, so he sent a letter to the shopkeeper Liu in the city, and the letter also attached the design and size of the base of the screen. Let the shopkeeper Liu help find the best sandalwood to make, and the handiwork must be exquisite. I'm waiting for two large embroideries! After thinking about it, Pearl drew a small interstitial base, this base is new, and everything else is no different from other circular interstitials, except that there is an extra semicircle in the middle of the circle of this interstitial.

More than a month later, Shopkeeper Liu said that the screen had been done, the base of the interstitial screen had also been done, and Pearl had finished embroidering the small interstitial embroidery. For this reason, Pearl also has to go to Fucheng in person. So they brought the Fang clan and asked her to follow them to Fucheng, and they also took Huairen with them. Huairen has now passed six months, and he is very lively and strong. Pearl took him out alone, and he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of him. Liu Tonghammer drove his own ox cart and set off with the pearl.

When he arrived in Zhuozhou in the evening, Pearl took his parents and children to the hotel first, and the next morning, he handed over the child to Fang's family, and he went to find Liu's shopkeeper with a large package and Liu Tonghammer.

"Little lady of the Ming family, but I haven't seen you for a long time! I'm thinking of you! ”

Pearl smiled, "Shopkeeper Liu is thinking about what business I can bring you, right?" ”

That's a good point. Haha......" Shopkeeper Liu smiled while saying that the pearl was led to a warehouse, where there was a screen shelf made of pearls. Looking at the workmanship of this shelf, Pearl was really satisfied, and asked Liu Tonghammer to guard at the door, and then opened the package he was carrying. Talk about the three embroidered pictures inside and take them out to show the shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu often goes in and out of large households, of course, these things are very familiar, seeing the embroidered picture of pearls, Shopkeeper Liu said, "These three screen shelves cost a total of 320 taels of silver." The little lady put this embroidery picture on it. This large screen is worth 30,000 yuan, to say the least. How about a small 5,000 or a little one? Little lady, give me this big screen! ”

"This embroidery is the most labor-intensive, less so, sent to the capital, sold to foreigners, how much do you say it can be worth." The statue of the Virgin is made of a lot of gold and silver thread! The lotus picture is copied from a modern master, and no one appreciates it. Pearl took out the small embroidered picture again, and the shopkeeper Liu took it and understood that this was a picture of two wolf dogs looking in the mirror, cute and cute, and the part separated by the circular frame happened to be the mirror facing the dog. In the mirror, there is exactly the face of each dog. Such a cleverly conceived embroidery picture is also a loss to her to think of, shopkeeper Liu said. "So be it! I want three embroidered pictures" 8,000 taels. ”

"10,000 taels."

Shopkeeper Liu thought about it, looked at the embroidery again, nodded in agreement, and Pearl hurriedly said, "I won't give the money for the screen shelf." ”

"Huh...... Okay! That's it. ”

When the silver ticket arrived, Pearl went shopping in Liu's shopkeeper's shop, and his trading house was actually mainly engaged in wholesale. The main thing is to send goods from the north and Russia to the capital and the south, and at the same time, to the north and abroad to collect goods from the interior. The Southern Comptoir is just the opposite, the difference is that they import from abroad to a few small countries on the South Seas side, and send goods to the whole country. Although there is a crossover in business, there is definitely a boundary. He also imported some things from the north, and of course, some fashionable things from the south and the coast, he also sold them here, such as clocks, music boxes, pearls and Western feather yarn and satin, and other messy things.

Pearl walked over to a few large rocks and stopped, and it was very difficult for her to suppress the excitement in her heart, because she recognized that this was the rough stone of jade! Some places have been cut open, but how can they be put here like rags? Pearl turned around and asked Shopkeeper Liu,

"What is this?"

"Those who came from the south said that it was jade, but in the eyes of the craftsmen, it was not good jade at all, and the deal was ruined."

Pearl frowned and asked, "Did you get into a lot of these stones?" ”

"Twelve pieces! It cost me 200 taels of silver! ”

Pearl walked over and touched the cut facet, it was imperial green! Pearl walked to the side of Shopkeeper Liu and said, "I don't care if it's jade or not, I think it's okay to look good, I think the jewelry made of this stone must be beautiful." Then give me the twelve stones. Then help me invite a few good masters, let them toss casually, the large ones will be carved into ornaments, and the small ones will make bracelets, bead chains, or ring faces for me, what do you think? ”

"Little lady, you have to think about it!"

"Shopkeeper Liu, when did you hesitate when you saw me? Come on, let's write the contract. "Pearl can't wait to sign a contract right away,

Here, Pearl wrote a contract with Shopkeeper Liu, and on the other side, the jade carving master also came, and Pearl made a contract with the master. Let them design and play freely, it must be exquisite and beautiful, they can play freely. The rest of the material is made into bracelets and bead chains or ring faces, which don't need to be told by pearls at all.

Before leaving, Pearl left 200 taels of jade money and gave the workers a deposit of 50 taels for manual fees. Then he went back with the rest of the silver ticket. (To be continued.) )
