Yanxia Town, which is the closest town to Qingshan Village, will hold a big gathering during the New Year's Festival, and the opening time of the market is early and long, and it is very lively.

Compared with other towns in the county, Yanxia Town is particularly prosperous, just because of its superior geographical conditions, convenient travel, and covers an area covered by the county seat of Cangjiang County, which is both a town and a county.

There is a mountain outside the town, overgrown with peach trees, and the spring flowers bloom like a pink mist, hence the name, and Cangjiang County is named after Cangjiang Guan County.

On the way to the market, Du Yingqiu talked to Shan Tao about geography when he had nothing to do, and education is not only learning, but also an important part of educating people.

The villagers who couldn't sleep by the cold wind saw that the little doll of Shan Tao listened to these with relish, and passed the time to say something about the town that they knew, but they just said a few casual words, and were looked at seriously by Shan Tao's almond eyes.

When saying goodbye to the villagers, Shan Tao waved at people with no interest, just saying that he had been taught, and he was very happy to listen.

An aunt remembered that her own unlucky child who was sent to the school for two days and didn't want to go again, and when she parted, she touched and touched the pigtail of the mountain peach to calm down the heat and leave.

Uncle Sun looked at Shan Tao Zhile, whose braids were scattered, "It's still early, the east of the town is open, and everything has to be sold, but do you want me to send you there?" ”

Taking this hitchhiker is already a troublesome person, Du Yingqiu waved her hand again and again to thank her for this kindness, "Brother Sun, you are busy with you, there is no urgency today, I will take Siya to walk around, she has not been to the town yet." ”

Uncle Sun didn't insist, he still had goods to deal with, and he really couldn't be empty to buy, so he agreed with the mother and daughter on the time of return, and drove away.

Holding his mother's hand, Shan Tao followed Du Yingqiu to the lively East Market, because the New Year was approaching, there were many people coming and going, and the sound of selling and bargaining was endless.

Come early and don't hurry, the mother and daughter walked all the way to see it, Shantao rarely saw the folk lively, and Du Yingqiu sighed about the ancient culture.

"This is it." Du Yingqiu took the mountain peach and finally stopped in front of a cloth village, and the plaque read "Splendid Pavilion".

The original owner's best skill is one-handed embroidery, and Du Yingqiu also inherited this, as far as sewing and mending clothes is concerned, no matter how meticulous Jin is, she can't do it like she is dense and without stitches.

In the past, the original owner embroidered some handkerchiefs and fans, and sold them to wandering merchants, and it was the first time that he took the initiative to go to the cloth village with the goods.

This time the goods are different from the past, no matter how clever the original master is, he is limited by his vision after all, and he will get stitches and patterns that are just mediocre, although Shan Tao does not understand female workers, but he has seen the extravagance of the royal family of the Northern Dynasty.

The more the last princes and nobles were more extravagant, and the food and clothing were all expensive, and the most favored step-queen had a jade feather coat, which cost hundreds of kingfisher feathers with pearl jade.

Shan Tao described the pattern, Shan Erlang painted it, and finally Du Yingqiu sewed the finished product, gathering the strength of a family of three, and it took nearly two months of hard work, but only less than ten handkerchiefs were embroidered.

Wearing new clothes in the New Year, the Splendid Pavilion just opened the door today, and it ushered in a lot of customers, looking at the cloth, ordering clothes, the store was busy, and they couldn't take care of the new customers for a while.

Most of the fabrics in the store are plain and dark, many of them are green, and there are a few batches of bright colors, all of which are piled up in the most conspicuous places, and there are also display fans and Xiupa purses and other objects on the counter, which are more delicate than the fabrics, but the patterns are also ordinary.

With just a glance, Shan Tao has more confidence in his embroidery.

A young girl wearing a tender yellow jacket and a pea-green pleated skirt with a double bun came down from upstairs, threw the embroidery in her hand on the stage at will, and pouted: "My young lady's objects for marriage, where can I look down on your bargains, and say that your Jinxiu Pavilion is the best cloth village in the county, that's all?" ”

The girl was followed by a woman with a high bun, with a round face and a smile on her face, and she said good things on her lips, "The daughter of the county order family is gold and jade, and she is busy opening the market today, and the good goods have not been taken out, otherwise I will personally send the embroidery sample to the house another day, and let the lady choose slowly?" ”

In a county seat, the richer ones are the squires, landlords and cultivators, and the county order can be called the head snake of Cangjiang County, and a subordinate in the house can also take Qiao.

Shan Tao listened to it, opened his small satchel, pulled out a pattern with the most complicated pattern, took a few steps and made a step in front of the maid of the county order, showing a big smile, "This sister, the embroidery used as a dowry is complicated, and the store is naturally commonly used, so we will deliver it, how about you look at this pattern?" ”

The soft silk handkerchief was directly shaken away by the mountain peach, and the maid couldn't look at it without looking at it, so she looked at it fixedly, paused, sighed, and raised her hand to take it.

The silk handkerchief material is really average, even inferior, and the color of the embroidery thread is monotonous and dull, but the pattern and stitches are excellent, but the palm-sized silk handkerchief is embroidered with a tangled branch pattern, and the two colorful butterflies flutter between the flowers, which is lifelike.

The silk handkerchief that is generally used with you is at most embroidered with a small pattern in the corner, or a line or two of poems embroidered elegantly, so delicate and full of embroidery, there is no one in the whole splendid pavilion.

"The material is a little worse, but the embroidery pattern and craftsmanship are good." The maid was not in a hurry to leave, her face softened, she pinched the handkerchief and looked down at the mountain peach that was not half as tall as herself, "This is what you embroidered?" ”

"I'm young, how can I do this, it's embroidered by my mother." Shan Tao spoke neatly, pulled Du Yingqiu's sleeve to his side, and took out all the embroidered handkerchiefs in the satchel, "Look, these are all embroidered by my mother, and there are embroideries sold by my mother in the store." ”

The shopkeeper standing behind the maid thought at first that he was here to steal business, but only then did he raise his eyebrows and look at the delicate silk handkerchief, and swallowed the unkind words again.

The maid can only see whether it is worth the money, but the store is an expert, this handkerchief is rare is not the craftsmanship, but the embroidery, graceful and beautiful, Cangjiang County, large and small cloth villages, she has never seen such a pattern.

Listening to Shan Tao's words again, the store looked at Du Yingqiu and didn't think that he had received such a delicate embroidery girl, but he was just a little girl who raised her value for her mother.

But how can the door-to-door business be pushed out, the store should take a bite, "Yes, yes, the green plum girl can take a look?" It's not that I'm boasting, our Splendid Pavilion is also the first one in the cloth shop in Cangjiang County, and other families may not be able to get these. ”

It is estimated that Qingmei has indeed seen a lot of cloth villages, and after a glance at the stack of embroidered handkerchiefs, he took them in his hand, "It's okay to look at, but maybe my wife will have to palm, help me wrap these first." ”

The shopkeeper smiled a little deeper when he heard this, and when he looked at Du Yingqiu, he also had a little more solemnity, she confiscated a penny of Qingmei for this stack of handkerchiefs, wrapped it and sent it out for a good student, and immediately pulled back to greet the mother and daughter when she saw that she was far away.

"I don't know what to call this lady? Don't worry, I took all of those just now, and I won't let you suffer. ”

Du Yingqiu held Shantao's little hand and bowed slightly, "My husband's surname is Shan, and you call Shanniang is." The splendid pavilion is the best cloth in the county, and it will not lose me the money of an embroidery girl. ”

is neither humble nor arrogant, and without a trace of holding people, this business has made a good start.
