Chapter 434: A Reward of Two Hundred Taels of Silver
Looking at the scattered silver in his hand, Li Caiyun covered his mouth excitedly, and his gaze kept turning back and forth between Shen Youqiu and the silver in disbelief.
"Really, really making so much money."
She was so excited that she couldn't express it, and after a while, she suddenly hugged Shen Youqiu, and said happily in her ear excitedly, "Thank you, thank you really much, Youqiu."
"It's all your craft."
Shen Youqiu also said with a smile.
The vendor next to him was shocked to see that they were selling things so expensive, and they could sell so many handkerchiefs, and they stared at their handkerchiefs and thought, do you want to sell something else?
Shen Youqiu and the two closed the stall, and the girl who came to them before happened to come, followed by a woman, who was about thirty or forty years old, with a plain face, but there was a sense of majesty, but there was a bit of arrogance in her face, which made people feel a sense of distance.
"Looks like you're doing a good business."
The girl glanced at the stalls they had put away, and said directly, "Let's go, I have booked a box in Shengjing Building, and we can go and talk about business."
A quarter of an hour later, several people sat down downstairs in Shengjing.
After some introduction, everyone knew each other's names, the girl claimed that her surname was Liu, her nickname was Yingying, and the woman who looked a little arrogant turned out to be Yun Niang, the owner of Minghuang Pavilion, a well-known clothing shop in the capital, and also the clothing designer that Minghuang Pavilion relied on.
Nowadays, most of the fashionable clothing styles in the capital are from this woman, and the beauty reflected in the clothing style designed by her has also attracted the praise of the Chinese people in Beijing, so she can be regarded as a very high-status person in the capital, and ordinary people need to spend a great price if they want to ask her to make clothes.
And if she herself is unwilling, she will not spend a thousand taels of gold to customize clothes for others.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, I have asked Yun Niang to start preparing the clothes, and Yun Niang may have relatively high requirements for clothes at that time, embroidery style, material, thread, and even embroidery method, she will have requirements, and what Sister-in-law Zhang needs to do is to complete the ready-to-wear according to Yun Niang's requirements."
Liu Yingying changed her laughing and relaxed appearance outside, and said to Zhang Caiyun with a serious expression: "If you take this job, you must take it seriously, you must not slack off, you must complete it wholeheartedly, and this dress must not have a little flaw." qs
"Of course, if it can be completed according to my request, the reward is two hundred taels of silver."
Her previous words made Zhang Caiyun a little nervous, but as soon as the two hundred taels of silver came out, her eyes widened, her heart pounded, and then she subconsciously looked at Shen Youqiu.
"Sister Zhang, you decide for yourself." Shen Youqiu gave her an encouraging look back.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Caiyun made up his mind, looked at Liu Yingying with a firm expression, and said slowly, word by word: "I'm not sure if I can technically meet this sister's requirements, but I can guarantee that as long as I have a breath, I will definitely do my best to complete your requirements, and I will never slack off!"
Hearing this, Liu Yingying smiled, looked back at Yun Niang, who had never spoken, and said with a smile: "I think this sister-in-law is good, how about you take a look?"
Yun Niang nodded, took out the handkerchief that Liu Yingying bought just now from her arms, and muttered for a while before saying to Zhang Caiyun: "To be honest, I can see that you shouldn't have a master, your embroidery is really good, the embroidery is solid, and you are very patient, but the handling of many details is poor, so in fact, I am not satisfied with you at all."
Her expression was cold, her tone was critical, and she was visibly dissatisfied.
Zhang Caiyun nervously held his palm.
"But—" Shen Youqiu wanted to help her intercede, but was caught by Zhang Caiyun.
"Sister Yun Niang is telling the truth." Zhang Caiyun shook his head at her and said in a deep voice, "I really don't understand a lot of things."
Seeing this, Yun Niang nodded, then looked at Shen Youqiu and Liu Yingying, and said, "I have to conduct an assessment on her, which involves some secrets of our garment making and female workers, so the two of you will go out first."
Wait a minute."
"Okay." Liu Yingying nodded happily.
And after Shen Youqiu gave Zhang Caiyun a comforting and encouraging look, he also walked out.
"Don't worry, I trust Sister-in-law Zhang."
Liu Yingying smiled: "Although she has a lot of shortcomings compared to many senior embroiderers, I believe in my vision, she is very talented and patient, with Yun Niang's guidance, she will soon be better than anyone else."
"If the clothes you want are so important, how can you think of finding a random embroidery girl on the street?" Shen Youqiu asked her curiously.
"It was supposed to be someone else, but there was a sudden incident at the embroidery girl's house, and the time couldn't catch up." Liu Yingying waved her hand and explained with a smile, "I just saw the handkerchiefs you sell, and I feel that the patterns and embroidery methods on them are very unique. The point is that I looked at the more than ten handkerchiefs embroidered, and the stitches on them were exactly the same, with strength, density, length, without the slightest deviation, just this point, most of the embroiderers couldn't do it, Sister Zhang's hands were too stable!"
As she spoke, she became a little excited, "So, I believe that Sister Zhang will definitely be very powerful in the future!"
"I see."
The two waited in the private seat outside for about half an hour, and the door of the private room finally opened, Yun Niang sat in the first place, with a faint smile on her face, while Zhang Caiyun's face was red, her breathing accelerated, and her bright eyes seemed to be flashing with a lot of light, especially when she looked at Yun Niang, there was a sense of worship inside.
"That's it."
Yun Niang smiled: "I have agreed with Caiyun, and she will come to my embroidery building in a few days, and then officially start work."
"Okay."
The two sides said yes, and then they dispersed.
On the way back, Shen Youqiu looked at Zhang Caiyun with a flushed face with excitement, and his heart was also very relaxed, so he asked, "It seems that you have a very easy time in this assessment."
Zhang Caiyun waved his hand again and again, a little embarrassed; "Actually, I didn't have much assessment at all, but that Yun Niang told me a lot of things that I didn't understand at all, or hadn't heard of, I just felt like I had seen a new world, Yooqiu, do you understand that feeling?"
She stared at Shen Youqiu happily, her hands constantly moving around because of excitement and joy, as if she didn't know where to put them.
"It's like that, it seems that I know a lot of things at once, and there are a lot of things that I couldn't understand in my mind, and I can figure it out at once."
