Before the young man left, Situ Xi asked him to disperse the crowd of onlookers, and soon only the three of them were left in front of this small stall, and it was only now more spacious.

"Thank you for breaking the siege."

The sisters' words of thanks were very crisp and neat, and their voices were very similar.

"What do you call a girl?"

"The little girl's surname is Su, her name is Heluo, and the little sister's name is Hejiu." Su Heluo did not hesitate, and directly told Situ Xi their names.

Seeing that Situ Xi was accompanied by such a beautiful maid when he traveled and the female companion beside him who covered his face but had an excellent temperament, he naturally knew that he was different from the person before.

"Miss Su, are all these embroideries made by your own hands?"

Walking into this small stall, Situ Xi was able to see clearly all kinds of purses, handkerchiefs, sachets and other things placed on the table, which were embroidered with extremely exquisite and elegant patterns, most of them were some flower branches and leaves, and the silk thread was extremely fine, which showed that the craftsmanship of this maker was good.

"Yes, Childe, these were all sewn recently."

This embroidery style is very similar to the Suzhou embroidery of the previous life, and these delicate lines and all kinds of elegant floral patterns make Situ Xi think of the "Hui embroidery" mentioned in "Dream of Red Mansions", or it should be said that "Hui Wen", the embroidery level of the sisters should be top-notch.

Reaching out and picking up a pale cyan purse from the tabletop, it was also embroidered with the delicate word "comfortable".

"How does the lady feel?" Situ Xi handed the purse to Zhong Lixuan.

At home, Zhong is often embarrassed to make some simple female red, and she certainly knows more about this embroidery than Situ Xi.

"This craftsmanship is better than all the famous artists that the concubine has seen before." Zhong Lixuan rubbed his hand lightly on the pattern of the purse.

Nodding, Situ Xi looked up at Su Heluo, took out some silver coins from his pocket and put them on the table.

"Miss Su, can you show me a little bit of your embroidery skills?"

"Childe, you just helped us, and we must not accept this money." When Su Heluo saw the broken silver on the table, he hurriedly reached out and returned them to Situ Xi, and then immediately said: "This process is actually a little boring, the slave family will demonstrate it for you." ”

Taking out a bundle of extremely fine silk threads from a wooden box, Su and Luo threaded the silk needle, handy, and picked up a piece of moon-white base cloth, and with the cooperation of her two hands, the flying needle was threaded, and soon a neat long line was embroidered on the cloth.

"That's it." Situ Xi interrupted her with a loud voice, and her flying fingers stopped, "Miss Su's craftsmanship is really transcendent. ”

"Childe has an overreputation." Su Heluo shook his head slowly.

Turning his head to look at Situ Xi's side face, Zhong Li was a little curious, why Xianggong was so concerned about these female celebrities today.

"Miss Su, I want to ask you to help me embroider something, but this thread may be a little different from what you used in the past, I wonder if you can try it?"

"The wires are different?"

Listening to Situ Xi's words, Su Heluo and Su Hejiu sisters looked at each other in surprise, they have been learning needlework for a long time, during which they used a wide variety of silk and satin, all kinds of cotton and linen, almost all the embroidery threads on the market have been used, what are the different wires that the son in front of him said?

"Have you ever heard of ink embroidery?"

"This ...... I haven't heard of it. The Su sisters were a little dazed.

"Uncle, what is 'ink embroidery'?" Whispering also asked curiously.

Not in a hurry to answer the whispered question, Situ Xi smiled at Zhong Li, and then looked at the two sisters surnamed Su and said, "Even if you use hair as embroidery thread, is this difficult for you?" ”

Zhong Lixuan on the side was suddenly stunned.

"With hair?" Su Heluo was also stunned, but Su Hejiu's eyes lit up, "Sister, the hair is thin and shiny, it is indeed a good wire." ”

"But ......"

"We provide the materials."

Hearing Situ Xi's words, Zhong Li's heart was completely clear, and she raised her head to look at him, she gently sipped her thin and tender lips that were not smeared with any lip grease, and wanted to reach out to touch Situ Xi's sleeve, but she stopped in mid-air.

"Lady, I remember that you told me before that this hair is love, and even so, you should treasure it."

For Situ Xi, today I happened to see two girls with such superb embroidery skills, and remembered the scene when he first came to the clock to cut his hair, and couldn't help but think of the hair embroidery that originated from Buddhist believers to express their pious intentions, the material and color of the hair are excellent, and almost will not fade, it is a very good material.

"I see, Childe, my little sister and I can try, but this is the first time to try, and we can't guarantee you the quality of the final product......" Su Heluo's gaze wandered on the two of them for a moment, with a little envy in their eyes.

"It's okay, I'll have someone bring you the materials at noon." Situ Xi waved his hand to let them try boldly, then thought about it again, looked at Zhong Lishu and said, "Lady, have you thought about what pattern you want to embroider?" ”

"Ah...... Then, let's embroider a pair of birds. As she whispered, two reddish clouds rose to her cheeks under the sheer veil of the hat.

"Okay, make a note of it. Madame, do you still need to embroider some text? ”

"Hmm......" Zhong Lixuan was already embarrassed to speak again.

"You don't have to embroider anymore." Situ Xi opened his mouth to finalize the matter, paid some deposit, and left his address.

……

"Top three?! This adult, could it be that he made a mistake, the old man has not yet handed over all the dishes he has done, and isn't there still a restaurant that has not participated in it, how can he become famous at this time? ”

Outside a luxurious restaurant on Lezhen Road, the shopkeeper Zhang had just seen the official in charge bring his third dish into a private room, and after a while, the official walked out of the cubicle with a smile on his face and informed him that he had won the top three of the Spring Food Meeting.

It all happened a little suddenly, or a little abruptly, and it felt very unreal to him.

"How can you be mistaken, shopkeeper, you are lucky, the noble man seems to like your pastries very much, Shicai is full of praise, and promises you the top three. Go back and wait, when this spring eclipse is over, the official will send someone to hand over the reward to you. ”

"This ......"

After receiving the adult's affirmative answer, the shopkeeper Zhang was a little confused, he felt that all this was a bit of a child's play, how could it feel weird, as if there was a shady scene......

Shaking his head, no matter what, this result was excellent for him, and a smug smile immediately appeared on his face, sure enough, it was a good shade with his back against the tree, and this time thanks to Miss Chen informing him in advance of the preferences of the envoys of the Li Kingdom, he and his daughter were able to prepare carefully.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Zhang felt that the haze brought to him by the incident in the morning had drifted away a lot.
