Chapter 34: Chance Encounter in the Embroidery Workshop (Ask for a Monthly Pass, Ask for Comments, Ask for Recommendation)
"Since it's started, how can there be any reason to give up halfway?" Lin Baobao's leg was dismantled yesterday, and she was going to go to the town with Chen today, and she got up early in the morning to cook the bean dregs bought from Aunt Zou's house.
Seeing that everyone was embarrassed, I couldn't help but throw another bomb: "By the way, Ah Shi said that he would write the ten words he learned before him at night, don't forget it." ”
Gu Shi opened his mouth, when did he say it?
Lin Baobao walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "That's right, Ah Shi." ”
Gu Shi: "Yes, yes." ”
Feng, who had never been spot-checked by Gu Shi, couldn't help but say: "Bao'er, your father and I are old, I really can't remember, or we won't learn, just let your brother and sister-in-law and Da Mao learn it." ”
She was embarrassed to say that she would write the word "person" by now.
Daddy Lin nodded again and again.
"Mother, when I came back from Zhang Langzhong's house yesterday, I heard you tell those aunts that you would help them write Spring Festival couplets in the New Year, and you don't learn now, and they won't laugh at you if you can't write them when the time comes?"
"And Dad, you told your uncle that you would teach him when you learn it, but you forgot?"
Feng and Father Lin stopped talking, and when they took Lin Dalang to the ground, they silently called Ermao, who learned the best in the family, and prepared to temporarily hug their grandson's Buddha's feet.
Lin Baobao was so happy that he mixed the dried worms, vegetable leaves and boiled bean dregs into the soaked brown rice.
"Sister-in-law, my third sister-in-law and I went to town, you remember to feed the chickens."
Zhao tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The third brother and sister will also go." ”
"Well, the third sister-in-law has done a good job embroidery, and she is going to go to the town to pick up some work and come back."
Yuan Lin Baobao was going to go alone, and then he thought of picking embroidery threads, and he still had to bring professional talents.
Lin Baobao said and went out, and he didn't notice Zhao's eyes that darkened instantly.
No one from the village chief's family went to the town today, and Lin Baobao and Chen walked for half an hour before they arrived.
As soon as the farming was over, there were more people who came to the town to visit or carry their burdens to sell goods.
"Selling roasted cakes, fragrant big baked cakes~"
"Osmanthus cake, sweet osmanthus cake~"
"Tofu brain, just out of the pot tofu brain~"
"Eggs, fresh eggs......"
……
There were shouts on both sides of the street, they came out early, and before breakfast, Lin Baobao bought two steamed buns for two pennies.
"Sister, sister, you eat, I'm not hungry." As soon as he stepped into Peach Blossom Town, Chen was a little at a loss, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at people.
Lin Baobao stuffed the steamed bun into her hand and grabbed her other arm: "Don't be afraid, third sister-in-law, they don't eat people." ”
"I, I'm not afraid." Chen also felt a little ashamed, but she hadn't left Dahe Village for eleven years, and besides, she was here when she woke up, and then she was surrounded by gangsters......
Lin Baobao knew that some things had to be slowly adapted, so he didn't say anything, just tried to walk slowly, and introduced the shops he saw around while nibbling on steamed buns.
"I went to that restaurant once, and a bowl of somen noodles cost ten cents, and it wasn't as delicious as your third sister-in-law."
"The meat buns in this bun shop on the left are very delicious, the skin is thin and the meat is thick, and the oil is moist in one bite, and when the third sister-in-law makes money, you can bring the third brother and the third girl to eat."
"And that wonton ......"
Chen was unconsciously dissipated by her nervousness, but instead gave birth to a sense of pride and ambition in his heart.
When she makes money, she must bring San Lang and a pair of children to eat!
Thinking all the way, when Chen came back to his senses, a steamed bun had already been eaten by her.
Chen, who said he was not hungry: ......
The third sister-in-law was too thin-skinned and too simple, Lin Baobao turned her head and didn't dare to glance at her.
After walking for a while, Lin Baobao stopped in front of an embroidery workshop: "It's here." ”
This embroidery workshop is called "Hui Xin", because it is taken from the meaning of "Hui Quality Lan Xin", but I don't know why the word "Hui" is used.
Lin Baobao didn't think much about it, and walked in directly with Chen.
There is not much space inside, and the left wall is a group of top-up containers, which are filled with various colors of fabrics. A counter about 1.5 meters high enclosed it, and put purses and handkerchiefs on it.
The stairs on the right lead to the second floor, but that's where the rich were entertained, and the original body hadn't been there.
In fact, she has accompanied Xiao Xiaomei here twice, both times to help Wu send embroidered handkerchiefs.
There were no customers in the store, the shopkeeper was standing behind the counter looking at the account book, when she heard the movement, she raised her head, glanced at the clothes of Lin Baobao and Chen, lowered her head again, and said in a casual tone: "What do you two want?" ”
It seems that he is too lazy to entertain the two of them.
Doubts flashed in Lin Baobao's eyes, the original body and Xiao Xiaomei were dressed very ordinarily when they came, and the attitude of this shopkeeper was clearly not like this.
Chen tugged at Lin Baobao's sleeve.
Lin Baobao retracted his thoughts, took out the handkerchief embroidered by Chen's family and handed it over: "Shopkeeper, you can collect small items such as embroidered purse handkerchiefs here." ”
This handkerchief is embroidered with old cloth, and the embroidery on it is monotonous, and it is not to be sold, but to show the other party your embroidery skills, similar to the resume of later generations.
If the other party takes a fancy to it, he only needs to pay a little deposit, and he can take the job back from her, these are what Xiao Xiaomei said with the original body.
Lin Baobao still remembers the pattern of Wu's embroidery, which is not at the same level as the third sister-in-law, so she is very confident that she can receive a job here.
I don't want the female shopkeeper to look back: "Our embroidery workshop has its own embroidery girl, and we don't accept it." ”
"Sister, don't forget it." Chen whispered.
Lin Baobao shook his head and handed the handkerchief forward again: "Why don't you take a look first, my sister-in-law is very skillful, as long as you read it, you will be satisfied......
"Hey, I said why are you so annoying, I can't even say it......" The shopkeeper's words were paused, the impatience on his face turned into a smile, and he said behind Lin Baobao: "Second Miss, why are you free to come over today." ”
"I'll pick out a few pieces of cloth and settle last month's account by the way."
"This kind of thing needs you to come in person, make a little girl come over and say I'll send it to you."
Lin Baobao looked back, and the girl just looked at her, her expression stiffened.
This person is none other than Liu Qiaohui.
Lin Baobao supported his forehead, it turned out that this store was the Liu family's industry.
No wonder, no wonder this shopkeeper said that he had his own embroidery girl, but Wu was able to get a job, no wonder she and Xiao Xiaomei would treat each other politely when they came to the shopkeeper.
Every time they met before, they were in a carriage, but this was the first time the two had met face-to-face.
The female shopkeeper saw Liu Qiaohui's expression in her eyes and asked tentatively: "Second Miss, do you know them?" ”
Liu Qiaohui came back to her senses, didn't know what to think, showed a thoughtful look, and suddenly said: "I said how familiar it looks, aren't you from the same village as Aunt Wu?" ”
Lin Baobao: Isn't this acting skill rotten again?
