Chapter 293: Partnering to open a silk village
"Don't talk nonsense." Su Liuye glanced at her, but her cheeks were slightly hot, "Hurry up and get busy, I have to go out at noon." ”
"Where are you going? It's rare for Brother Chu to come back, and you don't even take the time to accompany Brother Chu, how can this work? You don't look like a husband and wife at all! Qin Lian said that she was a little displeased, and pulled her to the side, wanting to explain to her how to get along with husband and wife.
Su Liuye was made to cry and laugh by her, "Lianlian, don't tell me this, you haven't married yourself, how can you understand this?" ”
"I don't understand, there are a lot of storytellers in town who tell these stories!"
Luoxi Town is very busy, and at night, there will still be many people on the street, including many storytelling stalls.
Occasionally, these storytelling stalls will come to their restaurants to tell stories to the guests who are dining.
Qin Lian usually likes to listen to and listen to books the most, and after listening to it a lot, she naturally understands something.
Su Liuye blushed by what she said, "Okay, don't say any more, I still have a lot of things to do!" ”
After saying that, she went to help in the kitchen, leaving Qin Lian laughing in place.
After the afternoon, the restaurant was not so busy, Su Liuye selected a few pastries and packed them, and took Qin Lian to the place where she met Huang Ying before.
As soon as I passed, I saw that Huang Ying was really there, but there was no cloth sold today, only some gadgets were placed in the stall, and there were not many customers.
These knick-knacks were brought back from elsewhere by the boat runners, and they were not uncommon, and there were several shops on the street that bought them.
"Aunt Huang, I'm here."
"Oh, it's Shopkeeper Su!"
Huang Ying was busy embroidering, and when she heard Su Liuye's voice, she looked up, and suddenly smiled in surprise and invited Su Liuye to come and sit.
Seeing that she also brought pastries, Aunt Huang was embarrassed for a while, "Shopkeeper Su, what are you doing?" You came here, why did you bring me something? I'm sorry I broke your cloth last time, and I'm worried about how to pay you. ”
"It's okay, those Wu Sheng will pay me." As she spoke, Su Liuye saw the embroidery in her hand.
The embroidered scenery on the bank of the Lingjiang River is lifelike, very beautiful, and the embroidery is also first-class.
"Aunt Huang, did you embroider it yourself? It's so pretty! ”
Aunt Huang smiled, "Shopkeeper Su, you are polite." My ancestors have been opening silk and satin villages for several generations, and I have also learned embroidery with my mother since I was a child, and now I can only get my hands on this craft. ”
"Look, I embroidered it for you." As she spoke, she took out a few embroideries from the bamboo basket next to her.
The embroidery on it is meticulous, and the silk thread used is also of the highest quality, and the color is gorgeous, which is much better than the ones bought in the town.
"Aunt Huang, you are really amazing! I have never seen such beautiful embroidery! Qin Lian watched from the side, amazed.
Huang Ying just smiled faintly beside her and told them a lot about the town.
Because Luoxi Town is close to the Lingjiang River, the shipping is very developed, and any strange things can be transported by ship, among which the fabric is the most outstanding.
Because Huang Ying never followed the ship, she couldn't tell where the fleet went, only that it was a far away place, and it would take half a month to reach it after getting off the ship.
It was outside the border, a big trading town, and all the cloth was brought back from there.
In the past, when Xu Zhou and Liu Wei had not yet intervened in the town's shipping, the town's silk village could be described as full of flowers, with all kinds of fabrics and embroidery. In order to attract customers, each store has tried its best to take care of the house.
Among them, Huang Ying's splendid workshop is most famous for embroidery.
The embroidery of the splendid workshop has been passed down for three generations, and from time to time, merchants from the capital will order a large number of their embroidery to be bought in the capital.
Huang Ying followed her grandfather to the capital when she was a child, and she still remembers the prosperous scene at that time.
Her husband is the son of another silk village in the town, and the two families were originally strong and strong after the marriage, but the good times did not last long, Liu Wei set his eyes on the big fat in the town, and used despicable means to get many people to sign the contract, and then bought the store at a very low price.
For this reason, many people have long since moved out of Luoxi Town to make a living elsewhere.
Huang Ying has spent a lot of money to find a doctor because of the illness of her youngest son at home, and she has no capital to make a comeback.
Although he had known these things for a long time, after listening to them, Su Liuye still felt angry, this kind of monopolistic behavior was simply going to cut off the way of life for others!
"Aunt Huang, you don't have to worry about this problem now, the new Lord Xiao is a good official, he will definitely not help profiteers like Liu Wei like Liu Liangzhi!"
"That's right!" Qin Lian said, "We met Lord Xiao yesterday, and Lord Xiao will definitely not tolerate this kind of thing. ”
"This ......"
Huang Ying's eyes flickered.
Su Liuye knew that she would not believe it easily, after all, Liu Liangzhi had been in the town for many years, and anyone would think that these officials were like this.
Su Liuye was not in a hurry, and asked, "Aunt Huang, is your business doing well here?" ”
"Of course not." Huang Ying sighed, "I only have these gadgets on the stall on weekdays, embroidery or something, I don't dare to take them out." Do you remember what happened to Wu Sheng last time? ”
"Of course I do." Su Liuye frowned, "Could it be that they are like this on weekdays, and when they see you selling embroidery and cloth in the town, they just throw them on the ground and trample on them?" ”
"Not exactly." Speaking of this, Huang Ying was even more worried, "They will take a look before throwing it away, if they don't have it, they will take it back and sell it, and if they have it, they will directly trample it on." Embroidery like mine can be snatched away by them if you're not careful. ”
"There's no way around it, Lord Liu helped them before, otherwise why would the others move away? It's not because embroidery in Luoxi Town can't be sold at all. ”
"How arrogant are they? What's the difference between this and banditry?! Su Liuye said angrily.
Huang Ying sighed, and didn't want to mention these things anymore.
Su Liuye thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Huang, let's do it, I'll give the silver, you will be the embroiderer, and we will open a silk village in the town!" You don't have to worry about the fabric, I'll take care of it. Now that Lord Xiao is here, I don't believe that Xu Zhou and Liu Wei dare to be arrogant! ”
"Shopkeeper Su, you are- oops, you really don't want to provoke Boss Liu!" Huang Ying was in a hurry.
