Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 781 Calender Embroidery

Bai Zhuye was the most excited among these people. He picked up the cloth and took a look at the silk threads.

“This piece of material is good, perfect for making a soft pillow for my mother.”

"This color is nice. I can make a coat for dad. It will look nice even without embroidery."

“This, this, this has a plain color, I can make it an apron for my eldest sister, it doesn’t look dirty and is easy to take care of.”

 “Hey? What is this...?”

Bai Zhuye took out a handkerchief from a pile of materials.

Su Mulan was arranging the cloth there, and when she heard Bai Zhuye talking, she took a look and said, "It looks like a handkerchief?"

"It seems so." Bai Zhuye nodded, picked up the handkerchief, and looked at it carefully, "Has Linglong Pavilion started selling handkerchiefs now?"

"I've never heard your father talk about this." Su Mulan said, "Could it be a guy who accidentally fell in?"

This veil is naturally not used by men, but is more like something used by daughters’ families.

However, many of the clerks in Linglong Pavilion are young people, and some are about to get married. If they are engaged to be married, they carry things given by their future wives, or buy them to give away.

Su Mulan was wondering whether she should tell Shopkeeper Guo to return it earlier.

 Bai Zhuye, however, held the handkerchief in his hand, frowned and went to look for Bai Shitang and Shopkeeper Guo who were talking outside.

“Dad, Shopkeeper Guo, I would like to ask, where did this veil come from?”

Bai Shitang didn't know about the veil, so he looked at Shopkeeper Guo.

After looking at the handkerchief, shopkeeper Guo thought for a while and then said, "I almost forgot about it."

"Some time ago, an old woman came to our Linglong Pavilion and said that she could make clothes and embroider patterns. She wanted to cooperate with our Linglong Pavilion to make ready-made clothes. I happened to be delivering goods to people that day and was not there. The stone in the shop responded. Old woman, ask the old woman to leave the things in the shop first, and wait for the boss and I to look at them and then give him a reply. "

"I saw that the handkerchief was embroidered with fine stitches and fine workmanship, but the whole embroidery looked dull and dull. It didn't look like a good thing. I just agreed with the request, so I took it over and wanted to show it to my employer. Come on, I was afraid that the small veil would be lost when I was wearing it, so I folded it up and put it inside the fabric. "

“Master, when I return to the county town, can I tell the old woman and refuse this matter?”

"I'm afraid I can't refuse." Bai Shitang picked up the handkerchief, looked back and forth for a long time, and said, "After you go back, quickly go find this old woman and just tell her that I am very interested in this matter. , see if she has time tomorrow, I would like to visit her and talk about the garment business."

Seeing Bai Shitang's serious expression, shopkeeper Guo knew he was not joking and nodded quickly in response, "Okay, I'll look for her when I get back."

“But, boss, please tell me why I want to cooperate with this old woman?”

  There used to be many skilled embroiderers in the county, and there were even more people who came to ask for cooperation, but Baishitang didn't like any of them. The handkerchief this old woman took out was really ordinary. I don't know why...

“The pattern embroidered on this veil is nothing outstanding. The key lies in the stitching method. This is calendered embroidery.”

Shiraishi Tang said, "The embroidery method that suppresses the luster of the original silk threads and makes the originally bright silk threads dull is not something that anyone can do."

The saying about calendered embroidery, also called Yunguang embroidery, should only be found in modern times. This is a fabrication, so don’t go into details~
