The happy little days of the Ye family

Except for Ye Qingqing, the other three people made relatively tedious large pictures. It took a long time to make large pictures, and several of them had not come to the embroidery workshop to sell embroidery products for several months.

Shopkeeper Li saw a few people and greeted them very enthusiastically, "But I've been waiting for you to come. Recently, the king married his daughter and needs a lot of embroidery. The shop is currently short of embroidery."

Ye Qingqing was impatient and hurriedly took out the prepared gold silk handkerchief and Guanyin picture.

Shopkeeper Li looked at Ye Qingqing's gold silk handkerchiefs one by one and nodded with satisfaction, "Qingqing's embroidery skills are getting better and better. The gold silk handkerchiefs she made are really beautiful, with good colors and patterns. Compared with what your mother made before, The veil is no less impressive."

Then shopkeeper Li picked up the small picture of Guanyin again, and the smile on his face became even brighter. Although the embroidery method used by Ye Qingqing was relatively simple, the Guanyin picture and embroidered handkerchief made of gold thread were both exquisite and noble. Miss Wang was sure like.

And she can also get a lot of commissions from these embroideries.

Shopkeeper Li sat down and fiddled with the abacus in front of the counter, "I have collected these 12 embroidered handkerchiefs and Guanyin pictures, all at the price of first-class embroidery, 220 yuan for a gold silk handkerchief, and 12 taels of silver for the Guanyin picture. A total of 14 taels, 640 Wen.”

This time, the money from selling embroidery was more than before. Ye Qingqing felt happy and had a bright smile on her face.

Shopkeeper Li put away Ye Qingqing's embroidery, took out a few silver ingots and some coins from the counter, and asked Ye Qingqing:

"Qingqing, your embroidery skills and color matching are getting better and better. I suggest you embroider larger pictures. If the Guanyin picture just replaced it with a larger picture, it would be worth at least 25 taels."

Ye Qingqing took the money earned from the embroidery she made in the past few months and looked at Shopkeeper Yang with a smile on her face, "Thank you Sister Li for the tip. I will make a big picture for the next embroidery."

"I have already thought about it. I would like to use white silk and gold thread to make a large picture of Guanyin. What do you think?"

Ye Qingqing had just embroidered the Guanyin picture, and he knew the embroidery method and color matching of the Guanyin picture best. It was much easier to make the same large picture than other complicated large pictures.

Ye Mu nodded Ye Qingqing's little head angrily, "You girl, you know how to be clever."

Ye Qingqing was unconvinced and said with a smile: "How can you say this is being clever? I just want to consolidate my embroidery skills for Guanyin pictures."

At this time, shopkeeper Li came over to smooth things over and looked at Ye Qingqing with a smile, "It's pretty good to embroider the Guanyin picture. The pattern of the Guanyin picture is more classic and there are many people who like it. Once it's done, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it."

Shopkeeper Li told the truth. The picture of Guanyin sending children means many children and many blessings. It is the most common embroidery pattern and has been loved by people of all walks of life and all ages for many years.

Shopkeeper Li then began to look at the embroidery of the remaining people.

The remaining three people all made large pictures, and the most outstanding one was Ye Mu's peony picture. Ye Mu's peony picture was so lifelike that Shopkeeper Li couldn't take his eyes away after looking at it.

The peony picture made by Ye Mu is made of fine white silk, plus fine Yangzhou embroidery thread and gold thread. It is both noble and elegant.

This piece of peony leaf mother was sold for 28 taels of silver. After deducting the cost, this embroidered picture of leaf mother could probably earn 20 taels of silver.

With Ye Mu's peony drawings for comparison, Second Aunt's orchid drawings are much inferior. However, Second Aunt has a good attitude, and Second Aunt herself knows that her talent is mediocre, and it is already remarkable that she can embroider to this level.

The second aunt's orchid picture got 19 taels of silver. After deducting the capital, she earned about 12 taels of silver. This was enough money for her son's wedding.

The second cousin also made very rapid progress and earned 19 taels of silver for her plum blossom drawing.

The mother and daughter were very satisfied with the price of the embroidery and planned to cut off two kilograms of meat later to celebrate.

When they were about to leave, shopkeeper Li couldn't help but hold Ye Qingqing's hand, "Qingqing, I happen to be short of an embroiderer here, would you like to help me?"

Although Ye's mother and Grandma Ye refused to let Ye Qingqing be an embroiderer last time, shopkeeper Yang was determined to try again.

Ye Qingqing is very talented and has a flexible mind. The embroidery patterns she makes are awe-inspiring. Shopkeeper Yang is very optimistic about her.

Although Ye Qingqing is a bit young, if he trains for another two years, he can probably sell the embroidery he makes in Fucheng. In this way, the Yang Family Xiufang can make further progress.

Before Ye Mu could speak, Ye Qingqing refused, "Thank you Sister Yang for your kindness, but I can't be an embroiderer. I'm usually lazy. If I stay in the house all day doing embroidery, I won't be able to stay." of."

Ye Qingqing can also do embroidery at home. It is so comfortable to be free at home, and she also earns a lot of money. She is not willing to be trapped in an embroidery workshop as an embroiderer.

Ye Mu on the side also said to Shopkeeper Li: "Shopkeeper Yang, although we are not the embroidery ladies of the embroidery shop, the embroidery we make is all obtained from the Yang Family Embroidery Shop. In fact, it is similar to the embroidery ladies of the embroidery shop. There’s no need to go overboard.”

"Qingqing is spoiled by us. She usually likes to run around with cats and dogs with her two brothers. She will definitely not be able to sit still if she works as an embroidery girl in an embroidery workshop."

Shopkeeper Li saw that both mother and daughter refused. He also knew that the Ye family was in a good family and was different from those who favored sons over daughters and did not care about their daughters' lives, so he had to give up.

On the other side, Tang Xiaojing was chatting animatedly with Shopkeeper Wang from Wang's Pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Wang is a young man in his 20s. Shopkeeper Wang is very smart and capable. He is both the owner and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Wang is a well-rounded man and has friendships with many wealthy men in the county. He relies on some of the specialty medicinal wines in the pharmacy to run the pharmacy in a prosperous manner.

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that Tang Xiaojing said that there was tiger bone wine in the mountain village.

Shopkeeper Wang happily patted Tang Xiaojing on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "This tiger bone wine is rare. I didn't expect you to find three jars at once. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

"You lead the way for me tomorrow, and I won't let you run away in vain. I will give you ten taels of silver for each bottle. Three jars are 30 silver. Is that interesting?"

Tang Xiaojing said with a smile: "I still can't trust Brother Wang's character. I'll wait for you at the county gate tomorrow."

After talking about the tiger bone wine, Tang Xiaojing gave a large bag of brewed herbs to Shopkeeper Wang.

"Brother Wang, these herbs are brewed from fresh herbs that I collected in the mountains. You can pay them as long as you like."

Shopkeeper Wang took the prepared medicinal materials and inspected them one by one. The workmanship was better than before in the pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Wang said with satisfaction: "You boy, your craftsmanship seems to have not been neglected, and the preparation is quite good. I will give you the first-class price."

"Thank you, Brother Wang. In addition, I also want these medicinal materials. I plan to make a batch of medicinal wine and send it to the pharmacy for consignment."

As he spoke, Tang Xiaojing handed shopkeeper Wang a note and wrote down several medicinal materials.

Shopkeeper Wang Diaoerlang joked: "Not only do you go up the mountain to pick herbs, but you also collect fresh herbs and process them. There are also herbs growing on the mountain, and now you plan to make medicinal wine. Are you busy enough?"

"I've been back to the countryside for three months. I've already collected some of the older medicinal materials in my own mountains and the mountains near the village. From now on, I don't have to go up to the mountains to collect herbs every day."

"And we don't receive many fresh herbs. The villagers prepare the ordinary herbs themselves. Only some with more complicated processing techniques will be passed on to me."

Tang Xiaojing looked at Shopkeeper Wang with a smile, "Going up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs is unstable, and some of the herbs grown on the mountain have just sprouted. It is safest to brew medicinal wine, which can guarantee harvests in droughts and floods."

Tang Xiaojing spent a total of 25 taels of silver to collect fresh herbs in Shanli Village, and this batch of prepared herbs was sold for a total of 31 taels of silver.

Tang Xiaojing actually made 6 taels of silver by collecting fresh medicinal materials and cooking them, which was much more than he expected.

However, it takes several years for the medicinal materials to grow, and he can only collect a few crops of medicinal materials. The remaining medicinal materials will have to wait for them to grow before he can collect them.
