The happy little days of the Ye family

After putting away the embroidery designs of several people one by one, shopkeeper Li returned to the counter.

Shopkeeper Li took out a lot of silver from the silver box under the counter, and most of them were silver ingots worth ten taels of silver each.

In addition to Li's, Ye Mu, Ye Qingqing and Wang Yueya's embroidery prices have all increased. Although the increase is not much, it can be considered an encouragement.

Several people got the money from selling embroidery, and all of them were beaming with joy.

Ye Qingqing thought that shopkeeper Li had lived in the county for many years and should be familiar with the county. It would be right to ask her about the album.

"Shopkeeper Li, we want to buy some embroidery samples or albums. Do you know any larger bookstores in the county?"

"You don't have to think about good embroidery patterns. Everyone hides good embroidery patterns and won't take them out at all."

"Moreover, most of the good embroidery samples are in the hands of wealthy families, so how can they be leaked out?"

The embroidery samples used in their embroidery workshop were bought by the owner at a great price and with a lot of effort.

Ye Qingqing also knew that embroidery samples were rare, and he didn't expect to buy them directly. He just wanted to buy some albums and trace the embroidery samples himself.

"Is there a larger bookstore nearby? We want to buy some albums and go back to draw embroidery patterns."

Shopkeeper Li really didn’t pay much attention to the bookstore. He thought about it carefully before saying:

"There are two bookstores in this street. The largest and most famous one is Yan's Bookstore. Yan's Bookstore is a time-honored brand and has been open for decades."

Ye Qingqing of Yan's Bookstore knows that they often go to Yan's Bookstore to buy used books, and shopkeeper Yan is quite nice.

It's just that the books in Yan's bookstore have been rummaged through by Ye Qingqing and others, and there are very few pictures in them.

Ye Qingqing mainly wanted to know if there were any other bookstores nearby.

"The other one is a newly opened bookstore, not far away at the end of the street. I heard it's quite big. You can go and have a look."

"I don't know what the books are like inside, but the newly opened bookstore should have a relatively complete range of books."

Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a newly opened bookstore at the end of the street.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Li, let's go take a look right now." Ye Qingqing hurriedly pulled a few people out.

After leaving Li's Embroidery Shop, Ye Qingqing originally wanted to go directly to the new bookstore at the end of the street.

However, the Yan's Bookstore was very close to the Li's Embroidery Workshop. Mother Ye thought that they would all be on the way anyway, so they went to the Yan's Bookstore first.

Ye Qingqing and the others usually come to Yan's bookstore to see if there are any new albums after selling embroidery, so they are also very familiar with shopkeeper Yan.

Shopkeeper Yan was scolding the new guys when he saw Ye Qingqing and others coming in and greeted them warmly.

"You guys haven't been here for a long time. During this time, the shop has collected a lot of old books, including atlases, storybooks, travel notes, and all kinds of miscellaneous books."

A few of them were regular visitors to the bookstore. Although they bought some cheap second-hand books, mosquito legs were also meat.

Shopkeeper Yan warmly greeted a few people to sit down on the benches nearby, and then directed the waiters to move out two large boxes.

The box is full of books, but shopkeeper Yan has already picked out the valuable books like Ke Ke, and the rest are just miscellaneous books.

Shopkeeper Yan said cheerfully: "The books in the box in front are all in relatively good condition, and they are all 50 copies each."

"The books in the back box have a slight problem, but it's not a big problem. They are all priced at 30 copies each."

After that, shopkeeper Yan reminded again: "Be careful not to get confused when looking for books."

Ye Qingqing and the others have come here several times to buy used books, and they all know the rules.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Yan, it's not our first time here." Ye Qingqing said with a smile.

Ye Qingqing opened the first box. It cost 50 cents a book. There were not many books, only half a box.

Several people first took out all the books in the box and placed them on the table.

Ye Qingqing glanced over and felt that several of the books looked familiar, but he didn't say anything as they quickly flipped through each book.

Ye Qingqing and the others' target was the picture album, so they just browsed it casually, and no one paid much attention to what was written in it.

After flipping through it for a long time, Ye Mu found a landscape album. The first few pages were blurred by ink. Looking at the back, most of them were landscape paintings.

This album looks a bit like an old album that Ye Mu bought before, but the previous album contained some famous mountains and waterfalls.

This one was a landscape painting that was more suitable for making embroidery samples. Mother Ye took a liking to this picture album at a glance.

Many of the books inside had been read before, but the other three people didn't find any useful books.

Mother Ye and others organized the books and put them back into the box.

Then a few people started to look through older books with 30 words each.

There is a big box full of 30-word books, and they look like they have been backlogged for a long time.

Shopkeeper Yan also said that these books have minor flaws and are obviously in tatters. Scholars are all noble, so they will definitely despise these books.

Even if these books are old, many of them are missing chapters and pages, and some of them look dirty. No wonder they cannot be sold.

But Ye Qingqing's favorite thing is to look through these cheap old books, giving him a feeling of treasure hunting.

She's not a scholar either. She just doesn't have to be high-minded and can read. She doesn't have to choose.

Anyway, it only costs 30 per book. If you choose a good photo album, you will make a lot of money, or if you choose two thicker books or travel notes, it is also very cost-effective.

Anyway, the prices of these books are the same, so Ye Qingqing picks out thick books to read.

The pens, inks and paper are used a lot, so they will be worth some money if they are resold later.

As for what is written in it, they are all stories and travel notes anyway, which is not much different for Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing picked up the two thickest books.

One was Ye Qingqing's favorite ghost story. Although the book was dirty, it was very exciting and fascinating. Ye Qingqing was fascinated by it as soon as he read it.

After reading the first short story, Ye Qingqing closed the book and put it aside happily.

She was really lucky today, she found something good.

The other book is also a travel journal that Ye Qingqing likes to read. It writes about the customs and customs in Hangzhou.

The person who wrote this book should be very good at painting. There are a lot of small pictures in the travel notes, which depict some local customs, customs and landscapes.

Ye Qingqing has never been to Hangzhou, but from these small pictures, we can see that Hangzhou is an extremely beautiful place.

And I heard that the embroidery in Hangzhou was very famous, so Ye Qingqing really wanted to visit Hangzhou.

After flipping through the pages, Ye Qingqing found an embroidery sample in his travel notes.

But it's just a simple small picture. This kind of embroidery can only be used to embroider small pictures, not large pictures.

Ye Qingqing quickly flipped through the entire travel journal and found that there were several small embroidery pictures in it, and the types were somewhat similar.

Ye Qingqing thought it would be okay to piece together these small pictures and redraw them into two large embroidery patterns.

Moreover, there were many pictures describing the customs and people of Hangzhou in this travelogue, and Ye Qingqing felt that he could put them together.

Ye Qingqing wanted to embroider a large picture specifically describing the customs and customs of Hangzhou. It would definitely be interesting.

The more Ye Qingqing thought about it, the more excited she became. Holding the travel notes in her arms, she wanted to rush home immediately to sketch out the embroidery patterns.
