The happy little days of the Ye family

The large pictures embroidered by Ye's mother took up too much space and were relatively expensive. Father Ye usually didn't dare to take them out easily, so he only hung Ye Qingqing and other embroidery items on the shelf.

Only if she meets a woman who is well-dressed and interested in embroidery, will she take out Ye Mu's embroidery.

It's not that Ye's father is looking down on others. It took Ye's mother more than three months to embroider this embroidery, and the materials alone cost ten taels of silver.

If it is damaged or stained by someone, the embroidery will be useless. Three months of hard work will be in vain, and ten taels of capital will be lost.

Father Ye had previously thought that the embroidery shop was too evil. The embroidery items sold were so expensive, but he was only willing to pay so much for the embroidery items.

But it was only when he set up a stall to sell embroidery that Father Ye realized that the embroidery business was quite risky.

Handkerchiefs are relatively small, and occasionally one or two will be stolen by some greedy people.

Ordinary embroidered handkerchiefs are okay, but those with unclean hands and feet specially pick the gold silk embroidered handkerchiefs embroidered by Ye Qingqing to steal.

During the days of setting up the stall, Ye's father had already lost two gold silk handkerchiefs, and another one was stained with two big black marks on it.

The embroidery items sold by Ye's father seemed to be more profitable, but they also carried risks. For example, Ye Qingqing's three gold silk handkerchiefs were all in vain for three days.

Father Ye was so angry that he put all the shelves for displaying embroidery inside the table.

The handkerchief is still a small problem. If the precious embroidered pictures of Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing are damaged or stolen, the loss will be huge.

There are many things on the stall and they are quite complex, and the placement of things is also very particular.

Father Ye deliberately placed some of the more popular and good-looking things on the outside or in conspicuous places, while the more expensive ones were placed inside where they would not be easily stolen.

The gold handkerchiefs and Guanyin pictures made by Ye Qingqing use a lot of gold threads, which are dazzling in the sun and are very eye-catching.

Father Ye deliberately placed them in the most conspicuous position on the shelf.

Although the Guanyin embroidered pictures and gold silk handkerchiefs are a little expensive and not many people buy them, they can attract the attention of many women and girls and attract them to the stall.

Not long after, two little girls aged fourteen or fifteen came to the stall.

Both of them were wearing patterned fabrics from Sichuan. They also wore a lot of valuable jewelry on their heads and hands. They were followed by two little maids. They looked like young ladies from wealthy families.

Father Ye saw that the two were one or two years apart in age, and they looked somewhat similar. They should be a pair of sisters.

The taller woman stopped in front of the table and looked at the embroidery of Guanyin made by Ye Qingqing.

Another girl who was younger and still had baby fat on her face fell in love with the gold silk handkerchief made by Ye Qingqing.

Father Ye saw that the two of them were well dressed and had a sharp eye, so he took a fancy to the embroidery made by Ye Qingqing at a glance.

With a smile on his face, he picked up the shelf displaying the embroidery and brought it to the two of them so that they could see it more clearly.

Their mother will celebrate her birthday in half a month, and the two sisters went out specially to buy birthday gifts.

The two of them heard from a servant at home that there was a stall selling groceries here, with many beautiful embroideries on it, and they got the goods from the county, so they came here to take a look.

The older woman picked up the Guanyin picture embroidered by Ye Qingqing and looked at it carefully.

The materials used to embroider the pictures are very good, and there is even a lot of gold thread added to them. The embroidery skills are also good, and they are no worse than the embroidery sold by the embroidery workshops in the county.

The woman quite liked the Guanyin picture embroidered by Ye Qingqing, but she saw that a lot of gold thread was used on the embroidery, and she felt a little uneasy, fearing that she didn't have enough money.

"Boss, how much does this embroidery of Guanyin cost?" the woman asked in a low voice, feeling a little nervous.

"Miss, you have really good taste. This is a Guanyin picture made by an embroiderer in the county. The price is a bit more expensive than other embroidery products, costing 8 taels and 8 yuan."

Father Ye's bottom price was 8 taels of silver, but everyone likes to bargain when shopping on the street, so Father Ye deliberately raised the price a little.

The younger girl next to me couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard that this embroidered picture cost 8 taels and 8 yuan.

"Eight taels and eight dollars? Isn't this too expensive? Sister, let's go check out other places." He pulled the other woman and left.

Father Ye quickly explained: "This embroidery uses a lot of gold thread, and the cost alone is twice as high as ordinary embroidery. The price is not high at all."

"If Miss is interested in buying it, I'll give in and give it 8 taels and 6 yuan."

The sister stopped and looked at the embroidery a few more times. She really liked the embroidery, but the price was a bit expensive.

If she bought this embroidery picture, all the pocket money she had saved in the past six months would be spent.

Seeing that the person was hesitant, Father Ye started to sell it again: "This is the only embroidery picture on the stall that is embroidered with gold thread. If someone buys it, it will be gone."

The woman thought about it, and finally put down the embroidery reluctantly.

The sister next to me asked for a gold silk handkerchief.

Father Ye was a little sad to see someone leave, but thinking about selling a gold silk handkerchief, he felt better again.

The little girl probably doesn't go shopping often, so she didn't even bargain for the gold embroidered handkerchief, she just bought it for 170 Wen.

With just this handkerchief, Ye's father can earn 20 cents.

Although Ye Qingqing's Guanyin paintings are expensive and not many people can afford them, they are very attractive.

Hearing that the Guanyin picture costs 8 taels and 8 yuan, while other small embroidered pictures only cost 4 taels and 5 yuan, most people will readily buy cheap embroidered pictures or handkerchiefs.

When the sun set on the top of the mountain, Father Ye had already sold a small embroidered picture of a fish leaping over a dragon gate, a gold silk handkerchief and two ordinary handkerchiefs.

After a while, after Father Ye sold out all the pastries and roast chickens on the stall, he started to pack up and prepare to go home.

As soon as Father Ye put the groceries on the ground back into the donkey cart, the sisters who came to look at the embroidery just now came back again.

The two sisters walked around the area and finally felt that the Guanyin picture suited them best.

In the end, the two sisters decided to pool their money together to buy this Guanyin painting and give it to their mother as a birthday gift. If the two of them split it equally, the price of the embroidery would not be too expensive.

When Father Ye saw the two sisters pooling money together to buy embroidered pictures, Father Ye did not charge them more money and took the initiative to lower the price to 8 taels and 5 yuan.

Seeing that Ye's father was kind and still had money, the two of them used the money they saved to buy a pair of silk headbands from the stall.

At this time, there were two bowls of soaked honey water on the table. Seeing that the stall was about to be closed, Father Ye generously invited the two little girls to drink the honey water.

After all, the two sisters were from wealthy families and were very wary. They quickly refused, took the embroidery and ran away.

Father Ye stopped laughing for a moment, as if he had frightened the little girl.

Father Ye saw that it was already getting dark, so he quickly packed everything up. Father Ye gave the remaining two bowls of honey water to other stall owners who set up stalls nearby.

On the way back, Father Ye silently calculated the profits made today.

The more Father Ye calculated, the happier he became. Just from the various embroidery products on the stall, Father Ye made more than two taels and nearly three taels of silver today.

Father Ye was in a good mood and was going back to ask Mother Ye to collect more embroidery.

As for Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing's embroidery, he has no intention of lowering the price.

Although the price is high, the two people's embroidery works are sold slowly, but they can still be sold slowly, and the higher the price, the more they earn.

And if you stay at the stall, it can also attract a lot of people to the stall.
