Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 64: Embroidery Work for Li

The manager felt helpless.

There are only 500 kilograms of pears, why is it necessary to mobilize so many people? In previous years, didn't we just find some vendors, bargain hard for the price, and easily buy the goods?

No matter whether they look good or ugly, in the end they will all be chopped up and thrown into the pot to cook. How big of a difference can there be!

There is no need for the boss to swallow such a loss just for the favor of the previous generation!

However, since the order has been given, the person in charge cannot disobey it.

The girl said that most of the pears in the village were ripe, and they probably couldn't wait any longer.

By that time, as long as they are not stupid, they should know to retreat when they encounter difficulties.

Zhou Xiaoxi and the other person walked out of the herbal medicine shop and went straight to the clothing shop.

The name of Shangpin Pavilion is well-known in the city, and Zhou Xiaoxi can find it without asking for directions.

On the way, Li Dali couldn't help talking to Zhou Xiaoxi about selling pears, and he was very excited.

Zhou Xiaoxi was not at ease at all, as it seemed that Mr. Yan was not very willing to buy the pears from their village.

Zhou Xiaoxi already understood very clearly in his previous life the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

In this life, their whole family lives on thin ice, so she has to be more careful.

But seeing how excited his uncle was, he couldn't bear to discourage him. Zhou Xiaoxi could only smile perfunctorily and didn't want to say more.

Of course, I went to the ready-made clothing shop to buy the handkerchief embroidered by Li.

Her mother has mentioned it several times, and I wonder how much she is looking forward to getting her wages!

It would only be four or five days before Li got the jobs. However, Li was eager to earn money, so he started working at dawn every day and would not stop until sunset.

Within three days, she had embroidered twenty handkerchiefs! Zhou Xiaoxi looked at them carefully and found the quality to be absolutely impeccable.

Li was born to do this job!

If this cooperation goes well, Zhou Xiaoxi guessed that she could get a better quality handkerchief this time. You know, the wages given by the shop vary greatly depending on the material!

The sun was high when the two of them came, and there were few customers in the store. Girls in the city don't like to go out at this time, because they will get tanned if they are not careful.

Guests are welcome, and the shopkeeper's attitude is very gentle and polite.

Their Shangpin Pavilion is different from those small shops that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. They always take advantage of the powerful to bully the weak and have no manners.

"Are you two here to buy ready-made clothes or cloth?"

Li Dali was a little nervous at first, not knowing where to put his hands and feet, but the shopkeeper's humble attitude made him relax instantly.

If he had not brought any money with him today, he would have wanted to buy some nice fabrics for his wife to make clothes.

Oh, by the way, his wife is still at her parents' home.

(╬ ̄俣)=○

Oh, why don’t I learn my lesson? I always think about that heartless woman!

Zhou Xiaoxi smiled sweetly, took out something wrapped in clean white cotton cloth from her bag, and placed it on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, this is the job my mother took here a few days ago. It's a total of twenty embroidered handkerchiefs. Please take a look."

After saying that, she carefully untied the cotton cloth, revealing the neatly placed embroidered handkerchief inside.

Shopkeeper Li was very satisfied at first sight.

These handkerchiefs are to be sold to girls in the city. Not only must the embroidery be good, but the workmanship must also be neat and tidy.

Some women don't pay much attention to personal hygiene. The embroidered handkerchief looks good, but when you bring it close to your nose and smell it, you can smell the fishy smell of sweat!

Every time this happens, Shopkeeper Li gets extremely annoyed!

The girl who came today looked clean and fresh, and the handkerchief she brought also exuded a faint scent of soapberry. Shopkeeper Li was really 100% satisfied.

When he took a closer look at the embroidery on the handkerchief, he immediately thought of the eldest daughter of the Zhang family.

Each embroidery piece carries the personal style and temperament of the embroiderer, and Shopkeeper Li has a keen eye and can easily distinguish them.

What's more, Miss Zhang came to the store to look for embroidery work, which left a deep impression on him and it is hard for him to forget it.

"This embroidered handkerchief of yours was paid as a deposit by Miss Zhang, right? The last time she came to the store, she was accompanied by a younger girl. I didn't expect that someone else would come today."

Manager Li was also being cautious. After all, it was the embroidery work bought by Miss Zhang. It would be terrible if anything went wrong.

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little surprised, but not surprised. How could someone who could be the shopkeeper in a store not have some skills?

"Shopkeeper, you have a very sharp eye. You can recognize the person who embroidered the handkerchief at a glance! The last person who came was my sister Xiaonan. I am her biological sister Xiaoxi."

Shopkeeper Li still remembers the little girl's name, so it seems that this is correct.

"Your mother's embroidery work is very good. I wonder if she will continue to accept the job this time? If both of us are satisfied, you can come two or three more times, and then we can consider letting your mother come to the shop to be an embroiderer. The wages are much higher than taking on such odd jobs."

Shopkeeper Li felt that this family had a close relationship with the Zhang family and wanted to make some good friends with them.

Li Dali could never have thought of all this. He was just surprised that his elder sister's embroidery skills were so good!

His eyes widened as big as copper bells and his mouth almost opened wide, but he controlled himself with the last bit of his reason.

Zhou Xiaoxi pretended not to see his silly uncle.

She liked this thoughtful shopkeeper very much. She first expressed her gratitude and then asked a few more questions:

"I have a question and would like the shopkeeper to explain it to me."

Shopkeeper Li simply extended his hand to signal Zhou Xiaoxi to continue.

"Are the patterns in our store fixed? Or do we accept samples that you think are good?"

Shopkeeper Li showed a look of surprise. Could it be that the girl's mother could design new patterns herself?

If this is true, it would be a rare good thing!

For a good clothing store, having good fabrics is of course the most important thing.

However, having unique new designs is the key to standing out from the crowd of stores.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Li's voice revealed a hint of urgency.

"If the girl's mother can embroider a special pattern herself, our store will be happy to pay for it."

"The price varies depending on the size, sophistication, and novelty of the pattern. And we also need to sign a contract for exclusive supply by the pattern shop."

Zhou Xiaoxi was not sure whether her mother, Li, could really design unique patterns herself.

But I have so many memories from my past life, so even though I can’t draw, I can always think of a few cartoon patterns!

︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿

So she hesitated and spoke again:

"I wonder what kind of patterns our store accepts? Will we accept patterns suitable for children?"

"Of course I do. Many wealthy families have very fine requirements for their children's clothes and accessories. If the embroidery can show childishness or have a good meaning, it is the best product!"

Li Dali couldn't get a word in at all, but he could understand everything.

Xiaoxi is obviously helping her mother get more profitable work! His niece is really capable!

After Zhou Xiaoxi finished talking with the shopkeeper, he received the 400-wen wages he deserved.

Xiao Nan had already returned the four taels of silver that Zhang Jiaojiao had advanced.

Zhou Xiaoxi once again used the four taels of silver he had pledged to exchange for a handkerchief made of ten square meters of silk cloth.

Although the quantity was half of what it was before, the wages were not reduced but increased by 100 wen.
