Portable Space: Traveling through Nongmen

Chapter 71 Take It Again
Yuan Shuang was not stingy either. Hearing Bao'er said it was delicious, he immediately took out his pocket to get two more pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "It's good that it tastes good. If you like it, I'll give you two more."

However, after Bao'er heard this sentence, she stopped eating the sweet pastry in her hand, and immediately shrank behind Shen Yingshu, as if she didn't want it anymore.

Shen Yingshu just watched from the side, seeing Bao'er hiding behind her as if hiding something, she endured it for a long time before laughing out loud.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Yingshu greeted Yuan Shuang, planning to send the screen over there first, and take Bao'er to dinner later.

Before leaving, Yuan Shuang stopped Shen Yingshu again, after Shen Yingshu stopped.

Yuan Shuang leaned into Shen Yingshu's ear and whispered, "Lady, I know you have a good relationship with my shopkeeper. My shopkeeper seems to be in a bad mood these days because of things at home. When you went up , you must be more patient."

"Okay, thank you for telling me this, I understand, don't worry."

Shen Yingshu nodded thoughtfully. Looking at Yuan Shuang's appearance, shopkeeper Dong's bad mood these days should have been shown on his face.

Shen Yingshu originally wanted to take Bao'er upstairs,

"Miss, if you have something to ask Shopkeeper Dong, you can leave Bao'er here. It's noon now, and there's no one around. I can take a look for you." Yuan Shuang blinked and looked like Shen Yingshu.

"Won't that cause you trouble?"

Shen Yingshu was a little hesitant, but looking at the expression of the little girl Yuanshuang, who looked expectant, it seemed that she really liked Bao'er.

"No, no, no trouble. There are not many customers in the store at noon, not to mention that Bao'er is so cute and well-behaved, she will definitely not cause trouble."

Seeing Yuan Shuang's expectant face, Shen Yingshu did not refuse.

She also went up to deliver a screen, and it wouldn't take long.

But she respects Bao'er's choice.Shen Yingshu squatted down, "Bao'er, do you want to stay by yourself, or do you want to go up with mother?"

Bao'er thought for a while, then looked at Yuan Shuang who was beside him. He also had a good impression of this young lady, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his mother, "I'll just stay here, and my mother can do it by herself."

"Okay, then stay here obediently and don't make trouble. Mother will come down to look for you after you hand over the screen to Shopkeeper Dong."

"Don't worry, lady, I will take good care of him." The little girl Yuanshuang squatted down, gently pinched Bao'er's small face, her eyes were full of love.

Although Bao'er was a little shy, he wasn't too stupid. He must like the young lady in front of him quite a lot.

Shen Yingshu saw that the two of them got along well, so she went upstairs by herself and walked towards Shopkeeper Dong's room.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom,"

As the door was knocked, a woman's voice came from inside the room.

"Who is it, come in."

Shen Yingshu opened the door, and immediately saw Dongniang sitting at the desk, who seemed to be in a daze.

As Yuanshuang said, Dongniang's eyes now have a thick bluish-black color, and her originally white, tender and smooth face is not the same as before.

Her complexion became dull, and even a few fine wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"It turned out to be Yingshu, why do you come here when you have time?" Dongniang thought it was the little girls in the store who had arrived at the meal order, so she reported to herself and went out to buy food.

Unexpectedly, it was Shen Yingshu, she immediately got up from her seat and greeted her.

"I set up a small stall on the street when I was free, and it happened that the screen was finished, so I wanted to send it to you."

After speaking, Shen Yingshu took out the screen from the back basket and handed it to Shopkeeper Dong.

"The embroidery was finished so quickly. Yingshu, your speed has improved. It's getting better and better." Dongniang raised her hand to take the screen, cheered herself up, and carefully observed the patterns and embroidery on it.

It's not that she doesn't believe in Shen Yingshu's craftsmanship, but that every custom-made screen handed over to the customer must be checked carefully and repeatedly, and only after making sure that there are no problems can it be handed over to the customer.

After all, the customer paid so much money, if she sent it directly without checking, I'm afraid her Chunyanfang would close down.

Dong Niang carefully observed the embroidery on the screen. She gave Shen Yingshu the thread and material, so there was no problem.

The flowers and birds embroidered on the screen were exquisite, and these patterns were even more beautiful and aura than the handkerchief she had seen Shen Yingshu embroider before.

"Yingshu, your craftsmanship is really getting better and better. Look at the flowers embroidered on it, they look real from a distance, and the birds are also alive. This screen is really beautiful."

Dongniang couldn't help praising, she had seen many embroiderers with superb skills, but there were not many who embroidered with such aura as Shen Yingshu.

It can be called one in a thousand.

"It's not as good as you boast, as long as you are satisfied."

Shen Yingshu scratched her head in embarrassment, after all, this is really not her skill, thanks to the set of "Ingenuity".

"It's not that I'm boasting, it's that you embroider really well. Although your embroidering was good and aura before, it was still not as good as the best embroiderer in our workshop. But looking at it now, it's different. Your craftsmanship is better than ours. The best embroiderer in the village laughs, and she is even taller."

Dongniang caressed carefully the flowers embroidered on the screen. The color and the density of the embroidery made people fondle admiringly.

"Yingshu, do you still have time? I still have a few screens to show off. Although they are not as big as this one, they are not too small, and the price paid by the employer is not bad."

"This..." Shen Yingshu was a little hesitant. She would probably keep setting up a stall on the street in the future, and if she took over the screen...

"The price is still the same as before, half for you, half for me, and I will also provide you with needlework and fabric, all you need to do is embroider." Shopkeeper Dong once again offered a temptation that people don't want to refuse.

The screens are already expensive, but if they are a little smaller and the embroidery is rough, each one costs a few taels of silver.

If the embroidery is more delicate, the size of the screen will be larger, and it is possible to have tens of taels, hundreds of taels, or even thousands of taels.

If Shen Yingshu took over this buddy, he only needed to embroider a few screens in a month, and he would be able to live comfortably.

So Shen Yingshu agreed without hesitation, "Okay, if there is still this kind of work in the future, Dongniang can leave it to me."

With the help of "Ingenuity" in my hand, it doesn't take long to embroider a screen.

Calculated in this way, I can use the money I earn to buy back the last set of "Ingenuity" after installing a few screens.

"With your words, I feel relieved. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly. My Dongniang keeps her word."

After hearing Shen Yingshu's agreement, Dongniang's dull complexion became brighter.
