Chapter 29 Embroidery
029 embroidery work
Xin Wan did the math, ten pieces cost 120 renminbi, which is quite a lot of money. One egg is only 3 renminbi, polished rice is 25 renminbi a catty, and the best pork belly is 35 renminbi a catty. Thinking of how Li Jingui dared to eat two bowls of meat Stuffed wontons, this is less than Li Yu's embroidering money.

And Li Yu usually embroiders 6 pieces at a time, usually in two weeks, which is fast enough.

And she just thought there was something awkward about this Li Yu, but now she realized that she was eager for quick success and always took on embroidery work. It seemed that she could make money for the family, but her eyes must be short-sighted, because from time to time she would He squints his eyes when he sees people.

Xin Cui kept watching Li Yu chatting with the proprietress, with envy in her eyes.

Xin Wan tugged at her sleeve and looked at her with encouraging eyes.

Li Yu is very smart, and immediately sensed Xin Wan's movements and intentions, and then said with a smile, "Master Wen, this is a fellow from our village. She has not learned embroidery for a long time, but she has been doing it for half a year.

And the family is also having a difficult time. Take a look at her embroidery work. Can she take the embroidery back to do it? "

Xin Wan frowned slightly after hearing Li Yu's words. Li Yu seemed to be helping Xin Cui, but she actually gave two important pieces of information to the female shopkeeper.

One, Xin Cui has just learned embroidery, and her skills are not good!
Second, Xin Cui's family is poor, and she only recommended her because of her pity, and she is not responsible for what happened.

She let shopkeeper Wen choose whether to let Xin Cui take over the job, but pushed all her responsibilities away.

If the shopkeeper doesn't like it, then she also reminded the shopkeeper that Xin Cui's craftsmanship is not good, she definitely doesn't want the shopkeeper to suffer, she is a good person.

If the shopkeeper takes pity on Xin Cui because she comes from a poor family and has a plain white head, and looks like she is a filial piety person, then Xin Cui can take over the embroidery work because of Li Yu's help, so she must be grateful to her and think of her kindness.

Please both sides!

This girl!
Xin Wan looked at her foolish second sister gratefully at Li Yu, hurriedly took out a purse she embroidered and shook her head secretly, this silly girl is being played like a monkey, she is still happy like this!

If Li Yu really wanted to help her, he wouldn't say things like whether he can accept it or not.

The shopkeeper Wen lost interest when he heard Li Yu's words, took a look at the purse, and then took a good look at Xin Cui, staying on the white cloth strip tied on her head.

It took a long time before he said: "Girl, to be honest, don't think that I look down on you, your embroidery work can be regarded as neat at best, and your purse skills still need to be practiced, this is too common.

But you were recommended by Miss Li Yu. Seeing that you, a child, are also in trouble, I will treat it as a good deed when I open the business. You can try it first, but the price is..."

"Shopkeeper, I'm not sensible, so don't be offended if you say the wrong thing." Xin Wan suddenly spoke and started to act cute towards Shopkeeper Wen.

Shopkeeper Wen shifted his gaze to Xin Wan, seeing that she was thin and young, but her eyes were bright and energetic, and she was very clear and beautiful, and felt that this doll was very comfortable in her heart.

He said: "Yo, Xiaozui is very good at talking, so tell me, let me listen?"

Xin Wan smiled sweetly, and Shopkeeper Wen felt warm in her heart. This little girl seemed to be a smarter child at first glance. She didn't know why she felt close to her and liked her just by looking at her.

Of course, Xin Wan didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking, but because she had a space treasure in her body, the space was full of aura, and Xin Wan often entered the space, so she had some agility in her unpredictable movements.

In particular, people say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Xin Wan has a pure mind, so her eyes are very clean, bright and attractive.

Coupled with the space, she feels comfortable and makes people want to get close.

"Shopkeeper, my sister has just learned embroidery not long ago. Her stitching techniques are indeed simple, but if she has novel patterns, can the price be negotiated?"

Xin Cui was a little anxious when she heard it, so she pulled Xin Wan and said, "Don't talk nonsense, little sister. I'm learning embroidery from sister Li Yu. How can I get novel patterns?"

Xin Wan looked at Xin Cui cutely and said innocently: "My sister can't do it, but I can. Well, do you remember that when my father was alive, he always traveled around to work in the summer, and one day he brought a picture album in his bag. , he accidentally took the books of a friend’s son.

The man lived in a large county town, and the picture album was drawn by his son when he was in college. I took it over and looked at it because I was surprised, and then sent it back to him three days later when my father went back to work.

Well, I still remember a few nice patterns. We definitely don’t have them here, not even in the inner city. That person is from the south, and the patterns are very strange. "

After Xin Wan finished speaking, she looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, if my sister's picture looks like we don't have here, then the price of her embroidery can be the same as Li Yu's sister, or even higher.

After all, novelty flower patterns are very precious! "

"This~!" Xin Cui was a little worried. Xin Wan pinched the back of her hand to signal her, so she did not continue to refute.

Shopkeeper Wen laughed, and then jokingly said: "You little girl has a small mouth. If what you said is true, then if your sister can embroider novel patterns, I promise you will only compare with 12 Wen. The price is high, not low!"

"Okay, so the shopkeeper let my sister do embroidery work?" Xin Wan said happily.

"Then I'll give you a try." The shopkeeper took out a piece of cloth and said to Xin Cui, "I won't make it difficult for you when you just started embroidery, your embroidery skills need to be practiced, but if you really have a good pattern, That's worth the money too.

Take this cloth back and make it yourself, and hand over at least three decent works to me. If you do well, I will let you do embroidery work normally in the future. "

Xin Cui was very happy, her face was full of excitement, and she hurriedly said: "Thank you, shopkeeper, I, I will definitely take good care of it and make it well, don't worry."

Shopkeeper Wen nodded, then looked at Xin Wan with a smile.

Xin Wan looked away seemingly unintentionally, and secretly observed Li Yu's complexion. Sure enough, she saw that the smile on her face had disappeared, and she lowered her head and bit her lip, showing a bit of resignation.

After leaving the cloth village, Xin Cui hurriedly pulled Xin Wan and said, "Little sister, what tricks did you really pick up?"

"I don't remember many, only 3 or 5. I'll draw them for you when I get home. Dad is the best at carving. Didn't he carve all the beautiful beams when building the house? So I can draw. Don't worry, second sister. !" Xin Wan said loudly, claiming credit.

"Xiao Cui, I heard you say that your Xiao Wan is talkative after recovering from illness, but now it is true, I don't even know her anymore." Li Yu looked at Xin Wan with a smile, but Xin Wan couldn't help but smile. fundus.

The reason why Xin Wan did this today was to teach Xin Cui a lesson, and of course to let her see Li Yu's true face.

Xin Cui is 12 years old and will soon be 13 years old. In ancient times, it was very common for girls to marry at the age of 15. Li Yu is not a good person. If such a person is not guarded, Xin Cui will suffer a lot sooner or later.

So Xin Wan planned to make Xin Cui feel very sad, see the true colors of some people, and let her break contact with this scheming girl.
