The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 34 The villain first, then the gentleman
Xiaomi tore up a piece of paper and started to make a list again. Silk, satin, embroidery thread, and even paint for painting needed to be purchased.

Now that you have decided to take the high-end route, you must strive for excellence, at least to make people willing to pay for it at a glance, and with peripheral products, it will be the best if it is a hit.

However, the woman in this time and space is different from the previous life where she had to go to the mall to buy underwear.Here, a woman's basic skill is needlework.

No matter how finely Aunt Liu and others make it, as long as the price is good, someone will be able to imitate it immediately.

After all, it is best to think about a logo that no one else can imitate.

But what sign is good...

Xiaomi wandered around the room thinking about it, everyone was used to her appearance, so they didn't bother her, and continued to chat and laugh.

Unexpectedly, Xiaomi suddenly grabbed Gui Zhi'er's hand, pointed to the cloth strip in her hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, you are such a good embroiderer, what unique embroidery method do you know? It's the kind of embroidery that only you can know. Embroidered, more complicated, it is difficult for others to imitate?"

Gui Zhi'er was startled and almost pricked her finger. Hearing this, she said, "My grandmother is said to be from the south. Later, she escaped from the flood and married my grandfather. I learned a lesson from my grandmother when I was young. Grandma said she figured out how to embroider it by herself, and when she embroidered the handkerchief and sent it to the cloth shop, the shopkeeper said it was ugly and refused to accept it. Later, she taught it to me, but it was really ugly."

"I'm not afraid of ugliness, I'm afraid that people will easily learn it!"

Just now, Xiaomi was just looking at Guizhi's embroidery work, so she asked a question, but she didn't expect to find the treasure, so she immediately asked Guizhi to embroider a word.

Sure enough, as Gui Zhier said, this embroidery method requires the embroidery thread to be stacked together, like small bulges, making up a word, and it is a bit crooked, which is really not beautiful.

But Xiaomi thought that it would complement each other perfectly with Peter Rabbit, who is also somewhat abstract and anthropomorphic, so he said, "Sister-in-law, you can help me with this embroidery work in the future, and I will never treat you badly. But you have to promise, this The embroidery work is only done for me, and I cannot teach this embroidery method to anyone."

Gui Zhi'er was so frightened by her solemnity that she didn't know how to answer.It was Aunt Liu who shouted from the side, "Don't worry, Xiaomi, since you can use this embroidery technique and you get paid for it, it's yours. No one should try to learn it secretly. Auntie is responsible for everything."

"Okay, I trust my aunt and sister-in-law."

First the villain and then the gentleman, after the wages and details are set, everyone is busy.This night, more than a dozen rabbit skins were selected.Five brown, five white, and three black and white.

Seeing that Xiaomi didn't prepare any cotton, Aunt Liu said, "Xiaomi, is there no cotton left? I still have a few catties of new cotton at home, why not use it first!"

"No need, auntie, stuffing cotton in a rabbit will easily crush it after a long time. It's better to put down, it's warm and light to hug."

Xiaomi had made up his mind a long time ago, and directly took two taels of silver to Aunt Liu, "Tomorrow, I still have to ask Brother Xiaodao to take someone to help me go to another village. I can collect ten catties of down for the money and come back, and the rest will be my brothers' money." wages."

The down thing is because Xiaomi made capes and cotton trousers for Feng Jian and Lu Laosan before, so the villagers know the benefits.At that time, no one knew why, and no one spread the word.

If Xiaodao takes people to other villages to buy it, let alone two hundred yuan a catty, someone might sell it for twenty yuan.No matter how you calculate it, this is a good deal that makes a lot of money!

Aunt Liu naturally didn't want to take advantage of this, so she tried her best to refuse, "Oh, no, no! It's just an errand, why should I ask for wages!"

"Auntie, just take it! You also know that my second brother is very playful. I dare not entrust him with such a thing. I have no choice but to make Brother Xiaodao suffer. If Auntie loves me, help me I'll wash and bring the feathers I've collected, and I don't have any helpers at home."

"Okay, this is a trivial matter. Auntie will keep it clean for you and bring it here."

Everyone chatted a few more gossips, and seeing the moon rising to the sky, they left and went home one after another.

Of course, the fur and all kinds of things still stay with Xiaomi.From now on, I will gather here every night to do needlework, which will bring a lot of trouble.

When the women got home, they would inevitably be questioned again.

I heard that Xiaomi paid such a high wage, but it was just doing some needlework.The old ladies said a few prodigal words in their mouths, but they really wanted to participate in it in their hearts.

Privately, the young daughters-in-law didn't want their mother-in-law to go to the Lu's compound, after all, they rarely had two free hours a day.

What's more, Xiaomi can say that if the doll sells for a high price, he will buy them something as a thank you gift.Even the wages, in addition to handing over to the family, can also be used as a private house.

If the mother-in-law also followed, everything would be under the eyes of the mother-in-law, but it's not that there is no freedom at all.

So, they added fuel and vinegar to explain Xiaomi's strict requirements, and the old ladies naturally backed down.At such an advanced age, their embroidery skills are not as good as those of young daughters-in-law. If they are asked to rework, they will lose all face.

Not to mention the gossip of every household, just that Xiaomi took his second brother, the "porter", into the city after dinner the next day to go shopping.After Feng Jian's master and servant heard the news, the brother and sister had already left.Gao Ren jumped and yelled that Xiaomi was not righteous, so he didn't take him to the city for a stroll. He hadn't eaten the roast chicken from the old shop in the south of the city for a long time, and he was in a panic.

However, Lao Yang glanced at his master's dark face, and quickly tore away the rebellious Gao Ren.

Fortunately, Xiaomi is thinking about the big and small things at home, and the sun will come back before it reaches the top of the head.

Xu felt Gao Ren's resentment when she was tens of miles away, and she actually brought the roast chicken from the old shop in the south of the city.Lu Wu was tired all morning, and before unloading the car, he grabbed the chicken legs with him. While the two were arguing, the Lu family compound became lively again.

Feng Jian was sitting by the window writing something, when he heard the movement in the yard, he opened the window sash.

Xiaomi was carrying two packages filled with silk and satin cloth heads, smiling like a flower, it was reflected in his eyes suddenly like that, and it was engraved in his heart again.

Some things are like this, the more you want to stay away, the more you take this matter to your heart.Perhaps the closer we get together, the more distant we become.

He was silent for a few days, but he still couldn't figure out how to treat this girl who was as lively as an elf.

Selfish possession, or reluctantly let go...

Seeing Uncle Yang standing under the eaves of the corridor, Xiaomi greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Yang, I bought you half a catty of shredded tobacco and a brass tobacco rod. In the evening, I will ask my sisters-in-law to embroider a pouch of shredded tobacco for you. You don't have to be afraid of Old Master Feng handing over cigarettes."

Yang Bo nodded again and again, so happy that he could see his teeth but not his eyes.The people in Laoxiongling are warm and simple. If they think something is good, they must invite guests or friends to taste it.

He wandered around the village these days, and sometimes squatted and gossiped with Old Master Feng and a few old men, and he always had to be stuffed with a pipe for two puffs.

Ordinarily, shredded tobacco is really a good thing. After a few puffs, I feel much more energetic, and my writing is smoother.It's just that he felt awkward when the tobacco rod was taken out of someone's mouth and then stuffed into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Xiaomi actually found out about this matter. Not only did it have everything in place, but it was also thoughtful.

"Thank you Miss Lu, the old man is very grateful."

"Uncle Yang, you're being polite, we're all a family... Uh, I'll put things in the backyard first, and I'll ask Uncle Yang to help me cook for me later."

In the middle of talking, Xiaomi suddenly remembered something, changed the subject vaguely, and went back to the backyard.

Leaving Lao Yang to look back at the closed window sash, he sighed helplessly...

In the evening, the women gathered again, and they were overjoyed to see two large parcels full of silk and satin heads of various colors.

"Xiaomi, where did you find this cloth head, with so many colors?"

"My sister-in-law forgot, the shopkeeper Chen is running a cloth shop, and I paid two taels of silver to wrap up all the cloth heads." Xiaomi snapped an oil lamp and replied casually.

"This is too cost-effective!"

"That's right, this piece of plain satin is enough to make a small coat."

It is natural for women to love beauty. When they see good fabrics, they can't help picking and choosing.

It was Aunt Liu who called them back to the topic in time. Those who sewed rabbits and those who cut small clothes were all busy.

Xiaomi leaned on the table, lit an oil lamp alone and began to draw a draft of the comic book.

Although she is very familiar with the story of Peter Rabbit in the previous life, many plots cannot be told in this time and space, and need to be changed appropriately.

While thinking and writing like this, she was exhausted all night, but she only drew dozens of pictures.Later, I was very tired, so I simply started to draw some miniature baskets, small tables and chairs, small beds, dishes, etc., thinking about matching a set of play toys for Peter Rabbit.

She didn't believe that the toys that were popular in the previous life couldn't capture the young lady who was locked in the back house all year round...

The weather at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, just as Mr. Feng had foreseen, warmed up quickly after the last snow melted.

The mountain forest finally revealed the whole picture, and the little buds that were faintly anxious got out of the branches.

Flocks of birds fly across the fields, leaving a message of the approaching spring and kicking off the new year.

On this day, Xiaomi made breakfast, and didn't even bother to eat a few bites. He was only busy packing the formed Peter Rabbit into boxes and matching them with corresponding gadgets.

Lu Wu took the rice bowl, and walked around the box while eating chicken soup and porridge.As a man who practiced martial arts, he naturally didn't like these little girls' playthings, but after a few glances, he went into the room to grab that dish of spicy whitebait with Gao Ren.

Xiaomi hurriedly called him, "Second brother, hurry up and get a car after dinner!"

As soon as the words were finished, before Lu Wu could respond, Feng Jian tidied up and walked out of the East Wing.

"I'll go into town with you."

"Ah," Xiaomi was taken aback when he heard it, and when he was about to refuse, Feng Jian went to the stable and untied the bay red horse.

Lao Yang also adjusted the ropes on the front of the car, it was obvious that the master and servant had made up their minds to go into the city together.

Xiaomi couldn't help it, the embarrassment between her and Feng Jian couldn't be explained clearly, and it was still she who was arguing.It's not a problem to live under the same roof like this, not seeing you when you look up!

Let nature take its course, maybe one day it will be completely resolved because of something.
