Chapter 30 Double-sided Embroidery

Li Ting picked up a set of peony-style purse handkerchiefs to check.

The patterns are common, but the purse, handkerchief, and silk flowers are matched together to form a complete set. The embroidered peony shapes are different, and it can be clearly seen that they are related to each other.

It's really ingenious.

On weekdays, purses and handkerchiefs are sold separately, and the price will not be too high.If it is this set of three styles, it will be more popular.

In the future, the embroidery lady in the shop can also make the embroidery work into a kit.

Li Ting's mind was spinning quickly about business.

Because Fu Yan brought her such a good idea, she also liked Fu Yan even more.

Li Ting put down her purse: "I don't know what to call this little lady?"

"Fu Yan, the lady boss can just call me by my name."

"Sister Fu, your idea for this set of kits is really good. Although the patterns of peony and lily are common, but your stitching and color matching are top-grade." Li Ting boasted enthusiastically.

Fu Yan was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry: "Thanks to the proprietress for not giving up."

Li Ting: "You should have seen the prices of purses in the shop in my front yard just now. Of course, I will sell them after receiving the goods, and the price must be slightly lower."

Li Ting discussed with her slowly: "If you embroider the same color into a kit, I will pay you an extra. It is a good idea for me to buy you. Fresh things can make a lot of money in the early stage, but they can't be kept later." In a month, suit embroidery can be found all over the street for selection, and the price will naturally drop.”

Fu Yan is not in a hurry to negotiate the price of these small embroidery jobs, this is just a stepping stone thrown by her.

Now it seems that Mrs. Li is a good friend.

After all, if she is short-sighted and doesn't see this business opportunity, or if she is narrow-minded and pays her the usual price, or even refuses to accept her at all, she turns around and asks the embroiderer to sell the suit to seize the opportunity...

Fu Yan is weak and has nowhere to reason.There is no intellectual property protection law here!

I didn't see that even in modern times, there are profits to be made, and pirated copies are flying everywhere...

Seeing that Mrs. Li can cooperate, Fu Yan started another topic: "I saw the treasure of your store before, but I don't know if the proprietress can accept double-sided embroidery here?"

Li Ting paused shrewdly and took a deep breath.

You must know that the Li family in Jiangnan has the inheritance of double-sided embroidery, but it is all in the hands of the main family. The girls on her side have no chance to learn and can only buy finished products.

At this moment, there is a young and beautiful lady who comes to deliver double-sided embroidery on her own initiative?

Li Ting was dubious: "Naturally, double-sided embroidery is also accepted. It takes a lot of time to learn this craft... Will the young lady also know this craft?"

Fu Yan didn't explain, and directly took out the remaining two fans embroidered with fat oranges from the bag, and placed them in front of Li Ting.

Li Ting corrected her attitude at this time, and carefully held up the fan to examine it.

I saw a strangely shaped... cat embroidered on the circular fan?

Li Ting frowned slightly, and carefully identified it.

It's a cat!
The shopkeeper next door has a fat big yellow cat. Although the animal on this embroidery looks a bit weird, it can still be seen that it is a cat sleeping and fluttering butterflies.

And the strange thing is that although this cat is different from the realistic patterns seen in the past, it always gives people an itchy feeling in their hearts, and they want to see it even after one glance!

After looking at it for a long time, it's... quite cute?

If Mrs. Li knows a modern word, that feeling is called "cute"!
Mrs. Li pointed to the embroidery pattern and asked Fu Yan suspiciously: "Sister Fu, is this the embroidery pattern you drew yourself? It is a cat embroidery. I have never seen such a style before."

Fu Yan nodded: "This style of painting is called comics. It is estimated that girls and daughters-in-law will like this style."

Li Ting's smile is even brighter, she has found a treasure!

"Hey, don't say it's a little girl's wife, an elderly woman like me is also happy to see it!"

Li Ting really likes it more and more.

Moe is an aesthetic preference that transcends age limits!
"Boss Li is being modest, you don't look old at all! When you go out, everyone may think you are my sister!" Li Ting is a little rich and well-maintained, and she really doesn't look old.

What woman doesn't like to hear people praise her youth and beauty.

Li Ting was amused by Fu Yan's sincere praise and laughed "haha": "Sister Fu has such a sweet mouth. My son is only a few years younger than you. If it is suitable, I really want to marry you into my family." gone."

Li Ting: "However, it's good that we sisters get along well. Don't be polite to me. My girlfriend's name is Ting. You can call me Sister Ting. How about I call you A Yan?"

"Sister Ting!" Fu Yan followed the good advice.

Half-heartedly getting close to Fu Yan, Li Ting did not forget to appreciate the double-sided embroidery in her hand.

The pattern on both sides of the embroidery is the same, and the thread ends are hidden without affecting the appearance.The pins are evenly distributed and finely lubricated.It can also be seen from the color matching and dividing lines that it is different from their Li family's double-sided embroidery skills.

In fact, after so many years of operation, she has seen the double-sided embroidery of various companies.As for the one that Fu Yan took out, she really couldn't tell which school it belonged to...

Don't look into her origin and background, just look at this exquisite, perfect and unexpected embroidery, which is also a rare treasure.Must buy!

Li Ting put the embroidery back to its original place and looked at Fu Yan: "Ah Yan, how much do you want to pay for this double-sided embroidery?"

Fu Yan took a sip of the tea served by the little maid, and played Tai Chi with Li Ting in a leisurely manner: "I used to embroider things here for my own use, and I don't know the market of the cloth village. Sister Ting can help me take a look." .”

The double-sided embroidery that Fu Yan came into contact with in the Zhao Mansion is not cheap to buy, but this is the first time she has experienced double-sided embroidery.I don't know the difference in interest between them.

Fu Yan didn't intend to bargain on the difference in benefits, she had already considered selling it in a proportional way.

Li Ting thought about it for a while, and then tentatively said, "This fan has a novel style, coupled with the skill of double-sided embroidery, how about a ten tael?"

Ordinary fans range from tens to hundreds of wen.Double-sided embroidery is uncommon, and the price is higher, and it is mainly sold in wealthy high-ranking compounds such as squires or officials.

After repacking it, if it is sent to the gathering of officials and wives, it may be sold for dozens of taels of silver.

Fu Yan took a sip of tea, but said nothing.

Back then in the Zhao Mansion, I had never seen double-sided embroidery that was less than 20 taels.

……

"15 taels? My sister has to choose a good wooden frame for mounting. It can't be more..."

Seeing that Li Ting refused to increase the price and still wanted to cooperate, Fu Yan finally spoke again: "Double-sided embroidery is a waste of time, and I don't do much. Sister Ting, look, may my embroidery be sold in your shop? Occupying your land for nothing, and worrying about it, is it possible to do it in seventy-three percent?"

Li Ting pondered, seven to three points...

She is a businessman, she packaged and boasted that she had worked hard, but she only got 15% of the profit.Compared with the [-] taels she just said, buying and reselling, there is a huge gap...
