Fang Jing'an stood up and pulled Fang Qingshi behind him: "He is from Qingwa Village."
"It turns out it's brothers, I'm Fang Qingshi, what's the matter?" Fang Qingshi smiled and asked.
The attitudes of the two strong men suddenly changed. One of them, who had a scar on the left side of his face, clasped his fists and said, "Well, our eldest lady tried to force her way through the mountain gate. She broke in nine times in three days and was caught by our boss.
It won't work if we go on like this, the boss wants to ask Miss Fang to go up the mountain."
"If you don't go in vain, the boss will give you two mules and horses and a carriage." Another black-faced man said.
Fang Qingshi couldn't help but laugh when she heard that Zhu Yuhong had gone nine times in three days. After the two of them finished speaking, she said, "It's getting late today. I still have things to take care of at home. Can we go out tomorrow?"
The scarred man nodded: "Okay, just go, the brothers in the village are going crazy, I'm afraid they won't be able to prevent it."
"We'll wait at the entrance of the village." After the other one finished speaking, he took the scarred man away, not forgetting to give him a few words, which meant that family scandals should not be made public.
After the two of them left, Fang Jing'an's eyebrows twisted into knots. He looked at his overjoyed sister and said lightly: "Who are the people in Qingwa Village? People who can go out to do things shouldn't be so straightforward, right?"
Fang Qingshi waved her hand carelessly: "I guess Yuhong is going to find Miss Shen. Yuhong had this idea last time. The boss asked her to learn her skills in the mountains. If she can't learn well, she won't be allowed to go."
There was a snap.
Fang Qingshi looked up and saw that the book in his elder brother's hand had fallen to the ground. The elder brother's ears turned red as he knelt down to pick up the book.
"Brother." Fang Qingshi said.
Fang Jing'an put the book on the table: "I didn't hold it."
"Do you like Miss Shen?" Fang Qingshi didn't ask, but looked at the panicked elder brother with such determination, the answer was obvious.
Fang Jing'an's heart felt like a mess.
He also wanted to find Liangyu. Although he knew that he could not help at all and he could not leave his two sisters behind, he missed her very much and could not express it to his mouth, which tortured his heart.
Fang Qingshi whispered: "Brother, we are not worthy of the Shen family."
"I know." Fang Jing'an took a slow breath: "Ah Shi, if you're not confused, can you not tell me this?"
"Yeah." Fang Qingshi knew that her elder brother would feel embarrassed if she continued talking, so she changed the topic: "I asked Xu Fang to make sachets for us. Then I will give the formula of the sachets to my little sister. If I sell it in the shop, it will be good.
good."
Fang Jing'an nodded: "Okay, how to run this shop is up to you."
Fang Qingshi was not idle in the afternoon. She sorted out the patterns of the sachets and went out to prepare needlework and materials. The materials for embroidering the purses must be of high quality, including silk, satin, brocade and silk. If she wanted to prepare enough materials, she had to go
The largest clothing store in Luwu County, the owner of the clothing store is the Zheng family.
Early the next morning, Fang Qingshi went to Zhengjia Cloth Village.
The Zheng family's cloth shop and embroidery shop were right next to each other, so Fang Qingshi hesitated and went to the embroidery shop first.
The boy in the embroidery shop saw what Fang Qingshi was wearing and came over with a smile and asked: "Do you want ready-made clothes?"
"I want to buy some leftover materials." Fang Qingshi said.
The young man was not surprised at all. Although Fang Qingshi was wearing a fine cotton dress, the color had faded badly. Even without patches, she was not someone who could spend more than ten taels of silver on a ready-made suit in an embroidery shop.
Seeing that the young man didn't move, Fang Qingshi took out the ten copper coins that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed them over: "Don't worry, little brother, this help is not in vain."
At any time, money can make the world go round, and Fang Qingshi knows this well.
The young boy smiled and asked Fang Qingshi to wait, and went to the back. When he came back after a while, he would take this short and fat woman with him.
The mother-in-law looked Fang Qingshi up and down, and said arrogantly: "Girl, even if it is scraps, they are good things that you can't usually touch. The price is not low. Can you afford it?"
"Big or small is a business. I dare to ask. You always make an offer. We will discuss it if the goods are suitable. If it is successful, it will waste your time. I will have a cup of tea with this little money." Fang Qingshi still took it.
Ten copper coins came out and he handed them over generously.
The mother-in-law looked sideways at the copper coin in Fang Qingshi's hand, obviously not taking a fancy to it.
Fang Qingshi was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It's useless to throw it away. Why don't you help me and get more income? Do you always think this is the case?"
"That's true." The old lady took the copper coins, turned around and shook her bucket-thick waist: "Follow me."
Fang Qingshi followed. After passing the Moon Gate, there was a corridor. The corridor went around the courtyard. The surrounding rooms were filled with embroiderers working there. After the second door, there was a warehouse at the back. In one corner of the warehouse, there were piles of rags like a hill.
The mother-in-law grabbed a handful at random and said, "It's not worth it if the ones here are too small, and it's hard to pick them one by one. Just see how much you get."
Fang Qingshi squatted down and inspected these cloth heads.
Having been in business for two lifetimes, she only needed to browse a few times to realize that there were a lot of tricks in Zheng's embroidery shop, and the leftover materials were not big. People who know how to make women are best at calculating the cutting materials for clothes. After carefully calculating a piece of material,
, there are very few extra inches wide, and some of the materials in this pile are almost three inches wide.
"I'll take all these five taels of silver with me," Fang Qingshi said.
The mother-in-law's eyes widened and she raised her voice: "Are you here to pick up rags? You look like a very smart person, but I didn't expect it to be a fake!"
"Your eyes are so powerful, am I just a clever faker?" Fang Qingshi put a tael of silver into the mother-in-law's hand and whispered: "This matter, I can keep it in my own pocket."
One tael of silver touched the mother-in-law's heart, but she still felt embarrassed and said: "This is really difficult to handle. The girl doesn't understand. In our embroidery workshop, we need to use the leftovers from one pair of scissors twice."
"Please give me some strips of cloth and silk, but they are not strong enough when I take them back and twist the rope. That's why I give such a price for such goods. Besides, I also need needlework, embroidery frame and gold thread." Fang Qing
Shi patted the mother-in-law's arm: "From now on, I will only look for you. Your surname is indispensable."
The mother-in-law smiled: "Your surname is Pan. You have found the right person for this matter. I will do as you say."
Sweet talk always attracts people, and nice words are free. Mrs. Pan asked Fang Qingshi to hire a horse-drawn carriage and wait at the back door. She took sacks and packed all the rags, six sacks in total.
Fang Qingshi bought good silk thread, and finally bought two coins of gold thread. The two coins of gold thread cost only two taels of silver. This is not the best gold thread. After all, this thing is in Luwu County.
, which can only be found in the Zheng family’s shop.
When these things were delivered to Tong Shan's house, Tang Xufang was so frightened that she took Fang Qingshi's hand aside and asked in a low voice: "Miss Fang, you have to give me some proof. I'm very timid.
So scared."
Fang Qingshi put the purse pattern in Tang Xufang's hand: "Okay, I just brought you some spices."
When Tang Xufang saw the various spices that Fang Qingshi brought out, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, I'll send it over when I'm ready."
"I'll come see you later." Fang Qingshi said goodbye and left.
As Tang Xufang sent Fang Qingshi away, she couldn't suppress her inner joy. Such a good embroidery stand was something she had only dreamed of, but she didn't expect to see it in front of her.
Seeing his wife busy, Tong Shan said: "Xu Fang, isn't this too abnormal?"
"Huh?" Tang Xufang looked back at her husband, came over and sat beside the bed, and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you say it was just good luck? Are you scared now?"
