"Yao'er, what are you doing?"
"Mother, let's go to Yancheng to buy things." She already had an idea for the first money, and now she will go to the road first.
Su Qing couldn't screw her, so he could only accompany her forward.
"Aunt Yang, do you want to go to Yancheng?" Mu Yunyao asked in a crisp voice when she saw the Yang family.
"It's so cold, what are you girls doing in Yancheng?"
"My mother and I have thought of some ways to make money, and I want to go there. Auntie, let's go together." Yang's relationship with her mother has always been good, and now she is willing to help as much as she can.
Mr. Yang thought for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll accompany you and your wife. Don't walk, wait. I'll let your Uncle Yang go to Lizheng's house to borrow that small woolen stove, and let's ride a donkey. go in the car."
Seeing Mrs. Yang's expression, Mu Yunyao knew that she didn't believe what she said about making money, but she was worried about the two of them, and her heart warmed slightly: "Okay, thank you aunt."
Yang's husband was taciturn, driving the donkey cart all the way without making a sound, but Yang's and Su Qing chatted affectionately.
When they arrived in Yancheng, Mu Yunyao didn't hang around, and went directly to the largest spring embroidery workshop.
Looking at the crowd entering and leaving the Spring Embroidery Workshop, Yang's heart was restrained. Those people wore shiny clothes. If they went in and smeared others, they would not be able to pay for it: "Girl Yunyao, everything here is expensive. Very, we can't afford it."
"Don't worry, auntie, sometimes you don't need to spend money to buy things." Although she had dozens of taels of silver in her hand, she was afraid that she would not be able to buy all the silk threads when she threw it into the Spring Embroidery Workshop, so she planned to empty her gloves.
Mu Yunyao took the two of them into the door with a natural look, and went straight to the counter: "The shopkeeper, I heard that your Spring Embroidery Workshop claims to be embroidering all over the world in spring. I wonder if the colors of silk threads are complete?"
The shopkeeper of the Spring Embroidery Workshop was doing the accounting. Hearing this, he could not help but look curiously. Their Spring Embroidery Workshop has been in operation for over a hundred years, and they are also ranked in the top ranks in the entire Dali country. .
When he saw Mu Yunyao, he couldn't help but be startled, such a pretty girl from Zhong Liuyuxiu, if it wasn't for her wearing a thick boulder skirt, he would have doubted which official lady he was seeing: "This girl, you are here. To buy silk thread?"
"Yes, I want the largest embroidery frame, the best silk thread, all kinds of colors."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but become more curious: "This is the largest embroidery frame, but it's very big, what do you want?"
"Nature is embroidery."
"Haha, girl, this embroidery frame and all kinds of silk threads you mentioned are not cheap." The shopkeeper looked at Yang Shi and Su Qing, who looked cautious. Neither of them seemed like a rich master!
"The shopkeeper is not for sale. If you don't sell it, I will go to the Caiyue Pavilion opposite." Finding the shopkeeper's gaze made Su Qing even more uncomfortable, Mu Yunyao was instantly annoyed, and she was about to leave. people.
"Wait, girl," he stopped her, and the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. For some reason, the imposing little girl in front of him always made him not dare to despise, "These kinds of threads are very heavy, and the girl follows suit. I'll go upstairs to see it." Forget it, as long as I'm in a good mood today, I'll have a good relationship.
Mu Yunyao thought for a while and followed in the footsteps of the shopkeeper.
When the room was opened upstairs, a unique smell of silk and satin came, and Yang was stunned when he saw all kinds of gorgeous silk and satin.
Mu Yunyao's eyes fell on the embroidery threads hanging from wooden poles: "Shopkeeper, although you have a lot of embroidery threads, the colors are not complete."
"It's not complete yet?" The shopkeeper frowned. Could this girl be making trouble
"Just talking about this red, you have Zhenghong, jujube red, rose red, pink, and water red, but silver red and magenta are missing. Am I wrong?"
"This... Silver red and magenta are actually similar to Zhenghong and rose red, and most people don't use them much, so..."
Mu Yunyao sighed in disappointment: "The average person uses less, that's what they are willing to do, but I have to be of great use, so naturally I can't do it arbitrarily. The shopkeeper, this is the list I made, look at it, Maybe together."
"So many?" The shopkeeper was surprised, "Girl, you also wrote bright yellow, this bright yellow is close to bright yellow, and no silk and satin shop would dare to sell it to you." That's something illegal, and it's a big crime to be caught by an official. The officials will not listen to your explanation that this is bright yellow or not. After all, it looks similar.
"Then, can you sell me the bright yellow silk thread, shopkeeper?"
"Don't sell it." The shopkeeper regretted in his heart, knowing that this girl was only here to make trouble, he would not waste this time.
Mu Yunyao smiled slightly, and pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve: "The shopkeeper will take a look at it."
"What's so good about this handkerchief... This..." The shopkeeper glanced at it, then immediately reached out and took it over, put the handkerchief on his hand and looked at it carefully, and even took two steps towards the window unconsciously, "This is a lost legend. The flying needle embroidery method?"
"The shopkeeper has good eyesight, but the embroidery cloth is rough and the needles are not suitable, but he can barely see."
The shopkeeper carefully observed again and again, and carefully touched the embroidered butterfly on the handkerchief with his fingers: "Flying needle embroidery method, the splitting thread is thinner than the hair, and the needle is as fine as a hair, and the color is unique, so it can be dyed into writing, feathers and feathers. The flowers are all ingenious, and the characters in the landscape are all vivid."
Mu Yunyao smiled happily: "I want to embroider a painting, I wonder if the shopkeeper would like to sell me some silk threads?"
The shopkeeper smiled and looked at Mu Yunyao as if he was looking at a golden doll: "The girl and the two ladies have been standing for a long time, and they are tired after thinking about it. How about a cup of tea in the tea room? I also want to have someone prepare the girl. needed thread."
Mu Yunyao's eyes flashed slightly, and then nodded: "Okay."
The shopkeeper immediately served good tea and snacks, and spoke carefully, exploring the origin of painting and embroidery techniques.
Mu Yunyao had a smile on her face. She seemed innocent, but she didn't reveal any useful information. After a while, all kinds of silk threads were delivered, and the quality was two layers better than what she saw just now: "The shopkeeper Yes, how many silver taels are these threads?"
"Excuse me, but I don't know what the girl is going to embroider, so much silk thread is needed?"
"Dad liked to draw before he was alive, but he felt that the paper was too thin to preserve for a long time, so I regretted it. Now that my father has passed away, I want to embroider his favorite splendid mountains and rivers."
"Oh, what's the specs?"
"If it is embroidered according to the size of the original painting, it will be about six feet long and five feet high."
"The painting and embroidery process is extremely meticulous. I am afraid it will take seven or eight days to embroider a single bird. I wonder how long it will take the girl to embroider such a large side of embroidery?"
"I have enough time to embroider slowly." Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and seemed to be interested in the cakes on the table, so she took a slow taste. She has a beautiful appearance, and she is accompanied by a little unrestrained in her gestures, which only makes people feel that her temperament is pure.
"If I rush to work, how long will the girl be able to complete the masterpiece?" The shopkeeper was a little nervous when he finished speaking.
