LIGHTNOVELWORLD The happy little days of the Ye family
Chapter 88 Selling embroidery pictures in the county town
Ye Mu and others entered the Li family embroidery workshop.
Shopkeeper Li was very happy to see Ye Mu and others. The last time Ye Mu embroidered the picture of Guanyin sending children, she sold it to a wealthy family in the county, which made a lot of money for the embroidery workshop.
Shopkeeper Li has high expectations for the big picture brought by Ye Mu this time.
Shopkeeper Li opened the embroidery pictures brought by several people one by one and looked at them carefully. These four embroidery pictures were all pretty good, especially Ye Mu's embroidery picture, which made shopkeeper Li's eyes light up.
Shopkeeper Li was very happy after seeing the embroidery pictures and accepted all four embroidery pictures with satisfaction.
The second cousin and Ye Qingqing's embroidery skills are still relatively immature, and the embroidery cloth and thread used are relatively common, so the price of the embroidery is not high.
Ye Qingqing's picture of Guanyin got 2 taels of silver, and her second cousin's picture of Hundred Flowers got [-] taels of silver.
The two people's embroidery pictures were only small pictures, and the cost of silk cloth and embroidery thread was only about 500 Wen, which meant that they made more than one or two silver dollars in two months.
Both of them were doing embroidery for the first time, and they were very nervous on the way here. They didn't expect that shopkeeper Li would accept the embroidery at such a high price.
It was the first time they made embroidery and sold so much money. The two little girls were very happy. They held their little hands and kept giggling.
Ye Mu and Second Aunt embroidered large pictures, and the embroidery skills and materials were of the highest quality, so the price was much higher than the small pictures produced by Ye Qingqing and others.
In addition to fine embroidery thread and silk, Ye Mu's Eight Immortals birthday celebration picture also uses a lot of gold thread, which is both festive and noble.
This embroidered picture cost Ye Mu eight taels of silver, and Ye Mu spent a lot of money.
This picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating their birthday was finally accepted by shopkeeper Li at a high price of 25 taels. After deducting the capital, it meant earning 17 taels of silver, which was enough to prepare a dowry for Ye Qingqing.
Ye Mu held the silver and looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was happy inside.
My aunt's moon-viewing picture was slightly inferior to Ye Mu's embroidered picture, but I still got 20 taels of silver. My second aunt didn't use gold thread, and the cost was lower. I was very satisfied with the 20 taels of silver.
The second aunt and Mother Ye were very satisfied with the price. They regretted not coming to the county earlier to sell embroidery. How much money they lost from selling embroidery in the town.
Grandma Ye's eyesight was damaged when she was an embroiderer, and now she can no longer do embroidery. However, Grandma Ye has been researching the jade flower recently, and this time she specially brought some silk flowers to show Shopkeeper Li.
In fact, Grandma Ye was also inspired by Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing made a lot of money making hairbands and headbands. Grandma Ye also wanted to find something to do, so she came up with the idea of making silk flowers.
Grandma Ye didn't want to compete with Ye Qingqing and others for business, and planned to sell the Juanhua she made to Li Family Embroidery Workshop.
Most of the people who come to Lijia Embroidery Workshop are women, and women’s rouge, gouache and hair accessories can be bought at Lijia Embroidery Workshop.
This time, Grandma Ye brought over 30 silk flowers. These 30 silk flowers were of 3 different styles. Although the fabrics used were ordinary linen, they were more unique in style.
If it is made of cotton or silk, it will definitely look better. It is not impossible to sell it for hundreds or eighty yuan in an embroidery workshop.
Making silk flowers is not difficult, and new styles are quickly imitated. Shopkeeper Li wants to buy the style of silk flowers directly.
Let the people in the embroidery workshop make a large number of silk flowers and make it a hit. Let everyone in the county know about Li's embroidery workshop, and there will be no need to worry about imitations in the future.
Grandma Ye was old and couldn't make many silk flowers. It would be good to sell the patterns directly, so she agreed to sell silk flower styles.
In the end, shopkeeper Li spent 3 taels of silver to buy 3 styles of silk flowers. The silk flowers that Grandma Ye brought were also collected at 20 cents each.
Shopkeeper Li also promised that Grandma Ye could continue to make these silk flowers in the future, but she could only sell them to the Li Family Embroidery Workshop.
The people who got the money were very happy and couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
After several people came out of Lijia Embroidery Workshop, they went to Yangjia Cloth Shop.
My second aunt bought some fine embroidery threads from Hangzhou, a few embroidery needles from Suzhou, and some fine white silk.
What Ye Mu wants is similar to what Second Aunt wants, except for some more gold thread.
Ye Qingqing asked for some silk rags and cotton rags to take back to make hairbands and headbands.
Silk rags and cotton rags cost money to buy, and the price is not low, but the hair accessories are also expensive. Ye Qingqing still has limited energy to make embroidery, so now she only makes expensive styles.
Grandma Ye asked for some large pieces of cotton cloth to take back and make silk flowers.
Grandma Ye has limited energy and does not plan to sell silk flowers directly. Grandma Ye plans to think of some new styles and sell silk flowers in her free time.
Grandma Ye is not greedy either. It would be nice to have a new pattern every month.
Shopkeeper Yang is familiar with Ye's father and Ye's mother, and the items purchased this time were based on the price when Ye's father purchased them.
The second cousin and Ye Qingqing's embroidery skills were not up to par, and they could not use the fine silk and embroidery threads from Yangjia Cloth Store for the time being, so they went to Chenjia Cloth Store again carrying large and small bags of things.
Mother Ye helped Ye Qingqing choose a set of embroidery needles suitable for her, and also helped pick out a large bag of embroidery thread and silk cloth.
The second aunt on the side did the same. She picked out a lot of embroidery things for her second cousin.
Shopkeeper Chen was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear when he saw Mother Ye and the others picking out a lot of things for embroidery.
She said cheerfully: "Ms. Ye, it's already autumn. Do you want to buy some thick fabric to make clothes? There is also newly arrived cotton in the shop, which is good for making cotton-padded clothes or quilts."
Autumn in the South is not very cold. It is still as hot as summer during the day, but it is a little cooler at night and early in the morning.
Mother Ye picked a piece of thick burlap and planned to make a thin coat for everyone in the family.
Grandma Ye also picked two pieces of thick burlap to make a set of thick autumn clothes for everyone in the family.
Shopkeeper Chen saw that Mother Ye and Grandma Ye only wanted thick fabrics, and actively sold cotton to several people. "There is also new cotton that just came out this year. It is soft and warm. Do you want to bring some too?"
Grandma Ye touched the cotton in the sack. It was indeed this year's new cotton. She glanced at Mother Ye and nodded.
Winter in the south does not snow as much as in the north. Most of the time it is not particularly cold, but there is always more than a month where you still need to wear thick cotton clothes.
Grandma Ye’s side was a thick cotton-padded coat made the year before last, but the cotton inside was thin, and the cotton-padded coats of several children were in a state of ruin.
Grandma Ye planned to change the old cotton-padded clothes into thin cotton-padded clothes, and then make a new thick cotton-padded coat for each person.
Ye's mother just made new cotton-padded clothes for her family last year, and she can continue to wear them this year, but she plans to make thin cotton-padded clothes for Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye each.
Mother Ye asked for 3 pounds of cotton, and Grandma Ye asked for 20 pounds of cotton.
Ye Qingqing wrapped up the rags and large pieces of cloth from Chenjia Cloth Shop.
Shopkeeper Chen and Ye's mother are also familiar with each other. The items purchased this time were at the price when Ye's father purchased them. Second aunt was very happy and could save a lot of money.
Shopkeeper Li was very happy to see Ye Mu and others. The last time Ye Mu embroidered the picture of Guanyin sending children, she sold it to a wealthy family in the county, which made a lot of money for the embroidery workshop.
