Chapter 41 Don’t deal with each other
The gate of the embroidery workshop opened soon.
The person who opened the door was Qiao Niang, the owner of the embroidery shop.
She recognized Chen Dongyue at a glance, "Ah, isn't this sister Dongyue? Come on, please come in, please come in."
This is not to say that Chen Dongyue's previous business was so big that her boss could recognize her at a glance.
Mainly because of Chen Dongyue's stature, she is really tall in Renyi County. In addition, she is strong and strong, so she is really unforgettable.
but.
"Sister Dongyue, is there anything bothering you recently? It seems to me that your face has become smaller, and your waist seems to be a little thinner?" Qiao Niang said, took two steps back, and took a closer look. Chen Dongyue glanced at her a few times, and then affirmed: "Don't tell me, you've really lost weight."
Chen Dongyue sighed, "Hey, the world is difficult and if you don't have enough to eat, you will naturally lose weight.
So, Sister Qiaoniang, why don’t you give me a cheaper bag? "
"......"
In one sentence, three people were left speechless.
Qiao Niang felt that she had dug a hole for herself and didn't know how to answer the question.
In addition, Shui Hua Niang and Song Bufan were thinking in their hearts that if Chen Dongyue said that she didn't have enough to eat, then there would be few families in Renyi County who could say that they had enough to eat.
Chen Dongyue and the others have to eat three meals a day! !
Three meals! !
But ordinary people like Song Bufan and others only eat one and a half meals a day! !
The so-called one and a half meals means one dry meal at noon and one mushy meal at night. After eating, you have to go to bed immediately.
If you sleep a moment late, the urge to urinate will come.
Once you can't help but urinate and go out to urinate, you'll be so hungry that you'll be scratching your head and liver all night long, and you won't be able to sleep well all night.
So Chen Dongyue actually said that she didn't have enough to eat, it was just... showing off.
At this time, several people had already entered the courtyard, but there was a screen wall at the entrance of the courtyard, and several people had not yet gone around.
Qiao Niang, who didn't know how to answer the conversation, suddenly looked at Song Bufan, whose face was distorted for some reason.
She quickly found a way to change the topic, "Brother, we are all embroiderers here. It's not convenient for you to go in. Why don't you wait here?"
"That's fine," Shui Hua Niang was the first to agree. She immediately put down the pole on her shoulders, "Daddy, just stay here and look at things. Dongyue and I will come out soon."
"Okay," although Song Bufan has been arguing with Shui Hua Niang for many days, in front of outsiders, the two of them still talk back and forth, quite like a person, "Go, I'll be waiting at the door. Dongyue , backpack!"
After being reminded, Chen Dongyue remembered that she was still carrying fifty or sixty kilograms of grain.
Needless to say, she felt that her rock climbing these days had been somewhat effective. She almost didn't feel much if she carried fifty or sixty kilograms of stuff on her back.
Tsk, even after climbing over that rammed stone for so many days, she always felt as if it was a little lighter. If she went up the mountain another day, she was going to find a slightly larger rock to come down and continue to climb over.
.......
After putting down the food, Chen Dongyue and Shuihua Niang followed Qiao Niang into the inner courtyard.
At this time, because it was already November, the weather was cold, and there would be snow falling from time to time.
Qiao Niang was afraid that the embroiderers would get frostbite on their hands, so she lit a charcoal basin in the largest hall. Five embroidery stands were placed around the large charcoal basin, and the embroiderers sat in a circle.
After entering the house, Chen Dongyue pretended to watch the embroiderer embroidering flowers for a while, and then asked questions for a while before explaining her purpose.
She said that she came here today just for the pouches and sachets. She wanted as many of these gadgets as she wanted.
When Qiao Niang heard this, the corners of her mouth that were originally smiling turned to the corners of her ears in an instant, "Ah, my sister Dongyue did a good job in business! Nowadays, the world is difficult, and the cloth shop can't even sell two or three pieces in a month. Ten purses, you need three or four hundred..."
"What the hell?!" Shui Hua Niang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Three or four hundred purses?! Dongyue, calm down!"
After saying that, Shui Hua Niang even grabbed Chen Dongyue's sleeve in an attempt to prevent Chen Dongyue from pocketing money.
This move successfully attracted Qiao Niang's three eyes.
She was about to say something, but she heard Chen Dongyue patting Shui Hua Niang's hand with bulging veins and comforting her: "Don't worry, clanma, I'm not using this for myself, it's all for making money."
"Making money?!" Shui Hua Niang's eyes were full of doubts, her hands still firmly grasping Chen Dongyue's sleeves, "Few people in our village can use this purse. How do you sell it after you buy it? How can you sell it? Don’t mess around.”
"Can you ask about this?!" Qiao Niang spoke up before Chen Dongyue, "Who said the purse has to be sold in your village? Sister Dongyue must have her own way, and I have to explain it to you. ?!”
This country woman really doesn't understand the principles of doing business at all.
You shouldn't be asking, what are you asking about!
But Shui Hua Niang directly chose to ignore Qiao Niang. She only pulled Chen Dongyue and said: "Dongyue, you heard the clan grandma said that the worse the times, the more we have to cover our money bags, but we must not impulse......"
"You cover your own money!!!" Qiao Niang was almost furious with this woman, "Who doesn't want you to cover your own money bag?! As for other people's money, can you take care of it?"
"Why can't you control her?" Shui Hua Niang also got angry, "I'm Dongyue's clan grandmother. If she calls me "milk," I can control her.
Don't think that I don't know. You think Dongyue is a big-brained person, so you think she's being taken advantage of? "
Chen Dongyue: It’s noisy, but don’t beat around the bush and curse!
Seeing that Qiao Niang's face was red with anger, Chen Dongyue, who didn't want to be scolded for no reason, hurriedly said, "Don't get excited! Listen to me!"
Hearing Chen Dongyue finally speak, a mouthful of saliva gathered in her mouth, ready to spit on Shui Hua Niang, but Qiao Niang had to swallow the saliva she had prepared.
Shui Hua Niang originally wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but Chen Dongyue whispered in her ear, "Breaking money and losing money, be careful of losing money."
The water flower girl opened her mouth wide and exposed her front teeth, and immediately pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing that the two of them were finally quiet, Chen Dongyue continued: "I have indeed found a home for these handicrafts.
Don't worry, my dear, I came here to buy this after they already paid for it, so I won't lose anything.
But Sister Qiao Niang, in fact, most of the reservations made by customers are made with pocket money. I have to discuss this with others whether I can exchange money... so this price..."
"Don't bargain yet," Qiao Niang stretched out her hand to stop Chen Dongyue from continuing, "I'll go get it and have a look with you. Then you'll know that I get what you pay for, and I don't bring anything with you at all." Tricked you."
Shui Hua Niang was about to argue with Qiao Niang about not being allowed to bargain. Chen Dongyue immediately whispered in her ear: "I'm going to lose my money. I'm going to lose my money..."
The water flower girl who was about to squirt suddenly became silent.
.......
Not long after, Qiao Niang came out of the back hall with a gift box. She walked to Chen Dongyue, opened the gift box, and then picked up a few strips for Chen Dongyue to take a closer look.
This Luozi is really good.
Even though the things used to make knots are simple, just strands of silk thread, the knots produced are full of variety.
Plum blossom network, goldfish network, mandarin duck network, concentric network, as well as various beads strung on the network and gold inlaid jade made of gold thread, the level of sophistication is simply astonishing.
Even Shui Hua Niang, who was originally full of hostility towards Qiao Niang, couldn't help but marvel, "You tell me, this person is different from others, how come his hands are so skillful?!"
Qiao Niang sneered: "That's natural. Embroidery and lacing are all delicate work, and not everyone can do it."
After saying that, she looked up and down several times.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Shui Hua Niang was also a tough guy, "Yes, I don't know how to tie people, but I can hit people, do you believe it?"
..........."I have nothing to say to people like you!" Qiao Niang rolled her eyes at Shuihua Niang three times, and then turned to Chen Dongyue with a smile, "Sister Dongyue, I won't give you random prices.
A simple Plum Blossom Luo like this will cost you fifteen cents each, while a more complicated one like the Goldfish Luo will cost you thirty cents. After all, it takes some effort to compile.
There are also pairs of concentric networks, mandarin ducks and the like. I reckon it’s cheaper for you, fifty-five cents per pair. "
An embroidery girl nearby suddenly raised her head and looked at Qiao Niang.
