The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 15 Embroidery Rejected



During the meal, everyone knew that Mr. Ye had bought Xiaohoushan.

"That's great. There are more than a dozen ready-made toon trees at the foot of Xiaohou Mountain, so we don't have to look for toon seedlings. A dozen or so trees are enough for us to pick." Ye Qingqing, a little money fan, thought of the dozen or so toon trees. A toon tree, the eyes shine.

"The spring bamboo shoots and toon are a bit old now, but there are still some that are edible. Tomorrow I will go to Xiaohoushan to have a look and pick back some edible bamboo shoots and toon."

Yesterday, I just took a quick look at the flowers on the mountain. Mr. Ye wanted to take advantage of this time to go to the mountain to take a closer look. He also wanted to plant honeysuckle as soon as possible.

"Old man, you bring your family's wheelbarrow tomorrow. The back mountain is at the outermost edge of the village. Using a wheelbarrow to push things back can save a lot of effort."

The road to Xiaohoushan is too difficult to walk, and ox carts and carts will definitely not be able to get in. I can only push the wheelbarrow in. It seems that the road to Xiaohoushan needs to be repaired as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye said directly: "The road to Xiaohoushan has not been used for too long and is overgrown with weeds. Do you want to find some people in the village to repair the road?"

"I'll go to Xiaohou Mountain to have a look tomorrow and then plan carefully. Don't worry. Besides, our family has just bought a mountain, so it's better to keep a low profile."

Mr. Ye thought that the path was not long, so he could do it himself or not.

"Tomorrow I will go to Xiaohou Mountain for a break at school." Ye Donglin has long wanted to go to Xiaohou Mountain. After hearing what Mr. Ye and the others said about Xiaohou Mountain, it is simply a treasure mountain. The little boy in the second period of middle school thought about it. Go treasure hunting.

"There's me, there's me, I'm going too." Ye Xilin has only been to Xiaohoushan once. He was so young at that time that he didn't even remember what it was like there. Now he is full of enthusiasm for Xiaohoushan. curious.

"I..." Ye Qingqing was about to say that we would go together tomorrow, but was interrupted by Ye Mu.

"How many days have you not done embroidery? Your embroidery skills have just improved a bit. If you don't practice hard, your skills will become rusty."

"Okay, it's true that I haven't done embroidery for a few days." Ye Qingqing also knew that he had been too wild in the past few days, and Ye Mu would probably get angry if he didn't stop doing embroidery.

"I have used up all the needles and threads at home. I will go to the embroidery shop tomorrow to sell embroidery products. I will buy some needles and threads when I come back, and then I will teach you new embroidery techniques."

Ye Qingqing also knew that Ye Mu was doing it for her own good, so she responded obediently.

Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye on the side didn't say anything. They were both relatively open-minded elders and would never interfere with Ye's mother and Ye's father in disciplining their children. A loving mother often loses her children, and excessive pampering will only harm her children.

Early in the morning, Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing went to town with a large bag of embroidery. I was busy selling wild vegetables before, and then I was busy looking for toon seedlings at home. I haven’t been to the embroidery workshop for more than a month. This time I have accumulated quite a lot of embroidery.

When Ye Mu came into the embroidery workshop, she did not see her old acquaintance Yang, shopkeeper, but a young woman fiddling with the abacus at the counter.

Mother Ye was a little confused, but she didn't say much. She just said softly: "Hello, I'm here to sell embroidery."

"Okay, I'm the shopkeeper here, just call me shopkeeper Li." The young woman came forward to greet her enthusiastically.

Shopkeeper Li secretly looked at the mother and daughter. The clothes they wore were of average fabric, but the needlework and embroidery on the cuffs were well done. He thought that the embroidery should be about the same.

"My little girl made the handkerchief. Shopkeeper Li will take care of it first to see if it can catch your eye." Mother Ye was careful and took out Ye Qingqing's embroidery first.

"Although the embroidery method is relatively simple, the color matching and layout are good. Our embroidery workshop can collect these embroidery items as third-grade embroidery items, and each handkerchief costs 18 yuan."

Shopkeeper Li saw that although Ye Qingqian was young, his embroidery was good, so Ye Mu's embroidery must be good, and the price did not embarrass the two of them.

"No problem, just follow what shopkeeper Li said." The price of the embroidery was not lowered, and Ye Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"A handkerchief is worth 18 yuan, and the total of 12 handkerchiefs is 216 yuan." Although shopkeeper Li is young, he has good abacus and calculated the price of Ye Qingqing's embroidery in one go.

Ye Mu brought a larger package of embroidery to Shopkeeper Li. "Shopkeeper Li, this is the veil I made. You are in charge."

As soon as Shopkeeper Li saw the shining golden handkerchief, he knew it was Ye Xiuxiu. Suddenly he felt guilty. He looked carefully at the exquisite handkerchief in his hand and thought about how to reject these handkerchiefs.

Yangjia Xiufang originally accepted embroidery from outside, but the large-scale embroidery was basically made by its own embroiderers. The profit of Ye Mu's high-quality handkerchiefs was several times higher than that of ordinary handkerchiefs. Shopkeeper Li took the initiative and asked the embroiderer in the embroidery shop to make a batch of exquisite and expensive handkerchiefs using fine gold threads and silk handkerchiefs. Angry veil.

The handkerchiefs made by Ye Mu only use better materials and are more expensive, and the color matching is better than ordinary embroidery, but the embroidery method is not difficult. The gold silk handkerchiefs made by our own embroiderers are not much different from those made by Ye Mu. .

The cost of a handkerchief made by one's own embroiderer is much lower than that collected from Ye Mu, and the profit can be doubled. Now that the handkerchiefs made by the embroiderer are selling well, shopkeeper Li doesn't want to accept Ye Mu's embroidery.

"Ms. Ye, our own embroidery lady in our embroidery shop also makes high-quality embroidered handkerchiefs like this. From now on, we will no longer accept first-class embroidered handkerchiefs."

Mother Ye was stunned. She didn't expect that the new shopkeeper Li would not accept her embroidery. She must have known that the gold thread handkerchiefs she made were highly profitable and wanted to make the money herself.

"My mother has been selling handkerchiefs at Yang's Embroidery Shop for many years. Why did she suddenly stop accepting them?" Ye Qingqing looked at Shopkeeper Li angrily.

"Ms. Ye, from now on Xiufang will no longer accept first-class embroidered handkerchiefs, but second-class and third-class embroidered handkerchiefs can still be accepted."

Shopkeeper Li knew that she was in the wrong, but the embroidery made by Ye Mu was clever, and many ladies in the town liked her handkerchiefs, so she still wanted to keep Ye Mu's.

"Since you won't accept the veil, I will take it back first. Qingqing, your veil..."

"I won't sell my handkerchiefs to them either. Let's go to other embroidery workshops."

Before Ye Mu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ye Qingqing, who angrily pulled Ye Mu out of the embroidery workshop.

Ye Mu took Ye Qingqing to the cloth shop next door, wanting to ask shopkeeper Wang about the Yang Family Embroidery Workshop.

"Mrs. Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you just been to the Yang Family Xiufang? The Yang Family Xiufang had a new shopkeeper some time ago." Shopkeeper Wang saw the God of Wealth entering the door and hurried forward to greet him.

"I just came out of the Yang Family Xiufang. I said that I won't accept first-class handkerchiefs from now on. Why don't I come here quickly and ask you about the background of this shopkeeper Li?"

When Shopkeeper Wang heard that Ye Mu said that she would no longer accept her embroidery, Shopkeeper Wang seemed to have been drained of energy and suddenly became depressed.

"Shopkeeper Yang's daughter-in-law gave birth to twin boys last month. The daughter-in-law couldn't take care of them alone, so shopkeeper Yang quit her job to take care of her children. Mrs. Yang, the owner of the embroidery workshop, hired her niece to be the shopkeeper. "

"Shopkeeper Li must have thought that the gold silk handkerchief you made was expensive and profitable. At such a young age, he has his eyes on the pile of money."

Shopkeeper Wang felt heartbroken when he thought that Ye Mu might not come here to buy gold thread anymore.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I won't buy the gold thread now. I'll go to other embroidery workshops to have a look."

Having almost learned about the embroidery workshop, Ye Mu got up and left. She wanted to quickly go to other embroidery workshops. These handkerchiefs cost more than a tael of silver, so she couldn't afford to throw them away.

Ye Mu has been to the other three embroidery workshops in the town and accepted them, but the prices they gave were extremely low. The two larger embroidery shops both gave 150 yuan for a handkerchief, but the smaller one actually only gave 130 yuan for a handkerchief.

The cost of a handkerchief alone was 100 Wen, and it took Ye Mu three days to embroider a handkerchief. Ye Mu was unwilling to sell it at a low price, and finally went back with Ye Qingqing dejectedly.
