Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

"Let me see..." The proprietress picked up a piece of embroidery, looked at it carefully, raised her head, and shook her head at Xia Ziyin.

"Little girl, don't blame me for speaking poorly. Your embroidery is a bit rough. Each embroidery is worth ten coins at most."

She stretched out a finger and said to Xia Ziyin.

"Ten texts?" Hearing what the proprietress said, Xia Ziyin's heart suddenly turned cold.

This embroidery took her at least several days of work, why is there only ten texts? She really couldn't believe that after so many days of hard work, the few embroideries in her hands were only worth fifty coins.

"Ma'am, you lied to me, right? These embroidery products are only worth ten yuan a piece?" Xia Xiaoju said just now, her embroidery has already been sold by Aunt Ji, and she still has fifty yuan a piece. Woolen cloth.

How come she only has ten coins?

"Little girl, I don't like to hear what you say, and you don't go out to inquire about it. I, Yan Susu, live in Nanshan Town, but I'm really famous. How could I lie to you?" Yan Susu patted chest, said to Xia Ziyin, and his complexion also turned ugly.

For these embroidery works, she gave ten cents, which are all very high, and even lied to her, does she have the skill?

"No, lady boss, I was just talking nonsense just now because I was in a hurry, so don't take it to heart." Seeing that the lady boss had put on a straight face because of her words, Xia Ziyin hurriedly laughed along with her.

"Look at what you girl said, how can I argue with you, a little girl?" Yan Susu gave her a blank look.

"Let me tell you the truth, these few embroidery works of yours, only these two are still eye-catching, and I can barely give you forty coins. I don’t even want to accept money.”

Xia Ziyin's face turned pale suddenly.

The two sheets that Yan Susu mentioned were worth forty renminbi, they were embroidered last year, but this year, in order to get a few more sheets out, she...

It turned out that this embroidery still needs to be careful in order to produce a good job.

"Miss Boss, look at these pieces of embroidery here. I'll sell them to you. I'll see if I can give them a higher price. I also want to buy some good embroidery thread and silk. Here you are..."

"I'm not a charity hall here. I don't have anything higher. You get what you pay for. Here are five pieces of embroidery, one hundred and ten Wen. As for embroidery silk and embroidery thread, little girl, look this way and want to buy them." Which one, you choose."

"Miss Boss, how do you sell this big brocade screen?" Xia Ziyin glanced at it casually, and immediately fell in love with the transparent cloud and mist gauze of the largest brocade screen. , there is water, flowers and grass.

She knew in her heart that if the painting was embroidered, it would cost one hundred taels, let alone fifty taels.

However, upon hearing Xia Ziyin's question, Yan Susu smiled coldly and glanced at Xia Ziyin with disdain.

"Little girl, I advise you to buy something real. This pair of embroidered screens is not something you can get your hands on."

The few pieces of embroidery in her hand are uneven, and she still wants to embroider this beautiful screen? Isn't this a daydream?

She was waiting for capable people to embroider this screen, and it wasn't for those incompetent to ruin it.

"This screen is the most difficult to embroider. It's different. It needs to be embroidered on both sides. Can you do it?" she asked.

"I..." Xia Ziyin's face flushed suddenly, she lowered her head in shame, and looked at the other small embroidered silks again.

She just asked casually just now, without any other meaning.

"Madam proprietress, if such a small embroidery is finished, how much money can you collect at most? I mean, the kind that is well embroidered." After a while, Xia Ziyin raised his head again and asked Yan Su. white.

"It depends on the embroidery. It used to be the best one. I even received half a tael of silver, but that person's eyesight is bad now, so he never came to sell embroidery again." Yan Susu said.

Half a tael of silver, Xia Ziyin's eyes lit up when he heard these four words.

She knew that what Yan Susu was talking about was Xia Beibei's grandmother, Sang Jinghong, who used to earn a lot of money by doing embroidery.

It's a pity that their grandparents and grandchildren were bullied a lot in the past. Sang Jinghong didn't dare to keep the money at home for too long, so she spent it on buying this and that for Xia Beibei.

If her embroidery can be sold for half a tael a piece, then she will pay off Xia Beibei's fifty taels, and it will be just around the corner.

"Miss Boss, how do you sell this embroidered silk? There is also embroidery thread. I have two taels of silver here, plus one hundred and ten Wen. Please match it for me. I..."

Xia Ziyin immediately made a decision and decided to buy these embroidered silks.

As long as she can be patient and embroider carefully, she won't believe it. Could it be that she can't even compare to Xia Xiaoju?

...

However, when Xia Ziyin came to Xia Beibei's stall with a bag of embroidery materials in her arms, she saw so many people surrounding Xia Beibei's stall, she instantly felt ill .

I was in such a hurry just now that I didn't even see what Xia Beibei was selling and why so many people could gather.

"Xiaoju, take out a few more silk flowers of this kind, and there are more of this kind." Xia Beibei didn't even say a few words to deal with, just handing the silk flowers to this person or that person.

"Situ Yulong, get out of my way!" Wu Shiqiu kicked away the man who said he wanted to help, but the more he helped, the more busy he was.

"Miss Shiqiu, as the saying goes, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands. You look like this, it's not good, it's not good." Situ Yulong bared his white teeth in pain, hurriedly covered the sore spot, and said to Wu Shiqiu.

"This girl is a woman. I haven't heard of novels, but is it difficult for a woman to raise a villain? Since she is a villain, what's wrong with this girl?" Wu Shiqiu didn't even look at him, and kept collecting money in his hand. and coins.

This man is simply sick, he came here early in the morning, and he is familiar with them as if he is some kind of relative, who is he, do they know him?

"Pfft..." The two friends beside Situ Yulong were overwhelmed by Wu Shiqiu's divine reply.

Seeing their good friend Situ Yulong so devastated was the greatest joy in life, especially, they had a premonition that Situ Yulong would really fall into the hands of this girl named Wu Shiqiu this time.

"Why are there so many today? It's just... Miss Nine, will we sell out of the goods in one morning?"

"Sell it as soon as it's sold out. Anyway, when these are sold out, I won't have much left." Xia Beibei replied.

It would be best to sell it out today, so she won't use it tomorrow. She can quickly calculate the land that needs to be planted at home, reclaim it, and plant food.

However, as soon as her words fell, the people in front of her went crazy.

"Little boss, I'll take these three silk flowers, and I'll give you a tael of silver."

"Little boss, what is the price of this joint knot, let me tell you quickly." Those who were still hesitating and didn't know which one to buy, immediately held what they had in their hands and refused to let go.

Xia Beibei: "..."

In fact, she still has a lot in her house, okay, I have been doing it for a whole winter, but I can't let go of the land in the house, so I don't want to come here again, there is nothing wrong with that, right?

But after thinking about it, she hurried to collect the money.

"Jiu Niang, I'm here." Xia Ziyin hurried over, seeing Xia Xiaoju and Wu Shiqiu wearing beautiful silk flowers on their heads, their eyes were scarlet.

But soon, she covered it up very well.

"Ziyin? Are you done? Then hurry up and help me." Hearing her voice, Xia Beibei just raised her head and glanced at her, before being distracted by the constant inquiries.

Xia Ziyin's eyes flashed, she put her things aside, and began to help the people at the stall.

However, she who doesn't understand anything is not as good as that Situ Yulong who came to watch early in the morning, and she can only help to carry things.

The most unacceptable thing for her is that Xia Beibei's things can be sold for such a good price, which is the least amount of ten or twenty.

She was so jealous, why Xia Beibei didn't teach her how to make these silk flowers, but hid in the room and made them by herself, she was obviously afraid that she would learn and make money, and be inferior to her, right?

When it was lunch time, Situ Yulong saw that they were still busy, so he winked at his two brothers, and the three left.

"It's finally gone. Standing is really an eyesore." Wu Shiqiu couldn't help muttering.

These three people simply came here to serve as wooden stakes, and they also took up a lot of space.

After a while, those rushing to buy finally had almost left, Xia Beibei and the others had a chance to catch their breath.

"Where do these people come from? Are they all from the town?" Xia Beibei asked suspiciously.

Just kidding, although Nanshan Town is big, how come there are so many young girls who are not willing to spend money?

"Miss Nine, this is the money I collected today." Wu Shiqiu poured all the money in his arms onto the bullock cart. Although it was all scattered money, it looked like there was a lot of it.

"Sister Jiuniang, I have this too." Xia Xiaoju hurried over.

Xia Ziyin narrowed his eyes, seeing so much silver on the bullock cart, he almost wanted to take it and hold it in his arms.

If this winter, Xia Beibei was willing to teach herself how to make this silk flower and the sympathetic knot, how could she have ended up in this situation, not only being sold by her father, but also watching Xia Beibei and Wu Shiqing and their sisters here. Wink.

What's more, Wu Shiqiu snatched the money she wanted to collect just now. Why, was she afraid that she would hide it secretly?

"Jiu Niang, you can make a lot of money with silk flowers." Song Ji and Grandma Xin didn't have any business at the moment, so they walked over and said to Xia Beibei with a smile.
