Tricks

On the first day of August, shopkeeper Li and his family left Jiangjiaba.

A large ship filled with everything the Li family had in Jiangjiaba for ten years.

The sisters of the Li family probably won't come back for three or two years after leaving Jiangjiaba. Shopkeeper Li's wife wants to show off her two daughters of the right age in Yangzhou. The other two little girls are not too young either.

Prepared in advance.

What the Lu family gave to Shopkeeper Li were dry goods pickled at home, as well as a stack of flowers painted by Lu Shege.

There were two baskets full of things, some of which were prepared by the Lu family and also had the wishes of other families in Ye Pier.

The etiquette was light but the affection was heavy. Shopkeeper Li warmly received Lu Quan and his son. Shopkeeper Li's wife even specially asked Lu Sheige to come in to talk.

When the four sisters from the Li family saw the flowers sent by the Lu family, the eyes of the third girl from the Li family, who were originally a little unhappy because Lu Xiaosi was called aboard by her mother, all lit up.

"Eldest sister and second sister, look at the flowers. I have never seen such beautiful flowers!"

Miss Li quickly looked over and said, "Isn't this a trick bought from the capital?"

Miss Li Er shook her head: "Definitely not. This paper looks like the cheapest kind in Dong's bookstore. It would be a waste to use it to draw such patterns!"

Seeing that each of the three sisters couldn't put it down with a pattern in their hand, the fourth girl from the Li family opened another customized book.

With just one glance, Miss Li Si's big eyes immediately widened, and even her little mouth opened slightly, and she exclaimed in disbelief: "This dress looks so beautiful."

"What?"

When Miss Li San heard that there were still clothes, she immediately squeezed over and said, "My dear mother, I'm afraid this dress is not worn by the fairy sister!"

The four girls of the Li family have been learning embroidery from their mother-in-law since they were young. Not to mention the three sisters, even the four girls of the Li family can cut and sew a set of clothes by themselves at a young age.

It was extremely rare for the four sisters to have such beautiful patterns and dresses. When they saw the fourth child of the Lu family getting off the boat, they were busy looking for their own mother to show off.

Shopkeeper Li's wife has been staying with Shopkeeper Li in Jiangjiaba for several years, and she is not a woman who stays out of the house.

Looking at the ten patterns of flowers and dresses spread out in front of her, Shopkeeper Li's wife had a thought in her mind.

She still has some dowry in hand, and she also bought two small shops in Yangzhou two years ago.

If she opens a ready-made clothing shop in Yangzhou with these patterns and dresses, and then hires embroiderers to embroider these dresses with these beautiful patterns, one new dress style will be produced a month. These ten pictures

The styles of dresses and ten patterns are enough to last her a year and a half.

With the new look that has been achieved in the past year and a half, we will definitely be able to do business in the clothing store.

After Shopkeeper Li sent the Lu family and his son off the boat and returned, he was called back to the boat room where they were resting by his wife and daughter.

After hearing his wife and daughter's thoughts, Shopkeeper Li felt his heart skip a beat.

What did Lu Xiaosi say when he gave him these two crudely sewn notebooks?

Yes, he said that these two books, one in the form of flowers and the other in the form of dresses, were given to the sisters of the Li family.

At that time, he didn't care about the patterns and the appearance of the clothes. Now that he looks at them, he doesn't think Lu Xiaosi's words have much meaning!

"What's the meaning?"

Shopkeeper Li's wife saw that Shopkeeper Li stopped talking mid-sentence, and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the pattern and dress were painted by the fourth child of the Lu family?"

Shopkeeper Li twirled his short beard: "It was probably painted by Lu Xiaosi. He also said at the time that the pattern was not very fancy, but the dress could never change without adding a skirt and a few lines.

The sides, or the collar, should be made higher or lower. Also..."

"What else?" Shopkeeper Li's wife asked anxiously.

She has been very handy since she was a child and has been working with her mother in an embroidery shop since she was a child. Although she was a child, she also learned some crafts from several masters.

Whether it's tailoring or embroidery, she can do it all.

Later, because I got older and talked about my husband's family, I didn't go to the embroidery village to work.

If she wants to go back to Yangzhou and open a ready-made clothing shop, it is not impossible to find the help of those aunts from the embroidery shop back then.

Even if those aunts had poor eyesight like her mother, there would always be daughters-in-law at home.

As long as she wants to open a ready-made clothing store, there is such a way, and craftsmen who can embroider and make clothes will not have to worry.

Today, shopkeeper Li is leaving Jiangjiaba. In addition to the Lu family and his son, there are other shopkeepers who have opened shops in Jiangjiaba to see him off.

He actually didn't say a few words to the Lu family and his son, and because others were around, he was inevitably distracted when talking.

When asked by his wife, shopkeeper Li couldn't remember what else Lu Xiaosi said.

When he sat down, he looked through the clothes that Lu Xiaosi had sent and picked up a picture of an eight-piece skirt, then he reluctantly remembered what Lu Xiaosi said at that time.

"He also said that the current skirts are made of two pieces and four pieces, and the style is a bit too dignified. It is better to change it to eight pieces and twelve pieces. Although it is more cumbersome to make, the skirts can be spread out and stacked one on top of the other.

It looks like a blooming flower, how can it not be beautiful?"

Shopkeeper Li's wife looked at the eight-piece skirt in her hand in disbelief, and then imagined the twelve-piece skirt in her mind. For a moment, she thought she was not smart enough to even make these eight-piece skirts look beautiful.

It's unimaginable what it will look like.

There is also the twelve-piece skirt mentioned by the Lu family’s mistress. It is simply the dress that the daughter said can only be worn by fairies!

With the looks of the dresses given by Lu Xiaosi, the Li family members no longer feel depressed when they are working on boats.

Shopkeeper Li's wife excitedly went to the cabin where the gifts were kept, and asked Shopkeeper Li to dig out some of the boxes she had packed, found the fabric she liked, and started cutting it.

She wanted to make these eight pieces of skirt for her first skirt. She wanted to see what the skirts worn by fairies looked like.

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw his wife and daughter twirling around the two books and dresses, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to them.

This woman, no matter her age, has no resistance to beautiful dresses.

When shopkeeper Li found out that his wife wanted to use the dowry money he had saved for his daughters to open a ready-made clothing store in Yangzhou, he not only did not object, but he happily gave half of the money from selling Zhuangzi.

"Since you and I are both going to open a shop, let's give each of us half of the money. Let's see whether your tailor shop makes more money, madam, or my small restaurant has better business."

"What if I earn more than you?" Shopkeeper Li's wife asked with a smile.

Shopkeeper Li promised: "From now on, the money earned by this family will be under the control of my wife."

The young girl on the side said hurriedly: "Dad, isn't our family's money always under the control of our mother?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li couldn't help laughing: "The reason why I said this is because I want your mother to lose so that I can return the power of the business to your father!"
