Before the young master left, Situ Xi asked him to dismiss the crowd of onlookers. Soon there were only three members of his family left in front of the stall, which was now a little more spacious.

"Thank you, sir, for rescuing us."

The two sisters thanked each other very clearly and neatly, and their voices were also very similar.

"What do you call a girl?"

"The little girl's surname is Su and her name is He Luo, and the little sister's name is He Jiu." Su Heluo did not hesitate and directly told Situ Xi their names.

Seeing that Situ Xi was accompanied by such a beautiful maid when traveling and the female companion who covered his face but had an excellent temperament beside him, naturally he knew that he was different from the previous one.

"Miss Su, are all these embroideries done by your own hands?"

After walking into the stall, Situ Xi could clearly see the various purses, handkerchiefs, sachets and other items placed on the table. They were all embroidered with extremely exquisite and elegant patterns, mostly flowers and leaves, with extremely fine silk threads.

, it can be seen that the craftsmanship of this maker is excellent.

"Yes, sir, these were all sewn recently."

The style of this embroidery is very similar to Su embroidery in previous lives, and these extremely exquisite lines and various elegant floral patterns reminded Situ Xi of the "Hui Embroidery" mentioned in "A Dream of Red Mansions", or should be said to be "Hui Embroidery".

"Pattern" is correct. The embroidery skills of these two sisters should be top-notch.

He reached out and picked up a light cyan purse from the table, with the word "Xie Xin" elegantly embroidered on it.

"What do you think, Madam?" Situ Xi handed the purse to Zhong Limin.

At home, Zhong Limin often makes some simple embroidery. Of course she knows more about this kind of embroidery than Situ Xi does.

"This craftsmanship is better than the famous ones I have seen before." Zhongli rubbed his hands gently on the pattern of the purse.

Nodding, Situ Xi looked up at Su Heluo, took out some money from his pocket and placed it lightly on the table.

"Miss Su, can you demonstrate your embroidery skills for me?"

"Sir, you just helped us. We must never accept this money." Su Heluo saw the pieces of silver on the table and quickly reached out to return them to Situ Xi, and then immediately said: "This process is actually a little bit complicated.

It's boring, I will demonstrate it for you."

Su Heluo took out a bundle of extremely fine silk threads from a small wooden box. Su Heluo threaded the needle with silk and was very comfortable. Then she picked up a piece of moon-white ground cloth. With the cooperation of her hands, she moved the needle and threaded it, and soon it was on the cloth.

Embroider a neat long pattern.

"That's it." Situ Xi interrupted her, and her fingers stopped flying, "Miss Su's craftsmanship is truly extraordinary."

"Young master, you are too praised." Su Heluo shook his head slowly.

Turning to look at Situ Xi's side face, Zhongli was a little curious as to why his husband was so concerned about these female celebrities today.

"Miss Su, I would like to ask you to help me embroider something, but the thread may be a little different from what you have used before. I wonder if you two can try it?"

"The wires are different?"

After listening to Situ Xi's words, sisters Su Heluo and Su Hejiu looked at each other in surprise. They had been learning needlepoint for a long time. During this period, they used a wide variety of silks, satins, cottons and linens. Almost all the embroidery threads on the market were

Have you ever used it? What are the different wires that the young man in front of you is talking about?

"Have you two girls ever heard of Mo Xiu?"

"This... I have never heard of it." The Su sisters were a little confused.

"Uncle, what is 'ink embroidery'?" Qingyu also asked curiously.

Not in a hurry to answer Qingyu's question, Situ Xi smiled at Zhongli, then looked at the two sisters surnamed Su and said, "Is it difficult for you to use hair as embroidery thread?"

Zhongli on the side suddenly felt startled.

"With hair?" Su Heluo was also stunned, but Su Hejiu's eyes lit up, "Sister, the hair is thin and shiny, it is indeed a good wire."

"But……"

"The materials are provided by us."

After hearing Situ Xi's words, Zhongli was shocked and understood completely. She raised her head and looked at him. She gently licked her thin lips without any lipstick, and wanted to reach out and touch Situ Xi's.

The sleeves, but stopped in mid-air.

"Madam, I remember you told me before that this hair is the silk of love. In this case, you should treasure it well."

For Situ Xi, he happened to see two girls with such superb embroidery skills today. He also remembered the scene when Zhong Lixin had his hair cut when he first came here. He couldn't help but think of the hair book of later generations that originated from Buddhist believers expressing pious intentions.

The material and color of the embroidery and hair are of high quality and will hardly fade, making it a very good material.

"I see, sir, my little sister and I can give it a try, but this is our first time trying it, and I can't guarantee you the quality of the final product..." Su Heluo's eyes wandered between the two of them for a moment, with a little envy in his eyes.

"No problem, I will ask someone to bring you the materials at noon." Situ Xi waved his hand and asked them to try it boldly. Then he thought about it, looked at Zhongli and said, "Have you thought about what pattern you want to embroider?

"

"Ah... then, let's embroider a pair of birds." After saying this in a low voice, under the clear gauze of the curtain hat, two pale red clouds had already floated on her cheeks.

"Okay, Jiu'er, hurry up and write it down. Madam, do you still need to embroider some words?"

"Well..." Zhongli was embarrassed to speak again.

"There's no need to embroider the calligraphy anymore." Situ Xi said to finalize the matter, paid some deposit, and left his address.

…

"Top three?! My lord, could it be that I made a mistake? I haven't handed over all the prepared dishes yet. Isn't there a restaurant owner behind me who has not participated? How could it happen at this time?

Just got a ranking?"

Outside a luxurious restaurant on Lezhen Road, shopkeeper Zhang just saw the official in charge bring his third dish into a private room. After a while, the official came out of the cubicle with a smile on his face.

He walked out and informed him that he had won the top three places in this Spring Food Festival.

All this happened suddenly, or rather abruptly, which made him feel very unreal.

"How could I be wrong? Shopkeeper, you are lucky. The noble seems to like your pastries very much. He was full of praises just now and promised you the top three. Go back and wait. I will send out the cakes when the Spring Festival is over.

The reward will be entrusted to you."

"this……"

After receiving the adult's affirmative answer, shopkeeper Zhang was a little confused. He felt that all this was a bit of a joke. It felt weird, as if there was a shady plot...

Shaking his head, no matter what, this result was excellent for him. A proud smile immediately appeared on his face. It was indeed easy to enjoy the shade with his back against the big tree. This time, thanks to Miss Chen, he informed him of Li in advance.

In order to satisfy the preferences of the envoys of the country, he and his daughter were able to make careful preparations.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Zhang felt that the haze caused by the incident in the morning had dissipated a lot.
