Chapter 179： sell embroidery

   Director Zhu, who ran over, heard it and hurriedly said, "Miss Mu, it's already noon. Anyway, I had lunch here, and the general will be back soon."

Mu Yangling shook his head, "I have to go to the embroidery workshop, and I have to rush back before the evening. There must be no more delay. I wish the manager don't be too polite."

Seeing that Mu Yangling raised his feet, Manager Zhu was about to leave, so he hurriedly ordered someone to take some food from the kitchen and put it in her hand, and sent her out: "Then you take these to fill your stomach, and you must remember to come over when you come to Fucheng in the future. Sit down at the General's Mansion."

Director Zhu knew that the three masters of the Qi family treated this girl a little differently, so he did not dare to neglect her.

When Qi Xiuyuan came back, Director Zhu reported on Mu Yangling and asked, "Young Master, that little wild boar is still alive, what do you want to eat?"

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "It's rare, save it for now. I'll invite a few people to come and taste it at night. By the way, Mrs. Qin's birthday, you have prepared the birthday gift, and then I will take Haoran Zijin to celebrate the birthday together."

The mother's surname was Qin, and she followed the envoy to take office, but the envoy's wife and children were kept in the capital as hostages. This shows the filial piety of the envoy to his mother, so Qi Xiuyuan was very concerned about this matter. focus on.

Manager Zhu was worried, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days, but I haven't been able to find anything suitable. That Mrs. Qin is from the south and likes elegant and delicate things, but I can find some in Xingzhou Prefecture. Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum or precious fur are fine, where can I find this elegant and delicate thing?"

Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help but pause for a moment, and finally waved his hand: "If you can't find Xingzhou Mansion, go to Xingyuan Mansion to have a look. It's still a month away, look for it slowly."

Director Zhu responded, and asked again, "Isn't this little wild boar waiting for the fourth son and the cousin to come back? The fourth son must like to eat this thing."

Qi Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Do you think he will? Since A Ling has given it to me, he lives in the vicinity, and he will definitely not be less than us."

Director Zhu noticed that the eldest son had changed the title of Mu Yangling, and could not help but secretly rejoice that he was polite and warm to Mu Yangling just now.

And Mu Yangling, who was out of the house, went straight to Jinxiufang. Last time, she had asked the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang. He gave an estimate of about 100 vehicles. Mu Yangling felt that it was okay, at least it was not much different from what her mother said. It can be discussed. .

But this time the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang has changed.

Mu Yangling looked at him curiously for a while, but didn't ask where the previous shopkeeper went. After all, no one knew whether this shopkeeper had a conflict with the previous one.

The shopkeeper looked at the unfolded embroidery for a while, put the item on the counter, and said to Mu Yangling: "This is a good item, and the embroidery is also superb. Well, I'll give you twenty taels, how about it?"

Mu Yangling's eyes widened, and the shopkeeper thought she was shocked, after all, twenty taels of silver was a lot of money in this backcountry.

Who knew that Mu Yangling shouted, "Twenty taels? Are you sure you're right, the shopkeeper? Isn't it two hundred taels?"

The shopkeeper's face froze, and he slapped his sleeves and said, "Girl, are you kidding me? What embroidery is worth two hundred taels of silver? Are you crazy about money?"

Mu Yangling looked him up and down, stepped forward and carefully put away the embroidery before turning around and leaving.

The shopkeeper's complexion was slightly blue. He knew that he had met someone who knew the market. He thought she was a little girl who didn't understand anything. Who knows...

The shopkeeper saw that she was about to go out, so he stopped her aloud: "Wait a minute, girl, since you are not satisfied with 22 taels, then we can increase the price a little bit more."

Mu Yangling turned his head and said, "The shopkeeper loves to joke with me. My mother's embroidery is double-sided embroidery, not to mention adding a little bit to the top. Even if you take a big step forward, I can't sell it so cheaply. , will you give me an honest price? If not, I'll go find the next house."

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay fifty taels, how about it? It's more than 10 taels more than double the previous price."

Mu Yangling pouted and asked, "Then do you know how much the previous shopkeeper paid me?" At this time, Mu Yangling didn't care whether he would offend him or not. This person is too wicked to do business. , Mu Yangling decided that there is no need to deal with them in the future.

The shopkeeper's face turned blue, he looked at Mu Yangling up and down, and snorted coldly: "Little girl, the shopkeeper in front was fired by the owner because he did something wrong, and the price he paid you may not be right. , these fifty taels are quite a lot, and you don’t want to look at what kind of land this is? Manxing Prefecture, who would use this kind of elegant and unique screen? It is still unknown whether it can be sold after it is framed.”

"Two hundred taels may be sold in the south," the shopkeeper said. "But that's also framed. Do you know how much it costs to frame this screen? You have to use good wood, but how much is good wood? How much does it cost to sell a tael, how much wood does such a big screen need?"

Mu Yangling sneered, "Don't lie to me, the shopkeeper, I am young, but I am knowledgeable. Before I came, my mother and I specially mentioned that this embroidery must not be less than one hundred and fifty taels. The frame, even if it is only sent to Xingyuan Mansion, it will not be a problem to sell it for five hundred taels of silver. In Xingzhou Mansion, 300 taels will not be less, and your wood will be worth the sky and your craftsmanship will definitely not be lower than that. Fifty taels, you can use sandalwood, but can you buy it?"

The shopkeeper's face turned dark immediately. If it was another businessman, I'm afraid he would be soft immediately, but the shopkeeper was obviously not as smooth as a businessman, so he immediately threw his sleeves and said, "If you don't want to sell it, just leave."

Mu Yangling, who wanted to buy embroidery thread, didn't want to buy it here either, so he turned around and left.

Xingzhou Prefecture did not know about an embroidery workshop in Jinxiufang.

But the other embroidery workshops are not as big as the Jinxiu workshop, so the confidence is slightly insufficient, and the highest bid is only 80 taels.

In the past, Mu Yangling might have calculated that it was the difference between 80 yuan and 100 yuan, but now, she will calculate that 22 taels is enough for Bowen to go to school for two years without any worries, and enough for him to eat four Food supplements for the month, or enough for Bosco Jia to grow to three years old...

In short, these twenty-two are absolutely indispensable.

Mu Yangling bought embroidery thread in an embroidery workshop and went home with the embroidery.

When Mu Yangling returned home, Xiuhong had followed her instructions and called Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin over. Shu Wanniang was cooking dinner in the kitchen. Qi Haoran played with several children in the yard. What amused Kejia, so that Mu Yangling heard Kejia's angry "Aah" cry from afar.

Fan Zijin was standing in the back and asked his aunt some questions, but did not notice that Mu Yangling was back.

On the other hand, Qi Haoran heard the sound of the scooter and met Mu Yangling's angry eyes as soon as he raised his head, Qi Haoran hurriedly lifted her sister up and put it away, put her hands behind her back, and said, "I didn't put her upside down. "
