Unexpectedly transmigrating into the body of a chubby farm girl, what? This fat girl is already married? And she has a stepson? Xie Yunjiao feels that she must have blown up the Milky Way in her pr...
"Manager He, I'll give you face." The little girl snorted coldly and glanced at Xie Yunjiao coldly with an unfriendly look on her face.
"Miss Lai, this way please."
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lai Yinfang got her favorite jewelry and was in a good mood, otherwise there would be trouble.
Your surname is Lai?
When Zhong Huaishuang heard this surname, her pupils shrank.
She thought of Lai Junfang.
Xie Yunjiao also thought of it. Now that she thinks about it, it’s no wonder that she feels Lai Yinfang looks familiar. It turns out that she looks like Lai Junfang!
Both of the Lai family members are not easy to get along with, and they are well-known throughout Qinghe Town!
Even if Xie Yunjiao had never met Lai Yinfang, she knew that she was a hot-tempered person who would never give in even if she was right. Provoking her would only lead to trouble.
It’s not that she can’t afford to offend him, but she just doesn’t want to offend him, otherwise she doesn’t know when she will be able to leave.
"Boss, I will bring the blueprints to you tomorrow to make it. When can I get them?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
"It depends on how complicated the drawings you provide are. If they are more complicated, it will take a long time." said the shopkeeper.
"How long will it take at the shortest? Seven or eight days, is that okay?"
"Seven or eight days? That won't work. We can't do that. In addition to receiving drawings from customers, our craftsmen also need to create drawings for the store. It won't be that fast. You have to wait at least half a month." said the shopkeeper.
Half a month? The party was over long ago!
"Can't it be faster?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
"It can't be fast. We have too much work. Please forgive me, young lady," said the shopkeeper.
"Forget it, we'll come to you next time we have the chance."
Xie Yunjiao took Zhong Huaishuang away.
Lai Yinfang's maid watched them leave and hurriedly said to Lai Yinfang, "Miss, this Ruyifang is already the best jewelry store in Qinghe Town.
They left without paying, so maybe they couldn't afford to pay."
The maid's words hit the mark of Lai Yinfang. Lai Yinfang smiled smugly: "Why bother with such people? They are just poor bastards."
She had never seen Xie Yunjiao and Zhong Huaishuang at those banquets of young ladies from aristocratic families. She was sure that their backgrounds must not be very good.
She played with the jewelry in her hands, feeling very proud.
She could already imagine how she would look when her cousin hosted a party, dressed beautifully and stealing the show.
"Fortunately, I am in a good mood today, otherwise I would not let them go so easily." Lai Yinfang said.
Xie Yunjiao and Zhong Huaishuang left Ruyifang and wandered around the street again. Finally, she found a very small jewelry store. There was no one there, and the person inside was sleeping on the table out of boredom.
Xie Yunjiao went in and knocked on the table, and the man woke up in a daze.
Seeing Xie Yunjiao, his face lit up with joy: "Sir, do you want to make jewelry?"
"Yes, but I have to ask first, how long does it take to get the jewelry made in your house?"
The man was honest: "As you can see, our workshop doesn't have many customers. If you really want it, we can rush it and it will be ready in two or three days at most."
"Two or three days? That's fine," Xie Yunjiao thought to herself, she had made the right choice. This was exactly the kind of efficiency she wanted. "But I have to make it clear first, if I'm not satisfied with the work, I won't accept it."
"Don't worry, young lady. My father is an old craftsman. His workmanship is amazing. He will definitely not let you down."
"Didn't you do it?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
"I'm not good enough to do anything with a customer's things." The man smiled awkwardly. "Let me show you some jewelry my father made. You'll definitely like it."
The man carefully took out a few finished products and showed them to Xie Yunjiao.
Although the style is a bit old, the craftsmanship is really good.
"Your craftsmanship is great. Why don't you work in a big jewelry store? It wouldn't be easy to open your own shop, right?"
"It's not easy, but we have no choice." The man showed a sad expression on his face. "My mother is sick and needs to rest in bed. We have to take care of her. If I work in the jewelry store, I won't be able to take care of her at any time."
The man felt that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly said, "But don't worry, we will definitely do what we promised you."
Someone who values family so much should be good at doing things.
Xie Yunjiao said that she would give them the design drawings tomorrow, and the man agreed.
After she went out, she looked at the plaque of the jewelry store again. It was just a wooden sign with the words written on it by herself.
The writing is pretty good though.
"Lanxinfang."
Xie Yunjiao silently memorized the name of the jewelry store.
After sending Zhong Huaishuang home, Xie Yunjiao went back to Yuemanlou to work without stopping. She did not go back to the backyard to rest until Yuemanlou closed.
She has asked Uncle Niu to pass a message to her family, saying that she will be busy these days and cannot find time to go home.
Although she didn't go home, she asked Uncle Niu to send the newly bought sesame cakes to her home.
Because she was afraid that Gu Huai and Ye Baien were the only two men at home, and they had to take care of the children and would not be able to cook.
After Xie Yunjiao entered the house, she began to design the jewelry drawings.
She has a background in fine arts, and her hobby is jewelry design. She even spent money to study abroad.
Her usual pastime is to read magazines about jewelry design, but she didn't expect that this time it would come in handy.
The name of Lanxinfang gave her inspiration, and she designed a set of camellia-related jewelry for Zhong Huaishuang based on her temperament.
The orchid she designed is not a flat camellia in the traditional sense, but a camellia composed of petals, which is exquisite and unique.
When she handed the blueprint to the man from Lanxinfang, he was deeply attracted by it and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Dad, come out and take a look!" the man shouted.
The old craftsman thought something had happened and rushed out of the house.
The man stuffed Xie Yunjiao's design into the old craftsman's hands and said, "Dad, look, this is so beautiful!"
The old craftsman has been making jewelry for most of his life and has seen all kinds of jewelry.
He thought his son was exaggerating.
But when he saw the drawings clearly, he no longer dared to be careless.
"Such a detailed and beautiful blueprint was really given to us to create?" The old craftsman was a little incredulous. "Where is the customer? I want to talk to him."
"Hello, Master. I am the owner of these blueprints. I have only two requirements. First, you must make these pieces of jewelry within the time I specify. Second, you cannot use my blueprints without my consent."
"We can agree to your second request right now, but we may not be able to do the first one because the design is too complicated. This is our first time doing it, and we may not be able to complete it within the time you specified," said the old craftsman.
"He said it can be done in two or three days." Xie Yunjiao looked at the old craftsman's son.
The old craftsman's son said innocently: "I didn't know it was such a complicated design."
If he had known that Xie Yunjiao would come up with such a complicated and sophisticated blueprint, he would definitely not have promised Xie Yunjiao yesterday that it would be done in two or three days.
