After leaving the house, Daya said with lingering fear: "Sister, why didn't you sell it just now? Where should we go next?"

Li Yan shook her head. "The price offered by this shop is too low. I remember there seems to be an embroidery shop near the restaurant where my eldest cousin works. Let's go check it out together!"

After walking for another quarter of an hour, they arrived at Piaoxiang Tower.

The two were just about to go find an embroidery shop when they happened to meet their cousin who was bending down to see a customer off.

Li Jianmin, who had just seen off the guests, also noticed the two of them. He quickly walked up to them and asked, "Why are you in town?"

Daya said, "It's harvest time now, and Grandpa asked Erya and me to come to town and buy some pork."

Li Jianmin nodded when he heard this: "Then wait for me, I will take you to Zhu the Butcher, where I often go!"

Li Yan said, "Cousin, please go ahead and do your work. Sister Daya and I will go to the embroidery shop first!" Hearing this, Li Jianmin nodded and turned to go into the restaurant.

The two came to an embroidery building that was slightly smaller than the previous one. The flow of people here was obviously not as large as the previous one.

Before entering the house, the eldest cousin clasped her hands awkwardly and said, "Sister Erya, go in by yourself! Can I wait for you outside?"

Looking at her timid cousin, Li Yan nodded: "Then wait for me outside, I'll be out soon!"

Daya was obviously relieved and nodded in agreement.

As I walked into the shop, I saw a middle-aged woman with her hair tied up in a bun, skillfully cutting cloth. When she saw someone coming in, she quickly put down her work and asked, "What do you need, young lady?"

Li Yan also took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to the woman: "I wonder if the store will accept such a handkerchief."

The woman examined them carefully for a moment and said, "Yes, I will. The price is only twelve cents a piece."

Li Yan asked, "Is fifteen cents okay?"

The woman shook her head and said, "The material of your handkerchief is ordinary. Rich people won't appreciate it. I can only make a few cents if I buy it. If I sell it for more, I will lose money and make a profit!"

Li Yan understood and took out ten pieces of embroidery her mother had given her from the basket she carried with her.

The shopkeeper took the embroidery, flipped through it carefully, and nodded: "It's well embroidered. I'll take it all. If you have more like this, you can bring it to me." After that, he took out 120 copper coins from under the counter and handed them to Li Yan.

Li Yan took the money and said with a smile, "I see that most of the embroidery here is of flowers, birds, fish and insects. I wonder if the shopkeeper would be interested in seeing some new and unusual designs?"

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this and she quickly asked, "What kind of pattern is it?"

Li Yan took out a few pictures of her drawings of Rogue Rabbit, Peter Rabbit, and Blue Rabbit from the bottom of the basket. Some were sitting or lying down, and the novel images made the shopkeeper stunned!

Li Yan said, "We can embroider it on handkerchiefs, purses, headscarves, and belts. Rich men and women will definitely like it."

The shopkeeper took the pattern and looked at it carefully: "How many patterns like this do you have? I want them all!"

Li Yan said, "I only brought three samples with me. I wonder how much the store is asking?"

The middle-aged woman said, "My last name is Zhou, so you can just call me Aunt Zhou. I'm very interested in your tricks, but you know it's just for the sake of novelty. After a while, others will be able to imitate you!"

Li Yan said, "We are entering the market first. Aunt Zhou can use these three designs to test the waters. If they are good, we can discuss future cooperation."

Madam Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I'll buy these three paintings and give you three taels of silver. You can't sell them to anyone else!"
