Chapter 93 Making Velvet Flowers
Erniu was also laughing, and the Qian family's doorman smiled at each other without saying anything.
"Take me to the embroidery workshop first. I want to buy some silk thread." Yu Banxia stepped on the step stool and got on the mule cart, and said to Erniu.
Erniu responded quickly, and a doorman ran over and put the step stool behind.
"Thank you." Erniu thanked him.
The concierge scratched his head cheerfully: "You're welcome."
"Girl, let's go." Erniu got in the car and said to Yu Banxia.
Yu Banxia opened the car window and said to the doorman, "Tell mom I'll come back tomorrow morning."
"yes."
The mule cart drove towards the central street, crossed three streets, and finally stopped in front of the largest embroidery workshop in the town.
"Wait here for a while." Yu Banxia said to Erniu.
Erniu responded, and Yu Banxia walked into the shop.
There were several women selecting embroidery items in the shop. The shopkeeper was a woman in her early thirties. She was pretty with fair skin and it was obvious that she had used products from Yuejirong.
"Miss Yu, what do you need?" The shopkeeper came forward happily.
Yu Banxia is now considered a celebrity in the town. Yu Banxia smiled and said what she wanted.
The shopkeeper had to call a waiter to get the things Yu Banxia wanted. After a few words, all the things were there.
"All the girls are here." The shopkeeper checked again and saw that they were all of the best quality, so he handed the things to Yu Banxia.
Yu Banxia checked it and found no problem, so she asked, "Manager Yao, how much is the total money?"
"Miss Yu, you slapped me in the face, this little thing is worth nothing. If it weren't for you, my mother-in-law's illness would never have improved."
"Can I still ask you for money for this little thing?"
"This is not good. You are also running a business. How can I take your things for free?" Yu Banxia waved his hands quickly.
But Manager Yao insisted and refused to take it: "Miss Yu, you listen to me. This time it's mine, and next time I will charge the normal price."
Seeing that she really didn't want it, Yu Banxia nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll use these things to make a little toy for you to play with."
Shopkeeper Yao wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much, Miss Yu."
"Then we don't have to be polite. I'll take the things." Yu Banxia took the things and left the shop directly.
After she got in the car, Erniu asked where they were going.
"Go home!"
"Okay." Erniu responded and drove the mule cart towards Anping Village.
Half an hour later, the mule cart returned to Anping Village.
"Hey, Xia Xia is back. You've worked hard these past few days. Many people have come to your house these days to express their gratitude to you."
An aunt came out to pour water and happened to see Yu Banxia getting off the car with something in her arms, so she smiled and said to her.
Yu Banxia asked curiously, "Is it okay to disturb everyone's work?"
"No, no." Auntie waved her hands quickly.
After entering the yard, she went to the kitchen first and saw her family and everyone making snacks together. After greeting everyone, she went straight to the thatched cottage.
As soon as she sat down, put the wooden frame in place and hung a silk thread on it, Yu Banyue brought her small tea table.
Yu Bandao also brought over two plates of snacks, put down the food, and sat aside to watch her.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to embroider a handkerchief? Tell me what pattern you want and I'll make it for you later." Yu Bandao reached out and touched the silk thread, saying with a smile.
Yu Banxia shook her head: "It's not embroidering a handkerchief, it's making some small things, the two sisters will know when the time comes."
"Do you need help?" Yu Banyue asked.
"We really need to split up. Is sister free?" Yu Banxia asked coquettishly.
Yu Banyue smiled at Yu Bantao: "Lazy girl."
"Okay, Yueyue and I will help you divide the lines." Yu Bandao said lovingly.
As he spoke, he and Yu Banyue each took a bundle of silk and sat aside to separate the threads, while he chatted with her about the free clinic in the past few days.
Yu Banxia also took a bunch and distributed them while recounting what had happened in the past few days.
When the two sisters heard that Xu Xiucai dared to come to their house to cause trouble, they immediately raised their heads in anger and said, "How shameless he is to dare to cause trouble to you."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's been completely resolved this time. He will never dare to come near me again." Yu Banxia hurriedly comforted.
Then she told him that she had taken thirty-three taels from Cheng Da, and the two sisters felt relieved instantly when they heard it.
Yu Banxia took out a large rectangular and a long wooden board, as well as a wooden bristle brush.
The Yu Bandao sisters looked at her in confusion, and saw her fasten the two colored silk threads onto a long stick respectively, and then fixed it on a wooden board.
Then they picked up the bristle brush to brush the silk threads, and the more they looked, the more confused they became.
"What are you doing?" Yu Bandao was really curious.
"I'll make some velvet flower hairpins for you to wear." Yu Banxia smiled. The two sisters were full of questions. What are velvet flower hairpins?
Although puzzled, he still sat quietly aside and separated the silk threads.
As Yu Banxia moved, the silk thread was combed. I don't know what she used to fix the velvet, then she cut it into strips, and then trimmed it, and slowly it turned into petals.
She also used a stainless steel kettle to flatten the petals covered with hairspray before styling them.
By lunch time, Yu Banxia had already prepared several finished flowers.
There are chubby velvet flowers, and there are also velvet flowers that are flattened with hairspray and then shaped to look like real flowers.
"Oh, what is this? Are they real flowers picked to make hairpins?" Zhao saw the three sisters busying themselves with something and came over to take a look.
I saw the finished hairpin inserted on the wooden board at a glance, picked up a peony flower, smelled it, and a fragrance spread out.
That's the smell of hairspray.
"This is the velvet flower that Xia Xia just made using these silk threads." Yu Bandao introduced to Zhao.
"Don't be ridiculous. How can this silk thread be made into petals?" Zhao didn't quite believe it.
Yu Bandao nodded seriously: "It is really made of silk thread."
"Ah? Really? Our Xia Xia is really smart. She can actually make such a beautiful hairpin. It looks just like the real thing."
"Who said it wasn't? It's really beautiful." The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of other people.
However, the aunts and sisters-in-law knew the etiquette and did not all rush in.
"Xia Xia, please make one for me later. Your sister Yun Xing is about to get married. I'll give you whatever price you want." Yun Xing's mother said embarrassedly.
Yu Banxia quickly responded when she heard this: "Okay, I don't need your money. I will dress up Sister Yun Xing and I guarantee that young man will be fascinated by her."
After hearing Yu Banxia's words, Yun Xingniang instantly laughed happily.
It seemed that he was very satisfied with his future son-in-law. A few young wives asked shyly how to do this and whether he could teach them.
"My dear sisters-in-law, I can't leave this to you. After all, you are now the masters in the dim sum workshop."
"Don't worry, I'm going to give this velvet flower to a young girl to make. First, it will give everyone a skill in the future, and second, it can also help supplement the family income."
"Ah? Really?" Everyone suddenly became happy.
