Fortunately, God has mercy on the dying Chen Ming, who miraculously survived. He is a gentle man and a kind gentleman. He gave the poor Wang a place to rely on, and also gave the silly little Ah Fu a poor but warm home...
Chen Ahfu thought for a long time before she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already 3 p.m. She was the only one on the kang. Ah Lu was playing with Qiqi and Huihui in the yard. Everyone else, including Dabao, went to the front to sell braised skewers.
Everyone was busy until it was almost dark before they stopped working.
Chen Shi, who was selling braised skewers at the entrance of the Zeng Clan School, said that there were already two shops selling braised skewers at the entrance of the school. But almost all the students came to his shop to buy braised skewers, so the business of those two shops was not good at all.
In the evening, Wang and Chen Afu returned to the hut after finishing their work. Chen Afu took Wang's arm, put her head on her shoulder, and said what she had been thinking about for the whole afternoon, "Mother, I am so lucky to have you." This was said for herself and for the little Afu who had passed away.
Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently, "This child, even at this age, still acts like a spoiled child to his mother."
A'lu on the kang smiled with his lips pursed. Dabao slid down from the kang, ran over and hugged Wang's waist and said, "My mother acts like a spoiled child with grandma, so I want to act like a spoiled child with grandma too." He spoke so coquettishly that he couldn't even stretch out his tongue.
A-Lu on the kang laughed even harder, and Wang also laughed. They hugged each other and made a lot of noise for a while before going to bed to rest.
Chen Ahfu crawled into Wang's ear and whispered how much it was sold for. Wang was surprised and asked, "So much?"
Chen Ahfu nodded and whispered, "Well, let's go to the dental clinic in a few days."
The next day, Chen Afu and his friends were going to the Nishang Embroidery Workshop to look at the buttons and try their luck to see if they could sell the designs of the dolls and then have some cooperation.
When they talked about this last night, Chen Aman wanted to go along, but when Zhang glared at her, she pouted and dared not speak.
Chen Afu pretended not to see it. He was not there just for shopping, he had something else to discuss.
I thought that if this embroidery shop was good, I could strive for long-term cooperation. Not only would I have more beautiful button designs, but I would also have more diverse doll and accessory designs. For example, giant panda dolls, Hello Kitty, Snoopy, Donald Duck, and some different handbags, etc., or series. Of course, I couldn't sell all these designs at once, because there was no intellectual property in this era.
You must dress up well today to leave a good impression on potential partners.
Chen Ahfu put on a sky-blue fine cloth jacket with five pairs of large buttons on the collar. Although it was a straight button, it was relatively large, with a blue ribbon sleeve and a yellow ribbon button. The two buckled together, gorgeous and eye-catching, very beautiful and unique. She also put on a brown satin long skirt, and Wang also embroidered a circle of broken lotus flowers on the hem and cuffs of the skirt. She combed her hair into a single spiral bun, inserted a wooden hairpin, and wore two small scarlet flowers.
When she finished, Dabao was stunned. He stared at her with exaggerated eyes wide open and said, "Mom, I have never seen a girl as beautiful as you."
This little mouth is so sweet, he will definitely make his wife happy in the future.
Dabao was wearing a long blue dress that was longer than his knees. It was made to be quite loose, so he could still wear it next year. He was wearing moon-white shorts, a brown belt around his waist, and a sky-high haircut. His little face looked even more handsome and beautiful.
Chen Ahfu smiled and picked him up, kissed him twice and said, "Oh my god, how can my son be so handsome? Be sure to keep your mother close when you go out, and don't let him be kidnapped to be someone's son-in-law."
Dabao smiled so hard that he pursed his lips.
Ah Lu, who was sitting on the kang, chuckled and said, "Only my sister and Dabao, a mother and son, would be like this, praising each other so much that it makes people sick."
After Chen Afu said "little son-in-law", he realized that Wang was also here, and he regretted it very much.
Wang lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen. She wore a brown jacket, with moon-white satin embroidered with winding plum blossoms at the collar and cuffs. She used Zhang's hair oil to tame her temples and inserted a wooden hairpin. It was very simple, which made her look gentle and pretty. However, there were too many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she seemed to be a few years older than her actual age. Even so, Chen Afu still felt that Wang was better looking than Mr. Chen's current wife.
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Mother is so pretty." Wang blushed and glared at her.
She also told Wang that if she was talking about business with others at the embroidery workshop, she should not interrupt them casually.
Wang nodded, thinking it was right to listen to her daughter.
When they went out, Chen Aman, who was busy in the yard, saw the buttons on Chen Afu's clothes, his eyes widened and he shouted, "What beautiful buttons! It turns out that abacus knots can also look good in different colors."
Chen Afu smiled, and several people went to the street corner to find a donkey cart.
Arriving at West Street, we headed straight to the Nishang Embroidery Workshop. Entering the Nishang Embroidery Workshop, we were greeted by a dazzling array of brilliance, with several gorgeous embroidered screens on the floor and various ornaments hanging on the walls.
The three of them were all dressed very well today and had good temperaments. The waiter greeted them warmly. According to the waiter, the first floor sells embroidery and accessories, the second floor sells cloth, and the third floor sells ready-made clothes, and also provides customized services.
The accessories include not only various kinds of flowers, headbands, purses, cords, bracelets, small dolls, etc., but also unique sewing kits and buttons, which are not available in other embroidery workshops.
Especially the buttons. Although there are only two types, chrysanthemum buttons and plum blossom buttons, they are extremely delicate and beautiful, with different colors and sizes, and the color matching is just right.
These buckles sold very well. The most exquisite buckles made of kesi and gold thread were sold at ten taels of silver per pair, which was a really astronomical price.
That young lady Luo is really capable. She has almost made buttonholes a luxury item in the Dashun Dynasty.
The waiter smiled and said, "We bought this from Ziyun Embroidery Workshop in Shizhou Prefecture. It is said that many shops in Beijing and Jiangnan are buying it now. We bought so many because our boss is related to the boss of Yayun Embroidery Workshop. Now some embroidery workshops have begun to imitate this kind of buttons, but none of them are as good as Ziyun Embroidery Workshop."
Seeing that they were not particularly wealthy, she added, "This smallest plum blossom button is cheap, only 200 coins a pair. Buy five pairs and sew them on your clothes. They will be more beautiful and unique than embroidery." She glanced at the buttons on Chen Ahfu's clothes and smiled, "The buttons on your clothes are also beautiful, but they are not as good as the ones in our house."
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "The owner of Yayun Embroidery Workshop is the young lady of the Luo family, or is she related to her? To be honest, I sold these button designs to young lady Luo in June this year. I have some other designs on hand. If your embroidery workshop is interested, you can talk to me."
When the waiter heard this, he quickly called out, "Manager Luo, Manager Luo, we have business to discuss."
A woman's voice came, "Here it comes."
