Chapter 185 Police Dog Wangcai
This time, there was no need for Cui Qingyi to force it in. Wangcai took the initiative to put his nose into the clothes and took a deep sniff. Then, he sneezed loudly in front of Gong Xiu's incredible gaze.
Gong Xiu was a little embarrassed. "Ahem... I asked her to take off this dress and was planning to throw it away, so I didn't have it washed."
He quickly assured Wangcai, "Wangcai, good dog, if you can really help me find that person, I'll give you two more roast ducks, no, three."
Gong Xiu changed the two fingers that were raised in front of Wangcai into three, and Wangcai shook his tail slightly.
Cui Qingyi, who knew Wangcai very well, rolled her eyes speechlessly. What a greedy guy, I hope he won’t be cheated out of a roast duck one day.
She patted Wangcai's big head gently and said, "Go ahead. If you can't find it, come back early and be careful."
Cui Qingyi was not too worried if Wangcai went out alone now. She and Konjac took Wangcai to the Girls' School and Huaihua Lane almost every day. Now they opened a teahouse outside the city. It was no exaggeration to say that Wangcai was as well-known in Dongping County as her owner.
Watching Wangcai running away, Gong Xiu became restless and asked, "Should we follow him?"
Cui Qingyi: "No, it runs too fast for us to catch up. Don't worry, if it finds someone, it will come back and take us there."
This was the first time that Wangcai was used as a police dog, and Cui Qingyi was not sure whether it could find the target, after all, Wangcai had not received formal search training.
In fact, after searching for several days in a row, although Gong Xiu was worried, she had already accepted the reality that the person could not be found. Now that she saw that Wangcai seemed to really understand what they said, she did not hold out much hope.
"Forget it. Whether or not I can find it depends entirely on fate. It's a rare opportunity for you to come in and see how the embroidery shop is doing."
As the proprietress of Jinxiufang, Gong Xiu is a woman who single-handedly supports such a large business. In addition to the accumulation of previous years, she herself is a person who dares to think and act. She is also the first truly independent-minded woman Cui Qingyi has met in this era.
She was also the first person to discover the market for Cui Qingyi's double-sided embroidery. Before, Gong Xiu had been planning to do a big business after the girls in the female embroidery class graduated, but she didn't expect that several of her most promising students would be snatched away by the royal family halfway through.
Since she didn't have the courage to compete with the royal family for him, she could only think of another way.
In the past two months, Gong Xiu has been traveling around Qinghe County with her people and embroidery products. She also got inspiration from Cui Qingyi. After all, she is alone and weak, and if she wants to make her business bigger and stronger, she must take a long-term view.
She provided people and embroidery products, and transported the embroidery products from Jinxiufang to other embroidery shops in Qinghe County to sell. This was a good way to open up the market.
Fortunately, businessmen in this era were all shrewd. The news that the royal family had specially selected several embroiderers who could do double-sided embroidery in Dongping County to enter the palace gradually spread throughout Qinghe County.
With this foundation, Gong Xiu was extremely surprised when faced with the large cloth shops and embroidery workshops that came to seek cooperation. As a result, Gong Xiu secured several big business deals this time.
Since there was nothing else to do, Cui Qingyi readily agreed.
Gong Xiu's embroidery shop has now grown to a certain size. There are more embroidery frames and a lot more embroiderers than when Cui Qingyi visited it before.
Gong Xiu took Cui Qingyi on a tour up and down the stairs while introducing the place, her words full of confidence and exuberance: "During this trip, I not only brought back several orders for double-sided embroidery, but also an owner was impressed by our embroiderers' skills in making ready-made clothes and placed a large order.
Someone even took a liking to our wedding dress-making skills and asked us to make a few samples to send over."
When talking about her business, Gong Xiu became lively, with a glow on her face that Cui Qingyi was very familiar with but had not seen for a long time.
She was not shy about expressing her admiration for Gong Xiu:
"Well, Sister Xiu is amazing. She's the most amazing woman I've ever met."
Just based on her courage and daring spirit, she is hundreds or thousands of times better than countless men.
"Hahaha, I won't refute you if you say that."
Many of the embroiderers here have watched the embroiderer selection held in the county government before, and naturally they all know the teachers of the women's school.
Although everyone previously thought that Cui Qingyi's girls' school had trained more embroiderers to compete with them for business, their thoughts changed after the attack on the county government office.
Especially when they were lucky enough to work in the embroidery shop owned by Manager Gong, they felt ashamed of their previous shallowness.
Not to mention the double-sided embroidery skills demonstrated by the girls in the county government office, even the embroiderers in the embroidery shop were much better than them.
Compared with these people, the little Kung Fu they know is just at the level of a three-year-old child.
Fortunately, Shopkeeper Gong is willing to have people teach them. They are currently paid the lowest wages, but as long as they are willing to learn as Shopkeeper Gong said, they will be able to get the wages of first-class embroiderers sooner or later.
Cui Qingyi was concentrating on watching the embroiderers' work. She didn't react when someone greeted her. "Mr. Cui, could you help me take a look at this stitch? I've been practicing this stitch for several days but I just can't get it right."
An embroiderer who looked a bit older stood up and pointed at her embroidery frame and asked Cui Qingyi.
Cui Qingyi had been running a girls' school for a long time. Apart from being chased by children and called "sir" in the classroom, she had never been called "sir" by people of her age outside. However, she was only stunned for a moment, and then happily agreed:
"Of course, let me see."
"You need to use random stitches here. You can start by layering, laying the color on the bottom layer first, and then slowly refining the upper layer after laying the color. Learning this stitch method tests the transition of colors, so just practice slowly and you will be fine."
Seeing that she was humble and explained in detail, several embroiderers around her pointed to their embroidery frames and asked Cui Qingyi to help them take a look.
Time passes faster when there is something to do. More than an hour has passed while waiting for Gong Xiu and Cui Qingyi to come out of the embroidery building, but Wangcai has not returned yet.
Gong Xiu pulled Cui Qingyi's arm and said, "Mr. Cui, you can see that my embroidery shop is short of staff right now. You can't promise to send people from the girls' school elsewhere."
Cui Qingyi naturally had no objection. Although her girls' school had gained some reputation now, it was not yet to the point where everyone was vying for it. If Gong Xiu was willing to accept all these students, that would naturally be great.
Moreover, she also gets a share of the money earned by the embroidery shop, so Cui Qingyi naturally hopes that the embroidery shop can do better.
After talking about the things in the embroidery shop and the embroidery building, the two sat under a tree outside the yard, drinking tea and waiting for Wangcai.
Gong Xiu felt that she had just glanced away, and how come Wangcai from the Cui family was right in front of her?
Maybe he was tired from running too fast, Wangcai's rosy tongue was sticking out. When he squatted down, he did not forget to put his head on Cui Qingyi's arm, and his tail was wagging especially happily.
Even though Gong Xiu had not spent much time with Wangcai, she could see happiness on this furry face at the moment.
She stood up suddenly and pointed at Wangcai in disbelief, "This, this is found?"
