Chapter 953 Sigh
Fine work produces fine products, and good things cannot be rushed.
Cheng Yingjie thinks there is no problem with waiting for the construction period.
Cheng Yingjie asked Lu Miao about the price. Lu Miao thought for a while and said:
"Plain cloth is thirty-five feet. Embroidery varies. The one you're asking about is seventy-one feet."
Cheng Yingjie thought for a while and then responded.
He wanted a three-hundred-foot piece with embroidery, the kind Lu Miao had worn before.
Not everyone can afford to wear silk and satin.
This time it is mainly to meet the needs of those wealthy ladies, so the quantity does not need to be too large.
Even limited sales can fetch a better price...
Lu Miao agreed to the job, said he would get back to him later, and hung up the phone.
Today is the Winter Solstice, and Fu Jingyou is resting at home.
Lu Miao dressed neatly, found the leftover fabrics and put them in his bag, then pulled Fu Jingyou out.
As soon as I reached the gate, I bumped into Gu Ying and Xie Fei, both of whom were holding a thin strip of pork in their hands.
Lu Miao staggered his position.
When Xie Fei brought the pork into the house, she stood at the door and chatted intimately with Gu Ying, holding hands:
"Why are you bringing meat here? You two aren't going to eat it? It's the Winter Solstice today!"
Gu Ying said with a smile:
"They only brought meat here during the winter solstice. It was quiet over there, so we thought we'd just not cook and come over to have a meal."
Lu Miao glared at her angrily:
"Look at what you said."
Having said that, Lu Miao lowered his voice:
"Didn't you go back there today?"
Gu Ying shook her head:
"I just rushed back after I got back."
We had said we would come back after lunch, but we ended up arguing a lot.
Gu Ying thought that since it was a rare opportunity for her to go back, she might as well endure it for the sake of face.
Xie Fei can't do it.
After the previous quarrel, Xie Fei became even more angry and pulled her back.
Lu Miao nodded and said:
"He knows how to protect you now, that's a good thing."
Apart from this, Lu Miao didn't know what to say.
It's a bit sad.
Lu Miao didn't know what Yang Yun was thinking.
Yang Yun only has Xie Fei as her son, and she loved him so much in the past.
Now the couple has so much trouble that they don’t even go home anymore.
I finally got the chance to go back home for the holidays, but I still don't know how to behave myself.
Now my son and daughter-in-law are not eating at home, but instead they are carrying food to other people's homes to eat. What is going on?
"Okay, it's cold outside, go inside first! Brother You and I are going to run some errands, and we'll make dumplings together when we come back later!"
"Yeah." After smiling at each other, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou went out to do business.
Gu Ying called Tang Mei "Aunt" and walked into the house with a smile on her face to chat.
…
For the master craftsman, the price of plain cloth is 25 yuan per foot.
Plain cloth is also divided into categories, such as solid-colored plain cloth.
Some common mechanical printing processes on the market are also included in the specifications of plain cloth, and the price is the same.
Embroidery is a manual reprocessing and should be calculated separately.
The price generally requires an additional seven to fifteen yuan per foot.
The offer Lu Miao gave to Cheng Yingjie included his own commission.
She went to communicate the situation with the master, and the master was a little surprised.
For a craftsman, three hundred feet of embroidery material is not a small order.
Master Zhou touched the material she brought, thought for a while and said:
"There are only two of us here who can embroider, including me. We need 300 feet, and the earliest we can do it...is estimated to be by the end of February. Is there still time?"
Lu Miao spoke the truth:
"I can't tell you that right now. I need to go back and ask. If you're sure you can do it within this timeframe, I'll get confirmation from them and come back tomorrow."
"What can be done, can be done."
Master Zhou nodded quickly:
"There's a phone at the entrance of the alley. I'll write you the number. If you have any questions, just call me directly. You don't have to go there in person."
Lu Miao thought it was okay and wrote down the phone number.
Afterwards, they set out to walk back. When she and Fu Jingyou arrived home, Tang Mei and Gu Ying were kneading dough and mixing stuffing at one end of the long table.
On the other side, Xie Fei was like a child king, holding Bai Chuan in his arms, and accompanying Shi An, Ming Yi and others to do their homework.
When they pushed the door open, everyone in the room turned their heads and the children started to chatter excitedly:
"Uncle!"
"Dad, Mom!"
The TV was on, the chimney stove was burning, the house was lively and warm, and it was a scene of warmth and harmony.
Lu Miao pretended to be serious and pressed his hand down to stop the children from making noise.
"Do your homework well. Once the dough is ready, you can make two dumplings."
The children laughed and shouted "That's great", and soon they obediently continued to read and do their homework.
Xie Fei's teacup was empty long ago, and he had no time to refill it with water as he was holding the child in his arms.
Fu Jingyou saw this and brought a thermos to refill the hot tea for the couple.
After that, he took the child and sat at the table with Xie Fei to chat.
Amidst their casual conversation and the sounds of the children mumbling arithmetic and reading texts, Lu Miao called Cheng Yingjie back.
After confirming that Cheng Yingjie could wait and was sure of the offer, Lu Miao brought up the issue of the payment.
She used to work in cultural publicity, and Master Zhou knew her identity, but he didn't know that she had resigned. Out of trust in her, Master Zhou didn't ask for a deposit.
But Lu Miao felt that this was something he could realize on his own, so he shouldn't wait for others to bring it up.
This is a manual job, which is very time-consuming. Once you start, you can't easily change it.
If something goes wrong in the process, the materials may just pile up and you won’t be able to find a suitable buyer.
Lu Miao explained the general situation to Cheng Yingjie and asked him to take half and half.
Pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the rest after the goods arrive in his hands.
Master Zhou trusted her, Cheng Yingjie had worked with her many times, and he had asked her to do this job, so naturally he trusted her.
Cheng Yingjie made his attitude clear on the phone, saying that he would transfer the money to her today.
Lu Miao said okay, and after hanging up the phone, he went to the factory yard.
Ask the finance department to go to the bank in the next two days and notify her as soon as the money arrives.
After finishing these things, Lu Miao went home to celebrate the festival in peace.
Pork is hard to buy, and pork is even harder to buy during the holidays.
However, the weather is cold, and the pork will not go bad if it is hung under the eaves in the yard. The Fu family started waiting in line to buy pork a few days ago.
In addition to the dumplings with pork and green onion filling and pork and lotus root filling that Gu Ying and Xie Fei brought today, there were also several rolls of dumplings.
During dinner, the long table was filled with people sitting happily.
Gu Ying hasn't had much of an appetite lately.
It was her first time eating dumplings stuffed with pork and lotus root, and it was fresh. Plus, they were dipped in vinegar, which whetted her appetite a lot and she ate the rice with relish.
There was only a certain amount of meat that was brought over, and she ate a lot. Xie Fei didn't feel comfortable eating more because he was concerned about her.
Not to mention that the elders couldn't let him just sit there and watch without eating, even Lu Miao couldn't do it.
Lu Miao took Xie Fei's bowl and filled it up immediately:
"Just come and enjoy the food. It's not a big deal. If you continue to mess around, I won't let you come here anymore!"
Xie Fei blushed and nodded quickly to comply.
He then let go and started eating the dumplings in big mouthfuls.
Tang Mei smiled and nodded when she saw it:
"That's the way it should be."
