Chapter 260: Encounter at the Embroidery Village

On the appointed date, Su Zhi asked Shen Zian to take her to the town in a bullock cart and handed all the prepared dolls to the people Liang Fu had found. Liang Fu was also in the cart, but she did not get off. She said a few words through the small curtain on the carriage.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi went into the town. Today was another market day, so there were quite a lot of people. They also had some things to buy at home.

This time Zuozhi bought some more food. There was already a lot of food at home, which was brought back one after another. They thought there might be a severe drought, so they thought the more food the better.

Then they went to Baise Embroidery Shop. Su Zhi had woven some more threads when she was free at home these days, and Auntie Lan had also woven a lot, so she just happened to come here to sell them. In addition, Su Zhi had something to ask Shopkeeper Su, and she could have asked someone else, but since she knew Shopkeeper Su, it was most appropriate for her to ask her.

The business of Baise Embroidery Shop still seemed to be good. When she entered, there were several people picking things inside. The shopkeeper Su was not there, and Su Zhi was greeted by the shop assistant.

"Where is your shopkeeper Su?"

Su Zhi asked the clerk that if she only sold the silk, she would just have to pay the clerk, because now the clerk knew her and knew how much she should pay for the silk. But she really had something to ask Shopkeeper Su.

The waiter said, "Our boss is receiving a guest in the back and will be out soon. Madam Shen, please wait for a moment."

Su Zhi nodded, took out the silk threads she wanted to sell from the basket, handed them to the clerk, and said, "Here are 120 silk threads, with two new designs. This one is called Twin Phoenixes Playing with Pearls, and this one is called Hundred Flowers Fighting for Spring."

His eyes lit up, he looked at it in his hand, and praised: "Mrs. Shen is very clever, this weaving is good and new. Now almost everyone recognizes these weavings that you came up with. It's rare that you don't hide it. You also taught the people in your village, and now their lives are better. You are really kind-hearted."

The guy really meant what he said. In recent days, many people who came to Baise Embroidery Shop to sell silk threads were holding the silk threads that Su Zhi had brought earlier, and they were all selling well.

"You have won the award. We are all from the same village."

Su Zhi smiled and said that because Shugen and his wife had good friends and relatives, and they had a way to make money, they wanted to let others benefit from it. With Su Zhi's consent, they taught several types of knitting they knew to people they knew. Later, Su Zhi taught them new styles, and it did not prevent them from continuing to sell at a high price. In this way, more people knew how to knit the knitting Su Zhi taught them. It really benefited some people.

"Mrs. Shen, I'll take it in and show it to my shopkeeper. Please wait a moment. (I'll be there soon.)"

The waiter smiled and took two silk curtains and turned around. He lifted a curtain on the side and went in. There was another room inside, and the distinguished guest was also inside. A big embroidery shop like Baise Embroidery Shop naturally has such a place to receive distinguished guests. Not all women would hang out outside to look at things, and not all good things would be placed outside for people to choose. People who are really familiar with this place, or people who the shopkeeper thinks have money, will be led to the back to see the valuable things.

Su Zhi smiled and didn't wait around, but went to look at other embroidery works.

The clerk took Su Zhi's silk scarf and went to the back, into a room decorated very elegantly, and saw the shopkeeper Su talking to a woman. They were both standing, and the maid behind the woman was holding something in her hand. It seemed that she had already picked out something.

Shopkeeper Su watched the waiter come in, and saw what she was holding. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that a silk ribbon? Is it the wife of the Shen family?"

Shopkeeper Su thought that the waiter came in with the silk thread because it was new and he came to show it to her. And the only one who could make up the most fresh silk thread was Su Zhi, so she immediately thought of Su Zhi.

The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, these are the new threads that the Shen family's wife has made up. One is called Two Phoenixes Playing with Pearls, and the other is called Hundred Flowers Fighting for Spring. Shopkeeper, take a look."

"That's a good name, two phoenixes playing with a pearl, a hundred flowers competing for spring, I'd like to see it. You've been coming up with a lot of new things here lately, it's rare for me to see them first."

The woman said with a smile on her face. She was very pretty. Although not a beauty, she had a very unique charm. Her eyes and eyebrows were very charming. Her voice was soft like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley. When people heard her voice, they couldn't help but want to take a look at her.

Shopkeeper Su smiled, took two ropes from the clerk and gave one to the woman.

"Mrs. Yue, please look."

This person was none other than Zhang Baozhu's concubine, Jia Yue'er. However, Shopkeeper Su was good at talking, so he called her Madam Yue, which sounded nice.

Jia Yueer looked at the silk in her hand, nodded, and said, "This is very fresh. Isn't this the spring of flowers blooming? It really feels like the spring of flowers blooming. The weaver is very skillful. This double phoenix playing with pearls is also good. Shopkeeper Su, give me ten of these two purses."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Su smiled and asked his clerk, "Are the two kinds of silk threads that Madam Shen brought this time enough for Madam Yue to order?"

The waiter smiled and said, "That's enough. The Shen family's wife brought 120 silk threads this time. They only made 10 of this new style. The rest are still the original style."

"This Shen family lady is always like this. It would be a pity if she didn't use her brain in business."

Shopkeeper Su smiled and said that because Su Zhi always had a new style, the price would be higher and the quantity would not be too many each time, which made it appear that scarcity makes things more valuable.

Jia Yueer heard what Shopkeeper Su said and said, "Hearing Shopkeeper Su praising this Shen family lady so much, I actually want to meet this Shen family lady. She must be a very extraordinary person, right?"

Shopkeeper Su smiled. If it were any other time, she would definitely say "I'm definitely not as good as you, Madam Yue" to praise Madam Yue. After all, she was the favorite concubine of the son of the richest man in the Zhang family. Although she was only a concubine and not the wife, she was much more valued than the wife. Her own business also relied a lot on the Zhang family. It would be best not to offend Jia Yue'er. If they got along well, they could get some benefits. But because the other person was Su Zhi, she couldn't say this, because Su Zhi seemed to be no worse than Madam Yue. In Shopkeeper Su's heart, the fresh and natural Su Zhi was more pleasing to her than Jia Yue'er, who was a concubine.

"Mrs. Shen is a very skillful person."

Shopkeeper Su only said this lightly at the end. She didn't want Su Zhi to have much contact with Jia Yue'er. Although the contact with Su Zhi was not long, Q
