At this time, Meng's embroiderer also arrived.
Although Meng Yiqiu shamelessly "stayed" here, she had not used her place to accommodate these people.
At this time, the influence of the Meng family was revealed. Although they were dispatched from nearby, several well-known top embroiderers came in one day and one night.
Among them, there was one whose name even Meng Yiqiu had heard of more than once.
The embroiderer's surname is Hong, and her name is Hong Shizhu.
There was a saying among the people of Dayan that there were ten great embroiderers, and Hong Shizhu's great aunt was one of them. It is said that Hong Shizhu inherited the embroidery skills from the Hong family, and the peony paintings she embroidered were worth a fortune, and she was known as "the best needlework in Qinzhou."
But despite her fame, Hong Shizhu is just an orphan now. After her family fell into poverty, she was recruited by the Meng family. Now she is in her twenties and has become the top embroiderer in Qinzhou. In addition, she is very beautiful and has a great reputation.
Among the seven embroiderers who came, the oldest was about forty years old, and the youngest was Hong Shizhu, who was twenty years old.
Most of these embroiderers are already married, but facing the beauty of the second young master Meng, they still can't help blushing and their hearts beating fast. Whoever Meng Yiqiu's eyes fall on will not help but lower their heads.
Looking at the blushing little faces all over the room, Young Master Meng's heart was finally soothed. He thought, is this the normal reaction of a woman seeing him...Poor Master Tang, he went blind at such a young age.
...
...
Young Master Meng briefly explained the situation, then showed them the short robe he had tried on and the sketch drawn by Tang Shiyue.
The embroiderers stopped fluttering their hearts and turned to look at the short robe while discussing the matter with each other.
Hong Shizhu was the first to speak, saying calmly, "This so-called 'sweater' has such a thick and rough texture, how can you talk about embroidery? Wouldn't the stitches be scary big?"
She raised her chin, her attitude was arrogant, and her tone was full of disdain.
Meng Yiqiu frowned: "Oh?"
Hong Shizhu looked at him and felt a little shy. She turned away with a red face, but her attitude was still very arrogant: "In short, I think it's impossible. Although I have only learned embroidery for more than ten years, I will never embroider such things. If it gets out, it will make people laugh."
An older embroiderer nearby whispered, "It's not about embroidery thread, but using threads of different colors. I think it's okay."
Another person said: "The embroidery will definitely be very rough."
"You can see it from a distance, but if you look at it up close... I'm afraid you can't see it."
It was the older embroiderer who had spoken before who said, "They are all threads of normal thickness, why can't you see them? I think we can give it a try."
"It's quite different from what we embroidered before, but it shouldn't be ugly."
Hong Shizhu couldn't help but interject again: "Do you know how to embroider? How do you put the needle into this kind of fabric? There are rules for making it even, smooth, straight, even, thin, smooth, and dense... Which one can you achieve?"
At first, everyone kept their voices down and didn't dare to speak, but after all, they were all experts who had been doing embroidery for a lifetime, so they gradually relaxed and started a heated discussion.
In the end, more than half of the people felt, like Hong Shizhu, that this kind of thing could not be embroidered. Only three people, including the older embroiderer Lin, thought that they should find some thread and give it a try.
Meng Yiqiu listened with a frown on his face.
He had been managing the cloth shop business, so he naturally had some understanding of these things, but sweaters were a new thing after all, and he was not sure what they could look like.
Since Lin Xiu Niang said she wanted to give it a try, he wanted to ask someone to prepare a car to go to Yuefang.
Everyone stood up, and suddenly remembered that when they came in the morning, Tang Shiyue was in a hurry to find someone to help make some soup cubes... He immediately became unhappy and changed the topic: "Aqi, go to Tang Dangjia over there and ask for some wool of different colors. Tell them that my embroiderer wants to try embroidery."
Aqi responded and went.
He quickly brought over a pack, along with a dozen thick wooden needles, which had obviously been prepared long ago.
Several embroiderers immediately began to try embroidery. Meng Yiqiu took a few glances, then stepped aside and asked Aqi, "What is Master Tang doing?"
Ah Qi was more honest, and said with his hands down, "She was busy preparing food with a few other people. When I went there and told her about it, she told me to go find Mr. Xia."
Meng Yiqiu frowned. Although he knew it was impossible, he couldn't help but ask, "Did she ask me?"
Aqi shook his head: "No."
Meng Yiqiu snorted. Just as Ah Qi was about to leave, he heard Meng Yiqiu say, "Isn't there a Deji Dim Sum Shop over here? Go pick out some delicious dim sum and buy some more."
Aqi quickly responded.
So Tang Shiyue just stretched after finishing her work, and saw Meng Yiqiu coming in with a lunch box, smiling.
Tang Shiyue poured herself a cup of tea and helped him pour a bowl as well. They drank it hurriedly. Meng Yiqiu smiled and said, "Are you tired? I just bought some snacks. Let's eat first."
Tang Shiyue hesitated for a moment, then saw that the dessert was very delicately made. She was also a little bored from being busy and wanted to eat something sweet, so she thanked the customer and took a piece to eat.
Meng Yiqiu held the tea, stood at the door and looked at it, saying, "What is this for?"
Tang Shiyue said: "It is a kind of soup cube which is convenient to carry with you. When the time comes, just rinse it with hot water and you will have oil, salt, and meat..." She explained it to him briefly.
Meng Yiqiu nodded and smiled, "It's really a unique idea. If you are on a long journey and there is no inn, you can drink a bowl of this hot food, which is much better than eating dry food."
That makes sense!
To be honest, she looks like a fairy on earth and is so gentle and flattering. Apart from anything else, she is really pleasing to the eye.
Tang Shiyue returned the favor and asked with a smile, "Is your embroiderer here?"
"Here we go," Meng Yiqiu said, "Let them try. I'll ask them to come over tomorrow and we'll discuss it."
Tang Shiyue nodded, and just in time she heard Xia Yuhui's voice saying something next door, so she went out and said through the wall: "Mr. Xia!"
The next door responded, and Tang Shiyue said, "Come over and help me write something when you're done!"
Xia Yuhui came over from the small door: "Young Master, the wine shop is opening today! I'm busy now, so I'll write it in the evening!"
Tang Shiyue had no choice but to nod, "Okay then."
Xia Yuhui left in a hurry. Tang Shiyue came back and sat down. Meng Yiqiu shook his fan and said with a smile, "I wonder what you want to write? If it's not something important, I can help write it."
Tang Shiyue was a little hesitant.
To be honest, if it was Sheng Qi, she would definitely ask him to write it directly, but she didn't have a very good impression of Meng Yiqiu. Besides, the business deal hasn't been settled yet... It would be fine to just eat his snack, but asking him to write something, what if the deal breaks down in the future?
Tang Shiyue refused: "Thank you, but it's not very convenient."
Meng Yiqiu didn't force it and started chatting with her about some trivial matters. When he really wanted to humble himself to please her, every sentence he said was gentle and every word was precious. She was so tired that she didn't even want to lift her fingers, but she couldn't help chatting with him.
