Chapter 70 Designing a Logo
Xie Shuangbai didn't want to get up from the warm bed, but he still quickly got up.
The new clothes I bought yesterday were neatly placed in a clothing store not far from the workshop.
It was a faded red cross-collared robe with a scattered daffodil pattern. He had fallen in love with it at first sight when he visited the cloth shop.
He recalled that when the shopkeeper saw that he liked the robe, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
The shopkeeper said that this robe was very fashionable in the south, but for some reason no one in the north had asked about it yet. He was the first young man with such discerning taste.
Xie Shuangbai knew it as soon as he saw the color, because people in the northern border rarely wear light colors, most of them wear dark colors that are easy to care for.
Xie Shuangbai is very suitable for wearing light colors. She looks soft like a hibiscus flower swaying in the wind, fresh and refined, which makes people's eyes bright.
The shopkeeper saw that he was dressed so nicely and gave him the lowest price, but the lowest price still cost him 5 taels of silver.
Rong Ye was quite happy and kept staring at him, which made him feel creepy.
He also bought a set of brightly colored jackets and skirts for each of his three younger sisters and Heinu.
He bought a few more pieces of cloth, and the total cost was 20 taels.
He was so tired when he came back yesterday that he forgot to give them the clothes.
He put on his clothes and tied his hair up, then saw Rong Ye coming in.
"Have you brought in the clothes and fabrics you bought yesterday?" Xie Shuangbai asked as he sorted out the clothes.
"Yeah." Rong Ye answered with only one word as usual.
"Then take your clothes and the cloth and come out with me."
Xie Qiushi was soaking beans, Xie Xiachan was harvesting bean sprouts, and Xie Chunmiao and Heinu were sorting the vegetables.
Xie Shuangbai walked over and said, "I forgot to give you the clothes I bought yesterday. Do you like them?"
Xie Shuangbai chose Hunan yellow for Xie Qiushi, Xie Xiachan chose smoky pink, Xie Chunmiao chose light green, and Heinu chose water red. As little girls, they should wear bright colors, which makes them look pleasing to the eye.
The four of them really liked it. Xie Chunmiao took the clothes and jumped for joy, saying that he wanted to change into them immediately.
She said with a sharp eye: "Brother, is this pink dress of yours also new? It looks so beautiful!"
Xie Shuangbai also likes it. This faded red is actually a light pink, which is not the color most men would choose.
But he is used to wearing pink nowadays, and he has bought a lot of pink sweatshirts and pink hoodies.
Besides, her original skin is very fair, so pink is particularly suitable for her. It would be a waste of such a beautiful face if she doesn’t wear it beautifully.
"I like it too."
It seems that Xie Chunmiao is a bit like her and likes beautiful clothes.
Xie Shuangbai straightened his clothes and said, "I'm going to the village chief's house. You stay home and watch the door."
Xie Shuangbai took Rong Ye to Wang's house.
The Wang family was still busy. When Cui saw his outfit today, her eyes lit up and she circled around him again and again: "You bought new clothes again, they look really nice. I remember your mother looked good in light pink!"
Xie Shuangbai smiled and took her hand. "Aunt, here are some pieces of cloth I bought yesterday. Take them and make some clothes for you, your uncle, your sister-in-law, and the children."
When Cui saw the pile of cloth that the big man was holding, which she estimated to be 7-8 pieces, she was shocked.
She quickly said, "Why are there so many? We can't use them all!"
Xie Shuangbai shook his head: "Not much. Brother Wang buys four sets of clothes a year at Youranju, and there is also their cloth! I wanted to buy them clothes, but I didn't know the size, so I bought cloth instead."
Cui smiled and said, "Why buy ready-made clothes? We can make them ourselves and they are comfortable!"
Xie Shuangbai shook her arm, "Besides, you've helped me so much, so what if I give you a few pieces of cloth?"
The cloth was placed on the table in the main hall. The two sisters-in-law were stunned to see such a pile of cloth. They knew that it was the cloth that Xie Shuangbai gave to his mother-in-law and to his own husbands to make clothes, so they smiled and entertained him warmly.
Tiantian still pestered Xie Shuangbai and asked him to hug her, so Xie Shuangbai gave her some sugar-roasted chestnuts.
This was fried by Rongye this morning.
"It's so delicious." Tiantian ate the soft and glutinous chestnuts and smiled at Xie Shuangbai.
Xue asked hurriedly, "Is this a thorn egg?"
Xie Shuangbai nodded: "Sister-in-law is amazing, she guessed it right away!"
"Hey, they all look the same and I can't tell, but you're really smart, you even know how to eat them!"
Xue ate a few chestnuts and found them really delicious, soft and filling.
“This will feel very filling.”
After eating a few, Li felt full.
Xie Shuangbai said as he peeled chestnuts, "Second sister-in-law is right. A few of these will make you feel full, just like sweet potatoes."
Xue was a little worried: "This is a good thing, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to harvest next year!"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If the chestnuts are not cooked correctly, they will taste just average."
He was not afraid of everyone roasting chestnuts on their own. He said:
"I plan to open a shop in town to make sugar-roasted chestnuts. I've already found a shop, but I haven't found the right person to do it yet. My sister-in-law and aunt-in-law, do you have any recommendations for someone suitable? I also need a cook who can cook delicious meals."
Cui thought about it, but didn't dare to recommend it rashly: "Let me ask for you, both the character and cooking skills must be good."
Xie Shuangbai nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help, auntie."
Xie Shuangbai sat for a while and then went back.
Halfway through the walk, he went to Carpenter Zhang's house and ordered a lot of furniture. As the new store was opening, tables, chairs and benches were indispensable.
I also ordered a desk, a wardrobe, and a hundred or so other items.
When Carpenter Zhang saw that so much wood was needed, he asked his son to go purchase it tomorrow.
The total amount is about 50 taels.
Xie Shuangbai directly gave him 50 taels and asked him to make it and deliver it directly to the town.
The weather was bad and gloomy today. After he finished these chores, he went home.
After returning home, he wrote and drew at his desk.
He wants to design a LOGO for Youranju.
Even if one is illiterate, one can tell it is their shop at first glance.
The reason why Xie Shuangbai named Youranju was not because of his pen name Youran. It was really a coincidence.
Xie Shuangbai likes the artistic conception of Tao Yuanming's "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains." His dream when he grew up was to live such a life.
If he hadn't come here, he would have planned to buy a yard in Yunnan and live like this.
Now that I have traveled through time, although there is no East Fence or South Mountain, the back mountain is quite big, so this dream has been half realized.
So the workshop is called Youran Ju, which is also a memory of past dreams.
Xie Shuangbai bit the tip of his pen and thought.
Rong Ye sat beside him and peeled chestnuts for him.
After he peeled one, he put one in his mouth.
Xie Shuangbai was thinking about something and didn't look at him. He felt something near his mouth, so he opened his mouth and put the chestnut on his finger.
Rong Ye only felt his fingertips get wet, his eyes darkened, and even his heart became wet.
He didn't know what was going on.
Xie Shuangbai didn't pay attention to him, and he suddenly had an idea of how to design it.
When he visited Chengdu before, he saw hibiscus flowers everywhere and liked them very much. He planned to use them in his design.
He took out the watercolor paints he had brought out from the space earlier. The paints had been packed in wooden boxes.
He spread out watercolor paper and sketched a pink hibiscus flower.
