Looking at Yunxiang's sad face, although I wanted to persuade her, the empty consolation at this time could not make her feel better. So she only explained a few words slightly and asked again: "When will you still go to the embroidery workshop?"

"I'm going tomorrow.???       "

"Oh tomorrow." I thought about it and said, "Can you please help Aunt Zhao take care of Li'er tomorrow? I'll go with you."

"Ah? What are you going to do?"

"Go to the market to check it out, it's time for me to find a job."

"Oh, then I'll go and talk to my mother later."

"Please trouble her."

She smiled and shook her head, chatted with me for a few more words, then said goodbye and left, and went to Aunt Zhao's house. After she got married, she naturally lived in her husband's house, but she heard that Aunt Zhao's two sons should have come back long ago, but because of the border several more troops, it has been delayed until now. Fortunately, both families are in the same village, and she usually takes care of her mother who lives alone.

After receiving Aunt Zhao's approval, I got up before dawn the next day.

As soon as I finished washing up, I heard Aunt Zhao knocking on the door gently. I asked her to sit down and have tea. I also advised Li'er, who was still half asleep and half awake on the bed, and then left the door.

This time I returned to Jixiang Village, my relationship with Aunt Zhao was more harmonious than before. First, her daughter was married, and second, I was a woman with a child. Such weakness was even more unprepared and even sympathized with. Although other people in the village were not very enthusiastic about me, they did not make things difficult for me. In addition, Gu Ping's appearance before shocked Gou Er. The villagers heard and witnessed it, and knew that it was difficult to mess with a backer behind me.

In this way, I feel more at ease to leave my child in the village and go to the embroidery workshop by myself.

I went to the market with Yunxiang. According to her, some large money shops closed. It should be much deserted than before, but some medium-sized shops are still there, which creates a lively atmosphere. In addition, after the summer, the fruits and aquatic products in Jiangnan were abundant, and the street vendors were selling hard, which was not inferior to before.

A small person is a small person. There will always be a resilience to survive in the cracks.

Yunxiang took me all the way, and sure enough, she saw the embroidery workshop in front, which was where I took over the scattered work and subsidized my family.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw dozens of embroidery wives surrounding me, and the boss of the embroidery shop was talking about something with a big belly and wearing silk.

Yunxiang took me in and heard the man's anxious voice-

"Boss Gao, how can you do this? I'm pointing at you to finish this batch of goods."

"I'm so sorry, Boss Wang."

"Hey, now that you leave, I will want embroidery again in the future, who will I ask for?"

The boss Gao just smiled and didn't respond. However, the embroidered women next to him were all anxious. One of them said with a bold attitude: "Boss, you are leaving now, what can we do in the future?"

"Hey, this world, I will take care of myself."

"Boss Gao, what you said is wrong. We have been doing business for many years. You can leave as soon as you say you want. My batch of goods is still waiting for someone to rush, otherwise I can't hand over it..."

Listening to their words, Yunxiang sighed softly from the side and said, "You have seen it too. When Boss Gao left, no one cared about these embroidered ladies. He was so gentle. Even if those big bosses had a job, they wouldn't be able to find them one by one. I'm afraid in the future..."

I didn't say anything, just watching Boss Wang get more and more anxious. His red face was covered with greasy sweat, and he kept wiping his face with a veil. But Boss Gao had already made up his mind to leave, but he was a businessman and kind. No matter what the people around him said, he was just smiling and perfunctory.

I kept standing by and listening, without any silence. I just walked over and talked to a few experienced embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop, and generally understood some of the situation. Until the boss Wang couldn't hold it and turned around and was about to walk out, I walked up to stop him: "Boss Wang, please stay."

He stopped and looked at me, probably thinking that I was also the embroiderer in the embroidery workshop, frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Boss Wang has a big job now, but no one can take it, right?"

His brows frowned even more: "What does this have to do with you?"

I smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with me, but I heard that Boss Wang has to be in a hurry for this batch of goods, so I want to help."

"Help? What can you, a woman, help me?"

"I want to go next."

"What? You?"

Then he looked me up and down with a little attention.

Today, I also wore a slightly more decent dress. Boss Wang looked at my clothes and his eyebrows slightly stretched, but he still looked at me with concern: "Who are you? What kind of ability do you have to take on this job?"

Before I could speak, Boss Gao inside recognized me and smiled, "Boss Wang, you don't know yet. She was also an embroiderer in our embroidery workshop. Although she was just taking on some sporadic jobs, her skills were very high."

"oh?"

I smiled at Boss Gao.

Although I also knew that he said this just to get rid of Boss Wang's entanglement and take the opportunity to push things out, it was really beneficial to me at this time. I smiled gratefully at him, and then I heard Boss Wang say, "High skills? How high are they?"

“…”

I raised my eyebrows and smiled.

I never thought that this boss Wang would hand me this job so easily, at least there should be a reason to reassure him. So I smiled and took out a silk handkerchief from my hand and handed it to him: "Have you seen this?"

He was a little disdainful at first, but when he saw the silk handkerchief I took out, he suddenly shook it and hurriedly took it over and looked carefully. The embroidered women around him also heard the sound and walked over. Seeing the silk as delicate as flowing water, they were all amazed. Boss Wang was aware of the goods and immediately said, "This is the silk handkerchief from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. How did you get it?"

I smiled and said, "This is given by a friend. I want to ask Boss Wang, have you seen someone embroidered it?"

When he heard this, he was shocked, and the embroiderers around him looked embarrassed.

The silk handkerchief produced by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is the most delicate, and there is almost no seam. Although such a silk handkerchief is soft and fit, embroidery becomes a difficult task. Not to mention the difficulty of lowering the needle, the special embroidery needle is as thin as silk. People with unstable hands and eyes cannot control the needle at all. Blind embroidery will only make the stitches messy, and the rough embroidery will ruin a good handkerchief in vain. It is said that the manufacturing bureau was still in its heyday, and there were only a few dozen embroidery wives, all of whom were the top skill experts in the country. Later, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was closed, and these embroidery wives were buried in the market. Now that they want to find such people, they have almost disappeared.

Boss Wang said in surprise: "Can you?"

I smiled and didn't say anything. I just asked the person next to me to help me with the tension. Yunxiang was standing next to me. At this time, she hurriedly took it to me. I stretched the silk squid, and someone next to me immediately handed me a set of needles.

But when I saw it, I immediately shook my head.

These needles are too thick and can be used on ordinary silk silk, but embroidered on such silk squids is obviously not possible.

Yunxiang whispered, "What should I do?"

I thought about it, reached out and pulled one from the top of my head, and twisted it into a needle with one hand, pulling out a thin thread and passing it through the eye of the needle. The people around were stunned, and they even forgot to breathe, and dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at the point on my fingertips.

I could not notice the surroundings at all. I raised my hands and fell, and only saw a thin silk flying on my fingertips and the silk squid. After a while, a lifelike butterfly appeared in a corner of the silk squid.

When I finished the last stitch, I heard the people around me exclaim.

I took off the tension, tampered the silk parfait, and handed it to Boss Wang: "Do you think this is OK?"

Boss Wang was already stunned. He handed the silk handkerchief to him. After a while, he came to take it. He looked carefully and looked up at me again. There was a complicated expression in his eyes and said, "There is really a mountain outside the mountain, and there are people outside the people. I didn't expect a small Qishan Village to see such a creeping tiger and hidden dragon. Today I saw it."

I lowered my head with a smile, but I didn't be polite to him.

Now I am talking to him about business, so there is no need to be humble or something at this time. Besides, this skill is not to mention in this embroidery workshop, even if the entire Jiangnan knows this skill, it can only be done with one hand by one. That is what I have learned with great effort, and I can afford it if I receive a praise or two.

After Boss Wang finished reading it, the people around him also took the silk handkerchief and passed it on to see it, and everyone exclaimed.

Even Yunxiang said, "Qingying, you have such good skills, why didn't you say it earlier?"

I just smiled softly.

But at this moment, Boss Wang said to me: "Mrs. Your skills are indeed a group. However, your skills are not the ability to take on such a big job. After all, this job is not something you can do alone."

My heart suddenly sank.

This boss Wang is a calm businessman. Indeed, my own skill group does not mean that I am an honest businessman. Just like Boss Gao of this embroidery workshop, he was not an embroidery person. Workers and business people were originally different things.

So, I still smiled and said, "Boss Wang's words are reasonable. But you have also seen the current situation. Boss Gao will not do it anymore, but these embroiderers still want to do it. If I want to take on this job, the employment of people is the same as in the past, but the person who handles it has changed a little."

After saying that, I turned my head to look at the embroiderers: "Would you like to stay and do it with me?"

The embroidered ladies were still a little confused and looked at me blankly. I said calmly: "All the rewards are the same as in the past. Get a job and get a money. As long as you are willing to do it, you will naturally have money and food."

After hearing what I said, they came to their senses. The embroidered ladies who had talked to me hurriedly nodded: "I do, of course we do!"

"We just need to have a job and live."

"Yes, it doesn't matter who you follow."

With them taking the lead, the other embroiderers also nodded quickly to express their willingness to do it with me.

Seeing them like this, I smiled and turned to look at Boss Wang, but saw that he was still not at ease, frowned and said, "You are so light. It is because this person who is in charge has changed, which makes people feel uneasy."

I said, "I don't know what I want to do to reassure Boss Wang?"

Boss Wang pondered for a while, looked around and said, "Well, after all, I want this batch of goods to be made soon. If everyone here can still maintain the same status, then there is no problem. But before accepting this batch of goods, you must deposit the money to me first."

"Then, how much do you want?"
