Evil Sister in Charge: As long as you are thick-skinned, you can eat meat every meal

Chapter 85: Grandparents and grandchildren with completely different styles

"Grandma, we're at the embroidery room. I'll go in with you. Let's buy some fabric and ask Grandma Wu to make some clothes for them."

Zhou Sisi parked the donkey cart in front of the door of Zhiyun Pavilion, the largest embroidery studio in Sishui Town.

This embroidery room not only sells embroidery products, but also fabrics and ready-made clothes. There are special embroiderers in the shop who can customize clothes according to the customer's requirements. The service is quite good.

The other three stayed on the donkey cart, while Zhou Sisi and Zhou Pozi, the grandparents and grandchildren, went into the embroidery room alone.

Zhou Sisi is not a person who likes to dress up. She only cares about her clothes being clean and comfortable, so she doesn’t understand the difference between these fancy fabrics.

The servants in the embroidery room were all girls. When they saw the grandparents and grandchildren come in, they hurried forward to greet them.

"Hello, sir. You can take a look first. I can introduce you if you need anything." The waiter was a girl with a round face. She looked like a very smart type.

"I want to ask if you sell embroidery here? This is embroidered by my granddaughter. Can you help introduce her to your shopkeeper?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and took out the handkerchief that Zhou Zhaodi had handed to her in the morning and handed it to the waiter.

"Yes, our boss is on the second floor, please come this way!" The round-faced waiter was very enthusiastic. He did not frown even though they were dressed simply. He smiled and invited the two to go upstairs.

The grandparents followed her up to the second floor. The decoration of the second floor was very elegant, which once again refreshed Zhou Sisi's understanding of the aesthetic taste of the ancients.

Exquisite clothing and various embroidered small decorations are hung on each log-style display shelf, including large screens and small round fans and handkerchiefs. In short, each one is very exquisite.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two soon met the owner of Zhiyun Pavilion, a very dignified and beautiful woman, about forty years old, with a very gentle and generous smile.

After the young man went over and whispered a few words, the shopkeeper came over with a smile.

"Are you going to sell embroidery?"

"Hello, shopkeeper. This is embroidered by my granddaughter. Please take a look. She has difficulty walking, so I want to help her get some embroidery work."

Mrs. Zhou handed over the handkerchief in her hand. Taking on an embroidery job also depends on the embroidery skills. Not just anyone can take it. If the technical skills are not up to standard, there is no chance. Others will also worry that you will ruin the reputation of the shop!

The female shopkeeper took the handkerchief and looked at the stitches, then held it up to the light and shadow. Her craftsmanship was barely acceptable, but the fine details were still not good enough.

Zhou Sisi had already walked away. She had no intention of interfering in Zhou Zhaodi's affairs anyway. However, she was very interested in these round fans.

In her previous life, she traveled to an ancient town in the south and fell in love with a round silk fan. There was a cute kitten on the front and a sunset picture on the back. She asked the price and ran away.

The main reason is that she can't afford it. A fan costs tens of thousands of yuan. Is she crazy or stupid to spend so much money on a fan that can only fan air?

Although she also respected the craftsmen, the price was a bit disrespectful to her as a poor person. Anyway, she didn't deserve to own such a good thing.

Now she actually saw similar double-sided embroidered fans in this shop, each one was very exquisite. The craftsmanship of the ancients was really amazing, so she began to get excited and wanted to know the price.

She is going to be rich in gold soon, and these things should have been very common in ancient times. They shouldn't be as outrageously expensive as they are now!

"Little beauty, how did you buy this fan?"

Zhou Sisi directly repeated the words she used to greet girls in her previous life. She called all girls beautiful, even an old lady, and all boys handsome. It was a very common thing.

The round-faced boy immediately blushed like an apple. This was the first time someone called him a beauty, and a little beauty at that. He felt very happy.

"Sir, you can just call me Xiaohong. I'm not some pretty lady! Hehehe!"

"This round fan costs five taels of silver. If you buy two, you can get a discount of one tael. Two fans cost nine taels of silver!" The young man blushed as he told the price of the fan.

"I just think you're beautiful! All right then! Little Red Beauty, I'll take two!"

"This one with the butterfly, and the one with the orchid at the back, help me wrap them up!"

This price was completely beyond Zhou Sisi's expectations. It was such a good deal. If she didn't buy it, when would she buy it?

"Okay, I'll help you wrap it right away!" Xiaohong's face turned even redder. She laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared when she heard Zhou Sisi's words. She bared her big teeth and happily went to help Zhou Sisi pack the fan.

In fact, Zhou Sisi thought it was cheap because of her previous experience. Others didn't think so. Nine taels of silver were enough for a small family to use for a year if they were frugal.

Thinking of the three people on the donkey cart, Zhou Sisi bought three pieces of cloth suitable for making outerwear. For summer, just choose the kind of breathable and cool cloth that can absorb sweat and be breathable when worn while working.

When Zhou Sisi chose to pay together, the female shopkeeper of Zhiyun Pavilion looked at her several times on purpose. She really didn't understand what was going on between this old man and this child.

This person came together, and she also heard the young and beautiful girl calling the old woman "grandma".

One of them came to take the job and rushed to take the job of embroidering a handkerchief for fifteen cents, while the other one offered to pay more than ten taels without even blinking an eye. She was completely confused.

After the grandparents and grandchildren got on the donkey cart, when Zhou Sisi took out the cloth, she realized that Han Yue Niang could actually make clothes, and she immediately gave the task of making clothes to her.

When the three of them found out that the cloth was bought for them, they were so moved that they almost cried and thanked her again and again. Zhou Sisi immediately stopped them. She was most afraid of sentimentality, which would make her feel uncomfortable and give her goose bumps all over her body.

Zhou Sisi looked at her grandmother who was staring at the work in her hands with great satisfaction and smiling foolishly. She couldn't help but curl her lips. This old lady would probably soon find out what it meant to mean well but end up with a bad outcome.

Mrs. Zhou assigned Zhou Zhaodi the job of embroidering five handkerchiefs. The labor fee for each handkerchief was fifteen cents. The embroidery patterns, embroidery needles and embroidery threads were all provided by Zhiyun Pavilion.

Zhou Yinhua learned embroidery skills from an old maid who came from the palace. The old maid had received help from Zhou Pozi before, so she was willing to teach her daughter.

Mrs. Zhou's original intention was that her younger daughter was gentle in nature, not as lively as her elder daughter, and was the type who could sit still. After all, embroidery was a skill, and maybe she could support herself after learning it.

Zhou Yinhua is indeed a talented contestant in this area. The things she embroidered are very spiritual. However, Zhou Zhaodi only learned a little bit from Zhou Yinhua and did not study very hard, so her embroidery skills are not very good.

You have to know that the money from Zhou Yinhua's embroidery sales can support the whole family. I guess Zhou Zhaodi has a hard time supporting herself. What's more, if Liu Cuilan knew that she made money by embroidering, the money would never go into Zhou Zhaodi's pocket.

Liu Cuilan must be thinking about how to get more money from Zhou Zhaodi every day.

In addition, Zhou Zhaodi has poor legs and feet, so when she hands over the handkerchief in the future, she will definitely have to ask Zhou Po for help. Liu Cuilan might even think that Zhou Po took money from Zhou Zhaodi to help her, which would cause another chaos.

It was for this reason that Zhou Sisi didn't want to meddle in other people's business. She wanted to let her grandmother know that sometimes good intentions don't always lead to good results, and may even cause trouble.
