Quickly wear it with your skills

As for resting, there's no rush. I received an order from a distinguished person to embroider a beauty screen and two small inserts. Here are the dimensions of the screens, take a look."

As he handed over a piece of paper, Lan Hanlu saw that it was a high, four-fold folding screen, and it specifically required a portrait of a beautiful woman. That wasn't difficult, the most difficult part was the requirement for double-sided embroidery.

Seeing her frown, Fang Yue's heart ached. Not everyone can do double-sided embroidery, and even if someone knows this skill, it's usually not as innovative as the one this girl showed.

Otherwise, such a big capital city would not have assigned the task to her.

After carefully considering the request, Lan Hanlu looked at the nervous Fang Yue and smiled gently at her. "Don't be so nervous, sister. I can embroider this screen."

Hearing her say this, Fang Yue couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Then she heard Lan Hanyue say, "But, sister, you know this kind of request is both time-consuming and energy-consuming. I've been working on that Guanyin statue for a while now, and my eyes are almost blurry."

This is when we need to negotiate terms. Although we know that the host who can reward so many things should not be stingy, it is still better to talk about things in advance.

Fang Yue swung her handkerchief and smiled. "Sister, I understand your concerns. The embroidery cloth and silk thread are provided by the owner, and you'll receive 2000 taels of silver as wages after the embroidery is completed. Time isn't tight, either; it can be finished before the New Year. Just give me time to deliver the goods today."

But I have to tell you the truth. If you finish embroidering this screen, the labor fee is nothing. The real big deal is the reward. Also, once your reputation spreads, the price of your embroidery will go up.

Fang Yue's words couldn't have been more sincere, and Lan Hanlu was very satisfied. She quickly stood up and bowed. "Thank you for your sincerity, sister. I will need your support in the future."

Even if she was going to be a general's wife in the future, she couldn't act so arrogantly now. After all, she still depended on him for money. She had to say the necessary polite words.

Not only that, she planned to go back and make some small toys for Fang Yue's children. Fang Yue put the embroidery cloth and silk thread brought by the host family on the table.

Lan Hanlu has been through many worlds and is not the Xiaobai of her previous life. This embroidered cloth and silk thread are obviously extremely precious. It seems that what Fang Yue said is true. She needs to be more careful with this screen.

"Your Excellency means that the small insert needs to match the screen, but it doesn't have to be as exquisite as the large screen."

Fang Yue was afraid that Lan Hanlu had forgotten about the screen insertion, so she quickly mentioned it again.

Lan Hanlu nodded to show that she had listened. Next, she began to choose fabrics and cotton, and also needed to buy some embroidery thread.

After selecting all of this, Lan Hanlu frowned as she looked at the pile of things next to her.

"Don't worry, sister. Didn't you say you came here in the village donkey cart? I'll ask the waiter to deliver these things to your cart." Fang Yue was very good at observing people's expressions.

"Sister, you are so warm and generous. I have taken advantage of you today. Don't worry, I will finish the embroidery as soon as I get back. I will definitely not let you embarrass yourself in front of the noble."

Fang Yue was naturally happy to receive the promise, and ordered the waiter to take all the things left by Lan Hanlu to the vegetable market.

As for the things Lan Hanlu picked out, she put them in the backpack herself, carried it to a deserted place, and put them in the storage compartment.

Then he went to the carpenter's shop, selected the wood and ordered 20 large boxes of the same specifications and materials. The old carpenter was thin and had a pipe in his mouth.

His voice was a bit hoarse. "Your Excellency, are you preparing your dowry? Rest assured, these boxes will be made to your specifications. The quality is absolutely top-notch, and I guarantee you'll use them for thirty to fifty years without breaking down."

Lan Hanlu stuffed whatever she could get her hands on into the storage compartments. Now there were only three empty compartments left. She wanted to order a few more boxes, but she was afraid that people would get suspicious, so she had to give up.

Who knew that they would just find an excuse for her.

"Then I'll trouble you to take care of it. If the quality is good, I'll come to place an order before the New Year." Lan Hanlu promised.

"Oh, don't worry, just come and have a look when the time comes. If there's anything you don't like, I'll fix it myself." Old man Zheng was so enthusiastic, not because of how much he made from these boxes, but because he thought that if this family was going to marry off their daughter, they would also need other furniture.

Lan Hanlu came out of the carpenter's shop and went to the fur store. She wanted to order two pairs of deerskin boots for herself. They were warm, non-slip and waterproof.

Unlike cotton shoes, every time you wear them for a walk, you have to dry them before you can wear them again after you come back.

There is a faint smell of fur in the fur shop. As it is autumn, various fur products are displayed on the right hand side as soon as you enter the door.

On the left, whole pieces of fur were placed on a shelf. As Lan Hanlu entered, she was attracted by a fiery red fox fur.

This leather is in perfect condition, with fluffy hair. The color isn't a dark red, but a fiery red. The placement must have been carefully chosen by the store owner.

You can see it at first sight as soon as you enter there. Lan Hanlu sighed in her heart. Fox fur of this quality is not something she can own.

At least not for the time being, so at the waiter's request, she ordered four pairs of deerskin boots, hats, gloves, scarves, and two cloaks for herself.

She could make these herself, but they were too labor-intensive, so she made an agreement with the store to draw the designs and have them make them for her.

The owner of the shop was reluctant at first, but Lan Hanlu agreed after she added money.

The boss's eyes widened, and after several attempts, he finally agreed to let Lan Hanlu order the items without charging her any money, which was considered as a copyright fee.

You know, Lan Hanlu spent a lot of money to order these things. So she pulled out a few hat patterns and said, "Boss, this can be made into a child's hat, either a boy or a girl."

After all, few women here wear furry hats. At most, they wear a headband and earmuffs.

With the boss's warm farewell, she went to other places to purchase and customize some things mainly because there would be a drought next year.

During the famine, many shops were closed due to the overwhelming number of refugees. If you didn't prepare well and wait for that time, not only would prices skyrocket, but you wouldn't even be able to buy what you wanted.

Food, oil, salt and other things are indispensable. If you don’t store enough, you will feel insecure.

By the time Lan Hanlu went to the street corner to find the donkey cart, her storage compartment was completely full. It was unknown how many things she had bought.

It’s the nature of the storage grid. Everything has an upper limit, and each grid can only hold one item.

When I came to the donkey cart carrying the pork I had just bought, two aunts were already waiting there.
