Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

After Meng Qiqi returned home, she put the basket containing the sewing box and blank handkerchiefs on the table and took out all the items she would use to embroider peach blossoms.

She sat on a stool and began to embroider a handkerchief in the light that came through the doorway of the room.

Meng Qiqi first spread the handkerchief flat on the table, and then carefully picked out a pink silk thread.

She gently threaded the silk thread with the needle and then carefully inserted the needle into the corner of the handkerchief.

Then, she used delicate needlework to embroider a small peach blossom petal along the edge of the handkerchief.

She is focused and devoted with every stitch, as if she is creating a work of art.

She carefully chooses the colors of the silk threads to make the color gradient of the flowers natural and charming.

As time goes by, the shape of the peach blossoms becomes clearer.

Meng Qiqi carefully filled the stamens to make it more three-dimensional and vivid.

Finally, she embroidered a few leaves with green silk thread, adding a touch of vitality to the whole flower.

After finishing, Meng Qiqi looked at her work with satisfaction. A lifelike peach blossom bloomed on the handkerchief, exuding tranquility and beauty.

Her embroidery skills have improved a lot.

Although, some of it is also blessed according to the embroidery method in memory.

Meng Qiqi looked up at the sky outside. It was already getting dark.

He stood up and moved his body left and right and up and down.

Today is not a wasted day.

At least, she completed a peach blossom handkerchief today.

If you calculate carefully, winter here still has more than a month to go.

So, Meng Qiqi spent several hours every day focusing on embroidery for more than a month.

She experimented with a variety of floral patterns like roses, peonies, daisies, and more.

Each type of flower requires her to carefully select the color of silk thread and use different needlework and techniques.

Sometimes, she would encounter some difficulties during the embroidery process, such as how to show the texture of the petals or how to make the color transition more natural.

But she was not discouraged. Instead, she patiently studied and practiced until she found the most suitable method.

As her craftsmanship improved, Meng Qiqi's handkerchiefs became more and more exquisite.

Not content with simple floral patterns, she began experimenting with more complex compositions and designs.

She added elements such as insects and birds to make the handkerchief more vivid and interesting.

Finally, when she finished the last handkerchief, the whole room was filled with colorful and lifelike handkerchiefs.

Each piece is the result of her inspiration during this period, and also demonstrates her talent and hard work.

Meng Qiqi looked at her work with a sense of accomplishment. In a few days, these handkerchiefs would become her silver.

The weather is gradually getting warmer now.

She didn't want to stay in hibernation any longer and was ready to go out and see what was happening outside.

Although she has been here for more than a month, there are still many things she doesn't know about the outside world.

The next morning, Meng Qiqi carefully packed up the fruits of her labor for more than a month and set off for Desert City.

The Desert City was not far from where she lived, but the scenery along the way felt strange and novel to her.

The last time the yamen guards brought them here, she hadn't paid much attention to the scenery along the way.

After an hour's journey, Meng Qiqi finally arrived at the Desert City.

This time entering the Desert City was more lively than the last time she had been there. The streets and alleys were crowded with people, and all kinds of sounds and smells were intertwined.

Meng Qiqi found a conspicuous place and spread out the handkerchiefs one by one.

The exquisite embroidery and unique design immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by, who gathered around and asked about the price.

Meng Qiqi happily quoted the price she had in mind, but to her surprise, the customers not only did not bargain, but instead praised her handkerchiefs for being great value for money.

Soon, all her handkerchiefs were sold out. Meng Qiqi took the money she earned and happily bought all the daily necessities she needed in Desert City.

Meng Qiqi began looking for a store that sold blank handkerchiefs.

She walked along the street, paying close attention to the shops on both sides.

Finally, she saw a small shop filled with all kinds of handkerchiefs.

When she walked into the store, Meng Qiqi saw a wide variety of handkerchiefs and she started to choose excitedly.

The owner enthusiastically introduced her to handkerchiefs of different materials and styles. Meng Qiqi listened carefully and selected some high-quality blank handkerchiefs.

She held the newly bought blank handkerchiefs in her hand, and had already thought of the patterns for the next batch of handkerchiefs in her mind.

After paying, Meng Qiqi left the store contentedly.

Then, she found a nice restaurant and went in to have lunch. She looked at the menu and found that there were very few varieties of dishes, only about ten in total.

However, since it was a poor area, the limited variety was understandable, so she ordered three dishes, a soup and a bowl of rice.

It didn't take long before her meal was brought to her by the waiter in the store.

After tasting a few dishes, Meng Qiqi found that they tasted just average. She originally wanted to just leave without paying.

But as soon as she got up, she saw everyone around her looking at her in surprise.

So, Meng Qiqi sat back on the stool awkwardly and continued to eat the meal which was not too bad.

After Meng Qiqi finished her meal, she continued to wander around the city.

After she left the Desert City, she encountered a group of bandits on her way home.

With ferocious looks on their faces, they blocked her way in a threatening manner and forced her to hand over her belongings.

Meng Qiqi hugged the bag containing the handkerchief and silver tightly, facing the group of bandits opposite without any fear.

Seeing this, the bandits approached her waving swords and trying to rob her by force.

Meng Qiqi dodged sideways flexibly and used the surrounding environment to counterattack.

She grabbed a stone and accurately hit a bandit on the head, temporarily incapacitating him.

Seeing this, the other bandits rushed towards Meng Qiqi even more angrily.

She moved back and forth in the small space, skillfully avoiding attacks, trying to find an opportunity to escape.

Suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to have a magical weapon that could slap the bandits, so he put on a transparent glove and started slapping the bandits.

She hardly used any strength, but in a short while, the bandits were beaten black and blue.

The bandits were beaten by her until they screamed and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Meng Qiqi took the opportunity to threaten them to hand over all their belongings, otherwise she would not let them go.

The bandits had no choice but to do as they were told and handed over the two 1,000-tael silver notes and fifty taels of silver to Meng Qiqi.

After Meng Qiqi collected the money, she warned the bandits not to let her see them again, and then left the scene in a cool manner.

With the silver she robbed, Meng Qiqi was in a very good mood and returned home smoothly.

This is more than what she earned from her hard work embroidering!

She sold thirty-three handkerchiefs in Desert City today, each handkerchief costing only five taels of silver, for a total of one hundred and sixty-five taels of silver.

Now, adding the silver from the bandits, today's income is equivalent to two thousand two hundred and fifteen taels of silver.

Wow!

By this calculation, it’s quite a lot of money.

The ordinary people here only earn about a hundred taels of silver a year.

After all, buying anything here is so expensive!

Naturally, the things sold are also expensive.

I feel that the handkerchiefs she sold today seemed to have reached the lowest price.

The price of a blank handkerchief was one hundred copper coins, and ten handkerchiefs cost one tael of silver.

This is without all the stitching!

However, it can also be considered as a way to kill time when I stay at home.

Treat yourself to a feast tonight!

Fish in milk soup, white snow fish with celery, traditional hot soup, sour fish soup, bean curd rolls, all of these seem to be good.

Meng Qiqi came to the kitchen, cleaned the fish first, and cut it into pieces for later use.

Then, she lit the stove, poured in a proper amount of oil, and added onions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry.

Then she added the chopped fish and pan-fried it until golden brown on both sides.

Then she poured in milk, broth and various seasonings in turn and cooked until the soup thickened.

While waiting for the soup to boil, Meng Qiqi started making bean curd rolls.

She spread out the tofu skin, put in the vegetables and meat filling, rolled it up and secured it with toothpicks.

After the soup boils, Meng Qiqi puts the tofu rolls into the pot, and after they are cooked, she takes them out and puts them on a plate.

Finally, she served the white snow celery and other dishes on the table and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
