Quick Wear Dream Qiqi
Chapter 56: The Ancient Exile Control Group 14
Meng Yuanyuan thought about it and realized that she really had no other way to make money, and her idea of making delicious snacks was not feasible.
As for why Meng Yuanyuan didn't look for her fellow villager Meng Tingting, it was simply because Meng Yuanyuan didn't want to be a sucker.
On the way to exile, she saw how clumsy and greedy Meng Tingting was.
Moreover, she probably knew how much silver Meng Tingting had on her, which was about the same as her.
Oh, Meng Tingting was also cheated of free food and drinks by Chen Haowen, and now she may not be richer than her.
So, Meng Yuanyuan prepared to go visit Meng Qiqi.
Maybe Meng Qiqi is embroidering a handkerchief at this moment.
Meng Yuanyuan took action as she thought about it. She took her embroidery supplies, carried a basket and went out to visit Meng Qiqi's house.
On the other side, Meng Qiqi was indeed sitting at the door of the room, holding an embroidery needle in one hand and an embroidery handkerchief in the other.
"Third sister! I'm here to visit your house." Meng Yuanyuan said as she knocked on the door.
Meng Qiqi inside wanted to roll her eyes, but still got up and opened the door.
When Meng Yuanyuan saw Meng Qiqi open the door, she immediately walked up to her with a smile, took Meng Qiqi's arm and walked inside.
"Third sister, it's so boring for me to embroider handkerchiefs at home alone, so I came here to keep you company." As soon as Meng Tingting entered the courtyard, she saw the embroidery in Meng Qiqi's basket.
"Wow, third sister, the patterns you embroidered are so beautiful." Meng Yuanyuan praised, her eyes wide open.
Meng Qiqi smiled slightly, did not reply, sat back in her seat and continued to concentrate on the embroidery in her hands.
Meng Yuanyuan muttered to herself, why isn't Meng Qiqi talking? I've never seen her so quiet before.
Suddenly, Meng Yuanyuan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Third sister, are you going to sell this handkerchief?"
Meng Qiqi nodded in response.
"How much can it be sold for?" Meng Yuanyuan continued to ask.
"Well... probably a few taels of silver." Meng Qiqi said after estimating.
Meng Yuanyuan was shocked when she heard this. It was so valuable! She couldn't help but secretly envy Meng Qiqi.
However, she sat next to Meng Qiqi and would sneak a peek at the embroidered handkerchief in Meng Qiqi's hands from time to time.
But in her heart, she felt envious, jealous and resentful. Why didn't she have this skill? The original owner was really something. She didn't even leave her any memory.
No matter how much she looked at the embroidered handkerchief in Meng Qiqi's hand, she couldn't see any patterns. She was completely confused by the way Meng Qiqi threaded the needle back and forth.
Meng Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and said to Meng Qiqi with a smile, "Third sister, your cooking skills are really good. Why don't you teach me?"
"Isn't second sister very good at embroidery? How come it is my younger sister's turn to teach her?" Meng Qiqi said perfunctorily.
"Ah? Well, sister, it's not because of the changes in my family that I have almost forgotten the embroidery skills. I want to start learning embroidery skills again. You can teach me!" Meng Yuanyuan just thought of such a lame excuse and said to Meng Qiqi.
Meng Qiqi no longer continued to pester Meng Yuanyuan about how she had forgotten the embroidery skills. She raised her head and looked at Meng Yuanyuan, thinking that it was not impossible to teach her, but she had to let her know the value of this craft.
So Meng Qiqi said, "I can teach you, but learning a craft is not something that can be done in a day or two. It requires patience and perseverance. Also, I can't teach you for free. You have to agree to one condition of mine."
Meng Yuanyuan hurriedly asked: "What are the conditions?"
Meng Qiqi said, "First, pay the tuition of ten taels of silver, and then you have to give me half of the money you earn from selling handkerchiefs."
After hearing this, Meng Yuanyuan thought to herself that this condition was acceptable, so she readily agreed.
In the next few days, Meng Yuanyuan began to learn embroidery from Meng Qiqi. Although the progress was slow, she gradually mastered some basic embroidery techniques.
Although Meng Qiqi was teaching Meng Yuanyuan the basic embroidery skills, Meng Yuanyuan had to bring her own sewing kit and fabric handkerchief.
To be honest, the fabric of Meng Yuanyuan's handkerchief is a bit too rough.
But it is also possible for beginners like Meng Yuanyuan.
The moonlight fell quietly like flowing water, and half a month had slipped away silently.
After half a month of teaching from Meng Qiqi, Meng Yuanyuan has already mastered some basic embroidery skills.
Now I can embroider some small samples of flowers and grass.
That day, Meng Yuanyuan followed Meng Qiqi to Desert City to sell embroidered handkerchiefs.
When they arrived at Desert City, Meng Qiqi and Meng Yuanyuan found a crowded place and set up their stall.
Meng Qiqi placed her exquisite handkerchief in a prominent position, while Meng Yuanyuan nervously put hers aside.
Not long after, a customer came to Meng Qiqi's stall and was attracted by her exquisite handkerchiefs.
Meng Qiqi enthusiastically introduced her works to the customers and quickly closed a deal.
Seeing Meng Qiqi's success, Meng Yuanyuan was also encouraged and began to take the initiative to greet passers-by.
Although she was a little shy at first, she gradually became proficient over time.
Meng Yuanyuan also sold a few handkerchiefs later. Although the price was not as high as Meng Qiqi's, the price of one handkerchief still earned her a good income.
Just then, a gorgeously dressed woman stopped in front of Meng Qiqi's stall.
She picked up a handkerchief and looked at the embroidery on it carefully, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Miss, did you embroider this yourself?" The woman wanted to confirm it carefully.
"Yes, I embroidered all of this myself." Meng Qiqi replied with a smile.
The woman praised Meng Qiqi's craftsmanship and said she wanted to buy several handkerchiefs and asked if she could customize handkerchiefs with other patterns.
Meng Qiqi readily agreed and discussed the specific design and price with the woman.
In the end, the two reached a deal for a large order.
Meng Qiqi was very happy. This order not only brought her considerable income, but also allowed her to meet a potential long-term customer.
Meng Yuanyuan watched from the side, but was jealous that Meng Qiqi got a big order.
She secretly made up her mind to study embroidery harder, hoping that one day her embroidery skills would surpass Meng Qiqi's.
The proceeds from the sale of a few handkerchiefs had dampened her good mood.
At this time, Meng Yuanyuan was extremely jealous of Meng Qiqi because she got a big order.
The woman agreed on the order requirements with Meng Qiqi, paid the deposit, and left, gradually disappearing in the crowd.
"Wow, sister, you are really amazing. You can get such a big order." Meng Yuanyuan said with a sarcastic look on her face.
Meng Qiqi didn't want to pay attention to her. The embroidery she brought had been sold out, so she started packing up to go home.
"I think you are just lucky to have met a big client. If it were me, I would definitely be able to do better." Meng Yuanyuan said relentlessly.
Meng Qiqi stopped, looked back at Meng Yuanyuan, and said calmly: "Sister, opportunities always come to those who are prepared."
"If you really want to learn embroidery, you should be down-to-earth instead of just envying others." After saying that, she turned and left.
Meng Qiqi decided in her heart not to continue teaching Meng Yuanyuan embroidery.
Such a person will always be an ungrateful person no matter what happens in the future.
Meng Yuanyuan was left standing there with a jealous expression on her face.
Of course, she realized that she was anxious and her mentality was also wrong at this time.
