Chapter 52 (1/2)
”Sister Shui, do you really stop thinking about it?” Xicui confirms it for the third time.
”Well, to finish this mat, I need to sew two thicker Chinese clothes for Yao.” Su Shuizhen smiles and politely refuses to like Cui's kindness.
When the weather turned cold, Lin Sixiao was still wearing only two single clothes. Even though the cotton jacket and winter robe had been made for a long time, he was not used to wearing them at home. However, if you look at her, she has already been wrapped in a cotton padded jacket. Early in the morning, the river also showed signs of freezing. If it gets colder, it will be the triple Ninth Festival of snow and ice. Therefore, she planned to sew two thicker mezzanine middle coats for him as soon as she finished her work.
Lower your head and go on flying. Yes, this black bear skin has no smell after being sprayed with burning knife by linsiyan.
These days, taking advantage of the good weather, I quickly dried it again, rubbed it again, dried it again, until it was soft and tasteless, and then combed it gently with a fine grate until all the debris was removed, and the whole fur appeared smooth and shiny.
Later, she cut the bear like black bear fur into several pieces. According to the size of the pulling bed, she wanted to sew it into a rectangular fur plate. Although the stitching is still insufficient for the size of the big bed, how happy it is to be able to have a thick and soft black bear skin under the body in the winter night.
Ha ha Su Shuipeng thought of this, and some of them could not help bending the beautiful lips.
”Sister Shui...” When Xi Cui saw Su Shuijin's expression at this time, she knew that she was wandering in the sky again. Helplessly called. ”That's six Liang.” She added weakly. Try to persuade her to take the embroidery job.
The owner of ”yueyun embroidery building” invited her to come upstairs to have a talk when she went to hand in the embroidery. It's learned that the last time the Phoenix seeks a mate was mainly by Su Shuifu, who put forward with great interest that this new embroidery, the drunken concubine, should be done by Su Shuifu himself. Liu Liang is only the basic wage. If the finished embroidery work is of high quality, it will surely give a large reward like the Phoenix courting her.
The owner's wife also revealed that the ”drunken Concubine” was one of the annual gifts presented by the Lord of Fanluo city to the officials of Jindu city at the end of the year. There must be no mistake.
Therefore, Xicui has calculated that if she can still keep the quality of ”seeking a mate with a phoenix” this time, she will get at least eight liang of silver.
Eight Liang! I think her mother has worked hard for most of her life, and the silver she saved is only about 20.
Now, if Su Shuifu nods to do this embroidery work, within two months, he will be able to earn enough silver that ordinary farmers need to spend more than ten years of hard work and meticulous calculation.
If she likes Cui to have this ability, eight Liang silver will be enough for her to buy a large number of luxury items she has long yearned for to enrich her dowry.
Of course, she's just daydreaming. Last time, that pair of ”Phoenix courtship” made her earn so much money that she didn't dare to think about it before. It's time to snigger. And still in Su Shuifu's efforts to help, otherwise, with their own embroidery workers, even on-time delivery is not likely to get the full amount of silver.
Therefore, Xi Cui is very confident in the embroidery work of Su Shuifu.
The problem is, the key figures haven't agreed to take this embroidery job. Xicui really doesn't understand. Why should Su Shuifu refuse such a good opportunity? Eight Liang, is it enough for her and Lin Si Yao to spend three years on the loose land?
”Xicui, I promised that he would not be able to embroider in limited time.” Su Shuigui explained with a shy smile.
Since it is to be offered before, there must be a time limit. Now it's the fifth day of November. It's less than two months since the Spring Festival. After the completion of the embroidery work, the embroidery building also needs a series of processes such as sizing, bleaching, drying, softening, mounting, etc. Then, the time left to embroider Niang is only one month at most.
However, in order to complete the ”drunken Concubine” which is about five meters wide and two meters high and is estimated to be used to make eight large folding screens, it will take a month to deal with it in the daytime, except for three meals, at her previous embroidery speed.
Therefore, once she agrees, it means that she will have a full month to deal with it regardless of linsyao's mood.
Although the six Liang silver has a lot of money, since she promised that she would never take such a time-consuming job to oppress her nerves, she did not want to violate this promise. What's more, she has to make two suits of Chinese clothes for him, a pair of new cotton boots and a pair of indoor cotton shoes for each of them. It will take her more than ten days to do these works alone. Where is there enough time for such a compact embroidery work.
”But Eight Liang alas...... ” Xicui sees that Su Shuifu still refuses to take over, but she collapses her shoulders. In fact, it has nothing to do with her at all. Even if Su Shuizhen received the embroidery work, the embroidery building didn't say that she would be rewarded with silver. She just can't bear the silver with eight white flowers. Even if it wasn't in her pocket. She didn't give up either.
