Chapter 830 Beads
Seeing that she was imitating her, Ming Yi quickly ran in and kissed her mother on the face.
After the kiss, I felt something was wrong and wanted to do it again.
Fu Jingyou couldn't tolerate his ink stains, so she took him and walked out.
Mingyi stopped and looked back:
"Dad kissed mom on the mouth and I haven't kissed him yet?"
"..."
Fu Jingyou was speechless for a while and said calmly:
"Mom's lips can only be touched by dad." Dear.”
“Why?”
Mingyi puffed up his face and stamped his feet, and his cute and childish face soon showed some clarity:
"Mom is partial!"
Fu Jingyou pushed his head and walked out:
< br>"Hurry up! With such ink marks...you won't be able to get the little red flower if you are late."
Mingyi was frightened by his father again.
Thinking of the little red flower, the silly boy took the initiative to take the small schoolbag, put it on his back and ran out.
“Smelly boy.”
Fu Jingyou shook his head.
“Let’s go, aunt.”
“Hey, be careful on the road.”
"Got it."
Saying hello to the kitchen, Fu Jingyou and the children left the house.
......
In the room, Lu Miao slept until eleven o'clock.
When I woke up, there was no one around me.
The warm kang is simply not too comfortable.
She hugged the quilt, straightened her legs and stretched herself, rolling over and over several times.
If Tang Mei hadn't called her several times and said she was ready to have lunch, she would have wanted to sleep until the afternoon.
Twenty-nine years ago, I contacted Ma Tou by phone. Ma Tou acted quickly and found people he knew and got the things quickly.
At this time, the postal service is an important communication service department. The working hours have been shortened and adjusted during the Spring Festival, but the doors are still open normally.
Although the post office delivery is currently slow, the timing is just right.
The package that was mailed out on the second day of the new year happened to avoid the peak period of the Spring Festival and the start of the major colleges and universities after the new year.
The things were on the road for seven or eight days and arrived two days ago.
Lu Miao has been busy and has no time to inspect the goods. This holiday is a good time to catch up.
After packing a large package of hair rope and hair tie samples and sending them to Ma Tou, Lu Miao turned around and started looking at the goods from Guangzhou this time.
There are two big bags in total.
One package that remains constant is the various fabrics needed for hair ropes.
The other pack contains various small accessories.
Lu Miao had a blast shopping all the larger department stores in northern Beijing.
After shopping so many times, she found some clues.
Jewelry items such as earrings, necklaces, etc. are also sold in department store windows.
The beading craftsmanship is quite good, but the only difference lies in the quality of the material.
Most of them are made of brightly colored, gluey and inferior plastic materials.
For example, some pearls are white plastic beads coated with a thin layer of pearlescent skin.
If you scratch it with a little force, the bottom inside will be exposed...
At first, Lu Miao thought these jewelry were the same as those bright silk head flowers.
They are all "high-end" products for children.
Back then I saw many young girls looking around the counter, and I realized that was not the case.
I was confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully I figured it out.
Plastic is a new material, the historical background is here, and the types of items are limited.
It is not difficult to understand the popularity of this kind of "jewelry" in the market.
The basic price range is 5-15 yuan. No matter how good the quality is, or the workmanship is more complicated, the price will be higher.
Compared with the working conditions and salary, it is really not cheap.
As for Lu Miao, she thinks the price is okay based on the handmade craftsmanship.
If you look at it in terms of quality, it seems almost boring.
There is a lot of water here, and as long as you find the right materials, you can easily achieve results. Lu Miao went to Ma Tou with the mentality of giving it a try.
I didn’t expect that Guangzhou is Guangzhou.
It is worthy of being one of the first cities to open up international trade at the forefront.
Ma Tou found almost everything she wanted.
There are even more types and more complete ones.
Lu Miao took out the small cloth pockets from the bag in turn.
We have everything from imitation pearls, millet beads, beads, buckles, metal chains, etc.
There were about a dozen pockets. Because I only looked at the quality for the first time, I didn’t buy more. Most of the pockets contained one pound.
There is a receipt at the bottom of the big bag. Cheap materials cost 22 to 26 yuan per pound.
The most expensive ones are the natural pearl millet beads.
Sixty-two yuan per pound, the size is between two millimeters and four millimeters, and the quality is mixed.
Because it was not cheap, Ma Tou did not dare to buy more, and only weighed half a catty.
After grabbing two handfuls and looking at the situation, Lu Miao tied the bag tightly and turned to look at something else.
Imitation pearls are made by adding pigments to plastic to create beads with a color similar to pearls. They are not the kind with skinned surfaces.
The color alone is good, but the texture is inferior when put together with natural pearls.
Other beads and millet beads with many cross-sections are mostly made of colored glaze.
Lu Miao took some out and took a look. The gloss and texture looked good. There were no other problems except that there were small bubbles inside.
The large beads are more obvious, while the small beads are less visible.
But if you consider making a high-quality product, you still have to be selective when using it again.
After finishing the meal at home, Lu Miao rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find something.
I took the leftover fishing line that my father used to make fishing rods and went to the small courtyard of the factory.
The courtyard was originally going to have a holiday for the Lantern Festival, but the sisters-in-law refused.
A day's work is a day's profit.
Experiencing the joy of counting money every day, the sisters-in-law’s work becomes more enjoyable and more energetic.
To be honest, I really wish it was open all year round.
Lu Miao does not force people to work overtime, but everyone is willing to come and work. She must be happy.
In the small courtyard, they were joking and working outside. Across the door, Lu Miao was sitting in the office playing with the beads.
When she first came into contact with it, she was eager to experiment, so she didn’t try too complicated styles, and only made a short string according to her favorite color series.
Later on, I felt that when the beads were nested into a ring, it looked like a finger ring.
She gestured with the thickness of her fingers, tied a knot and closed her mouth.
Not to mention, it’s quite unique.
Lu Miao put the rice bead ring on her hand, spread her fingers and looked at it front and back.
It’s not enough to just be satisfied, so he asked Meizi to come in and take a look.
Originally, she was worried about whether her aesthetics were consistent with the current masses' aesthetics, but she put her fingers together and stretched out her hand before she could say anything.
Meizi held the front half of her hand and said in surprise:
"Ah, sister-in-law, did you buy this or make this? It's so beautiful!"
"Huh?"
Lu Miao raised her eyebrows, swallowed back the first thing she wanted to ask, and asked instead:
"Do you think it looks good?"
Mei Zi nodded hurriedly:
“It’s beautiful! How beautiful it is!”
“…”
Lu Miao’s eyes twinkled, and her plump red rose lips curled up slightly. With a beautiful curve of joy, she pulled Meizi to look at the other items on the table:
"I made several. Do you like any of them? Just pick one and give it to you."
"Really?"
Mei Zi was very surprised and looked at it seriously.
Each color scheme is very fresh and clear, and both texture and style have never been seen before.
Mei Zi likes everyone.
But her fingers were obviously thicker than Lu Miao's. Lu Miao gestured at the ring made with his own fingers, but she could only get it stuck on the second knuckle of her finger.
Meizi sighed, a little regretful.
"Pick the one you like from here, and I will make a new one for you."
Lu Miao said with a gentle smile, pampering her infinitely.
