Chapter 953: Lament
Fine work comes from fine work, and good things cannot be rushed.
Cheng Yingjie thinks it's okay to wait for the construction deadline.
Cheng Yingjie asked Lu Miao the price. Lu Miao thought for a while and said:
"The plain cloth is thirty-five feet, and the embroidery depends on the situation. The one you asked about is seventy-one feet."
Cheng Yingjie thought about it for a while and then responded.
He wanted a three-hundred-foot embroidered one, the kind Lu Miao wore before.
Not everyone can afford silk and silk satin.
This time it is mainly to meet the requirements of those wealthy ladies, so the quantity does not need to be too large.
It even has to be sold in limited quantities to get a better price...
Lu Miao accepted the job and hung up the phone after saying she would call him back later.
Today is the winter solstice, and Fu Jingyou happens to be resting at home.
Lu Miao got dressed neatly, found out the leftover fabrics and put them in her bag, and pulled Fu Jingyou to go out.
As soon as they reached the gate, they bumped into Gu Ying and Xie Fei, both of whom were carrying a thin strip of pork in their hands.
Lu Miao shifted her position.
When Xie Fei entered the house carrying pork, she stood at the door and held hands with Gu Ying intimately and chatted:
"What are you bringing the meat for? You two won't eat it? Today is the winter solstice!"
Gu Ying smiled and said:
"We only brought the meat here during the winter solstice. It was deserted over there, so I thought we might as well stop cooking and shamelessly come here to have a meal."
Lu Miao glared at her:
"Look what you said."
Having said that, Lu Miao lowered her voice:
"Didn't you go back there today?"
Gu Ying shook her head:
"I just rushed back."
We originally said we would come back after lunch, but we ended up getting very noisy when we got along.
Gu Ying thought that it was a rare trip back, so she might as well endure it to save face.
Xie Fei can't.
After the previous quarrel, Xie Fei became even more angry and pulled her back.
Lu Miao nodded and said:
"He now knows to protect you, which is a good thing."
Apart from this, Lu Miao didn't know what to say.
Very sad.
Lu Miao didn't even know what Yang Yun was thinking.
Yang Yun's only son, Xie Fei, was in so much pain in the past.
Now the young couple are so troubled that they usually don't go back and don't talk about it.
I finally went back for the holidays, but I still don’t know how to restrain myself.
As a result, now my son and daughter-in-law do not eat at their own home, but carry their things to eat at other people's homes. What is this?
"Okay, it's cold outside, you go inside first! Brother You and I are going out to do some errands. When we come back later, we will make dumplings to eat together!"
"Yeah."
Looking at each other and smiling, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou went out to do errands.
Gu Ying called Tang Mei "little aunt" and came into the room to chat with a smile.
……
As for the old master's situation, Subu is twenty-five feet tall.
Plain cloth is also divided into categories, such as plain cloth with solid colors.
Some common mechanical printing processes on the market are also included in the specifications of plain cloth, and the prices are the same.
Embroidery is a manual reprocessing, so the situation must be counted separately.
The price generally requires an additional 7 to 15 yuan per square foot.
Lu Miao's quotation to Cheng Yingjie included his own commission.
She went to communicate with the old master about the situation, and the old master was a little surprised. For a craftsman, three hundred feet of embroidery material is no small order.
Master Zhou touched the materials she brought over, thought for a while and said:
"There are only two people here including me who can embroider. It will take three hundred feet. The fastest... I guess it will have to wait until the end of February. Is it too late?"
Lu Miao said truthfully:
"I can't say this now. I have to go back and ask again. If you are sure that you can do it during this construction period, I will ask them for permission and come back tomorrow."
"Whatever can be done, can be done."
Master Zhou nodded quickly:
"There is a phone number at the entrance of the alley. I will write you a number. If you need something later, you can call me directly. You don't have to go there in person."
Lu Miao thought it was okay, so she remembered the phone number here.
Then she started walking back. When she and Fu Jingyou arrived home, Tang Mei and Gu Ying were mixing noodles and stuffing at the end of the long table.
On the other side, Xie Fei was like a child king, holding Bai Chuan in his arms, doing homework with Shi An and Mingyi.
They pushed the door open and came in. Everyone in the room turned their heads, and the children became noisy and excited:
"Uncle!"
"Dad, Mom!"
The TV was blaring, the chimney stove was burning, and the room was lively and warm, creating a warm and harmonious scene.
Lu Miao pretended to be serious and pressed her hands down to prevent the children from making noise;
"Do your homework well, and when the dough is ready, you can make two of them."
The children laughed and shouted, "Great!" and quickly and obediently continued to look down at their homework.
Xie Fei's teapot was already empty, and he had no time to refill it with the child in his arms.
When Fu Jingyou saw it, he brought a thermos kettle and refilled some hot tea for both of them.
Afterwards, he took the child and sat at the table with Xie Fei to chat.
Lu Miao called Cheng Yingjie back amid their chatting and the sounds of the children mumbling about math and reading texts.
After deciding that Cheng Yingjie could wait and was determined to do so, Lu Miao mentioned the payment.
She used to do cultural promotions. Master Zhou knew her identity and didn't know that she had resigned. Out of his trust in her, Master Zhou didn't ask for a deposit.
But Lu Miao felt that if she could realize this, she shouldn't wait for others to mention it.
This thing is manual work, and it takes a lot of effort. Once you do it, you can't change it easily.
If something goes wrong in the middle, the materials may have to be accumulated in hand, and no suitable buyer can be found.
Lu Miao explained the general situation to Cheng Yingjie and asked for half and half.
Give him half the deposit first, and then give him the rest when the goods arrive.
Master Zhou trusted her. Cheng Yingjie had worked with her many times, and he took the initiative to ask her to do this, so he naturally trusted her.
Cheng Yingjie made it clear on the phone that he would remit money to her today.
Lu Miao said yes, hung up the phone and went to the factory courtyard.
Ask the finance manager to pay attention to the bank in the past two days to confirm that the money has been credited and notify her as soon as possible.
After finishing all these things, Lu Miao went home to celebrate the festival in a down-to-earth manner.
Pork is hard to buy, and pork for the holidays is even harder to buy.
However, it was cold, so the pork hung under the eaves of the courtyard and would not go bad. The Fu family had started to buy pork a few days ago.
In addition to the dumplings with pork and green onion fillings and pork and lotus root fillings that Gu Ying and Xie Fei brought today, they were actually wrapped in several sheets.
During dinner, the edge of the long table was happily occupied.
Gu Ying had no appetite these days.
It was the first time she ate dumplings stuffed with pork and lotus root. It felt fresh. In addition, it was dipped in vinegar, which opened up her appetite a lot and made her eat deliciously.
The meat that was brought over was just that, and she ate a lot. Xie Fei wanted to keep close to her, so he didn't have the nerve to eat more.
Not to mention that the elders couldn't do it and let him do it without eating, even Lu Miao couldn't do it.
Lu Miao took Xie Fei's bowl and filled a large bowl for him:
"Come here for a meal and it will be delicious. If you don't miss this one bite, you won't be allowed to come here after this bad thing happens!"
Xie Fei blushed and nodded obediently.
He then let go and ate the dumplings with big mouthfuls.
Tang Mei smiled and nodded:
"This is decent."
