Chapter 1007 What else can she do
International long distance calls are not covered.
Lu Miao carried the things over and contacted John King. The phone call lasted for more than eight minutes, including greetings and cooperation.
The money was given based on nine minutes, and the total cost was twenty-four yuan and thirty cents.
An average of 2.7 yuan per minute. This single phone call costs an average worker more than half a month's salary.
Lu Miao secretly smacked her tongue, feeling it was a bit exaggerated.
If this were replaced by another individual unit and wanted to do foreign trade, I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult.
After all, she had met John King several times, and it was easy to communicate with him.
If it were a different person or situation, it might not be possible.
I guarantee you will go bankrupt on this international long distance...
Lu Miao complained and thought, and arranged time to continue working on other things.
It was still early to go home and check the time. She originally planned to go to Master Zhou, but Fu Jingyou took the small book out of her hand and said:
"Combining work and rest, what are you always so anxious about? Take some rest today and wait until tomorrow."
"Idle time is idle. Anyway, I have a car. Please go for a run with me and I'll be back soon!"
"I just talked with the foreman when I came back yesterday. The tables and cabinets ordered in the next two days will be delivered,"
Fu Jingyou ignored her coquettishness, pulled her to sit down at the table, poured a glass of water and said:
"Tomorrow I will accompany you to Master Zhou's place. After the matters there are settled, we will go to the courtyard together to see how the furniture is arranged. I will listen to you then."
Lu Miao took a sip of water, thought for a moment and nodded:
"Okay! That's okay."
But when she looked at her watch, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. She beckoned Bai Chuan to her and hugged her into her arms. She then said to Fu Jingyou:
"It's no fun just staying at home, let's go out for a walk! Go to Minmin's to see if there is anything to wash, and then go to the North Affiliated Primary School. We can pick up the children back in about time."
Fu Jingyou touched the car keys and nodded.
Lu Miao said hello to Tang Mei, and walked out with Fu Jingyou holding Bai Chuan.
Tang Mei hurriedly came out of the kitchen and chased her all the way:
"You guys go around, pick up the kids and come right back! Food is almost ready, don't buy anything to eat outside!"
"I know!"
Lu Miao answered simply and neatly.
Lu Miao always felt uncomfortable thinking about Minmin working as an apprentice outside at such a young age.
So every time she went to see Minmin, she was always there empty-handed.
Or get something from home.
Or take Minmin out to eat and buy something along the way.
Same thing this time.
There was nothing to take from home, so Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou to drive to the department store first.
After wandering around for a while, Lu Miao bought some things that children like to eat, such as chicken cakes, egg rolls, and fruit peel.
After that, the two of them went to the cultural center.
……
Besides, I’ll go to Master Zhou’s place the next day.
Lu Miao talked about the embroidery fabric.
The materials are easy to say, mainly embroidery patterns.
Lu Miao originally wanted to communicate with Master Zhou first and integrate everyone's suggestions before drawing the pattern.
Unexpectedly, Master Zhou took out a stack of embroidery samples and showed them to her:
"You are here to pick and choose and see if there is anything you like?"
"So many!"
Lu Miao sighed slightly.
The embroidery pattern is traced on paper.
Most of the paper has old creases, but the paper is very smooth.
It can be seen that it is very old and well preserved.
As expected, just after she finished speaking, she heard Master Zhou stroking his gray hair and smiling:
"They're all stuff from the bottom of the box. I haven't used them for many years... I just took them out on a whim after embroidering the three hundred feet of material and sorted them out. If you come today, I'll show them to you."
Lu Miao nodded.
The old masters usually have something at the bottom of the box in their hands. For example, a cook has a recipe.
The tailor has cutting samples.
Those who are good at stitching and embroidery naturally also have valuable and precious patterns.
Lu Miao looked through it carefully and carefully selected a few suitable and good-looking patterns.
There are iris, magnolia and butterfly.
After Lu Miao finalized the pattern, he considered and confirmed the color of the plain cloth with Master Zhou.
The embroidery patterns were provided by Master Zhou, so Lu Miao couldn't be arrogant and say which patterns could only be used by her and not by others.
But in order to ensure a certain degree of uniqueness, Lu Miao plans to decide the color of the embroidery pattern herself.
Afraid that the oral explanation would not be intuitive, Lu Miao asked Master Zhou to prepare the plain cloth first.
She will search for it for the next two days and come back when she finds the watercolor paint.

When the time comes, when she directly matches the color system, Master Zhou and the others will have a more intuitive reference.
Just do what you think of. After leaving Master Zhou, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou went to the South Street courtyard.
Lu Miao didn't care much about the furniture in the yard. She mainly looked at the area on the second floor where she would be active in the future.
I made a few rough comments, and the rest is waiting for Fu Jingyou to come and install it another day.
Lu Miao didn't stay here too long. After speaking, she took Fu Jingyou to the department store and stationery store in Wangfujing.
I won't be satisfied until I have bought everything I need.
For a while, Lu Miao went out with Fu Jingyou every morning.
Just put the furniture in the courtyard on South Street directly.
Mainly the cabinets on the second floor are specially customized and most of them have to be assembled separately.
Then there is the cleaning of construction waste in the yard.
Fu Jingyou first sent Lu Miao to Master Zhou in the morning, and then turned around and went to the South Street courtyard.
After finishing my work in the afternoon, I will pick up Lu Miao and go home with her.
Let’s talk about Master Zhou.
Counting the young apprentice, Master Zhou's courtyard originally had only three people in total.
Lu Miao took on two jobs in a row, each one bigger than the last.
Later, when Lu Miao went to the small courtyard over there, there were obviously several more people around Master Zhou.
They are all old men and women with gray hair but relatively strong bodies.
One time when he saw Lu Miao tilting her head and looking at her while he was matching the colors, Master Zhou even laughed and said that it was thanks to her matchmaking that he had enough money to feed him.
Maybe Lu Miao doesn't think so, but for Master Zhou and other masters, from the current point of view, this is a fact.
With more work to do, the small courtyard gradually became lively, and the young apprentice Xiulian had more opportunities to observe and learn skills.
Master Zhou often looks at Xiulian with emotion and says that this is the inheritance.
What can be passed down is called inheritance.
So how can it be passed down?
The first thing is to have a full stomach.
Master Zhou's jokes often make Lu Miao feel embarrassed.
But thinking about it carefully, Lu Miao was also very emotional.
Sometimes hazy thoughts occasionally flash through my mind.
For example...
Maybe she can do more?
After deciding on the fairy-like colors of several patterns, Lu Miao couldn't help with embroidery or anything like that.
So on Master Zhou's side, Lu Miao's daily routine was no longer the same.
Master Zhou remembers Lu Miao's goodness in his heart.
Just the few patterns Lu Miao picked out, and occasionally when he had some free time, Master Zhou would take a few injections in private.
After chatting with each other, Master Zhou embroidered three kinds of materials for Lu Miao alone.
The quantity of each ingredient is small.
But according to Lu Miao's stature, there is just enough leftover to make a suit of clothes.
