A soft-waisted educated youth has sex with a loyal dog and a rough guy in the 1960s

Chapter 1007 What else can she do

International long-distance call charges are not covered.

Lu Miao went over with the things in his arms and contacted John King. The call lasted more than eight minutes, including greetings and discussions on cooperation.

The money was paid based on the nine-minute time, and the total cost was twenty-four yuan and thirty cents.

The average wage is 2.7 yuan per minute, which means this one phone call costs an average worker half a month's salary.

Lu Miao secretly clicked his tongue, thinking it was a bit exaggerated.

If it were any other individual unit, it would probably be a bit difficult to do foreign trade.

After all, she had met John King several times, so communication with him was easy.

If you change the person or the situation, it may not be the same.

I can't guarantee that I will go bankrupt on this international long-distance call...

Lu Miao complained and thought, then arranged his time to continue working on other things.

It was still early when she got home, and she had originally planned to go to Master Zhou's place. Fu Jingyou directly took the small notebook from her hand and said:
"Work and rest together. What are you always in such a hurry to do? Take a rest today and we can talk about it tomorrow."

"I have nothing to do anyway. I have a car anyway. Just go with me and we'll be back soon!"

"I just talked to the foreman yesterday. The tables and cabinets I ordered will be delivered in the next two days."

Fu Jingyou ignored her coquettishness, pulled her to sit at the table, poured her a glass of water and said:
"I'll go with you to Master Zhou's tomorrow. Once we've dealt with the matter over there, we'll go to the courtyard together to see how to arrange the furniture. I'll do whatever you say then."

Lu Miao took a sip of water, thought for a moment and nodded:

"Okay! That's fine."

But looking at the watch, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. She waved and called Baichuan to her side, hugged him in her arms, and said to Fu Jingyou:

"It's boring to just stay at home, let's go out for a walk! Let's go to Minmin's place to see if there's anything to wash, and then go to Beifu Primary School. We'll be able to pick up the kids in time."

Fu Jingyou picked up the car keys and nodded.

Lu Miao said hello to Tang Mei, and walked out with Fu Jingyou, holding Bai Chuan.

Tang Mei hurried out of the kitchen and chased after him:
"Go around and pick up the kids and come back straight away! The meal will be ready soon, don't buy food outside!"

"Know it!"

Lu Miao answered promptly and clearly.

Minmin is working as an apprentice outside at such a young age, and Lu Miao always feels uncomfortable thinking about it.

So every time she went to see Minmin, she never came empty-handed.

Or get something from home.

Or take Minmin out to eat and buy something along the way.

It's the same this time.

There was nothing to take at home, so Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou to drive to the department store first.

After walking around for a while, Lu Miao bought some things that children like to eat, such as egg cakes, egg rolls, and fruit leather.

Then the two of them went to the cultural center.

……

Let’s go to Master Zhou the next day.

Lu Miao talked about the embroidery fabrics.

The material is easier to talk about, mainly the embroidery pattern.

Lu Miao originally wanted to communicate with Master Zhou first, and then incorporate everyone's suggestions before drawing the pattern.

Unexpectedly, Master Zhou took out a stack of embroidery samples and showed them to her:

"Take a look here and see if there's anything you like."

"so much!"

Lu Miao sighed slightly.

The embroidery pattern is traced on paper.

Most of the paper creases are old, but the paper is very smooth.

You can see it's quite old and is well preserved.

As expected, just as she finished speaking, Master Zhou stroked his gray hair and said with a smile:

"They are all things that have been kept at the bottom of the box for many years without being used... I just took them out and sorted them out on a whim after I finished embroidering the three hundred feet of material. Since you are here today, I will show them to you."

Lu Miao nodded.

The old chefs usually have some hidden treasures in their hands, such as cooks have recipes.

The tailor has cutting samples.

Those who work with needlework and embroidery naturally have valuable patterns.

Lu Miao looked through them carefully and selected a few suitable and good-looking patterns.

There are irises, magnolias and butterflies respectively.

After Lu Miao finalized the pattern, he carefully confirmed the color of the plain cloth with Master Zhou.

The embroidery pattern was provided by Master Zhou, and Lu Miao could not be so overbearing as to say that only she could use a certain pattern and no one else was allowed to use it.

But in order to ensure a certain uniqueness, Lu Miao plans to decide the color matching of the embroidery pattern himself.

Afraid that the oral description might not be intuitive, Lu Miao asked Master Zhou to prepare the plain cloth first.

She will search for it in the next two days and come back when she finds the watercolor paints.

By the time she can directly match the color scheme, Master Zhou and others will have a more intuitive reference.

Just do it when you think of it. After leaving Master Zhou, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou went to the courtyard on South Street.

Lu Miao didn't care much about the furniture arrangement in the yard. She was mainly looking at the area on the second floor where she would often be active in the future.

I made a few rough suggestions, and as for the rest, I will just wait for Fu Jingyou to come and install it another day.

Lu Miao didn't stay here for too long. After he finished speaking, he took Fu Jingyou to visit the department store and stationery store in Wangfujing.

I won't be satisfied until I have bought everything I need.

For a period of time afterwards, Lu Miao went out with Fu Jingyou every morning.

Just put the furniture in the South Street yard directly there.

Mainly the cabinets and boxes on the second floor, all of which are specially customized, and most of them have to be assembled separately.

The next step is to clean up the construction waste in the yard.

Fu Jingyou first sent Lu Miao to Master Zhou in the morning, and then turned around to go to the courtyard on South Street.

After finishing work in the afternoon, I will pick up Lu Miao and go home together.

Let’s talk about Master Zhou.

Including the young apprentice, there were originally only three people in Master Zhou's courtyard.

Lu Miao took on two jobs in a row, each one bigger than the last.

Later, when Lu Miao went to the courtyard again, there were obviously several more people around Master Zhou.

They are all old men and women with gray hair, but they look still in good health.

Once when Master Zhou saw Lu Miao matching colors and tilted his head to look at her, he laughed and said that it was thanks to her matchmaking that he was able to feed several mouths here.

Maybe Lu Miao doesn’t think so, but for Master Zhou and other old masters, this is the fact at the moment.

As there was more work, the small courtyard gradually became lively, and the young apprentice Xiu Lian had more opportunities to observe and learn skills.

Master Zhou often looked at Xiu Lian with emotion and said that this was the true inheritance.

Only what can be passed down can be called inheritance.

So how can it be passed on?

The first thing is to have enough food to eat.

Master Zhou's jokes often made Lu Miao feel embarrassed.

But thinking about it carefully, Lu Miao was also very emotional.

Sometimes some vague thoughts would flash through my mind.

such as……

Maybe she can do more?
After deciding on a few fairy-like color combinations for the patterns, Lu Miao couldn't help with embroidery or anything like that.

So Lu Miao stopped going to Master Zhou's place on a daily basis.

Master Zhou always remembers Lu Miao's kindness.

Based on the patterns selected by Lu Miao, Master Zhou would give a few acupuncture treatments in private when he had some free time.

As a token of his appreciation, Master Zhou embroidered three types of fabrics specifically for Lu Miao.

The quantity of each material is not much.

But according to Lu Miao's size, there would be just enough left over for a set of clothes.
