Chapter 182: Big move at the beginning

However, no one could have imagined that this man would be so anxious that he would come to the door himself.

On the third night of Yi Chichi's arrival at the base, Ji Jian, the sister-in-law of Commander Lin's house next door, came to ask her to go sailing.

Everything was ready, and when it was time to set off, Ji Jian hesitated and said, "Chi Chi, I'm afraid you can't catch this sea."

"What?"

Yi Chichi, who was adjusting his trousers, raised his eyes and looked over. Ji Jian raised his chin slightly and nodded towards the outside of the yard, "Your house has brought guests back."

Yi Chichi followed her gaze and found that at the end of the road, Wen Shi was coming this way with a man.

Non-military uniform, white shirt, black trousers, a pair of three-jointed leather shoes, and a pen in the breast pocket.

There is also a briefcase under his arm, which is obviously the appearance of a cadre.

When he saw this, he was talking and laughing with this person. Yi Chichi thought about it a few times and said to Ji Jian with an apology on his face, "Sister-in-law, let's make another appointment tomorrow."

"it is good."

Ji Jian smiled heartily and walked out with the bucket, "Then I'll go to the sea first. If I get a good harvest, I'll come back and share some with you."

"Okay."

This time is when the tide is low, so go early and find a good location, and the harvest will not be bad.

But Ji Jian said that she had some bad luck.

She has never had good luck since she was a child. The only time she got lucky was when she caught her man, Lin Qiuping.

Others go to catch the sea when the tide is low and gain a lot.

She went to catch the sea, but she was so blind that she couldn't see the seafood. When she walked forward, the seafood appeared on the back legs and was picked up by her companions.

At first, Yi Chichi thought it was a coincidence. Yesterday morning, she invited her to go out for a swim, and she realized it.

Ji Jian really has something going on.

There was clearly a cat's eye snail lying on the sand at her feet, but she couldn't see it.

Therefore, Yi Chichi had no idea about dividing her overseas goods.

Not two minutes after Ji Jian left, Wen Shi appeared at the entrance of the courtyard with someone.

"Chi Chi, this is Uncle Ning, calling someone."

Your surname is Ning?

Yi quickly understood that he was the owner of the Guanyin statue.

This person actually came to the door by himself?
She greeted Ning Jianping with a polite smile, "Hello, Uncle Ning. Have you eaten?"

"Ate."

Ning Jianping was impatient, so he went into the house to drink a few sips of tea at the invitation of Wen Shi and Yi Chichi. After a few simple greetings, he went straight to the topic, "We are all acquaintances, and I won't be polite to you. Xiao Yi, I I just want to ask, has the embroidery been finished?”

His voice was very low, and there was a hint of anxiety between his brows and eyes.

"All right."

Yi Chi nodded, "Wait a moment, I'll get it now."

"it is good."

Yi Chichi went into the house to get the Guanyin statue. When he heard it, he adjusted his sitting posture. While chatting with Ning Jianping, he paid attention to the movement outside the door.

I was worried that someone would come over and see something bad.

"You can compare."

Soon, Yi Chichi came out with the statue and portrait of Guanyin.

The portrait was placed on the table and she was holding the Guanyin image.

Silk is too delicate, so I don't dare to put it away without an embroidery frame, and I don't dare to let people touch it, for fear that the integrity and artistry of the entire work will be damaged by scratches.

Ning Jianping had studied embroidery and was satisfied with Yi Chichi's attitude.

This is an expert, and he has a good grasp of details.

"Let me take a look." He took out his glasses from his bag and put them on, carefully comparing the embroidery with the portrait of Guanyin inch by inch.

Yi Chichi's eyes fell on his face, but he didn't feel uneasy.

She is confident in her skills.

As expected, she watched as the serious expression on Ning Jianping's face gradually relaxed, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Five minutes later, he straightened up and praised, "It's exactly the same. The details, colors and even composition are all handled very well. Xiao Yi, your skills are incredible."

They were completely different types from the embroidery sold in Youyi Store. He couldn't say which technique was better, but the Guanyin image embroidered by Yi Chichi made him very satisfied. In Guanyin's eyes, he felt holiness and compassion for all sentient beings.

The mother who receives the gift will be very happy!
His compliment was sincere, and Yi Chichi smiled, "I feel the same way."

It is impossible to be modest and her craft deserves this praise.

I guess I didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned. Ning Jianping was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "My dear, children should be confident and generous, and know the future..."

Realizing that he had made a mistake, he quickly swallowed his words and said instead, "Are you still taking the job?"

When Yi Chichi looked at Wen, he saw him nodding slightly, smiling and nodding.

"Take it, uncle, do you want more?"

"I do not want."

This piece of embroidery almost consumed their family's annual salary. Although their family did not rely solely on salary, the expense had to be said to be really high.

One painting a year is really not enough.

"There is a trade fair in Yangcheng, do you know about it?"

Yi Chichi,...make a big move at the beginning?

This is a bit fierce.

"know."

She nodded. The full name of the trade fair was the Import and Export Fair, and it was held in Yangcheng.

It hasn't stopped in the past ten years.

It is also the main channel for my country’s export to earn foreign exchange.

Very important.

But these are not the point. The point is that the fair will exhibit (sell) handicrafts.

Embroidery is a handicraft.

"You want me to go to the trade fair?"

When he heard this, he looked at Ning Jianping in surprise, "Good guy, is Uncle Ning so wild?"

A statue of Guanyin captured his heart, and he even had the idea of ​​​​letting his wife attend the trade fair.

This wave is okay.

Once his wife's work is noticed by foreign friends who come to the trade fair, she will be stable in her life.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Ning Jianping's mouth twitched as he watched the performance of the two young men, "Do you have any works?"

"No."

Yi Chichi shook his head, his face fell when he heard it, and he was happy in vain.

Ning Jianping was satisfied with Yi Chichi's performance. He was neither happy nor angry, his face was as calm as a gossip, and he neither had a strong interest in the trade fair nor felt disappointed that he could not go to the trade fair.

On the contrary, when I heard it, the emotion was too extroverted.

I couldn't help but educate him.

But when he didn't want to hear it, he smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm only like this in front of my own people."

Ning Jianping... is quite good at talking.

He glanced at Wen Shi, then ignored him and said to Yi Chichi, "You can't participate in the trade fair, but you can give your works to the Friendship Store. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understand!"

She understands this very well, this is what her grandma did.

Copying her grandma's path, this wave can do it.

“But I don’t know anyone from the Friendship Store.”

The implication is: I don’t dare to do it because I have no other options.

"I'll introduce you."

Ning Jianping took over everything. Several of the embroidery masters in Jiandong were old, their eyesight was not very good, and they no longer took on many jobs. The apprentices he brought were not skilled enough and had not yet started their apprenticeships.

It takes time to search for masters among the people, especially masters who can embroider fine products, which are even more difficult to find.

Yi Chichi's craftsmanship is definitely at the master level. The most important thing is that her works are spiritual and can definitely meet Jiandong's high requirements for embroidery.
