"Little boy, whose family are you from?"
Ning Jiandong felt a little nervous when He An looked at him, so he lowered his voice and spoke to her in a soft voice.
"Old He's family."
He An answered clearly and crisply, then asked him whose it was.
And just like that, the adult and the child started chatting.
As they chatted, Wen's mother brought tea and snacks, and Yi Chichi brought the embroidery pattern she had drawn earlier.
"Look at these."
Ning Jiandong, who had just accepted the tea and was about to drink it, quickly put down the cup and took the embroidery patterns and began to look at them one by one.
There were 37 embroidery samples in total. He picked out six and handed them back, "Keep these six for your own embroidery."
Yi Chichi took it, glanced at it, and nodded, "Okay."
Compared to the 31 cards he took away, the patterns of these six cards were more complicated, and the variety of colors was terrifyingly numerous.
She put away the six embroidery patterns and was about to speak when Ning Jiandong took out a photo from his bag and handed it to her.
"This photo was given to me by a foreign friend who bought your double cat embroidery. He wants you to help embroider a family portrait!"
Before he finished speaking, he added, "It's a task from above."
This means that you can only accept and not refuse.
Yi Chichi swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She reached out to take the photo, and her face turned green when she saw it.
A family of four, two adults and two children, plus a Yorkshire terrier with a red bow.
The background of the photo should have been taken in my own yard.
The flowers and plants are lush.
She moved her lips for a while, and managed to say, "When do you want it?"
If time is too tight, I can't accept it even if it means ending the cooperative relationship with Friendship Store.
It can't be completed at all.
Fortunately, Ning Jiandong's words put her mind at ease.
He said, "Knowing that you were pregnant, I managed to get you a date in October next year."
It is now mid-November of 78, and October of the following year, which is 11. In the past two years, we have quite a lot of time.
I can finally put my heart at ease.
She let out a long sigh and her eyes fell on the package next to Ning Jiandong, "Did you bring the materials too?"
Ning Jiandong, who had been prepared for her rejection and was thinking about how to persuade her, suddenly became happy.
"Brought it."
He took the package and opened it with a smile. "Because I don't know what size you want, I brought several sizes of silk. You can choose the one that suits you, and I'll take the rest back."
Silk is expensive, especially the thin and nearly transparent silk, which is the most expensive of all embroidery fabrics and cannot tolerate being wasted or snagged.
So, he took the gloves and put them on, then took out several sizes of silk and spread them out for her to choose.
It was the first time that He An saw this almost transparent fabric. She quickly stretched out her little hand to touch it, but a big hand suddenly appeared and held her hand.
"Don't touch this!"
Wen's mother picked her up and stepped back away from the silk, explaining to her in a gentle voice how fragile and precious the silk was.
He An understood, and after she finished speaking, he made a final summary, "Expensive, it means a lot of White Rabbit."
This comparison...
Wen's mother thought about it and felt that it was very vivid.
"Yes, this thing is worth a lot of White Rabbit."
It would have been fine if they didn't mention White Rabbit, but when they mentioned White Rabbit, He An became greedy. She swallowed her saliva and insisted on going back to eat White Rabbit.
However, Zhang Xin had not yet finished get off work, He Yunsong had led the team to training, and the old man had not returned yet. Who would dare to let her go home?
"Mom, go get her some White Rabbit. Don't let her eat it directly. Dissolve it in water and let her drink it."
This kid once choked himself while eating White Rabbit snacks. If there hadn't been someone around to rescue him in time, he would have suffocated.
Even so, it was still a pain. She cried so hard afterwards that her voice was hoarse for several days.
With the lessons learned from the past, it is better to put safety first.
Wen's mother nodded, then carried He An to rinse the White Rabbit water.
Yi Chi Chi withdrew his gaze and picked the middle size among several sizes of silk, "This one will do."
Ning Jiandong rolled up and wrapped the middle-sized items without saying a word and handed them to her, along with the embroidery thread and needle sleeves.
"How about leaving these for you too?"
As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the six embroidery patterns she placed aside. "I think this large-sized silk is suitable for your painting of blooming flowers and prosperity." "Take it and ask Master Tang to embroider it into Cantonese embroidery."
Yi Chichi pushed it out directly. Although she had painted a picture of blooming flowers and prosperity, she had no plans to embroider it now. The reason was that she didn't have enough energy.
The twelve-color peony, which is in full bloom, has hundreds of colors, and some places are also blurred, which requires very high requirements for the split line.
At least two hundred hairs have to be split out of one thread.
It is really as thin as a hair, which is very burdensome to the eyes and consumes a lot of energy.
"Master Tang received a painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix."
Shit, this is no less difficult than making the flowers bloom and the wealth grow.
"Who came up with the picture?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked this question. Once Ning Jiandong asked this question, he wanted to explode. He slammed the table and said angrily, "The drawing was provided by a foreign businessman. It was drawn by Master Xiong from Jiang Province. It was his last work. It was drawn in 33 in Shanghai by someone who had a very easy life. There's blood on it."
Yi Chichi knew the nationality of this foreign businessman as soon as he heard it. No wonder Ning Jiandong was in such a bad mood.
At this moment, she was extremely glad that this job did not fall into her hands.
Otherwise, she would feel bad about earning this money.
"What's the asking price?"
"The price is quite high, and it's foreign exchange, but the foreign exchange I earn is not comfortable."
Ning Jiandong looked listless, and Yi Chichi could see that he was really feeling aggrieved.
It was really difficult for him to say this in Guangzhou, and he couldn't even complain about it to his family, but it didn't matter to her.
She didn't know what to say to comfort him, and Ning Jiandong didn't need her comfort.
I just feel a little confused.
He said, "I wanted to bite my teeth to pieces at that time. I couldn't even get angry, let alone get mad..."
It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that I can’t.
This inability made his frustration even heavier.
He took a deep breath and waved his hand weakly, "Forget it, we can't continue talking about this topic. If we continue, I'll piss myself off to death."
"What's up with you?"
Wen Shi, who had just stepped into the house, heard these words and spoke in surprise.
Yi Chichi wondered, "Why did you come back so soon?"
"Once the personnel handover is completed, I will have nothing to do with it."
The rest was taken care of by a dedicated person, and his task was completed.
Lifting his foot to the front, Wen Shi saw the things on the table at a glance, and the smile on his face instantly withdrew, and his eyes scraped at Ning Jiandong like a knife, "Uncle, my wife is pregnant, and she will give birth soon, and you still let her take the job?"
His tone was unfriendly and his fists were clenched.
Ning Jiandong rolled his eyes. "I'm not Zhou Bapi. Although I gave her the job, I bought her two years to do it. She has plenty of time."
Based on Yi Chichi's technology and speed, there is plenty of time to start construction in October next year.
After all, the family portrait is a single-sided embroidery, not a double-sided embroidery, let alone a three-sided embroidery.
The technical difficulty has been greatly reduced.
Two years?
He looked at Yi Chichi and said, "Wife, will you deliver the goods in two years?"
"Ah."
Yi Chichi nodded, picked up the photo and handed it to him, "Embroider this."
He took it and looked at it, frowning, "Foreign devils."
"Be polite, they are foreign friendly merchants."
Ning Jiandong was annoyed, "People can help earn foreign exchange, understand?"
Foreign exchange is the most important thing in the world. Only with foreign exchange can they buy things in the international market. Without foreign exchange, they can't move forward.
When smelling, "..."
Well, those who can help earn foreign exchange are good customers.
“This dog looks a little weird.”
Ning Jiandong nodded, "Don't tell me, I think so too."
Yi Chichi remained silent. Although Yorkshire Terriers looked a little different from their native dogs, it was not to the extent of being strange.
This aesthetic...
Forget it, let’s stop complaining. (End of this chapter)
