A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 113 114. Advertising Effect
There are two kinds of blue calico, one is blue flowers on a white background, and the other is white flowers on a blue background.

Xin Changning first dyed two bolts of blue cloth with a white background, and painted a simple pattern of small clusters of osmanthus flowers. The flower pattern is simple, there is no dense layout, but a large area of ​​white is left.After this effect comes out, it is like a group of small blue osmanthus flowers painted on the white cloth, and the color effect will be more refreshing.

Then she dyed two horses with white flowers on a blue background, and painted them with jade rabbit sea cloud patterns.A lively little white rabbit is running on the waves of the sea in the shape of auspicious clouds, chasing the crescent moon in front, looking very playful and cute.The pattern is only dyed close to one side of the fabric, similar to modern spotting, while the rest retains the indigo base.

The last one is the one with the most complicated patterns. It is dyed with striped patterns. There are five kinds of patterns: lotus pattern, baoxiang pattern, vine butterfly pattern, and bamboo pattern.

The patterns drawn by Xin Changning are simple and beautiful, they all seem to be simple, but they are actually easy to dye and weave, and the decorative effect is relatively good.The shopkeeper was in this line of work, so it was obvious at a glance that she was able to draw these pictures, which was a very solid foundation.

He immediately admired it, and tentatively made a request: "Miss Xin, although this pattern is your exclusive custom, but if it is really beautiful and popular, it would be a pity to only dye these few horses, can you..."

"I understand what the shopkeeper means. If it is really popular, how about our cooperation?"

Xin Changning's original intention was for this, and he said directly: "I don't ask too much. If this cloth is really easy to sell after it is dyed, how about giving me ten cents for every piece sold?"

The gross profit of a bolt of best-selling blue cloth is about [-] cents, and ten cents is close to one-third.

"This is too much!"

Giving up one-third of the profit all of a sudden, the shopkeeper was naturally distressed, and immediately hesitated.

"Actually, the fabric hasn't been dyed yet, so it's too early to say anything. Shopkeeper, I'll put the taels of silver here first, and you write me a receipt. I'll come back when the fabric is finished dyeing." After buying fabrics, patterns and so on, I can draw better ones myself, Xin Changning is very refreshed.

"The girl said yes!" Anyway, a tael of silver was credited first, and we'll see what happens next.

The shopkeeper also thought of this, nodded and hurriedly wrote the receipt.

Dyeing cloth takes time. In the following days, Xin Changning didn't pay attention to the dyeing workshop. He studied clothes and drew various designs at home every day.

The embroidery workshop sent a message first, saying that the screen pattern has been given feedback, and the lady likes her pattern very much, but some parts need to be modified.

So in the next few days, Xin Changning would go to the town every day to carefully modify the pattern according to the customer's request.The requirements were very detailed, and after all the patterns were repaired, she was afraid that the embroiderers would not be able to draw the pattern well, so she helped to redraw the pattern on the screen by herself, and also gave advice on color matching.

This time the painting was tiring, but the rewards were generous. In addition to the previous three hundred cash, shopkeeper Su gave her a full five hundred cash, and said that after the screen was embroidered, there might be rewards.

Before Xin Changning had time to care about the rewards, the fabric at the dyeing workshop was finished, and she immediately started making new clothes.

Of course she doesn't know how to make clothes. Although Liu can do it, it's too slow for one person to do it by hand. In order to make new clothes quickly, Xin Changning took the materials to a clothing store and hired a few tailors.

Seeing that the fabric Xin Changning wanted to order was actually the most common blue coarse cloth, the tailors were very contemptuous at first, but because of the generous wages, they reluctantly accepted the order.

But when they unfolded the fabric, saw the unique patterns, and saw the clothes matching pictures drawn by Xin Changning, they immediately became interested.

Soon, the first set of clothes was made. According to Xin Changning's stature, the style was the most common jacket and skirt style, with the upper jacket and the lower skirt.

The upper jacket is made of small floral patterns on a white background, and clusters of simple patterns of sweet-scented osmanthus fall on the white background, looking refreshing and elegant.The lower skirt is indigo blue. Although the color and texture are heavy, it echoes the pattern and color of the upper body clothes, without appearing too independent and heavy.

What's even more wonderful is that the pattern of white rabbits and auspicious clouds on the hem of the skirt seems to be embroidered from a distance.The little rabbit's posture is so vivid that it instantly makes the heavy indigo color come alive.Wearing it on a young girl like Xin Changning doesn't look out of place at all.On the contrary, she looks elegant, charming and unique.

In addition to himself, Xin Changning also made a set for Liu and Xin Changxi. Liu's is also a white osmanthus pattern jacket and an indigo skirt. The difference is that the collar and cuffs are wrapped with blue branches. The lotus patterns are decorated.The pattern on the skirt is also not a white rabbit pattern, but a circle of Baoxiang lotus pattern is inlaid.

Compared with the playfulness of the white rabbit pattern, Liu's body looks simple and dignified.

Changxi was still a child, and his clothes were simpler, with narrow-sleeved shorts and trousers.It happened that there was still a piece of light blue coarse cloth at home, so I used it to make a jacket. The collar, cuffs and belt were matched with bamboo leaf patterns on a white background. The pants were directly dark blue without any patterns. shoe upper.

In order to better match, Xin Changning also made a messenger bag out of pure indigo coarse cloth, and cut out two pieces of blue calico with butterfly pattern as straps and decorations.

The day when the clothes were ready coincided with the market day, Xin Changning ordered Liu and Chang Xi, who were coaxing, to put on new clothes, and the family of three went to the market together.

Most of the people in the market are ordinary people wearing blue coarse cloth, most of which are solid color or with a little floral pattern, and everyone is similar with minor differences.The clothes of Xin Changning's family have beautiful patterns and harmonious colors, making them stand out immediately.

In addition, the coming year is the Year of the Rabbit, and many people with children are particularly interested in the white rabbit pattern.

"Hey, this dress is really pretty. The blue coarse cloth should not be expensive. Look at this rabbit and bamboo with this pattern. I have never seen it before. It is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?"

Soon people came up to ask.

"This one, I bought it at the blue cloth dyeing workshop in the town. If you are interested, you might as well ask the shopkeeper if it is sold out." Xin Changning replied with a sweet smile.

After dyeing the fabric for Xin Changning, the owner of the dyeing workshop really couldn't bear to dye a few more for himself and put them in the store. He didn't give much hope at first, but he just hoped that the unique pattern would make the business of the well-known store better. Some.

Unexpectedly, not long after it was placed, someone took a fancy to it, and half of each pattern was immediately sold, and within two days, a few bolts of cloth were almost sold out.The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly started dyeing the cloth overnight, and when it was market day, a large number of people rushed in suddenly, wanting to snap up the cloth.
