Popular peasant wife: mountain man lacks training

Chapter 494
"I came here today to order a few sets of clothes, but I drew the blueprints myself, and I have to ask the embroiderer in your embroidery workshop to see if they can make them."

Geng Sang took out the blueprint from his satchel and handed it to the apprentice, asking him to ask the embroiderer.

The satchel on her body is somewhat similar to modern backpacks, but it is made of fine linen, with silk lining and Miao patterns embroidered on the outside. It looks very beautiful, and it was also custom-made by her in the workshop.

In fact, there are already satchels in this era, but ordinary people pursue practicality, unlike Geng Sang, who pursues beauty, so Geng Sang’s bag is only more fancy than others’.

On the contrary, Geng Sang himself was quite satisfied, feeling that carrying this bag would have more face than others, which satisfied his little embarrassment.

Not long after, the little apprentice came back with the blueprints, his face was very happy, Geng Sang knew at a glance that the embroiderer probably could make it.

"The embroiderers say they can do it?" Geng Sang asked, already having an answer in his heart.

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Lu's guess is really accurate.

However, the embroiderers also said that the clothes made of such a beautiful pattern must also be very beautiful. If you choose brocade silk to make it, it will definitely look better than burlap cotton. I don’t know how the madam wants to choose the material? "

The little apprentice looked at Geng Sang expectantly, and shouted in his heart, quickly choose silk, quickly choose silk!

Geng Sang didn't seem to hear the little apprentice's hint, so he replied calmly, "I'm going to disappoint the girls.

In my opinion, both sets of spring shirts are made of fine cotton. As for the summer clothes, use fine linen, which is breathable and cool in summer. "

The little apprentice couldn't help being very disappointed, but even so, there were eight sets of spring shirts and summer clothes when he sat down, which contributed to this list, which was not small, and he cheered up again.

"Since madam is concerned, then follow what madam said, and go talk to the embroiderers if you laugh?"

The little apprentice asked slowly, hoping that Geng Sang would change his mind suddenly now.

"Wait a minute."

Geng Sang said something again, and saw the little apprentice looking at her with sparkling eyes, she couldn't help being a little amused, but she was destined to disappoint him.

"Please ask the embroiderers, is it easy to sew the lining of summer clothes with thin silk?"

Geng Sang had seen the fine linen cloth here before, but it was not as fine as the fabrics he had seen before, and the craftsmanship was not up to par, and summer clothes were worn next to the body, so Geng Sang thought it would be better to replace the lining with silk. Softer.

The one unearthed at Mawangdui is as thin as a cicada's wing. The silk weaving technology of this era has been very mature, and even with an extra layer, it is also very breathable.

"Young one, just ask." The little apprentice thought that even if it was just a layer of lining, silk was several times more expensive than linen, and ran to the backyard of the embroidery workshop overjoyed.

The backyard of the embroidery workshop is where the embroiderers work. There are racks of embroidery frames and colorful silk threads hanging beside them. Several embroiderers are gathering together to discuss the drawings given by Geng Sang.

"It looks so pretty. If it could be made of silk brocade, it would be beautiful."

"That's not true, but our workshop buys materials used by ordinary people for the sake of benefit, small profits but quick turnover. Since people choose our embroidery workshop, they may not be willing to pay such a price."

"Not necessarily. Our workshop also has silk brocades, but there are fewer, and the patterns are not as many as Jinxiu embroidery workshop."

"If I were Mrs. Lu, I would have to make it into silk and satin. She is not the owner of the workshop, so it's not impossible to take out this little money."

The embroiderers were discussing in a hurry, and when they saw the little apprentice coming, they couldn't help rushing up and asking, "Did Madam Lu choose the material?"
