Chapter 4 Linglong Embroidery Workshop
After coming out of Ping'an Hall, Mrs. Zhang held the remaining silver in her purse and sighed, and said to Zhou Ran: "Let's go to Buzhuang."

There is a cloth shop on North Street, but the cloth shops on North Street sell expensive cloths such as silk and satin. Zhang wants to go to the cloth shop on West Street.

The store at West Street Cloth Shop is not big, but it has a full range of fabrics. Zhang hesitated between coarse and fine cloths. Thinking of the situation at home, she finally pointed to a piece of coarse cloth and asked Zhou Ran: "What do you think of this red one?" How about it?"

Zhou Ran looked at it and saw that the cloth was said to be red, but it was not really red, but a lighter and darker color than the real red, a bit like sandalwood. Zhou Ran thought it looked pretty good.

She expressed her opinion to Mrs. Zhang, who nodded and asked the boss about the price, and finally spent ninety cents to pull six feet of cloth.

After buying the cloth, Zhang had nothing else to do. Only then did Zhou Ran mention her purpose to Zhang, "Mom, do you know Linglong Embroidery Workshop? I want to take a look at Linglong Embroidery Workshop."

She had just noticed that there was no sign of Linglong Embroidery Workshop where they passed.

Ms. Zhang shook her head, how could she know about Linglong Embroidery Workshop.

"Why are you going to the embroidery workshop?"

Zhou Ran said: "I have learned a little bit of embroidery, and I want to go to Linglong Embroidery Studio and ask if they accept embroidered handkerchiefs or something like that."

Mrs. Zhang felt that Zhou Ran was daydreaming. Even if the people in the village were good at embroidery, they were very crude. They could embroider a handkerchief or something for themselves, but it was impossible to sell it to an embroidery workshop in the county.

But thinking this way, Zhang did not say anything to attack Zhou Ran. Anyway, it was still early before the time agreed with Old Man Liu, so there was no harm in asking.

After returning to Buzhuang and asking the proprietress of Buzhuang about the location of Linglong Embroidery Workshop, Zhou Ran and Zhang turned to South Street.

Linglong Embroidery Shop is located in the middle of South Street. It has two floors of shops with black and gold plaques. It looks spotless. It doesn't look like a place where ordinary farmers should go.

Standing at the door of the shop, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel timid, "It's from Laosan's house, or forget it. There is also an embroidery workshop in the town. Let's go there and ask about it later."

Zhou Ran advised: "Mom, since you are here, you should go in and ask. This embroidery workshop is so big, and the price for the embroidery products will definitely be higher than the price offered by the town."

Mrs. Zhang was still hesitant. Seeing this, Zhou Ran smiled and said, "Mom, why don't you wait for me outside, and I'll go in and ask myself."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Madam Zhang scolded Zhou Ran with a straight face, then took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and walked towards the embroidery workshop, "Let's go, I'll go in with you and ask, so it's okay You give up."

As soon as you enter the embroidery studio, there is a counter. On the counter are various embroidered handkerchiefs, purses, sachets and other small embroidery items. Behind them are the shopkeeper and waiters.

Seeing someone coming in, the waiter raised his smile to say hello, but after seeing Zhou Ran and Zhang, the smile on the waiter's face slowly disappeared, and he asked perfunctorily: "What do you want to buy?"

Zhou Ran didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and said with a faint smile: "I'm sorry, little brother, we don't buy anything. We came here to ask if your embroidery shop accepts embroidery products? How can I become a supplier of embroidery products for your embroidery shop?" mother?"

The waiter's face became even more ugly. He waved his hands and said in an impatient tone: "No, no, you don't even look at the customers who come into our Linglong Embroidery Workshop. How can we accept your rough workmanship?" , you should leave quickly, don’t affect our business.”

After the man finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly pulled Zhou Ran away and wanted to leave.

Zhou Ran gave Mrs. Zhang a comforting look, passed the waiter, and stopped at the shopkeeper who was looking down at the account book. She said softly: "What about double-sided embroidery? Don't you accept double-sided embroidery?"

"Double-sided embroidery?" The clerk said disdainfully, "Just you? I'm not looking down on you. Have you ever seen double-sided embroidery? Do you know what double-sided embroidery is? You're really bragging about not drafting. If you can do double-sided embroidery..." "Shitou, shut up!" The shopkeeper who raised his head at some point scolded the waiter, then turned to look at Zhou Ran: "My surname is Peng, what do you call this young lady?"

Zhou Ran: "Hello, shopkeeper Peng, my surname is Zhou."

"Mrs. Zhou can do double-sided embroidery?"

Shopkeeper Peng also asked this question. Double-sided embroidery is rare. Not to mention Nanxing County, there are not many people in Fucheng who can do double-sided embroidery. Even though the young lady in front of him looks different from ordinary village women, the shopkeeper Still don’t think she knows how to do double-sided embroidery.

But since this young lady mentioned double-sided embroidery, she might know an experienced embroiderer who can do double-sided embroidery.

Sure enough, Zhou Ran shook her head.

"I don't know how to do double-sided embroidery at the moment, but if Shopkeeper Peng is willing to let me become the supplier of the embroidery shop, I can guarantee to provide at least one piece of double-sided embroidery to your embroidery shop every year."

The book given to Zhou Ran by the system contained double-sided embroidery techniques. She believed that she could learn double-sided embroidery in one year.

Shopkeeper Peng frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "I am very interested in the double-sided embroidery mentioned by Madam Zhou. I also believe that since Madam Zhou can produce such embroidery as double-sided embroidery, her own embroidery skills must not be the same. Oops, I wonder if Madam Zhou has brought her own embroidery? As long as the embroidery that Madam Zhou brings meets the requirements of our embroidery workshop, then I will decide to hire Madam Zhou to be the supplier of our embroidery workshop. "

Zhou Ran nodded and said, "I understand what Shopkeeper Peng meant. I just came in a hurry today and didn't bring any embroidery with me. I wonder if I can bother Shopkeeper Peng with the embroidery in a few days?"

"Okay, Peng will be waiting for Mrs. Zhou here."

After walking a long way out of the embroidery workshop, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Zhou Ran, who had a calm expression on her side, "From the third family, can you really produce that double-sided embroidery you just mentioned?"

Zhou Ran nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, it's okay."

Mrs. Zhang also wanted to ask Zhou Ran where she would get the double-sided embroidery. From what the waiter and the shopkeeper said, the double-sided embroidery should be very rare.

But after thinking about it, Zhang still didn't open her mouth.

After Zhou Ran and Zhang discussed it, they planned to return to the cloth shop on West Street. Zhou Ran needed to buy some cloth and silk thread for embroidery.

But after walking a few steps, Zhou Ran saw a familiar figure in the distance. She stopped and looked carefully, and found that she was right. It was indeed her cousin Zhou Ying.

However, Zhou Ying was not alone. There was also a young man in brocade walking beside her. The young man seemed to be a classmate of the original owner's cousin, Zhou Siqi. He had been to the Zhou family before, and it was said that his father was still a minor official.

Zhou Ran suddenly realized, no wonder the Zhou family insisted on blaming the original owner for the Ye family's marriage. Thinking about Ye Ximing's health, it was also partly because Zhou Ying had climbed up to a high branch.

Mrs. Zhang noticed that Zhou Ran had not followed. She turned around and found Zhou Ran standing there staring at Jin Yuzhai not far away. She couldn't help but frown.

"You guys from the Third Family, why are you so dazed?"
