Chapter 7 Selling Embroidery in Sioux City

After Liu Wen got on the train, she read quietly and had no intention of talking to the people around her.

She picked up a book and started reading it. She found it in a second-hand bookstore. She originally skipped books without covers.

For some reason, when she saw this book, she had the desire to read it. When she opened it, she found that it was a book about Su embroidery techniques, or a notebook.

This was a surprise for Liu Wen. With the development of Suzhou embroidery, there are actually many embroidery methods. Liu Wen didn't even know how many embroidery methods there were.

But there were more than twenty embroidery techniques that had been lost, and Liu Wen was shocked.

Liu Wen glanced at it, immediately took it in her hand, and continued reading in the bookstore. She found several books about ancient buildings, with pictures of some famous scenic spots, and a book about flowers and birds.

That trip to the used bookstore opened a window for Liu Wen. She originally wanted to find a cram school somewhere to improve her painting skills.

An embroiderer is really not just a person with excellent embroidery skills, but a good painter. Otherwise, good embroidery skills alone are not enough.

Although her skills in the previous life were good, she knew that she had not improved herself except for embroidery or embroidery, and she really had a lot of shortcomings.

In this life, Liu Wen plans not to just focus on embroidery, but to improve her embroidery skills.

Liu Wen read a book along the way, occasionally went to the bathroom, and had lunch on the train. It was difficult to bring food on the train in the hot weather.

When Liu Wen got off the train, she felt sore. She found a place to stay, took a shower, and had a good meal. She felt like she was alive again.

Before returning to the town, Liu Wen went to the embroidery factory. There is a sales department here that sells embroidery works and also collects embroidery products.

After Liu Wen walked around, she found the staff and handed over a simple bamboo embroidery she had just completed in Beijing.

After taking a look at it, the other party quickly quoted, "Seventy-five."

Seventy-five? Although it cannot be compared with the price of embroidery sold in the capital, after all, the size of this picture is smaller.

There are also embroidery factories that also want to make some money. Even at this price, it is already higher than the price offered by the embroidery station. Over there, the maximum asking price is forty yuan.

Liu Wen quickly sold the embroidery and got on the bus home.

The journey was bumpy and we arrived in the town at noon. Liu Wen got out of the car and was just about to find a place to eat when she heard someone calling her.

Liu Wen turned around and saw a woman in her thirties calling her. When she looked closely, she turned out to be Liu Shuhui.

"Sister Shuhui." Liu Wen shouted loudly and walked towards her.

Seeing the traditional Chinese medicine bag in Liu Shuhui's hand, she asked, "Brother-in-law is in poor health again?"

Liu Shuhui hummed, "By the way, how is the matter in the capital being resolved?"

"I broke up with him. He has someone outside and is about to get married. I got back all the money I spent on him over the years."

There is nothing I can't say about this. "By the way, sister, do you still sell your embroidery products to the embroidery station?"

Liu Shuhui hummed, "What else?" Although it was a bit harder, it was much better than going out to work, especially since she had to take care of her husband and children.

"The price at the embroidery station is too cheap." Liu Wen whispered and raised the price of selling embroidery products in Beijing and Sioux City this time.

Liu Shuhui was shocked, "The price is so different?"

"That's right." Liu Wen said angrily, "I didn't have much money, so I thought I would go to the capital without money, so I took the picture of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums and went to the capital."

“I didn’t expect the price to be so expensive.”

Liu Shuhui had seen the pictures Liu Wen had embroidered and said, "You did a good job on those embroidered pictures."

"And you are going to the capital to sell on the way." It is not easy to go to the capital, and Liu Shuhui is determined to give up.

"I can help you sell it."

"Sister, think about it, if you can get a good price for the same embroidered picture, why not sell it."

"Well..." Liu Shuhui didn't want to trouble Liu Wen, "It's not easy to go to the capital."

Liu Shuhui remembered that Liu Wen had just arrived home, "Did you just arrive and go to my house for dinner?"

There were too many people I met on the road, and I couldn’t even say hello from time to time, so I couldn’t have a good conversation.

"Sure." Liu Wen passed by a stewed vegetable restaurant and bought two kinds of stewed vegetables, regardless of Liu Shuhui's polite refusal.

"Otherwise I won't go to your house for dinner."

"I'm not at home. Please go over and open the window for me, sister."

"Besides, if you hadn't always helped me, I wouldn't have known how to exploit my father."

This sister in her previous life had tried to persuade her countless times, but she just didn't think about it.

When we arrived at Liu Shuhui's house, Liao Feng was sitting at the door painting, while Jianjian was cooking in the kitchen, and Kangkang was cleaning.

Although Liu Shuhui gave birth to two sons, she was really no worse than her two daughters. Knowing that Liao Feng was not in good health, Liu Shuhui was busy making money. When she became sensible, she did what she could do. When she got older, she just stood on a small bench.

Cook on the table.

Although Liu Shuhui was very miserable in the first half of her life, she was still very happy in the second half of her life. It is a pity that her eyesight was bad, otherwise she would have been even happier.

Liao Feng saw Liu Wen and put down the brush in his hand, "Xiaowen, has the matter in Beijing been resolved?"

After Liao Feng learned about Geng Tao's behavior from Liu Shuhui's mouth, he thought it would be better to break up. Such a man is really not a good person.

"Solved." Liu Wen knew that Liu Shuhui and his wife were very tight-lipped and would not talk about it outside, so she talked about the trip to Beijing and Suzhou.

Liu Shuhui did not expect that Liu Wen actually bought a house in the capital, "Then you are not from the capital anymore?"

"No way, my household registration is not in the capital." Liu Wen had thought about moving her household registration to the capital, but she just thought about it.

"So, sister, after I rent out the house, I will travel to the capital frequently. If possible, I don't even want to leave my embroidery pictures at the embroidery station."

"The price difference is a lot." Liu Wen would not say that Liu Fen embezzled the embroiderer's money, because she pretended to be very good and looked kind. When the embroiderer's family encountered problems, she would always help her.

"That's right." Liu Shuhui didn't think much about it at all. She just couldn't figure it out. "Although we are a little far away from Su City, the price difference is not so big."

"Even if I can't have the price of Beijing or the price of Suzhou, I still..." At least it won't be so hard.

As an embroiderer, of course I know that frequent embroidery is very harmful to the eyes, but there is no way. If we don't work hard, what will happen to the man's medicine expenses and his sons' school fees?

"Isn't it said that the purchase price of Sucheng Embroidery Factory is also the purchase price of Fang Embroidery Station?"

Because there are many embroiderers in Suzhou, walking in many towns in Suzhou, embroidery factories set up embroidery stations in various towns to facilitate these embroiderers. Even in those ten years, the embroidery stations never closed their doors to accept embroidery, because

This is also one of the few domestic products that can be exported to earn foreign exchange.

Liu Shuhui didn't think so much about it at first, she just felt it was very strange and confused.

Liao Feng glanced at Liu Shuhui, who kept talking incomprehensively, lowered his head and continued painting.
