Chapter 73: Embroidery Third Class
After hanging up the phone with his parents, Zhao Shi went straight to the supermarket.
I just finished two rounds of boxing, and it feels like the three pounds of pure meat ham I ate wasted. I’m still very hungry.
Zhao Shi knew that this hunger was not caused by having nothing in his stomach, but because his body lacked necessary nutrition. It was because his cultivation progress was too fast, causing the digestion speed to fail to keep up with the body's consumption speed.
The supermarket was not far from where Zhao Shi lived. After entering the supermarket, Zhao Shi went straight to the meat section and bought ten kilograms of pork, beef, and mutton.
Even if the digestion speed cannot keep up with the consumption speed, you have to eat a lot of meat to make up for it. Moreover, before the body's deficit is made up, it is no longer suitable to continue practicing martial arts.
"Ah, I didn't expect that practicing fast would also bring troubles."
Zhao Shi sighed inwardly.
If Lord Bao knew about Zhao Shi’s cultivation speed, he would be astonished.
Ding.
Zhao Shi had just finished stewing the pork when his cell phone vibrated.
He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Feng Xiaoxia. There was no text, just a picture, a picture of the West Lake scenery.
Zhao Shi thought for a moment and replied, "Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng took you to the West Lake. Take a good look around and broaden your horizons. The road of life is not always smooth. Once you get over this hurdle in your heart, you will suddenly see the light."
After editing, Zhao Shi thought about it and sent the words out.
Ah!
Soon, Feng Xiaoxia replied with one word.
Zhao Shi just smiled. According to her parents, Feng Xiaoxia should be extremely introverted. He guessed that the failure in the exam made her feel inferior and blamed herself, and she didn't know how to face her parents and teachers who had placed high hopes on her.
So, being able to give a reply is already very good.
"Go to bed early!" Zhao Shi said!
"Good night!" said the girl.
"good night!"
In a small chain hotel by the West Lake in Hangzhou, Feng Xiaoxia looked at Zhao Shi's reply in silence. Finally, after seeing Zhao Shi's good night, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Don't know why.
They only talked for a few words, but she felt very relieved.
Maybe it was because they shared the same suffering, or maybe it was because today she met the person she once admired, and the other person was living a better life than she had imagined.
You know, the man she once admired had once become the biggest joke in the entire village, town, and even the county. Now that she saw him come out, she was happy for him.
After looking through his phone for a while and checking some information, Zhao Shi fell into a deep sleep.
"Please show your divine power, Daddy!"
When he was deep in sleep, Zhao Shi heard his daughter's voice in his mind.
Hearing his daughter's call, Zhao Shi's consciousness instantly appeared on the tablet in the other world.
At this time, the Zhao family's yard was full of people.
All are women.
Some of them had lived in the Zhao family during this period, and there were also many people that Zhao Shi had never seen.
Not only the Zhao family yard, but also the yards on both sides were opened up at this time. The other two yards were also filled with women, including old ladies in their forties or fifties, middle-aged women in their twenties or thirties, and girls of thirteen or fourteen years old.
There are at least two hundred people.
I'm afraid all the women in Anpingfang have come.
And this is exactly what Zhao Shi wanted.
As the incense was lit, Zhao Shi's figure slowly appeared.
"Ancestral spirits!"
“Is this the ancestral spirit?”
"The Zhao family really has an ancestral spirit"
"How did his family succeed in summoning?"
When Zhao Shi appeared, the courtyard suddenly became noisy. There was a surprise.
There are sighs.
There is also envy and jealousy.
"Sir, does your Zhao family really charge for needlework and embroidery products at market prices?" At this time, a slightly loud woman's voice sounded in the yard.
The moment this voice appeared, the originally noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet.
After all, what they care about most is wages.
"Who are you? The sister-in-law of Erniu, right? Where is brother Erniu? He said he would treat me to a drink that year!" Zhao Shi did not answer, but looked at the woman who was speaking.
A big, strong woman.
Zhao Shi thought about it and remembered who this woman was.
"Oh, I didn't expect that you still remember my Erniu. Erniu is gone. He was doing labor service two years ago and never came back!" Hearing Zhao Shi's words, the strong woman said with a smile.
Even when talking about Erniu's death, there was no sadness at all.
Zhao Shi understood that it was not that they were cold-blooded, but that death had become the norm for them.
"What a pity! Erniu still owes me a drink!" Zhao Shi sighed.
"Haha, don't worry, my lord. Erniu is gone, but my son Xiaoniu is still here. Even if my son is gone, my grandson is still here! I can always pay it back!"
The woman laughed.
Zhao Shi listened and secretly sighed in his heart, this might be the meaning of blood inheritance!
Zhao Shi put away his sadness and said with a smile: "Okay, let your little Niu remember that he must treat me to a drink later!" After that, he looked at the strong woman curiously and said: "Erniu's family, I remember Erniu boasted that you were the best in a hundred except for needlework. As for needlework, even he can't compare with you. How come you can do needlework and embroidery now?"
"boom"
"Ha ha."
"Erniu's family, I didn't expect that you are not even as good as Erniu!"
"You and your Erniu should really switch places. You take care of the outside affairs, and he takes care of the inside affairs."
"Ha ha."
As soon as Zhao Shi finished speaking, the whole yard burst into laughter, and some people even started teasing Erniu's wife.
Obviously, these people all know Erniu and his wife.
"Go away, go away, you bunch of sluts, what do you know?" Erniu's wife was not angry about this, she waved her hand and shouted at the man who was laughing fiercely.
After Erniu's wife finished talking about these women, she turned to Zhao Shi and said, "I didn't expect that you would still remember me. This is an honor for my Erniu. I am still like this and will never learn needlework in my life. But my Xiaoniu's wife is an expert needleworker. Everyone in this neighborhood knows it. My grandson just woke up and is breastfeeding at home. She will come over soon."
Erniu's wife said to Zhao Shi with a smile, but Zhao Shi saw gratitude in Erniu's wife's eyes, perhaps thanking him for still remembering Erniu.
Human life is like grass!
Death is like a lamp going out.
In another world, when a person dies, there are still people other than children and grandchildren who remember him. This is the greatest respect for the dead.
"Okay, then I'll have to take a look later!" Zhao Shi said, and then he glanced around the yard. As Zhao Shi glanced around, the originally noisy yard gradually became quiet.
No one spoke at this time, and no one made jokes or made any trouble.
After all, what Zhao Shi said next might be related to their family's livelihood. Perhaps it was this income that could save the family's lives in these troubled times.
"Everyone, I don't know much about needlework and embroidery, but the Zhao family has now opened a workshop. It's always inconvenient for a woman to be in charge, so I'll come and explain it!"
"I divide women's embroidery into three grades. The third grade is also the worst grade. This grade is ordinary and can be sold. My Zhao family will buy it at the normal market price when you sell it outside!"
"The second-class ones are better made than the average ones, to the extent that wealthy families can buy them. My Zhao family will buy them at twice the market price!"
"Finally, there is the first-class. In my opinion, the first-class ones are those that are far beyond the ordinary level and have reached the level of lifelikeness. People can recognize and remember them at a glance. My Zhao family will buy them at five times the market price!"
Zhao Shi loudly stated the price he had set.
