With the purchasing system in hand, he is worshipped as a god by international students

Qiu Ling repeated, "5, would you consider it?"

Luo Xiaoyu pretended to be surprised and stepped forward and said, "This embroidery is good, but why don't we take a look at other ones and compare them more? Maybe we can find one with a better value for money."

Since Qiu Ling dared to bid, it meant that they could negotiate. The boss said, "Even if you search the entire market, you won't find anything more cost-effective than my double-sided embroidery of a Tang Dynasty lady. It took the old embroiderer a year to embroider it. You can't get it for 1."

"Then how much did you say?"

The boss rolled his eyes and said, "8 yuan is the flat price. This work was consigned to my shop by the embroiderer. If the price is lower, neither she nor I will make any money."

"8? That's a bit high. Are you a famous embroiderer?" Qiu Ling pretended to be hesitant.

"Let's not talk about fame for now, just look at whether this craftsmanship is worth 8!" The boss's answer indirectly confirmed that the embroiderer who made this embroidery is not famous.

The craftsmanship is quite good, but the embroiderer is not famous, so she can't sell it for too high a price later on. But she can still make some money because the embroidery is so beautiful.

Qiu Ling hesitated for a moment, and finally made the decision: "8 yuan."

"Okay, I'll pack it for you right away!"

Then Qiu Ling bought more than a dozen masterpieces in succession in this store, buying out all the beautiful mid- to high-end embroidery products. Although the boss was heartbroken from the haggling, the consignment fee must be considerable after selling so many embroidery products at one time!

The boss thoughtfully prepared high-quality packaging boxes and packed the goods in front of Qiu Ling while wearing gloves.

I forgot to pay the price for the porcelain I bought in the Original Market, resulting in a small loss.

This time, Qiu Ling learned her lesson and asked the boss to write the price of each embroidery item on a piece of paper and stick it on the surface of the box for reference in the future pricing.

Handmade embroidery cannot be mass-produced. The price of each one is determined based on factors such as the fame of the embroiderer, color matching, complexity of the pattern, and the level of embroidery technology. Different prices will naturally result in different selling prices.

The main thing is that embroidery is really expensive, and if you set the price arbitrarily, you will definitely suffer a huge loss.

Qiu Ling wants to make money.

......

The route map made by Luo Xiaoyu was very clear, but the time estimate was off by more than a little bit.

Seven days had already passed with only half of the route completed.

"I have already informed the head of the cargo airline. He will reserve seats for us on the next cargo plane from Xiangcheng to Yangcheng." After Luo Xiaoyu hung up the phone, he reported the results of the communication to Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling sat in the passenger seat and ate a steamed bun with her eyes closed. "I have only been observing the embroidery carefully for a few days, and my eyes hurt. I really admire those embroiderers."

"Then I'll drive slower and you can take a rest. We're mainly going to look at bags and ready-made clothes today, which will probably be very tiring for the eyes." After saying this, Luo Xiaoyu slowly slowed down the car.

Qiu Ling rubbed her eyes and said, "Let's drive faster. We can finish our get off work earlier and complete our 2 steps a day. Then we can go eat something delicious to replenish our energy. Didn't you say that the last stop of today's trip will be near a delicious Hunan restaurant? I want to try it."

"Then I'll reserve a seat first. That shop is very popular and there won't be a long queue." Luo Xiaoyu looked straight ahead, holding the steering wheel with one hand and picking up the mobile phone hanging on his chest with the other.

Qiu Ling stuffed the buns back into the plastic bag and said, "Give me the phone number. I'll call."

As the saying goes, don't drive while you're on the phone, and the key point is that she is still in the car.

Qiu Ling used her mobile phone to reserve a private room. She was not familiar with the menu and planned to order when she arrived at the place in the evening.

Today's journey is not far, it only takes 50 minutes to drive there.

There are more embroidery workshops on this street than restaurants. Luo Xiaoyu has learned about the prices in advance, so there is no need for her to compare prices from three different shops. She can just start from the first shop.

This store not only sells small purses, but also daily handbags, clutches, wallets, and canvas bags. The embroidery patterns on the bags are first made into embroidery pieces and then sewn on the surface of the bags. Qiu Ling only needs to take a quick glance to see that the embroidery patterns on the bags are not as delicate as the ornaments and landscape paintings.

The proprietress saw Qiu Ling's disappointed look and instantly understood something. "If we don't have the style you want here, we also accept customization. We have 10 embroiderers in our store. One of them has been making bags for 45 years and started learning embroidery at the age of 10. Her skills are very mature."

As she spoke, she took out a picture album and handed it to Qiu Ling to look through. "These custom bags are all made by this old embroiderer. The prices range from 2000 to 8000. You should be able to see that these are more exquisite and beautiful than all the bags sold in my store."

The pictures are very clear, and since she has been taking a lot of extra classes during this period, the difference is naturally visible.

"Are there no finished products?" Qiu Ling asked, pointing at the album.

The lady boss shook her head embarrassedly, "Handicraft is not easy to make. We usually keep the fine embroidery samples and only provide them to customers who make custom orders. If we rashly make the finished products and fail to sell them, we will lose a lot."

Qiu Ling also knows that some embroiderers receive wages, while others do consignment sales. Generally speaking, the wages are not high. At that time, people's awareness of intangible cultural heritage inheritance is not strong, so it is not easy to sell embroidery at a good price to ordinary people. Fine embroidery samples should naturally be left to customers who are knowledgeable or love embroidery, so that they can be sold at a good price worthy of the craftsmanship.

Qiu Ling refused the customized service and selected 20 good-looking and well-made bags from a large number of finished bags, with prices ranging from 98 to 800 yuan.

In order to avoid the store exchanging goods, Qiu Ling arranged for Luo Xiaoyu to supervise the packing process.

She looked at the small purse on the side.

There are heart-shaped and square purses, each of which is placed in a separate box with a warning sign next to it saying "Do not touch".

There are many patterns of purses, including ginkgo leaves, red plum trees, self-created patterns, magnolia flowers, peach blossoms, white foxes, butterflies, birds landing on branches, small landscape paintings, etc. Occasionally, you can see several embroidery patterns with the same pattern but different colors, which are probably made by the same embroiderer.

The production period of this kind of small purses is not long. There are a lot of them in the store, with prices ranging from 50 to 188 yuan. Qiu Ling bought more than fifty of them at one time.

She came to the packing counter and took over from Luo Xiaoyu. "Go and have a look to see if there's a bag you like. Pick one and I'll give it to you."

"Ah? I don't need it." Luo Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed.

"Your birthday is coming soon, go pick one and consider it as my birthday present to you."

Luo Xiaoyu looked up suddenly and exclaimed, "Do you know my birthday?"

"I happened to see your ID card before, so I think I remembered it correctly." At this point, Qiu Ling thought about it carefully.

"That's right." Luo Xiaoyu smiled flattered, "I just didn't expect you to remember it."

Qiu Ling poked her arm and said, "Go and choose one. This is a benefit that every employee has."

In fact, it was Zhou Xiaojun who started it all. On his birthday, he ran to Qiu Ling and insisted that she wish him a happy birthday. They were having a video conference that day, so Qiu Ling gave him a set of Penguin Show.

When Jiang Chengwei celebrated his birthday, Qiu Ling asked him what he wanted, and he asked for a set of genuine drawing software.

There are only three formal employees under me, so it's Luo Xiaoyu's turn.

At Qiu Ling's insistence, Luo Xiaoyu chose a handbag worth 168 yuan. The embroidery pattern was a blue hydrangea. It looked very delicate from a distance, but the stitching was rather ordinary when viewed up close.

Knowing that Luo Xiaoyu was embarrassed to choose the expensive ones, Qiu Ling did not persuade her.

After paying, the proprietress helped move the carefully wrapped gift boxes into the trunk of the pickup truck.

Qiu Ling and Luo Xiaoyu moved on to the next company.

Just as I was about to enter the door, I accidentally stepped over the threshold at the same time as another person, and as luck would have it, we were both blocked in the door frame.

Qiu Ling tried to enter and the other party tried to exit.

"Or you don't move and I retreat first?" At this time, the other party spoke.

Qiu Ling felt the voice was familiar and turned around to look, "Aunt Xie?"
