Chapter 182 Ingenuity

The diet here in Gusu is light, paying attention to the original taste and deliciousness of the food. Meat is a common home-cooked dish here.

There were two such dishes on the table, one was filled with green pepper and the other was filled with oil tofu. It was mellow in color and rich in aroma.

There is also a dish of guaro meat, which is actually similar to the lychee meat in my hometown, both of which are sweet and sour. There is also a dish of fried shrimps from the water chestnuts and a dish of fried sweet potato leaves.

The last one came up with a soup, bacon, eel, winter melon soup.

Five dishes and one soup are very suitable for Zhao Bi's taste. Coastal provinces rarely eat spicy food, so they can basically adapt to each other's eating habits.

As soon as Grandma Qiu brought the rice, Bai Yunshen hurriedly stood up and added a bowl to Zhao Bi.

"Uh, thank you uncle." Zhao Bi took over the job with both hands.

"What are you thanking? They are all family members, and they don't speak two families." Bai Yunshen said carelessly.

Grandma Qiu looked at Bai Yunshen with some wonder. She naturally knew what her son's personality changed. She had rarely seen such a change in attitude of 180 degrees.

So Grandma Qiu looked at Bai Tingyu beside her with a questioning look in her eyes. The latter just shook her head and poured herself a cup of tea.

Qiu Baiwei kicked Zhao Bi gently under the table, and looked at him with a questioning look in her eyes. She was very curious. In a short time, Zhao Bi said something that conquered his uncle.

Zhao Bi smiled and did not answer this question for the time being. Instead, he clamped Qiu Baiwei's calves with his backhand. They sat on one side, which was a blind spot in their sight.

Qiu Baiwei obviously did not expect Zhao Bi to act so boldly. She glanced at the others in a panic, but she didn't dare to exert force on her feet, for fear that the movement would be too loud.

He just stared at Zhao Bi with a concealed look and signaled him to let go.

Zhao Bi is not stupid, it feels so comfortable to hold it like this, so how can I let it go? Just pretend that I didn’t see Qiu Baiwei’s feedback.

"Then let's start eating." Bai Tingyu took the lead in stretching out his chopsticks and picked up some sweet potato leaves.

"Eat for dinner." Bai Yunshen enthusiastically picked up a few chopsticks for Zhao Bi, and said, "I tell you, my mother's craftsmanship is amazing, otherwise I wouldn't have run home to eat often. I want to be..."

"Don't say anything." Bai Tingyu looked at Bai Yunshen and said lightly.

"Okay, don't talk or not." Bai Yunshen stopped nagging helplessly.

The dining table fell into silence, and only the sound of eating quietly was left.

To be honest, the food my grandmother cooked was indeed delicious, fresh and refreshing. Zhao Bi cooked three bowls of rice without any politeness.

Grandma Qiu naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but was more satisfied with Zhao Bi's bold personality. It is a blessing for young people to eat.

After dinner, Qiu Baiwei cleaned up the dishes and went back to the kitchen. Zhao Bi wanted to help, but was directly rejected. Grandma cut a small plate of apples and came out.

Bai Yunshen picked his teeth without any image, and then picked up some apples and ate them with a toothpick.

"How is it, my mother is good at craftsmanship?" Bai Yunshen asked Zhao Bi proudly.

Zhao Bi nodded in agreement: "It's delicious."

"Come on, let's talk to my uncle about the clothing factory. I want to know what would you do if I gave the factory to you?" Bai Yunshen was really curious about this and asked directly.

"I am a layman, so don't joke with me, uncle." Zhao Bi smiled and shook her head.

"It's started again, right? If you say I'll listen, just treat it as a chat."

"Actually, I think the most important thing is to go to the market, not the market to come to you. Although we are just manufacturers, we do not involve first-line sales issues.

However, we must be as good as the times and produce in advance in the current fashion. Otherwise, when the market takes the initiative to come to us, we will be able to make it at that time. No matter how fast the production cycle is, we will only eat leftovers.

To achieve this, marketing is actually extremely important. Maybe you can set up a special department to run the market. They can directly connect with retailers, and maybe they can directly skip the wholesaler step..."

Zhao Bi talked casually with Bai Yunshen, but he didn't talk about any superb business skills, but just simple and practical.

Bai Yunshen listened with relish and asked various questions from time to time. Zhao Bi was helpless and could only chat with this cheap uncle.

If he hadn't answered a call in the afternoon and left in a hurry, Zhao Bi had reason to suspect that he would have pulled him to chat until late at night.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Bi calmed down his swelling head.

Bai Tingyu was lying in the yard and reading books. Grandma Qiu and Qiu Baiwei were doing needlework in another room. To be precise, Grandma Qiu was perfecting the work and Qiu Baiwei was reading.

Zhao Bi did not sit idle in the hall, and also went to Qiu Baiwei's room. She wanted to see how grandma, the "famous embroiderer" who was "famous in the world" looked like when painting her works.

The room is on the sunny side, very spacious, with two workbenches and wooden shelves on both sides, which are filled with various exquisite Su embroidery works.

Grandma Qiu is sitting in front of the workbench now, with the needle and thread in her hand flexibly interspersed. Qiu Baiwei sat opposite her, holding her chin and watching.

When she saw Zhao Bi coming in, she made a gesture of silence at him. The latter nodded, tiptoed to Qiu Baiwei and sat down, and then looked at the opposite side quietly.

Su embroidery is a very complicated art with many traditional techniques. One of them is very difficult, that is double-sided embroidery.

As the name suggests, it means that two needles and threads are interwoven on both sides of a work to embroider two completely different works. This type of work can be collaborated with two people or done by one person.

Grandma Qiu was embroidering this double-sided embroidery alone. She wore reading glasses, her hands were very steady, and her face showed her ultimate concentration on her work. She looked completely different when she watered the flowers just now.

Zhao Bi was dazzled by the sight. A needle or some thread could embroider such a wonderful work on a piece of silk cloth.

On the front is the spring scenery, on the side is the winter snow scene. Spring has the vitality of spring and the elegance of winter.

It was obvious that a needle was penetrated back and forth in the same hole, so how could it be embroidered such two completely opposite works?

Traditional skills are true.

Like Grandma Qiu, she is obviously a craftsmanship that she has been studying for her whole life.

It was getting dark outside, and Zhao Bi was still watching with relish until Grandma Qiu put down the needle and thread in her hand. The final improvement of this work was completed.

"Grandma, you are so awesome." Zhao Bi gave a thumbs up and praised him from the bottom of his heart.

"Practice makes perfect, and time is almost done. I'm going to cook dinner." Grandma Qiu stood up and moved her somewhat stiff body gently.
