FSC [QT] Chapter 18.1

“Baozhu is back.”

Although Bai Xiaohua was provocative in private, she was still very affectionate toward Xu Baozhu, a capable sister-in-law.

“The puppets you asked your second sister-in-law and I to make are all ready. They are all made according to the patterns you gave us. Take a look, are there any changes that need to be made?”

Bai Xiaohua affectionately took Xu Baozhu’s arm and walked toward her house, not forgetting to wink at her younger sister-in-law Liu Zhaodi who was not far away.

“Okay, let me take a look.”

Xu Baozhu was in a daze. After hearing her sister-in-law’s words, she temporarily focused on the matter at hand.

Previously, her pattern was humiliated by the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Cloth Store. Xu Baozhu was holding her anger in her heart. She knew that some of the shopkeeper’s words made sense, but she still couldn’t bear the thought of him embarrassing her in front of so many people.

Therefore, after returning from the county town, she gave those drawings to her eldest sister-in-law and her second sister-in-law, asked them to make samples according to the patterns she drew, and then sold them in the market.

Xu Baozhu believes in the charm of cartoon dolls. When the children she sees are clamoring to buy them, the sales volume of the dolls will increase. She is afraid that the bosses of the clothes shops will cry and clamor to buy her patterns. At that time, she will let the shopkeeper beg her in a humble manner.

“Don’t tell me, those patterns look weird. Once they are made, they will look quite rare.”

Bai Xiaohua took a Q-version puppy she had made and handed it to Xu Baozhu.

Because of what Shopkeeper Qian said, Xu Baozhu improved the original pattern a lot, canceling some cartoon patterns that the ancient people might not have been able to appreciate, as well as some colors and zodiac images that were currently taboo.

The patterns that Bai Xiaohua and Liu Zhaodi received were almost all cute animals. For example, the dog doll that Bai Xiaohua brought to Xu Baozhu was still the image of a dog. But it had a big head and a small body, and some of its facial features were exaggerated.

“The fabric is still not good, and the workmanship is a bit rough. How did you choose this color scheme? Didn’t you agree that ginger thread should be used for the ears?”

Xu Baozhu had seen too many dolls in modern times, so she didn’t like the rough-made dolls that Bai Xiaohua gave her at all. It was just that there were not so many fabrics to choose from in this era, and even the colors of fabrics and threads were limited. At least at Xu Baozhu’s current level, there were some rare colors that only high-ranking officials and nobles could access.

Therefore, under such limited conditions, the puppets that Bai Xiaohua and Liu Zhaodi were able to create were very mediocre and could not achieve the two-tenths of the effect Xu Baozhu expected.

“Baozhu, what color is the ginger color you are talking about? The silk threads at the shop only have these colors. Your second sister-in-law and I are both stupid. How about you buy some fabric and silk thread that you like, then your second sister-in-law and I can help you make it again?”

Bai Xiaohua’s expression was inevitably a little cold.

What kind of talk is this?

Her sisters-in-law took the time to help her make these gadgets, but she couldn’t even say a word to them, and now she was accusing them of rough workmanship.

This was quite unusual. She disliked their craftsmanship so much that she took money to find an embroiderer in a cloth shop. She really thought that she was the ancestor of the family. There were no rules at all.

Before Xu Baozhu traveled through time, she was just an ordinary high school student. As the only daughter in the family, she was used to being willful. She did not notice the growing dissatisfaction between her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law.
