Chapter 320: Just wait and see
"Expert tailor?" Robb remembered that the old headmaster of Westwind Technical School was an expert tailor. He could tell that he was an experienced expert just by looking at his face, "Please come quickly!"
Lillian hurried to invite him. Soon, the old headmaster of Westwind Technical School came. When Lillian called him, he told him that her master wanted him to do some embroidery, so the old headmaster also brought the tools for embroidery.
Robb glanced at the tools he had brought, and couldn't help being a little confused. What kind of stuff are these? Polished shells, beautiful stones, polished small metal pieces, silk, flax, cotton, wool... are all in a mess.
Seeing Robb's strange expression, the old tailor thought that he disliked the lack of materials and said in embarrassment, "Godfather, I am poor, so there are still several kinds of materials not available, such as colorful gems, gold and silver...... I really can't afford to buy them."
Here we have to mention the differences between Chinese and Western embroidery. At this time, Eastern embroidery also tends to be light in style, basically using silk thread for embroidery. Only a few people will wrap a piece of jade in the embroidery.
But the West is totally different. The craftsmen here will use everything as embroidery materials. Everything will be embroidered on the clothes. Anyway, it is gorgeous.
Robb, anyway, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. In any world, we should respect the aesthetic standards of the world. Since people here like to use such red and purple gemstones and even feather embroidery, let's do it!
He asked Lilian to take out a white silk stockings and smiled, "Old man, I think this white silk stocking is too white. It is missing something. It's not beautiful enough. To make the girl's legs look better, you need to add something."
"Oh, I agree with Godfather." The old tailor immediately said, "I also think there are too few patterns on the silk stockings. We need to add some more interesting patterns to make them more beautiful, but I haven't decided what to add."
"As for the design, I have already thought about it." Robb made a few gestures on the silk stockings and took parchment to draw, "Look, embroider a circle of lace along the top circle..."
"Oh? This pleated design is very beautiful."
"There are some flowers embroidered on the lower leg, The old tailor immediately said, "Yes, if you embroider it with gold thread, nobles and lords like gold. If you embroider a big gold flower here, you can sell it for more! If you make gold thread from a gold coin and rust it into a flower, we can increase the price by two gold coins."
"Nothing important." The Queen smiled, "Just to tell you some data, according to my peoples statistics, in recent days, the sales of silk stockings in the city have decreased by 70% compared with the previous days."
"How idle must your people be to can count such things?" Robb laughed and roasted her, "That person should go and do something better."
The Queen snorted, "If I win, I will make you help me recover East Gran, isnt this a big deal?"
"Oh, that makes sense!" Robb answered.
The Queen did not speak, but stared at the crystal ball.
Robb did not speak either, but idled on the stone stool.
After at least a minute, the Queen finally couldn't help but say, "What the hell? After the data, are you not nervous at all?"
Robb smiled and said, "I'm not as surprised as you are. It's just a normal fluctuation. Don't pay attention to it."
The Queen squinted, "Are you going buy silk stockings from your own pockets, so you can be so calm now?"
Robb smiled, "I'm not so mean. I'm afraid you will use administrative means to interfere in the sales of silk stockings when you see you are going to lose."
The Queen hummed, "I can't do that either. It's a prohibited matter in the gambling agreement. If I really do it, I'm afraid you will not fulfill your promise."
"Good!" Robb laughed and said, "We don't play tricks. We should play fair and square. Otherwise, the final bet will be nullified."
"Just wait and see."
