Chapter 778 Chat 1
After roughly deciding on the design and the required fabrics and accessories, the Traveler Team signed a contract with Chiori.
The original contract contained a scary number that would make Paimon feel painful for a whole month, but Chizhi picked up the ink pen and changed it to a 70% discount.
Su was very surprised. "Although I said before that there would be a discount, but Qianzhi, you are discounting so much, you will definitely lose money, right?"
"We'll still charge for the materials." Qianzhi placed her hands on her abdomen and bowed solemnly to the team of travelers.
Paimon was a little confused, "Qianzhi, what are you doing?"
"You can tell from my appearance and the way I dress, right? I'm an Inazuma man." Chiori stood up. "Although I didn't specifically collect intelligence, I still know a lot of information."
"Thank you so much for everything you do for Inazuma and the people there."
The traveler team smiled at each other.
Su: "It's okay. It's been a long time. And what I did was for my friends and my own feelings. I'm not as selfless and great as you think, Chizhi."
"That's just what I said, but the facts and the result are like this." Chiori, who was good at making things clear, said bluntly, "Can you please not be so falsely modest as the Inazuma people?"
"Hmph!" Su immediately took off the shy fake smile on his face, "Since you are so grateful to us, then Qianzhi, please quickly recommend some nice accessories to me! I believe in your taste!"
"Humph!" Qianzhi also raised her head proudly like the girl, "If you want special services, then pay the price. I heard that you have a set of clothes given by the general."
——*——*——
After admiring Su's Inazuma suit, Chizhi also gave her some knowledge about the Hiizakura Meikusa Ran.
Chiori: "I remember that Kokura-ya has a treasured piece of cloth made using this technique."
Su rubbed her itchy arms, "I know, I know, it's quite expensive." They had seen it when they were shopping with Ying.
The pattern on the cloth was a hazy pink flower pattern of different shades, like a cherry blossom tree. It was pretty, but it was dyed with insect blood! She felt itchy all over.
Chiori: "Because we couldn't collect enough scarlet cherry blossoms and clarkula, the treasure of Kokuraya is cochineal, so there is only pink and no purple."
“The brocade painting dyes the red cherry blossoms, and the fragrance of the flowers lingers on my sleeves, intoxicating the nightingales several times.” The authentic red cherry blossoms and singing grass dye not only have gorgeous colors, but also have a faint fragrance.”
Paimon held Su's Inazuma clothes and sniffed, "Really? It's faint, but it's definitely there." Perhaps they had long been accustomed to this faint fragrance, so they had never noticed it.
When talking about clothes with floral scent, Su remembered the flower cluster that Hua Sanli gave her and was exploded by the general.
The flower cluster was made by Hanasakura using spiritual power and petals of the sacred cherry tree, and the lingering fragrance was even more obvious.
The shrine maidens of Narujin Taisha Shrine often pick up the fallen red cherry blossoms from the sacred cherry trees and put them in sachets and amulets.
"These are for Chizhi." Su took out two large boxes of Hizura Hydrangea and Naruto. "If it's Chizhi, maybe she can make a better Kamisakura Naruto dye."
Seeing the box full of precious materials, Qianzhi was stunned, "Why are there so many?"
Paimon revealed the answer, "Because Su lived in Narukami Taisha for a period of time, I suspect that she was the only one who took care of all the red cherry blossoms that fell from the sacred cherry tree during that period."
Su: "I didn't steal or rob. I just picked them up diligently!" Use the fox-shaped magic mine.
"Oh, right, right." Paimon perfunctorily answered his friend and continued to explain to Chizhi the origin of Mingcao. "As for Mingcao, it's even easier. Although it's rare in the wild, you can find a lot of it in the castle tower garden."
Su: "Anyway, the source is legitimate, Qianzhi, just accept it without worry."
These were not only the gifts she gave to her new friends, but also her own selfish desire. "If Qianzhi can make a dress that is similar to the Hiizaku Narukusa Ran but better than the Hiizaku Narukusa Ran, Ying and the others will have new clothes to wear that are similar to the old ones but better."
Chiori said: "I like innovation, but that doesn't mean to completely abandon the old things. Restoring and absorbing the works of predecessors and making better fabrics and clothes based on them is what I do."
"My previous dream was that people would wear Senori-ya's clothes at the festival. So what you expect of me is to make new clothes for the Shogun? This is the highest honor for an Inazuma craftsman."
Sue: "So this kind of thing is very difficult? Then..."
"No, I don't need you to introduce me to me," Qianzhi raised the corners of her lips confidently, "I will stand before the general with my works."
Su and Paimon applauded loudly, feeling that Chizhi, who had dreams, persistence and confidence, was shining.
Qianzhi turned and walked to the other side, "Don't you want me to recommend some accessories for you? Come and take a look."
Paimon: "Chizhi is shy?"
Su affirmed, "A little bit."
Chizhi: "If you keep mumbling, I'll let you see for yourself."
——*——*——
Chiori-ya has many exquisite accessories, including hats, fans, handbags, gloves, stockings and various jewelry.
There are many different materials and styles of top hats, like one made of a small boat, one woven from straw, and different styles are suitable for different occasions.
Sue took off various hats and tried them on. Some were decorated with flowers made of silk and satin, some were covered with a large area of intricate and delicate lace, and some were pinned with a bright fluffy feather.
"This hat is so cute!" Paimon took a hat lined with cotton lace, decorated with flowers and a bunch of small fruits and put it on Sue's head, "It's perfect for a picnic in the garden or on the lawn."
Chiori: "Bonnet hat? Forget it for both of you. One of you looks like a fake lady when wearing it, and the other one looks like a baby when wearing it."
Paimon muttered, "Chizhi is being completely rude now! Besides, the contrast is also great."
When Su just sits there quietly without moving or talking, she looks like an elegant and melancholy lady!
Qianzhi pretended not to hear and urged the two guys who would start playing if they were not watched to come over and look at the accessories.
"What I recommend is shell carving." Qianzhi opened a glass box and let Su and Paimon see the various shell carvings on the velvet cushion.
The large ones include shell-carved fans, while the small ones include brooches, earrings, bracelets, shell beads, etc.
It is more simple than gems, warmer than crystal, and more translucent than jade.
If you hold it up to the light, it will emit an ever-changing rainbow-colored pearlescent glow.
Chiori: "Inazuma is the country that exports the most shells, followed by Liyue. But most of the world-renowned shellfish ornaments are produced in Fontaine."
"On the one hand, some top-quality shells, such as the blue crystal snail, are only produced in Fontainebleau. On the other hand, Fontainebleau has fine processing equipment and artistic heritage."
Su thought of the Lemurian Dynasty. That's right, the ancestors of Fontaine were engaged in sculpture art thousands of years ago, and it would be easy for their descendants to carve a shell.
