New Printing and Dyeing Products Shine in the Market
Su Yunlan arrived at the bustling dyeing market with her newly renovated printed fabrics.
She deliberately chose a location with a high volume of people, and Lao Ershi quickly set up his stall, displaying the various fabrics like a peacock spreading its tail.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—each color is bright and vibrant, shimmering and sparkling in the sunlight, like a giant colorful painting.
A gentle breeze carried a faint, pleasant scent of dye, attracting many passersby to stop and watch.
Su Yunlan stood in front of the stall, feeling both expectant and a little nervous.
She poured a lot of effort into this batch of new dyeing and printing products, and whether they can gain market recognition depends on this one step.
The market was bustling with activity, filled with shouts and bargaining, creating a lively atmosphere.
Su Yunlan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She believed in her product and in her own judgment.
However, just as she was about to begin enthusiastically introducing the product to the customer, a familiar yet unpleasant voice rang out.
"Oh, isn't this Madam Su? What, here to sell these fancy things again?"
Su Yunlan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qian Ke standing arrogantly in the crowd with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
His fat face was plastered with a mocking smile, which made people feel uncomfortable just looking at him.
“I say, Madam Su, the color of your cloth is quite vibrant, but who knows if it’s all show and no substance? What’s the quality of the dye? Will it fade after washing? I’ve heard that some people will do anything, no matter how unethical, to make money.”
The customer said in a sarcastic tone, his voice neither loud nor soft, but loud enough for everyone around to hear clearly.
The customers who were originally gathered in front of the stall all hesitated when they heard his words.
"That's right, the color is quite nice, but if it fades after a few washes, it's better to buy those traditional fabrics," an older woman muttered under her breath.
“That’s right, what Boss Qian said makes sense. It’s better to be on the safe side,” another person chimed in.
Whispers began to circulate among the crowd, and customers who were initially interested in the new dyeing products started to back out.
Su Yunlan frowned slightly. She had offended Wu Yuansheng last time, but she didn't expect him to hold such a grudge.
“Boss Qian, you’re wrong about that. Our Lady Su’s cloth is of the highest quality, how could it possibly fade?” Old Twenty couldn’t help but retort.
"Top-notch? Hmph, who knows if it's just self-praise from a vendor?" Qian Ke sneered, curling his lip in disdain. "If you ask me, when it comes to fabric, you still have to look for established brands. Those that have stood the test of time are the truly good stuff."
Those around him, hearing Qian's words, became even more swayed.
After all, in this era, people place more faith in experience and tradition.
Although Su Yunlan's new dyeing products are brightly colored, they are still new products and inevitably raise doubts.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable, Su Yunlan also felt a little anxious.
She knew that if she couldn't turn things around quickly, the promotion would be a complete failure.
She composed herself, cleared her throat, and was about to speak when Qian, the customer, spoke first: "How about this, Madam Su, to prove that your fabric really doesn't fade, how about we do an experiment?"
A sly smile appeared on Qian Ke's face. He turned to the crowd and said loudly, "What do you all think?"
"Good!" someone in the crowd cheered.
Su Yunlan looked at Qian Ke's smug expression and sneered inwardly.
That old fox is definitely up to no good.
"How do you want to conduct the experiment?" Su Yunlan asked, her tone calm and devoid of any emotion.
Customer Qian chuckled, pointed to a bolt of red cloth on Su Yunlan's stall, and said, "Let's use this red cloth. We'll soak it in water in front of everyone and see if it bleeds color. If it doesn't bleed color, I'll apologize to you publicly and buy all your cloth. But if it does bleed color..."
Qian Keke paused deliberately, then said in a sinister tone, "Then get out of this market and never come back!"
Su Yunlan's eyes narrowed. If she refused, she would be seen as guilty and completely lose credibility.
But if she agrees, the consequences would be unimaginable if the experiment failed.
Just as Su Yunlan was hesitating, Xiao Yuhan appeared beside her without her noticing.
He silently took her hand and gestured with his eyes that she shouldn't worry.
A warm feeling welled up in Su Yunlan's heart. She looked at Xiao Yuhan gratefully, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I promise you."
A smug smile spread across Qian's face. He urged impatiently, "Let's get started then. I want to see just how sturdy your cloth really is!"
Su Yunlan ignored him and turned to the dyeing worker standing to the side, saying in a deep voice, "Bring the things over."
Upon receiving the order, the dyeing worker immediately placed a brand-new set of tools in front of the stall.
Unlike traditional printing and dyeing tools, these tools are more exquisite, with unique shapes and a metallic luster, making them instantly recognizable as extraordinary.
The onlookers craned their necks curiously, whispering and speculating about what Su Yunlan was up to.
Su Yunlan picked up a piece of plain white cotton cloth, and under everyone's watchful eyes, dipped it into clean water, then skillfully laid it flat on the workbench.
She picked up a special brush, dipped it in a dye that emitted a strange fragrance, and lightly sketched on the fabric.
As the pen dances across the paper, lifelike peonies leap onto the canvas, their petals layered upon each other, vibrant in color, as if delicately covered in morning dew.
The onlookers gasped in amazement; they had never seen such exquisite dyeing techniques before.
Traditional dyeing methods mostly involve soaking the fabric in a dye vat, which cannot produce such fine patterns.
Su Yunlan's skills undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for them.
The customer was left standing there, his face turning pale and then flushed.
He originally thought that Su Yunlan would soak the fabric in water, like other dyeing merchants, to prove that the fabric would not fade.
He never expected her to pull such a stunt, which completely ruined his previous plans.
He stood awkwardly in the crowd, caught between a rock and a hard place, looking like a clown.
Su Yunlan displayed the finished fabric to everyone. The peony flowers shone brightly in the sunlight, their colors vibrant and dazzling, yet without any trace of smudging.
She picked up a clean white cloth and gently wiped the petals. No color was left on the cloth, proving that the dye had strong adhesion and was not easy to fade.
A burst of enthusiastic applause and exclamations erupted from the crowd, and people flocked forward, eager to admire the exquisite fabric up close.
A confident smile appeared on Su Yunlan's face.
Xiao Yuhan stood beside Su Yunlan, looking at her tenderly. Su Yunlan turned to look at him, and their eyes met, a silent understanding flowing between them.
Su Yunlan cleared her throat, about to speak, when she was suddenly interrupted by a voice: "Madam Su, how much is this cloth?"
New Printing and Dyeing Products Shine in the Market
"Miss Su, how much is this fabric?" A simply dressed middle-aged woman squeezed in front of Su Yunlan's stall, her eyes fixed eagerly on the brightly colored peony-patterned fabric.
Su Yunlan smiled slightly and said calmly, "Auntie has good taste! This peony floral fabric is a new style we've launched. It uses an exclusive printing and dyeing technique, guaranteeing that the color won't fade and that the colors will be bright and long-lasting. To celebrate the launch of the new product, if you buy it now, you can also receive a free custom-made printed gift."
"Printed and dyed small gifts? What are they?" the aunt asked curiously.
"Auntie, whatever pattern you want, we can print it for you on the spot. Handkerchiefs, purses, anything is possible," Su Yunlan explained patiently, pointing to the printing tools laid out to the side.
These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
Customized printing and dyeing – this is a completely new and unprecedented concept!
What woman doesn't love beauty?
Who could resist the temptation of owning a unique printed gift?
"Miss Su, I want a handkerchief printed with mandarin ducks!"
"I want a purse embroidered with orchids!"
"Give me a headscarf with lotus flowers printed on it!"
Customers rushed to Su Yunlan's stall, pulling out their wallets, afraid of missing out if they were even a step too late.
Old Twenty was sweating profusely from his busy work, but his smile was exceptionally bright.
He had never seen such a bustling scene before; it was as if all the customers in the market had flocked to their stall.
In no time, Su Yunlan's stall was bustling with people.
Fabrics of all colors were snapped up, and the demand for custom printing and dyeing services was endless.
The air was filled with the sweet scent of dye and the excited chatter of people.
Other vendors around looked on with envy at the huge crowd in front of Su Yunlan's stall.
The customers standing on the periphery of the crowd, who had originally wanted to see Su Yunlan make a fool of himself, were now completely dumbfounded.
He stared wide-eyed at what he was seeing, utterly incredulous.
Those customers who used to obey him were now gathered around Su Yunlan's stall, looking down on him.
"This...how is this possible?" Qian muttered to himself, his obese face filled with shock and resentment.
Su Yunlan's printing and dyeing products, like a breath of fresh air, quickly swept through the entire dyeing market.
People praised Su Yunlan's innovations, commending her exquisite dyeing techniques and novel designs.
Su Yunlan's name quickly spread throughout the market, making her the focus of everyone's attention.
Feeling the admiring gazes of those around her, Su Yunlan was filled with pride.
She knew that her innovations in printing and dyeing had achieved a stage of success.
As night fell, the dyeing market gradually returned to calm.
Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan packed up their stall and strolled home.
Above the market, a crescent moon cast a soft glow, illuminating the path the two walked.
"Lan'er, you were amazing today." Xiao Yuhan looked at Su Yunlan beside him.
Su Yunlan smiled slightly and said, "This is just the beginning, Yuhan. I have even bigger plans." She looked up at the bright moon in the sky and murmured to herself, "The pattern design is also very important..."
