Chapter 444: Neighbors

The young woman was more talkative, and she could talk to them quite well, and raised the basket in her hand while speaking: "This is not embroidered with some embroidery, I want to sell it on the street quickly, and then change some embroidery thread back, but the children at home are small, and I don't feel at ease when I look at the big ones, so I want to hurry up."

It turns out that a woman is just an ordinary family, and her lifestyle in the capital is similar to that in a small place, and a woman with a little female red skill will also rely on this skill to supplement her family.

And her husband went out to work, he went out early and returned late, they were the middle sons, and the parents-in-law lived with the eldest son, and the two children in the family, the eldest was six years old and the younger was three years old, and they were all taken to the street for fear of not being able to watch them, so they locked them in the house.

"That's pretty hard, it's just my sister-in-law, I don't know what places in this capital are worth seeing, we just arrived, and we don't know anything about it. ”

The woman smiled: "There are a lot of places to see here, but I'm a little busy, otherwise I'll take you around, after all, the child is at home, I don't worry." ”

Liu Qingxi saw that she was a cheerful and hospitable person, and then thought for a while: "Sister-in-law, otherwise, you take the child out, I will let the maid help watch it, and you take us around." ”

After speaking, she paused and then said: "Don't worry, I won't let you waste your time in vain, I will pay you, and you should take us to get acquainted with the capital." ”

The woman looked at them a few more times, obviously Liu Qingxi and Wen were the masters, and then looked at the four maids behind her, although the clothes of this group of people could not be compared with those of famous families, but compared with other families in the alley, it was already good.

Looking at Liu Qingxi's expression again, she doesn't look like a liar, after all, she can't take precautions, and after being sure of what she thinks, she can let it go.

"Hey, what kind of salary do you want, we will be neighbors in the future, and it is right to help each other, so I'll go back and take the child out, you wait a while." ”

After a while, the woman came out with two children, the older one was a boy, looking at Liu Qingxi and the others vividly, and the younger one was a girl, looking at the group of people in front of her in confusion.

"The child has never seen you, and he is a little scared. The woman explained with a smile.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, let the maid help hold it, you're tired alone. ”

Chunliu Xiahe listened to Liu Qingxi's words, and stepped forward to pick up the child next to the woman with a look in his eyes.

Along the way, the women helped introduce each street, and the street they lived in was called Maple Grove Lane, which was an ordinary residential area, some of them did a small business, and some of them worked in the shops on the street.

This is their skill to make a living, although life is not good, but it is not bad, food and clothing are no problem, but it is not very rich.

From the conversation with the woman, they learned that the woman's surname was Zhou, and that her husband worked in a grain store on the street, and he went out at dawn every day and could not return until the store closed at night.

The monthly salary is one tael, although it is much higher than that of those villagers in Shilipu, but in the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, it is only enough to live for food and clothing.

Therefore, she often does some embroidery to supplement the family: "Listen to your accent, it will not be too close to the capital, where are you from?"

Liu Qingxi replied: "We are from Linyi County, Lingjiang Province, maybe you haven't heard of it, thousands of miles of land." So the group of them all had some accents.

"No wonder, hey, when I arrived, the front is Qinglong Street, the most prosperous street in the capital, the things sold in the shops here are more exquisite, of course, the price is also expensive, every time I sell embroidery to the store over there. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to a shop not far away, which looked quite large from the outside, with an endless stream of customers coming in and out, and business was quite hot.

And the woman has a hint of pride on her face, and if the craftsmanship is not good, people don't accept it at all.

"It's because the quality of the embroidery inside is good, so those rich people like to come here, every month I repair the handkerchief sold here, can earn a few hundred Wen, if you meet a big embroidery, the money is more." ”

Zhou was proud of his craft, and Liu Qingxi was also amazed: "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing!" No way, she can't hold a needle herself, and every time she makes clothes, she asks people to help.

So in my heart, I still admire the lifelike embroidery embroidered by these women.

"Where is it, it can be easier to subsidize the men in the family once in a while, or else, I will change the things first, and then take you around?"

"No problem, sister-in-law, you go, it just so happens that we will also go to the clothes store to see if there is anything needed, just with you." ”

A group of several people went straight to the clothes shop, and as soon as they stepped in, they felt the difference in temperature from the outside.

Liu Qingxi looked to the side, several ice basins were placed in the corner, no wonder there was the heat of the autumn tiger outside, and it was so refreshing inside.

I have to say that this clothing shop is quite big, backward in ancient times, ice was used in summer, but it was basically sky-high, and it was all stored in a deep cellar dug in winter for use in summer.

It's no wonder that people who come in and out are dressed richly at a glance, at this level, just one day's ice consumption is enough for ordinary people to live for a month or two.

Obviously, Zhou is more familiar with the people in the store, and as soon as he entered, he directly found a guy: "This is my embroidery this time, can you take the time to calculate it for me?"

"No problem, you come with me. "The attitude of the guy is quite polite, because the quality of Zhou's embroidery is very good, some handkerchiefs or something, especially in the summer, more popular with guests.

In addition, the price she asks for is not high, and she can make a lot of money in the store every time, so her attitude is naturally polite.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou happily came out with an empty basket, his steps were much brisker, and when he saw Liu Qingxi, he immediately walked quickly to this side.

"Miss Liu, Mrs. Wen, how did you choose? If you buy it, I'll be familiar with my buddy and see if it's cheaper." This time, because the demand for embroidery is relatively large, she has to be in a hurry, and she is happy that she has paid 500 yuan.

It just so happened that Liu Qingxi felt that he had changed places, and he should pick some materials for his family and remake a batch of new clothes, so he discussed with the Wen family which one was better.

Seeing that Zhou was so enthusiastic, his good impression of her doubled: "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law, I want these pieces of cloth, and by the way, I will pull a few more clothes for these materials." She gestured to the almost-picked path in front of her.

Among them, the pieces of fabric were made for the subordinates in the family, and the rest of the orders were bought for Yang Yichen, Liu Qingyan and themselves.

Zhou didn't expect them to buy so much, so he was stunned for a moment, and then went to call the guy who had just settled the bill for her: "This is my new neighbor, see if it can be a little cheaper." ”

In the end, under Zhou's persuasion, the other party gave a bargain of one or two silver, which made Liu Qingxi raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Although it is not much compared to a few dozen taels of silver, it is not a small amount for people who do business to be cheaper by one tael.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for helping me save so much money. ”
