16. Chapter 16

"Well, it looks like Sister Liu is splashing, and she can't cover it when she smells it."

"Who's to blame? It's no wonder that Wen Qing is not clean with her hands and feet. ”

"It is estimated that after this incident, Aunt Xiao's tailor shop will not be able to open."

The words of the other customers in the store fell on Sister Liu's ears, and Sister Liu's "retreat" just now faded in the "standing line" of customers, and became violent again.

"I slander you? Go call the police! Report, if you have the ability, you will tell me about stealing cloth to make shoes! Sister Liu shouted, and this shouting attracted more passers-by to watch.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"This tailor shop pits regular customers with fabrics!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Isn't that what is going on?"

"It can't be true, can it? In the future, I don't dare to make clothes and buy fabrics here. ”

"It's too black-hearted, it's not easy for everyone to make money these days, and they actually steal cloth, I can't see it, such a beautiful girl, doing such a dirty thing!"

"It's disgusting, I'm never going to make clothes here again!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

For a while, all the gossip pointed to Wen Qing.

The shoe repair uncle was outside the store, and he squeezed into the store several times, but was squeezed out of the store by passers-by, he was anxious, how could a little girl Wen Qing deal with such a big thing.

I should be scared to cry, I should be angry, right? The shoe repairer thought so and continued to move forward: "Let one go, let one go." ”

Uncle Shoe Repair still didn't squeeze into the store, but he saw Wen Qing, Wen Qing didn't cry, no anger, no fear, but peaceful, which made Uncle Shoe Repair look at each other, I didn't expect Wen Qing Ji to be young, quite able to carry things.

"Say, do you lose money?" Sister Liu is aggressive.

Wen Qing raised her eyes and looked at the inside and outside of the store, they were all people joining in the fun, and there was no way to go out to report if she wanted to call the police, so she turned to look at Sister Liu and said, "I'll do the math." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sister Liu immediately raised a triumphant smile.

There was a commotion inside and outside the store:

"Are you going to lose money?"

"Eighty percent is, there are so many people here, she can't play tricks if she wants to."

"Then I'll let her lose my money later."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wen Qing looked at the crowd and asked, "May I ask, is there an accountant here, or can you settle accounts?" ”

When Wen Qing said this, everyone was puzzled. But here in the 80s, anyone who knew a few words and could settle accounts was regarded as "knowledgeable", and generally "knowledgeable" feared that others would not know that they were "knowledgeable", so as soon as Wen Qing said this, a man and a woman stood up.

"I'm an accountant."

"I will settle accounts, but not accountants, and I will calculate the sale of my family's melon seeds."

Everyone speculated.

"What is she doing with accountants and bookkeepers?"

"Of course it's a refund, otherwise what's the account?"

"That's it."

Hearing everyone say this, Sister Liu and several of her companions became even more proud. Hum! Wen Qing returned the money like this, not only could he not buy a good reputation, but later generations did not dare to come to Aunt Xiao's tailor shop to buy fabrics to make clothes, and Wen Qing's reputation was ruined, anyway, Wen Qing no longer had a good reputation in Shuiwan Village.

"Grandma Wu, what grade is your granddaughter in?" Wen Qing looked at the little girl in front of Grandma Wu and asked.

The little girl immediately said, "Sister, I am in the fourth grade of primary school, and I know a lot of big characters." ”

"That little sister, can you help your sister read?" Wen Qing said with a smile.

"Okay."

At this time, I don't know who laughed "poof" and muttered: "I can't read, so I'm still a tailor, hehe." ”

Wen Qing heard it and didn't think so.

The shoe repairer outside the store wondered, Wen Qing was obviously literate, why did he let the little girl read.

After Wen Qing invited out the accountant, the accountant and the little girl, he treated the three of them extremely politely.

The little girl covered her mouth shyly and smiled, not knowing how tense the atmosphere was now.

Wen Qing looked at Sister Liu and asked, "Sister Liu, what kind of cloth did you buy?" ”

"Qinglun." Sister Liu replied with her chin high.

"How many feet?"

"Eight feet."

"What to do?"

"T-shirts and cropped pants."

"Did you bring your clothes?"

"Nope."

"How much do you sell?"

"Two cents a piece."

"It's three feet five."

"Yes."

"Do you have trouser pockets?"

"Yes?"

"How many?"

"One of course."

"Is the zipper diagonal, or is it straight?"

"Diagonally."

"What kind of cloth shoes are you talking about, and what is the size of the shoes?"

Sister Liu looked at Wen Qing, swept around the people again, muttered in her heart how Wen Qing lost money, thinking that she might lose more, so she said: "It's round cloth lace, and the shoe size is thirty-seven." ”

"What lace?"

"Red lace."

Wen Qing nodded, and then said: "Thirty-seven yards of round cloth lace lace, the upper is four inches five inches wide and one foot three long." Settle accounts, am I right? ”

The settler immediately took a wooden ruler, measured the cloth for the upper of a thirty-seven-yard round cloth shoe, and counted it on the paper with the tip of a pen for a while before replying: "Wen Qing is right, the cloth is five inches wide and one foot three long." ”

Everyone was stunned.

"Just knowing a shoe size and shoe shape counts as cloth."

"Wen Qing is so powerful at such a young age."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Sister Liu is a little confused, what is this Wen Qing going to do?

After Wen Qing finished asking, he looked at the accountant and the bookkeeper and asked, "Have you written it down?" ”

"Wrote it down."

Wen Qing looked at Sister Liu again and asked gently, "Sister Liu, can I take a look at your figure?" ”

Sister Liu wanted to say no, look left and right, everyone was looking at her, she was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and then said, "Measure." ”

Wen Qing took the tape measure and measured Sister Liu's shoulder width, arm length, upper body length, and lower body length, during which she asked, "Has Sister Liu become thinner recently?" ”

Sister Liu couldn't figure out what Wen Qing was doing, let alone how much Wen Qing wanted to pay herself, so she replied in a stiff voice: "I'm not thin, I'm the same as before." ”

Hearing this, Wen Qing smiled, and then reported: "The sleeve length is four inches, the length of the clothes is one foot five, and the length of the pants is two feet." Then asked Sister Liu: "Was it this size at the beginning?" ”

Sister Liu was stunned.

Wen Qing turned his head and took out a small notebook from the counter, which clearly wrote this number jΓΉ.

Sister Liu suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and couldn't help but panic, and immediately shouted: "Wen Qing, you are stealing fabric!" ”

At this time, the accountant and the accountant counted the number jΓΉ, and then the accountant said: "The material used to make clothes is generally two lengths and two trouser lengths, according to this number, the fabric is eight feet, which is already seven feet." ”

"Then she's greedy!" Sister Liu pointed at Wen Qing and said firmly.

Everyone looked at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing was silent.

The accountant said, "Wen Qing is not greedy. I forgot to count the sleeve length, and the two sleeves were eight inches long. Seven feet eight for eight feet of cloth, and the other two inches should be in the trouser pocket. After the accountant finished speaking, he handed the little book to the little girl, and the little girl read the numbers vividly.

The customers in the store are often making clothes, and it may not be counted if there are many processes, but simple ones like undershirts and cropped pants are not difficult to calculate.

"Eight-foot cloth, just in time to run out."

"Dig up the circle and get some rags left."

"That's not enough to make shoes, and shoes need to be made of cloth to look good."

"That means Wen Qing didn't steal the cloth at all?"

"Not only did she steal the cloth, but the entire county counted as cloth, and it is estimated that it is not as accurate as her, almost an inch of cloth."

"So powerful?"

"My grandmother used to be a tailor, so she wasn't so accurate!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

No matter how much Sister Liu foreshadowed in front of her, how justified she was, at this moment, the ironclad figures were in front of her, and she could not be allowed to quibble. Her face was blue for a while, and white for a while was extremely unsightly.

Seeing this, the shoe repairer laughed silently, and said that Wen Qing was definitely not the one who stole the cloth! Looking at the big shoes of the accountant and accounting, I understood that Wen Qing was looking for them to count the authenticity of jΓΉ, and to find a little girl to read it because the child would not tell lies. The shoe repair uncle secretly gave Wen Qing a thumbs up, and he could treat it calmly in this case, so good. He smiled and smiled, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly withdrew from the crowd and rushed to his small shoe repair stall.

At this time, Sister Liu was standing in the center of the store with no momentum, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't seem to have the strength to say anything.

Wen Qing slowly said: "Sister Liu, I want to tell you a little, I never make cloth shoes in Qinglunbu, first, Qinglun cloth has poor air permeability, everyone works and eats, and it is easy to sweat and cause foot odor." Don't believe me, look at the cloth shoes on the counter. ”

Everyone followed Wen Qing's pointing and looked at a few pairs of shoes on the counter.

"There really aren't any shoes for Sunny Lunbu."

"Well, Qinglun is indeed not breathable."

"So, Wen Qing was wronged?"

Sister Liu also said that Wen Qing stole her Qinglun cloth with ink to make shoes? How do you say that? ”

"Of course it's a lie!"

"I'll just say, Aunt Xiao has been opening a store for several years!"

"Why do you want to target Wen Qing?"

"I want to kick Wen Qing out of Aunt Xiao's tailor shop."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A lot of discussions flew into Sister Liu's ears, and several women behind Sister Liu were empty-hearted, their faces turned red, and they were ready to walk away.

Sister Liu didn't give up, and said: "It's impossible to use eight feet of cloth cleanly!" What about the rest of the cloth? Definitely let you steal! ”

As soon as Sister Liu's words fell, the shoe repairer squeezed into the store panting with a worn-out small sack: "Let one, let one go!" ”

"Who is this?" Someone asked curiously.

"yes, how come there is a person?"

"Oh! This is the shoe repair uncle at the door, I know! ”

"What is he doing here?"

As soon as the shoe repairer stood firm, he untied the worn-out small sack, pulled up a corner, and a bag of small cloth heads and small cloth strips slipped out of the sack, the red, white, blue, and green ones were the largest but the bottom of the bowl, and the smallest was like a nail cover, and the shoe repair uncle said: "Find it, you make the small cloth head left over from the clothes, the small cloth strips are all here, the old man, I watched Aunt Xiao throw away the strange pity, and they all brought it back as a cushion and sat under the buttocks." Sister Liu, get your Qinglun cloth strip back and take it home. ”

I don't know who laughed in the crowd.

Sister Liu's face flushed.
