Chapter 104: Su Damei's Thoughts
bargained, and in the end, Su Damei still did not stay in Xu Ji Silk Village as an embroiderer, so she took a batch of jobs, and the salary was not low.
There are three pieces used to make fans, and they originally wanted at least five pieces, but Su Xiaoxiao has something that is rare and expensive, and suddenly Xu Ziyi and the old and young shopkeepers stopped talking. Scarcity is expensive, the reason is very simple, and there are many people who understand, but if it is really to make money, who will remember whether it is really rare and expensive, but Su Xiaoxiao said this, and they have seen it a lot when it comes to people.
Su Damei's embroidery was also sold to Xu Ji, and she got a good price, six taels of silver, which made Su Damei very surprised, and it was the first time she knew that the things she embroidered were so valuable, and she was more motivated for the next work.
The fart pink cloth that Su Xiaomei fancied costs ten taels of silver a foot, which is a bit outrageously expensive, seeing that Su Xiaomei really likes it, Su Xiaoxiao feels that if she sells the ginseng in her arms, she should also be able to buy materials for Su Xiaomei to make a piece of clothing, and she gritted her teeth and asked to know that the kind of cloth that people don't sell in parts, and if you want to buy it, you have to buy it in one whole horse, but in that case, a horse is ten zhang, and it costs three hundred taels of silver, and she doesn't have so much silver at all.
When Su Xiaomei heard that she wanted three hundred taels of silver, she immediately didn't want it, and said that she didn't like it, which made Su Xiaoxiao feel sad, but she also knew that in terms of the situation at home, they were not allowed to use such extravagant cloth. However, Su Xiaoxiao also sold Su Xiaomei another kind of muslin cloth, although it was not as good as the pink one, but it was much better than the linen cloth they were wearing now.
Su Xiaomei got a new fabric to make letter clothes, and suddenly she didn't know where to fly with that little unhappiness.
Su Xiaoxiao thought, since it was sold to Su Xiaomei, it would be good to buy it for everyone in the family at one time. coaxed Su Damei to pick a white with broken flowers, and picked a navy blue and a dark blue one for Su Dahu and Su Chaonan respectively. Su Xiaohu, Su Xiaoxiao picked a light blue one for him. Yang Cuicui's, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to pick a red horse for her, but Su Damei said that she would definitely not wear it if she made it like that, and finally Su Xiaoxiao picked a lotus one for her, and Su Damei also said yes.
Muslin is a bit more expensive than linen. But it is also much cheaper than the cloth that Su Xiaomei fancies, which is said to be a cloud weaving. A horse of ten zhang is only less than two taels of silver, a total of six horses, and more than eight taels of silver. It's a shame that Su Xiaoxiao brought the money from the family to rent the threshing machine in the past few days, otherwise, it would really not be enough to pay the bill.
Six pieces of cloth, one horse ten feet. It's enough for them to make a few clothes, but the weight is not clear. One horse is several catties, let them take it away at once, and they really can't take it, Su Xiaoxiao discussed it with the young shopkeeper. In the end, they said okay, and they would come back and get it when they finished selling other things.
Su Xiaoxiao and they walked for a long time, and the young shopkeeper was still standing at the door watching the direction of their departure. I don't know if I'm looking at the crowd or what. Or maybe it's meditating on something again.
"Princess, isn't that Miss Su?" Although the old shopkeeper guessed that Su Xiaoxiao was Situ Jingxuan's dream person, he still wanted to make sure, so that he could know that Su Xiaoxiao would come back in the future, and he would know how to treat the difference.
"Uncle Li! Do you think I'm old? Xu Ziyi was very depressed, why did she just want Su Xiaoxiao's family to add some income, so that she wouldn't show up so much, is it also wrong?
Uncle Li, that is, the shopkeeper of Old Li, glanced at Xu Ziyi with some surprise, I don't understand how she could have such an idea, you know, she is not very old, she is just in her forties, because she is well maintained, she looks like she is only in her early thirties, how can she say that she is old?
"No, the princess looks young." This Xu Ji Silk Zhuangyuan is also one of Xu Ziyi's dowries, but now the shopkeeper is not what she brought from her mother's family, but she is also an old man, just an old man from Jinyang Palace.
"Really?" Xu Ziyi didn't ask anything more, just stood up and walked around the room inside, she thought, she was a little tired.
Walking far away, Su Damei thought that Su Xiaoxiao had bought new fabrics for everyone to make clothes, but she didn't buy them herself, and took a deep look at Su Xiaoxiao, who was leading Su Xiaomei in front of a candy seller's stall, and really didn't know what to say.
"Eldest sister, yours." Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xiaomei each held a candy man in their hands, and also gave Su Damei one.
"I don't need to, just keep it for Xiaohu." For these sweet and greasy things, Su Damei doesn't like them very much.
"Second brother doesn't eat candy people, give it to me." Su Xiaomei saw that Su Xiaomei didn't want it, and wanted to leave it to Su Xiaohu, so she immediately reached out and asked for it.
Su Damei just smiled and handed the candy man in her hand to Su Xiaomei. Su Xiaomei, who got the candy man, was happy, she didn't know what she liked, so she ran over happily, afraid that she would run away, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed, Su Damei saw this, and wanted to say something, but she swallowed it and stopped talking.
Su Damei also visited the market for the first time, it was still such a big market, she was still a little cautious, but seeing Su Xiaomei and Su Xiaoxiao shopping happily, she also relaxed, because she was worried about the work, so she paid more attention to those stalls selling embroidery thread.
Although Su Xiaoxiao also visited the market in her previous life, but most of the modern ones sell clothes, shoes, and food, and she has never seen a market like this, not only selling some things in her previous life, but also bartering for things, but the most curious thing she felt was those people who had a straw stuck in their heads.
Looking at those people with straws in their heads, some are children, some are young people, some are old people, in short, men, women and children, all kinds of people, selling children and daughters, and selling fathers and mothers, most of them are children and some women. These people seem to have a characteristic, that is, their expressions are numb, as if they are very appointed, especially those old people who have been sold, their eyes are even more blank, and their expressions are numb to the extreme, which makes Su Xiaoxiao feel sad for a while.
"Second sister, let's go quickly." For such a transaction, Su Xiaomei looked very uncomfortable and didn't like it at all.
Su Damei was also very uncomfortable when she saw it, she also thought of the past, there was a time when the family was so poor that she couldn't open the pot, and she also had the idea of selling herself to a rich family as a maid, fortunately, no matter how the family couldn't get by, her father and mother never had such a thought, and even when they knew that she had this kind of mind and action, they scolded her fiercely and locked her up for a long time.
"Tiny, let's go." Su Damei is also unwilling to stay in such a place longer.
"Hmm!" Although Su Xiaoxiao is also very emotional about this phenomenon, she also knows that this is not something she can change.
Turning around, Su Xiaoxiao led Su Xiaomei and walked out after Su Damei.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Damei's back, and suddenly thought that when the original owner was there, she seemed to hear Su Chaonan scolding Su Damei angrily, and she didn't seem to remember it very clearly, anyway, it seemed to be related to what she was selling.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Su Damei's arm and asked, "Eldest sister, have you done the same?" ”
Su Damei's body stiffened suddenly, and she quickly recovered, and said softly, this is what she has thought and done, if it wasn't for her father and mother to find her that time, she thought, she might not know where to sell herself.
"Big sister!" Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, she just held Su Damei's arm tightly, she felt very uncomfortable, she knew that at that time, it was because the original owner lacked a taste of medicine, and the price was expensive, and the family was too poor at that time.
Su Damei didn't speak anymore, but Ren Su Xiaoxiao held her arm tightly and pulled Su Xiaomei on the side, very silent. (To be continued)-
