Chapter 131: Red Eyes
Each of the four or five sturdy horses pulled a chariot full of cloth, soft muslin and rich coats; Needlework and thread are also available.
Cloth needles and threads were piled up all over the hall, and the boards were full of boards. Seeing the fine cloth kept being brought into Hu Xiaomei's house, some people were so jealous that their eyes were red.
There were a few sincere people who came to say hello to Wei Sanniang: "After bringing so much cloth, I believe that this business must be a big order." ”
Wei Sanniang raised her chin slightly, smiled at the crowd and said: "This list is indeed a big business, and I am afraid that I will have to trouble your sisters-in-law for a hard time." ”
"Where, this should be what we said, fortunately your family and the sewing shop are in business, otherwise where would we find this job?" Wang's heart is skillful, and he took the opportunity to meet Wei Sanniang's family, and indirectly told everyone that it all depends on Wei Sanniang's family to do this needlework.
This time, one or two people on the list are no longer enough, in addition to inviting the Wang family, the Xiang family, the Kong family, the Mei family, the Ruan family, the Chen family, and the Tang family.
As soon as the cloth arrived, Fox Xiaomei and Wei Sanniang, Fox Fence Xiang first sorted out the cloth, the fine cloth soft material and the rich silk segment were opened, Fox Xiaomei and Fox Fence Xiang put some in the house, Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou's house put some, and even the fox fence and the thirteen houses were put some, and then, the remaining some were stacked on the board of the hall.
According to the requirements of the sewing workshop, make a batch of jackets first. Look at the effect of the sale, and then decide how many down jackets to make.
In the afternoon of the same day, Hu Xiaomei's family closed the door, sorted out the cloth, and took out all the small cloth bags made before, and weighed the required amount of eiderdown one by one. After doing this, the sun has set. While Fox Dayou and Thirteen were still cooking, Fox Xiaomei and the three of them first cut out a part of the jacket and packed the duck down.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wei Sanniang first invited the Xiang family, the Wang family, and the Kong family, who had done it before, to come over.
The three of them helped to pack the eiderdown one by one in the middle of the cut jacket. Then the threads were sewn together. I made a batch of jackets with separate sleeves, and in the afternoon, I invited Mei's, Ruan's and others to come over to help, but these people had never done it. Fox Xiaomei told me how to sew one by one.
Xiang. Wang. Kong's family connected Wei Sanniang and Fox Lixiang tailoring, pretending to be duck down, and combining lines; And May's. Nguyen Thi and others sewed together the sleeves and clothes that had been filled with duck down to make ready-to-wear garments.
For the first time, a few people saw how Hu Xiaomei and others made this legendary jacket, and they were all surprised to see that it was duck down. Last year, Wei Sanniang went to various villages to collect duck feathers, and everyone still heard about it, but at that time, they all thought that this move was ridiculous, what to do with things they didn't want, and they also deliberately bought them with silver. At this time, everyone understands that people are of great use, and waste is made into a treasure!
Several people were even more shocked by the idea of Hu Xiaomei, the impression of the timid and cowardly little girl was a little blurred, and several people also put away their previous contempt for Hu Xiaomei's family, and did what Hu Xiaomei and Wei Sanniang ordered carefully, and did not dare to be sloppy.
The first time you do it, of course, you have to be slower with your hands and feet. In the first afternoon, a few people made a few clothes. Hu Xiaomei comforted a few people: "It's like this at the beginning, and it will be a lot more profitable if your hands are smooth in a few days." ”
And the sleeves and tops of Xiang's Wang and others have been sewn out one or two dozen sets.
Sure enough, on the second and third days, Mei and the others were up quickly, everyone was able to do needlework, and the men in the family and the children's clothes were not sewn by themselves, so the needlework was naturally not bad.
When the jacket is completed, the finishing work is still done by Hu Xiaomei, then make an anti-counterfeiting mark in the inside of the clothes, and sew a small pimple with three layers of inner and outer three layers.
There are many people who help with the work, and the matter of the jacket business of Hu Xiaomei's family slowly spread in the village, and everyone knows that the jacket made by Hu Xiaomei to help the sewing workshop is actually filled with duck feathers, and I heard that this clothes with duck feathers are very warm in the winter. It works better than a padded jacket.
Many people don't believe it, but seeing that the needlework has ordered so many jackets, it has to be convincing.
Those who were not asked to help were envious and jealous.
For example, the Tan family gossiped outside behind Wei Sanniang's house.
“…… It's just a small business, no matter what, it's helping people, and it's not your own business......"
Once happened to be heard by Chen, Chen couldn't help but say to her: "If you take care of your own mouth, why won't you be invited to work this time?" ”
Tan was said to be gloomy, and sarcastically mocked Chen: "It's not a big deal, I'm still rare?" Sister-in-law, Libai is a well-known talent in our country, and he is also a person with face, how can you be a mother and do things in that kind of person, is it possible that Libai will treat you and your eldest brother badly, and he will laugh at people when he says it. ”
"What kind of joke is it that I earn money with my hands?" Rao is Chen's temperament was also angry with Tan's words, and glared at her angrily: "The fox used to be a big family, you are a fox wife, why do you chew the root of your tongue all day long, but you become a long-tongued woman." It's you, who have nothing to do all day long, nothing to do, you are going to ask the people in the village, who likes you like this? Sanniang and Dayou don't offend you on weekdays, but you don't let go of their family at all, which is like relatives of the same clan, talking about the rights and wrongs of others all day long, and you don't feel panicked! ”
The Chen family has never scolded anyone like this, the Tan family is still the first person, if it weren't for Tan's nonsense that she lost her white face, she probably wouldn't be so angry. This kind of person is really thick-skinned and bad, and it doesn't work to beat and scold.
Chen no longer talked nonsense with Tan, and turned away angrily.
Tan Shi was also angry enough, or scolded by the concubine, she looked at those people who looked this way from time to time, as soon as she saw her look over, everyone turned their heads and pretended not to see, and Chen's words just now suddenly sounded in their heads, "You are going to ask the people in the village, who likes you like this", her chest seemed to be pressed against a big stone, so stuffy that she couldn't breathe, Tan took two deep breaths, and then felt that his chest was smoother.
The people around all walked to the side intentionally or unintentionally, and no one came to talk to her, and no one came to comfort her.
Tan's heart was sad, she was not treated at home, she was not in harmony with her concubine, and now even Chen, who was a sister-in-law, scolded her like this, she felt that she was not wrong, no matter how good Wei Sanniang's business is, it is also to help others, not her own business. Is it possible to tell the truth? These people see the wind and rudder, flatter, and when they see that people do some business, they get up to it, it's too shameless! She Tan wouldn't be this kind of person!
Tan smashed a bite to the ground and turned to leave.
Tan's and Chen's words also reached Wei Sanniang's ears, and she didn't care, just smiled. Now that their family is slowly living a good life, people outside like to say that they can't take care of it, just live their own life well.
The style of the jacket is single and easy to make, and later Wei Qifeng found Wei Sanniang, Wei Sanniang was not easy to shirk, so she also asked her to join in to help sew the jacket. With the addition of Wei Sanniang and Hu Lixiang, a total of eleven people, the first batch of jackets was finally made ten days later.
Seventy of them were all fine jackets and came in several sizes. The second batch of jackets were all first-class jackets, and the first batch was made, and Wei Sanniang and others continued to make the second batch of jackets.
Fox Dayou still went to sell bean curd alone, and the fox fence was in the school, so the thirteen accompanied Fox Xiaomei, borrowed the Chen family's cow's family, wrapped seventy pieces of jackets tightly, and sent them to the sewing workshop.
"Seventy pieces of high-grade jackets, please check it by Shopkeeper Wu." Hu Xiaomei handed over the list to the shopkeeper Wu.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at the full car of jackets with satisfaction, and immediately asked the guy to move into the backyard, and then instructed the guy to check one by one, and if there is any unqualified, it will be returned untouched, or reduce the salary, and the embroidery girl in the sewing workshop will help modify it. Fortunately, Hu Xiaomei is strict, Xiang Shi and others work carefully, and the seventy jackets are well done, and even the needlework is clean.
"Very well done." Shopkeeper Wu is still not praised, he was still a little worried about doing dozens of things at a time, but now that he sees that Hu Xiaomei is young and reliable, his opinion of Hu Xiaomei has improved again. I paid my wages happily.
The first batch of jackets is to practice hands, practice coordination, ten days down, more than a dozen people have already worked in the division of labor, with tacit understanding, so the next batch of jackets will definitely take less than ten days to complete.
Got the wages in hand, fox Xiaomei took the thirteen to Hengfeng Money Village, on weekdays are all small broken copper plates, suddenly there are two taels of silver in hand, she is holding a purse when walking, if it is exchanged for a silver ticket, it can be easily stored a lot. It's a pity that when the money dealer saw her take out two taels of silver to store, the guy was immediately dumbfounded.
Thirteen reluctantly pulled her out of the bank: "Your money is not even a scum in the eyes of others, and you want to exchange it for a silver ticket." ”
"Why not?" Fox Xiaomei said.
"One hundred taels can be exchanged for silver tickets, at least fifty taels, two taels of silver still want people to make stubs for you, and people don't bother to pay attention to you!"
Now the fox Xiaomei is dumbfounded, as long as you open an account in the bank in modern times, you can deposit ten yuan or one hundred, and the bank staff will also do it. She didn't expect that the ancient money bank still had these requirements. This can't be blamed on her, where has she been exposed to these on weekdays, so she naturally doesn't understand. But how did Thirteen know?
"How do you know?" Fox Xiaomei asked Thirteen.
Thirteen was stunned and hesitated: "I don't know, I know anyway." ”
Fox Xiaomei stared at him twice, and saw that he really didn't lie and didn't ask anymore, anyway, Thirteen had amnesia, and he didn't remember who he was, and he definitely couldn't tell him why he asked him, he could know that it was from some original memories in his head.
Fox Xiaomei is very strange, so why haven't those memories of his identity come back?
These thoughts were fleeting. The two bought a piece of meat at the market, bought some vegetables that they didn't have at home, went home to cook a good pot of meat to eat, and then the two happily returned to Hujia Village. (To be continued......)
