Chapter 57: Cloth and Cotton Wool

With five hundred silver tickets and fifty taels of silver, fifty taels of silver were the silver coins obtained by the Tian family sisters. Xia Zhi calmly walked out of the door of the embroidery village, and the eagerness of the proprietress when she came back next time could still ring in her ears. The proprietress regards the Tian family as the God of Wealth, the screen embroidered on the summer solstice is very good, as long as she frames it, it will be no problem to earn a few hundred taels, if there is that generous, maybe you will earn more.

The proprietress didn't know that the summer solstice had the intention of embroidering the screen from the first time she entered the door of the embroidery village, especially if it was not or could not be embroidered in this dynasty. After these several times in and out of the embroidery village, the summer solstice obviously found that the embroidery of the Dawu Dynasty was eventful and static, all of which were one-yard colors, not to mention the lack of hierarchy, and it was very monotonous.

And the summer solstice, this rich flower, with different eye colors as the base, layer by layer to change the line color, so that the color of the peony from the inside to the outside gradually aggravated, and the peony flowers that bloom in reality are almost the same, plus a few butterflies that are dancing, it is really pleasing to the eye.

At that time, when the first peony flower was embroidered, the female compatriots of the Tian family exclaimed that what kind of flower was this so beautiful, even Lao Luotou and his group of men felt very festive when they saw it. Of course, they haven't seen real peony flowers, they just think that this is the flower that Xia Solstice came up with, otherwise they would have to exclaim that the peony flower embroidered on Xia Solstice is almost the same as the real one.

It was already the beginning of the day after these delays, and they decided to hurry up and find a place to buy cotton and cloth on the summer solstice, so that they could go home. A few people hurried to Nanshi, and halfway through the summer solstice, they also went to buy some snacks of sugar or something, ready to take them back to taste for their sisters and sisters at home, and Tian Xiaoman, who was naturally traveling with him, was also indispensable. Tian Laosi saw that his daughter had earned so much money with a screen, so he would not blame her for her actions, but on the contrary, he asked Xia Zhi to buy more.

Xia Zhijue's grandfather and grandma are not expected to want the money for selling the screen this time, and the three uncles and aunts are estimated not to want it, after all, the situation at home is better now, and the life is also good, and there is no urgent need for money. Of course, this money will definitely not fall into the hands of Xia Zhi, it must be collected by Xia Zhi's mother, five hundred taels is not a small amount.

On the summer solstice, when they arrived in Nanshi, they naturally inquired first, where is the cloth village, generally the place where the cloth is sold naturally has a good cotton wool, just let the buy it home and put on the quilt to use, of course, there are also bulk cotton turnstiles for people to say back to make cotton jackets, cotton pants, cotton shoes. However, what Xia Zhi doesn't understand is that cotton is generally grown in the northern dry land in modern times, but how come this Dawu Dynasty is in the south, and no one in the north grows dry land.

"Dad, let's go to Jixiangbu Village and have a look!" Xia Zhi put his arm around Tian Laosi's neck, looked at the two cloth villages in front of him, and stretched out his hand to point at one of them. It is said that although this South City sells some clothes, shoes, cloth and other things, but this cloth village is really a little less, a few people almost turned around the South City to find two embroidery villages, and it is also door to door, the whole is like a ring, one is called Fugui Cloth Village, and the other is called Jixiang Cloth Village.

However, Xia Zhi didn't care what happened to them, she first looked at Fugui Embroidery Village, and found that most of the cloth they sold was some silk satin, which was obviously a high-end product; Xiangbi Fugui Cloth Zhuang auspicious cloth village is low-end, and there are more cotton, linen and ramie in the store. Therefore, Xia Zhi decisively gave up entering the Fugui Embroidery Village and directly proposed to enter the auspicious Embroidery Village.

"Okay, listen to the girl, that rich and rich village is not something that we people can enter!" Obviously, Tian Laosi also noticed that most of the things sold by Fuguiqian Village could not afford or were unwilling to buy.

"Sixth sister, we really have to go into the embroidery village to buy cloth and make clothes! I'm not dreaming! For Tian Xiaoman, who didn't wear new clothes, happiness came too fast, and he couldn't accept it for a while, thinking he was dreaming!

"You little girl! I thought I was dreaming, didn't I? Tian Laosan looked at his energetic girl with a smile, looking like he was out of the world. Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Tian Laosan's joke: "Seventh sister, you can't be dreaming, otherwise these clothes and shoes will grow wings and fly away by themselves!" ”

"Sixth sister, then I won't sleep every day, so that I won't dream, and my clothes and shoes won't run! This way, everyone in the family will have new shoes to wear! Tian Xiaoman obviously thought that Xia Zhi was telling the truth, and said very seriously and affirmatively.

Xia Zhijue's heart was sour, the previous Tian family was so poor that they didn't even have anything to eat, let alone new shoes, which was simply a luxury for the Tian family. And Tian Xiaoman is very naughty, the shoes are worn out, every time she goes to Liu's house, she has to say that she has a new pair of shoes in her little heart, and A-Niang will not say herself, of course, it would be better if everyone in the family had a pair of new shoes.

"Good boy, your sixth sister is playing with you! If we buy clothes and shoes, you won't run, you just sleep and dream! Tian Lao Sanjue himself neglected his daughter, and he had always known that the girl was naughty, but he didn't know that the girl was also thinking about the family, and he couldn't help feeling guilty, and at the same time thought of Tian Laosi's love for the summer solstice, and vowed to love his daughter for a while.

"Really! Wow! That's great, I'm worried I won't be able to sleep in the future! Tian Xiaoman shouted excitedly. The rest of the Tian family who watched shook their heads at the same time, thinking that this crazy girl was emotional, but they didn't expect to relapse again after a while.

"Okay, hurry up, if you don't enter the cloth village, it is estimated that the boss will take a broom to drive us!" Boss Tian watched several people blocking the door of the embroidery village, and the boss of the embroidery village frowned and shouted humanity.

A few people finally walked into the cloth village, and the owner of the embroidery village smoothed his frowning brows, put on a smiling face, and greeted: "Guest officer, what do you want to buy?" After speaking, he also gave a large number of glances to the Tian family.

"Boss, we want to buy some cloth and cotton wool, I don't know what kind of store you have?" Boss Tian asked politely.

"Our family is mostly some cotton and linen ramie, if you want to make winter clothes, it is better to buy some cotton cloth, as for cotton wool, our store is the same, you can take a look!"

"Boss, how much is a foot of this cotton cloth, and how much is a pound of cotton wool?" On the summer solstice, I saw a few people looking at the cloth and looking at the cotton wool, but no one asked the price, and I couldn't help but support the amount, this thing is good, but the price is also very important. Of course, what Xia Zhi wants to express is that it can't be too expensive, and he wants to buy a few more to be taken back. "Yes, boss, we are all Zhuang families, this is too expensive to afford!" Boss Tian followed. "Don't worry, most of the things I have here are sold to farmers, and the things are naturally not expensive! , this is all over the ten cents a foot, that is, the cotton wool is transported from the south, and because of the small output, it costs fifty cents a pound to be more expensive! "And the boss's fifty yuan a pound made Xia Zhi gasp, this is too expensive, and listening to the boss's statement, fifty yuan is still cheap, Xia Zhi shook his head, it seems that this cotton Dawu Dynasty has it, but the yield should be very low, so there is such a high price." The boss of the line brought me such cotton cloth and gave me a hundred feet, and he brought us fifty pounds of cotton wool, and he brought ten beds in such a quilt cover! Xia Zhi said very proudly. Okay, okay, okay, guest wait, it's going to be right away! The boss didn't think that this family would ask for so many things in one go, and quickly agreed, what Tian family regretted, and he didn't notice that it was Xia Zhi, a five-year-old baby, who spoke.
