In the hall of the Lodmin house.

Cao Yan looked at Luo Ming with a little disgust: "You mean, you don't have ready-to-wear clothes at home?" Only cloth, to make clothes, you have to measure the size to make it? "When I adopted a child, the first thing I needed to solve was the problem of food, clothing, and housing.

Food and housing, there is not much problem, just buy food, and most of these children will cook by themselves, and live, Cao Yan now has land, the house is built, and it is only July, the weather is hot, and the requirements for living are not high, but Cao Yan is a little difficult in this era, in this era, there is no clothing store that can provide one or two thousand sets of clothes, and now people generally like it, go to the cloth store, buy the cloth, or take it back to make it yourself, or let the cloth store measure the size and help do it. So there are no ready-to-wear, or very few ready-to-wear.

Luo Ming was looked at by Cao Yan like this, and he also had a bitter face: "Master, aren't all the shops on the market like this?" If it's not done properly, who will you sell it to? ”

"Tsk!" Cao Yan shook his head, he didn't know what expression to use to despise Luo Ming: "You still claim to be the best person in Jiangning Mansion to do business, haven't you noticed that in fact, this dress is a little wider, and a little narrower, everyone can wear it?" You won't make it according to a uniform size, and when others go to your cloth store in the future, they will buy clothes and leave, which is simple and you can make more money! ”

"But what if you can't sell it?" Luo Ming still didn't figure it out.

"You pig, you don't know how to remember the size first, make a hundred sets of each one first, sell it for a month, see that size is easy to sell, do more if it's easy to sell, don't do it if it's hard to sell, don't tell me, your Luo family, you can't afford to lose money for one or two thousand sets of clothes?"

This is really a loss, even if it is tens of thousands of sets, you can lose it, thinking about it this way, Luo Ming thinks this idea is not bad! Others just need to look at the style and try on the clothes again, so that everyone can save trouble.

Luo Ming's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of it before?" ”

"Cut, don't talk about those, let's talk about my clothes first?" Cao Yan asked.

"Okay, call those kids to measure." Luo Ming said.

"It was so troublesome, the children asked me to ask someone to take it back to Zhuangzi." Cao Yan said.

"What then?"

"You just said, you forgot again, do you have children at home?" Cao Yan asked.

"Oh, yes." Luo Ming immediately understood what Cao Yan meant. "Little three, let everyone call their own children."

……

Cao Yan pointed to one of the children and said, "Eight hundred sets of this size first," and then pointed to a higher one, "One thousand sets like this......"

"By the way, how long will it take?" Cao Yan asked.

"I'll ask everyone in the guild to help with it, it should take three days." Luo Ming did the math and said.

"So slow?" Cao Yan asked.

"The master is already very fast." Luo Ming was a little speechless, if it wasn't for Cao Yan's want, he would have to make more than 2,000 sets of clothes this time, and others, it is estimated that it will not take ten days and half a month, don't think about it.

Cao Yan opened his mouth and closed it again, swallowing back the words that he wanted to improve the clothing making, there are still many people who need this work to support their families, and Cao Yan doesn't want to do this until he comes up with a new alternative job, "Then please leave it to you." ”

"Don't worry, master, I know!"

……

When Cao Yan returned to Zhuangzi, the children had just arrived.

They were all on the big cement lawn in the center of the Zhuangzi, huddled together, looking around with some uneasiness and curiosity.

"Auntie," Lin Dazhuang saw Cao Yan hurriedly walking over.

Approaching Cao Yan's side, he looked around, like a thief.

"The whole village is our own people, and we have something to say." Cao Yan said angrily when he saw his movements.

"Oh!" Lin Dazhuang was embarrassed and smiled: "It's a little unused to it, all the belongings of Jiulongzhai have been transported back, and they are placed in the warehouse over there, uncle, do you need to go and see?" ”

"Cut, I thought I couldn't see anything unpleasant!" Cao Yan shook his head, not planning to look at it.

Cao Yan didn't go, and the people present didn't force it, Lin Dazhuang handed over a bunch of keys to him: "Auntie, this is, the key to the treasury." ”

Cao Yan took the key, handed it to Lin Ruyi behind him, and ordered, "Wait until you go back and hand it over to Yiru." ”

"Oh!"

"By the way, auntie, these children?" Someone around asked.

"Is it a child daughter-in-law and a door-to-door son-in-law arranged for us?" This man's idea is very good.

"Hehe, isn't it? Auntie! But when the people around heard this, their eyes lit up, after all, Cao Yan is very good to everyone, and he is making money and land, so it is not impossible to send a wife and a son-in-law now.

Looking at these enthusiastic eyes around him, Cao Yan also felt a headache, of course, this thing is definitely impossible.

After thinking for a long time, Cao Yan spoke, "I need strength, of course, if your kid or girl is powerful and can catch up with others, then I won't stop it, but it will definitely not work in the past few years." Moreover, I am going to take these children as righteous sons and righteous daughters. "This can be regarded as a guarantee for these children to have an additional identity in this world, with this identity, they cannot be counted as outsiders and ostracized by these villagers of Linjiazhai.

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Yan said this, the eyes of the surrounding villagers began to become kind when they looked at these children.

Someone in the crowd asked, "How do you arrange that?" ”

Cao Yan looked at it, huddled together, a little uneasy children, looking at their black loach appearance, their hair was messy, and their clothes were shiny, I don't know how many were hidden, fleas, lice, so he said: "First separate them according to men and women, take them to the bath, wash them clean, don't be reluctant to use soap, and the clothes are all burned, there are no clothes now, and the clothes will be made in a few days, but I dragged a few truckloads of cloth from Luo Fatzi, I will teach you how to help them make simple clothes, Ruyi come." ”

Cao Yan took out a piece of cloth from the carriage behind, measured Lin Ruyi's height, compared it to about twice the length, then folded it in half, cut a round hole the size of a head in the middle of the cloth, and let Lin Ruyi put it in, and then used a cloth belt to tie it around the armpits, and then tied it around the waist, in the position under the buttocks.

After tying it up, Cao Yan asked Lin Ruyi to turn around a few times and asked, "Do you understand how to wear it?" ”

"Such a good cloth, just cut like this, isn't it a bit of a waste aunt?" Someone asked, after all, everyone is poor.

"Yes, it's all little guys, just let them bare their butts and wrap them around with straw."

Cao Yan looked at the cement lawn, those children from seven to thirteen or four, and most of them were girls, although they were now in rags, but at least they could barely cover their bodies, and now they follow themselves, although they don't say that they are happy, but they can't be worse than before, and the people of this era are much more mature and sensible than the people of later generations, and it is really a bit embarrassing to be surrounded by straw.

So Cao Yan shook his head, "It's okay, it's just a little cloth, Luo Fatzi gave the cost price, which is not worth much." ”

Seeing Cao Yan's insistence, everyone didn't stop it, but they just heard someone in the crowd say, "Even if their family's ancestral grave is smoking, they have met such a good person as the eldest aunt." ”。

"Hehe," Cao Yan smiled, "then it's going to be a big problem." ”

"Auntie, what are you polite to us, this is what we should do!"
