143 Siege

"Sister Qiao, this dress is not the same as the clothes. People are tall, short, fat and thin, how can they generalize.

Your Li family is generally tall.

If I do it for the Lang Jun, I can only cut out nine sets of summer shirts.

The remaining rags, eighty percent can still be put together into two small clothes, but it is only enough for the milk doll to wear.

If it's for the girls, you can cut out up to eleven sets. The rest of the rags are only enough to make a few purses.

If you make it for children, you can almost guarantee that each person will have one, and you can also spell out a few handkerchiefs. ”

"Cheng, this piece of cloth will be made for my daughter-in-law and granddaughters first. You look at the cut.

This work is not urgent, just a little, and it is important to save as much fabric as possible.

By the way, how is this manual fee charged? ”

"Sister Qiao, our folks, I won't talk to you about it. The real price is ten dollars for cutting a set of clothes, and if it is made in a package, it costs thirty dollars for a set of clothes. ”

"Hmm...... So is this patchwork in the cutting? ”

……

Two equally shrewd old ladies, laughing and laughing, went back and forth, bargained, and soon settled the deal.

Zhou Niangzi was only responsible for cutting, including patchwork, and collected a total of 120 copper coins.

Make sure to cut out at least twelve sets of summer shirts.

Zhou Niangzi is very excited, she rarely receives such a large amount of work, and the construction period is not urgent.

Qiao Ximei was also in a happy mood. As long as the cut is good, it is not difficult for the family to sew it by themselves.

Both Fung and Chan have done a good job of fresh work. He is especially good at embroidery.

Wang's stitches are a little bigger, but as long as she is not allowed to be the clothes of the guests, it doesn't matter much.

Nie's ...... Thinking of the Nie family, the old lady Qiao Ximei couldn't help but feel a toothache.

However, I can't stand the second child liking it!

And the most important thing is that Nie's belly is competitive.

Old family, after being so old, I only have one son. The fifth family only has one son.

The third family is even more sad, and there is simply no one with a handle!

The fourth family, although the Feng family is a crying spirit, he also gave birth to two sons, Brother Xian and Brother Jie.

It is equivalent to giving birth to a son, and the other three daughters-in-law are tied together, so that they will have a tie with the Nie family.

Qiao Ximei counted out twenty copper plates, handed them to Zhou Niangzi as a deposit, and handed over the damaged fine arrowroot cloth to Zhou Niangzi.

Zhou Niangzi roughly measured the size of the children, and the adults only looked at it and wrote down a few numbers.

When the children saw that Mrs. Zhou had measured her size, they were all more excited.

This shows that making clothes is not just about talking!

Li Yunxin was a little surprised to find that the simple happiness of a child could infect the people around him so profoundly. For example, she herself was affected, and she inexplicably felt that she was in a beautiful mood.

When Mrs. Zhou left with the fabric, it was time for dinner.

Li Jingfu took a group of children and grandchildren and returned to the courtyard of the old Li family in the sunset.

Even Li Yunzhu, who ran out without permission before, came back.

It's just that after Li Yunzhu came back, he rushed into his room again, and he couldn't come out. Not even a dinner meal worked.

Li Yuncui called her twice, and saw that she had been cold and indifferent and refused to take care of herself, and she was also a little angry.

It is estimated that Li Yunzhu has opened a small stove outside!

The old Li family is used to things like Li Yunzhu having a little temper from time to time and not going out to eat, so they haven't found out what is different about Li Yunzhu today.

Chen's craftsmanship has always been good, and his mind is also ingenious.

For this dinner today, Chen steamed a drawer of miscellaneous noodles and noodles, and simmered a pot of sorghum rice.

cut a plate of red sausages brought back from her mother's house and set them up for cold dishes. The main dish was a large pot of stewed tofu with salted radish tassels. I mixed a small pot of sauerkraut shredded pork belly soup. In addition, there is also a blanched wild vegetable dumpling dipping sauce.

The whole family ate and licked their mouths and wiped their tongues.

Some people can't help but mutter, it would be nice if it was Chen's cooking every day!

Well, this kind of thing, naturally, I can only think about it.

The Chen family almost grew up in his mother's house on weekdays, and he didn't live much in Lao Li's house, so how could he talk about cooking every day?

Qiao Ximei looked at the satisfied smiling faces of everyone, and she was also full of joy.

Once upon a time, this night, Qiao Ximei almost only dared to give the children some wild vegetable porridge, just fill them with water, anyway, they couldn't do any work when it was dark.

Now, our old Li family can even eat dry rice for dinner!

……

Deyue Building.

Chu Xuan's injuries have basically healed completely.

There is still some residual poison in the body, but as long as you insist on taking another two or three months of decoction, you can pull it out.

Now, he has regained the habit of getting up in the morning to practice martial arts, reading in the morning, and running horses in the afternoon.

Chu Mingze naturally accompanies him every day.

The two uncles and nephews sometimes sit on the roof of Deyue Tower, look at the starry sky, and drink some wine.

If you think about it carefully, since the beginning of the army, you have been busy with big and small things.

However, the period of recuperation was the most leisurely and comfortable life for Chu Xuan in so many years.

Chu Xuan suddenly smiled and asked Chu Mingze:

"Mingze, you said that if I retire like this, okay?"

Chu Mingze shook his head:

"Uncle Xuan, this is impossible. You retreat, what should the Chu family do? The world is so big, can there be a place for the Chu family? ”

Chu Xuan sighed silently.

Alas, he naturally knows this truth.

Since the day he started his army, he was no longer the Chu Xuan of the past, but the King of Chu of Bohai County.

He's not just himself anymore.

However, when you look at the vast sea of stars and feel the breeze quietly blowing on your face, how can you not have a trace of retreat at a certain moment?

Chu Mingze also sighed abruptly.

If he could, he really didn't want to be this spoiler. Blame yourself for being too stupid, your mouth is faster than your brain!

Uncle Xuan is actually tired. Uncle Xuan wouldn't really consider retiring.

The sound of flapping wings was heard in the silence of the night.

A crow, deftly shaped through the carved window lattice, landed in the palm of a young man in brocade.

On the crow's legs, a small bamboo tube was attached, and in it was a thin, crumpled white silk, on which were densely written a few small characters with the heads of flies.

The young man unfolded it, then put the white silk on the wick and ignited it, and threw it into the brazier to burn it.

Then he grabbed a handful of peanuts, put them in the palm of his hand, and fed them to the crow:

"Pearl, pearl, thank you for your hard work!"

The crow rolled his eyes very humanly and glanced at the brocade-clad boy. After eating the peanuts, he spread his wings and flew away.

In a row of birdcages on the ground, the one that belonged to it was empty at this time, with the cage door open, as if waiting for it to fly back to sleep when it was tired of flying.

……

Jingchang County.

Many soldiers wearing armor and helmets, with sonorous steps, surrounded the houses of wealthy merchants who lived temporarily in Zhinan.
