Chapter 7: Make a sleeve guard
In the evening, the second Su Qing came back from the tailor's house with a heavy heart carrying a large package. Today she heard about the eldest sister kicking the eldest brother-in-law out of the house at the master's house, and it was hard to hear outside. In fact, she didn't approve of it in her heart, but her parents asked her to listen to her eldest sister before she died.
Never mind!
As long as the eldest sister is happy, let her be!
Su Qing made up her mind in her heart and stopped thinking nonsense, and tried her best to squeeze out a smile on her thin face and walked into the house. However, everything in front of her made her wonder if she had gone to the wrong door.
Su Qing took a step back, making sure that it was the door of her house.
Su Wen was distributing peach cakes to Su Xiaomei and Su Xiu, and couldn't help but take a look at Su Qing when she saw her come in. In terms of physiognomy, Su Qing's appearance is six points similar to herself, but because of long-term malnutrition, she is not very well developed.
Her eyes stopped on her chest, and Su Wen was thinking in her heart that after making money, she would make up for the second girl.
"Second sister, come in, there is something delicious." Su Xiu greeted again and again, happier than the New Year.
"Oh!" Su Qing came in confused, and didn't react until she took a bite of the peach cake and tasted the sweet and crispy taste in her mouth, and it didn't react until she felt in her heart.
The eldest sister is willing to share the peach crisp with everyone to eat!
In fact, Su Qing always knew that the eldest sister had secretly hidden the peach cake, although she also wanted to eat it, but she still held back.
"Do you have a cloth head on you? Show it to me. ”
Su Wen spent the whole afternoon cleaning, familiarizing herself with the family situation, and cooking dinner. When she was a child, she would follow her grandmother to make shoes and sew and mend them.
"Huh? Oh! Su Qing put down the cloth baggage, ate a bite of peach crisp in a daze, and tasted the sweet and crispy taste in her mouth, only to be sure that everything was true.
I don't know why, my eyes are sour and astringent. The peach crisp in her mouth is the most delicious food she has ever eaten, and she will never forget it for the rest of her life.
Su Wen pretended not to see Su Qing's strange appearance, lowered her head to sort out her baggage, and was pleasantly surprised to find that many of the cloth heads were actually very large, not the small pieces she imagined.
There are cotton, really good, khaki, all kinds of colors, etc., and even a ball of elastic bands.
Great, it's not a problem to have these things and want to make sleeves.
Su Wen's art appreciation ability is good, and she is very good at matching seriously, so she separates the cloth head according to the appropriate size. Different cloth heads, showing geometric shapes, reasonable matching colors, quickly made a sleeve, which is actually very good-looking, and it is completely impossible to see that it is made of rag heads.
The three sisters looked straight at each other.
"Eldest sister, what are you doing?"
"Sleeve guards, now that the weather is hot, I have to go to the ground to plant seedlings again. I'm going to make some sleeve protectors to sell, both to protect from the sun and to prevent leech and mosquito bites. Su Wen put on the sleeves, from her wrists to her arms. I took it off and put it on my calf, and made a few strokes to see if the size was appropriate.
There seemed to be light in Su Qing's eyes, and she looked over and over with the finished sleeves, "Eldest sister, you pay attention to this, we have a lot of these rag heads." ”
The master gave a few large pieces, but she was too timid to ask for them. I knew that I could be made such a beautiful sleeve by my eldest sister, so she took them all.
"Can it be sold? If you get caught, it's a speculative reversal. ”
"Don't worry, you can sell it. Let's make a few dozen in the next few days, and I'll take it to the town to sell it when the time comes. ”
"How much can one sell for?"
Su Wen doesn't know the current prices very well, but she has a standard in her heart, "How many cents does an egg cost?" ”
"The smaller ones cost 8 cents, and the bigger ones can be sold for 9 cents each!"
