Chapter 4 Embroidery

After Zhao Daya heard the price, she frowned, although she knew that that kind of cloth might not be cheap, but one foot would cost eighty wen, which was too expensive. A vegetarian bun is only a penny, eighty wen, which is equal to eighty vegetarian buns!

"Collect is collect, but ......"

The words behind the shopkeeper of the cloth shop didn't come out, but Zhao Daya could guess it, I was afraid that people thought they couldn't embroider anything beautiful.

"Shopkeeper, you see, I have bought two sets of clothes, and I have to buy three feet of silk cloth, can you give me some thread and needles for free? I will embroider some new styles, when you think it is good, you will accept it, the price is negotiable, if it is not good, you will not lose, right? ”

Zhao Daya turned on the bargaining mode of the aunt, with a big face, her eyes were extraordinarily big, and her excessively thin appearance was a little scary, but most of the children in the countryside were like this, especially in disaster years, and there were not a few children who starved to death.

"Okay, the little woman should be friends with you, what thread do you want to pick by yourself, I'll give you three needles, is it enough?"

Zhao Daya nodded with satisfaction, and then picked more than a dozen colors in the embroidery thread, and the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was heartbroken, thinking that it was a little girl, so he picked a few colors, who knew that people looked small, but the posture of picking the thread was very skillful.

The shopkeeper of this cloth shop is a woman, she looks not old, there are no wrinkles on her face, she looks only twenty-five or sixteen, she is dressed in old clothes, her hands are old like an old woman, and her eyes are always unconsciously fascinated, which shows that she is a person who does embroidery all year round, and she is also a person who is used to embroidering at night.

"Auntie, I'll pick these first, and when I fix it, I'll let you make a lot of money."

Zhao Daya finally found a way to make money. In this world where men are inferior to women, it is difficult for her to be self-reliant! You can't give up, can you?

Dreams still have to be had, what if God falls asleep one day?

In the end, two sets of clothes, three feet of silk cloth and a pair of cloth shoes cost five hundred and ninety yuan, and in the morning Li Orion earned two hundred and thirty yuan spent one-third.

The clothes are 100 wen, the three-foot silk cloth is 240 wen, the cloth shoes are the cheapest, 50 wen, and I also got three needles and a large handful of embroidery thread for free. Counting it up, Zhao Daya also took advantage.

Out of the cloth shop, the sun was close to noon, and it was the hottest time of the day.

"Is there anything else you'd like to buy?"

Li Orion walked ahead with his things, and Zhao Daya followed closely.

"Xianggong, why don't we find a place to rest, now the sun is shining, and it is easy to get heat stroke."

Zhao Daya just wanted to hide in Li Li's shadow, but the sun had risen overhead, and she could hardly find any shade.

"Hungry? Let's go eat first. ”

Li Orion thought that his little lady was hungry, and walked into a tea shed similar to a modern snack, that is, there were wooden stakes everywhere, a layer of straw was laid on the top, and there was no wall around the big shed, and the boss built a clay kang in the east corner, and made some food on it, and a wine cabinet was placed on the west side, which was not a fine wine, but home-brewed rice wine.

"What are you going to do? Da Hong Pao, Bi Luochun, Mao Jian, and black tea are all available in our house. ”

After the shopkeeper saw Li Orion and Zhao Daya, he immediately ran over, wiping the table and pouring two cups of herbal tea, sweating heavily.

"Is there anything to eat?"

Li Orion went straight to the point.

"This time we have tortillas and pig's trotter soup, and cucumbers and beef jerky."

The shopkeeper skillfully reported today's menu.

"Ten cakes, two bowls of soup, and then a plate of cucumbers and six taels of beef."

"Xianggong, forget about beef, I don't like beef."

Zhao Daya heard that Li Orion had ordered beef, and hurriedly opened her mouth to stop it. Although I don't know the price, but in this era of material scarcity, meat, must be very expensive, no matter what kind of meat it is.

"That'...... Don't want beef. ”

Actually, Li Orion likes to eat beef, but his little lady doesn't like to eat it, so don't eat it, it's a big deal to eat it secretly in the future.

"Okay, ten cakes, two bowls of pig's trotter soup, and a plate of cucumbers! The two guest officers waited a little and came immediately. ”

The shopkeeper shouted out the menu ordered by Li Orion to the east corner, said wait a minute, and went to greet the new customers again.

At this time, there were already three tables sitting in the tea shed, one table was three big men, who had already eaten, and one table was Li Orion and Zhao Daya, and the two teenage students who had just come were dressed up, although they were robes, they were washed white, and one of them had a few patches on his robe.

"Zixue, don't fight with them, Gu Changhao's father is the hospitable boss in the town, and the leader is still a relative of his family, we are just ordinary people, and we can't fight them."

The two of them sat next to Zhao Daya, and they didn't deliberately speak quietly, and they all entered Zhao Daya's ears word for word.

"Why do I have to be soft, the Son of Heaven has said that people who read, regardless of whether they are high or low, only look at their ability, why is it obvious that he Gu Changhao has done something wrong, and he wants me to take the pot, I didn't do it, I won't recognize it if I die."

Zhao Daya tilted her head a little, and found that it was the young man with patches on his body who spoke, his face was full of stubbornness and unyielding, his eyes were slightly red, but there were no tears in his eyes.

"Guest officer, your food is here, eat it slowly, what else do you need to call me."

In fact, this shopkeeper is not very old, and he seems to be the same age as the two students, but he has already developed a businessman character who laughs first when he meets people, and life is not like this, even if life abuses me thousands of times, I can only smile and let it bully.

"Eat, I'll take you to the market to see if you like anything."

Li Orion handed the chopsticks to Zhao Daya, and ate the soup himself. At this time, Zhao Daya took a closer look at her father-in-law.

A beard covers most of his face, but his eyes are shaped and deep, his eyebrows are also very thick, and although his black hair is tied, he still scatters a lot of it around, as if this person's hair is too vigorous, but I don't know if he also has chest hair? She doesn't like people with chest hair.

In this way, it is no wonder that the people in the village will be called savages, with so much hair, the timid people are easily frightened.

"Xianggong, which two are your names, I don't even know what your name is, and when I hear others call you, it's just Li Orion's shout."

"As usual."

Li Orion didn't raise his head and said two words.

"Huh? Usual? Is it business as usual? It's so good, it's much better than the big girl my dad casually shouted. ”

Zhao Daya is actually very disgusted with the original owner's name, but she is just a country girl who doesn't know how to read now, and it is impossible to change her name. However, if she has money in the future, she may be able to change her previous name to Zhao Qingxiao.

"Don't like your name? Is it okay to call you your aunt in the future? ”

Li heard Zhao Daya's words, stopped his movements, looked at Zhao Daya, and suddenly the word "aunt" appeared in his mind.
