Su Jinyao listened to Wu Guihua's introduction to her while looking at the fabric. Indeed, as Wu Guihua said, the best fabric is excellent in terms of feel and color. Looking at the medium cloth again, I feel that although this dyed cloth is beautiful, the color is a little impetuous, and it is not as pleasing to the eye as the homespun cloth.

Su Jinyao asked, "Sister Osmanthus, what is the price of this cloth?" ”

"Yo, there are several kinds of prices. The best material alone is divided into four price codes according to the color and color. In this case, you can take a look first, which piece of cloth you have chosen, and then I will tell you the price. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, didn't think about the mid-range dyed cloth, and instead focused on looking at the homespun cloth. The homespun cloth has no patterns, but the color is not single, the red alone is divided into red, red, pink, plum red and pink, and the blue is also blue, lake blue, water blue, azure blue and sky blue. In addition, there are several differences between the other colors. Although it is a little rough to the touch, it is really a thick cloth and the weave is very dense.

Su Jinyao pointed to the homespun and said, "How can this pink and this blue one be sold?" By the way, there's also this hemp gray one. ”

Wu Guihua said: "Oh, the price of pink and blue, a foot of cloth costs twenty-two Wen; The hemp gray ones are more old-fashioned, and the people who buy them are less than 20 cents and a foot. ”

Su Jinyao asked again: "My sister is a little taller than me, how much cloth does it take to make a dress?" My brother is shorter than me, as tall as my earlobe. You do the math. And my father, my father has bad legs, he usually sits on the kang, I don't know how tall he is, it should be the height of a normal man. But our family is very thin. ”

Wu Guihua turned around and took an abacus from the counter, "crackling" and pulling, and then calculated: "Your sister makes clothes, why do you need ten feet of cloth, it is the style you saw just now, a few less skirts and one foot of cloth will be saved, but I am afraid that it will not look good if it is less." Your brother, if you want to make a long gown, you need at least eight feet of cloth, or you have to buy nine feet, after all, the child grows up quickly, and if you make a bigger one, you can still wear it next year. If you make trousers and gowns, you can save it, and if you buy a seven-foot cloth that is sufficient, it will definitely not be small, and you can wear it for two years. If your father's size is eleven feet to make trousers and gowns, I say you don't think about making a long gown, and it's not convenient for him to sit on the kang all day. ”

Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "Sister Osmanthus is right, then give my father the pants and gown." My brother is going up the mountain and making trousers and gowns. ”

"yes, got it." After talking about the size, Wu Guihua calculated again: "The pink and blue fabrics are 22 wen 1 foot, and a total of 17 feet is 374 wen; The hemp-gray is twenty wen and one foot, and the eleven feet are two hundred and twenty wen. In total, it's five hundred and ninety-four texts. If you buy it now, you can give 590 wen. I'll tear the cloth for you now, and then send you three feet of white cloth to make a lining, and if you add lining to the collar and cuffs, it's enough. It's already the cheapest, so don't negotiate with me about the price. ”

Five hundred and ninety! Hearing that Wu Guihua had calculated the price, Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, touched the burden on her body, and hesitated.

Su Jinyao was not reluctant to spend this money to buy clothes for her family, but she promised Su Feier that she would give all the money she earned to her father. It's true that she made some money today, but she distributed more than half of it by herself all of a sudden, is it really good?

Seeing that Su Jinyao was silent, only touching the burden and hesitating, Wu Guihua more or less understood the thoughts of some poor families. smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled Su Jinyao's arm and said, "Little girl, don't be so sullen, Sister Osmanthus knows, you don't have enough money in your pocket, right?" I heard you buy fabric for your sister, brother, and father, but not your own. You are such a good child, your family is blessed. It's okay if you don't buy it today, anyway, it's not for the New Year, and you don't have to wear new clothes. When you have the money, come back and buy it. Sister Osmanthus won't laugh at you. ”

Hearing Wu Guihua say this, Su Jinyao's heart choked, and she felt a little sour. Yes, she still makes too little money, if she has more money, she can buy whatever she wants, why bother calculating like this.

"That Sister Osmanthus, I'm really embarrassed. I...... I'll buy it next time. Su Jinyao smiled astringently, turned around and prepared to go out.

Before she crossed the threshold, Wu Guihua suddenly remembered something, and stopped Su Jinyao and said, "Little girl, I remember, I still have some leftover cloth here." The chunks are also big enough to cut individual gowns and trousers. Why don't I find out how many pieces you can pick? I'll give you a cheaper price, and estimate the price of a set of clothes, which is half of the original price. ”

"Okay, then thank you Sister Osmanthus." Su Jinyao was overjoyed, turned around and came back.

It is the consistent practice of poor families to buy cloth to make clothes, and it is rare to be able to buy uniformly colored gowns and pants, so most of them are color-matched. But fortunately, the price is cheap, and you can really make a dress for about half the price.

Besides, she Su Jinyao has even done things such as picking up things and selling second-hand goods, and she still cares about buying cloth materials.

Su Jinyao walked back, and Wu Guihua also went behind the counter, muttering: "These pieces of cloth are quite good, it's not enough to be an adult's clothes, but it's no problem to be a child." Your brother's figure is easy to choose, and your sister's is good, so it's good to choose two pieces of material to fight. It's your father's material that needs to be calculated. ”

As he spoke, Wu Guihua had already taken out a big bamboo dustpan from under the counter, put it on the counter and said: "Look at it, the color and style are okay, some of the guests bought the material, and the color of the cloth was slightly worse when it was exposed, so it was cut off." In fact, washing is just as good. ”

"Well, that's good." Su Jinyao took a look at it and took a fancy to a few pieces of fabric inside. Pick it out and shake it off, and when you look at it, the size is not small.

Su Jinyao asked, "Sister Osmanthus, can you help me measure it?" After calculating and calculating, which of these two pieces of fabric is enough to make clothes? ”

"Well, I'll take a look." Wu Guihua took out another ruler and measured the pieces of fabric one by one. put aside those who were enough to make clothes, and put those that were not enough on the other side, and then said to Su Jinyao; "This blue one is the biggest, and it can make a pair of trousers for your dad or a gown for your brother. This purple material is very good, but unfortunately it is two feet less, and it is not enough to make skirts and gowns. This dark green size is also very sufficient, you can make a coat for your father, but you have to find a skilled master to cut, otherwise the scissors will be cut off, and the material will not be enough. ”

Su Jinyao secretly calculated in her heart, and found a few pieces that could match the color of these pieces of material, which could be made into long pants or gowns, and then asked Wu Guihua: "Sister Osmanthus, I want these materials, you calculate for me, how much money you get." ”

"Well, I'll do the math. The prices are all different. Wu Guihua calculated while fiddling with the fabric; These two pieces of material are a little smaller, but the color and style are the best. But I've already sold it for the capital, and now I don't want to make much money, and I don't measure the size when I count it together, so you can give one hundred and twenty Wen. These three large pieces are all homespun materials, and you can give me 100 yuan. This is the largest, and the fabric is not bad, but the color has faded a little, and it is the front piece of the cloth. The little girl won't tell you that the faded cloth is the most difficult to sell, and it is more difficult than a hole in an inconspicuous place, so you can give me forty-five words. ”

After Wu Guihua finished speaking, she took out a piece of cloth from the dustpan and said to Su Jinyao: "This cloth is a little smaller, but it is enough to add a collar, sleeve, and skirt to women's clothing, so I will give it to you." ”

These pieces of fabric were originally calculated by Su Jinyao, and they could be used to make mixed-color clothes for Su Fei'er, Xiaocheng'er and Su Xiangui. In fact, it is not surprising that clothes and pants are not the same color, even in modern times, who can wear a suit all day long. As long as the color matching is reasonable, it is good-looking.

Su Jinyao smiled: "Okay, thank you Sister Osmanthus." In the future, I will buy fabrics to make clothes, and I will definitely come to your shop. ”

Wu Guihua wrapped the fabric for Su Jinyao and said, "That's okay, you have to come often." Little girl, you look at the elf, and your heart is good, next time you come, pick a dress for yourself. If you're young, don't always lose yourself. ”

Su Jinyao counted out two hundred and sixty-five dollars from her baggage and handed it to Wu Guihua, took the wrapped fabric from her, and asked casually: "Sister Osmanthus, can you make clothes according to the drawn patterns here?" ”

"Yes. However, according to the pattern brought by the guest, the price will be a little more expensive. Because it is not the style that you are used to tailoring, it is inevitable that you will be timid, and you have to think hard about it. Otherwise, if you cut the wrong material for the guest, you will have to pay for it. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, and then said, "What if the style remains the same and the color matching changes?" ”

"That's not the price of ordinary handicrafts. It depends on what kind of fancy the guest wants. This handiwork is all priced according to the style. Speaking of this, Wu Guihua asked Su Jinyao: "Little girl, do you want to make a new style of clothes?" ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "Oh, no. I didn't buy the variegated material. I also have to calculate and make a dress for my sister, and I have to do it with color. I'm afraid I don't understand, and I can't explain it to others. ”

"Well, it's okay, if you don't understand, just ask me, I'll tell you clearly." Wu Guihua is really good, and people who do this business will definitely not lose money.

Su Jinyao thanked her again, and went out with these few pieces of material. When I went out and looked at the opposite side, I saw that Uncle Wang had already collected the dry tobacco pouch and was standing on the side of the carriage looking this way.

Su Jinyao secretly calculated to herself, since she entered this ready-to-wear shop, she asked the price and picked the cloth head, which was really a lot of time. I'm afraid that the agreed time has passed, and Uncle Wang, who is in a hurry, is in a hurry.

Su Jinyao hurriedly ran back, and when she got to the side of the carriage, she found that she didn't see Da Chen come back. It's just Uncle Wang standing there and watching.

When Uncle Wang saw that Su Jinyao was back, he didn't urge or dislike it, but just nodded and said, "Are you back?" Bought it? ”

"Well, I just bought a few pieces of fabric to make variegated clothes for my sister and brother. The family is poor and can't afford to buy a set. Su Jinyao said, followed the direction of Uncle Wang's eyes, and asked, "The time has come, right?" Then why hasn't Da Chen come back yet? ”

"Yes, but it's not too late, and I don't know how his chickens are selling. I'll just leave, after all, it's a folk, and it's this time again, and it's not good to hire a car to go back if he leaves him. But if you don't go, when will you have to wait? ”

After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he really looked anxious, and he looked very undecided.

Su Jinyao looked at the sky and said, "When the time comes, let's go back." At that time, I said that I would wait for half an hour, but now it must have been more than half an hour, and seeing that it is getting late, we can be regarded as keeping our promises. ”

"That's right, let's go. Maybe Da Chen's cage chicken found a big buyer and sold all the chickens, so he could easily walk back by himself. If you don't take the car, won't you save money? Uncle Wang shook his head as he spoke.

Su Jinyao said: "If that's the case, he's really unkind." We waited for him here, but he left without a word? I've got to come back and tell you. ”

"Alas, it's okay, we're in a car, and we often encounter such things. In the future, when the time comes, I will leave, and no one will wait. After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he jumped into the carriage and picked up the whip and shook it.

With a "snap", the carriage moved.

But it was just about to run again, and Da Chen's voice came from behind: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, wait for me." I...... I followed the car back. ”

Su Jinyao and Uncle Wang turned around together when they heard the sound, and saw that on the street in the direction of the market, Da Chen was dragging a chicken coop and moving back. And he didn't just drag the chicken coop, there was a basket hanging on his arm, which was the basket that Su Jinyao contained the mushrooms.

Uncle Wang was stunned, turned around in a hurry, walked a few steps towards Da Chen, stopped next to Da Chen and asked, "Why did you bring it back again, it's not easy to sell?" ”

Only then did Da Chen put down the chicken coop, took a breath and said, "Only four of them were sold, and it was really not easy to sell." After speaking, Da Chen even glared at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao was stared at inexplicably, and then after thinking about it, she understood, it is estimated that Da Chen did not have the ability to sell the chickens, and thought that he was going to sell the chickens first, so that everyone who wanted to buy chickens had already bought them, and it was naturally difficult to sell them when he went.

Maybe there are reasons for this, but Su Jinyao still thinks that if it were her, this cage of chickens would not be a problem.

Hearing that Da Chen said that it was not easy to sell, Uncle Wang's face was not good-looking. Pointing to the chicken coop on the ground with a whip, he said, "Da Chen, I said that I would wait for you for half an hour, so that you could sell the chickens and come back to take the car." But now that this cage of chickens hasn't been sold much, how can you let me pull you. ”

"Uncle Wang, look at it, even if it's okay. I'm so tired that I can't sell this chicken, and I'm still on fire. What can I do if you don't pull me back? Da Chen said, handed the basket on his arm to Su Jinyao, and said, "I sold two catties of mushrooms, and I still sold them cheaply." Five cents a pound, and I also lost two cents. The mushrooms are for you, give me a refund. ”

"What?" Su Jinyao was almost made happy by Da Chen. He asked Da Chen with a sneer: "Brother Da Chen, I heard it right, do you have to return the things you bought?" Food sold is non-refundable and non-exchangeable. ”

"Why don't you go back?" Da Chen was also anxious, stared at Su Jinyao with wide eyes, and said fiercely: "I didn't sell this cage of chickens, it's not because you didn't let me go to the market, I have to wait here for you to sell it when I finish selling, I have bought everything I should buy, who else can I sell it to." I'm kind enough to help you sell mushrooms, and now I don't care if I sell two catties and lose two cents, you can refund the remaining three catties of mushroom money to me, a total of eighteen cents. Hurry up and get your money back. ”

"What if I don't go back?" Su Jinyao sneered, took the basket, and then said, "The basket is mine, and I haven't counted the money with you yet." Now that you're back, the basket is back to me, and the mushrooms are still yours. ”

"What? You little girl, why are you so unreasonable. Da Chen simply roared and glared at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao was naturally not afraid of him, stood up from the car, and looked at Da Chen coldly with her hands on her shoulders. If Da Chen dares to move his fingers, she will make him really good-looking.

It should also be said that this Da Chen has a good life, and before he could do anything, Uncle Wang, who was driving the car, separated the two with a whip.

Uncle Wang said: "Da Chen, your chickens have not been sold, what kind of temper do you have with other little girls." It's not like I won't let you get in the car, but you chicken, it stinks. ”

"What can I do? I'm just going to get in the car. Da Chen actually put on a posture of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

Now even Uncle Wang has no choice. After all, they are still a village, and they are not pulled, and they are not pulled.

Su Jinyao was already planning to make a move, this Da Chen was not only unkind, but also dared to stare at herself, so she really didn't mean to spare her.

But looking at the cage of chickens, Su Jinyao's eyes rolled, and her anger turned into a smile again, and she asked, "Brother Chen, I didn't offend you, what are you arguing with me?" What's more, not only did I not offend you, but I was able to help you sell all the remaining chickens. ”

"What? Can you still sell all these chickens? Da Chen was still holding his neck just now, glaring at Su Jinyao fiercely. Now when I heard Su Jinyao say that I could help him sell chickens, I suddenly softened again. changed his face and said: "Good girl, I was wrong just now, I don't have the ability to sell chickens, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will come home and clean me up." If you still have a way, just teach me, it's considered that Brother Chen is sorry for you, can't I be wrong? ”

When Su Jinyao saw Da Chen's face, she was really disgusting, and she couldn't wait to kick him out. But she never had trouble with money. I could only be patient, and instead of looking at Da Chen's face, I looked at the cage of chickens on the ground and said, "It's getting late now, and it's definitely not okay to go to the market to sell it." Sell me your cage of chickens. ”
