Chapter Ninety-Six: It's So Hard to Count Money!

Since the construction of the official road began, Lord Song squatted on the construction site with the people every day, and Tianling went with him a few times at first, but later found that he couldn't help but get in the way, so he simply didn't go, and began to be lazy with peace of mind.

Lord Song was busy himself, and he couldn't see that Tianling was idle, so he handed over the most undesirable things such as settling accounts and sending money to Tianling.

So every day, when the people were about to get off work, Tianling would take people to carry two baskets of copper coins, set up a table in front of the gate, and wait for the people to come and receive the money.

As the weather gets colder, the heavenly spirits become more and more resistant to the errand of paying the people's wages, and they don't freeze their hands for anything else!

After counting two baskets of copper coins every day, Tianling's fingers were like red-hot tongs.

"It's not okay to go on like this!" Tian Ling looked at his red and swollen fingers, and had to think of a way.

Get a pair of glove straps!

But Tianling went to the street for a few walks and found that no one sold gloves at all, so he went to the store and asked, there are only things like hand stoves and hand covers, what are gloves? Haven't heard of it.

No? It's okay, it's good to make a pair out.

Tian Ling thought for a moment and walked into a tailor's shop with his legs raised.

"Child, where are your adults?" The owner of the shop looked behind Tianling, but he didn't see an adult following, and asked with some confusion.

"My family is cultivating the official road." Tianling smiled, "I'll come to the store to make something." โ€

"In this way, I heard that this time the official cultivator not only gave wages, but also gave a lot!" The owner of the tailor shop looked at Tian Ling and said with a smile, "What are you looking for me to do?" Did your father ask you to make new clothes? โ€

"It's not." Tian Ling shook his head and stretched out his hands, "I want to ask the store to help me sew something to warm my hands." โ€

"Hands? Small shops don't do this. The owner of the tailor shop pointed to the outside of the door, "Go out and turn right on the fourth shop, there is a ready-to-wear shop, there are hand-made covers and small hand stoves for sale, you can go there and have a look." โ€

"It's not a hand cover, I want something smaller than a hand cover." Tian Ling shook his head and explained, "I would like to ask the store to help make a glove that can be put on my hands to keep me warm without affecting my work. โ€

"Gloves? What does it look like? The tailor shop owner asked.

"It's like this, but the middle ones are not connected, and they are put on each finger separately." Tian Ling wrapped his long sleeve around his hand, and then gestured his other hand along the finger seam to show the tailor shop owner.

"You mean sewing your hands into them with a cloth?" When the shopkeeper saw the heavenly spirit gesture, he immediately understood.

"Yes!" Tianling nodded heavily.

"I can do it, but..." The shopkeeper paused, "This thing has never been made before, it needs to be played on the spot, this silver ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

"Don't worry, as long as you make something, it's easy to say anything else." Seeing the shopkeeper's suspicious expression, Tianling took out the usual copper coin from his arms, "This right to make a deposit, when will you be able to do it?" โ€

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and agreed, "Although it takes a bit of work to make the board on the spot, this kind of small object is very fast to make, so I will measure the size of the little boy." โ€

"It's all the fabric of the small shop here, so you might as well take a look at the colors and materials you want." The shopkeeper finished measuring Tianling's hand and led him to the side of the hanger lined with fabric.

"This is cotton weaving, soft and warm, the little boy touches it, is it very comfortable to the touch?" The store introduced.

"Is there any wool?" Tian Ling asked out loud.

"Only cashmere." The shopkeeper led Tianling to a frame, "They are all fine wool, and they are clean and have no taste, but the price is dozens of times higher than that of cotton weaving." โ€

"Why is it so expensive?" Tianling was a little surprised, why is there such a big difference between the two, "Don't look at my young age and ask for a price!" โ€

The shopkeeper looked at Tianling, and was not angry because of Tianling's questioning, "I have always been honest in business, and Tong Su is not bullied, how could I do such a thing?" It's really rare cashmere, just this box of wool, or on the day of the winter solstice, I went to buy it from Butcher Zheng early. โ€

"Then use a layer of cotton on the outside and a layer of cashmere on the inside." Tianling took a look at the cashmere in the frame and said to the shopkeeper, "Use the one over there." โ€

Tianling pointed to the dyed red cotton sermon, "In winter, I look forward to the New Year, red and festive." โ€

"The little boy looks handsome, and his vision is good, this color is the most popular color this year, if you use this color to sew a new dress, it will definitely be like the Fuwa on the New Year's painting." The owner of the tailor shop is very good at business, and seeing that Tianling himself can be the master and does not seem to be short of money, he persuaded him to make new clothes with a smile on his face, "Do you want to make a set of little boys?" Although it is said that there are still a few months before the Chinese New Year, new clothes are not only worn during the New Year, right? โ€

"You're right." The Heavenly Spirit nodded approvingly.

"I'm going to measure the size of the little boy?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"No, I'll ask someone to send a few sizes over later, and you can just do it according to the size sent." Tianling pointed to the red cotton cloth, "Remember to use this color throughout." โ€

The store was overjoyed, at first I thought that this kid had entered the wrong door, but I didn't expect it to be a big customer!

"Do you make clothes for the people of your house? I don't know where to live? The boy can leave the address, and when the clothes are ready, the store can deliver them to the house. The shopkeeper apologized with a smile, "The little boy said earlier that the adults in the family were cultivating the official road, and I was stupid enough to think that Ling Zun was a people's husband, which was really a sin." โ€

"It doesn't matter." Tianling waved his hand, "You make the gloves as soon as possible, by the way, the gloves, according to the size of your hand, make three pairs of big ones, can you do it tomorrow?" โ€

"I can do it today." Shopkeeper Road.

"Okay, I'll pick it up later." Tianling said that he was about to go back to his residence first, but when he walked to the door of the store, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you know Liang Yangde?" โ€

The shopkeeper's expression suddenly became nervous, and he pulled Tianling back into the store, looked left and right outside, and saw that no one noticed this, so he said, "Little boy, are you looking for him?" โ€

"I asked casually, and I heard that he was in the tea business, so I wanted to go and see it." Tianling pretended not to know who Liang Yangde was, and made an excuse.

"Hey, don't go, little boy!" The tailor shop owner stopped.

"Why?" Tianling pretended to be puzzled, "My father also specially instructed me to bring some purple cloud tea back." โ€

"He is a man with bad morals and does not keep his duty, he turned out to be a man in the grain business, and at that time he liked to be shoddy, and sometimes deliberately mixed some fine sand into the grain to be sold, everyone had to suffer, but fortunately, the court later invented the spiritual fan, and his trick could not be played, so he changed to the tea business."
