Chapter 43: New Materials
No, she must educate Zhang Qinghua when she goes back, it's not okay to live like this, living in a village, the most important thing is reputation and popularity, if you offend the whole village, you will be harmed if you don't get out of the village, and the consequences will be very miserable.
Of course, if you have the ability and are not afraid of the people in the village, that's a different story.
……
With the help of so many people, in one day, all the windows and doors of Feng Yuchen's house were installed, and the bricks on the floor in the house were also paved. The scattered water surrounding the house was also paved
Even the bricks in the yard have been cleaned up, all the potholes have been filled, and the road from the door of the house to the gate has been paved with a turn, so that it will not be muddy on rainy and cloudy days.
Now I'm waiting to dry the house, buy furniture, and live in it for two.
At noon and evening that day, Feng Yuchen's family had a treat, after all, they couldn't let the family help in vain, everyone ate and drank, and they were very happy.
The little girl took the candy given by Tong Xiaowu and shouted and danced happily, and Sister-in-law Fulin also smiled, tomorrow they will start building the courtyard wall, and she should be busy by then.
After Tong Xiaowu knew about this, he agreed to leave a doorway in the middle wall, and the two families came and went.
"Sister-in-law, do you take care of the workers' meals? I can help you with cooking things. ”
"No, no, you've been exhausted for half a month, you have a good rest, and besides, don't you still have to go to town? The wall of my house can be finished in two days, and as long as the bricklayer can do it, there are not so many people, I can do it alone. ”
Sister-in-law Fulin looked at her distressedly, she had lost a lot of weight during this time.
"Can you really do it alone?"
"Yes, didn't you listen to Zhao Hongzhu? Seven people completed it in two days. Sister-in-law Fulin pointed to the person talking at the wine table.
Now Zhao Hongzhu is discussing with Brother Fu Lin about building the courtyard wall.
"Okay, if there's anything, if you squeak, I'll definitely help......" Tong Xiaowu spoke again.
"Okay, if there's something I'll call you......"
Early the next morning, Tong Xiaowu and Feng Yuchen, who had not been to the town for two or three days, got up early, and a hundred dolls were ready, and they went to deliver them.
On the way, Tong Xiaowu kept secretly looking at Feng Yuchen.
"What's wrong?"
He looked back at her, and when she had this expression, it was when she was careful.
She leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear, "I want to go to the county seat by a woman dressed as a man." ”
The corners of Feng Yuchen's eyes were provoked, she was afraid that Second Brother Liu would hear the joke on her, and she also knew that it was contrary to common sense to do so.
Rural women, no, it should be said that women in this world do not do this, and they generally have to be accompanied by men on the street.
Even if she is not accompanied by a man, she must have a family to follow, how can there be a man like her, who wants to go to the county seat alone, and still has to dress up as a woman? If the men in the village heard this, they would have to say that she didn't keep the way of women.
"Okay?" She whispered in his ear, the air she exhaled around his neck, causing a tingle.
He reached out and grabbed her and stopped her from continuing to get closer, not that he didn't want her to get closer, but that Second Brother Liu in front would see it, and he wouldn't be able to stand it.
"Do you have enough money?" He said one of the most realistic questions.
If you sell these dolls today, you will get five taels of silver, and tomorrow Sister-in-law Fulin's maiden brother will bring over with the kapok collected from their village, at least five hundred catties, which will require one or two pieces of silver, as well as yesterday's day's meal money and last night's settlement of the wages for making dolls, and another tael.
Inside and out, counting the money for the dolls that have not yet been sold, she now only has six taels of silver.
"Enough, I asked Second Brother Liu, it is only 100 wen for one person to take a carriage from Ningyue Town to the county seat, and 200 wen for me to go back and forth is enough, but the time is relatively long, and it takes three or four days to go back and forth......"
He grabbed her fingers and suddenly forced, and his eyes turned from hot just now to cold: "What about me? ”
"I'm not saying I'm ...... alone"
Before Tong Xiaowu finished speaking, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, and his eyes became sharper and sharper when he looked at her.
"Okay, it's okay for two people, the money is enough...... "Disarm and surrender, take him with you, and the two of you can take care of it."
Because she is going to the county seat tomorrow, after handing over the goods today, Tong Xiaowu and Feng Yuchen will prepare tomorrow's things, she wants to dress up as a man, naturally she must have men's clothes, look at the clothes on their bodies, she feels that she has failed very much.
Sure enough, after building the house, when I looked back, the two of them were like two earth rats, and I didn't know how she dealt with the boss in the town during this time.
Coming to Buzhuang, Tong Xiaowu looked at a few men's clothes hanging inside, a little hesitant, Feng Yuchen stepped forward and picked out an off-white gown, "How about this?" ”
She must look good in this color!
Tong Xiaowu shook her head, "I'm going to go for three or four days, just wear underwear at home, you can't choose too white outside, it will get dirty, I'll choose the black one!" ”
The shopkeeper took off the clothes, and Tong Xiaowu compared the quantity, which was quite appropriate.
After buying the clothes, the two of them walked around the cloth village again, learning about the color, quality and price of all the fabrics.
I heard that the cloth in the weaving mill in the county town is the cheapest, and the cloth in these towns is in the county seat, and you can have a comparison after understanding the market.
Suddenly, Tong Xiaowu saw a white-gray pile in the corner, as if it was scraps cut from the wool felt on one side of the scroll.
Wool felt? Tong Xiaowu's mind lit up, and she squatted on the ground and picked up the scraps to identify it carefully, sure enough, it was the wool felt she had played with, but she didn't expect this thing to really be torn off the wool felt.
"Shopkeeper? How much does this scrap cost? Tong Xiaowu asked with a ball.
The boss of the cloth village looked up and said, "This is all pure wool, which can be recycled, three hundred wen a catty"
"So expensive? A scrap is so expensive, what about the sheets of felt? Tong Xiaowu reached out and touched the felt on the side, rich people will use this to make mattresses.
Wealthier families also use wool carpets to pave the floor.
"Measure well, weigh according to the size, one or two pounds!"
The shopkeeper spoke as he made a calculation.
Hearing this price, Tong Xiaowu couldn't help but smack her tongue, and the ten houses she built were worth dozens of catties of wool felt from rich people.
"Then I'll want a little bit, how much?" It's not that Tong Xiaowu cares, it's mainly that he has no money, so he has to calculate.
She took a ball of fluffy felt scraps and handed it to the shopkeeper, and he weighed it back and said, "Two taels, sixty wen!" ”
At this price, you can buy two meters of medium-quality cloth, even if you know that it is very expensive, but Tong Xiaowu has to buy it, because there is only such a cloth village in Ningyue Town, and she has no choice.
