Chapter 75: Making a quilt
"That's right, so how much are you going to sell it for?" The eldest sister touched the flower cloth, and some couldn't put it down, women are born with no immunity to beautiful clothes.
"Sister, you can tell me a price." Mu Xiu really doesn't know what the price of clothes and cloth is nowadays.
"That's it, the ordinary fabrics in my store are all one dollar and one foot, and the flower cloth is more expensive, two and one feet a piece, but your fabric is good, and I can't ignore my conscience, so I will accept it according to a piece of sixty-one feet." The eldest sister thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay, then according to the price given by the eldest sister, this is one meter of flower cloth, which is four yuan and eight cents." Mu Xiu quickly calculated the price.
"My name is Zhai Chunyu, you can call me Sister Chunyu, I think your little sister is also quite popular." Zhai Chunyu had a good impression of Mu Xiu's heartiness.
"Okay, Sister Chunyu, my name is Mu Xiu." Mu Xiu shouted crisply.
"By the way, Sister Chunyu, how much is this white shirt." Mu Xiu asked, pointing to the clothes hanging on the wall.
"Twenty dollars a piece." Zhai Chunyu replied.
"Sister Chunyu, my mother made some clothes at home, I want to see if I can sell them." Mu Xiu smiled and said: "It's not in vain to put it here, this white shirt, twenty yuan, I only charge fifteen yuan, and the remaining five yuan is regarded as Sister Chunyu's hard work, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Take it out and I'll see how it works." Zhai Chunyu thought of the past few days, white shirts are selling well, and she is still in a hurry to do it, since there are ready-made ones, she can earn another five yuan, this kind of thing is picking up money for nothing.
"Okay." Mu Xiu took out the white shirt in the basket and handed it to Zhai Chunyu.
"This fabric touches, but it is different from the cotton cloth that I contact in normal days, it is much softer, this neckline is handled very well, it turns out that this is done, the neckline can remain upright, will not be deformed, tsk, what sewing machine is used to make it? This kind of piping is really beautiful. "Zhai Chunyu has been doing needlework for almost ten years, and this bit of eyesight is still there, and you can see the difference at once.
The white shirts that Mu Xiu bought at the beginning were all tail orders taken from the factory, the price was cheap, and the quality was not inferior to that of the big brands.
"Sister Chunyu, these are all brought back by my relatives from the provincial capital, we rural people wear this white without getting dirty, it is better to take it out for some money, do you think this dress is okay?" Mu Xiu asked.
"Put it here first, I'll sell it and try it, how many pieces do you have?"
"Then thank you, Sister Chunyu, my relatives brought back four pieces, let's see if they can be sold." Mu Xiu said as he took out the other three.
"Alright, you can leave it here, wait five days, and then come back." Zhai Chunyu said.
"Okay, there are also these pairs of black pants, the waist circumference is two feet one, and they are sold for twenty-one." Mu Xiu saw that there were few fat people in this era, so they took out small-sized pants.
"Okay, I'll sell it first, there are quite a few people buying clothes recently, so I should sell it quickly." Zhai Chunyu touched her black pants, the fabric was thick, and she wanted to keep one herself.
"Thank you, Sister Chunyu." Mu Xiu thanked him.
"It should be me who thank you, this is the money for the fabric, you take it." Zhai Chunyu handed the money to Mu Xiu.
"Then I'll go first, and I'll come back next week." Mu Xiu took the money, said goodbye and left.
"Just a few days ago, the little sister of the Wang family wanted a flower cotton jacket, and I was not satisfied with all the fabrics, this flower cloth is good, and when my dress is ready, take it to her to see." Zhai Chunyu thought and sped up the speed of stepping on the sewing machine.
The county seat is not big, Mu Xiu walked around and found a state-run cloth store, she had the national food stamps given by Lu Yuan in her hand, which was when she used the things in the space to steal the food stamps of the same value.
At this time, Mu Xiu wanted to buy some cotton back, but she didn't have cloth tickets and cotton tickets, so she wanted to stay at the door of the state-owned cloth store to see if she could exchange some cloth tickets and cotton tickets, which can be used to exchange for cotton.
Mu Xiu waited at the door for a long time, and finally exchanged 7 catties of food stamps for 1 catty of cotton stamps for 10 catties of cotton tickets, although there was a loss, but Mu Xiu felt that it was worth it.
Most of the bedding used in later generations no longer use cotton, but use lighter and warmer silk quilts, wool quilts, camel hair quilts, and polyester fiber filled quilts, which are even cheaper and easier to use than cotton quilts......
After buying cotton, Mu Xiu, under the guidance of the salesman of the cloth shop, found a craftsman who played cotton, and bounced the ten catties of cotton into two beds of 5 catties of cotton wool.
It's already evening after these are done, Mu Xiu looked at the sky, although she still wants to buy some more things, but there is not enough time, wait for the next time to buy more.
Mu Xiu put all the things he was going to bring back into the basket, and then put the basket on his chest like a backpack, and walked towards the bus station with a quilt on his back.
At the bus station, under the license plate that read ————- Yingwu Village, Zhenping County, Mu Shui was already waiting there.
"Xiu, here." Mu Shui saw Mu Xiu with big bags and small bags from a distance, and he shouted in some shock as he ran towards her.
Mu Xiu also quickened his steps and walked over, Mu Shui pulled Mu Xiu to get on the car first, found a seat and sat down, and soon, the carriage was full of people one after another, and the people who came up behind had no seats, so they could only stand.
"Xiu, where did this quilt come from?" Mu Shui pointed to the place where Mu Xiu and his feet were placed in front of his seat, where the cotton quilt and the back basket were placed, the cotton quilt was very eye-catching, and the back basket was covered because it was covered, so I couldn't see what was in it.
"Dad, I sold the pickles and bought them." As soon as Mu Xiu's words came out, she was pulled by Mu Shui, she reacted immediately, closed her mouth, and almost forgot that at this time, she couldn't sell things privately.
"Let's talk about it when we get home." Mu Shui looked nervously at the carriage and saw that no one had noticed their conversation just now, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After staggering for almost two hours, the father and daughter finally returned to Yingwu Village, and the two got off the bus at the head of the village.
"Carry it for me." Mu Shui picked up Mu Xiu's bamboo basket and frowned, why was it so heavy, but he didn't ask much, but put it behind his back, and the cotton quilt was a bed held by the father and daughter.
There was still a little distance between the home and the village, and the two walked for more than 20 minutes to get home, and they saw a figure standing in front of the door from a distance.
When he saw Mu Shui and Mu Xiu's time, the figure paused and walked forward.
