On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Xu Qingyan asked Li Xiaohan to go shopping in the county seat.

Xu is just after the New Year, the business of the cloth village is a little deserted, and there are only two of them in the cloth village early in the morning, so they are naturally very enthusiastic about them.

All the fabrics of the cloth village were introduced to them from beginning to end, from the name to the origin of the color, and the detailed abnormalities explained.

Xu Qingyan listened quietly, and secretly noted in her heart that it was rare to have the opportunity to understand so comprehensively, how could she miss it, Li Xiaohan also listened carefully.

After explaining dozens of fabrics, the guy's mouth was dry, and the two girls in front of the meeting only listened but didn't speak, so the guy had to say loudly: "Do the two girls like it?" ”

Xu Qingyan came back to her senses, pointed to a white silk cloth introduced by the guy just now, and said, "That one is good." Then he turned his head and asked Li Xiaohan's opinion: "What do you think?" ”

Li Xiaohan nodded and said, "Yes, using this fabric to make a short shirt and a red Luo skirt must be very energetic." ”

Xu Qingyan thought for a moment and felt that it was really good, "Then let's have a horse." ”

The guy was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses with a smile on his face. I met a big customer early in the morning, "The girl still has a fancy to it, if you buy more, I can make the decision cheaper." ”

"Xiao Han, which one do you think is good-looking?"

Li Xiaohan looked at it for a moment, pointed to a light blue cloth and said, "That one is good, the color is refreshing, and it should look good as a spring shirt." ”

Xu Qingyan smiled: "Okay, then this cloth will be given to you." ”

Yes!

Li Xiaohan froze, and then shook his head vigorously: "No, no, I can't accept it." ”

"You just take it, you help me make so many clothes, and I haven't paid me yet."

Li Xiaohan still shook his head: "I'll make clothes for you, you don't have to give money." ”

Xu Qingyan grinned: "Yes, so I don't give money." You can take this cloth, or I'll be embarrassed to ask you to make clothes. Then he pointed to another red horse and said, "How about making a Luo skirt with a white silk shirt from that red horse?" ”

Li Xiaohan looked at her pointed, and nodded after a moment, "Yes." ”

Seeing that the topic was diverted from the topic, Xu Qingyan smiled.

In the end, Xu Qingyan chose nearly seven pieces of cloth, and several pieces of cloth alternated colors, making up enough for six clothes.

Li Xiaohan saw it and secretly smacked his tongue and said, "It's not too much. ”

Xu Qingyan said with a smile: "Not much, I will often go out to socialize in the future, I can't wear a piece of clothing every day, it's just that you have to work hard, who told you to make clothes that fit and fit." ”

Li Xiaohan didn't feel tired at all: "It's not easy for you to like the clothes I make, I'll help you make them, but do you have any other favorite patterns, you can't embroider lotus flowers piece by piece." ”

"That's not necessary, you can help me choose the tricks, I can trust your vision."

Although Xiao Han is just a peasant girl, her aesthetics and color matching are really not bad at all.

"A total of fifty-three taels, erase the change for the girl, and take fifty taels." The young man smiled and said, after this business, he can get a commission of one or two silver, which is two months' wages.

Li Xiaohan listened to the guy's account, and his heart trembled, fifty taels! But seeing Ah Yan's face unchanged and taking out a silver ticket of fifty taels, and then thinking of the two bottles of things that Ah Yan gave her, Li Xiaohan was relieved again.

Xu Qingyan was thinking carefully at this time, she bought a total of seven pieces of cloth, gave one to Xiao Han, and six more.

In this era, a piece of cloth is four zhang, and one zhang is more than three meters, which means that a piece of cloth is equivalent to about 13 meters.

One piece of cloth can make about five clothes, and the extra can buy a few spring shirts for her family, but most of the colors she buys are women's favorite colors, and the colors are younger.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingyan turned around and picked out a few more fabrics that were more suitable for men and the elderly, and spent nearly twenty taels.

Today's driver is Du Zhong, the original twelve people, seven girls, except for Li Xiaohua's sisters, the remaining five people work in the Half Lotus Pavilion.

The five boys' main task is still to study, and in their spare time they take turns learning to drive a car, which is also a survival skill.

asked the man to carry the fabric to the car, and told Du Zhong to wait here, and she and Li Xiaoxu continued to shop.

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the first day for all businesses to do business, so in addition to shops, there are also many people setting up stalls, and as the day gets higher, there are more and more pedestrians on the streets.

Seeing that the young lady had taken the girl of the Li family away, Du Zhong drove the carriage under the banyan tree not far away, then sat down on the wheel, and took out a three-character scripture from his arms.

This book was specially bought for them by the young lady from the county seat, and after the young master finished teaching on weekdays, the five of them would go back to the room to review the content of the young master's teaching.

He hadn't had time to review the few words that the young master taught him yesterday.

"Sour, bitter, sweet, and spicy. These five flavors are contained in the mouth. Burnt and rotten. These five smells are smelled by the nose. Du Zhong looked at it and couldn't help but read it.

The passers-by were surprised to see the boy in the carriage, the sun shined through the leaves, and the dappled light fell on the young man, adding a warmth.

Here, Xu Qingyan and Li Xiaohan were passing by a garment shop, Li Xiaohan pulled Xu Qingyan's sleeve with curiosity on his face and said, "Ayan, let's go in and have a look." ”

The two entered the garment shop together, only to see two long wooden sticks on the top of the shop, and a few ready-to-wear clothes on the wooden sticks passed by the sleeves.

Xu Qingyan saw it, and only felt uncomfortable tight, it was like a person being crucified, it was really not beautiful at all.

After a few glances, the style of the clothes is ordinary, and the color scheme is relatively dull and old, although there are embroidery, but the pattern on it is heavily colored, Xu Qingyan really can't like it.

After Li Xiaohan looked at it, she was also a little interested, she didn't expect the clothes in the ready-to-wear shop to be like this, originally she planned to take a second look and learn from it.

The two of them got out of the shop, and after walking a hundred steps, Li Buhan whispered: "It's no wonder that shop has no business, and the style of clothes is not good-looking at all." ”

Xu Qingyan nodded and said: "So, my mother asked me to go to the ready-to-wear store to buy clothes, but I refused, you look at the color, it is too heavy, more than dignified, and not smart enough." ”

Li Xiaohan agreed very much when he heard this: "No wonder you like the clothes I make, it turns out that we have the same vision, and I also think that the color matching of that clothes is very problematic." ”

"There are two ready-to-wear shops in the county, I've been there, but they're all the same, anyway, I don't think you're as good as your craftsmanship."

Li Xiaohan raised his head, "That is, my craftsmanship has been passed down from my mother, and my mother's embroidery method is authentic Suzhou embroidery." ”

Embroidery! Xu Qingyan had heard a lot of this name in her previous life, but she didn't know if this Su embroidery was Bi Su embroidery.

But it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, she just needs to know that Li Xiaohan's craftsmanship is better than that of the embroidery girl in the ready-to-wear shop.

"Xiaohan, I have a way to make money, do you want to listen?"

Li Buhan's eyes lit up and said, "Yes." ”

"Your craftsmanship is so good, you really shouldn't waste it, or let's open a ready-to-wear shop together, I will make clothes, you will make your craft, how about half of the profits?"

Xu Qingyan mentioned this, firstly, she wanted to make some money, and secondly, she also wanted to pull Li Xiaohan, this girl had a good embroidery, so it was a pity to bury it like this.

"This... I'm afraid I can't do this craft to open a shop, right?" Li Xiaohan is not very confident, it was just a joke just now, if she really wants to go on the scene, she feels that she may not be able to do it.

"Okay, why not, you just looked at the clothes of that house, what do you think your craftsmanship is like that one?"

Li Xiaohan looked shy and said, "It's a little better." ”

Xu Qingyan glanced at her, "Don't pretend to me, you must want to say in your heart, it's better than her." You see, that shop has business, and with your skills, if we open a shop, we will definitely be like a cloud. ”

Li Xiaohan was attracted by the picture she described, but still kept a trace of sanity: "But I will only have those few tricks, and I can't support a shop with those ones." ”

"Don't worry about this, I'll have some clothes and patterns, and I'll draw them for you when the time comes, and you can embroider them."

Li Xiaohan paused when he heard this: "I'll think about this again!" ”

"Okay, you think slowly." 2k reading web
