Chapter 52: Buying Cloth

Because Luo Ying can't make clothes, they can only buy ready-to-wear clothes.

"How much does the shopkeeper's set cost?" Luo Ying asked.

"Four hundred wen."

"What about this set?"

"This set is more expensive, six hundred wen."

"And how do you sell this cloth?"

"You can't afford this cloth, so you need a tael of silver! Look at you poor and sour, can you afford to buy it? "The shopkeeper is getting impatient.

Luo Ying is so angry!

"Then the shopkeeper, you just keep your eyes open, and take a good look at whether we can buy it." Then he and Liu Yifan walked to Zhang Ji Buzhuang opposite.

"The lady blames me, it's because I don't have the ability to make you look down upon." Seeing that his daughter-in-law was humiliated, Liu Yifan felt very guilty.

"What nonsense? In my eyes, you are good enough, relying on heaven and earth and relying on your ancestors, not a hero, a person of your age, if he has no worries about food and clothing, it can only be said that he will be reincarnated if he is lucky, the one given by his parents is called the background, and the one he fights by himself is called Jiangshan, we are still so young, as long as we are diligent and willing to use our brains, we will definitely be able to live better than them in the future! ”

In Luo Ying's heart, Liu Yifan is indeed very good, he is just fifteen years old this year, and he is still a milky middle school student in modern times! But he has to support his younger siblings, and although he is poor, he teaches his younger siblings very well, and he is not a person who can't be on the stage.

After listening to Luo Ying's words, although Liu Yifan felt better in his heart, he was still a little guilty, and secretly swore in his heart that he must get ahead and not let her be bullied!

"It's a good sentence 'What your parents give is the background, and what you hit is called Jiangshan'! Little lady, have you read a book? When the shopkeeper of Buzhuang heard Luo Ying's words, he couldn't help but smile and praise.

"Just know a few words!" Luo Ying replied.

"Whether you want to buy clothes or cloth, you like me and give you a discount."

Looking at the two people in front of him, they were poorly dressed, but they were neither humble nor arrogant, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but have a good impression of them.

"Thank you shopkeeper, let's take a look first." Liu Yifan said, "Lady, let's buy ready-to-wear!" ”

Luo Ying doesn't know how to make clothes, but it's not cost-effective to buy ready-to-wear clothes, although the money in her hand is enough to buy ready-to-wear clothes, but there are five people in the family now, how much does it cost to have one set for one person? They don't have any land, and it is unknown what the business will be after the rice dumplings are made, so buying ready-to-wear clothes is too luxurious for them.

"Does anyone in our village know how to cut?" Luo Ying asked.

"Yes, Uncle Paddy can tailor, he used to work as a tailor in a tailor shop in Wufeng Town, and then he fell his leg in an accident, and their owner quit him." Liu Yifan said.

"The shopkeeper, let's discuss it first." Luo Ying said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was very fond of the two of them, so he smiled and let them feel free, and then went to greet the other guests.

At this time, Luo Ying pulled Liu Yifan aside, lowered her voice and asked, "You said that if we buy cloth and ask him to help us tailor clothes, do you think he will agree?" ”

"Definitely, since he lost his job, the life of the family is not as good as before, we can pay him, in this way, we will not only help him, but also save money."

After receiving such an answer, the two decided to buy cloth.

"Shopkeeper, how many clothes can one piece of cloth make?" Luo Ying asked.

"With the figure of the little lady, it is estimated that you can make fourteen sets of clothes, and if you follow the figure of the little minister, it is estimated that you can make more than eleven sets." The shopkeeper replied.

Liu Yifan is about 1.7 meters, not very thin, Luo Ying's current height is less than 1.55 meters, and she is still thin, in this era, women wear long sleeves at any time, but no matter the hem of men's and women's clothes must cover the buttocks, the clothes and pants bought by the Zhuang family are relatively large, because they are bigger, and they will be re-sewn or something after they are broken, and they don't need to add fabric, and they can still be worn if they are directly smaller, and they can also be worn when they are one or two years older, so poor families rarely buy clothes that just fit.

"And how much does such a piece of cloth cost?" Luo Ying asked, pointing to the dark blue cloth in front of her.

"This piece of cloth is 800 Wen, if someone in the two families can make clothes and buy cloth, it will cost 200 Wen for women's clothes made of the same fabric, and 230 Wen for men's clothing!" The shopkeeper replied.

In this era, men's clothing is more expensive than women's clothing, because they think that men's clothing uses more fabrics than women's clothing, and the same fat people are more expensive than thin people's clothes, and Luo Ying has encountered such a thing for the first time.

A piece of cloth can be made into 14 sets of clothes for 800 Wen, but a set of clothes costs 200 Wen, how do you think this profit margin is so big! At this time, Luo Ying had other thoughts in her heart.

"Shopkeeper, I want these two blue horses, is there any material that is a little softer than this?" Luo Ying was in high spirits.

At this time, the shopkeeper recommended a softer fabric, Luo Ying touched it, and felt okay, this softer one she used to make underwear for everyone and BRA for herself, but this cloth was expensive, it cost one or two silver and three hundred wen.

"I want these three pieces of cloth, can the shopkeeper be cheaper?" Luo Ying began to bargain.

"How much is the total price?" As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out his abacus and prepared to play with it.

"Don't forget it, it's a total of two taels of silver and nine hundred Wen, can the shopkeeper be cheaper?"

Liu Yifan was surprised by Luo Ying's oral arithmetic ability, and he was stunned at the moment.

The shopkeeper was too, so he immediately fiddled a few times on the abacus, and then smiled: "The little lady is amazing!" Seeing that you are so powerful, I will give you a cheaper price, and you will have less than fifty yuan, what do you think? ”

"You see we have bought so much, can the shopkeeper send us some needlework and thread, and we will come to you to buy it next time!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't believe that Luo Ying would come, because it was rare for ordinary people to buy new clothes during the New Year's holidays, and if they bought three horses at once, it was estimated that they would not buy them for a year or two. However, he had a crush on the two children and agreed with a smile.

It's just that he didn't know that because of his enthusiasm today, he became an important member of the business map of Liu Luo and the two later.
