Chapter 194: Trouble
On the first day of Nishiki's opening, the White Peony family wore new clothes, and stood at the door and behind the counter to welcome customers with their newly hired and willing men from Izumo Town.
Because the prices in Izumo Town are different from those in Xieyang County, according to the price set by Bai Shao, no matter how half the price is, they can't lose anything, so they all smiled and watched the people flock to grab the fabric.
This move will naturally cause dissatisfaction with some time-honored fabrics, but because of the plaque personally raised by the nephew of the county, many people can only look at the brocade angrily, and then leave.
Bai Shao also knew the convergence, so he said in advance that this half-price activity was only available on the day of opening, and as a result, more and more people came to grab it.
The people who can live in Xieyang County will have different consumption power and the people of Izumo Town.
For example, at that time, Jinse opened in Izumo Town, and everyone bought cloth one zhang at a time, while most of the people in Xieyang County bought half a horse and half a horse.
One zhang of fabric can make a dress for a seven or eight-year-old child, and one and a half zhang can make a dress for an adult.
But it was only a thin garment, and if it was lined or a large skirt, the material used would not be limited to more than just one zhang.
Some complicated clothes may require one piece of cloth to make one, plus scrap materials, and some people may have to prepare two.
Bai Shao took these circumstances into consideration, and specially purchased two thousand taels of cloth and placed it in the big treasury behind the brocade.
As a result, it didn't take long for the door to open, and it was robbed about one-tenth of it, and Bai Shao's family couldn't help but smack their tongues for the purchasing power of the people in Xieyang County.
"It's really rich, if it's in Izumo Town, it won't take half a month to sell it." Bai Wei sighed quietly beside him.
Bai Shao smiled and said, "How many people can come to the embroidery village to buy cloth, how many people have no money?" ”
"That's right, when we were in Shilipu before, your grandmother wore the cloth bought by the embroidery village, and your father and I bought dozens of penn cloth over there, and it was uncomfortable to wear." Wu also whispered beside him.
Who would have thought that after only one or two years of hard work, her family would sell cloth and wear all kinds of good materials at will.
Of course, in order not to attract attention, Wu and Bai Chuanbai are both ordinary materials, but the lining is slightly better.
As for the three children, Wu refused to be wronged, and directly used the best materials to make clothes for them.
Bai Yunshi is okay, the boy doesn't need embroidery, but the skirts on the two girls were pierced by Wu, because of this, among the three skirts that were received before, one only paid a deposit and was not delivered.
It is said that the Buddha relies on gold clothes, wears bright clothes, and then wears some gold and silver jewelry, and the white peony sisters also washed the feeling of the previous little village sister, and the temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Bai Ko staggered a little and barely stood in the crowd, looking at the Bai Peony sisters smiling at the door to the guests, I couldn't believe it, they ...... How can they have the money to wear such good clothes?
The last Lantern Festival was dark, and the weather was cold and wrapped in a cloak, so she didn't notice what kind of clothes the Bai Shao sisters were wearing, but now under the sun, she finally saw it clearly.
Very comfortable material, good-looking color, exquisite embroidery, and the most popular placket shoulder and pleated eight-panel skirt in Xieyang County, compared to the proud skirt on his body, it is not bad at all.
Bai Ko lowered her head and looked at her pale pink pleated eight-panel dress.
I looked at the lilac gown and slightly darker skirt on Bai Shao's body, as well as the goose-yellow placket shoulders and the eight-panel puffing group of the same color on Bai Wei's body, which looked so good-looking and dazzling in the crowd.
Purple and yellow are a very dazzling match, and the reason why the Bai Peony and Baiwei sisters are dressed like this today is to take into account the problem of this color matching, but they didn't expect that they would unintentionally stimulate Bai Ko.
"Seven hundred and one dresses, so expensive, how can they be willing to wear them?" Bai Ko couldn't help but mutter.
About Jinse sold three expensive clothes of seven hundred taels in five months, Bai Ko laughed at those who bought skirts at first, she thought those people were too stupid, the skirts made in the good-looking embroidery village in Xieyang County were only three or four hundred taels, and what kind of good-looking clothes could be made in the embroidery village in a small town of Bai Shao's family, worth seven hundred taels?
Later, Bai Ko accidentally saw the skirt on Zhao Yueqian's body and was stunned.
It's so good-looking, so dazzling, and so rare that it's enough to be worthy of the price of seven hundred taels.
At that time, Bai Ko was moved and wanted to live, but because seven hundred taels was too expensive, she felt that the third uncle's family would definitely not be willing to wear it for her own people, so she just pressed this idea in her heart and did not put it into action.
As a result, I didn't expect Bai Shao and Bai Wei to wear one by one.
Does this mean ...... She can also ask for a dress like this to wear?
The more he thought about it, the more he was moved, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't restrain his excitement, Bai Ko thought about it in the crowd for a long time, and finally quietly took two steps back and walked towards his own house.
Because Bai Chuanqiang has indeed made a lot of money, the mansion where the Bai family lives now is also a mansion with three entrances.
The difference is that there is no row of back cover rooms for the maid to live in, and the others are almost the same as Bai Shao's house, and the rent alone costs four hundred taels a year.
At this time, Liu was sitting leisurely in front of the small garden next to the main house of the back house, basking in the sun, squinting his eyes and not knowing what he was humming.
Bai Ko quietly walked over, leaned against Liu's ear, and called softly, "Milk ......"
"Ah, the eldest sister is here." Liu Shi slowly opened his eyes, first adjusted to the harsh sunlight, and then shook his head and cleared his throat, "What's wrong?" Didn't you go out to find your father, why did you come back? Let me tell you, there are a lot of young talents in your father's job, and you are now sixteen years old, so don't pick and choose, find a suitable marriage. ”
Bai Ko lowered his head, and a touch of disgust flashed in his eyes, but the moment he raised his head, it had already turned into a smiling face, "Grandma is right, I just went to find my father, it's just ...... It's just that I saw ...... halfway through."
"Who do you see? Why are you like your mother, you still talk about half and leave half, and you can die if you say it all. Liu scolded Bai Ke unceremoniously.
"Milk, you can't think of who it is, it's the third uncle and the third aunt......" Bai Ko's eyes widened, staring at Liu's reaction.
"What?" Sure enough, Liu stood up from the recliner in surprise, "Are they here?" They're here to buy something? You have money, you can come to the county to buy things, do you see what they buy? ”
"Milk, the third uncle and the third aunt are not here to buy things, they seem to ...... It seems that there is a shop in Xieyang County......" Bai Ko said slowly, "It seems to be quite big, today is the day of the opening, and many people have gone to buy things." ”
"What, the third shop is coming to Xieyang County?" Liu was even more shocked, "The shop is still very big? They don't want a shop in Izumo Town? How expensive is the rent in Xieyang County, eldest sister, tell me, how big is the shop? ”
"Yes, it has to be as wide as the two of our family......" Bai Qiao gestured, glanced at Liu's face, saw that she seemed to be a little unhappy, and hurriedly said, "The third uncle and the third uncle are wearing brand new clothes, standing at the door to greet the guests, I saw it at the time, and I couldn't believe it, so I hurried back to tell the milk." ”
"Where does the third family have the money to rent such a big shop in the county, our yard will cost four hundred taels a year, and his big shop will not cost one thousand taels...... No way, they can't come to the county to do business. Is it that the shop in Izumo Town lost money, and they came to work in the county? Liu muttered in disbelief.
"That's unlikely, I see that the third sister and the fifth sister are also standing there in new clothes, and San Lang is also there, it is impossible to work and take the child." Bai Ko continued to say cautiously.
"This ...... This ......" Liu finally couldn't hold it anymore, slapped it on the handle of the rocking chair, and said loudly, "Sister, go and bring me my maroon jacket, I want to go over and see it with my own eyes!" ”
"Hey, okay." Bai Ko happily responded, turned his head and quickly went to the most central room in the courtyard to get Liu's clothes.
Because she was afraid of being alarmed, the old man Bai who was taking a nap, although she was extremely excited in her heart, her movements were still very light.
