"Big brother, we made a total of 40 taels of silver by selling peaches today, and I want to buy some fabric to make hats and clothes. ”

After Zhang Xiaoxue waited for Yuan Guang to drive the ox cart out of the alley of Liu's mansion, she told Yuan Guang about her plans in her heart.

"Okay, I'll drive the ox cart to the side of the cloth village. ”

When Yuan Guang heard Zhang Xiaoxue say that he wanted to buy some fabrics to make hats and clothes, he naturally did not disagree, so he drove the ox cart to the cloth village.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, this time I came to buy fabrics, in addition to wanting to buy some hats for making hats, Zhang Xiaoxue felt that the clothes she wore on her body were particularly uncomfortable, it was too stuffy, and she wanted to make some cool clothes to wear.

When I entered the cloth shop in the town, I also sold some cotton cloth and linen cloth, and because it was summer, the cloth sold in the cloth shop also increased a lot of thin items.

Zhang Xiaoxue looked at the fabrics on the counter one by one, she was not interested in those flower cloths, she chose a few light-colored thin cotton fabrics, and also selected a few light-colored fine linen cloths, these fabrics she planned to make two sets of clothes for herself and her mother.

Of course, she did not forget her father, two brothers and younger brother, and also chose a few thin pieces of fabric for them, and now there are slaves who can make clothes at home, Zhang Xiaoxue thought, as long as she draws the style of clothes she wants to make, those slaves should be able to make them.

No matter how bad she is, she can actually make clothes herself, but her work is a little slow, and her people are lazy.

Zhang Xiaoxue bought several pieces of fabric at one time, and naturally the silver was not less, although the linen cloth was not valuable, but it also cost her more than one or two silver, which was the result of her successful bargaining with the shopkeeper.

Although Zhang Xiaoxue bought so many fabrics at one time, Yuan Guang did not object to it at one time, but looked at his sister happily, not feeling that his sister was spending money at all.

When the brother and sister went home, Zhang Xiaoxue consciously handed over all the remaining more than 30 taels of silver in her hand to Zhang's mother.

"Haha! Xue'er is so amazing, just this half a day's work, she earned nearly a month's income from the family. ”

Seeing the silver taels that her daughter handed over to her, Zhang's mother was very happy, and she felt that her daughter was really too capable.

"Hehe, I'm all a business-free business, selling it is money, and the family's business can't be compared, and I can't sell it like this for a long time, I can only sell it a few times occasionally, and it can be regarded as making some extra money for the family.

Mother, I bought a few pieces of fabric, all of which were thin, and I thought about making a few clothes for the summer, so I would give them to the three steamed buns, the fourth steamed buns, and the fifth steamed buns, and let the three of them make two clothes for the family.

Oh, by the way, the clothes I want to make are not the same as the ones we wear now, and I don't know if you like it, but if you like it when I draw it on paper, if you like it, let them do the same, and make it that style for my mother, right?"

"Xue'er will still design her own clothes now, then the mother will wait, and then the mother will wear the beautiful clothes made by Xue'er. ”

When Zhang's mother heard what Zhang Xiaoxue said, she didn't mention the beauty in her heart, she felt that her daughter was really amazing, she was simply omnipotent, and she could do anything.

Let's not talk about the style of clothes designed by Xue'er in the future, Zhang's mother thought in her heart that as long as her daughter designed it for herself, no matter whether it looks good or not, she will definitely wear it.

The clothes worn by the women here are mostly the kind of plackets, and in addition to wearing a belly pocket on the upper body, they also have to wear a layer of underwear inside the outer garment, so that they are wrapped in several layers of clothes at once, so it is difficult not to get hot.

And the men here are a lot better, the upper body is simply put on a coat, and some are directly wearing the kind of sweat gown without sleeves, which makes Zhang Xiaoxue's eyes look a lot hotter, and she really wants to wear that kind of shirt without sleeves.

Thinking about the layer of clothes she was wearing, Zhang Xiaoxue was a little crying without tears, she thought that although she couldn't wear it so casually like modern times, she also wanted to combine the clothes she was going to wear with a little modern elements, try to make herself as cool as possible, and of course the clothes should look good.

When Zhang Xiaoxue said goodbye to Zhang's mother and returned to her house, she began to think about what she wanted to make her clothes, and found a pen and paper and spread them on the table.

Thinking that it can't be too alternative, the style has to be good-looking, and finally Zhang Xiaoxue painted it on paper, the clothes on the upper body are different from the wide-sleeved clothes that people wear now, she drew a narrow-sleeved one.

Zhang Xiaoxue is thinking that she will not wear underwear in the future, she can just wear a gown, and the narrow-sleeved ones can't tell if there are clothes inside, unlike the wide-sleeved ones, you can see if you are wearing underwear when you raise your arms, and the fabrics she bought are not permeable.

The waist of the clothes is also very fitting, and the right placket is specially designed with a buckle, so that it has a little taste of clothing in the Republic of China, Zhang Xiaoxue really doesn't want to wear a belt around it anymore to fix the clothes.

The clothes here, whether they are gowns or skirts, are oblique plackets, without buttons, and all rely on a belt to hold the clothes in place, if the belt is untied, the clothes will be open all of a sudden, not to mention the waste of fabric, the main thing is that it is too hot.

For the clothes on the lower body, Zhang Xiaoxue directly drew a wide leg to bare pants, as for why it is pants instead of skirts, it is because Zhang Xiaoxue does not want to wear underwear.

Zhang Xiaoxue wants to cut these pants by herself, she designed them to open the door sideways, and she wants to nail three buttons, and directly stick them on her waist according to her waist circumference, so that she saves another belt.

She didn't want to wear those fat-waisted pants anymore, and she had to use a strip of cloth as a belt, and it was hot to tie around her waist all day.

Speaking of belts, Zhang Xiaoxue had to complain, the belts used by the Zhuang family were simply too simple, the belts she usually used were fine, or a strip of cloth, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother directly used hemp rope, it seems that some poorer people use straw rope as belts even worse.

Of course, the belts used by rich people are still very particular, they are all made more beautifully, the two dresses that Yu Wenze gave her, the belts that match them are very good-looking, and the belts are embroidered with flowers, and there are belt buckles, which are much more convenient to use than a strip of cloth.

Of course, when the men of the rich family wear the outer robe, the belts they tie are all with belt buckles, and the production is more beautiful, in addition to embroidery, there are inlays, mostly with jade, agate or gemstones and other decorations, ordinary people will not have such luxury.
