Chapter 40 Making Shoes

Zhuyu knocked on the door of the courtyard of the white lady in the children's mouths, and looked at the woman who opened the courtyard door was a woman in her fifties. Maybe you haven't looked old yet!

"You're a new educated youth?"

Zhu Yu said with a bright smile.

"Aunt Bai, I am a new educated youth. I specifically asked you about your best craftsmanship in the village, so I came to ask you to help me make a few pairs of cotton shoes. ”

Aunt Bai looked Zhu Yu up and down, and when she saw that she was still wearing single cloth shoes on her feet, she moved away.

"Come in, it must have been the little cubs. But I'm really good at making clothes and shoes, and the village has never made mine. ”

Zhu Yu followed into the hall, and looked at a square table and a few stools, and some farm tools standing on the wall.

"Sit down, I'll take a look at what you're holding, how many pairs do you want to make?"

Zhu Yu handed the cloth and cotton to Aunt Bai.

"I want to make two pairs of cotton shoes, and I need to make four pairs of male intellectuals in the courtyard."

"The current weather is suitable for wearing thin cotton shoes, and now I wear thick cotton shoes and don't use them when it snows in winter."

"And we have thick snow here in winter, so it's easy to get wet when you wear cotton shoes made of fabric. We usually add leather to the sole and upper of the shoe to make it waterproof. ”

Zhu Yu smiled shyly.

"Aunt Bai, you see that I don't have any skin, I don't know if you have any extra at home. Can I pay a little more? ”

"Okay, why not! To whom to do is not to do. ”

Aunt Bai looked at the new fabrics and cotton she brought, and her flesh hurt for a while.

"You said that you kid, who makes shoes that are not made with clothes that you don't wear, you are good, they are all new."

"Hehe, we only have a few clothes, how can we not want them. The fabric and cotton of these shoes were made up by the three of us. ”

Aunt Bai looked at the little girl who was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything anymore.

"Since you take so much, then make each of you a pair of thin cotton, two pairs of thick cotton, and a pair of leather!"

"Okay, that's four pairs per person. I'm a size 36, and the other two male intellectuals are size 42 and 44. ”

Aunt Bai nodded, and rolled it on the cloth with her hands.

"Half the fabric and cotton is enough. I'll give it back to you when you come back to get your shoes. ”

"Okay, Aunt Bai, how much do you need to pay for me?"

"A pair of wages costs five cents, and three pairs of skins are given a piece of five."

Zhuyu took out seven pieces and put them on the table, and did not leave immediately.

Aunt Bai looked at the little girl who was still sitting here, and said in a lukewarm voice.

"Anything else?"

"I really want to trouble my aunt, I heard that the snow vegetables you make are delicious, and I want to buy some from you to taste. We just came here and asked for nothing, so we just wanted to add a dish to ourselves. ”

Aunt Bai muttered angrily.

"These little cubs have finished the village affairs for you. It's not a big deal to give you Yukina, but seeing that you are still relatively honest, I'll give you a heads-up. ”

Zhuyu looked pious and made a deaf look.

"It's okay, don't mix with the old intellectuals, at least more than half of them are not good goods. If you want to live in the village, you have to work hard, close the door when you get home, and don't run around. ”

"Of course, there are some bad people in the village. As long as you are particularly enthusiastic about you, you must be on guard, the weasel gives the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he is not well-intentioned. On the contrary, those who ignore you are people who really have no bad intentions, and they simply ignore you. ”

Zhu Yu nodded gratefully, and could give a stranger some reminders to prove that this lady was not bad.
