Chapter 10 Buying Cloth

However, as people's living conditions gradually improved, the good ones were also eliminated, because the disadvantages of this cloth as clothes far outweighed the advantages.

Pure chemical fibers are not as comfortable as cotton, easy to generate static electricity, and the wearing comfort experience is also particularly poor.

Yi Yan was not interested in the Zhenliang shirt, nor was she interested in the other clothes on the shelf, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, Yi Yuxuan suddenly ran over.

"Mom, those pants are so beautiful, I saw a classmate in our class wearing them! My classmates say it's good-looking! ”

Yi Yan looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that he was referring to the army-green children's pants.

There is nothing special about the pants, and in her modern eyes, they may be a little retro, but compared to the children's clothing that is so common that there are almost no patterns, these pants are much more different.

In addition to the two front pockets, there is also a pocket at the knee bend of the pants, and the style is somewhat like the cargo pants that were very popular in later generations, of course, not as trendy as cargo pants.

The pockets are embroidered with beautiful cartoon patterns with different colored threads, which stand out in a common children's clothing.

It's no wonder that Yi Yuxuan likes it.

Xu Hui has always spoiled her own children, and Yi Yuxuan is not the kind of bear child who is used to making trouble, seeing that he likes it, Xu Hui stepped forward to inquire about the price.

"These pants cost a one-foot cloth ticket, twenty-five yuan." The salesman replied to her.

Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by the price.

"This is the goods from the mountain city, the latest and most popular one this year, the children in the city are wearing it, this is the first time we have entered this kind of fashionable goods." The salesman also knew that this thing was a bit expensive, so he explained a few words to him.

Xu Hui understood, but was still a little hesitant.

In fact, a one-foot cloth ticket is not much, but the twenty-five yuan is too expensive.

Usually she buys cloth to make clothes, and a set of cloth is handmade, and it is only ten or eight yuan.

This children's clothing is so small, and such a short pair of pants actually costs twenty-five!

It's not ordinary!

"Mom, these pants look so good, can you buy them for me." Yi Yuxuan is young, he doesn't know the concept of money very well, and he likes the pants very much, so he begged Xu Hui to sell them to him.

Xu Hui hesitated for a moment, squatted down and said to him, "These pants are a bit too expensive, otherwise my mother will buy a few feet of cloth and find a tailor in the village to make one for you?" ”

"How can the pants made by the tailors in the village be compared to the garment factory in the mountain city, if they are broken, it will not only waste money, but also waste fabric." The salesman pulled the pants, "Although these pants are a little more expensive, they are beautiful and durable, you can see this fabric, it is also a new product." You can't make it yourself, you can't buy this cloth alone. ”

"But ......" Xu Hui still hesitated.

It's not for anything else, it's too expensive, and their family doesn't say they can't afford it, but she thinks it's too extravagant to spend so much money on a pair of pants.

Seeing this, Yi Yan took over the words and said, "You can still wear it if it is broken, how can you know if it will work if you don't try it." ”

"Yo, the little girl is quite loud." The salesman glanced at her with some disdain, "If any style of pants can be made by the tailors in the village, then where can the clothes of the garment factory be sold?" Who buys it at such a high price? None of us are stupid. ”

"yes, so let's try it, let's go, sister-in-law." Yi Yan didn't have a verbal relationship with her, pulled Xu Hui and turned to leave.

The salesman snorted, returned to the counter, and said, "If you can't afford it, you can say that you can't afford it, and try it, it's not poor and sour." ”

Her voice was neither high nor low, just as loud as Yi Yan could hear.

Xu Hui's face turned cold, and she turned around to go back, "Isn't it just a pair of twenty-five pants, it's a big deal to save a few months, what can't you afford." ”

"Sister-in-law......" Yi Yan grabbed her and said, "If you go back to buy it, you will really be fooled, she said these words, it is nothing more than to provoke you, if you really spend this money, it will be her wish and she will succeed." ”

She has been doing high-end design for so many years, and she has a clear understanding of the routines of various luxury brands, and some store staff will even deliberately be high-minded to motivate customers to spend more.

Of course, this salesperson is different from a luxury store clerk, Yi Yan estimates that she should want to evaluate something advanced.

The supply and marketing cooperatives will reward advanced employees every year, sell more, sell well, have honor and money, and the salesperson is estimated to be a member of the scope of the struggle, so active.

Xu Hui stopped, thinking that her words were indeed reasonable, but she felt unwilling, and said, "Actually, it's not that we can't afford it, it's just that it's too cost-effective, and that pair of pants can be used as three clothes for ordinary people." ”

"yes, it's not cost-effective, so let's do it ourselves." Yi Yan said as she pulled Xu Hui to the counter selling cloth.

The color and material of the cloth sold now are relatively simple, and there are not as many bells and whistles as in later generations.

The red and green dyes are not good-looking, Yi Yan first ruled it out, and pointed to a dark brown fabric to show Xu Hui.

"Sister-in-law, do you think the color of this cloth is very good-looking? It feels quite suitable for Yuxuan. ”

Xu Hui looked in the direction she pointed, Yi Yan's eyes were very good, and the dark brown fabric was indeed very suitable for boys.

Xu Hui nodded and said, "This color is really good." ”

He turned his head and asked Yi Yuxuan, "What do you think?" Do you like the color? ”

"I like it." Yi Yuxuan nodded, and also sneered at the salesman just now, "Mom." We don't buy her things, we buy the cloth and make it ourselves, this color looks better than that color. ”

"Then buy two feet." Xu Hui turned back to the salesperson at the counter and said, "Cut two feet of this cloth for me." ”

"Okay." The salesman answered, and took out scissors and a ruler to cut cloth.

Xu Hui said to Yi Yan again, "Xiaoyan also chooses, let's buy a few feet of cloth in the photo and make new clothes." ”

Yi Yan's study and living expenses have always been from her eldest brother's family over the years, and Xu Hui has also been very good to her, always putting her first and never treating her harshly.

Yi Yan has a lot of clothes, which are completely enough to wear, and she doesn't need to make new clothes herself.

But she has always wanted to make a set for Qin Yuecheng.

Qin Yuecheng's clothes were all washed hard, and they could smash people when they were picked up, she felt sad every time she saw Qin Yuecheng wearing them, and she also felt that Liu Yulian and they were really not individuals.

But right now, she doesn't make money and income, she wants to make clothes for Qin Yuecheng, and she has to let her brother and sister-in-law's family spend money to buy them, so she will be a little unhappy in her heart.

So he shook his head, "I have enough clothes to wear, I don't need to do it anymore." Sister-in-law, you can pick out some fabric for yourself, and I'll make you one when the time comes. ”

"You do?" Xu Hui listened to the amusement, stretched out her hand and patted her and said, "Xiaoyan, are you teasing your sister-in-law?" When will you be making clothes? ”

"That is, I just learned recently, and sometimes I am tired of studying, so I want to find something to scatter and distract myself, so I learn to sew and mend clothes by myself. This kind of thing is born and cooked again, and gradually it will come to pass. Yi Yan took out the rhetoric that she had prepared a long time ago.

Xu Hui was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Our Xiaoyan is smart, and she learns everything quickly, but this sewing and clothing making is still not easy to learn, even I have made cotton clothes and cotton pants for so many years, and I can't make clothes to wear outside, but I can't learn it overnight."

"Otherwise, the tailors in the village will not be so sought-after, some people have been tailors for decades, and they can only make some ordinary style clothes, and those ready-to-wear imported from other provinces can't be made. There is a lot of knowledge in making clothes, and it is not something that can be learned casually. ”

"Yes, that's why I have to try, and I can progress faster if I try more." Yi Yan said, took the wrapped cloth handed by the salesperson, and said, "Sister-in-law, can you let me try it?" I'd like to make a pair of pants for Yuxuan to give it a try. ”

"This ......" Xu Huiwenfang's first reaction in her heart was-how is this possible?

She hadn't even seen Yi Yan mend clothes, so she was going to make clothes? Could this be done well?

Seriously, if Yi Yan can make a pair of pants, even if it is straight up and down, she will think Yi Yan is very powerful.

But if she wants to make it the same style as that pants, she is a tailor, she doesn't have confidence, how can Yi Yan do it?

She didn't have hope for Yi Yan at all, but she couldn't bear to dampen Yi Yan's enthusiasm, and it was rare that Yi Yan was interested in something other than studying.

"Mom, let my little aunt try it, I want to wear the pants made by my little aunt." Before Xu Hui could think about it, Yi Yuxuan pulled her clothes and begged.

With sparkling eyes, he was obviously looking forward to Yi Yan making pants.

Yi Yan usually studies well and has a lot of guidance on his homework, so he admires Yi Yan more, which extends to other things.

After all, the two-foot fabric didn't have much money, Xu Hui gritted her teeth and agreed, saying, "Then Xiaoyan will try it!" ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I will do well." Yi Yan said with a smile.

"Shall we go to the counter and see those pants again?" Write down the style. Xu Hui asked.

Although she doesn't have hope for the finished product made by Yi Yan, if Yi Yan doesn't do it well, she will find a tailor to make it for Yi Yuxuan, and then she will also need to draw a general pattern of the style, so that the tailor can do it according to the requirements.

Inevitably, she would come back when the time came, and she wanted to write down the style directly this time.

"I've written it down." Yi Yan said.

She has been designing for so many years, and she has never forgotten the style of clothing, otherwise she would not have the ability to be called a genius designer.

"So fast?" Xu Hui was stunned.

She had looked at the pants several times, and she had glanced at them when she left, but she hadn't remembered the details of the pants.

"Xiaoyan deserves to be admitted to university, and her memory is good." Xu Hui praised Yi Yan, "Then let's go buy something else!" ”

"Sister-in-law doesn't tear a piece of cloth to make new clothes?" Yi Yan asked.

"Then I'll pull two feet of this brown one." Xu Hui was about to leave, turned back to the counter, and asked the salesperson to cut another two feet of cloth.

"I'm afraid two feet is not enough!" Yi Yan looked at Xu Hui's figure.

Even if it is to make a pair of pants, these two feet are not enough.

She has made so many clothes over the years, and she has always been as accurate as a ruler for the materials used in the fabric.

"It's okay, that's enough." Xu Hui didn't say much, but what she thought in her heart was that if Yi Yan's cloth was scrapped, two more feet of cloth would be spared, and she would directly make pants for Yi Yuxuan when the time came.

Of course, she didn't say what was in her heart.

But Yi Yan is not a fool, seeing that she doesn't want to say more, she understands something, and she is amused and a little moved.

Xu Hui was willing to give her new cloth when she knew that she would make waste fabrics, which was really good to her.

After all, at this time, it is not like the later generations, a piece of fabric is not valuable.

Now industry and material are poor, everything is good.
