Mrs. Xu first set down her granddaughter's clothes.

She took off the charcoal pen that was inserted on her head as a hairpin, and wrote it down in the small notebook she carried:

The granddaughter was wearing a thin cotton jacket and cotton pants to wear in winter, and she wanted to buy two and a half catties of cotton as a core.

As for the lining cloth that wraps and sews the cotton, it is set on it a white muslin of seventy cents and a foot, and the cloth surface of the cotton trousers is set on a black muslin.

This inner cloth alone will tear thirteen feet, and one horse will be forty feet of cloth.

If you change to a normal farmhouse, you shouldn't buy a light color like white for your top.

But Mrs. Xu considered that if the color of the smock on the outside of the padded jacket was too light, the color of the inner cloth would be dark, and it would not look good when worn. But it doesn't matter if the cotton pants are over, the cotton pants are covered with a skirt, and when she returns home, she will make a pair of cotton boots for her granddaughter.

Mrs. Xu was ruthless to spend money once, and she was determined to dress up her granddaughter.

Regardless of where the person is, there are conditions to be beautiful, and there are no conditions to create conditions to be beautiful, otherwise her granddaughter will grow up and her youth will pass in a blink of an eye, what is she trying to struggle from scratch like this?

What's more, money is a bastard, it's not enough for us to make more, who knows when it will be gone, in modern times, she is prepared for danger in times of peace, and in the end she saves money and I don't know who is cheaper.

Mrs. Xu plans to set the color of Yingying pink for her granddaughter's padded jacket, which requires seven feet of pink muslin. The skirt was pleated and at least seven feet. This garment, not counting the lining that wraps the cotton core, is fourteen feet. Reserve more, taking into account the edging and disc buckles. And the skirt is set in blue.

The lady of the proprietor was very surprised by Mrs. Xu's choice of color, and then thought about it, no wonder the old woman with a patch has such a calm bearing.

Guess that even if you come from a farming family, there are at least people in the family who are literate, right? Or once for a reader or something. After all, people with high spirits can still think about beauty, otherwise it is too unrealistic.

This kind of pink and blue is very unsuitable for work in the countryside, but it is not much persuasion. Knowing that the farmer wants to buy new clothes, he must be ruthless, and it is impossible to spend money to joke, so he must have made a careful choice: "Qiu Bo Lan?"

Mrs. Xu didn't know what was called autumn wave blue and stream stone blue, she knew that the color of the skirt she chose for her granddaughter was a bit like the blue of the clear sky, it was very good-looking, and it would be better if it was satin, but unfortunately she couldn't afford it at the moment. She has big ambitions, which is the goal of the next year, to wear pure cotton for the time being.

Mrs. Xu said in a low-key manner: "It is not easy for people in the village to make clothes, so we must consider that they can also be worn in spring and summer."

"Didn't you sew it with cotton?"

"No, it's just done, the muslin that was set before is for sewing a cotton jacket, and then put this garment on the outside, so that it is easy to wash if you have a change."

Lady of the Owner: Huh? Don't say it, don't say it, this trick ......

Mrs. Xu set a thick cotton jacket and cotton pants for Xu Tianxin, and this body asked for four catties of cotton, and the lining was naturally still a thirteen-foot muslin cloth.

The second set of clothes should be begonia red, and the skirt below should be colored.

This color has a bit of a blue-black meaning. This set of thick cotton jacket and cotton pants is worn, red on the top and black on the bottom, and it is festive to wear it on the fifteenth day of the New Year. That body is worn under the pink with blue eyes or worn in spring.

In fact, according to Mrs. Xu's aesthetics, she prefers palace wall red with jade white skirts, or goose yellow with light green. As long as the granddaughter's small face is whiter, she wears it beautifully in the spring, and she catches up with the opportunity to buy cheap cloth at this time, it stands to reason that she should do two more bodies, but the money is ......

Xu Tianxin went upstairs at this time.

I heard that these two clothes and cotton lining cloth cost a total of 5,340 copper plates, more than five taels of silver, and grandma has not made a quilt for her, a shirt and pants and a vest pants to wear inside, if you count them all, how much will it cost?

Give her more to spend, and you have to save from the whole family.

Not.

It is a pity that the cloth has not yet been cut.

"Milk, come on."

Xu Tianxin dragged his grandmother aside and persuaded her mother-in-law, are we realistic? Are those colors appropriate for cooking at the farmhouse, going up the mountain to collect medicine, and serving dishes to others? Even going to the toilet and squatching in a thatched hut is not suitable. It's still a piece of whole material, no patches and brightly colored pestles among the villagers, like the strange costumes in the extreme village.

Detached from the masses.

Xu Tianxin didn't understand, obviously persuaded the milk last night, why did he regret it when he arrived in Buzhuang today, no wonder she was asked to wait downstairs and didn't let her follow.

Mrs. Xu was caught by her granddaughter and explained in a low voice: "Now that the days are going to be good, what is without your reach, I will spend less on you, what's wrong with buying two sets of dresses." I'd rather not buy them a futon." Look at the book

Live broadcast money, as well as salt-making, going back to wine-making, these few things made at home to earn money to eat, sell pastries, without her granddaughter can have today?

Mrs. Xu is full of words, just take out any of them, and her granddaughter has already earned this money for clothes. How many times did she grit her teeth and say that she would sell a set of pastries or something, and she would spend it all for her granddaughter, what happened in the end? I haven't bought anything for my granddaughter, so I still think about the Xu family as a whole.

If anyone dares to say a word, she will lead her granddaughter alone.

"Milk, my uncles have never said a word, and now call the third uncle, and he will only say yes when he hears it. But I feel awkward, the top is all pink? Or is the pure cotton cloth not satin, don't you like me to wear pink and red? So, listen to my ......."

Mrs. Xu was reluctantly persuaded, and was dragged by Xu Tianxin to set a lot of black coarse cloth with the owner's mother's family, so that the cost was reduced a lot from 70 wen a foot to 35 wen a foot.

And grandma wanted her to wear red and pink, Xu Tianxin also took into account.

For example, the delicate pink, Xu Tianxin let the owner lady only pull a foot.

She was holding her grandmother's charcoal pencil and sketching a pattern of clothes on the small book she had sewn. Just look at the whole body, only the collar is pink from the bottom to the top of the chest, and the position of one finger above the two cuffs will also be circled with a pink thin round edge, and the rest of the whole body, including the collar, is black. It's easy to take care of.

Xu Tianxin coaxed Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, when you finish cutting clothes at home, if there are any leftover rags, let my aunt make me cotton gloves and hats at that time, that is enough powder, right?" The rest of the cloth can also be sewn for me to tie my hair with two pink cloth ropes and hang down, how beautiful this body is."

In this way, the begonia red dress is also made according to Yingying pink, and the pleated skirts are all black coarse cloth skirts, where are there any autumn blue and blue colors.

In the end, Xu Tianxin was given two sets of shirts, underpants and pants vests to be washed, and the buckle cloth was counted, and it only cost three and a half dollars to put it together.

Mrs. Xu changed two single quilts and two single mattresses for her granddaughter and herself.

A quilt is four catties of cotton, and the mattress is one and a half catties of cotton.

At this point, Xu Tianxin dared to spend money.

urged, "Buy a double quilt and mattress for my second uncle and aunt." The two-meter double quilt is made of five catties of cotton, two catties of cotton on the mattress, and three taels of coarse cloth money.

"Give my third uncle and uncle the bedding according to me and my grandmother." This is again a three-and-a-half.

Mrs. Xu stopped and said, "The flowers are rising, wait until they marry their daughters-in-law and buy more, and give them the bedding that we have eliminated."

What was eliminated was a double quilt, and it was difficult for Xu Tianxin to imagine the scene where the third uncle and the younger uncle hugged each other and slept together.

Besides, the eliminated quilts, together with the chess pieces in the second uncle and aunt's house, are not to be placed in the restaurant? For a while, who stayed there to guard the shop and cover it.

"Milk, you have to change it for my uncles," Xu Tianxin whispered to Mrs. Xu, spend it first, these are all necessities, and buy something else next time you earn money, the most important thing is to live this winter. Making quilts and cotton clothes takes time and is urgent.

Besides, the uncle's sack quilt is kept as a curtain and a window to block the wind in winter, and it can also be placed in the livestock shed on the other side of the shop as a curtain, which is not wasted at all.

In the end, Xu Tianxin followed her method of dressing, and chose a "colored" dress for Mrs. Xu and her aunt, Mrs. Xu's was dark purple, and her aunt's was lilac-colored light purple, and each of these two colors pulled a foot of cloth.

And last time, the Bai family sent cloth to thank the three uncles for their righteousness, but it was only enough to make three short shirts, so the uncle's underwear was made with the Bai family's send, as for the coat, Xu Tianxin persuaded Mrs. Xu to order a one-and-a-half sixty-foot daisy coarse cloth alone, like this

In other words, whether it was the grandmother and aunt making dresses or the three uncles making clothes, it was enough, and it cost more than two taels of silver.

plus the money for making a set of thick cotton clothes and cotton pants for my grandmother and aunt, including buying two small clothes for my aunt, which cost a total of six and a half.

This is still the premise that Mrs. Xu spends money and sweats, and does not buy thin cotton jackets and cotton pants for everyone to continue to deal with with catkins.

Thirty taels of silver, and when I saw Liu Laozhu come in again, I had already spent twenty-three taels.

Liu Laozhu was shocked: "It's time for me to load the goods."

Mrs. Xu almost blurted out, "Lao Zhu, can you pay me back some money, I don't want to pay you back so much."
