As soon as he stepped into his yard, Jiang Yan saw a large group of people around the old lady.

These aunts and uncles listened to the Peking Opera on the radio with the old ladies, and some even hummed a few words quietly.

Jiang Yan and the others were a little loud when they came in, which woke up these people who were listening fascinated, so Jiang Yan said hello with a smile.

"Xiao Jiang, you are robbing the department store, so many fabrics" Seeing the things in Jiang Yan and He Yuzhu's hands, the three mothers asked.

"What kind of robbery of a department store, this is something that someone else gave to our boss."

Before Jiang Yan could speak, He Yuzhu, who was holding something behind Jiang Yan, opened his mouth proudly.

"Mouthy." Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Jiang Yan glared at him.

Seeing Jiang Yan's knife-like eyes, He Yuzhu shrunk his neck and didn't say a word.

"This cotton cloth is so good, I'm afraid there are 40 of them! Damn, you touch this fabric and it's very soft. ”

The three mothers ran over with one aunt and touched the cotton cloth in Jiang Yan's hand.

Yarn count is a physical index to evaluate the thickness of yarn, and its full name is metric count.

In this era, there are 20, 40, 50, and 60 pieces of cotton cloth with limited technology, simply put, if there is 1 tael of cotton, you pull it into 30 meters of cotton yarn, and the number of pieces of cloth woven with such cotton yarn is 30; Draw it into a 40-meter-long cotton yarn, and the number of threads of the cloth woven from such cotton yarn is 40; And so on. The higher the count of cotton cloth, the thinner, softer and more comfortable the woven cotton cloth is. The higher the quality requirements for cotton for the cloth with high count count, the higher the requirements for the equipment and technology of the spinning mill, the greater the cost.

Most of the fabrics in this era are generally 20 counts, which are relatively thick to the touch.

"This is not 40 pieces of cotton cloth, it's 60 pieces of cotton cloth, and the three mothers are carefully touching it."

Hearing the words of the three mothers, Jiang Yan opened his mouth and replied.

"Really? is so advanced, Xiao Jiang is not afraid of your jokes, I haven't touched 60 pieces of fabric yet! ”

The three mothers laughed after speaking.

As a good hand in life, how could the three mothers not be able to figure out the count of this cotton cloth, the reason why she said this was because she deliberately tried to test Jiang Yan's idea of understanding it.

There is a big difference between the price of these 40 cotton cloths and 60 cotton cloths, if Jiang Yan didn't know the difference, she would find an interface to buy some from Jiang Yan.

"Xiao Jiang, where did you and the pillar go, these big bags of things are not old or young."

An aunt next to her suddenly interjected.

"The factory sent me to Baocheng on a business trip, no, I didn't think that the pillar was going to be a happy event, I thought about it, please tell Uncle He about it, don't you take the pillar with them by the way."

"Did you see He Daqing?" Aunt Yi then asked.

"See, the chat is very good, the misunderstanding between the pillar and my father-in-law has been resolved, you see, auntie, my father-in-law also bought us so many things."

Before Jiang Yan could speak, Qin Huairu, who was beside He Yuzhu, was ostentatiously holding the things He Daqing bought for them.

"That's good, I'll just say! Where is this father and son having an overnight feud, just say it, Huairu, you see that your father-in-law doesn't love you very much! ”

"Yo! There's a lot of rain in this area! ”

From the beginning of telling the people in the small courtyard to take He Yuzhu to see He Daqing, Jiang Yan began to observe Aunt Yi's demeanor, feeling that her demeanor was as usual, and her eyes were also extremely calm, without the slightest panic.

Looking at his demeanor, Jiang Yan speculated that this uncle intercepted the living expenses sent by He Daqing to He Yuzhu's brothers and sisters, and it is estimated that the first aunt should not know.

Since there was a lot of donkey meat purchased this time, Jiang Yan asked He Yuzhu's family to send a little, not much, that is, to taste a taste.

The neighborhood relationship in this era is the real "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors".

If an adult needs to go out to do something, it is normal to entrust a neighbor to help take care of it, and let the child go to the neighbor's house to play for a while. Not only will the neighbors refuse, but they will also take out the delicious and fun food at home for the children to enjoy, and treat each other with the same sincerity as their own children.

Not only do the neighbors have a good relationship with each other, but they even know who has several important relatives. Sometimes when a relative comes, and the owner is not at home, the neighbors will be very enthusiastic to let the relatives wait at their own home.

Although the economic conditions in this era are also very ordinary, especially now that it is still the era of planned economy, no one will have a surplus. But the neighbors help and support each other, and they are as harmonious as a family, and whoever makes delicious food will think about their neighbors, no matter how much or how little, they will always forget to give a little to their neighbors.

Jiang Yan is also following the local customs, after all, the relationship between the neighbors in the entire courtyard is not as tense and calculating as in the TV series.

Even Jia Zhang's is not like a TV series, except for a little gossip and a broken mouth, it is not much different from an ordinary old lady.

"Xiao Jiang is really generous, this has to be two or two! If it were me, I wouldn't be reluctant, at most a few pieces would be sent by the family. ”

The three masters, Yan Bugui, said a word about the donkey meat sent by He Yuzhu.

After saying this, he sniffed it vigorously.

"It tastes so good, I can eat several bowls of rice just by virtue of the taste."

"Alright! Hurry up and bring it to me, cut it down a little bit to relieve the children's cravings, don't you see that they are all looking at you? ”

After saying this, the three mothers snatched the donkey meat from the hands of the three masters, turned around and went into the kitchen.

"Each person can cut a piece to relieve their hunger, cut it a little thinner, the weather is still cold, you can put it away, and you can save it for a month or two!"

"It's not a loss, it's dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the ground! This meat tastes so good. ”

The third master, Yan Bugui, finished eating his share of donkey meat, and he was satisfied.

"Xiao Jiang is still really capable, old man, there are a lot of people who have sent him things for a while."

When the three mothers said this, the children who sat next to them and carefully ate donkey meat also pricked up their ears to listen, there was no entertainment in the evening of this year, and talking about other people's parents in their own homes was the best pastime.

"Isn't it? Just two days ago, a People's Liberation Army with a jeep came to deliver something to Jiang Yan, guess what it was. ”

The three mothers did not answer the questions raised by the third master, Yan Bugui, but squinted and waited for his next step.

"It's oil, a whole barrel of oil, I look at about ten catties."

The three masters announced the answer with envy.

"Ten catties, so much, how much do we have this month, Boss Yan, you said for so many years, who in our yard has bought more than five catties of oil. Do you think you can eat all this amount of oil? ”

"I don't know if I can finish eating, I'll tell you! It's just that someone else forced it into Xiao Jiang's hand, and I don't think Xiao Jiang wants it yet. ”

"He doesn't want to ask for something from others."

After hearing what the three masters said, the three mothers looked incredible, plus distrustful.

There are still such fools in these years. If only I had brought it myself.
