Chapter 078 is indeed good cloth
After talking to the apprentices in the blacksmith shop, Zhou Silkworm carried the iron plough and walked towards the nearest farmland.
Liu Xing led the melon seeds and followed behind with Xiao Budian.
On the ridge, after waiting for a while, Zhou silkworm took the ox rope from the hands of an old man.
Then he put a bend on the ox, tied the rope to the hook of the iron plough, and with a slight wave of the bamboo strip in his hand, he began to plow the field.
At first, he was still a little worried, after all, he had encountered the situation of the iron plough falling apart before, but as the iron plough fell into the field and the soil rolled, he gradually became relieved.
Because the feel is not wrong, the iron plough made by Liu Xing's supervision is as stable as Mount Tai in his hands, even if he encounters a hard stone, he can easily cut through, and there is no feeling of falling apart before.
When the lively villagers on the ridge saw this scene, one couldn't help but praise it, and some even gave a thumbs up.
After all, compared with the iron plough and the wooden plow, which plough the field is more powerful, now it is clear at a glance.
Zhou silkworm, who was plowing the field, couldn't cry or laugh when she saw this scene.
Only then did he realize that he couldn't care about other people's thoughts in making iron plows.
Otherwise, his mentality will be shattered.
Because it was these villagers who said that his iron plough was not good.
Now it is these villagers who praise him for his iron plow.
It's kind of hell to me.
After plowing five times, I saw that there was really no problem with the iron plough in my hand.
At that moment, he drank the ploughing ox, carried the iron plough up the ridge, and then cleaned it.
Seeing this, Liu Xing asked, "Now you have learned the technique of making iron ploughs, have you?"
"Hmm," Zhou Silkworm smiled embarrassedly.
"Then I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" After Liu Xing said this, he took the melon seeds and Xiao Budian and turned around and left.
"Master, you eat at my place and then leave!" Zhou Silkworm couldn't care about his face now, and shouted at the top of his throat.
As soon as these words came out, many villagers around him looked at him like monsters.
Of course, more of the villagers' attention was on Liu Xing.
After all, this young man can be called a master by Zhou Silkworm, so there must be something extraordinary.
"Don't eat it, I'll talk about it next time I have a chance. Liu Xing waved his hand without looking back, and he chose to ignore the gaze of the surrounding villagers.
After all, he is a reborn person, and the reaction of these melon-eating masses has long been strange.
But melon seeds are different from Xiao Budian, they are very curious about such a gaze, and at the same time they admire Liu Xing more and more, until Liu Xing walked into the blacksmith shop, they hurriedly chased after him.
At the first time, Liu Xing did not leave the black market.
Because he needed to buy tools to make shoes.
If possible, buy yourself a new set of clothes.
After all, I have to go to the Donghe Police Station for dinner tomorrow, if I don't dress up better, I will definitely lose face with Director Wu.
It's just that Liu Xing felt depressed that he couldn't find a place to sell shoes and tools after looking for most of the day, but the tailor shop found one, but if you want to make clothes, you must pay a deposit in advance, and you need to tailor it.
In other words, even if he pays the money, he may not be able to wear clothes in the next two or three days.
After all, in the 80s, the tailor shop was doing a booming business, and there were more than a dozen people queuing up to pay the deposit.
Liu Xing looked at this scene and finally thought about it, because he really didn't have time to spend it in this tailor shop, and after looking at the time of the clock on the wall, he took melon seeds and Xiao Budian to Zhou Silkworm's blacksmith shop.
Although he can not buy clothes, but the tools for making shoes, he must buy them back, and Zhou Silkworm should know where it is, so it is the most correct choice to go to the blacksmith shop now and ask.
Otherwise, when I go back, my aunt and eldest sister will have no tools to use, and then he will lose his money.
On the way, he saw a stall selling pork, and immediately stepped forward to buy four or five catties of pork belly and three catties of pork ribs. Originally, I wanted to take down all the bones, but in the end I saw that it was not fresh, so I didn't ask for it.
Seeing that the melon seeds and Xiao Budian were very greedy for the freshly made baked cakes on the roadside stalls, Liu Xing smiled and bought one by one, and only after tasting it did he know that the taste was crispy and sweet, which was much better than the baked cakes made mechanically decades later in his memory.
In order not to miss such a delicacy, I bought ten more in one go.
This made the melon seeds and Xiao Budian cheer, and their happy eyes smiled like crescents.
And volunteered to help get the biscuits as soon as possible.
Liu Xing didn't know the careful thoughts of these two girls, so he handed it over casually.
Just as he was about to speed up his pace and walk into the blacksmith shop, at the gate of the blacksmith shop, Zhou Silkworm ran out angrily with a broom and chased a shirtless boy.
Soon, the two of them appeared in front of Liu Xing as soon as they chased and fled.
Melon seeds and Xiao Budian were frightened, and hurriedly hid behind Liu Xing.
"What's wrong with you?" Regarding Zhou Silkworm's moodiness, Liu Xingna couldn't help but ask.
"This stinky boy wiped off the iron plough model pattern on the ground in the backyard, that is what I rely on to make iron ploughs in the future, it's gone, can I not beat him?" Zhou Silkworm still wanted to chase the shirtless boy, but was pulled by Liu Xing.
Liu Xing asked in surprise: "My brother Zhou, I taught you like that before, do you still need to rely on a model pattern to make the iron plow?"
"Otherwise, what you said is very profound, and I haven't read many books, if I don't draw a pot according to the scoop, how can I learn the technique of making an iron plough in a short time!" Zhou Silkworm scratched his head with a smile and replied embarrassedly.
"You ......" Liu Xing listened to Zhou Silkworm's words, and really wanted to kick Zhou Silkworm away, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe he was too demanding, and he didn't think about Zhou Silkworm's background and the 'ink' in his stomach.
Some things are very simple in his eyes, but in Zhou Silkworm's eyes, I am afraid that there is a certain degree of difficulty. After all, no matter what, the new iron plough he made was a few decades later, and some basic techniques he looked very simple, but in the eighties, he was afraid that there were still many problems that had not been solved.
Moreover, just like Zhou Silkworm himself said, after all, he hasn't read many books, and his understanding of some technical words is simply playing the piano to a cow, and he can't understand it if he wants to.
Only by using the most simple method in the countryside and teaching by word and deed, can the silkworms learn quickly.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing didn't scold Zhou Silkworm anymore, but reached out and patted Zhou Silkworm's shoulder: "Come on, don't blame the apprentice if you are stupid, now I have something for you to do, and when it's done, one day I will take the time to teach you how to make an iron plow, right?"
Since the tobacco and alcohol have been accepted, it is natural to be responsible to the end.
Otherwise, others will think that he cheats and cheats!
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Silkworm saw that Liu Xing was so easy to speak, and nodded in agreement.
"You take me to buy the cobbler's tools first, Brother Xie helped buy them once before, but unfortunately I don't know where the specific location is. Liu Xing said what he thought in his heart: "There is also the location of the boss of the grain and oil store, there is no oil in my house, so I have to buy some vegetable oil to go back." ”
Although the life in the family has improved a lot, there is not enough oil to eat.
I gave everything I bought last time to my eldest sister, and this time I came to the black market, so I naturally wanted to buy more and go back.
"Okay, you come with me. Zhou Silkworm hurriedly put down the broom in his hand and walked towards the east of the black market with Liu Xing, melon seeds, and Xiao Budian.
I walked through a narrow aisle and came to a dilapidated greenhouse.
There are several delinquent youths patrolling back and forth at the entrance of the greenhouse.
Seeing that Zhou Silkworm came with Liu Xing, he didn't care much after glancing at each other.
"The things bought and sold in this greenhouse are currently not allowed to circulate in other places except for the supply and marketing cooperatives, and if they are caught, they will be locked up. Zhou Silkworm, who walked into the greenhouse, whispered to Liu Xing: "Of course, it's not as serious as I said, our brother Xie has someone on it, as long as it's not blatantly working against the supply and marketing cooperative, then it's fine." ”
"The cobbler's tools you want to buy are actually taken by Brother Xie in this greenhouse, although they are not controlled goods, but they are not sold in the entire HY City, other places. After a pause, Zhou Silkworm added.
"Oh!" Liu Xing suddenly realized.
He said that last time Brother Xie got the goods for him, why did he let him wait on the street.
It turns out that ordinary people will not let this greenhouse in, but this time he can come in with melon seeds and small points, because he is an acquaintance, he knows his details, and he will not tell the inside story here.
"Why don't you wait for me first, and I'll go get you the cobbler's tools?" Zhou Silkworm saw that many business bosses in the greenhouse looked at Liu Xing and the melon seeds and Xiao Budian with ill intentions, and immediately proposed.
"Okay, bring me five sets, and other things, like white rabbit toffee, biscuits, twist flowers, soap for laundry, and new clothes for me, my sister, and my niece. Liu Xing looked around the greenhouse, and saw that there were a lot of things bought and sold inside, much more than those of the supply and marketing cooperatives, so he couldn't help but say it at the moment.
"If you buy clothes, you'd better go to a tailor shop to order them, because this size is not right!" Zhou Silkworm was a little embarrassed: "As for other things, it's easy to say, if you have money, you can buy them here, and you don't need to return them." ”
"You also know that I don't have any extra time to spend here, so I can't run to the tailor shop on the black market twice in three days, right?" Liu Xing said with difficulty.
In fact, there is another meaning in this.
That is, in the 80s, almost everyone knew that the tailor shop was doing very well.
If he goes to order clothes now, even under the leadership of Zhou Silkworm, it is estimated that it will take ten days and half a month to get the custom-made clothes, maybe more than that, after all, there were many, many people who lined up to make custom-made clothes before, so subconsciously, Liu Xing didn't want to do it at all.
Rather, I want to buy ready-made.
Yes, just buy it.
No, you might as well buy some cloth and make it yourself at home!
Because before he was reborn, he was very proficient in the type of work of parking space, and there was also a sewing machine at home, and a few ordinary clothes, which were not difficult for him at all.
"Well, you can't always run to the black market because of a few clothes. Zhou Silkworm looked at the time: "Then you come with me and take your sister and niece." ”
"Well," Liu Xing picked up the melon seeds and followed behind Zhou Silkworm with Xiao Budian.
Soon, I walked through the back door of the greenhouse to the door of a bungalow.
The workbench in the bungalow was piled with 'really good' fabrics, as well as some wool, and on the walls on either side, there were also many ready-made clothes.
The colors of these clothes are much brighter than cotton clothes, mostly white, blue, and red.
There are also black and purple ones, but they are very rare.
Seeing that there was no one inside, Zhou Silkworm immediately shouted at the top of her voice: "Aunt Li, where are the people?"
"It's coming, it's coming. A middle-aged woman wearing reading glasses walked out of the back door, she looked at Zhou Silkworm for a moment, and then smiled: "What are you looking for me at this time? My daughter is not at home, she went to buy goods, and she may not come back for a few days." ”
"I'm not looking for your daughter, I'm looking for you to buy clothes. Zhou Cang blushed and pulled Liu Xing in front of him: "You can see if there are any clothes suitable for him in this store, and if so, bring him two sets, money is not a problem."
"By the way, and these two little ones. Zhou Silkworm pointed to the melon seeds and the small ones.
"Hello Auntie!" melon seeds greeted with a wave of their little hand.
Xiao Budian was a little shy, and hurriedly put his head into Liu Xing's arms.
