Chapter 74 Selling Cloth

"That's it." Mu Xiu thought that there was still a difference in income between the provincial capital and the county town, and the price was fair, so he agreed.

"Little girl, you are so kind-hearted. How many pounds are there in total?" When Sister Hao heard Mu Xiu agree, she breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Xiu's price was a little cheaper than in the black market.

Mu Xiu took out the scale quickly, put the chickens together and weighed them, and then took out the pork, "Auntie, the chicken is 21 pounds in total. I bought the pork in the morning, and it was 10 pounds. This is 46.5 yuan in total. You can calculate it, right?" Mu Xiu quickly calculated it.

"You little girl, counting is so good." Sister Hao lowered her head and calculated for a while. It was indeed 46.5 yuan. She counted the money quickly and handed it to Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu took the money, counted it, put it in close proximity, and prepared to leave.

"Miss, the policy has been introduced. The country said it would help farmers. If you have chicken, duck, pork and eggs in the future, come to me. My old sisters and I are old and have no other hobbies, just like to eat." Sister Hao smiled and then said: "My family lives at No. 101, No. 9 Hutong, Nan Street. Just call me Aunt Hao. On weekdays, your uncle is at home. I will go back and explain to him. If your family still has meat or something, come here. We need a lot of meat."

"Okay, Aunt Hao, just what does this help mean?" Mu Xiu was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Miss, I have something to do now, so I don't have time to explain it in detail. Anyway, I can get the young chicken, duck and pigs from the government for free. You can ask the adults when you go home and ask me. I'll leave first." Aunt Hao was busy with her daughter's marriage, so she roughly said it, then put the chicken and pork into the bamboo basket in her hand and left.

Mu Xiu was full of questions. It seemed that he could only go back and ask the village party secretary and see what new policies had come out.

This time, Mu Xiu entered the city, in addition to selling some things to make money, he also had to make excuses for the things he brought back.

Mu Xiu is preparing to make a new set of clothes for everyone. At this time, everyone's clothes are the same, basically gray and black clothes. The young wives are a little better, wearing dark red or yellow clothes.

In the county and provincial capitals, the streets are full of blue work clothes and green military uniforms. Everyone only loves green clothes but not red clothes. However, as young people open their minds, the clothes gradually begin to change.

Although there are needles and sewing machines in Muxiu's space, she can't use them at the moment, so she can only work hard to sew by hand.

Mu Xiu was picking and choosing in the space, without dark blue or earthy yellow colors. He could only find royal blue and dark yellow cotton silk cloth similar to that of this era. He planned to take it back this time and make a few clothes.

These cotton silk cloths are still different from the current fabrics, but Zhou Shuilian hasn't bought a cloth for a long time, so she just fooled it and then passed.

After Mu Xiu bought the cloth, he was about to go to the tailor shop to see what clothes are popular now. She could ask Zhou Shuilian to make some clothes for Mu Shui and her.

However, it was already lunch time. Mu Xiu casually entered a snack shop and ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles. But as soon as the noodles came up, Mu Xiu lost appetite.

The bowl is filled with fat minced meat, which is as big as mung beans. Whether eating noodles or drinking soup, it is impossible to avoid these fat meat. This makes Mu Xiu, who doesn't like to eat fat, so it's hard to swallow. But looking at the customers around him, they eat one by one, and they drink with relish while holding the bowl.

Mu Xiu had to eat for a few bites, but she was so tired that she couldn't eat it. So she put down her chopsticks and paid the bill. A bowl of shredded pork noodles cost 50 cents. When she walked out the door, she heard someone talking inside.

"This little girl is really a waste. She stopped eating after eating a few bites."

"Oh, the days are much better than our time now, and the kids are starting to waste."

Mu Xiu couldn't help but curl her lips and thought to herself: "If you know how the post-80s and post-90s will waste it in the future, you will probably be dizzy..."

However, wasting is shameful, but Mu Xiu really couldn't afford to eat it. If she could open a snack shop, the business would definitely be very good. But... I can only think about it now.

Mu Xiu put a few white shirts, black pants, and three-foot colored polyester fabric into the backpack, and walked towards the tailor shop that he passed by in the morning.

Thanks to Mu Xiu's usual love for making clothes by herself according to the styles in magazines, she bought a lot of fabrics, especially when she returned to the mountains this time, she even bought a lot of 50 yuan in a certain Taobao wallet with ten kilograms of free shipping.

These fabrics are naturally outdated old fabrics from the manufacturer over the years, so they are so cheap. Although they are old fabrics, the tie-dyeing technology and the cotton thread used are also rare and good materials nowadays.

Mu Xiu originally planned to give these fabrics to the villagers to cut clothes themselves after she went back. After all, no matter how special prices are made for ready-made garments, they are more expensive than fabrics. Her budget is limited and she doesn't buy much ready-made garments. Unexpectedly, these fabrics are now useful.

Mu Xiu walked in and saw that the left side of the wall in the tailor shop was hung with cloth, not many types, just some dark fabrics. On the right side of the wall, there were many ready-made clothes hanging, all of which were often seen and a few fashionable styles.

Common styles are blue work clothes, green military uniforms, and gray cloth tops.

Fashionable styles include white shirts, black suits, dark blue, gray windbreakers, and several woolen coats.

When Mu Xiu entered, he heard the sound of the sewing machine "stepped" inside.

"Sister, I'm busy!" Mu Xiu greeted sweetly.

"Little girl, are you here to make clothes?" The woman who was stepping on the sewing machine raised her head. She was about twenty-eight or nine years old, with her hair tied up on her head, and she looked very gentle. Indeed, doing handicrafts is a careful job and the most harsh person.

"Sister, do you need fabric?" Mu Xiu asked back.

"Take out what kind of fabric, take it out and take a look." The elder sister stood up.

"The flower cloth was given by relatives from afar. No one at home can use it, so I want to bring it out for some money." Mu Xiu took out the polyester flower cloth in the backpack.

The elder sister took the flower cloth, shook it open, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beautiful cloth. I have never seen this color before. It looks so beautiful and smooth to the touch. But, little girl, this cloth looks so beautiful when you make a small flower jacket. It's a pity to sell it."
