Chapter 92: Chapter 92

Chapter 92 92 Do what you can

Chen Shan felt right after hearing his wife's words, "Go and find your mother to get the title."

The five members of the family worked quickly and loaded a cart of corn. "Master, please bring our two children with you."

Chen Shan nodded, saying that it would be inconvenient for the girl to sell food to him, and it would be inconvenient to take the child with her.

"Brother, it's okay, I'll just take the two of them."

Once you know how many pounds it is, just put it away and pay them later.

I wanted to go to the town to buy cotton and cloth. I also wanted to go to the grain store to ask about the price, because I was afraid that I would be short-changed, because I really didn’t want to be angry for the small amount of money.

It only took an hour to drive to the town. The grain had been collected halfway. She went directly to the grain store, inquired about the purchase price, and bought some large yellow rice. She still did not have this kind of grain.

Chen Miao thought that if she wanted to buy cotton, she should go to Cloth Village. The donkey cart was parked outside and she went in after tying it up. She was a little anxious because she was afraid that the donkey cart would be lost.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell cotton?"

The shopkeeper looked at the woman who came in and felt that she wouldn't buy too much, her attitude was average, and the price she quoted was not low.

"Yes. Sister-in-law, I'll start making cotton-padded clothes from tomorrow. I'll give you three cents a day. Your needlework is very good. Come over and work."

Chen Miao felt even more moved. She was still thinking about how to get out. After all, were there so many supplies in the car that she was really worried about being detained?

"Well, three cents a day is not much."

Yang Yuemei hummed and left.

The two people discussed the price, "Shopkeeper, I want more. These 100 kilograms of cotton can probably make forty cotton clothes. I want to match them with corresponding cloth."

"No, let's put it away. Business is business. The shopkeeper is very good."

Qiangzi hummed and ran away.

This time Chen Miao spent 76 yuan here. The shopkeeper also gave him a piece of silk and satin. In fact, his cloth shop did not have many such fabrics. There were not many rich people in the town, and his cloth shop was not big.

.

No one asked for the other's name, which was also a protective mentality.

Chen Shan helped move the cloth inside. "You bought so much?"

There are not many people who can do much, so the big brother still wants to help the girl and just work, so there is no problem.

"Okay, I'll come over in five days." Chen Miao said, taking out five yuan and handing it over, "Here's the deposit."

"Shopkeeper, will this cloth shrink?"

"Girl, if you reduce the cost by three cents per kilogram of cotton, you can give me twenty cents per foot of cloth."

After driving the car into the yard, Chen Shan and his wife arrived before unloading the car. They also heard that Chen Miao came back and brought a lot of things.

"Thank you, I still need it. The shopkeeper can prepare it in a few days."

"Buy more? How much do you want to buy?" In winter, the best seller is cotton. Although everyone comes to buy a little, there are many people buying it.

Chen Miao looked at the shopkeeper and felt a little touched. In fact, everyone is patriotic. He is a transparent person. He just told how much he wanted, and others probably guessed the use.

"Qiangzi, go to my eldest brother's house and ask him to come over."

The donkey cart left the town, and the shopkeeper got off. "Girl, be careful."

"Brother, if I give money to outsiders, I won't miss out on my family members. Let my sister-in-law come over tomorrow."

"No need." The shopkeeper shook his head.

When I entered the yard, I looked at the cloth bag on the car that should be cotton. "Third girl, what are you doing?"

"One hundred catties? Do you know how much one hundred catties is?"

"If it's not enough, make as much as you can." They were all placed on the kang in the west room. It was really a lot.

Chen Miao bought needlework and thread, so it saves her money to buy them together.

It was quite safe along the way and I didn't meet many people. I was about to enter the village and released all the cotton and cloth. The villagers knew that it was okay and asked them to come over and help make cotton clothes.

"What about the cotton? I want the strongest one. Please bring it to me."

"Give me back the money?" Yang Yuemei was so excited. Three pennies was not much, but they had no place to make money. Besides, they still made cotton-padded clothes for the team. Even if they didn't pay, they still had to help with the work.

"Thank you boss, please give me your answer. As much as you want."

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy more. Can it be cheaper?"

It’s too chaotic to come to my own house, but I can’t do this. I don’t want to test my character, so I still work at home. The two houses are pretty fast. If you really can’t let it go, I’ll ask Shen Wufu later and arrange a group of people at his house. .

The two children were also let out. They wore plenty of clothes and were not afraid of the cold. The third daughter also wore masks, hats and gloves, which was really good.

The children in the village chased the donkey cart, and some of them were sensible. "Third aunt, how did you bring back so much cloth?"

"My family doesn't need to pay me."

"Make cotton-padded clothes for the team. Your corn bought three yuan and sixty-three Wen." After saying that, she took out the money and handed it to her elder brother.

Is this a member of the team? Although he is a small businessman, he also has patriotic thoughts.

The shopkeeper felt at ease and asked the waiter to prepare.

The shopkeeper brought over a piece of cloth and said, "Look, this is the latest technology, a new technology from foreign countries. You can pull it and see for yourself."

"Boss, please give me a real price. If it's suitable, buy more."

"It has shrunk a bit, but it is much less than our homespun cloth. I have a piece of cloth here, you can try it."

"Making cotton-padded clothes." Chen Miao patiently answered the child's question.

The shopkeeper looked at the tightly wrapped Chen Miao carefully and said the price. If he really wanted it, he could buy it himself. He could make a lot of money this year.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper."

"A hundred pounds is fine."

After about a quarter of an hour of walking out, Chen Miao put away all the cotton and cloth. She was afraid of encountering something along the way, but she didn't want any accidents to happen.

The shopkeeper had been working in a cloth shop for his whole life. When he heard that two and a half kilograms of cotton-padded clothes were made, he knew that they were making clothes for adult men, and he had a suspicion in his mind.

Chen Shan didn't answer. "You go back and get thirty-seven copper coins. This year, you can give the three girls three yuan and one hundred copper coins, and next year you can pay them back with two yuan and two hundred copper coins."

She really doesn't understand cloth, but there's nothing wrong with asking for it to be strong.

Yang Yuemei came in and happened to hear these words. She put thirty-seven cents on the kang and said, "Three girls, you count."

"Girl, I'll drive you out."

"Five days."

"Ming asked your sister-in-law and Xiaoyan to come over and make cotton-padded clothes with you."

Chen Miao was not polite. He washed the cloth with water, wrung it out and compared it, and found that it shrunk very little.

"Well, think about who has good craftsmanship and call a few people over. You have to hurry up. It's getting colder day by day. Hurry up and make it and send it over."

"Okay, I get it." This is a good thing to gain popularity. Which family's woman doesn't know how to do needlework? It's okay to stay here now.

"Third girl, where is the lining of the cotton-padded coat?"

"The lining is just ordinary cotton cloth. I bought it at the market. Sister-in-law, should I wash the cloth to avoid shrinkage?"
