Chapter 162: White Moonlight? Sour rice! 30
Mother Li and six sisters-in-law thought that Cao Yuer was a waste of time ordering food, and insisted that she eat the meat buns that "the master and the lady also eat".
Eat it, it's delicious.
Who is Cao Yuer? When she was a child, she was pampered by the lady of the official family who was particular about her food and clothing. When she arrived at Ye's house, she was not polite. She didn't hesitate to order food. What you eat is expensive. The food level is actually a bit better than when you were in Cao's house. This meat bun is right. For her, it was naturally extremely difficult to swallow.
Reluctantly ate half a bun with millet porridge and two side dishes, Cao Yuer signaled that she was full, and Mama Li picked up the half bun that Cao Yuer threw on the plate and looked at it: "God! It's a meat bun with white noodles! How many people are still working hungry on the main street in Jinmen? They can't even eat this bun, and Miss Cao still dislikes it?"
Mama Li was talking and stuffed the half-pulled buns into her mouth: "Master Cao must have quietly left you an estate, right? Otherwise, why would you have the courage to dislike such a good thing? Meal?"
"Then there must be!" Sixth sister-in-law said so eloquently as if she had seen it with her own eyes: "My master and miss have Da Shengchang in their hands, and we still eat this bun, Miss Cao can't eat this bun, That must be because Master Cao has left her much more property than Da Shengchang."
What is the concept of more industries than Dashengchang? After several years of annexation, development and self-strengthening, Dashengchang has more than a dozen factories in ginning, spinning, spinning, printing and dyeing, and weaving. It is the largest factory in Beizhili, the domestic cotton spinning industry. the leader of the leader. In addition to the railway bureau and several large machine foundries that are in the hands of the government, the number of private production enterprises in China that can match the scale of Dashengchang can't run out of five fingers.
The Cao family has been copied for a long time, but where did the "much more than Dashengchang" industry come from? Li's mother and sixth sister-in-law blatantly ridiculed Cao Yuer's words, which made the servants who were busy in the kitchen of the restaurant quack and laugh.
Cao Yuer was so popular with this group that she wanted to vomit blood, but she had no way to deal with it.
She is good at satirizing people in secret, but the servants of the Ye family are illiterate and can't understand her metaphors. If she loses her temper, these vulgar women will not give her to her Save face, you can go directly to her face.
Faced with this group of thorny and difficult servants, Cao Yuer had to endure the old blood in her throat and pretended not to care about the words of these people.
Mother Li swallowed the buns in her mouth, picked up a big bag prepared in the corner and greeted her: "Miss Cao, don't be stunned, hurry up, come and come, I'm already ready."
, all the tools are prepared neatly, there must be nothing missing, go to your room to work."
Mama Li and the sixth sister-in-law dragged and dragged the master and servant of the Cao family back to Cao Yuer's room. Mama Li put the big burden in her hand on the ground, untied it, and pulled it out. A piece of blue twill.
She shook the cloth and wrapped it around herself, raised both arms and rubbed it repeatedly, smashing her mouth: "Tsk tsk tsk, look at this material, it is said to be coarse cloth, but It is so dense, thick and delicate, and such a large piece of cloth spreads flat without even a knot, and the hand-woven cloth is almost incomprehensible compared to this.”
The sixth sister-in-law also leaned over and grabbed the fabric and touched it, and said proudly: "This is the fabric from our big Shengchang! Our lady is really amazing!"
"That's it! What kind of character is our miss?" Li's mother said proudly: "That's a person who can go out with the master to run business at the age of six or seven."
It's not uncommon for people with more noble backgrounds to pay attention to her, and a group of stupid women who don't understand anything will be proud of it, stupid hat!
The sixth sister-in-law had sharp eyes, saw Cao Yuer's acerbic expression, and suddenly became angry: "Miss Cao, I think you are quite proficient in ordinary needlework and embroidery skills. , you have been working on that needlework for several years, why do the clothes for our master and young lady do not fit so well? In my opinion, you still practice less."
"That's right, do you see how well the clothes you made for yourself fit and how much you ironed?" Mama Li stretched out her hand and pulled Cao Yu'er's placket: "Why can you do it well for yourself? What's so bad for our masters and young ladies? In the end, you have been making clothes for yourself without stopping for a few years. The more you do it, the more you will practice it, such as handcrafts such as needle smashing and female red. Qiao Zonger, who has nothing to save her energy other than diligent practice and more work, if Miss Cao wants to make clothes that fit others, she will only need one, and practice more!"
The sixth sister-in-law dragged the cotton cloth that Li's mother wrapped around her body and put it into Cao Yu'er's hands: "It's too expensive to do exercises with good materials, even if our grandfather and young lady are rich, let's You can't abuse things too much, you can try this rough cloth first."
She spoke and stood in front of Cao Yuer: "You measure my size, use this coarse cloth to practice your hand to make clothes for me, when will you be able to make me clothes that fit me? , when will we get that expensive material for our lady to make."
Make clothes for you? A maid wants to wear the needle and thread I made, why is your face so big?
Cao Yuer tightened the ball of fabric in her hand and wanted to throw it on the sixth sister-in-law, but the sixth sister-in-law stared at Cao Yuer's face full of forbearance: "Miss Cao , what's your expression? You don't want to practice, do you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How is it possible." Mama Li looked at Cao Yu'er and smiled: "Miss Cao said in front of our masters and young ladies that it is necessary to hone your craftsmanship and become After that, I can make clothes for the master and miss to repay the two of them. Miss Cao is an official, and what people say will definitely be done. You treat her like you talk like a stinky fart, if it doesn't count, it doesn't count. ?"
Mama Li stared at Cao Yuer happily: "Miss Cao, do you think I am right?"
What can Cao Yuer say? If you say no, then everything you say will become "stinking farts". If you are right, you will have to make clothes for the sixth sister-in-law. In order not to "stinking farts", Cao Yuer pinched her nose and recognized it. No, I picked up the ruler and began to measure the size of the sixth sister-in-law. After measuring the size, I began to cut it.
Don't you like this cloth? I have to spoil it for you. It is really unreasonable. A servant girl also wants to wear clothes made by me. Who will give you face? Cao Yuer clenched her scissors tightly and gritted her teeth secretly, intending to cut the piece of cloth.
As soon as Cao Yuer's abacus was finished, she was messed up by the sixth sister-in-law, who held a piece of powder and handed it to Cao Yuer's nose: "Miss Cao, I tell you You have to practice more. You still don’t believe this evil. Who cuts clothes with scissors? Which one doesn’t think twice about the fabric, choose the cut method that saves the most fabric, and then use the powder to cut it finely. Draw the line and then cut the scissors?"
"Tsk tsk tsk." Li's mother's eyes widened: "Miss Cao, you don't even think about how to cut to save material? As expected of a lady from an official family, It's so cool!"
"Forget it! I think you old guy has become a habit of flattering, so the officials don't have to save money?" Sister-in-law six curled her lips in disdain: "You forgot the Cao family back then What happened to Ma Xiu Niang? Because it was not done well before cutting, the material that their old lady was going to cut into two jackets was a little worse. In the end, only one jacket and one waistcoat could be cut. My God, Mrs. Cao had someone torture her and beat her **** to a pulp!"
"Hey, I know about this, the pitiful appearance of Ma Xiuniang, don't mention it." Mama Li's mouth was almost under the ear, she stretched out her hand and stood by the side without saying a word Zhang Ma: "Your old lady is also quite frugal, so she can tolerate your lady spending so much?"
"Haha, haha." Zhang Ma laughed dryly: "When the old lady was alive, the young lady was young, and she hadn't started learning how to cut clothes!"
"I knew it was you!" Mama Li became angry when she heard what Mama Zhang said. She jumped three feet high and stretched out her index finger to point Mama Zhang's forehead, gritted her teeth and said hatefully. : "Your lady's needlework is all learned from you. In your eyes, our Ye family's stuff is not something, right? You teach your lady to be ruthless?"
The old lady crawled out of the coffin to punish you?"
Mother Zhang was pushed around by these two people and made her dizzy. She found an opportunity to jump on the long case that Cao Yuer used as a workbench and shouted her grievance: "Misunderstanding, you two have misunderstood, Our young lady hasn't used scissors at all, so how can you cut the fabric and ruin things? Of course, you must first carefully measure it, then make a thread, and then carefully follow the thread to cut, right Miss?"
Mother Zhang is Cao Yuer's nursing mother. She has been with Cao Yuer for so many years and plans for Cao Yuer. She is half a relative in Cao Yuer's heart. Yu'er couldn't even turn a blind eye, she had to hold her nose and echo Zhang's mother's words: "Yes, Zhang's mother is right, Aunt Qing taught me that thinking is hard to come by with a porridge and a meal. Difficulty', how can I deliberately spoil things? The two mothers are too worried."
When Cao Yuer said this, Mama Li and her sixth sister-in-law were no longer jumping around. The two of them changed their violent state just now. After letting go of Mama Zhang, they calmly praised Cao Yuer: "I Let's just say that after Miss Cao is an official, people are very careful, and they definitely can't do such a vicious thing as deliberately spoiling things!"
I can go to you!
When Cao Yuer heard this, a mouthful of old blood poured into her throat again, and she had to fight her emotions in the future, and she must not cut a piece of material, otherwise it would become "deliberately ruining things" wicked man"!
After a mess, a few people finally quieted down and started to work. Cao Yuer started work under the four eyes of Li's mother and sixth sister-in-law, and Zhang's mother also failed to I was spared, and was ordered to turn around.
& nbsp;
Mother Li: "Mother Zhang, press the board ruler for Miss Cao, what should I do if the board ruler is displaced and the material is uneven?"
Sixth sister-in-law: "I told Miss Cao that I have been thirsty for a long time, Ma Zhang, go down and bring us a pot of tea."
Mother Li: "When you open the scissors, the fur will fly all over the house, Mama Zhang, hurry up and tidy up the house for your lady."
Mother Zhang: My legs are going to break...
It was finally time for lunch. Cao Yuer, who had been stared at all morning, put down her scissors and let out a sigh of relief. She spent the whole morning thinking and slicing. She has never stopped, but now she only feels sore and sore all over her body. She lives in her room every day and does whatever she wants to do and rests whenever she wants. How could she ever be so tired?
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Li's mother shook her head: "You cut the front and back in the morning, but you couldn't even cut a piece of the sleeves, so you have to hurry up and grind it again. Go on, you don't want to cut a piece of clothes every day."
There's a bonus, fast! Faster to make, faster to eat!"
