Chapter 325 Get the fabric to make work clothes
Shuiqing thinks Shanshui Village is pretty good.
Really, there are mountains, water and good air. The most important thing is that her family has fields, land and forests here. The place is large and it is convenient to build houses, grow vegetables and raise livestock.
Most of the villagers are simple and honest, so when Wang Guifen came to ask her for her opinion on holding a village banquet, she helped to provide suggestions.
The two talked about the specific dishes of the village banquet for a while. Wang Guifen thanked her repeatedly and went back happily.
Shuiqing got up and went to the herbal medicine shop, announcing that work clothes would be made for everyone.
Aunt Wu, Zhao Lan and other older women thought they had heard it wrong and were full of disbelief.
They only worked in the herbal medicine shop for the first year, and it has been less than two months, and Shuiqing made clothes for them?
Four sets of clothes! Still fine cotton and coarse cotton!
You know, the money for a set of coarse cotton clothes can make two sets of linen clothes, and a set of fine cotton clothes can make four sets of linen clothes. Strange, if these four sets are converted into linen, how many sets can be made?
I can't even count them.
Li Tiantian, Xu Ting, Fan Xiang and other young girls were so moved that they didn't know what to do.
That was fine cotton cloth, which they could never ask for!
They thought it was very good to buy a cloth flower, but they didn't expect that Sister Shuiqing would make four sets of cotton clothes for them!
Especially these four sets of cloth were given to them themselves, and the remaining scraps could make several pairs of cloth shoes!
Sister Shuiqing specifically explained that they only had to ensure that they had four sets of clothes, and they could decide how to distribute the rest.
The young girls who couldn't make clothes had already thought about it. Whoever helped to make clothes at home would get the extra cloth, so that they could save time and energy to work hard, and the people who helped to make clothes would not suffer any loss.
Li Dani, Zhou Yu and the other five women were at a loss.
They get paid every month, do they?
But Madam said they were members of the herbal medicine workshop, so they naturally had to get paid.
Those were cotton clothes, Madam said so and she gave them!
"As for the color, I thought that our herbal medicine workshop has a lot of people, big and small, and it's not good to have them all delicate or old and heavy. I thought about making the inner clothes all green, and the winter clothes dark green? The inside is light and the outside is dark, so it looks natural and not dull. Besides, the winter clothes are darker and more resistant to dirt, is that okay?"
The people in the yard just thought that it was okay?
They didn't care about the old and dark colors. It was cotton material, and Shuiqing gave it to them for free, so how could it not work?
"Okay! Any kind is fine, you decide, I'll wear whatever you have!"
"Me too, they're all good materials, what's there to pick!" Sister Shuiqing was too polite, and even asked for their opinions. Who wouldn't be happy with such good materials? Only Sister Shuiqing valued them and asked about their color preferences.
"Madam's matching is better than ours, so we'll obey her in everything." Zhou Yu said respectfully.
As soon as she finished speaking, all the women and girls in Shanshui Village looked at her with their mouths slightly opened.
Oh my God!
They all spoke from their own perspective, but it sounded like they didn't dislike it, and they didn't emphasize the goodness of Shuiqing's sister-in-law;
But Zhou Yu affirmed Shuiqing's vision and expressed her attitude as soon as she spoke. In this comparison, they were like ignorant little kids.
Others stood in awe of Zhou Yu and immediately remembered that they should be able to speak like her next time!
After Shuiqing finished speaking, she told them to get the fabric from the main house yard after work.
She bought the fabric from the shopping mall. All the projects that require money to open in the shopping mall have been opened, and there are no large items that need to be purchased at present. The balance of more than one million yuan has increased even if she has been buying small items for a while. Now she can only use it to buy fabric for a small fraction of a small fraction.
It is really a good deal for her.
The people from the herbal medicine workshop received the cloth and returned home happily.
When the family saw the good cloth they brought back, their eyes widened in shock!
"This, this is too much at once, right?" Wang Guifen asked in disbelief as she looked at the cloth Zhao Lan brought back.
Zhang Hui stroked the fine cotton material again and again, and couldn't help but praise: "This material is so smooth, and the fine cotton feels comfortable to touch."
"Shuiqing said that these four sets are "work clothes", and everyone must have them. Otherwise, if she gets sick in winter and takes sick leave, it will be her loss. The loss of wages is small, but if the preparation of herbal medicine is delayed, it will be a loss, so we must ensure that we wear warm clothes every day.
However, she said that the extra cloth is ours and can be distributed by ourselves. I made a preliminary estimate that we can make seven or eight pairs of cotton uppers, one pair for my father, one pair for my eldest sister-in-law and one pair for my second sister-in-law, and the rest for the children at home. They have small feet, and we can make two pairs for one pair of adults, and almost one pair for each person." Zhao Lan expressed her idea.
The children in the family also wear straw sandals in winter. If they are cold, they can only stuff reed fluff inside. They always complain about cold feet.
Especially last year's unusually cold winter, it was really a torture!
Every time she heard the children complain about cold feet and the feeling of being helpless, she never wanted to experience it again.
Zhang Hui shook her head, and immediately took back her hand that was touching the cloth, and said hurriedly: "Dad and sister-in-law have to make them, and I don't need to. I will save my share for the children, especially Changlin who studies in the academy and needs a pair of cloth shoes."
Wang Guifen looked at the two sisters-in-law who were so considerate that they not only calculated her share, but also considered Changlin, and she felt a sour nose.
She took a breath and said: "Have you forgotten who makes clothes and shoes at home? I make them all, so of course I have to distribute them.
Dad is old, so his share cannot be saved. Lanlan works in the herbal medicine shop. You also said that Shuiqing gave you cotton to keep you warm and not get sick, so your share cannot be saved! The remaining cloth is almost enough for the children.
Don't worry, listen to me, we also have it. The linen cloth that Lanlan used to make winter clothes is not long now, so it is just right to use it to make a pair of cloth shoes for the three people in the head of the family and Huihui and me. There are still some left! The remaining will be made into a pair for each of the children. A pair of cotton cloth and a pair of linen cloth shoes are enough for them to wear in winter without freezing their feet.
What do you think, is this arrangement of sister-in-law particularly suitable? "
Wang Guifen looked proud, and Zhao Lan and Zhang Hui praised her together: "Sister-in-law is still amazing, the arrangement is clear!"
They only thought that the three big men in the head of the family had big feet and shoes, and they couldn't save the children, so they could only save theirs.
Unexpectedly, after the sister-in-law's arrangement, everyone in the family immediately had one! And it was more suitable.
"We listen to sister-in-law! "
Wang Guifen's wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more obvious as she smiled. After talking about shoes, she talked about the village banquet. "Dad means that the village will hold one on the day when the book house officially opens.
I asked Shuiqing, and she thought this was very meaningful. She said it represented that we value literacy and arithmetic. If adults value it, children will also value it and take it seriously. "
