Chapter 104: Finding a village embroiderer to make clothes
Luo Meihua thought about it and nodded, "Yes, if you can't do it, let Aunt Niu do it. She has been an embroiderer for a wealthy family in the town since she was a child. Her designs are better than ours, her stitches are better than ours, and her hands are faster."
"I feel relieved when you say that. Is she busy over there?" Gu Qingqing asked again.
Luo Meihua thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be busy. I haven't heard of any weddings in the nearby villages. If you come across wedding clothes, you'll have to wait."
Gu Qingqing was surprised. "She also made wedding dresses? Didn't she say that brides sew their own clothes?"
"Some girls would start with the needle, and then ask the embroiderer to do it, and then add two stitches at the end. It's all because of the beautiful patterns. The clothes made by her are not worse than those in town, and the price is cheaper."
After understanding the situation, Gu Qingqing did not waste any time. After leaving Luo Meihua's house, she hurried home to ask Dahua to take the cloth that she had cut last time. She held Sanhua and took the two sisters out.
Dahei was forced to stay at home by her.
Erhua ran in front and asked, "Mom, what are we going to do?"
"Let's go find someone to make new clothes for you."
Gu Qingqing brought her child to Niu Song's house. After finding Aunt Niu and explaining her purpose, the other party was naturally happy.
I asked about the price and found out that the labor cost for a piece of children's clothing is 15 wen and for an adult's is 30 wen.
This is a regular style. If the style is complicated, the price will be different.
Even if it was an ordinary style, Gu Qingqing asked her to make it according to the height of the big and two flowers. In the end, she gave her thirty cents and also agreed with her that she would bring new cloth the next day or the day after tomorrow to make a cotton-padded coat.
After the deal was settled, Gu Qingqing took the flowers home.
When she got home, the sun had already started to set. She didn't know when Wen Wuyan would come back. Today she had freshly steamed buns and only some porridge in the pot.
On the day she bought the water, she only ate the pig's stomach. She never had time to eat the remaining three pig hearts and two pig lungs, so she pickled them with salt.
However, because not much salt was applied and it couldn't be kept for too long, she planned to cook it all today. The pig hearts were not big, so she made them all into cold-mixed pig hearts.
The pig lungs just need to be stir-fried when Wen Wuyan comes back.
It was not until dark that Wen Wuyan came back leaning on a bamboo pole.
"Dad, you're back."
"father."
Dahua and Erhua hurriedly went to greet the figure when they saw him.
Gu Qingqing took the opportunity to go to the kitchen to fry the pig lungs, and Wen Wuyan, who had just returned, also followed her to the kitchen.
"Qingqing, I'm back."
In the atmosphere of fireworks, Gu Qingqing turned around and asked, "How was your visit today? Did you buy anything?"
"Well, they happened to have some, so I ordered 40,000 yuan and paid eight taels of silver. They also signed a receipt. They said they would deliver the bricks in ten days."
"Ten days from now?"
"Well, the other party said that they are almost there, and they will be able to get it out in the next few days. It just so happens that we also need to prepare in the next few days. I will write a letter to Old Yang in two days to ask what they think." Wen Wuyan said.
"Well, the kiln factory is far away from us? Why did it take so long to go back and forth?" Gu Qingqing asked.
"It's not far, we should have been able to come back earlier, but we were unlucky when we went there, and the manager had just left. Although there were people downstairs to help introduce us, the deposit still had to go through the manager, so we waited there for some time."
"Okay, you take care of the arrangements. Go wash your hands. We'll have dinner soon."
While other families in the village were eating coarse grain steamed buns, wild vegetable porridge, and pickled vegetables, Wen Wuyan's family almost constantly ate various kinds of meat.
From the wild boars at the beginning to the pig offal these days, they can say that they are happy eating every day.
While eating, Gu Qingqing reminded him, "You can gather people in the village tomorrow."
"There's no rush. It's the slack season now. Few people grow winter wheat here, and everyone is idle at home, so it's easy to find someone." Wen Wuyan said.
This was beyond Gu Qingqing's ability, so she did not interfere too much and let Wen Wuyan handle it.
After a few days, it was time for her to go to town to sell pig intestines.
This time she brought Erhua with her again. Before Gu Qingqing arrived, she saw that a large group of people had gathered at her stall.
She has been leisurely at home these days, but it has been hard for the customers who ate the pork offal she made last time.
Let’s not talk about others, just talk about the woman last time who spent sixteen cents to buy a bowl of the best soup. After she returned home, she received a lot of complaints from the head of the family.
She said she spent sixteen cents to buy a bowl of pig offal, which was so dirty, smelly and fishy.
The son pretended to say that they would eat whatever his mother bought, but when it came to eating, he hardly moved his chopsticks.
In the end, the three men saw her eating happily with her two sisters-in-law, so they reluctantly took a piece of food with their chopsticks. Then they stared with their eyes wide open, and from then on, the three men kept pointing their chopsticks at the pig offal.
After eating one portion, he asked the woman to buy another one the next day.
This thing is not very expensive, and the key is that it tastes delicious. Their family runs a small business, so they can afford it.
But don’t tell me: Want to eat? Wait until the next market!
So today at the market, the woman was assigned to come early in the morning, but this time she didn't bring a bowl, she directly brought a small basin.
There was also the old man who bought her braised pork at the beginning. He also ate her pig intestines last time. He could still dream about the taste at night.
There was also a servant from the Shen Mansion in the crowd. The servant was sent by Steward Shen. Last time, Gu Qingqing gave him a small jar. After he sent Gu Qingqing away, he met Wu Yi and Shi Lei when he entered the yard. Steward Shen didn't think much about it and invited him to come over and try it. As a result, the two of them were hooked.
After finishing one piece, I look forward to the next one, and most of the jar is gone in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yi got the upper hand and smacked his lips. “It’s delicious, but it’s not very filling.”
Manager Shen looked at the bowl that was as big as his face. Now there was only the bottom of the bowl left. Wasn’t this enough to eat?
So he knew that Gu Qingqing would come to the town today, so he assigned his servant to guard it early in the morning.
With all these people present, Jiang Qingyan was naturally indispensable. He was well prepared today, with a large white porcelain Haikou bowl, jumping up and down to direct the queue.
"Everyone line up, so when people come, we follow the formation. They come with their children, don't let them be scared by so many of us."
Even the lady owner of the noodle stall was helping out with a smile on her face. In fact, many people had come to her to inquire about the situation in the past few days, and her business had improved a lot as a result.
However, those who arrived early are eager to queue up, hoping to get their turn no matter what, but those who arrived late do not think so and keep trying to squeeze forward, otherwise what will they do if they cannot buy the item?
Just then, someone shouted, "Here they come."
The team, which had been maintained almost in order by Jiang Qingyan, immediately became disrupted as everyone stretched their necks to look.
