Chapter 104 A girl asks to meet
Just as I was thinking about it, I received a call from Aunt Qi. Aunt Qi first asked about the recent living conditions of their siblings, and then mentioned the fabrics the siblings gave her last time, "Xiaoman, those pieces of fabrics you gave me before
, I sent it to a master to make a cheongsam. The master saw the fabric and said it was good, and even stuffed it in the front for me to make. The master also asked where she bought the material, and I heard she wanted me to help.
If I buy a few pieces, can you still get that kind of material?"
Lin Xiaoman was overjoyed after hearing this. Isn't this just like using a pillow when you feel sleepy?
But those two pieces of material cost only fifty taels of silver. How much did she want? It was too cheap and the gain outweighed the loss.
"Auntie, she said she didn't say how much a piece of material costs?"
Aunt Qi smiled, "She didn't say that, but she said that she bought a piece of Yun brocade before, which was not as good as the one you got. It cost 8,000 yuan per meter. If you can get it, it's almost the same as mine.
Yes, it shouldn't be a problem if I negotiate with her for 10,000 yuan per meter. As for the piece of hualuo, she didn't say the price. The main reason is that she has never seen such good hualuo. Although the price of hualuo is not as high as that of Yunjin,
It won’t be cheap if you get it.”
"Okay, Auntie asked her how much she wanted, and I'll get it for her."
"Just go ahead and make it. A few more pieces won't be too much for her. She specializes in making cheongsams. The cost of making a cheongsam is thousands of dollars. If the fabrics are good, they won't be sold."
Lin Xiaoman clicked her tongue after hearing this, and wanted to quickly learn to make clothes by herself. With good fabrics and good craftsmanship, isn't this more profitable than selling mountain products?
"Then I'll go back and ask how much more I can get, but I'm afraid it won't be too soon."
Lin Xiaoman figured that there was none in the county, so if he wanted to buy it, he would have to ask shopkeeper Feng to help him get it from Fucheng, which would take some time.
"Well, don't worry, she still has a few cheongsams on hand to make, and she won't be able to finish them in a while."
The next day, Lin Xiaoman took a car and personally delivered the goods to Shopkeeper Feng, and told Shopkeeper Feng that he wanted to buy Hua Luo and Yun Jin.
But it was a simple matter, and Shopkeeper Feng agreed. Lin Xiaoman happened to still have money in his account, and he also had the payment for this batch of goods, which could be used to buy a lot of fabrics.
Saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Feng, Lin Xiaoman went to the cloth shop in the county town. Although there was no good quality fabric here, silk and satin were still sold. Lin Xiaoman wanted to ask if there were any leftover pieces of cloth. She wanted to buy some and go back to practice.
.
I spent 500 Wen and bought two large bags of rags. Some of the larger ones can be used as bellybands, and some can be made into clothes if you put them together, but most of them are small rags. After all, cloth
Zhuang is not stupid either. If he is a little older, he can make a headdress or a handkerchief or a sachet.
But Lin Xiaoman did it to get familiar with the sewing machine and to kill time, so he didn't think the material was too crumbly.
After returning home, when she had free time, she looked for some handmade videos on the Internet to watch. Not to mention, the sewing machine is very convenient to use. It usually takes several days to complete the work, and the sewing machine is ready in just a few clicks.
Lin Erhu exclaimed that it was amazing after seeing it.
So I bought a few more encyclopedias and couldn't extricate myself from the ocean of knowledge.
Lin Xiaoman, apart from telling him not to be blind, let him absorb knowledge like a sponge.
In the next few days, Lin Xiaoman spent most of her time in the warehouse making various small fabric handicrafts. The more she made, the more exquisite and skillful she became. In her own eyes, the silk flowers were much prettier than those sold in the county town.
For this reason, I also bought a lot of perforated pearls online for decoration.
Some of the finished products were sent to Shopkeeper Feng for sale, and some were opened in an online store.
The online store has not had much business, but the response from shopkeeper Feng has been good. The package of beads sent to me was sold out in a few days, and the price was quite high.
In particular, Lin Xiaoman's beaded flowers decorated with small beads are the best and most expensive. Originally, the small beads she used were only a few cents each, and the most expensive ones did not cost more than two yuan. She decorated the silk flowers with a few cents.
A single pill can be sold for anywhere from a hundred to several hundred coins, which is really a huge profit.
Soon, the fabrics that Shopkeeper Tuo Feng bought in Fucheng also came back. In addition to Yunjin and Hualuo, they also brought several popular fabrics, which just happened to spend all the money Lin Xiaoman had at Shopkeeper Feng.
I took these fabrics to show to Aunt Qi. After seeing them, Aunt Qi couldn't put them down and almost didn't want to give them away.
The next day, Lin Xiaoman's mobile phone had a transfer record of 150,000 yuan. Lin Xiaoman smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. The money was enough for her to squander it until the spring plowing was over, and the wild vegetables on the mountain would have come down by then.
She can make a lot of money again.
On February 2, when the dragon raises its head, every household takes out the pig heads left behind by killing pigs before the Chinese New Year, cooks them, and offers them as an offering, then sets them out for the whole family to share.
Some families did not kill pigs last year, but they would buy a piece of pig head meat from other families to take home and finish eating.
Lin Xiaoman went there two days in advance and bought a dozen pig heads and meat spices. On the first day of the new year, he took out all the pig heads and soaked them in the pot.
Early in the morning on the second day of the second lunar month, Lin Xiaoman took the braised pork head and got on a handlebar carriage to go to the county hotpot restaurant.
The pig head braised with spices is full of color and flavor. Although the price is more expensive than what is sold elsewhere, the meat Lin Xiaoman buys from there is not so fat and does not taste so greasy. It is best to eat it in a hot pot restaurant, so it is useless.
They were all sold out in the morning, and some people who arrived late couldn’t buy it because they smelled so good, and they asked when they could get it again.
Lin Xiaoman didn't expect braised pig heads to sell so well, so he left the business alone and promised there would be more tomorrow, so he went to the county government office with the two large pieces of pig head meat left for Lu Jin.
As expected, although the snow has melted, most people are worried about the drought last year and the snow disaster this year. Those who have food at home will not sell it, and those who have no food at home want to stock up more at home.
Some.
The rice and grain shops in the county did not have much grain in stock, and they refused to sell it at this time. They just waited for the price of grain to rise and then sell it at a higher price.
As a result, people in the city and outside the city were in panic, especially those who had no food at home. They had already gone to the county government and asked the county magistrate to find a solution.
What can Lu Jin think of? Without food, he can't conjure it out of thin air. He has been so worried these days that he has two knots at the corner of his mouth.
When he was at a loss what to do, a government official came to report: "Sir, there is a girl outside who wants to see you."
When Lu Jin heard that the girl asked for an audience, Lu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, and her intuition was that it was Lin Xiaoman. However, seeing that most people in the county government recognized Lin Xiaoman, if she came, they would say that it was Miss Lin who asked for an audience.
The eyebrows that had just been raised knitted together again, "What do you want me to see you for?"
The yamen officer shook his head, "That girl refused to say anything. She only said that she would report it to the adults face to face when she saw her."
In his opinion, a beautiful girl who came alone to ask to see their young and handsome magistrate, and who was so mysterious, had nothing to say but that kind of thing.
