Chapter 183 184 Treating guests to dinner

I have heard that the cloth made of lotus silk is made by hand, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It takes about 100,000 lotus stems to draw one piece of clothing.

The production technology is exquisite, the process is complicated and meticulous, it is very rare, and it is also very expensive.

This half a piece of material could be exchanged for half a yard in the imperial capital.

Wang Xinfeng didn't understand the material, but it felt comfortable to the touch. Looking at Yuzhi's surprised expression, he was so amused that he didn't say a word.

Yuzhi pushed the material back: "This material is too expensive, we can't have it. I help you make clothes. Not only did you take the money, but you also attracted many customers for us. If you really think about it, it's our turn to thank you."

yes."

"However, we accept your kindness and are very grateful. However, we cannot accept anything."

Wang Xinfeng was curious, just a piece of cloth, is it really that expensive?

Mrs. Chu also doesn’t understand. No matter how expensive a piece of cloth is, can it be more valuable than gold?

It's really more valuable than gold.

Mrs. Chu said: "My eldest niece, it's just a piece of cloth. As long as you don't dislike it, just accept it. We will have many things to trouble you in the future."

"This time our granddaughters are coming over, and I want you to help with a few more outfits. These two children have to study even during the winter and summer vacations, so it's not easy to come here."

She is pure and calm, sincere and gentle, and has a peaceful aura about her that makes people feel very comfortable.

"We can't ask for such expensive materials, otherwise what will happen to us? Besides, my old man is still working. How can he fool around if people know that I, a family member, have such a thick skin?"

Guan Yueping is gentle and gentle, and speaks slowly and calmly, which is very comfortable to listen to.

Yuzhi also smiled and said: "Well, let's do it. The material is not small. I will make a dress for each of your sisters, grandma and mother. It's just summer and will be comfortable to wear."

Yuzhi said helplessly: "Aunt Chu, we are happy from the bottom of our hearts that you like the clothes we make. But the value of this thing is immeasurable. It is expensive because of its exquisite craftsmanship, its output is rare, and it is priceless in the market. I really can't

receive."

"But you are the one who understands it. Only in your hands can it display its due value and reflect the meaning of its existence, right?"

The people in Lao Sang's family are all kind-hearted.

"The cloth here is almost as much as the price of my house. Tell me, it's so expensive, how can I be embarrassed to accept it?"

"Calculate how much effort and cost it takes just for those lotus stems? These are all money, and the time and craftsmanship spent all count. Isn't it very expensive?"

But the Guan family, their ancestors, and their grandchildren would never agree.

It was originally here to give gifts, but if the gifts were not sent out, it would be fine if I still got a few clothes in vain.

It's just that this girl has a thin face and blushed shyly.

Guan Yueping's face turned redder.

"Okay, you two sisters are very lucky. Grandma Wang and Aunt Yu are very good at your craftsmanship."

Guan Yueping believed her grandmother's words. This Aunt Yu was indeed a knowledgeable, broad-minded and generous person.

Yuzhi had made up his mind not to accept it. Wang Xinfeng knew the value, so naturally he couldn't nod his head and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, our two families are friends, and the money for making clothes will be collected without any loss."

Mrs. Chu and her husband were not good at cooking, so their granddaughter rarely came over. They were reluctant to offend her and planned to go to a state-owned hotel in the evening.

The three members of the Guan family did not stay here long. The two sisters had just arrived and had to go back to wash themselves after a long journey.

The two old ladies looked at each other and smiled silently.

Yuzhi smiled and nodded: "Of course it is true. There are very few people who know how to do this craft. It is extremely time-consuming and patient. Just this little cloth requires at least dozens of tons of lotus stems, and the silk is extracted one by one manually.

It takes at least four months to spin it into thread and weave it into cloth."

"It's not a big favor. You like the clothes we make and want to give you something to express your feelings. We understand. Just give us some fruits and vegetables. Let's all have a good time together."

Wang Xinfeng laughed: "This girl can talk."

If you calculate it this way, the old lady thinks it is worth it.

This Grandma Wang was not short-sighted. Even though she knew the value of the fabric, she was not greedy, she was just shocked.

Yuzhi's pretty face was a little red because she had no reputation.

However, it's okay to treat guests to Lao Sang's family. We are so familiar with each other that we don't care about these trivial matters.

"I'd like to express my special thanks to you for coming here this time. I stopped by to see our old couple. You can't offend the children."

Seeing that both parties were so insistent, Mrs. Chu thought of a compromise: "Let's do it this way. Each of us will have half and our half. The eldest niece and eldest sister will have to work hard to make clothes for our two granddaughters. How about the rest of the arrangements?

Sample?"

Chu Zhenying smiled and said: "Don't praise this girl in front of her face, she is very thin-skinned."

Wang Xinfeng doesn't make the decision, it's up to Yuzhi to decide.

"Aunt Yu, good things only have value if they are placed in the hands of people who understand them. If this material is put in our hands, it is just an ordinary piece of cloth. We cannot go out wearing it or sleep with it. If it is in our hands

It's meaningless."

Just planting lotus roots and cutting the lotus stems is a big project.

After they left, Wang Xinfeng showed shock and disgust: "Can this thing really be our house?"

"The material is plain. Just design some simple styles. It's quick to make. I definitely can't accept it. It's too expensive."

Yuzhi nodded, it’s not just expensive.

Yuzhi thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, we have taken a big advantage. Thank you Yue Ping Yue Ting. Please help me say thank you to your mother when you go back. I like this gift very much."

Wang Xinfeng was not modest at all: "That's because my Zhizhi's craftsmanship is something few can match. Come over early in the evening and I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

Wang Xinfeng imagined it for a moment, but she couldn't imagine how wide the pond would be to accommodate dozens of tons of lotus stalks.

"A sword is given to a hero. It's a good material, but it doesn't need a good designer? Accept it with peace of mind. You are its best destination."

"Since this material has been delivered and you don't know how to make clothes, just do as my Zhizhi said and make a dress for each of you. The remaining scraps will be treated as labor expenses and we will keep them."

Old Mrs. Chu agreed, and the Guan sisters naturally would not refuse: "Thank you, Grandma Wang and Aunt Yu, we will come on time in the evening."

Wang Xinfeng made the decision and the matter was settled.

Two old ladies exclaimed: "Is it really so expensive?"

"You just arrived today, so you can have dinner at my house tonight. My aunt and the professor will be together to take care of the two little girls."

"Then you can keep the rest of the cloth yourself and make it into a skirt or pants. You can wear it yourself. This thing is comfortable to touch and must be comfortable to wear."

All good things should be left to the daughter-in-law, this is the old lady's purpose.

Yuzhi smiled and agreed, but in his mind he was planning to make a vest for each of the two children and one for Lan Tianqin.

The child was so independent that it made people feel distressed. He just happened to invite him to have dinner with him in the evening and call him later.
