Chapter 71

Liu Xinyu quickly grabbed Chen Zhaodi. In order to go into the mountain, Liu Qingsong got up early today, so he should let her rest a little longer.

Besides, the chestnut tree was a little far away from where Liu Qingsong cut firewood, so it would be better to coax Chen Zhaodi to go into the mountain with her and take a closer look.

As long as there is an opportunity to make money, Chen Zhaodi will not let it go, and there is no need for Liu Xinyu to coax her. "Tomorrow, let your second uncle and second aunt deliver public rations. Your father and I will accompany you to the mountains to see if there are really twenty chestnut trees."

, we can make money again.”

Can you really make money? I just don’t know if it’s easy to make money, so don’t just do business secretly and privately.

"The supply and marketing cooperative purchases a batch of chestnuts every year. Good quality chestnuts can be sold for 20 cents per catty, and 40 yuan for 200 catties." Although it is not easy to make money, Chen Zhaodi is still very excited.

Although the purchase price of supply and marketing cooperatives has gone up a bit, it is of course the best thing to be able to do business openly.

Liu Xinyu doesn't want her family to have their tails cut off.

Chen Zhaodi didn't quite understand why Liu Xinyu looked relieved. She thought for a while and said: "But the two cents per pound are chestnuts, not the small ones. The coconut supply and marketing cooperatives for small ones also accept them, but the price is cheaper.

I can only sell it for 15 cents per kilogram. But as long as I can make money, now I even dream of making money!"

Liu Xinyu was so amused by Chen Zhaodi's comments that she laughed so hard that she couldn't stand upright. Chen Zhaodi was so angry that she raised the cattail leaf fan in her hand and gave it to Liu Xinyu.

But what Chen Zhaodi said is right, who wouldn’t be happy to make money?!

According to the rural regulations and folk conventions in this area of ​​Wuxian County, wild animals in the mountains, whether animals or plants, can be hunted and picked up by anyone who sees them. Of course, they cannot cross the boundary. In other words, in principle, members can only produce in their own areas.

The team performs various activities on the mountain.

Those deep mountains with unclear affiliations, of course, rely on individual ability.

Liu Xinyu asked Chen Zhaodi some questions, such as what else the supply and marketing cooperative purchased besides chestnuts and chestnuts.

Liu Xinyu's eyes lit up when she heard that she would also purchase mountain products such as ginkgo and walnuts.

Today she saw a few ginkgo trees, also known as ginkgo trees, on the mountain, but she didn't care whether the trees bore fruit or not.

Walnut Tree didn't care. In fact, it wasn't that she didn't care, but that she didn't know Walnut Tree at all.

"Okay, I have to go to work. If I keep talking, I will be late." Although Liu Xinyu was still satisfied after hearing this, Chen Zhaodi was a person with a strong sense of time. She put down the cattail leaf fan in her hand, stood up, patted her clothes and walked out.

.

Chen Zhaodi was going to continue working in the grain drying field, and Liu Xinyu had to go home quickly. Of course, she had to keep her promise to Zhang Hongyun.

When Liu Xinyu returned home, the Zhang sisters hadn't come yet.

It's no longer appropriate to take a lunch break now. The clothes I changed out of earlier haven't been washed yet, so I'll wash them and hang them up to dry.

As soon as Liu Xinyu hung it up to dry, she saw sisters Zhang Hongyun and Zhang Hongxia, one carrying a bamboo basket and the other carrying a baggage.

Seeing Liu Xinyu, Zhang Hongxia was obviously a little embarrassed and her steps seemed a little hesitant.

Zhang Hongyun gently pulled her, and then followed Zhang Hongyun into the yard of Liu Xinyu's house.

"Sister, please put the basket in the kitchen first." After entering the yard, Zhang Hongyun was not in a hurry to follow Liu Xinyu to the main room. Instead, she stood in the yard and watched Zhang Hongxia point to the kitchen of Liu Xinyu's house.

Liu Xinyu had already walked to the main room, and when she heard Zhang Hongyun's words, she turned around in surprise.

Zhang Hongyun explained with a smile, "In the basket are eggs and rice noodles. By the way, Sister Xinyu, my dad asked me to tell you that the fabrics and firewood will be handled after the team has handed over the public rations."

Only then did Liu Xinyu remember that these were the subsidies agreed upon by the Zhang family and the Liu family.

Since it was delivered, I accepted it and nodded to Zhang Hongyun with a smile.

Zhang Hongxia brought a total of three pieces of fabric.

A piece of plaid cloth with a pink background and fine cotton material. Depending on the size of the fabric, it can be made into a long-sleeved shirt.

A piece of dark military green khaki fabric can be used as a jacket.

There is also a piece of pure black khaki fabric. You don't need to guess to know that it should be made of pants.

After looking at the fabric, Liu Xinyu asked Zhang Hongxia to stand in the middle of the main room. She crossed her chest with one hand and supported her chin with the other. She walked around Zhang Hongxia and looked at Zhang Hongxia up and down carefully over and over again.

Zhang Hongxia was extremely embarrassed, feeling a little awkward, and even a little unsure. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to beat Liu Xinyu to make new clothes for her.

In the past, every year when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Tailor Lin would be invited to the house for tailoring. Tailor Lin would always use a long measuring tape to measure everyone's size. Liu Xinyu had never been like Liu Xinyu who only used his eyes to measure.

Could it be that Liu Xinyu's eyes are more accurate than a ruler?

The more Zhang Hongxia thought about it, the more annoyed she felt. Chen Jialuo had specially gone to the department store in the county to get these pieces of cloth for her. She had to explain to Chen Jialuo if she had done something wrong.

"Sister Hongxia, what kind of effect do you want?" Just when Zhang Hongxia was about to retreat, Liu Xinyu spoke.

Zhang Hongxia hesitated for a moment, swallowed her saliva and said, "Of course...it has to be good-looking."

Liu Xinyu tugged at her lips. If she just wanted good-looking clothes, that would be too simple.

But Liu Xinyu also knows that Zhang Hongxia is an out-and-out country girl who has never seen much of the world. If she really wants to make her own decision, she is afraid that even before she is a fashionista and becomes famous in this era, she will be beaten.

.

Zhang Hongxia has a big frame and a round body.

Fortunately, not all parts of her figure are thick. Her shoulders are relatively broad, her breasts are plump, and her waist is relatively thin. As long as she pays attention to looseness and moderation in her outfits, she can visually enhance her advantages and cover up her disadvantages.

Liu Xinyu plans to wear a waist-cinching design on her shirt and jacket, which will highlight the slim waist, while the upper part will be looser, allowing people to ignore the shoulder problem.

You can also put some effort into the collar, using a low collar to make the shoulder line more prominent and the neck to appear longer. This treatment can visually reduce the presence of broad shoulders.

In fact, Liu Xinyu wanted to make a low and large square collar for Zhang Hongxia, which would visually form a V-shape on the chest, and use the large neckline and V-shaped characteristics to modify the shoulder width effect.

It's a pity that people in this era are too conservative and cannot accept that kind of low and large square collar, let alone the deep v that exposes a piece of flesh on the chest.

Then make an A-version shirt with a low collar and shallow V waist.

Visually, the effect of tightness at the top and width at the bottom is created, so as not to conflict with the current aesthetics, and to weaken Zhang Hongxia's shoulder line to the greatest extent possible, making her look toned but not thick.

With an idea in mind, Liu Xinyu picked up a pen and paper and started drawing. Soon a sketch-like design was displayed in front of Zhang Hongxia.
