Since it was not expensive, Wen Yu was naturally willing to let Wen Wen dress better. There were only two girls in the family. Although Wen Wan was not important, who would let Wen Wan make such a fuss?
Wear linen, let Wen Wan wear coarse cloth, and it’s not good even if Grandpa Wen sees it. Although Grandpa Wen doesn’t love them, he is still their grandfather. By then, he will feel uncomfortable, it’s just a little cloth.
, there is no need to make it so obvious.
Besides, the price difference between coarse cloth and linen is not very big, so Wen Yu said: "Shopkeeper, please cut two pieces of cloth for my sister to make clothes based on this red color. The cloth should be slightly larger. Let's
Make winter clothes.”
After saying that, Wen Yu made two more gestures according to her own stature and cut two pieces of yellow coarse cloth for Wen Wan. Naturally, the grandfather and brothers in the family wanted the coarse cloth.
There were two clothes for each person. Even if the fabric was cheap, they still wanted a lot. But thinking about making winter clothes, the shopkeeper asked: "Do I also want some cotton?"
"Yes, the shopkeeper, please estimate how much cotton is needed based on the number of pieces of clothing. Now that you have bought it, you can buy it all at once."
There are cheap fabrics, and naturally there are also cheap cottons, but there is no need to ask about this. You will never buy cheap fabrics and stuff them with good cotton after making clothes.
The shopkeeper measured the size of the cloth and calculated the kilograms of cotton, then used the abacus, and finally said: "There are 8 taels, 021 cents in total. These 21 cents will not be counted with you. You have to make shoes after making clothes."
Well, I will give you some small pieces of cloth, which are most suitable for making shoes."
Although 21 cents is not a lot of money, the shopkeeper's hands were still very loose when he ordered people to cut the cloth. Basically, he gave a little more for each piece of cloth. The extra money is not counted as money, and these
The extra fabric can be sewn inside the clothes first, and then the stitches can be removed and put down directly after the person grows taller, so that the clothes will not be too short. In short, a piece of clothing can be worn for many years.
In addition, the shopkeeper sent me a lot of fabric for making shoes, so I can make more than 20 pairs of shoes at least.
Wen Xin smiled and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
After Wen Xin finished speaking, she took out the money from her purse and handed it to Wen Yu first, who then put it on the shopkeeper's counter.
Maybe they were a little surprised that someone was paying. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then didn't say anything. After counting the money, he handed the packaged fabrics and cotton to them and left.
"Second brother, since we want Aunt Wang to help make clothes, why don't we buy some cakes to give to others?" Regardless of whether Aunt Wang takes the money or not, she still wants to be polite, but when it comes to clothes, Wen Wen asked again.
He said: "Second brother, what about the winter clothes we are making now? Why don't we make another one?"
Wen Yu replied: "We are still growing taller. If we make it this year, we won't be able to wear it next year. We might as well do it next year. Everyone can barely change it this year. And if we don't make the money, the old clothes at home will still be there."
I’ve worn it for many years.”
When I think about it, I feel it's okay.
"That's right. Besides, our life is too dirty now. New clothes will wear out after only a few wears. Why don't we wear new clothes next year after we think about other things to make a living."
Wen Yu didn't grow up that long, but if she keeps making bowl cakes, there is really no need to wear these new clothes. "Xin'er, there is a pastry seller in front, so go there."
"good."
The two came to the pastry counter, but the pastries in front of her made her have no appetite at all. Almost all the pastries were white and white, and even if there were colors on them, they were just for decoration, and these
The red and green colors dotted on it are like the pigments of later generations, but there were no pigments in ancient times, so how were these colors added?
No matter how the color was added, the pastry didn't look delicious anyway, and it probably didn't taste very good. Suddenly Wen Wen understood why the things she made were selling well. People in ancient times didn't even know that
My son has never eaten anything good, but some new things are coming in droves, and the pastries she makes taste really good.
But even though she didn't look good, there were still many people lining up in front of the pastry stall. When they finally arrived, Wen Xin asked, "Sister, how do you sell this pastry?"
The eldest sister in front of her glanced at her and said: "Two pieces of pastry for 1 penny, a piece of cake for 3 penny. If you get one piece, you get another piece, which is 7 yuan."
Wen Wen looked at the size of the pastry. Three cents and seven yuan was quite cheap, so she said, "Sister, please give me one."
"Okay."
The eldest sister quickly took out the packaging paper and packed 7 pieces of pastry for her, then tied it with a string and handed it to them.
Just as the two were about to go back, Wen Yu saw a small stall selling headbands when passing by. He quickly called to Wenxin and said, "Xin'er, Xin'er, why not buy two pairs of headbands."
For a moment, Wen Wen really didn't remember what she wanted to buy a hairband for, so she immediately asked: "Second brother, why do you want to buy a hairband? Which girl do you want to give it to?"
Wen Yu smiled helplessly: "I bought these for you. Xin'er has grown so big that she hasn't used new headbands yet. This pair of red ones and the pair of pink headbands are both suitable for Xin'er, so buy two pairs."
The headbands of ancient times did not have as many designs as those of later generations, but they were handmade and looked very delicate. If the price was not expensive, the warmth would be quite desirable. She quickly asked: "Miss, how can I sell this?"
The person selling hairbands is a young girl, who seems to be younger than Wenwan, so it is appropriate for Wenwen to call her "Miss" directly, but this time, "Miss" made the girl selling hairbands famous.
Face, "Well, um...one penny for a pair."
The price is really not expensive, "Then I want a pair, I want this bright red pair." It felt very festive to wear it, and it matched her new clothes very well.
Wen Yu hurriedly said: "Two pairs, this pink Xin'er looks good wearing it, I think I'll take both."
Wen Xin thought for a while, that's okay, it's only two cents anyway, "That's okay, I want both pairs."
After saying this, Wen Xin took out two pennies from her arms, handed the money to the young lady opposite, and took the hair tie she just picked out in her hand.
But when it came to the headbands, Wenxin suddenly wanted to say something. She had been aware of this before, but had never been embarrassed to ask. Now was an opportunity. As soon as the two left the counter selling headbands, Wenxin asked in a low voice.
Said: "Second brother, Xin'er's hair is dirty. This new headband will definitely not look good on her. Xin'er wants to wash her hair before wearing it. How often should we wash our hair?"
She told the truth that although their family washes their hair every day, when it comes to hair, she has been here for half a month and has never washed it once.
