The middle-aged man nodded, "It's okay, but it will take a lot of time. I'll go back and get the knife. This is not something that can be split with ordinary knives."

Chen Miao put all the things she bought from the grocery store into the basket.Wait for the man to come.At a glance, it can be seen that his knife is actually made by himself, and the material is a hacksaw blade.This thing should be imported from abroad.

"Uncle, why don't you sell me this knife? I don't have such a fast knife at home. If I want to cut shoe soles, I will use it." Seeing that the knife is really fast, it should have a steel mouth.

"Give me ten pennies. This hacksaw blade is foreign, although it is expensive. It's not mainly because it takes too much time to sharpen it. I also made the handle of the knife."

"All right, uncle, you are so skillful. If you still have the soles, you can keep them for me, and I'll take another one."

"There's still one at home. Why don't you finish talking, girl? I have to go home and get it."

"Uncle, it's not that I'm afraid I won't be able to cut it. Uncle is kind and helpful. Of course I want to ask for it again."

Chen Miao watched as the conveyor belt was quickly split from the middle, "Look, put the side where the thread is buried inside. Draw it like a shoe and use a knife to separate it. If you are not sure, just cut it off like this. Go back and fix it slowly."

Chen Miao nodded. This person is really careful. He did cut out the rectangle along the outline of the sole at first, which is much safer.

After waiting for a while, the second piece was also split open, and Chen Miao gave the money and left.

The children are a little bored in the space, so hurry up and go to the cloth shop, buy some if you can, if the situation is not good, go to see the cloth head, if you can make more cotton shoes.

On the way, I put away the things I bought and entered the cloth shop. There were quite a few people inside.

There were so many people in the county town, and the second child didn't have time to talk to her, so she touched the cloth on the counter by herself.

She only asks for quality, and the cloth bought in the town is also available here.

Xiaoer saw off the guests and stood beside Chen Miao, "Sister, do you want this cloth? You really have a good eye. This kind of cloth is the strongest in our cloth shop."

Chen Miao nodded, and the little girl kept talking, the price must be higher than that of the cloth shop in the town.

"Second brother, I want to buy a few more horses, can it be cheaper?"

"How much do you want? It's cheaper to buy in pieces. It's not too much. These are all from foreign textile factories."

"I'll buy ten horses."

"Do you really want ten horses?"

"Well, when I came to the county, the aunts and aunts in the village asked me to bring back the cloth. I felt that the cloth was really good and strong enough. All aunts and aunts should be rare."

After hearing the price, Chen Miao was still expensive, and she had a troubled expression on her face.

"Sister, let me tell you that this is the lowest price."

Chen Miao still looked at Xiao Er in embarrassment, "Brother Xiao Er, the price is really high, otherwise, there are two bags of cloth heads, can you give them to me? I still need to buy cotton."

Xiao Er nodded, "Okay, I'll make the decision. I'll give you two bags of cloth heads."

"Okay, how much is a catty of cotton?"

Chen Miao heard that the whole price of cotton was also high, but not by much. "Second brother, I want a hundred catties of cotton, what price do you think?"

"Sister, let me tell you that the price of cotton really can't be reduced. If you want a hundred catties, I'll give you two bags of cloth heads. I'll tell you that the cloth heads inside are enough for shoe uppers. The big ones are fine. Can make clothes for children."

Chen Miao was still in a dilemma, "Second brother, or else you can give me the change."

The little second started to think about it, "Okay, I wiped 23 Wen for you, and I gave you four bags of cloth. Girl, let me tell you that I just look at your face, otherwise I would never give you this price."

"Thank you, little brother, can you send me the cable?"

"I'll give you ten strands of black thread, which look good with this blue cloth."

"Thank you, little brother, you are really a good person."

The young man smirked, and gave two extra strands when preparing the thread.

"Sister, I'll drive you out of the city."

He is really an enthusiastic person, Chen Miao nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you little brother, my dad will pick you up in two hours! Me, you can just send it to the forest near the county town."

"Okay." The one who sent it out of the county town was detained at the door, and it happened that my cousin was on duty today, so it was no problem to leave the city.

After half an hour, Chen Miao unloaded all the things, "Thank you, little brother, hurry back and get busy, my father will pick me up later."

"Be careful, if someone makes things difficult for you, just say it's from Xiaojiabuzhuang."

Chen Miao thanked him, put away all his things when he was no longer in sight, turned around and ran away.

After a while, I found a remote place and entered the space. When the two children saw their mother, they hugged their thighs.

Niangsan came out after eating, and went home with the two brothers on her back.It was only when they were about to enter the village that the donkey cart was released.

When they got home, Chen Dou helped to move things inside, "Third sister, you bought so much cotton and cloth again?"

"Yeah, I also gave away four bags of cloth for nothing, and today we will start cutting paper."

"Didn't you send out the cotton coat?"

"No, wait for Comrade Li to come and pick it up."

It is faster to make cotton padded clothes today, that is to say, there are still [-] coats left to be made.

"Xiaofeng's, do you still buy it? How much does it cost?" Shen Wufu's family's face was full of distress.

"Fifth Aunt, there are too many things missing."

The women working in the house sighed, yes, there are too many shortages.

The two children played with Chen Dou, and Chen Miao lit the fire.

The four women went back after dark, and they will continue to do it tomorrow. Although they are paid, they are all acquaintances, and they also feel sorry for the money Chen Miao spent. This is not a small number.

Shen Wufu's daughter-in-law also took away a lot of cloth strips, and kept all the larger pieces, knowing that she had to paste paper to make cotton shoes.

She eats ready-made at home.Speaking of which, Chen Miao bought a lot of cotton and cloth.

"You can do it for me. For the wages given by Chen Miao, we will also make a cotton coat and send it over." Shen Wufu said.

"Make two bodies, although the cloth is not as good as Xiaofeng's, it is our heart."

There is still some cotton at home, and the cotton clothes of the family members are also thin, but the soldiers outside suffer even more.The poor ones can't get out of the house, but they can't do it.

Liang Caixia also told Chen Dongsheng about it. "Okay, she will do it if she has the conditions and the courage. Tomorrow, she will bring all the boards in the house. Isn't she going to paste paper?"

"Ah."

It was just dawn the next day.Chen Dou and Chen Tong came over with a cart covered with wooden boards. "Third sister, dad said to paste paper on it."

"It's true, there's no need to wait now." The carpenter's house has a lot of wood, and there is always a convenient place.

They made cotton-padded clothes all day long, and the two sisters of the Chen family pasted paper, and more than ten sheets of paper that had been pasted before had dried up.
