Chapter 129
Mrs. Xu ordered her granddaughter's clothes first.

She took off the charcoal pencil inserted in her hair as a wooden hairpin, and wrote down in the small notebook she carried:

The granddaughter wears a thin padded jacket and trousers in winter, so she needs to buy two and a half catties of cotton as the wick.

As for the inner cloth for wrapping and sewn cotton, the white muslin cloth is ordered to be [-] cents a foot, and the cotton trousers are ordered to be black muslin cloth.

It takes thirteen feet to pull the inner cloth alone, and a piece of cloth is forty feet.

If it is an ordinary farmhouse, you should not buy a light color like white for the top.

But Mrs. Xu thought that if the color of the smock over the padded jacket was too light, the dark color of the lining would show through, making it unattractive to wear.It doesn't matter if the cotton trousers are dark in color, and she wears a skirt over the cotton trousers. When she returns home, she will make a pair of cotton boots for her granddaughter.

Mrs. Xu is determined to spend money once to dress up her granddaughter.

It doesn't matter where the person is, she must be beautiful if she has the conditions, and she must be beautiful if she doesn't have the conditions to create the conditions. Otherwise, it would be a pity for her granddaughter to grow up in a blink of an eye. What is she trying to do from scratch?

Besides, money is a bastard, if it is not enough for us to earn more, who knows when it will be gone again.In modern times, she was always prepared for danger in times of peace, and in the end she saved money and did not know who would benefit from it.

Mrs. Xu planned to give her granddaughter a cotton-padded jacket a pink color, and she needed another seven feet of pink muslin.The skirt has pleats, and it must be at least seven feet.Not counting the inner cloth covering the cotton wicks, the clothes would be fourteen feet longer.Reserve more, considering that there are buckles on the hemming.The skirt color is set to be blue.

The lady of the host family was very surprised by the old lady Xu's choice of color. After thinking about it, it's no wonder that the old woman in patches has such a calm demeanor.

It is guessed that even if they are from a farming family, at least there are scholars in the family, or people who once provided for scholars.After all, only people with high spirits can still think about beauty, otherwise it would be too unrealistic.

This kind of pink and blue is not suitable for working in the countryside, but I didn't persuade them much.Knowing that the peasant family wanted to buy new clothes, it must be cruel, and it is impossible to spend money to joke, so it must be carefully chosen: "Looking blue?"

Mrs. Xu didn't know what Qiubo blue and Jianshi blue were. She knew that the dress she chose for her granddaughter looked like the blue of a clear sky.She has great ambitions, which is the goal of the next year, and she will wear pure cotton for the time being.

The old lady Xu said in a low-key way: "It is not easy for the villagers to make clothes. They have to consider that they can be worn in spring and summer, so they choose such shallow clothes."

"Isn't it sewn together with cotton?" Is it necessary to take out the cotton after winter?
"No, just do it alone. The fine cloth ordered before is for sewing cotton, and then put this clothes on the outside, so that it can be washed if there is a change."

Maid of the host family: Huh?Don't say it, really don't say it, this trick...

Mrs. Xu also ordered Xu Tianxin a thick padded jacket and trousers. This suit required four catties of cotton, and the lining naturally still required [-] feet of fine cotton cloth.

And the second set of clothes should be begonia red, and the skirt underneath is black.

This color is a bit dark blue.Wearing this thick cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers, red on the top and black on the bottom, it is festive to wear during the New Year and fifteenth in cold weather.That body pink with blue eyes can be worn under or in spring.

In fact, according to Mrs. Xu's aesthetics, she prefers palace red with jade white skirts, or goose yellow with light green.As long as you make your granddaughter's face whiter, she will wear it in spring.I also caught up with the opportunity to buy goods at this time and bought cloth at a lower price. It is reasonable to make two more clothes, but the money is...

It was at this time that Xu Tianxin went upstairs.

I heard that these two sets of clothes plus the cotton lining cost a total of 5340 copper coins, more than five taels of silver, and grandma has not yet made her a quilt, shirts, underwear, and vest pants for her. How much do you spend?
If you spend more money on her, you have to save from the whole family.

not.

Fortunately, the cloth has not yet been cut.

"Grandma, you come."

Xu Tianxin was dragged aside by grandma to persuade her earnestly, can we be realistic?Are those colors suitable for cooking in the farmhouse and collecting herbs in the mountains?Even squatting in the toilet is not suitable.It is still a whole piece of material, without patches and brightly colored, which is stuck among the villagers, like the strange clothes in the village, which are so awkward and out of touch with the masses.

Xu Tianxin didn't understand. She was persuaded by her grandmother last night, but why did she regret it when she arrived at Buzhuang today? No wonder she was asked to wait downstairs instead of following.

Mrs. Xu was caught by her granddaughter, and she explained with some embarrassment: "The days are going to be good, if you don't reach out, I will give you less money, what's the matter with buying two sets of dresses, I would rather not buy them bedding. "

Live streaming money, salt making, wine making in the future, these few things that the family makes to earn money for food, selling pastries, can there be today without her granddaughter?

Mrs. Xu is plausible, just take it out, and her granddaughter has already earned the money for the clothes.But how many times did she, as a grandmother, grit her teeth and say that she would spend all of it on her granddaughter if she sold sets, pastries or whatever, and what was the result?The one who picked and searched and searched has never bought anything for his granddaughter, so he should first worry about the Xu family as a whole?

If anyone dares to say no more, she will take her granddaughter alone.

"Grandma, my uncles have never said no, now call the third uncle, he will only say yes. But I feel awkward, the coat is all pink, and it is pure cotton instead of satin. Don't you like me in pink? Well, listen to me..."

Mrs. Xu was reluctant to be persuaded, so she was dragged by Xu Tianxin and ordered a lot of black coarse cloth with the host's family. In this way, the cost was reduced from 35 Wen a foot to [-] Wen a foot.

And grandma wanted her to wear red and pink, and Xu Tianxin also took care of it.

To compare delicate pink, Xu Tianxin asked his hostess to only pull it a foot.

She took her grandma's charcoal pencil and sketched a picture of the clothes style in the small book she sewed.Just looking at the clothes, only the bottom of the collar to the top of the chest is pink, and there is a pink thin round edge on the top of the two cuffs, and the rest of the body, including the collar, is black.It's easy to take care of, and it won't show if it's dirty.

Xu Tianxin coaxed Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, if there are any leftover rags after cutting the clothes at home, I will ask my aunt to make me cotton gloves and cotton hats with powdered cotton cloth. Is that enough powder? You can sew two pink cloth ropes to tie my hair and let it hang down, this body is more pink and less dusty than those made of fine cloth."

In this way, the begonia red body is also made according to the Yingying pink style, and the pleated skirts are all black coarse sarongs, where there is no autumn water blue and indigo.

In the end, I added two sets of shirts, underpants and underpants and vests for Xu Tianxin, including the buttoned cloth, and the total cost was only two and a half dollars.

Mrs. Xu changed two single quilts and two single mattresses for her granddaughter and herself.

A quilt is four catties of cotton, and the mattress is one and a half catties of cotton. Counting the coarse quilt cover here, it costs another two and a half.

At this point, Xu Tianxin dared to spend money to make a decision.

He urged: "Buy my second uncle and aunt a double quilt." The two-meter double quilt uses five catties of cotton, and the mattress costs two catties of cotton.

"Give me three uncles and uncles to buy bedding according to my grandma and me." This is another two-and-a-half.

Mrs. Xu stopped her and said: "The flowers are running out, wait until they get married and buy more, first give them the quilts we eliminated."

It was hard for Xu Tianxin to imagine the scene where the third uncle and the younger uncle were hugging and sleeping together.

Besides, the eliminated quilts, together with the broken quilts from the second uncle and second aunt's house, are not going to be placed in the restaurant?For a while, who stayed there to guard the shop and cover it.

"Grandma, you have to change it for my uncles," Xu Tianxin persuaded Mrs. Xu in a low voice, let's spend it first, these are all necessities, next time you earn money, you can buy other things, and you can wait for other things, but it takes time to make quilts and cotton clothes. without delay.

Besides, the sacks and quilts of the uncles are kept as door curtains and windows in winter, and can also be used as door curtains in the barn on the other side of the shop, so there is no waste at all.

In the end, Xu Tianxin followed the way she did with her clothes and chose "coloured" clothes for Mrs. Xu and her aunt. Mrs. Xu's was dark purple, and her aunt's was lilac lavender. These two colors were different. A foot of cloth.

Last time, the Bai family sent fabric to thank the three uncles for their righteousness, but it was only enough to make three short jackets, so the uncle's underwear should be made from the ones sent by the Bai family.As for the coat, Xu Tianxin persuaded Mrs. Xu to order another half-sixty-foot piece of brown coarse cloth. In this case, it would be enough for grandma and aunt to make dresses or three uncles to make clothes, and it cost more than two taels of silver.

In addition to the money for making a set of thick cotton clothes and trousers for grandma and uncle, including two small clothes for aunt, the total cost was six and a half.

This is on the premise that Mrs. Xu spends money and sweats, and refuses to buy thin padded jackets and trousers for everyone so that they can continue to use catkins to deal with them.

30 taels of silver, and when Liu Laozhu came in again, he had already spent 23 taels.

Liu Laozhu was shocked: "It's about to catch up with my stock."

Mrs. Xu almost blurted out: "Old Zhu, can you lend me some money, I don't want to pay you back so much."
