A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

At first she didn't understand why Bai Xia only wanted women, but after hearing what she said, her heart suddenly changed.

She saw that the girls in the village had no clothes to wear and wanted to do good deeds.

Otherwise, the head of the house would give you clothes when he hires someone to do work, and he would be willing to use wages as compensation.

Not to mention that there are few things those children can do at home, and the income of two cents a day is not an income.

They would definitely not be willing to let the grown-ups pay to make clothes for their children, but it would be different if their children could earn two cents a day.

A family with many children must have seven or eight children, and those aged seven and above must have at least four or five. When several children are added together, they become an adult and must have a full ten cents.

Not only that, they can also get a piece of clothing for free, and they can also help the family with other things.

This is a lucrative deal.

"Don't be too quick to be happy. These clothes can be made. But as you know, there are only two girls in my family who don't know how to make clothes. They say they are giving out clothes, but they are just giving out the fabrics and sewing work. You have to make it at home”

"Of course, I will only count the cost of the fabric at that time."

Seeing that the village chief's wife was happy, Bai Xia couldn't help but give her a vaccination.

"That's right, that's right"

It’s not that the guys don’t know how to do things if they don’t have clothes to wear, it’s because they don’t have any cloth.

It would be nice to have fabric.

"Also, you have to tell everyone that in order for everyone to pay back the money for the fabrics, we can only provide burlap for the fabrics this time."

The conditions of each family are not good, and they are willing to let their children out because they want to make money. In the first day, it is easy to satisfy them with two cents a day. If they make more money in the future, they will be disgusted with them because they earn less.

Bai Xia's purpose was to allow these girls to get out of the house, not to make them disliked by their families.

"Coarse cloth is good. Everyone wears coarse cloth."

The village chief’s wife doesn’t dislike it at all.

After Bai Xia left, he went to each household to inform everyone of the good news.

The people in the village were initially a little unhappy that the village chief's wife sent their eldest daughter-in-law to Bai Xia to raise pigs, but after hearing the news, they immediately became happy.

There are quite a few girls in the family who are over seven years old.

There are dozens of them in one village.

After hearing Bai Xia's request, they were too happy to be happy, and they would still dislike it.

They were all born from the same belly, and everyone felt sorry for the baby girl.

It’s just that I don’t have to eat or wear anything, but of course I still have to eat tight.

Didn't you see that the boy only had one or two scraps of scraps, running around the mountain with his butt naked?
"Is this boy okay?"

After all, there was someone who felt more sorry for the boy. Hearing that Bai Xia could release information about his work there, he couldn't help but ask.

The village chief's wife felt suffocated, frowning and said: "I haven't asked about this. You report the girl's situation first, and I will make a rough estimate so that I can reply to you. Regarding the boy's matter, after asking Say it again"

After each household left, the village chief's wife counted the number of people and went to Bai Xia's home to look for her.

Bai Xia personally received her. There were many girls in the village, dozens of them over seven years old. After hearing this, she nodded and went straight back to the house to get some burlap.

One by one, the gaps are larger than pinholes.

"All the fabrics have been placed with you. I would like to trouble you to come to these children to measure them and let them cut the fabrics."

The village chief's wife took the cloth and said it was not hard work.

He also asked Bai Xia if he could plant radish seedlings this time with a boy.

Bai Xia thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"If there is a chance in the future, I can let a boy come. This time, let's go with the girl first." The burlap is sold in her transformation pool for one cent and a half, which is 150 yuan a piece. One piece of cloth can make two adult clothes. , the child is young, not tall, and can reach about four feet.

The price is not expensive.

But for those who came to the village, it was calculated as three denarii.

On average, one horse can earn half.

If they were evenly divided among the four children, if they did things neatly, they would be able to earn back the clothes in eight or nine days.

The reason why the village chief's wife kept an eye on the quantity was because she didn't want them to overmeasure the cloth.

Nowadays, when people make clothes, they like to make them bigger. Many people wear them for several years. Once the big clothes are worn, they will be worn by the small ones, and when the small clothes are worn, they will be worn by the smaller ones.

If this continues, the children below will basically not be able to wear new clothes.

Some children even have diapers that were used by previous children.

The cloth was distributed, and soon the village chief's wife took her granddaughter to measure the children, and every household was busy cutting and making new clothes.

In just one day, the girls in the village walked out of their homes.

All of them are very thin, but their faces are filled with happy smiles.

The girls under the age of seven at home looked at them longingly and enviously. They wanted to go out of the house, but they thought they had nothing to wear and lowered their heads in disappointment.

"A-mei, be good. Mom said, all the money I earned will be saved to buy you clothes. When A-sister earns enough, you can go out just like A-sister."

"Sister, sister, what about me? I also want to wear new clothes." The younger brother, who was one year younger than the girl, came up to her sister and shouted that he wanted it too.

The girl glanced at the main room and saw that the adults were not paying attention. She pulled the boy aside and whispered: "My brother is a boy. He has to earn money to buy his own clothes."

The little boy tilted his head in confusion and wanted to ask why the boy had to earn his own money to buy clothes.

But he understands the idea of ​​making money by yourself.

Every family was immersed in joy, especially the girls.

Early the next morning, they went out, first came to the door of Bai Xia's house, kowtowed to Bai Xia's house, and then went to plant radish seedlings in the ground.

With adults taking care of them, they studied hard and quickly learned how to plant.

Women are responsible for making nests and pulling out seedlings, while children are responsible for planting seedlings and burying them in the soil.

Jinxi supervises the work.

Looking at the mountain of women and girls, she looked a little dazed. The young lady was really so kind.

The new linen also looked dusty, but everyone had hope on their faces.

At the end of the day, they accomplished even better than the goal Bai Xia set at the beginning.

Under such circumstances, the salesman entered the village carrying a load.

Bai Xia was sitting at home, busy drawing.

She is not good at painting mountains and water, but simple buildings are not a problem for her.

What she drew was a factory, a weaving factory. She saw that many people's land in the village was left uncultivated after being cleared. She thought of two directions. One was to plant hogweed, which she had seen in her previous life. The other is to feed vegetables to pigs and grow hemp.

Hemp is easy to survive, and you can plant some wherever you find a field stalk.

Let everyone plant it first, and then buy a loom and let everyone weave cloth.

First practice weaving linen, then weave cotton, then dyeing and twisting. Step by step, let the people in the village have jobs and earn money.

Of course, farming cannot be delayed.

However, she didn't have vegetables specifically for feeding pigs, so she had to ask Li Xiuyuan to send someone to find them.
