Chapter 339 Vanishing Cream

The old lady said with a sigh. "The cloth woven at home is not as thin and soft as the ones sold outside."

Gu Xiaomai knew that the old man had misunderstood what he meant. The fabrics that are popular outside now are Dacron, so naturally they are not as comfortable as pure cotton. "If it will shrink, I will buy more and save the rest of the shrinkage."

"My own feeling is that the face of the double quilt will shrink by half a foot, so do I buy an extra half foot?" the old lady asked.

"Yes."

The old lady continued to introduce. "The negative side of this cloth is 6 feet, so I need to splice some fabrics, a total of 13 feet, and it will definitely be able to make a quilt!"

Gu Mai's calculations were similar. "How much is the total?"

said the old lady. "That's 6 yuan and 5 cents, I'll charge you six yuan!"

"Can it be cheaper?" Gu Mai bargained.

The outer fabric is 4 cents a foot, and 13 feet is 5 yuan and 2 cents. In this year, 8 cents can buy a catty of pork, which is still a bit expensive.

And she also wanted to buy more fabrics. This time, it will be cheaper next time.

The old lady frowned and said. "Well, I'll charge you five and eight yuan. It really can't be less, and I won't count it any less. At such an age, I can't keep up with my eyes. Weaving is not easy! And I'm still scared to sell this, It's not easy."

Gu Mai nodded. "Alright then, I'll give you the money."

Gu Maimai took out the money from selling the chickens, and gave another [-] cents to the old lady. "Grandma, how much fabric do you have here? I want to buy some more in a few days, and I have to make a mattress."

"Okay, then come back in a week, just come here to find me." The old lady said.

"it is good."

Gu Maimai wrapped the cloth, stuffed it into the cloth pocket, and walked back to the street.

Zhao Xiaoli has finished shopping and is looking for her in a hurry.

"Mother." Gu Maimai walked over and called out.

Zhao Xiaoli went up and hit her. "Why are you so disobedient, kid? Where did you go?"

"Go over there for a walk." Gu Maimai responded lightly. There are so many people now that it's inconvenient to talk about 'bu'. We'll talk about it when we go back. "Mom, are you done shopping?"

Zhao Xiaoli's cloth bag was already stuffed to the brim. "I bought some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and the needles and threads are ready, as well as cotton. Two pots, do you see if there is anything else you want to buy? Let's buy it back together!"

"There are still mats I haven't bought yet." Gu Maimai said.

"Don't worry about the mats. I saw a doctor in Mengtun before. There are people in Mengtun who specialize in weaving mats. I have already asked them to help me weave two mats. They will be delivered in a few days!"

"Mom, I bought this for you." Gu Maimai took out a box of cream.

Zhao Xiaoli knew about this thing and had seen it several times. "Why do you buy this? You can't afford to eat or drink. You can't waste money."

"Mom, you're wrong. A woman's skin is very important. Momo can take care of her skin, and she won't look old when the time comes." Gu Maimai said with a smile.

Zhao Xiaoli blushed. "But mother is already old, how old are you?"

"Mother is not old!"

While chatting, the other women in the village had finished their shopping, and everyone was waiting for the village's tractor at the entrance of the town.

Soon the tractor came and everyone jumped into the car.

A group of people staggered back to the village.
