Seeking Happiness Chapter 164: Planting clothes
I woke up very early the next day and made a small pot of sweet porridge.
I don’t have those red jujube lotus and white fungus at home. There is only sugar in the porridge, but I don’t know if everyone is in a good mood or the meal last night was really bad. They were all eaten up as delicious. Even Shu Huan drank two. bowl.
There were too many things to be busy, and I didn't dare to delay time. Seeing the sky light up, Shu Huan left the house to enjoy the cooking, and went out with a good day and beautiful scenery.
There is a kind of silence in the alley that is unique to the early morning. Several houses half-cover the courtyard gates. When passing by, you can hear the faint sound of pots and pans crashing and a little dreadful voice, and there is also the smell of night The maid or daughter-in-law of Shuhuan saw Shu Huan's eyesight, and she had to slow down and look more. After meeting their gazes, she turned her head and hurriedly walked away.
In this situation, I have lived in Gu's family for many years, and they have long forgotten the good times and beautiful scenery of their childhood. They are a little strange. They have a little novel on their faces, turning their eyes and looking around.
Shu Huan also enjoyed such a different experience from the past. She couldn't help but slow down. When they were out of the alley, when they saw the street stalls selling facial wash and all kinds of breakfast, they felt fresher and fresher. When I found a shop selling cloth, the sun had already risen high.
Clothes must be worn every day. This money can’t be saved. When picking up fabrics, Shu Huan doesn’t even look at the silk and satin, but simply glances at the soft and thick fine fabrics. Silks and satin are expensive, but those materials can't stand the toss.
The silk and satin dress is gorgeous and bright. It is only when it is new. When it is old, it can’t bear to look at it, and it can’t stand rubbing. You must be careful when washing and drying, even when you wear it on your body and sit and sleep. Always be careful, or you have to scratch and wrinkle, it is better to wear muslin clothes that are stronger and more comfortable.
The beautiful scenery of Liangchen is always winking. Seeing that she only looked at the fine fabric, when she was helping to pick it up, she only picked the fine fabric material, but they were a little confused after all, and finally picked the fabric and waited for the buddy. When it was cut out and wrapped, Meijing asked quietly: "Girl, why did you choose several colors for men?"
Is it still necessary to give to the second master?
Shu Huan smiled, and said nothing before paying the money before going out: "The four of us are all women. There is nothing at home. It is a little inconvenient to go out. It is better to make some clothes in male and female styles."
She always thinks that men's costumes are also very beautiful, as long as they are not too scumbags and have better temperaments, they will feel gentle and suave when they wear them. Occasionally, it is good for women to disguise themselves as men.
For her thoughts, Liangchen Meijing can't say that she supports it, but she has seen her wearing the clothes of a young man several times, and I think it's fine.
After pulling the fabric, we must make this fabric into clothes. The female servants of the maidservants are not particularly good, so she simply spends a little more money and finds a tailoring shop to do it, but she thinks very lightly, seriously Standing there with the old tailor to determine the style of the clothes, Shu Huan still had a headache.
The weather is beginning to fall, and it will soon be cold. You need to make jackets, and prepare cotton jackets as soon as possible. There is also the difference between the upper body and the lower body. There is also a difference between the upper body and the lower body. Trousers, in this calculation, the clothes purchased are not enough, and they have to be folded back and pulled again until it is finally determined that each person has two jackets, two cotton jackets, and men’s clothes with cotton clipped. A total of 24 sets of clothes
There are many people, and it can be troublesome sometimes.
Shu Huan was calm when paying the deposit, but Liang Chen was a little uneasy: "Girl, you should pull yourself a few bright clothes. We are not so many of us as maids."
"I didn't do much, there is always something to be replaced." Shu Huan smiled: "You can't wash the clothes you wore yesterday. You can put them on the next day without waiting for it to dry?"
When she said that, on a good day, I remembered that my family was poor when I was young, and summer was better. In winter, when clothes were not easy to dry, I often had no pants to wear, so I had to hide on the kang and cover the embarrassing thing with quilts. When it happened, his face turned red.
Shu Huan said again: "That's how I wronged you."
The look of the beautiful scenery dimmed: "You are wronged."
When I was in Gu’s family, although Shu Huan’s clothes were not as many as Fang’s, there were still a few boxes. By this time, there were only enough replacements, which is really shabby when I think of it.
Shu Huan didn't care about it, she chuckled, and whispered: "I don't want to make more clothes, but I'm afraid that the old tailor will be sick when he rushes to work."
When she said this, Liangchen Meijing looked at the old tailor who was busy wiping off his sweat, and laughed unconsciously.
The muslin material is actually not cheap. In addition to the tailor's wages, the twenty-four clothes cost a full fifteen taels of silver. The two parties agreed to pick up the clothes after five days.
When the old tailor said this, the scenery was full of disbelief: "How can you do it so fast? Shopkeeper, don't get tired from rushing to work, and we have to pay for the medicine when we come back"
Shu Huan and Liang Chen smirked.
The old tailor was sweating again by what she said, and said embarrassedly: "The girl laughed. Many people make this dress together, not just me."
Shu Huan heard the words and looked at the shop, using a modern eye to estimate it. The place is flat in twenty years, not big. Inside the shop are clothes that are ready for people to fetch, but the old tailor is busy. . She knew that this was just a shop for picking up jobs, and the old tailor only measured the size, and the place for making clothes must not be here. When she thought of it, she asked: "Treasurer, I'll ask you about it. Your shop, How much do I have to pay for rent in one month?"
After receiving so many jobs in one trip, the old tailor seemed to be in a good mood, and he answered without hesitation: "Nowadays, the world is difficult, and business is not easy to do. My shop is not big. For renting silver, he hired a guy to help, but in order to save some money, he quit last month. I can’t say I can’t work harder, so I can bring a few more apprentices to earn food."
Shu Huan made a calculation in her heart. The shop in her good location is much larger than here~IndoMTL.com~ and the location is on the main street. If you want to rent out, estimate the rent this month. Silver is indispensable, and if you save some flowers, maybe she and the maid will not have to use those silver tickets for monthly food.
Thinking about this, she settled in her heart and asked the tailor: "What is the character of the guy you used to hire, does he have a master now?"
The old tailor was slightly startled, and looked at her with a glance: "Why, the girl is going to hire someone?"
"Yes" Shu Huan smiled and said: "I'm thinking of hiring one. It doesn't need to be clever, it's best to be honest and kind."
The old tailor nodded and said: "The guy I hired is not bad, but he doesn't talk much and doesn't attract business very much. You have to be honest, he is suitable."
"That..."
"Let’s do this, I know that guy’s residence, I will run back for you and ask him if he is alive now. When you come back to fetch clothes, I will give you a quasi-trust."
Shu Huan was overjoyed, and quickly thanked him, and then talked a few gossips with the old tailor, and when he saw that he had another business call, he resigned.
