After buying the candied fruit, the four of them put the things back on the carriage, and walked to the nearby cloth shop.
After entering May, the weather has become hotter. It is time to prepare to sew unlined clothes. Now Shoujiang¡¯s wife is also a small manager. She is in charge of sewing clothes, bed curtains, curtains, mats, bedding and other things in Chu Rong¡¯s house. .
Originally, there was only Xiaolin's wife, but now that there are more and more long-term workers in the family, the two of them must be too busy, so Chu Rong made the decision to assign Shuicheng's wife and Wenshan Wenfeng's daughter-in-law to her. Well, the next five daughters-in-law are all quick-handed, making their work a lot easier.
"Ladies, do you want to see the fabrics? We have all kinds of good fabrics here. I can't say they are complete, but I can guarantee the ones on the market."
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop is a middle-aged white and fat man with a small mustache. He smiles like a Maitreya Buddha, giving people a sense of intimacy.
"Shopkeeper, take out some good-quality cotton cloth from your home and show it to our boss." Xiao Chen went up to meet him with a smile, and said cheerfully after taking a look at Chu Rong.
The shopkeeper is also a master of observation, he was ambiguous at first and didn't know the identities of these four people, but after Xiao Chen's cryptic mention, he also saw that the youngest woman standing in the middle was only wearing a muslin cotton skirt. , but she has the temperament of a big lady, so you don't need to guess to know that this is the boss.
"Hey, ma'am, wait a minute, the little old man will get the cloth right now." Then, the shopkeeper greeted two young men, and took out five bolts of muslin cloth in different colors.
"Ma'am, here are the colors selected by the little old man according to your clothes. You can take a look first. If you are not satisfied, there are some more gorgeous ones, and some dark ones, but I think Madam is really not suitable for those dark ones. I didn't take it out."
The face of the shopkeeper is always piled up, and even the little guys around him don't understand what the shopkeeper is doing. Isn't it just a few small families who buy cloth, not silk and satin, so why are they so attentive?
"The shopkeeper has a good vision, let's wrap up these five pieces." Looking at the five pieces of light-colored fabric, Chu Rong was also very satisfied. She kept two of the five pieces for herself, and gave the rest to the women in the family. Adding items is also enough.
This time the shopkeeper was really pleasantly surprised. It was originally a gamble. He has been working as a shopkeeper in cloth village since he was a teenager. Until now, he has been the shopkeeper for twenty years. The ladies he met, There are also many Miss Qianjin.
Those people are all silk and satin, wearing gold and silver, but there are also special ones, just like this person today, he is obviously a rich man, but he only cares about cotton clothes, just for comfort.
He happily greeted the buddy to pack them. These muslin cloths are the best in terms of workmanship and dyeing, and they cost forty taels after five pieces of cloth.
However, these five horses are far from only for women, and Chu Rong chose two horses for each of her two treasures, and Huang Shuhai also chose two horses.
The rest belonged to the long-term workers. They wanted to work, so they chose cheap cheesecloth. Although it was cheap, it couldn¡¯t support the crowd. A dozen horses of gray and indigo cheesecloth were loaded into the carriage. I also bought some soft silk materials for underwear, and yarn materials such as bed curtains and door curtains.
? It cost me two hundred taels for the trip. Before leaving, the shopkeeper was so happy that he could not see his teeth, and he did not forget to send an extra piece of cheesecloth to get more repeat customers.
After Chu Rong and his party left, the two stunned young men regained their composure, and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper, "My lord, the shopkeeper, you are really amazing, that woman looks like you!" She's just a woman from a small family, dressed very plainly, how do you know she can spend so much money."
It's no wonder that the boy is excited, that's two hundred taels, you know that their cloth shop only sells so much in a day, can you not be excited.
"Hmph, short-sighted!" The shopkeeper snorted coldly, and pushed the two boys aside in disgust, and said bitterly, "In the future, keep your eyes bright, and you can't just judge people by their clothes. Besides, what about fine cotton cloth?" Lah, that thing makes clothes and is comfortable to wear."
There is one more thing that he didn't say, when he was talking to that woman just now, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the collar of her underwear, if you read it correctly, it is silkworm cotton, it is a precious thing, even Fucheng may not have it, He had seen it when he went to Kyoto many years ago,
One horse is worth a thousand taels, can ordinary people afford it?
The shopkeeper hummed twice, ignoring the two short-sighted young men, sitting at the counter, stroking the silver he just got, and sipping hot tea.
To be honest, the shopkeeper was right. Chu Rong was wearing clothes made of silkworm cotton, but she really didn't know that the fabric was worth a thousand taels.When Chu Xiao came here at the beginning, she brought two of them. She felt more comfortable than the silk, so she asked Shoujiang's wife to make some sets of underwear for the family of four to wear. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
