The Little Days of the Great Landlord

Chapter 58 Hanfu
"Beauty Liu, long time no see! How are you and the stinky peasant?" Zheng Dongfang is a tall man with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, very masculine, and greets Liu Lili as soon as he comes up.

"I said you're a gossip, what about you? How are you and your sweet girl? Are you married?" Liu Lili gave him a blank look and asked.

"Hi! Don't mention it, I blew it up last year... I have different personalities..." Zheng Dongfang sat down opposite Liu Lili, picked up the cup of coffee Zhang Yue had drunk, and was about to drink it.

"Alas, that cup is mine, if you want to drink it, you have to go..." Zhang Yue quickly snatched it over and sat next to Liu Lili.

"Stingy..." Zheng Dongfang looked at Zhang Yue with disdain, and snapped his fingers, "Waiter, a cup of coffee, just like them."

"What are you doing now? Why are you wandering around the school gate? I remember when you graduated, you seemed to say that you wanted to go back to your hometown to help your dad..." Zhang Yue asked.

"Hi! Don't mention it! Don't our family run a hotel? These days, I don't know some bastard who fiddled with a batch of high-quality vegetables and secretly supplied them to some well-known big hotels. The difference in grade between us and others is getting bigger and bigger. As it gets bigger and bigger, the turnover is plummeting, and now it’s almost impossible to get rid of it. Those well-known big hotels are leading by Yingning Hotel. I bought a hotel opposite the school, and I have been staring at it for a long time. Let's see if we can catch that bastard, and beg him to sell us some high-quality vegetables..." Zheng Dongfang gritted his teeth when he thought of the guy who was tinkering with high-quality vegetables, but he was quite helpless.

The coffee was delivered, and Zheng Dongfang picked it up and poured it down his throat. The hot coffee made his face blush and his neck thickened. He handed the cup to the waiter who hadn't had time to leave, "One more cup..."

The waiter glanced at Zheng Dongfang like a monster, then turned around and poured him another glass.

"Is the bald skin hot on the chest?" Zhang Yue asked cautiously.

"Need to talk? Look at the virtue of burning him..." Liu Lili smiled while covering her mouth.

"No wonder the stinky peasants don't like you! You are so unkind, look at Zhang Yue, see us suffer, and know how to care about us..." Zheng Dongfang said with a bitter face.

"You, I shouldn't talk to you..." Liu Lili rolled Zheng Dongfang's eyes, took a sip of coffee happily, and smacked her lips, "It's warm and moist, fragrant and strong, it's really delicious..."

"I found out that you are really bad. The stinky farmer is really self-aware. If he gets along with you, you will eat him to death with his limp character... Hahahaha..." Zheng Dongfang said, laughing stand up.

"A wicked thing..." Liu Lili also laughed.

"Zheng Dongfang, do you know about Yang Ming's marriage?" Zhang Yue asked.

"Of course I know, what's our relationship? That's an iron buddy, the invitations have all been delivered to our house..." At this time, the waiter brought another cup of coffee, Zheng Dongfang took it, and gently blew on the hot air , took a sip.

"What does Yang Ming's partner look like? Do you know?" Zhang Yue asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Where did Zheng Dongfang see Wei Qingqing?But isn't it just nonsense for a group of young people to gather together? "Is it long? Make do with it, it's definitely not as beautiful as Liu Lili..." Liu Lili just showed a knowing smile, only to hear Zheng Dongfang continue: "But it must be gentler than Liu Lili... Think about it, the character of a stinky farmer Yes, if he marries a strong woman, he won't be able to live well? Just because he is a bit simple and honest, doesn't mean he has no temper, he is actually quite a man in his bones."

In other words, the men in the countryside are indeed more like men than the men in the city, why?For jobs in the city, what men can do, women can do, or even do better, and the salary is not bad. The contribution to the family is great, so naturally they have the confidence. Even if they are divorced, they can support themselves. Men get Can't live her seven inches.But what about the countryside?Men are the main labor force. Most of the work in the fields is done by men, and men make the greatest contribution to the family. Therefore, most of the men in the countryside are the same at home. A few months of experience in the countryside will definitely cure [-]% of the disease.

"So it's like this... It seems that Lily is really in danger..." Zhang Yue began to frown.

"Pfft..." Zheng Dongfang just took a sip of coffee, and after hearing Zhang Yue's words, he spit it out again, stared at Liu Lili with wide eyes, "You haven't given up yet, have you? Are you planning to come to a tiger king on the day of the stinky farmer's wedding?"

"Listen to her talking nonsense, die Zhang Yue, if you talk nonsense again, I will break up with you..." Liu Lili gave Zhang Yue an annoyed look, listening to what you said, it seemed like I was chasing Yang Ming, People seem to look down on him, but, thinking about that Yang Ming, he is indeed a good person.

Zhang Yue stuck out her tongue and buried herself in drinking coffee.

The chicks who are catching bugs and eating by themselves in the grass have already nested one after another, and the ducks and geese that have not been seen all day are also lined up in a long line, waddling back to the yard, in a corner Lying down in the middle, the more and more mysterious black cat Miao Miao walked slowly in the yard, bowing and shaking its fur from time to time. In the west wing room, several pairs of cat eyes were shining in the dark. Mimi and her kids.

Puppies, cuddling in groups of three or two, some crawling into firewood piles, some stretching their legs and hips under the trees, scattered in and out of the courtyard, only Dahei and his four brothers and sisters, Walking around the yard like a sentinel patrolling the territory.

Aunt Dabao, the wife of Zheng Dabao, the village party secretary, took away a little yellow dog in the middle of the day. Before leaving, she asked about job recruitment. Recruiting people, by the way, her son graduated from junior high school and is as dull as his father. He usually works with his parents on his few acres of land. With a salary, it is easy to talk about it from all over the world, and it is much easier to marry a wife.

After dinner, Yang Ming walked around the shed. He was very satisfied with the six people recruited in the second half of the day. The shed was made very tight and the inside was very warm, which showed that these six people were really good crops. Although I have never done a greenhouse before, I can master it once I learn it. Even the little girl Liu Nannan can do it with ease.

The sound of insects chirping, in the bleakness of autumn, is a little weak, and the dew at night is also heavy.

Yang Ming, Xiao Bao'er, and Liu Nannan were watching TV in the east room, but Wei Qingqing went to Mrs. Liu's house and talked to her.

"Sister-in-law Liu, what's going on? Can you tell us? Why did Grandma Bao'er rob Bao'er?" Wei Qingqing said while sitting on the edge of the kang at Liu's sister-in-law's house.

"It's nothing, didn't Bao'er recognize you as a godmother? Grandma Bao'er thought I wanted to entrust Bao'er to you, and then go to the master on her own. Although Bao'er is a daughter, she is also the only descendant of their Zheng family. Naturally, I can't let her have a foreign surname. How can I explain to them that they don't believe it? You said they want to rob my daughter, isn't that killing me? I was in a hurry with them at that time." Liu sister-in-law accepted it leisurely. The sole of the shoe, he said.

Aunt Liu's words were indeed very credible, but Wei Qingqing always felt that there was something wrong, and when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't figure it out.

"Did you and Yang Ming get married on October [-]st?" Mrs. Liu raised her head and scratched her scalp with a needle.

"Hmm! Yes..." Wei Qingqing nodded.

"I'll give you a gift too..." Mrs. Liu said, put down the soles of her shoes, got off the kang, took out a soft ruler, pulled Wei Qingqing up, and began to measure her body.

"What are you doing?" Wei Qingqing was taken aback by her, and raised her arms to cooperate with her.

"I'll make a Hanfu for you..." Mrs. Liu said while carefully measuring Wei Qingqing's body size.

"Hanfu?" Wei Qingqing was a little surprised.

"That's right, the traditional clothes of the Han people, the kind with wide robes and big sleeves..." Mrs. Liu quickly finished measuring, then took out a pencil, and wrote down the data in a small homework book, "My grandma My family has been tailoring in the village for generations, and my mother also knows this craft, and when I grow up, she will pass it on to me."

"When you get married, you need to wear dresses. Dresses are also called mianfu. The top and bottom are rewarding. It's complicated to wear, but it's also the best-looking." Liu Aunt said, opening the lying cabinet in the house, and took out a few bolts of silk. There are black, red, yellow and white. "These silks are the dowry my mother gave me when I got married. They are all domesticated silkworms and are hand-woven on looms."

"This, it feels so good...it's worth a lot of money, right?" Wei Qingqing touched the silk cloth with her hand, it felt slippery and very comfortable, and there was a soft luster under the light.

"What is it worth? Are we people in the mountains still wearing silk clothes to work in the fields? It has been kept at home for more than ten years." Mrs. Liu threw all the things on the kang to one side and spread it on the bed. A clean thin wooden board, spread the silk cloth on the wooden board, take a soft ruler to measure the left and right sides of the silk cloth, and then draw a mark with talc.

"Oh! I haven't measured Yang Ming yet! Let's go, let's go to your house and measure Yang Ming's size." Aunt Liu put down the calculus pretending to be surprised, took a soft ruler, and pulled Wei Qingqing out the door. Linyuan went to measure Yang Ming's size.

Aunt Liu measured Yang Ming's top and bottom, not even letting go of his feet. There are so many components of the mianfu, not only the clothes, but also the headgear and shoes.

"Bao'er, I'm going to school tomorrow, don't sleep too late, Nannan will supervise..." Aunt Liu left a sentence, took the measured size, turned around and went back to her yard.

Wei Qingqing did not follow, but sat beside Yang Ming.

"What's going on?" Yang Ming leaned closer to Wei Qingqing's ear and asked in a low voice.

Therefore, Wei Qingqing also learned in a low voice what Mrs. Liu said to her, and she learned her tone perfectly, "... What do you think is going on? I always feel that something is wrong , but I can't tell..."

"You are being perfunctory. Grandma Bao'er thinks so much about Bao'er? What did you do earlier? Besides, Mrs. Liu's tone of voice seems to be talking about other people's affairs. It is false at first glance. I am afraid that you will continue to question me in the end. Didn't you just talk about making clothes for us?..." Yang Ming confirmed from the side that Mrs. Liu was lying.

"Then what should we do? Do you still ask in depth?" Wei Qingqing said.

"Don't ask, she doesn't want to tell us, that is to say, Auntie Liu can handle it by herself, she doesn't need us to help her, and it's about family affairs, family ugliness should not be publicized, we are outsiders, and they won't tell us if we ask... ..." Yang Ming said.

"That's fine..." Wei Qingqing nodded, sat upright, and watched TV together leaning against him.

"However, Mrs. Liu can make Hanfu. This is an accidental discovery. Tell me, should we cooperate with Mrs. Liu to open a clothing company, she makes clothes, we grow mulberry and silkworms, specialize in silk and provide raw materials, modern Many people admire Hanfu, and if it is sold, it will definitely become a hit, and maybe form a brand." Yang Ming said.Now that the couple stopped whispering, it would be fine if the voice was amplified.

"It's an idea, but let's take a look at the finished product made by Mrs. Liu..." Wei Qingqing nodded.

"Brother Yang, Sister Qingqing, are you talking about my aunt making clothes?" Liu Nannan suddenly turned his head.

Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing looked at Liu Nannan together, Wei Qingqing nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"My aunt has the most skillful hands. Female celebrities are a must in our Liujia Village, but now the finished clothes are quite cheap, so my aunt doesn't do it often." Liu Nannan said.

"Wang Po sells melons, sells melons, sells melons..." Yang Ming saw the little girl's eyes shining, and couldn't help but want to tease her.

"That's not true. When I was a child, my aunt made New Year's clothes for me. When I wear them in school, my classmates are envious..." Liu Nannan blushed and said unconvinced.

"Okay, okay, let's see the effect, if the effect is really good, we will cooperate..." Yang Ming said.

"What kind of cooperation?" Liu Nannan rolled his eyes wide.

"We provide high-quality silk, and then make silk cloth for your aunt to process into Hanfu..." Yang Ming said.

"Then how to divide the profits?" Liu Nannan's little girl is now getting into the eyes of money.

"You're six and I'm four, I gave up..." Yang Ming said.

As we all know, the value of clothing lies in the brand and craftsmanship. For a piece of clothing costing thousands of yuan, the fabric is at most [-] yuan. The rest of the value is the brand and craftsmanship. Yang Ming's profit sharing method is actually not a disadvantage. On the contrary, once Hanfu becomes popular in China, he, the material supplier, can take [-]% of the profit, which is really a huge advantage.

"Is that what you said? I'll tell my aunt to go." Liu Nannan immediately jumped down and rushed to Aunt Liu's yard in a hurry.

After a while, the mother and wife came over, and Mrs. Liu immediately asked, "Yang Mingqing, are you really planning to cooperate with me to start a clothing company?"

Sister-in-law Liu's eyes are bright. She is a traditional woman and is very proficient in female celebrities. In the old society, if a woman did not understand female celebrities, she would not be able to marry at all. Liu's sister-in-law is not only proficient in female celebrities, but also And I also like that female red is her usual pastime job, but since Bao'er's father passed away two years ago, all the burdens of the family have fallen on her, and female red has also let go. If her craftsmanship can produce If she can support herself and her daughter, she doesn't want to farm. Farming is mainly a man's job. Isn't it still sung in Huangmei Opera? "You plow the fields and I weave, you carry water and I water the garden..." Men are the main labor force in the fields, at most they plant some fruit trees, which are not like crops, which can be harvested for several years .

"Yeah!" Yang Ming looked at the fanatical Mrs. Liu, feeling his scalp tingling, feeling that her gaze could burn people, and burn himself, so he could only nod his head.

"We feel that there are relatively few people wearing Hanfu in China now, so we have an idea to make Hanfu specially..." Wei Qingqing also felt that Mrs. Liu's eyes were aggressive to a certain extent. As if he wasn't wearing any clothes, he unconsciously moved closer to Yang Ming.

"I can not only make Hanfu, but also cheongsam..." said Mrs. Liu.

"Forget about cheongsams. There are not a few cheongsam sellers in the market now. We want to establish a brand that only makes Hanfu." Yang Ming said.

"That's fine too... just wait, I'll make clothes for you, and when I'm done, you can see the effect, if it's good, we'll cooperate, if it doesn't work, let's just forget it..." Aunt Liu's eyes widened Light up.

"No problem..." Yang Ming nodded.

"It's so noisy, I can't even hear the TV..." Little Baoer pouted and complained, but the little guy was also sensible and knew that he would wait until the adults had finished talking about serious matters before complaining.

"Just watch it for a while, watch it every day, and delay your studies..." Aunt Liu glared at her daughter, turned around and went back to her yard. Making Hanfu is not an easy job. Cutting, embroidery and so on, Fei Laozi It took a lot of time, and it would take at least a week to make two sets of Hanfu.

"I'll help my aunt..." Liu Nannan ran away happily.

There were only three people left in the room, Yang Ming and his wife, and their goddaughter Xiao Baoer, who had long been addicted to TV shows, but Yang Ming and his wife stared blankly.

"We still have to raise silkworms, right..." Wei Qingqing whispered.

"Of course." Yang Ming nodded.

"You raise..., I get goosebumps when I see those little bugs..." Wei Qingqing said, rubbing her arms.

"Nowadays, there are very few silkworm farmers. It's still a matter of where we can get them. There are textile factories in our city, but no silkworm factories..." Yang Ming said.

"Godfather, I know where there are silkworms. My grandma's has them. If you stop talking and let me watch TV, I'll go to grandma's to get them for you tomorrow. Otherwise, hehe..." Xiao Baoer suddenly interrupted After saying a word, Xiao looks very proud.

"Okay, dare to threaten me, I will transform into Big Big Wolf and eat you, a big fat sheep..." Yang Ming pretended to be Big Big Wolf, and rushed towards Little Baoer, scratching the little guy's armpit .

"Hehehehe..." Little Bao'er giggled and rolled on the kang, avoiding Yang Ming's hand.

"We are Pleasant Goat, and we will fight Big Big Wolf to the end..." Wei Qingqing and Xiao Baoer immediately stood on the united front.

"Hey, Ms. Red Wolf, you have reversed..."

ps: Ask for recommendation, ask for collection...
