After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 83 Improved Apron ([-]rd)

The fruit problem was basically solved, and Chen Xingyan was relieved.

Now the best sellers of their family are hawthorn jelly and wishful silk, but the profit is very thin, and the real money is pear paste candy and autumn pear paste.

Qiuli cream is a viscous honey-like thing that is boiled and sealed in a small jar. You can scoop out a spoonful and drink it with water.

The weather in the north is dry. Every autumn and winter, people often cough and have itchy throat. Drinking a glass of this water will feel a coolness in the throat, and it also has the effect of reducing internal heat.

This autumn pear ointment is not only sold in pharmacies, but also in some dim sum shops.

The price of Qiuli Gao is very high, because the cost is also high, and there are not only pears in it, but also other medicinal materials.

Of course, strictly speaking, the cost of Qiuli Paste is still cheaper than that of Pear Paste Candy.

Chen Xingyan made a coarse cloth smock by himself. The coarse cloth is very thick, but it is not suitable for wearing next to the body. It can be worn over the winter clothes, so that the winter clothes can get dirty more slowly.

It just so happened that Fang brought someone over to deliver winter clothes, and asked Chen Xingyan to check and accept them one by one.

Mrs. Wang came over to have a look, nodded to Chen Xingyan and said, "These winter clothes are well made and thick to the touch. Every piece is about the same."

This means that no one should be greedy for the cotton.

Chen Xingyan smiled and said, "Auntie, please have some tea. I'll ask Aunt Qi to fetch some things. Please sit down for a while."

Fang is not in a hurry, but with such a small salary, she is naturally not afraid of Chen Xingyan's repudiation.

Not long after, Qi Shi and Chang Pu came in with some rough cloth.

These few bolts of coarse cloth are all gray, and they feel thick just by looking at them.

"Auntie, what do you think of this smock?"

Fang followed her gaze to look at Qi, only then did he notice something different.

No wonder she felt that the Qi family was different just now, most likely the clothes were different from theirs.

Chen Xingyan asked Qi to turn around, and Fang finally saw the way, "Isn't this just an apron?"

"Well, it's about the same. I changed the length a little bit, and I made a drawstring here on the cuff, so that it is warm in winter and won't stain the sleeves inside."

Because there is no rubber band, Chen Xingyan made a drawstring on the cuff. Before wearing it, he made a gesture to measure the size of his wrist, and then tied it in advance. After putting it on, the effect of the cuff is similar to using an elastic band. It is tightened, which is convenient for working and avoids staining clothes.

"Yo, this is good!"

Fang Shi circled around Qi Shi with a look of surprise, praising her again and again.

"Auntie, I'm still thinking about making another [-] pieces of these gowns. By the way, there are also these red threads. When the time comes, you can find a skilled craftsman to embroider a few words on these gowns."

What Chen Xingyan wanted to embroider was Ruyifang, so that people would know that it belonged to their family just by looking at the clothes.

Fang originally thought that after finishing this batch of winter clothes, it would be over, but she didn't expect that there would be a follow-up.

This is something to give her face, so she naturally has no reason not to agree.

"Sure, no problem! How many days?"

"This smock is simple, Auntie, please make fifteen pieces for me first, can it be done in three days?"

Fang thought about it carefully, there should be no problem with the hand, and the smock is indeed simple, it is not difficult to make a circle and then embroider the words.

"Okay, at worst, I'll find a few more people."

"Auntie, how much do I pay for this smock?"

Fang was very happy to see her asking for his opinion again.

She is not only the wife of the village chief, but also a member of the Lu clan and Chen Xingyan's elder. Seeing that Chen Xingyan is willing to support her like this, she naturally feels that this niece and daughter-in-law are sensible.

"This smock is simple. If a lady with a quick hand can make it, she can make two pieces a day."

After Fang finished speaking, he took a closer look at the smock, and found that there was a cloth pocket in the front of the smock, and Qi put some things he often used in it, such as a comb, and a Really, there is also a sewing kit.

Tsk tsk, this thing is really ingenious.

"Although this thing seems simple, you may be a little unfamiliar with what you are doing at the beginning, mainly because of the cutting."

Chen Xingyan smiled: "Auntie, to tell you the truth, these forty smocks are just what I asked for in the early stage, and there will be more later. I'm just worried that you don't have enough manpower here, so I dare not say."

Fang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Are you serious? How many more are you going to make?"

Chen Xingyan said with a smile: "It's hard to say, at least a few hundred pieces. I asked Da Xiong to buy all this cloth, and it's in the warehouse. I'm in a hurry, so I'll make it for the people in my workshop first." After they come out, the next ones are going to be sent to the county, so it’s just a matter of making a batch first to see if they can pass the test in terms of craftsmanship.”

"Okay, okay, how about this, the clothes are simple, and a smock costs five cents, do you think it's okay?"

Chen Xingyan nodded. This price was still within her expectations.

When I first made winter clothes, because one set consisted of two pieces, one set was counted as [-] Wen.

Now this smock looks quite big, but actually it only needs to sew the sides, put a pocket in the middle, and sew a few ropes on it.

So it is very simple to calculate.

A set of winter clothes can be made for three days, and you can earn [-] Wen.

But this smock is simple, not to mention too fast, one and a half can be made in one day, and three can be made in two days, earning fifteen yuan, so the price is still very fair.

"Okay, just do as my aunt says."

Fang looked at the smock again with a smile, and then Qi took it off in front of her, "This is a sample made by our young lady, the village chief's wife can take it back and have a look, and then do it as a comparison. .”

"Okay! My niece and daughter-in-law are thoughtful!"

The corners of Fang's mouth were almost grinning to the sky.

Especially Qi's 'Mrs. Village Chief', but calling her made her feel very happy.

Chen Xingyan asked someone to withdraw the money, because he knew that the money would be redistributed to the women, so Chen Xingyan specially prepared copper coins.

"Hey, Mrs. Xiong, why is there an extra twenty Wen? This is not right!"

Chen Xingyan didn't speak, and Qi's on the side said: "This is specially prepared by our lady for you, and it's recruited, and it's sent here with help. Everything here can't be separated from your care. This can be regarded as our lady's hard work for you." Money. If you think it’s too little, our lady will make it up next time.”

This Qi family is too good at talking, how can Fang's dislike the lack of money?

She thinks it's completely unnecessary!

She helped find people to assign jobs, mainly to save face.

"No, no, how can I collect this money, take it back!"
