After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 63 Take Grandma to the Shop (Tip and update)
Mrs. Gu took out the bib from her sleeve: "Can you help me see how the embroidery on this bib looks like, can you get it out?"

In addition to selling cloth and ready-made clothes, this embroidery workshop also sells some embroidery products, such as handkerchiefs and purses, but these embroidery products are difficult to sell.

Unless it is a good harvest year, when everyone can eat enough and have clothes to wear, they will think of buying these fancy but useless things.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "If it was the year before last, I would have accepted this bib for two cents, but not this year. People in the village would not come here to buy bibs on purpose. People in the town would go to buy food if they had spare money. This thing is very difficult." sell away……"

The old lady Gu showed a smile on her face: "What the shopkeeper means is that the craftsmanship of this embroidery is not bad, and it can be sold at a normal age, right?"

The shopkeeper nodded, this female red is actually not bad, the main reason is that the fabric is too poor, it is still made of rags, if it is replaced with silk and satin fine cloth, the price will be higher.

The old lady Gu is satisfied, it can't be a year of disaster forever, and when the days go well, she will let Meng'er do this job exclusively.

The old man finished her work and was about to leave, but Gu Qing grabbed her.

"Since we're here, let's buy some cloth. It's autumn soon. Gu Yu and Gu Nuo have grown taller. I can't wear last year's autumn shirts, so I have to make them all over again." Gu Qing pulled the old lady Gu to pick out cloth, "Grandma, what color do you like, grandpa, can black be okay?"

Old Madam Gu frowned: "Didn't you buy it for Yang Pei's husbands?"

Gu Qing lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry about theirs. Is the fabric I gave you last time okay? Let's buy some autumn and winter fabrics and go back to make some thick clothes. I think this gray one is very suitable for grandma. , give the black one to Grandpa, sixteen feet of cloth for each person, and each make an inner jacket and an outer shirt..."

This is the lowest grade of coarse cloth, two coins per foot, a total of 36 coins. Mrs. Gu knows that her eldest granddaughter has money, and these copper coins are nothing. The old couple buys cloth... Ever since the eldest couple died, she never thought that her eldest granddaughter could honor their old couple. As long as she can raise Yuer and Nuoer, she will be thankful.

"Grandma, can this piece of cloth be good for Ah Li? The moon-white one looks so pretty and complements your complexion." Gu Qing dangled a piece of cloth in front of the old lady's eyes, "It's just that this piece of cloth is a bit expensive, 100 cents a foot. It costs more than [-] Wen to make a suit, which is too expensive, forget it, let’s replace it with this one that costs [-] Wen per foot, it’s also very pretty.”

The old lady Gu immediately said: "You just buy it for him alone? The other husbands don't care? I think the four husbands-in-law of your family are doing the best work. Come here, don't favor anyone, The four husbands and sons-in-law have to buy it, the money is not enough, but the grandma has it."

Gu Qing laughed a little, "Grandma, I have enough money, don't worry, I will buy it for them!"

Just now the old lady got two taels of silver from selling grain, which sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not forbidden at all. Buying cloth for a family of twelve is a big expense, buying some meat and some salt, the money is like running water... In the next year, if you can save two or three taels of silver, it will be a high incense for your ancestors.

How could Gu Qing use the old lady's money.

I chose cloth of the same price for the four of Yang Pei. These four are scholars, and they should really wear better clothes.

As for other people, it's better to buy ready-made clothes in the mall then.When I went to pay the bill, the total price was two taels of silver.

The old lady Gu twitched in distress: "Country people have rough skin, and coarse cloth is enough. Why buy fine cloth? Isn't this a waste of money..."

The old lady saw that Gu Qing was opening a shop, buying land, and building a house during this time, and she didn't know how the business in her shop was.Spending money so extravagantly, I don't know how to save a little money, the money should be used wisely...

Gu Qing ignored the old lady's distorted face and paid the money happily.

In the past, she didn't dare to spend like this because she didn't have money on the surface. Now that she has money, how can she continue to search and search.

The four major things in life are food, clothing, housing and transportation. Clothing comes second. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, the family doesn’t even have a decent autumn shirt. It’s fine to wear straw sandals in summer, but they have to change into cloth shoes in autumn , People are cold from the bottom of their feet, if they don't protect their feet well, they are prone to get sick all over the body.

Coming out of the embroidery workshop, the old lady Gu said, "It's hard to come to town. I'll go to the butcher's shop to cut a catty of pork and go back to satisfy the children's hunger. You can go too."

Gu Qing covered her face, the twelve members of the old Gu family only bought a catty of pork, and two of them would be gone, and the meat could not be tasted.

Gu Qing said: "Come on, let's go to buy meat first. After buying the meat, I will take Grandma to my shop to have a look. We also happened to go to the shop to have a rest."

The main reason is that she also wants to see the running water of the store during those days. Trust is one thing, but accounts also depend on it.

The two arrived at the butcher shop. There were a lot of people buying meat today. Fortunately, they came early. Gu Qing directly ordered ten catties of meat, and cut half of it for the old lady. Angry, the old lady reluctantly accepted it.

The meat was also bought, and Gu Qing took the old lady to Qinghan's dessert.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw that the store was already full of customers, even the display cabinets at the door were full of people.

Zhu Han was taking out the freshly baked Chiffon Salted Egg Yolk Cake from the back kitchen, the top was still steaming, and the sound of saliva smelt from the smell of the aroma.

Some people even asked why it took so long to come back to open a shop, and why no one was hired for the work in the fields.

Both Zhu Han and Dong Rong explained with a smile, they handled it with ease, not at all as restrained as they were in front of her.

"That's Zhu boy and Dong boy?" Mrs. Gu also looked at it strangely: "These two people are completely different from those at home!"

Before Gu Qing opened her mouth, the old lady went on to say: "The decoration of your shop is really rare, you are the only one in Youshui Town, and your business is also very good, but Qinger, even if If you can make money, you can’t spend it lavishly.”

The business in the store is so good, no wonder the eldest granddaughter has to hire six people, and if no one is hired, the store is really overwhelmed. The six members of Tong's family and Yang Pei are all very busy.

"Got it!" Gu Qing pulled Old Madam Gu and squeezed her in.

"Patriarch! Grandma, you are here!" Yang Pei was the tallest, and he saw the two of them at a glance.

Gu Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Why don't you come to the town with Grandma to exchange food, come and have a look!"

Old Madam Gu looked east and west, my darling, all of them are wealthy daughters and Yunshan students, if it wasn't for her granddaughter who opened this store, she wouldn't dare to come in just with the decoration.
