Chapter 87 High-end Route
Xia Qiyue quickly calculated in her heart, one foot is 33 centimeters wide, how long is it... She looked at the piece of cloth, which was 1.4 meters in size, so that one foot of cloth could be cut out...

She calculated in her heart, according to the size of the halva, cut a suitable square of fabric, and got a ribbon to tie it, so how many pieces can be produced per foot of fabric...

Finally, when the shopkeeper was getting impatient, she finally figured it out and threw out the fabric for making rope. One foot of fabric can cut at least 140 small pieces.

That is to say, one piece of cloth produces 28 small pieces of sugar coating, and if there are fifty sugar pieces per catty, it can also pack [-] catties.

The price of crisp candy in her heart is one tael of silver per catty. If calculated in this way, 28 catties is 28 taels. Even with the packaging fee of two taels, she still makes a lot of money.

So cruelly, he stretched out a finger, "One liang of silver, the shopkeeper, I'll buy it for one liang of silver!"

The shopkeeper glared at her as if he saw a fool, turned around and was about to put the cloth away, "I won't sell it without two taels of silver!"

This posture is really not worried about selling. "My piece of satin is just here. If it wasn't for something at home that didn't open yesterday, it would have been sold a long time ago! Why did you wait until now?"

Xia Qiyue tried to lower the price, but the shopkeeper ignored her at all.

In the end, I had no choice but to reluctantly spend two taels of silver to buy it, because this is the key to whether her Sutang can take the high-end route, and she has to do so.

Passing by the market on the way home, she saw small and exquisite baskets selling baskets, so she bought some more and prepared to pack the packaged crispy candies.

She started cutting the icing when she got back. Hurry up and find a buyer before dark. She doesn't know much about Maoshan Town yet. The only person she knows now is the rich Tang Yuanwai.

Fortunately, my younger sister, Xia Jiuyue, was dexterous, not to mention cutting the sugar coating very neatly, and after wrapping it up, tying the ropes was such a beautiful pattern.

On the other hand, the younger brother is not good. He has rough hands and feet, not only can't wrap it well, but also can't fasten it well.

However, Xia Xinghe was not idle, and carefully observed the small and exquisite baskets that the elder sister bought back. The baskets are made of wicker as a whole, but surrounded by a circle of brightly colored and beautiful floral cloth, not to mention how expensive the cloth is. , can make those floral cloths into various flower shapes, the hands are not ordinary, and the handle is also wrapped with various floral cloths, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

The handle looks very tacky in Xia Qiyue, but this is what children and those girls who are not out of line like most.

The things are beautiful and the price is not expensive. Xia Qiyue picked several of them, and they almost wrapped up.

The person who sold the basket was a woman in her thirties, she was very happy at that time, and even gave an extra pawn.

Baskets come in different sizes, the largest one can hold three catties of halva, and the smallest can hold one catty.

Xia Qiyue buried her head in learning how to tie sugar coats with her younger sister. She was dazzled by all kinds of tricks, so she didn't pay much attention to what her younger brother was doing, but Xia Xinghe said abruptly next to the two of them.

"I can also weave this basket, but I won't make the flowers and plants on it!"

Xia Qiyue raised her head from the icing, "Can you weave a basket?"

Xia Xinghe nodded, "Yes! When I was at home, I learned from my father. I made the egg basket at home! But that is made of bamboo strips, and there seems to be no bamboo here."

"It's all the same! If you know how to do it, you can take off the wicker and try it! If you know how to do it yourself, you don't need to buy it, and you can save a lot of money!"

Xia Qiyue doesn't feel low now. Could it be that her halva is too expensive and no one buys it?At that time, the halva will not be wasted, and the big deal is to eat it by yourself, but the packaging will be wasted!

It cost so much money to buy it, and the money spent on fabrics and baskets is enough to feed the five of them for two months.

"Sister, give me the flowers and plants on it! When the time comes, buy some colorful fabrics, and I will make them! You don't need to buy such expensive fabrics. You see, the fabrics on this basket may be scraps from the cloth shop. When we were at home, my mother and I often used leftover materials to make things for sale, but we never went to the cloth shop to buy them in person, so we don’t know the price..."

Xia Jiuyue kept moving her hands, and after raising her eyes, she said easily.

"Okay, then go to the cloth shop when you are free, buy fabrics and needlework, Xinghe will get wicker, and I will leave the carrying basket to you two!" Xia Qiyue said happily, "It's all right now, this matter is fully arranged It’s full, there’s no time to rest at all!”

The siblings said that they didn't want to rest, and it was unexpected for them to survive on the way to escape with a full stomach.

The eldest sister worked hard day and night for them, how could they rest and not work for the sake of rest.

Xia Qiyue was also relieved to know that the two brothers and sisters were grateful for their kindness.

Although she had already made up her mind to bring her younger brother and sister to a safe place just for the sake of the original owner's face, but the two of them were really good, which made her even more relieved.

Although Ke'er is also a girl, she is only three years old, even though she is sensible early, she can only play now.

The two children ate, ate apples, and halva, and now they are playing in the yard contentedly, without doing anything.

From their point of view, the present day is like that of a fairy. Children don't know too much, they just think it's better to live with their mother than to live with their grandparents.

Niangqin is the best person in the world to them.

In fact, after there is no shortage of water, the life of the refugees has improved a lot. Although it is still precarious, it is still passable to bear it. Now not only can I drink enough water, but I also have a meal of porridge in the morning. There are many men in the family. starving.

Just like the sons of the patriarch's family, it is also a way of life to go forward to chop firewood and sell it.

Because Maoshan Town is a town in the north, it is very cold in winter, and firewood is the best seller in autumn.

As long as you are willing to endure hardships and go up the mountain to cut firewood, you will not lose your money.

What Xia Qiyue didn't expect was that it took a long time to pack the candies, and they did nothing else for almost an afternoon. The two sisters sat there and kept wrapping the candies.

There were ten catties in total, and one catty was kept by Xia Qiyue, except for eating it for himself, it would be used as a sample for others to try.

There were about 450 nine catties of candy, and they had to pack them all afternoon. Although it was expensive, it was also laborious.

"Okay, take your time with the remaining few minutes. I'll make dinner. We have to leave after dinner!" Xia Qiyue stretched her waist and stood up.

Now that she has the conditions, she just wants to eat three meals to replenish her body, and she doesn't know when she will have to run around again.

The sky in autumn was originally dark early, after all this trouble, it was almost dark when Xia Qiyue made a simple dinner and came out.

The five of them ate quickly, and Xia Qiyue put all the packaged crispy candies into baskets and divided them, put them in the space, locked the door and walked out of town.

In this way, when we got to the shed, it was already pitch black and we couldn't see anything.

An Wangshi has been looking back and forth worriedly at her home, and those who don't know think she is Xia Qiyue and the others' mother.
