Chapter 38 Making clothes in town

Damian went out and took a look into the distance. His eyes were good, not to mention that he could see as clearly as in the daytime, but he could still see ordinary things clearly.

Don't be afraid that you won't be able to see it in the ditch, so take a walk around the mountain.

It's easy to catch pheasants at night, and if you catch one, you won't run away.

Suddenly thinking of someone who said he was out of the ditch, he couldn't help but wonder who beat the mentally handicapped.

Such a beautiful flower, I am willing to do it.

Presumably, a woman would be willing to strike after seeing that mentally retarded face, so it must be a man who strikes.

If it was a man who made the shot, if the opponent's face was not pleasing to the eye, he would probably slap him in the face?But there was only one face left that could still be seen, so it wasn't the face's fault.

But for some reason, Da Yan felt that his face was to blame.

"Big smoke? Why did you come out?" Xu Laosan didn't leave, squatting outside the fence gate.

Damian paused, turned his head to look over, and said, "I know you haven't left, so I'll come out and tell you, let you go back first, I might have to take care of you until dawn if you're seriously injured."

Xu Laosan asked: "What happened to the injury?"

Da Yan said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there are not many good places on the whole body except the soles of the feet and the feet."

Third Xu: "..."

It's not a big deal?Xu Laosan was a little confused.

I have never studied medicine, so don't lie to me.

Xu Dayan waved his paws, and said with a relaxed expression: "At least I didn't hurt my head. The little injury on my body didn't hurt my bones. It's much lighter than the injury on my skull."

So don't worry, now that you're done washing, go back to sleep quickly.

Xu Laosan felt guilty when he heard the words, and asked embarrassingly: "Then did you let the doctor see the injury on your head?"

Xu Dayan stretched out his claws: "Do you have silver? Bring it!"

Xu Laosan rubbed his head, with a simple face: "No, let the doctor look at it first, your master just opened his mouth, and will let you pay the money."

Xu Dayan: "Hehe."

Third Xu: "..."

Si Nizi laughed so hard, I'll wait for you, and I'll go back and ask for money now.

Xu Laosan threw down the word "waiting" and turned around and ran away. Xu Dayan curled his lips and turned his head and went to the mountain.

After more than half an hour, Dayan carried a wild boar and five pheasants back, and threw them into the yard.Regardless of whether the wild boar or the pheasant is alive, I plan to keep the pheasant for food, and sell the wild boar in the town for money.

Master Jiu, no, it's Master Jiao!

I don't know where Master Jiao went to spend the day, not to mention that the original long gown was gone, even the gray skirt that he was wearing had become tattered, he had to buy two sets of clothes.

She was the one who caught the man, so she should be responsible.

"Smelly girl, take it easy, your head is still hurt, don't risk your own life for a brat." The old doctor came out after hearing the voice, and when he saw a wild boar, he disapproved. Think big smoke is courting death.

"Don't worry, I'm more afraid of death than anyone else." Dayan kicked the wild boar, and said indifferently: "I jumped on the tree to catch the pheasant. This guy popped up out of nowhere, and he stepped on it to death when he jumped down."

The old doctor took a closer look at the wild boar. The fatal wound was on the head, and the whole body was wounded there, but no matter how you looked at it, it was not trampled to death, so he immediately rolled his eyes: "Where are you lying to ghosts?"

Da Yan: "Hehe, he was killed by moving a big rock."

The old doctor: "..."

Well, it's stupid, let's pretend he didn't say anything.

Damian thought, Xu's family should be asleep at this time, and they probably wouldn't leave the door for her, so they didn't go back at all, and borrowed the rest from the old doctor's medicine.

I didn't really sleep, I meditated and practiced, and all the spiritual power I got was used to heal my head.

Another night passed, and the injury felt much better again. It wouldn't hurt because of the joy of jumping, but I couldn't press it hard enough, and I had to be careful not to touch it.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he stopped practicing and went to the town with the wild boar on his shoulders.

The whole wild boar was sold for [-] renminbi a catty, and [-] jin and [-] jin wild boars were sold for [-] renminbi. I thought I could buy some good cloth, but I didn't expect the cloth to be so expensive.

Hard-bound hemp cloth costs 120 cents a foot, which is the same price as a wild boar. Low-grade cotton cloth costs [-] cents a foot, medium-grade cotton cloth costs [-] cents, and high-grade cotton cloth costs [-] cents a foot.

It is said that there are too few cotton growers, which is why cotton cloth is so expensive.

Silk and satin are even more expensive, and there are only two or three bolts in the cloth shop for town shops, and it is not likely to sell a single bolt a year.

Touching the hemp cloth, although it has been made very thin, it still reminds Dayan of a hemp sack.

It doesn't take much manual labor to make a set of clothes. If you don't need embroidery, a set only costs [-] to [-] Wen.

It's not that Dayan doesn't know how to make clothes, it's just that he is too lazy to do it, so he simply asks Buzhuang to do it well.

The mid-padded gowns I asked for for Mrs. Jiao didn’t make long gowns, only two bunts, the kind that just covered the buttocks, a set with dark blue borders and light blue bottom, a set of solid color Tsing Yi, and a proper mud leg style.

As for Da Yan himself, he ordered a high-quality cotton skirt, pink and so cute.I also ordered a pair of mid-cotton bunts, green ones, to wear when going up the mountain.

This alone cost Dayan more than one and a half taels of silver. I wanted to put away the remaining three taels of silver, but after thinking about it, I bought a few more clothes.

The mid-cotton clothes I bought for Shan's three daughters were all made of bunts, and I bought two sets for each of them, and I bought two sacks for Xu Laosan... oh no... it is a solid sackcloth that is forbidden to wear, and it is also a bunt.

In this way, there was only less than five renminbi silver left, and Da Yan couldn't help sighing, a pig's money was almost spent in this way, I really couldn't help it.

Clothes are so expensive, no wonder they are new for three years, old for three years, sewn and mended for another three years.

With six qian in his pocket, he went to the blacksmith shop again, thinking about buying a pocket knife.

When I asked, Peat Lie, a broken knife with a palm length of two and a half fingers, unexpectedly cost four qian.

It's so expensive, why not grab it.

The old blacksmith looks like you want it or not. This kind of knife is very sharp, and it is most suitable for tearing apart flesh and blood.Regardless of its small size, it uses as much material as a kitchen knife, and it takes a lot of effort to make one, and five renminbi is not much at all.

For less than this money, he would rather hang it as a decoration.

Xu Dayan was speechless. After buying the knife, he only had 71 coins left.He pulled the purse, sighed, and turned his head back to the cloth shop.

The clothes are almost ready, so Da Yan simply sits and waits.

"Shopkeeper, there is less than one foot of high-quality cotton cloth left, I'm afraid it's not very easy to sell." When the assistant cut the cloth for Dayan, he found that there was not much left of the cloth.

The shopkeeper was hesitant to cut it off, and if he kept it, someone might buy it all, and what's more, the leftovers were always easy to be rejected by others.

Xu Dayan squinted at the past, and saw that it had grown more than 20 centimeters, and it was indeed not very easy to sell.

"Give it to me if it doesn't sell well." Xu Dayan just said.

The shopkeeper smiled: "If the girl needs it, I don't mind buying half and giving it to the girl."

　I wish you all a happy Double Eleven!
