The Golden County Magistrate

To her surprise, this skirt only cost two taels of silver!

How is this possible!

With this fabric, this handmade, this dyed, this pattern, if you want to make a skirt like this in the capital, you need at least three taels of silver!

It took Tang Yun a while to calm down, and then she turned around and looked at another robe that looked quite luxurious, and she was even more surprised.

According to her judgment, this robe should cost at least five taels of silver.

But the price tag says "five hundred coins"!

Half a tael of silver can buy clothes that are worth five taels of silver in the capital. This is too cheap!

"Aunt Lu, I'm here again!" Lu Qing'er saw a plump woman in her thirties coming to greet her, and said hurriedly.

After that, she whispered to Tang and Li, "Aunt Lu is the best tailor in Qingshan County. My family asks her to make all the clothes."

"Oh, it's Qing'er. Do you have any good ideas for me to do for you?" Aunt Lu greeted her warmly.

"No, there are two more students in my yoga class. I need two more sets of yoga clothes. Please help me sew them. How long will it take?" Lu Qing'er asked.

"Two pieces? Half an hour, right? Are these two?" Aunt Lu answered without thinking and looked at Tang and Li.

"What! Half an hour?!" Both girls were shocked, Tang Yun blurted out.

"If you are in a hurry, it can be faster, but it will take at least three quarters of an hour." Aunt Lu said.

The two girls were dumbfounded.

How could this be possible!

There were imperial dressmakers in the palace, and Tang Yun's clothes were all sewn by them. She herself was curious and went to watch the process of sewing dresses by the craftsmen, and she knew how much effort it took.

Not to mention one hour, ten hours is not enough!

What's more, there are two pieces!

Aunt Lu took out a tape measure and measured the sizes of the two girls, and then went into the inner room.

Lu Qing'er saw the curiosity of the two girls and smiled, "Let's go in and take a look."

As she said that, she followed into the inner room first.

Tang Yun hurriedly followed in.

Behind the shop was a large workshop, where fabrics and clothes were placed and hung everywhere, and there were two large cutting tables.

And what made the two girls most curious was eight sets of peculiarly shaped tables and chairs.

On the table, there was a strange iron thing, and under the table there was a pedal that could be stepped on.

A closer look revealed that there was a needle with thread already threaded in the iron set on the table.

"All the tailors in my shop have gone home now, so I'll do it for you myself." Aunt Lu said as she rolled up her sleeves and tied on her apron, and started working on the cutting table.

She was skilled, and in a short while, she had cut large and small silk pieces of cloth in various shapes.

Then she took the pieces of cloth and sat on one of the chairs, stacked the edges of the two pieces of cloth together, and placed them under the needle.

"What is this?" Tang Yun couldn't help asking.

"Miss Zhou hasn't seen it yet, right? This is a sewing machine." Lu Qing'er explained.

"What is a sewing machine?" Tang Yun's eyes widened when she heard it.

Before Lu Qing'er could explain, Aunt Lu had already started to move, her feet were like a wind and fire wheel, and the needle on it was quickly stabbed down and raised, and in a blink of an eye, the two pieces of cloth had been sewn together!

Tang and Li were both stunned, staring at Aunt Lu skillfully adjusting the position of the silk and continuing to sew quickly.

As the needle flew and the thread danced, the cut pieces of fabric were sewn together, and at an incredibly fast speed, a yoga top was quickly made.

"This... this..." Li Rui stuttered, unable to say a complete sentence.

It was so shocking!

This sewing speed was simply incredible!

And it was all because of that magical sewing machine!

Soon, the first set of yoga clothes was sewn.

Tang Yun couldn't wait to take it to the fitting room to change, and when she came out, Li Rui's eyes lit up.

This dress is simply the best thing to set off a woman's beautiful figure, perfectly outlining the curves of the emperor!

"How is it?" Tang Yun asked.

"It fits me perfectly!" Li Rui said sincerely, "This is the first time I feel that the boss is so feminine!"

Tang Yun glared at her, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Clothes make the man.

She usually wears clothes that are noble, but there are few clothes that can fully show the figure of a woman like this.

After all, her energy is on national affairs, not on these.

Now that she suddenly changed her clothes, it was quite fresh.

"Is it comfortable to wear?" Lu Qing'er asked.

"It's really not bad." Tang Yun nodded. Although she was a little shy, this set of yoga clothes that only took two quarters of an hour to sew was no less comfortable than the handmade ones in the palace.clothes.

In addition, silk itself is quite elastic, with appropriate tightness. After a few movements, it feels more convenient to move than the clothes I usually wear.

"Then wear it when you practice yoga in the future!" Lu Qing'er said with a smile.

"How much silver is it in total? I'll pay." Tang Yun said and went to get her purse.

"No need, Miss Zhou is our big customer, I'll pay for this." Lu Qing'er stopped her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Chen." Tang Yun was not the kind of person who was entangled in these small amounts of money, so she thanked her.

"No wonder the ready-made clothes here are so cheap, it turns out to be because of that magical sewing machine." Li Rui sighed, "With it, a person can make at least a dozen ready-made clothes in a day."

Tang Yun felt the same way.

The production of ready-made clothes takes time, but the sewing machine can greatly increase the production speed, which naturally reduces the labor cost.

"That's just one aspect. The main cost of ready-made clothes is still fabric and dyeing."

"In order to let ordinary people in Qingshan County realize the freedom to buy clothes, the master not only made sewing machines, but also tried to lower the cost of fabric and dye."

"In addition, silver subsidies were allocated from the county treasury, so that now there are such cheap ready-made clothes for people to buy."

Lu Qing'er explained.

Tang Yun was surprised and said, "Silver subsidies from the county treasury?!"

Lu Qing'er nodded and said, "Yes, not only clothes, many goods in Qingshan County are subsidized by the county treasury, so that people can buy them with very little money."

Tang Yun's heart was surging and it was difficult to calm down.

I never thought that Chen Yan, who always talked about making money, would use the money he earned to subsidize the people!

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you really surprised me." Tang Yun murmured.

Li Rui, who was standing next to her, was surprised by something else and asked, "Mrs. Chen, you just said that the sewing machine was invented by Mr. Chen? Did I hear that correctly? He also knows about these women's things?"

Lu Qing'er smiled and said, "He knows a lot about women's things, right? Even this yoga suit was made by him!"

As she spoke, her face suddenly turned red.

There are some embarrassing secrets about this yoga suit, but it would be a bit embarrassing to say it out loud...
