The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 20



After thanking Shopkeeper Li, they decided to go to the affordable Chenjia Clothing Store first.

Before a few people got close, they saw that there was a special deal on treated fabrics at the door. However, a few people came relatively late and there were not many treated fabrics left.

The one on the left is stained muslin, and there are only the last two pieces left, one is sky blue and the other is navy blue. The board on the side has 80 yuan written on it.

Grandma Ye and Mother Ye touched it. This fine cotton cloth was relatively soft and well-woven. However, there were many stained areas and it could not be worn outside at all.

"The fabric is good, but there are too many stained areas." Ye Mu thinks the fabric is quite comfortable, but it's a pity that it can't be worn out.

"The price is even cheaper than fine linen. Although it can't be worn out, it can be used as a lining."

Children's skin is relatively tender, so this fine cotton cloth is just right for making undergarments for several grandchildren.

Hearing the noise outside, shopkeeper Chen quickly came out. "Auntie is right. Although this fine cotton has a lot of stains, the quality is unparalleled. It is both comfortable and durable when used as a lining."

Grandma Ye asked Mother Ye: "Do you want it? If so, I can give you one."

Seeing that Ye Qingqing had no objection, Mother Ye agreed: "You want what you want, children are very adventurous. Originally, I came here today to buy them fabrics to make new clothes, and this fabric was just used to make inner clothes. "

"Two pieces of cloth for 150 yuan. We want both pieces of cloth."

"The regular-priced muslin cloths are all 160 Wen per piece. These fabrics are sold at half price because they are dyed. Originally, they couldn't be more discounted. I also like my aunt, so I will give you 150 Wen as a favor to my aunt."

The fabrics with less stained areas had been snatched up long ago, but these two pieces of fabric had too many stained areas. No one came to buy them for a long time, and shopkeeper Chen didn't want these two batches of fabrics to fall into his hands.

"Auntie, there are some damp burlaps here, also sold at half price. See if you can use them."

There are three pieces of burlap in the open space on the other side, one in ginger, one in gray, and one in navy.

Most people in the county wear fine linen and cheesecloth, and very few people wear burlap. This batch of burlap had been backlogged in the warehouse for a long time. When cleaning the warehouse, it was found that it was all damp. Shopkeeper Ye could only dispose of it at a low price.

The regular-priced burlap is 90 Wen per piece, but this damp burlap is only 45 Wen per piece. This linen looks pretty good at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that it is not well woven and has many broken threads. , but this time there is nothing to be picky about at this price.

Mother Ye asked for the ginger-yellow piece of burlap, intending to use it to make a coat. Grandma Ye, her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law wanted the remaining two pieces of cloth. Then several people went into the cloth shop to look at the needlework and silk fabrics for embroidery.

Chenjia Embroidery Shop takes the affordable route, focusing on small profits but quick turnover. The best silk fabrics and embroidery threads in the store are only above average in the opinion of Ye Mu and Grandma Ye, but the prices are indeed relatively favorable, much cheaper than those bought in the town.

Li bought the best embroidery thread and silk cloth in the store, planning to use them to embroider pictures. Ye Qingqing looked at it and wanted the best embroidery thread and silk cloth.

Ye's mother originally thought that Ye Qingqing's embroidery skills hadn't been fully developed yet, so she didn't want to buy her such good embroidery threads and silk fabrics. However, she thought that since her child wanted to do more embroidery, she must support her, and then Ye's mother made a big move. I bought two sets for Ye Qingqing, enough for her to do embroidery for several months.

Seeing shopkeeper Chen happily packing a large bag of embroidery thread and silk cloth, Ye Qingqing suddenly realized that he had dug a hole to bury himself.

Ye Qingqing looked at Ye Mu carefully. If she said she didn't want these embroidery threads and silk cloth now, would Ye Mu agree? After thinking for a moment, he swallowed his words cowardly.

As soon as Ye's mother saw Ye Qingqing's tangled expression, she knew what she was thinking. She pretended not to know and quickly gave the money to shopkeeper Chen.

Before leaving, I felt that this was not very friendly to my daughter, so I bought another piece of purple linen to make clothes for myself and my daughter, and also to comfort my daughter.

When paying, shopkeeper Chen enthusiastically gave each of the four people a pack of rags. Ye Chen's Cloth Shop has a lot of customers, and there are a lot of rags every day. The rags are ordinary fabrics and not valuable. Shopkeeper Chen just gives them away.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen. Shopkeeper Chen doesn't need to give it away. Next time we come to the county, we will come to your house to buy fabrics." Several people happily left Chenjia Cloth Store carrying large and small bags.

The embroidery thread and silk embroidery cloth at Chenjia Cloth Shop could not meet Ye Mu's requirements, and she still wanted to visit Yangjia Cloth Shop. After coming out of Chenjia Buzhuang, Ye Mu proposed that she want to go to Yangjia Buzhuang.

Yangjia Cloth Shop is indeed the largest cloth shop in the county. It has a rich supply of embroidery threads and fabrics, including several types of high-quality embroidery threads and silk fabrics.

The quality of the fabrics and embroidery threads here was very good, but they were really expensive. Mother Ye gritted her teeth and bought the best silk fabrics, gold threads and some other high-quality embroidery threads.

The embroidery thread and donated cloth that Li bought at Chenjia Cloth Store cost just over one tael of silver, while the embroidery thread and silk cloth that Ye Mu bought at Yangjia Cloth Store cost a total of three taels of silver. The mother's hands were shaking.

The shopkeeper saw that what Ye Mu bought were all high-quality embroidery threads and silk embroidery cloths, and knew that Ye Mu must be good at embroidery and might become a frequent customer of the cloth shop in the future.

The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and brought a small piece of patterned muslin cloth to Ye Mu. The cloth was not big but the pattern on it was very beautiful, so it must be quite expensive.

"This fabric is leftover. It's not big enough to make a top for a little girl. The color is nice and it's just right for a little girl."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yang."

Mother Ye took the cloth and couldn't help but touch the pattern on the door carefully. This was the first time she saw patterned cloth. The pattern was so beautiful.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yang."

Ye Qingqing really couldn't put it down. Little girls love beauty. Clothes made from such beautiful fabric will definitely look better.

After coming out of Yangjia Buzhuang, Grandma Ye said she wanted to see the old sisters who married in the county.

When this old sister was young, she was an embroiderer working in the embroidery workshop with Grandma Ye, and later she married into the county town. The two lost contact after Grandma Ye didn't come to the county town to sell embroidery. The two hadn't seen each other for many, many years, and it was just a good time to go see her this time.

Grandma Ye has a good relationship with the old sister, and she probably wants to leave some food, so Ye’s mother can’t go with her. In addition, Ye Qingqing is still thinking about the stalls of Mr. Ye and Father Ye, so she urges her mother to go find Mr. Ye. My mother had no choice but to leave with Grandma Ye and the others.

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing accompanied Grandma Ye to the snack shop and bought two kilograms of snacks, and then went to the butcher shop to buy a kilogram of pork belly. Then Ye's mother and Ye Qingqing went to find Ye's father and the others, and made an appointment with Grandma Ye to wait at the place where the donkey cart was kept after finishing the work.
