A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career
Chapter 235: Tailor-made clothes
It takes at least three feet of fabric to make a dress. The worst homespun cloth in the shop costs more than 20 pennies per foot. Add in the horribly expensive cotton core, and a winter coat costs three to four hundred pennies. .
Many people in the village have not made new clothes for several years, let alone winter clothes with cotton cores.
But now, who would have thought that working in a sugar factory would get free clothes.
Where can I find such a good thing?
Chen Changsheng cleared his throat and said to everyone, "Everyone is divided into two groups and measured separately. Xiaochuan and Chunya, please go and measure the body size of the big guys."
Several women and young girls couldn't wait to step forward, smiling and raising their hands and arms to let Chun Ya measure their figures.
The men also lined up one by one to come forward and have Liu Chuan measured in turn.
After Chunya finished measuring the three women, Aunt Zhao, who was fourth in line, refused to step forward.
"Aunt Zhao, it's your turn. Come closer and I'll measure it for you."
Aunt Zhao took two steps, but still hesitated.
Chen Changsheng heard the commotion here and came over to ask, "Aunt Zhao, don't worry, these clothes are made for you for free, you don't have to spend any money."
When she saw Chun Ya's eyes, she suddenly understood, and then said with a smile, "Auntie, don't you want new clothes?"
Several women nearby immediately persuaded her, "Aunt Zhao, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you go and get measured?"
"That's right, there is no shop like this after passing this village. I don't even want new clothes. I'm stupid! Go, go."
Being pushed by several people, Aunt Zhao had no choice but to step forward and raise her arms honestly.
Chunya first measured the shoulder width, sleeve length, and finally measured the bust and waist before walking to Chen Changsheng and whispering a few words.
Aunt Zhao also hurriedly put down her arms, covered her stomach and returned to the team.
After everyone's figures were measured, Chen Changsheng walked to the front and clapped his hands, asking everyone to come and gather.
"Everyone's body size has been measured. When it is ready, one will be given to everyone."
The crowd applauded.
"In addition, our sugar factory has been very profitable during this period. It is difficult to sell the scraps cut off from the sugar cubes in the city, so we simply keep them and give them welfare to everyone. They only cost seven cents per pound. "
Everyone exclaimed again.
Brown sugar in shops in the county town costs twelve cents per catty. When there are many people buying during the New Year holidays, the price will rise to fourteen or fifteen cents per catty.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many people visiting relatives, so buying some brown sugar to treat relatives and friends is a great face. The villagers are hesitant to go to the city to buy it.
Now Chen Changsheng only needs seven cents per catty here. Although it is scraps, you can take it home and grind it into fine powder, and you can eat it yourself or give it to others.
Who would say no to something so cheap?
Immediately, a dozen people raised their hands and said they wanted to buy it.
"I know that everyone works in the workshop every day. With the fragrance of sugar pressing in your nose, you can't help but be greedy and maybe sneak a piece or two." Chen Changsheng said, slowly fading his smile.
Several people below heard this and their faces turned red.
Indeed, they had just come to work and smelled the scent of sugar every day. It was a lie to say that they were not greedy, and they even ate a piece secretly.
"I can understand that you are greedy if you steal something once, and I will forgive you once. But if you steal food every day and take it with you, then it is theft. If it is serious, you can report it to the official."
Chen Changsheng's expression slowed down and he spoke slowly, "Today, for the sake of all of us being in the same village, as long as we are willing to stand up and admit our mistakes, I will no longer pursue the case, otherwise..."
The atmosphere below suddenly became heavy, and more than a dozen people looked at each other in shock.
Finally, two men and a woman slowly walked out of the crowd.
A man in charge of juicing said with a red face, "I...I admit that on my first day at work, I couldn't help but take a sip of sugar cane juice."
"When I was making sugar, I was fascinated and secretly took a spoonful of syrup and drank it."
"I also secretly picked up a piece of candy and ate it... Dafu Niang, it was my lard that deceived your heart. You can deduct it from my wages. I don't dare to do it anymore!"
"That's right, it will also be deducted from our wages! We will never dare to steal it again!"
After the three people finished speaking, they lowered their heads deeply and listened to Chen Changsheng's words.
Chen Changsheng said with a stern face, "I just said that if you are willing to stand up and admit your mistakes, and because you are greedy for stealing, I will not pursue the three of you this time. Of course, I can't let it go easily, just like As you said, ten cents will be deducted from your wages as a warning."
The three people were relieved, and they all exhaled and thanked Chen Changsheng profusely.
Just don't drive them out of the workshop.
Liu Chuan looked at the other workers one by one, and Chunya walked directly to Aunt Zhao and stared at her blankly.
Aunt Zhao was a little uncomfortable, "Liu, Mrs. Liu Chuan, what do you think I'm doing? I, I didn't take any candy. Instead, it's you. Aunt Chen asked you to come over to supervise the work. You can't do things well on your own, so let those three Someone stole something.”
She turned to look at Chen Changsheng and suggested, "If things are so unfavorable, why not change people early? I just happened to call my family to come over and help."
Chunya's eyes widened in anger, this Aunt Zhao could really talk when she opened her mouth. Not only did she not admit that she stole things, she even criticized her, saying that she did not supervise the work properly and allowed others to take advantage of her.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said to a woman next to him, "I would also like to ask Sister-in-law Qing'er to do a favor and check Third Aunt Zhao's clothes."
Third Aunt Zhao was anxious, took a step back and said in disbelief, "Dafu Niang, why don't you believe me, instead of trusting an outsider?"
"It was you who stole it. I saw you grab a handful and hide it inside the clothes at noon. I thought you grabbed a handful and that was enough, but I didn't expect you just took it again!" Chunya vowed, "Sister-in-law Qing'er, you Just search her clothes."
When she was just measuring Aunt Zhao's body, she felt that there was something bulging in her belly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qing'er's Wife immediately stepped forward and put her hand into Aunt Zhao's arms. Aunt Zhao immediately began to twist and struggle as she was not willing to be searched obediently.
Everyone saw a pack of oil paper falling out of her clothes.
Sister-in-law Qing'er quickly picked up the paper bag from the ground and opened it to see that it was neatly cut into pieces of candy.
"It's really you!"
"It's really Mrs. Zhao!"
"That pack of oil paper contains probably two kilograms and more than twenty pennies. And according to Liu Chuan's wife, this isn't the first time!"
"Why did Sister-in-law Zhao San do such a thing..."
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Sister-in-law Zhao stopped struggling and took out two more small paper packets from her sleeves, "Dafu Niang, what you just said is that as long as you admit your mistakes, you will no longer pursue them.
Now that you have found out and investigated, I will just return all the candy bars and never eat them secretly again. It will be fine! "
