Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

A new daughter-in-law in the county town is walking in the streets, holding a small red flower in her hand.She was wearing that dyed linen dress, which her husband bought on the street a few days ago.Wearing lotus-colored hemp clothes on her body, she doesn’t feel hot in the hot weather, and the clothes really match her temperament and figure. Everyone has a love for beauty, and this beautiful clothes can’t help but make her mood change. Cheer up.

He bumped into a young woman of her age who was also married a few months ago.The young woman noticed the new clothes of the new daughter-in-law and couldn't help being a little envious. "Who bought this dress for you?"

Hearing that the young woman had noticed her new clothes, the new daughter-in-law couldn't help but be a little elated: "Who else is there, it's my guy."

The young woman touched the material of the clothes with her hands and admired sincerely: "You are wearing this clothes so beautifully." And it was cool.

The young woman also somewhat listened to the talk. A few days ago, someone came to the county to sell colorful linen clothes, but she didn't expect the weaving to be so beautiful.While admiring, she couldn't help being a little jealous of this new daughter-in-law. Her husband hasn't bought her a decent thing since the marriage, "How much is it?"

"Two hundred words!"

As soon as the young woman heard the price, she felt balanced. How many catties of meat would be bought for two hundred Wen? This family is really good at spending so much money on fancy clothes. "Two hundred cash is a big loss for you! You can buy a sackcloth for a few tens of cash, and if your sackcloth is dyed with knowledge, the dealer will kill you for two hundred cash. It's not worth it, it's really not worth it!"

The young woman felt very uncomfortable when she heard it.Her husband's family is actually not particularly rich.Although two hundred Wen is not a problem for her husband, it is still incomparable with the rich and powerful people in the state capital.

But she noticed the appearance of this young woman, both of them are actually more or less beautiful women, a few days ago, a woman deliberately compared the beauty of the two, and it took a long time to find out who was better.This person relies on the clothes and the horse on the saddle, and now look at it, the dyed linen clothes have added an unknown number of buffs to her appearance, and immediately put this young woman in comparison.After arguing for a long time, this is because the grapes are sour, the young woman thought.

But she still wanted to be "hypocritical": "Hey, the price of this sackcloth is sky-high. At the beginning, I persuaded our family to not listen, but to spend money to buy it for me. The money fell from the sky. He is really inferior to your second master, he is practical and considerate of his family, and he uses his money wisely!"

Young woman: "..."

People in the county spread the benefits of dyed sackcloth everywhere, and the women in colored sackcloth suddenly became the focus of the crowd, for which reason they all showed faint smiles on their faces.They didn't dare to think that they would be treated like this before.Apart from being happy, they felt that the two hundred coins were worth it, and thought that they must love their husband even more in the future.

In less than a few days, all four men's sackcloths at Aunt Qian Dayong's house were bought.

For a while, news of colored linen clothes spread throughout the county, and people who had never seen dyed linen clothes thought it was a rare treasure.They are all very fascinated by the appearance of dyeing.

The women in the village heard about the popularity of dyed linen from other places, and they regretted that they didn't listen to Qiao Qian's persuasion to go to his house to weave linen.At this time, they had the cheek to ask to go to his house to weave linen clothes, and Qiao Jiwei would not refuse anyone, after all, one more person would give more strength.

At one time, half of the women in the village flocked into Qian Dayong's house. They couldn't move around in the yard, so they went outside to weave clothes under the shade of trees.

Qiao Jiwei and Qian Dayong were walking on the road in the village, when a man from the village saw them, he joked, "Dayong, you have so many women coming to your house all at once, and you don't even need to build a wall to let others see them." I thought your family let them stand on the street."

Qian Dayong curled his lips when he heard this, "The mouth is getting more and more out of shape." But after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the truth.Then he began to prepare for the business of building the wall.

Labor is readily available, and the husbands of the weavers are willing to help.At that time, there was a shortage of labor, and every family had a major event, and other families in the village would go to help without charging extra fees. Whether it was a wedding or a funeral, the host family only needed to entertain them with meals. This was called "helper". .The next time something happens to another family, the men in the village will go to that family again.

In this way, the weavers weaved linen clothes in the yard, and the men in the village built the walls at dawn and dusk.Very busy inside and out.

Sometimes the men in the village secretly glanced at their daughter-in-law in the yard. If they were seen by the people around them, they would become a public laughing stock. "Yo! I haven't seen enough after watching it for so many years."

Naturally, the Qian family would not treat them badly when it came to food.Stewed a pot of potatoes and chicken, and fried a few side dishes.Pork is always placed in the dishes, which was unimaginable to the former Qian family.At that time, there was no meat in the dishes of the Qian family for several months.Since Qiao Jiwei was thrown in a sack, the living conditions of the Qian family have greatly improved, and they can eat meat every few days.When the men in the village ate potatoes, they all felt that it was worthwhile to help them this time.They had also heard about how delicious potatoes were before, but they never had the chance to eat them, and this time they said they made up for it.

In less than ten days, the wall was built. When the men saw the four little pigs in the yard, they built a pigsty by the way.They deliberately made the pigsty bigger so that the four pigs could walk freely.

Qiao Jiwei put the four little pigs in.

In the days when the men built the walls, the reputation of the sackcloth became more and more famous in the county, and it became the subject of all people's gossip in the market for a while. Comparable to silk.

Some people also found out that the sackcloth came from the village where Qian Dayong's family lived, so they went to the door to buy the sackcloth in person.But they were blocked by Qiao Jiwei one by one.

The sackcloth must not be sold until a certain day, so let the sackcloth be circulated before then.The wider the spread, the better for him.This is called hunger marketing, and he used it like a duck to water in modern times.

The little girls became anxious when they saw so many people coming and going in Qian's family, Cuihua also urged them to speed up the speed of embroidering the linen clothes.As a result, they were very angry, and the movements of their hands suddenly accelerated.Qiao Jiwei saw the eagerness on their faces and the agile movements of their hands and feet, and hurried forward, adjusting the angle before speaking. Everyone could see that he was smiling when he spoke to her, "Slow down, Can slow work produce fine work?"

Cuihua couldn't help but look worried: "But so many people come to your house..."

Qiao Jiwei's eyelashes twitched, "Let them come, it's up to our family to decide when this sackcloth will be sold."

Anyway, he is not taking the route of small profits but quick turnover, and he doesn't have so much financial resources. If he weaves more linen clothes and suffers a loss when the price drops, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot.

At this time, Qian Dayong went to the nearby villages to collect hemp silk, and the price was a little higher than that offered by other merchants.

"Dayong, when the time comes, remember to give one to our family when we weave the sackcloth." The sackcloth seller knew that Qian Dayong was an honest person, and would give him something good if he wanted it, so he wanted to get some benefits.

Qian Dayong smiled foolishly and remained silent.It's not up to him to decide who to give the sackcloth to. If he says he wants to give it away, Qiao Jiwei will be furious like a skylark, pointing at his nose and scolding him. Even if Qiao Jiwei reluctantly agrees, Mother Qian will not agree.

The next day after the men built the pigsty, it was time to sell sackcloth.This time, Qiao Jiwei took more than thirty pieces of clothes to the county town.

Some of these clothes are carefully embroidered by the girls, and the price is two hundred cash, which is not negotiable.There are also just dyed linen clothes without any decorations, and the price is [-]% off.Others just have a small flower or leaf embroidered on it. The price of this kind of linen is between [-] and [-] cash, and the price can be reduced as appropriate.

Because people in the county had been waiting for a long time, when Qian Dayong and Qiao Jiwei put these linen clothes on the stall, they were sold out within an hour.

Those mid-price sackcloths were sold at higher prices, because these buyers were afraid to bargain with Qiao Jiwei.After all, this sackcloth is in short supply now, and if they bargain for the sackcloth they like, they may be bought by other people.

Those who didn't buy the linen clothes showed disappointment on their faces. The one standing in front sighed, and spoke to Qiao Jiwei in a negotiating tone: "Brother, when will you come to the county next time? Or tell me Where is your home, sell it to me after making the first piece of clothing, I am happy to spend any money."

Qiao Jiwei shook his head slightly. With the first order, there will be a second one. The manpower in their village is also limited. If there are too many orders, it will be overwhelming. , It takes a certain number of days to make a piece of clothing. We will sell the clothes in the county as soon as they are finished."

"How many days will it take?"

"Seven days."

Qiao Jiwei and Qian Dayong packed up their things and were about to go back when Guo, the shopkeeper of the clothing store in the distance, cast a vicious look here, his gaze was like a cold arrow, wishing to pierce Qiao Qian's back.Qiao Jiwei faintly felt a chill on his back, and when he looked back, there seemed to be no one special behind him.

Shopkeeper Guo naturally also heard that dyed linen is popular these days, but this is good news for others, but bad news for him.In fact, strictly speaking, the two are taking different routes, and there is no competition.

But his family is the biggest seller of clothes in this county. Even if Qiao Jiwei didn't steal his business, he actually stole his limelight.This is something he cannot tolerate casually.

Qiao Jiwei deliberately went to the county to buy a large pot of rice wine, bought a fish from a fish merchant he knew well, and went back to the village to ask Qian's mother to prepare a table of meals for the weaver and the embroiderer.

In ancient times, women were not allowed to sit at the table, not to mention that there were still two men in the Qian family at this time, so these women were all ready to walk out of the Qian family.But Qiao Jiwei and Qian Dayong didn't agree and blocked the door to prevent them from leaving.Qiao Jiwei stood in front of the door trying to persuade them.Qian Dayong felt that he couldn't speak, so he didn't say a word that shouldn't be said.Wang Wu's daughter-in-law was greedy and didn't care much about the rules on weekdays, so she took the lead in sitting on the table, and Cuihua followed suit.After opening the door, other people sat up one after another.

Qiao Jiwei poured a glass of wine for every woman on the table, not to mention, some women can drink very well.Had two drinks in a row.
