Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

When a villager bought potatoes, he followed Qiao Jiwei's example and planted them in the ground.

March in Yangchun is neither cold nor hot, and the peach blossoms are gradually blooming. This is the best time for wine making.It's just that the farmers are busy planting seeds at this time, but they don't have much time to brew wine.Qiao Jiwei had no choice but to temporarily recruit people between planting peanuts and hemp, but the number of recruits in the village was not enough, so Qiao Jiwei had to go to other villages again, hoping to recruit more people outside.

When the population was almost complete, Qiao Jiwei immediately instructed them to steam sorghum.At this time, the family's farm work was also very busy. Qiao Jiwei made his own wine, so he couldn't delay all the work in their fields.

The brewing of sorghum wine is done step by step, methodically, and every step must not be sloppy.So Qiao Jiwei naturally carefully inspected every process of brewing sorghum wine, kneading his mind very carefully when brewing wine, and speeding up their hands and feet secretly.

At the stage of fermentation, they temporarily had no work to do, so they returned home to grow peanuts one after another.Qiao Jiwei also took advantage of this spare time to look at the potatoes in the field.In the past, these jobs were all done by Qian Dayong, but now that Qian Dayong is not around, Qiao Jiwei can only follow his habit of managing the field, but he is not as careful as Qian Dayong in some small details.

In the potato field, Qiao Jiwei saw that the buds had grown, about half a centimeter above the ground. The color was much lighter than when they were first planted, and they looked quite tender.Qiao Jiwei looked up at the day. The sun was shining brightly, and there should be no sudden cold or snowy weather. If there is no accident, these potatoes should be able to grow.

After the sorghum and part of the wheat fermented for the first day, the farmers had just finished planting peanuts.So he continued to steam the wine.

Qiao Jiwei understood the good market of this sorghum wine very well, and the hot summer weather was not suitable for wine making, so the sorghum wine steamed this time was half as much as last winter. According to the usual practice, after brewing, Qiao Jiwei gave everyone a Pot of sorghum wine.This time the work is completely done.

After the wine was brewed, Qiao Jiwei immediately notified the shopkeeper Wu.As soon as shopkeeper Wu heard the news, he immediately sent someone to Qian's house to fetch wine.Other people in the county heard that new wine was brewed here, and they also came here with bullock carts to buy wine from Qiao Jiwei.They've clearly become addicted to the drink.This is also good, just enough to allow Qiao Jiwei to have long-term regular customers.

Then Qiao Jiwei remembered what he had agreed with the tavern manager that day, and he drove the bullock cart to the county seat himself, and delivered a dozen pots on the cart to the tavern door.The shopkeeper watched Qiao Jiwei arrive as scheduled, and smiled happily.

One day Qiao Jiwei came back from the field and passed the door of Cuihua's house. Cuihua's mother and daughter were talking at the door.

Cuihua said: "Mother, let me embroider clothes in the county."

Cuihua Niang disagreed, "I just talked to you as a matchmaker, and the family seems to be quite satisfied, and there are already good signs. You don't want to go to the county seat." After seeing Qiao Jiwei passing by, Cuihua Niang took the initiative to say hello: "From the slope came back?"

"Yes." Qiao Jiwei nodded.He doesn't like to talk too much about women's affairs.They didn't speak any more.Cuihua heard Qiao Jiwei's voice, and suddenly recalled what happened last summer, suddenly felt a little ashamed, and hurried into the house.

But hearing what Cuihua's mother and daughter said, Qiao Jiwei suddenly recalled the previous agreement with shopkeeper Guo. He had promised to develop a new business for shopkeeper Guo.But Qiao Jiwei didn't know what kind of new product idea he wanted to come up with.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the bed bedding is naturally out of market.As for dyeing clothes, the dyeing technique has become very mature at this time, and Qiao Jiwei's new dyeing method may not be competitive.Besides, last year Qiao Jiwei already opened up this blank market by relying on dyed linen clothes. If he starts from dyeing again this time, it may be suspected of duplication. What should we do?

But since shopkeeper Guo's clothing store mainly sells clothes, why not just start with clothes and design a new style.

This is a bit difficult for Qiao Jiwei. Designing a new style of clothes is simply demanding himself according to the standards of a fashion designer.

Qiao Jiwei, as the president in the modern era, was very particular about wearing clothes on every important occasion. Over time, he was able to appreciate the quality of the clothes, and gained a better understanding of the texture and design of the clothes. Over the years, in In terms of clothing design, Qiao Jiwei has basically become a half-expert, and generally knows how to design suits or casual clothes to fit them elegantly.But the modern clothing model really cannot be applied mechanically to the design ideas of ancient Hanfu.Unfortunately, people at this time completely regard modern clothes as something different, and the rotten Confucians yell at immorality, which will also put him and the shopkeeper Guo in a situation of being besieged.

How to balance the free mode of modern clothing design with the acceptance of ancient people is Qiao Jiwei's consideration from beginning to end.

Qiao Jiwei first spent a few days collecting wind, checking the clothes worn by pedestrians in various streets in the county. After seeing a lot, he also summed up some rules.For example, people at this time don't like to dress fancy, but like to wear dark clothes with a gloomy tone.Qiao Jiwei didn't know why.

Back home, Qiao Jiwei began to draw pictures on the blueprints, aiming to design each piece of clothing in a simple and simple way, instead of designing clothes that were decorated with repeated tacky flowers before.In the eyes of outsiders, this simple dress probably means elegance and grace.At the same time, Qiao Jiwei tried his best to satisfy people's dressing preferences at this time.These two design ideas seem to be quarreling, but in fact they complement each other.

After designing the first set of clothes, Qiao Jiwei moved on to the second set, and the drawn images were lifelike with smooth lines.

Qiao Jiwei has been burying his head in it for the next few days, and handed over all the work of the family to Fei Cui and Qianmu.The potatoes didn't care about taking care of them anymore, so Fei Cui had to go to the fields to have a look after feeding the livestock.

After several days of hard work, Qiao Jiwei designed dozens of sets of clothes.As for men's and women's matching, Qiao Jiwei is a bit biased. Most of the clothes are for women.It’s not to blame Qiao Jiwei for being “sexist”, it’s just that men in ancient times didn’t know how to dress themselves up. Many people walked on the street in a sloppy manner, wasting good clothes for nothing.

After finishing these tasks, Qiao Jiwei took these patterns to the main room, handed them to Qian's mother, and said to Qian's mother: "Mother, I want to use these patterns to make clothes, and it probably depends on your craftsmanship." .”

Mother Qian looked at these patterns, but a sad expression appeared on her face. "It's too difficult to make clothes like this, do you mean to make things difficult for my old woman?"

Qiao Jiwei turned over several pictures for Mother Qian to show her, and said, "Mother, don't look at these as difficult, but there are actually not many patterns, and you can finish it with just a few weaves."

Mother Qian was still reluctant, "But my eyes are blurred, and I can't see the way of these clothes."

Qiao Jiwei rolled his eyelids inadvertently, and turned his head away to prevent Qian's mother from seeing him.This is obviously lazy and doesn't want to knit these clothes.

In desperation, Qiao Jiwei had no choice but to guide Qian's mother to make these clothes. Whenever Qian's mother had doubts, Qiao Jiwei would answer her one by one.In addition, Qiao Jiwei is not a professional fashion designer after all, and it is inevitable to add some unreasonable details or omissions when drawing these clothes. Fortunately, Mother Qian is highly skilled, and can correct Qiao Jiwei's design mistakes when weaving troubles.In the process of weaving these clothes, the two of them could talk calmly, and the usual quarrels were eliminated a lot in the process of making these clothes.

After making these clothes, Qiao Jiwei fixed the ox cart and transported them to the store of shopkeeper Guo in the county seat.

When he arrived at the place, Qiao Jiwei casually took out several sets of clothes and handed them to shopkeeper Guo, "Shopkeeper, let's see how these clothes look."

Shopkeeper Guo picked up the clothes, his eyes lit up, "You made all these clothes?"

Qiao Jiwei nodded.

Shopkeeper Guo looked at these clothes one by one. Most of the clothes for men were black and white, and Qiao Jiwei didn't abuse the color when designing the clothes for women to prevent them from looking gaudy.And these clothes are not very thick, just in time.

Shopkeeper Guo has been selling clothes for many years, so he naturally has the ability to appreciate all kinds of clothes.He saw at a glance that these clothes could sell well, so he collected them all.

As for the remuneration, shopkeeper Guo thought of convenience, so he set each piece of clothing at one tael, and finally gave Qiao Jiwei more than a dozen taels of silver. From then on, these clothes have nothing to do with Qiao Jiwei.But when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is not very good, and it is too bullying.How can I say that the styles of these clothes were also obtained by Qiao Jiwei's painstaking efforts, and they only gave a dozen taels of silver, which would inevitably make people feel cold.How to distribute the earned money, let’s wait until the money is sold in the future.

Shopkeeper Guo first invited Qiao Jiwei into the Wu Family Tavern, and then invited several talents that Qiao Jiwei knew in the county, and Shopkeeper Wu also came to accompany him.These individuals were already familiar with each other before, and they didn't have much restraint at the dinner table.

Qiao Jiwei took a sip of sorghum wine first, which tasted clearer than before.He smiled at Shopkeeper Wu, "Is this sorghum wine selling well?"

"It's okay, but it's not as popular as last year." Shopkeeper Wu replied truthfully.

That’s right, as soon as any product comes out, customers will always have a freshness. After the freshness passes, the sale of this product will become normal.

Yi Xiucai drank heavily, looking very wild.After drinking, he laughed and said: "It's okay, I will come here every day to buy wine and drink, so that the shopkeeper can sell this wine."

Shopkeeper Wu is also unforgiving, "Then you might as well not come. The wine has been sold, and the money will not be recovered in a while."

The guests enjoyed the meal, and before the banquet ended, Qiao Jiwei left early.After all, Qian's family is quite far away from the county seat, so we can't go back too late.

On the second day after Qiao Jiwei left, shopkeeper Guo took the clothes that Qiao Jiwei brought as they were, and stepped up production. There was a little shortage of manpower, and many women were recruited from the county.Although Shopkeeper Guo wanted to make money by himself, he actually made some ordinary people in the county earn money.

Once the clothes are made and hung in the store, they quickly attract people's attention. Everyone is used to wearing colorful clothes, and some people are already tired of looking at them.Seeing this kind of clothes with simple design, it looks very chic.Therefore, many people rush to shopkeeper Guo's city every day to buy this clothes.

Shopkeeper Guo is not satisfied with the market of this mere county, so he dragged the clothes to the state capital to open up new markets.During this process, people, especially women, became more and more fond of clothes, which Qiao Jiwei did not expect.
