Chapter 234 Apprenticeship

"Ah, why do you have to collect money?" Li was puzzled, "Mom, didn't you say before that the villagers in the countryside can give you anything? I have agreed with my parents that when the cloth is delivered, I will bring some eggs over, which is the hard work of my younger sister."

"I'm afraid something will happen, so you'd better go out and say it's safer."

Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't want to collect money from her parents, Li ignored it. When Dabao and Erbao came back, he called them and went out for a walk with her.

During this round, Li discovered that the big mouth was really not a human.

I don’t know what she said to the villagers, so these people came over and asked her how much money her little sister made for dyeing cloth.

Li was so angry that he vomited blood: "What money do you make? Do you know how much effort my little sister has to spend to dye a piece of cloth? That's the effort, it's better to make some rouge and facial fat to make money. Even a bracelet would make a lot more money than this. If it weren't for the villagers in the country, they were preparing for the New Year, so my little sister wouldn't bother to do this."

After talking about "hard work" and "not worth it", he directly stated the price of dyed cloth according to Ye Yuran.

Everyone knows how much cloth does a person need to make a piece of clothing? Ten copper plates per foot of white cloth, plus the penny they collect, is only eleven penny per foot. If it is a colored cloth, it will cost at least 16 penny per copper plate, which is really expensive.

She asked everyone to calculate for themselves. Even if they do this, how much money can they save for a piece of clothing?

If the family comes down, three pieces of clothing and a meal of meat will be almost saved.

"Is this expensive? It costs only two or three eggs to dye a piece of clothing. If it is a family and there are discounts, it will definitely be more cost-effective than buying colored cloths directly."

Li asked everyone to comment on this, is this true?

"How did I hear that this cloth is dyed by your family, but it is actually the same as buying color cloth at the cloth shop?" Someone was puzzled.

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "How do I know? Who knows who you heard?"

She didn't have a big mouth, but said that today someone carried a large basket, which is the largest basket that each household had. When she carried it to their house, she didn't ask for help dyeing it. Her skin was really thick. They had to prepare a bunch of materials for dyeing the cloth, boiled it in a pot, and dried it. It was only half a month before and after. I don't know how much work it would be delayed at home, but she was so embarrassed to let their house be "free"?

"Even if it is the law of the villagers, it is not this free law."

Li also asked everyone to calculate for themselves, which one is as many people as their Zhu family and needs to buy so many cloths? Which one is willing to buy so many cloths to make clothes?

I know if there is something wrong with it as soon as I hear it.

Many people began to recall: No, that's not what Big Mouth said.

——They just said that it was obvious that if the Zhu family helped dye cloth, they could save money, but why did it become the same price as the cloth shop when it was big?

——So, there is still this matter in it.

——Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, it’s really thick-skinned, and it’s not like this to take advantage of others.

Someone asked Li with a smile if their family really helped dye white cloth, and his family didn't have too many, so he planned to make a piece of cloth for the children, probably only a few feet away.

"Then you are only a few feet away, only two or three eggs. Saving a few people at home can save a few children a new outfit. How cost-effective. Go to another village to inquire which village can be as cheap as ours?"

Everyone thought about it and it was true.

Someone immediately reacted and asked if he could help her family dye her family. She didn't have many family members, so she must have only a few feet of cloth, so she made it for the children.

"This is not a matter, it is mainly about color. We have to say it first. After all, our family does not open a cloth shop, mainly to facilitate the villagers. I want to save money for everyone, otherwise I will definitely not want to do this trouble." Li said, "We cannot guarantee this color by 100%. We are just trying to dye it ourselves, and the effect is worse than that of other people's cloth shops. If the family is in good condition and is particular, if you want to buy a more beautiful color, don't look for us. We just help you get a little color and wear it."

Zhu Bamei seems to be very talented in color and has a very good grasp of color adjustment.

However, dyeing cloth is somewhat different from her bracelets and making rouge before. Li was also afraid that Zhu Bamei would sometimes "miss" and left a way out.

When everyone heard that it was such a small thing, they didn't care at all: "As long as it's not white cloth, it's done."

The reason why white cloth is cheap is because it is white and can only be worn by funerals and bases.

But with the conditions of their poor families, how could they buy such a good cloth base? They must have picked up some bad clothes, trimmed them, sewed them inside as underwear, and put them on a slightly better one on the outside.

As for people, they always need to be faced, but they still have to pretend to be a storefront.

Now that the Zhu family can help dye cloth, even if they have to collect one copper plate for one foot of cloth, it will definitely be cheaper than buying a colored cloth directly. It saves five copper plates for one foot, which will become a big joy?

If you have better conditions, everyone’s clothes will save you enough to save a new piece of clothing for the children.

All of these wives who married into Zhujia Village want to take advantage of this kind of advantage. They either ask someone to tell me or borrow it back to their parents' home to share this good news.

"real?!"

"Of course it's true, mom, you should quickly calculate how much cloth you can pull. Just one adult's clothes can save a piece of clothing for the children. This is a good thing that I haven't been looking forward to in previous years."

My mother's family who received the news scattered their own money boxes and counted them over and over again, and felt like she was "earning".

At this time, Zhang Yan was sulking in the yard of Mama Mei’s house.

Since the news of her retirement came out, the people in the village have pointed at her, which has caused her to be looked down upon when she goes out.

Everyone said she was stupid and had a good life, but she insisted on carrying her in-laws' "dian" her belly. Now she's ready, isn't she going to beat her eggs?

Mama Mei beat a frangipani and took it out of the kitchen with a flattering look: "Daughter-in-law, come on, today I touched an egg and I will replenish you well."

"What to make up for? You only see an egg. Didn't you hear them say that if my in-laws dye cloth once, can you make several eggs?" Zhang Yan said to her angrily, "It's just you who didn't vent your anger. Even eating an egg is like picking up silver, as if you were holding it."

While speaking, no one was paying attention and pushed Mama Mei.

"Oh, be careful!" The Mei Ma staggered and the bowl in her hand slid down. She was startled and quickly wanted to reach out to catch it, but the sprinkled floss flowers were liquid itself, so where could she catch it?

The frangipani that had just been out of the pot made her hands turn red on the spot. She couldn't catch much, and she had some on her fingers.

"bump--"
