Chapter 44: Something to say first
Yi Chichi was silent for two seconds, "I have cloth, do you want it?"

She rummaged through Zhang Lanxiang's stockpile of cloths. There was no cotton cloth, but rather good quality ones.

There isn't much cloth, so it's no problem to make three pieces of clothing.

"want!"

Bai Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. He calculated the money in his hand and said in a negotiating tone, "I don't have any coupons. Can I give you the money at a slightly higher market price?"

Yi Chichi thought for two seconds, nodded and said yes.

"Shall we trade now?"

Very eagerly.

"I'll get it."

With that said, she got up and went back to the house.

Bai Chen and the others looked forward to it eagerly, and within two minutes she came back with the cloth.

"It's really good. It's white. According to your height and size, I can make three pieces and still have some leftover."

Her eyes passed over Bai Chen, Zhang Yunhao and Qi Yang, and she had something to say.

Qi Yang reacted the fastest and immediately told him to get one for him.

Zhang Yunhao's eyes lit up, he actually had a share.

"I, I, I want it too."

He looked anxious for fear that he would be robbed if he was slow.

Wu Yongfei was unhappy, "How come I don't have any share in this?"

Yi Chichi was very single, "You have something to wear."

She had observed during the autumn harvest that Bai Chen and the three of them had little change of clothes. They basically wore the same clothes during the day and washed them at night.

Sometimes I wake up and my clothes are not dry yet, so I have to go to the ground in wet clothes.

Wu Yongfei's conditions are not very good either, but they are better than Bai Chen's.

At least they had a change of clothes.

"Exercise a spirit of humility and let the three of them wear full clothes first. Otherwise, when spring comes, they go naked to plant seeds, which will affect the reputation of all educated youths!"

This was reasonable and reasonable. Wu Yongfei and Zhou Yadong, who originally wanted to complain, shut up decisively after hearing this.

As a result, the cloth Yi Chichi took out was divided among the three.

The price of a true good is 5.2 yuan for one foot and five inches, and a cloth ticket is required.

Bai Chen and the others didn't have any cloth tickets, so they calculated the price at five and eight yuan.

It’s hard to say who loses and who wins, but when we live in the same yard, no one wants to worry about it.

After paying the money, Yi Chichi handed over the fabric and asked, "Do you do it yourself?"

"No, I need to find someone to help."

"Who are you looking for?"

"The aunt in the village is looking for someone who has time to help make it. The processing fee is about 50 cents to 1 yuan."

And there are processing fees?
Yi Chichi's eyes lit up. She was idle, so she might as well develop a side job.

"How much do you charge Auntie for their processing?"

"We didn't give it."

"what?"

Knowing the doubts in her mind, Bai Chen explained, "We have never made clothes, so we pay according to the price of the Hongqi production brigade next door."

It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either.

Even though fifty cents does not sound like a lot, in later generations people would be too lazy to bend down and pick it up if they were thrown on the ground. However, in this era, the purchasing power is quite strong.

Eggs only cost 6-7 cents each, and cents can buy seven or eight eggs.

She smiled and said, "I can do it."

"???You can also make clothes?"

Ge Sujuan was shocked. She had asked her to help make shoes before, but now she suddenly knew how to make clothes.

"I always will."

"You can't even make shoes."

These words silenced Yi Chichiqian. They were not in the same category. She was an expert at making clothes, but she really didn't know how to make cloth shoes.

No one has ever done it. She has been buying shoes for as long as she can remember, and no one around her knows this skill.

“I can make clothes, including skirts, pants, shirts, and even coats, and I can also embroider, but I can’t knit sweaters or make shoes.”

The implication is that although she is not omnipotent, she is not so incompetent that she knows nothing.

Bai Chen didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, so he decisively said before Ge Sujuan spoke, "Then you do it for us and pay the processing fee."

After thinking about it for a moment, he asked in a consultative tone, "Is it okay to pay six cents?"

"can!"

Yi Chichi nodded and said with a smile, "But I have something to say first. If I need your help in the future, you can help me."

"must."

Even if you don't say anything, it will help.

After all, people are good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

They didn't know the specific situation of Yi Chichi.

But through this period of contact, they discovered that this girl was somewhat capable.

Spies are hard to find and hard to catch, but she found them and caught them.

This alone was enough for them to be on good terms with her instead of against her.

What's more, she can also make medicine.

"If you have any good things in the future, please think of us more. Don't give them all to the villagers. At least leave some for us."

Ge Sujuan hugged her arm and acted coquettishly, and Yi Chichi smiled, "Okay, next time I have something good, I will pick it up for you first."

One sentence made everyone smile.

Afterwards, Yi Chichi took the soft ruler he collected from Yi's house and measured the three people's dimensions. After recording them, he started working directly with the scissors.

Wang Nan and the others watched, and were a little shocked to see that her hands were fast and steady, and the fabric she cut out was straight and not skewed at all, as if it had been measured with a ruler.

What did Yi Chichi do before going to the countryside?
This proficient cutting technique is better than many old masters. After all, the old masters still have to draw lines when cutting, but she doesn't need to do anything to get started.

Every move was made with extreme precision, a skill they would never learn in their lifetime.

"Chichi, aren't you afraid of damaging the cut?"

Yi Chichi kept moving his hands without raising his head, "It's impossible to damage such a simple job."

The tone is confident and firm.

Wang Nan and others... felt that it was a waste for her to go to the countryside. With her skills, it would be great to be a pattern maker or female worker in a garment factory, so why did she go to the countryside?

Time passed by, and seeing that it was getting late, Wang Nan said softly, "Let's go cook first."

"What should I do?"

Zhou Qiuyu glanced at Yi Chichi and felt that in her current state, she might not be able to remember to cook.

Bai Chen thought for a while, "How about asking her if she wants to eat with us?"

Wu Yongfei had tasted the sweetness before and volunteered, "I can do it for her alone."

This can be done.

Then, Wang Nan and Yi Chichi mentioned it.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to Wu Yongfei and asked, "Are you cooking today?"

"Do."

"Then let's make pickled fish."

Aunt Ma exchanged a black fish weighing two or three kilograms with her for two enamel tanks. She was wondering what to do with them, so Wu Yongfei volunteered to deliver them to her door.

"I will provide the fish and oil, and you will provide the ingredients such as sauerkraut, chili, sesame, onion, ginger and garlic. We can have dinner together, okay?"

Bai Chen and the others had no reason to refuse. All in all, they still had the advantage.

Therefore, he suggested rather sheepishly, "Actually, we can produce oil."

"Need not."

Yi Chichi decisively refused. There was not enough fish oil in the pickled cabbage and it was not delicious. It was considered a luxury to ask Wang Nan and others to add even a few drops of oil.

It was no different than nothing. She really couldn't imagine the taste of pickled fish cooked in water.

To be on the safe side, it's better for her to produce oil.
