Farmer's happy event

Chapter 128 Strike
Li Zi followed the girl, and it didn't take long. He walked around a few streets and entered a large courtyard through a corner gate.

Along the way, the girl also told Lizi the general situation of her grandmother, what color, style, and temperament she liked.Talking about this can make Li Zi more aware of what kind of clothes are suitable for her.

It turned out that this was Zhou's family, who were in the tea business, and could be counted as one of the richest households in this town.Because of their business contacts with "Fujulai", the women of the two families often get together to drink tea and play cards.

After entering the corner gate, he walked through several winding corridors, and then entered a courtyard. Lizi looked up and saw the three characters "Xiefangyuan" written on the door of the moon cave.There are a few willow trees planted by the door, with thick branches hanging down, which makes it feel cool when you look at it.

This girl is the big girl in front of grandma, her name is Caiqing.

Li Zi followed her through the second gate in the courtyard, and then walked around a screen, and then lifted the curtain and entered the main room.

"It's about time, grandma should wake up during the break." Caiqing seemed to be talking to herself, and carried chestnuts into the main room.

When the chestnuts entered, they could only smell a sweet fragrance. They saw a woman in her twenties lying on the kang, one little girl was fanning, and the other was rubbing her legs.

Lizi couldn't help saying "sin" in his heart.

But when she has money in the future, she should enjoy it like this.

"Grandma, I brought the tailor you asked for, she's still a young lady." Cai Qing entered the main room and said with a smile.

The woman heard the voice, looked up, and really saw Caiqing followed by a little girl who hadn't reached her age yet.

"Are you a tailor?" The young lady of the Zhou family asked uncertainly.

Li Zi nodded, stepped forward and bent over, and saluted him.

"Did you make those clothes?" she asked.

Lizi smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, there are two sets for Dong's wife. I just heard sister Caiqing's description. She should wear the more stable one, and the other is the concubine-colored one. If it is well matched In terms of makeup, there is nothing wrong with looking ten years younger."

She said, looked at the Zhou family's young mistress and said: "But the young mistress is very young, so she doesn't need such clothes."

Just now from Caiqingkou, Lizi learned that this young mistress is very good-natured and lively.It was a good thing at first, but my mother-in-law thought it was not prudent.

Women generally like to hear others praise them for being young, and the grandma in front of her is no exception, she smiled and said: "Well, it sounds good, okay, I will believe you, if you do it well, it must be There will be a lot of rewards, and from now on, my clothes, even my family's clothes, will be made with you."

"Hey, okay, thank you grandma." Li Zi made another shallow salute and said with a smile.It's a good thing to have business coming to your door, and it looks like it's likely to be a big business, so it must be a good thing.

Without wasting any more time, Li Zi said, "Let me measure it for grandma first." As he spoke, he took out the soft ruler he made from the small cloth bag he carried with him.

"What kind of clothes does grandma want to make? Do you want to wear single shirts in autumn? Or big wool clothes in winter?" Li Zi asked while measuring.

The young lady of the Zhou family thought for a while and asked, "How many days can it be done at the soonest?"

Lizi smiled and said, "It depends on what style grandma chooses. Single shirts are definitely faster than woolen ones. Simpler styles are definitely faster than complicated ones."

"Okay," Zhou's grandma nodded, "Let's make a single shirt that can be worn right now, and wait until the weather turns cold before doing anything else."

"Okay", Li Zi readily agreed, and began to ask her what style she wanted. Then, she opened a book she brought with her and handed it to her.

This book was made by Li Zi himself, with various styles of clothes drawn on it, and marked on the side, what effect will it have when wearing these clothes.

Although this is just a not-so-exquisite booklet, it took Lizi several nights to conceive and draw it.

Zhou's grandma read a few pages by herself, perhaps because she was confused for a while, she didn't find the right one.So Lizi recommended two models for Cai Caiqing based on her description on the road.One is a half gauze skirt with a low neck and wide sleeves, and the other is a long skirt with a cross-neck and deep-fitting style, covering one and a half arms.

She didn't pick too much, and directly agreed to Li Zi's proposal.Lizi thought for a while, and agreed with her on the color, pattern, and embroidery, and made an appointment to finish it in a few days, and then left Zhou's house.

After returning to the shop, Li Zi saw that Liu Jingren had returned and was setting up the counter with Lian Zi.

They followed Liu Jingren to see in the morning, picked out a counter, a dozen racks for hanging clothes, asked for a few tables and chairs, paid for them, and in the afternoon, a waiter and Liu Jingren brought them over.

Putting things in the empty shop immediately made it a lot narrower, but it was also a lot more substantial.

These furniture are carefully selected by the three of you. Although the materials may not be very good, the colors give people a luxurious feeling. It is really suitable to display those gorgeous clothes.

After placing these things, it was getting late, and the three of them packed up again, then locked the door and went home.

Lizi received the first order of business before it opened, so she was naturally very happy, and the grandma said that if the clothes are done well, all future clothes will be made by her, so she will naturally invest one hundred do it wholeheartedly.

Just after returning home, Mrs. Yang was still cooking in the kitchen, and Gu Zidou and Chun Xing were helping.

Lizi went straight into the kitchen without saying anything, and called "Sister Chunxing" and dragged her away.

"What's the matter?" Seeing this, Yang asked a little confused.

"She's happy." Lianzi was walking in from the outside and said with a smile.

Guzi asked what was going on, and Lianzi told them what happened today.

"The business is good." Gu Zi joked.

Although Lizi has countless ideas in the design of clothes and can also sew, but when it comes to embroidery, it is completely lost.However, if she wanted to make these high-end and elegant clothes, she couldn't do without embroidery, so she could only ask Chunxing to help her.

Mrs. Yang finished the meal and went to ask for Lizi to eat, but unexpectedly Lizi refused to eat it.

"It's fine if you don't eat, don't let Miss Chunxing starve." Yang said with a smile.

Chun Xing also smiled slightly, and said: "Let's go eat. After eating, let's do some more work at night, and we will definitely be able to get out."

Li Zi and Zhou's grandma agreed that the time would be five days, and within five days, two sets of finely crafted clothes would be brought out.

She had already bought the fabric, and after she came back, she only needed to cut it out and then sew it on. The rest of the procedures would be done by Chun Xing.

Embroidery is already extremely slow, but this time the time is tight, and Li Zi is really impatient.Fortunately, Guzi is also good at embroidery, so I can help you a little bit.

Just these two pieces of clothes, almost the whole family mobilized, and finally finished it within five days.

After finishing, Li Zi went to the city and delivered the clothes to Grandma Zhou's in person.

When Zhou's grandma saw it, she really liked it very much. She tried it and looked at it in the mirror, and she was not dissatisfied.

That wide-sleeved, low-cut underskirt is just right for the current climate. It is a lotus color, and it doesn't feel frivolous at all. On the contrary, it is elegant and has a touch of style.

And that long skirt with curly train, even if it is colder, it can still be worn. It is covered with a maroon half-arm, homely clothes, but it makes people feel very stable when worn, which just fits the grandma of Zhou's family. mind.

The total cost of these two clothes was less than ten taels of silver, and the final price for chestnuts was 42 taels in total.And the grandma of the Zhou family also said that all her clothes will be made by her in the future.

Holding white flowers and heavy silver, Lizi felt as if he was in a dream. The shop hadn't opened yet, and all the money for the furniture had been earned back.

She was naturally very excited in her heart. After delivering the clothes, she bought some other items. She planned to go back and make some ready-made clothes. When the time came, they would be displayed in the store, both for customers to see the styles and for sale.

Since the purpose of making high-end clothes is to deal with women from wealthy families, the efficiency of making clothes must be improved.If only relying on Li Zi and Chun Xing, I'm afraid it won't work, so Li Zi thinks that it is better to hire some skilled tailors and embroiderers, and train them before opening to prepare for the opening.

Before I knew it, several days had passed in August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.

The crops in the field have already started to be harvested one after another, and the fish pond should also have a bumper harvest.

In the days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, "Fujulai" will inevitably be full of guests, so the demand for ingredients will also increase greatly.

Since August, not many fish have been sent to "Fujulai". The main thing is to save, and hope to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to supply more fish.In this way, since the length of the fish can be sufficient, it can also allow shopkeeper Dong to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to relax a little bit.

Lianzi's family will go to Yang's natal family to give gifts every year on August [-]th.But Liu Jingren caught two big fat red fish from the fish pond a few days in advance, raised them in clean water at home, and waited to bring them away when giving gifts.

I have already made an appointment with shopkeeper Dong, and tomorrow morning, someone will be sent to pick up the goods.

Therefore, before dawn the next day, Yang Shi and Liu Jingren had to get up and go to the fish pond to fish out the fish.

Before going to bed, Lianzi said, "Do you want me to help?"

This harvest time is naturally the most exciting time for lotus seeds.

Yang patted her lightly and said, "How can you help? Go to sleep quickly."

When her parents left the next day, Lianzi heard the sound, but she was too sleepy, so she didn't get up.

When she got up, it was already dawn, and Gu Zi thought that her parents must have left without breakfast, so she cooked breakfast and asked Lian Zi to deliver it.

Lianzi readily agreed, picked up the basket containing breakfast, and went to the fish pond in a very happy mood.

But before she got to the edge of the fish pond, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. It stands to reason that there should be cheers, why is it so quiet?
Suspicious in her heart, Lianzi quickened her pace and went to the pond. Unexpectedly, the scene that caught her eyes was enough to leave a lifetime of shadows in her heart.

　Second update, sorry, it's a bit late today.
