I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!
Chapter 36: Discarded Fabrics from the Sewing Room
Cheng Yu left only after Taozi finished eating the omelet.
Calculating the time, she had to prepare lunch in advance, so she could think about the menu for today's lunch when she returned.
The weather was really getting colder. Touching the bed that was as heavy as a board, Cheng Yu didn't even have the desire to lie down.
At this time, she thought of that strange system store. As a host, she could use the items in it, but if she wanted to sell them for money, she would have to pay for them.
The rule is that as the host, she can use whatever she wants from this modern store, but if she wants to sell it to others, she has to spend money to buy things from her own store.
The system supermarket has everything, but this thing cannot be taken out rashly, in case someone discovers her abnormality.
She would be taken away and burned to death.
Cheng Yu didn't want to be conspicuous.
She still planned to use her cooking skills to earn some money among the Lu family's servants. If there were a lot of small amounts of money, wouldn't that be a lot of money?
Regarding the cold and hard bed board, Cheng Yu lay down for a short while before getting up again.
Pearl is back.
When she came back from the sewing room, she brought back a few pieces of rags, muttering that there was nothing better to give her than a few pieces of rags that were too small for making clothes and too big for making anything else.
No one likes clothes with the two colors spliced together as shown above. People will think that the person’s family is poor and cannot afford a whole piece of material, so he makes such clothes.
Zhu'er said as she threw a few small pieces of material on the table.
Cheng Yu saw it, picked it up and looked at it.
"Isn't this great? There's a whole piece of it here..."
Zhu'er said, "You can take whatever you like. Yu'er, how about working with Dingxiang? Ziwei is really, she looks gentle, but she is very powerful when it comes to managing people. I didn't have time to rest this morning. I worked as a laborer in the warehouse."
Cheng Yu laughed at her, "Can I still ask you to carry heavy bags?"
Carrying heavy bags refers to the hard labor done by men working at the docks.
Cheng Yu had never seen it, but had heard of it.
"That's true, but we are carrying small bags. The two embroiderers in the needlework room don't do heavy work, and Ziwei doesn't dare to offend them, so they can only rely on me and Zhijin. Zhijin's work requires careful work and is slow, so this job can't be done entirely by me."
The materials are all good, but they are not the popular patterns nowadays.
Considering that these were Zhao Rulan's dowry, some of them had been stored for a long time, the materials and styles were not good, or they were dirty, or bitten by rats and insects, so naturally they could no longer be used.
Besides, the masters have so much good materials that they cannot use them all, so they will never use these waste materials.
Staying in the warehouse and taking up space usually looks bad, so Ziwei dealt with it privately. If she wanted to give anything, she would give it to the people in her room first.
Zhu'er took the lead and still complained that the material was not good.
Cheng Yu was eager to get two pieces of material.
Although the material is a bit worn out, it is still very good. Think about it, this is Zhao Rulan's dowry material, how could it be bad?
If the material is in good condition, you can sell it outside and make some money.
However, as a daughter of a wealthy family, she would definitely not sell her dowry to make a living unless she was so poor that she could not survive.
Therefore, all those that were outdated, dirty, torn, and bitten by rats and insects were given to the servants.
The servants of the Lu family did not wear uniform clothes, mainly because they did not want to spend the money. Tailoring clothes for the servants every year was also a considerable expense.
But the maids and servants before Zhao Rulan were all responsible for making clothes, and they used to make the same style in different colors.
Now that they have arrived at the Lu family, their servants do not wear uniform clothes, so Zhao Rulan asked the people in Lanyuan to follow the Lu family's rules.
After these materials are made, they can be made into several sets of clothes, but Zhu'er just doesn't like to work.
Seeing Cheng Yu looking at the materials, Zhu'er walked up to Cheng Yu.
"Yu'er, if you like these ingredients, you can take them all. Just treat me to something. I want to eat the braised duck you made."
Cheng Yu just wanted to start a small business and heard Zhu'er's words.
She pretended to think about it, then said, "Okay, I'll make some later. But now people rarely eat duck in the kitchen, and there aren't many duck products. If you want to eat it, you can go to a restaurant or a hotel outside to ask. Don't go out by yourself. Find someone to help you..."
Zhu Er immediately said, "Do you still need to find someone? Just ask the food delivery man to help you, he will definitely agree..."
Cheng Yu was confused.
Zhu Er said, "You didn't realize that Zhang, the food delivery guy, likes you."
Zhu'er said this and started laughing.
Cheng Yu told Zhu'er very seriously that she was not allowed to make such jokes, especially in front of outsiders.
Zhu'er quickly explained, "Yu'er, I didn't say anything nonsense outside. I just said it in front of you. Don't worry, I will never say anything nonsense."
Zhu'er is very afraid of offending Cheng Yu.
After all, the food cooked by Cheng Yu is so delicious. If she offends Cheng Yu, she will never be able to eat the food cooked by Cheng Yu again. She thinks it is not worth it and the loss outweighs the gain.
"Then swear, if you spread rumors about me and that food delivery guy Zhang, you will never be able to eat the food I cook for the rest of your life, and I will also end our friendship."
"I have a fiancé, so don't talk nonsense."
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll remember it. Next time I send Zhang Cai, I'll tell him to be more sensible and not to be a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Our Yu'er has a fiancé."
Seeing Zhu'er speaking seriously, Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing.
She still looked serious.
Zhu'er went forward and coaxed him, giving all the materials to Cheng Yu for her to use, and said that she would never talk nonsense again, and she would not allow others to talk nonsense either.
Cheng Yu said, okay, I will cook you some spicy hot pot in the evening.
I cooked spicy hot pot for Zhao Rulan once before. Zhu'er only smelled the fragrance but didn't eat it. She couldn't stop thinking about it for a long time.
Today Cheng Yu plans to cook some food in the evening using the leftover ingredients from the kitchen.
Zhu'er was very happy.
Cheng Yu was busy packing up the materials.
I have to say that Ziwei is quite nice to her subordinates. When Zhu'er just arrived, she gave her three pieces of cloth. The ink-colored one had a few holes bitten by mice on it, and the gray one was smaller, like the leftover material from making clothes. However, if you use this material to make a vest and wear it under your clothes in winter, it is still quite warm.
As for the aqua blue one, it is rather narrow and long, so it cannot be made into a set of clothes, and it is also a little bit inferior to be made into anything else.
No one wants material that can't be made into clothes.
Cheng Yu thought that since Zhu'er gave it to her, she would keep it first. If she had time later, she wanted to go out and buy some cotton to sew a vest or cotton-padded jacket for herself.
This material is still too small for making a quilt. If you want to make a quilt, you should buy the fabric yourself.
Zhu'er was only thinking about eating the spicy hot pot at the moment and didn't care about these useless ingredients at all.
