"Oh, thank you so much." Aunt He held the seeds and said, "It's really tiring to cultivate this kind of land. I'm exhausted from clearing the land these two days."

After Xiao Bei's family came here, they followed the example of the villagers and cleared a piece of land at the foot of the mountain behind their house to plant some vegetables.

I have been reclaiming land these two days. I have no rapeseed at home, so I came to borrow some from my grandma.

"Farming is not an easy task." Grandma laughed and said, "Besides, you are not growing vegetables. To grow vegetables, you have to remove the stones and grass roots in the ground. If you keep the grass roots, the weeds will steal the fertilizer."

"Aunt, you know, my family makes a living by hunting, and we haven't grown vegetables at home for many years, so my hands are a little rusty." Aunt He smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I've got the vegetable seeds, I'll go back first, and hurry back to get them."

After saying that, Aunt He walked out with the rapeseed in her hand: "Aunt, don't send me off. I can go back by myself." When she passed by Suihe and Anzhi, she waved at them: "Girl Suihe, girl Anzhi, you guys take your time. I'll go back first."

"Okay, Aunt He, take your time," Sui He and An Zhi also responded.

Hearing Aunt He's words, Grandma stopped and said, "Okay, I won't see you off."

Grandma walked him to the door and stopped. When she saw Aunt He walking away, she walked over to Sui He and asked, "You've done so much?"

"There aren't many pieces of cloth, and most of them can't be used. I used all of them to make these few flowers." Sui He picked up a small flower on the table.

She used up all the scraps of cloth that were so broken that they couldn't be broken any more.

"We don't have much cloth. I have some in my room. Why don't you use it to make a few more ribbons?" Grandma remembered that there was some blue cloth left over from making clothes last time. Most of their clothes are ready-made now, and they won't be able to use that cloth for the time being.

"No, grandma. These pieces of cloth are enough. We are just making them for fun. It would be a waste to use the remaining cloth to make flowers." An Zhi finished the last stitch in her hand and reeled in the thread.

Sui He smiled, said nothing, and started to tidy up the things on the table.

"Second sister, what are we doing here at Sister Ya's place?" An Zhi was pulled up by Sui He early in the morning and was dragged to the town in a daze.

I finally came to my senses when I stood in front of Sister Ya's door.

"Buy something." Sui He looked at An Zhi soothingly and walked in: "Sister Ya."

"Hey, Suihe, you're here." Yaniang came out from the inner room: "What do you need today?"

"I'm going to order some early autumn clothes." Sui He looked at the colorful patterns on the wall and said, "Autumn is coming soon. I'm going to buy some autumn clothes for my family."

"Okay, give me the size and I'll get you the pattern." Yaniang nodded and took out the sample cloth from the cabinet beside her.

It takes three or four days to make a piece of clothing by hand. Suihe ordered a lot today. We need to order at least two or three sets of clothes for our family members to wear alternately, so it will take longer. It is very suitable to order at this time.

I will need to order winter clothes and cotton clothes soon, especially Anzhi, I don’t have any autumn or winter clothes.

Suihe discussed with Yaniang about the style of the clothes and the type of fabrics, and Anzhi stood aside and listened to their conversation.

"Okay, let's choose these." Sui He chose the fabric and said, "Sister Ya, you have to hurry up and make it for me. The weather will start to change soon. I have clothes, but my little sister has nothing to wear."

Suihe pointed at Anzhi next to him.

"Okay, no problem. I'll ask the embroiderer to make it for you first." Yaniang followed Suihe's line of sight and glanced at Anzhi, then said to Suihe, "It's the right time for you to come. We happen to be free recently. In a few days, the wealthy people from the big families will come out to purchase ready-made clothes for their servants."

The two chatted for a while, and Sui He took out the flowers they made yesterday from the bamboo basket beside them: "Sister Ya, take a look at these things, do you accept them?"

Sui He came here today to sell these headdresses. The reason why she didn't take them out at the beginning was because they came too early. Business people pay the most attention to the first customer who comes in.

If the business is good, the business will be good today. If it is not good, it will be a headache today.

Suihe is the first customer today. She gave Yaniang a big order and was very straightforward. The opening business is good and Yaniang is in a good mood. The following things will be much easier.

"Let me see." Yaniang picked up the headdress handed over by Suihe and said, "This is made of cloth, you have very skillful hands." Having been dealing with needlework and cloth for many years, Yaniang could tell at a glance how this thing was made.

When An Zhi saw Sui He took out the flowers they made yesterday, his expression changed. Why did the second sister take out the flowers they made yesterday and asked Yan Niang if she would accept them? How could she possibly accept such a thing?

"Suihe, you know, the silk flowers I have here are much more beautiful than this, and they are also simple to make." Yaniang was not lying. Embroidery shops like theirs sometimes bring back some silk flowers to sell together. Those silk flowers are brightly colored, and each one looks like a real flower. However, these silk flowers are also very expensive, and most people can't afford to buy them.

"Sister Ya, I know this thing is definitely not as beautiful as the silk flowers in your store, but the one made by my sister is not bad either, and those silk flowers are also very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to buy them." Sui He picked up a head flower

"Sister Ya, my sister's hair flower is simple, but it is very special. No other family has such a flower."

"Besides, it has low cost. We can lower the price when the time comes. Even a penny is still money." Sui He continued, "There are so many people coming and going in our town. There will always be people who like it."

Yaniang thought about it and felt that Suihe's words made sense: "You have a point, OK, then I will take it. You also know that this thing will definitely not be sold at a high price. I will charge you two cents for a single flower, and three cents for this one with two flowers. I will add one cent and sell it."

"Okay, no problem," Sui He heard here. These fabrics were all made of scraps of cloth. Five cents could buy a big bag, and those scraps of cloth could be picked and chosen to make a lot of them. It was already very good to get two cents for each one.

As for taking it out, being appreciated, and selling it for a huge sum of money and still having people scramble for it, these are all plots that only exist in novels. The reality is that there were quite a few skilled craftsmen in ancient times, and anyone with experience would be able to make this thing at a glance.

"Well, there are more than thirteen single flowers, and five of this combination." Yaniang counted them, took out a copper coin from her purse and handed it to Suihe: "This is forty-one coins, you count it."

"Okay, thank you Sister Ya." Sui He took the copper coins and counted them. No matter how familiar they were, it was better to count money in person. "That's a lot. Thank you Sister Ya."

He took out another ten copper coins and handed them over: "Sister Ya, do you have any more cloth? Give me some good ones."

"Yes, yes, why do you still want to make it?" Yaniang took out a large bag of cloth from the cupboard and said, "Let me make it clear first, I will only continue to buy it if it sells well. If it doesn't sell, I won't take it anymore."

"I know. Don't worry, if I can't sell it, I won't be able to give it to you again." Sui He took the bag of cloth and put it in the bamboo basket.
