Chapter 38 Buying Cloth to Make Clothes
After having eaten and drunk his fill, Sui He saw that it was still early, so he was not in a hurry to go to the government office to look for his second grandfather, and simply walked around the street.
There are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and various workshops on both sides of the street. There are also some vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street to sell small things. Although this town is small, there are many pedestrians on the road.
They walked into the cloth shop unsteadily, thinking that all the clothes at home had been burned by Huang Cuihua, and now they had no clothes to change into.
Fortunately, the weather is not cold now. I washed it at night and wore it the next day without worrying about it. It will be a problem in autumn. I can't even survive the winter without clothes.
Sui He walked in and looked around. The shelves on the wall were filled with all kinds of cloth.
"Little brother, what do you need?" Yaniang looked up from where something was written on the counter.
"Boss, I want to buy some cloth to make clothes. Do you have any recommendations?" Sui He said
"What do you mean by boss? Just call me Yaniang. What kind of clothes do you need? I'll get them for you." Yaniang looked at Suihe, who was wearing coarse linen clothes. He should be a farmer from the surrounding villages. She thought he should buy some strong and durable cloth to take back.
"I need some white cotton and some thick fabric, Yaniang, do you have any recommendations?" Sui He told Yaniang what he needed.
"Yes, I have everything you mentioned." Yaniang turned around and took a few pieces of cloth from the cabinet, and placed them in front of Suihe, asking Suihe to choose.
"This is cotton, see if you want coarse cotton or fine cotton, this is linen, see which one you want"
"Yaniang, how much are these two kinds of cloth?" Sui He flipped through the cloth on the counter and found that it was indeed thick.
"Fine cotton cloth is twenty cents a foot, and linen is fifteen cents a foot. The ones I choose for you are all strong and durable. The clothes made from them will not break even if you wear them for years," Yaniang replied with a smile.
Sui He calculated that one layer was about 30 centimeters. Cloth was really expensive in ancient times. No wonder some families couldn't even afford clothes. It cost at least 100 coins to make a piece of clothing, not to mention a whole set of clothes.
Sui He carefully checked it and chose a relatively thin piece of fine cotton cloth, which was used to make tofu.
I chose another piece of earthy brown and another piece of navy blue linen.
"I'll take these three. And some needle and thread. Oh, does Yaniang have any scraps of cloth?"
"Yes, I'll get it for you." Yaniang thought Suihe would only buy a little, but she didn't expect that she bought three pieces at once. This was a lot. She lowered her head and took out a large bag of cloth from under the cabinet.
"You bought so much, so I'll give you these scraps of cloth as a bonus." Anyway, these scraps of cloth are worthless, just scraps of cloth, and there's no use for them. Usually, she gives them as a favor to customers who buy a lot.
"Thank you very much, Yaniang." Suihe paid the silver, picked up the cloth, folded it and put it in the basket, said goodbye to Yaniang, and left.
After walking around for most of the day and finding nothing to do, I got up and walked towards the government office. I wondered how my second grandfather and the others were handling the situation.
I wandered to the government office and found out that Village Chief Zhao had arranged everything in advance. They processed the land deeds and household registration very quickly and had already left.
Sui He's heart skipped a beat. Did she play for too long and forget the time?
Then, a running figure appeared on the street, running towards the city gate. From a distance, a group of familiar people were seen standing at the city gate.
"Grandpa!" Sui He shouted, speeding up and running to them.
"Suihe, where have you been?" Second Grandpa reached out and took down Suihe's backpack and put it on the cart, which was already full of things.
Sui He said: "I went to buy some things, so I was delayed for a while. Did you wait for me for a long time?"
"Not long ago, we just came out, now that everyone is here, let's go back." Village Chief Zhao saw Sui He coming out and greeted everyone.
Lin Youwang pulled the cart, and several villagers pushed it from behind. Suihe walked easily without any heavy objects on his shoulders, and finally returned to the village at sunset.
After saying goodbye to everyone, the second grandfather took Suihe home.
As soon as I reached the gate of the yard, I saw my second grandmother standing at the gate looking towards the village entrance.
Sui He ran forward quickly: "Grandma, Grandpa and I are back"
The second grandmother responded, "I heard the sound of the car from a distance, and I thought you were back. You must be hungry, come in and eat."
It was already dark. Sui He took out the kerosene lamp he had just bought, lit it, and took out the things he had bought one by one.
"Grandma, this is the cloth and needles and thread I bought for you. When you have time, make clothes out of them. This is the food I bought..."
"Oh, so many things, how much cloth did you buy?" Second Grandma touched this and that curiously, picked up a piece of material and touched it carefully.
Sui He pushed two pieces of cloth in front of them and said, "You can use these pieces of cloth to make a few more clothes for you to wear. Don't be reluctant to wear them. When I make tofu, we will have money."
"Okay, Sui Sui, why don't you buy yourself some cloth and make some clothes?" The second grandfather looked at the cloth in front of him, and then looked at Sui He's basket, and found that there was only their cloth. Sui He didn't buy any for himself.
"I have clothes to wear, so don't buy more now. I'll buy them later. Grandpa, your clothes have all been burned. You need more."
Seeing Sui He say this, Second Grandpa said nothing more, took out the land deed and household registration and put them on the table: "This is the household registration and land deed, which cost two taels of silver. Sui He doesn't have the household registration before, which is a bit troublesome. Fortunately, Father Lin and others acted as guarantors. I spent a little more silver and got it done. From now on, he will be in the same household registration with us."
"Oh, it's true, let me see it." The second grandmother took the household registration, flipped through it, and tears fell as she looked at it: "That's great, Sui Sui, you will be a member of my family from now on."
"Grandma, this is a good thing. We will settle down here and we will be a family in the future." Sui He saw the wet eyes of the second grandmother and hurried forward to comfort her.
The second grandfather glanced at his wife and knew that she was fine, just too excited, so he continued: "I have already decided on the blue bricks and tiles, and they will be delivered to us in a few days. The wood needed for building the house can be bought in the village. Just chop down the wood you like. The weather has been hot recently, so the work will go fast. The village chief said that he will help us find someone to check the foundation tomorrow, and we can start construction at a certain time."
"Old woman, put the things away. Sui Sui has been running all day and is tired. Go to bed early. Get up early tomorrow and we will go pick wood and stones." After the second grandfather arranged everything, he urged the two to go to bed.
"Okay, Grandpa and grandma, go to bed early," Suihe said, and then he got up and went back to his room. After a busy day, Suihe simply washed up and fell asleep.
The night outside is getting dark, and the only sound in the quiet village is the chirping of insects.
