I trade in both worlds

"Can you please speak properly?" Xu Ziqing was angry.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." Xu Ziqi said perfunctorily, "Since you said so, I'll tell my parents first and get back to you later."

After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone. Xu Ziqing was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to smash the phone, but he couldn't bear to do so. He could only comfort himself mentally and think of it as the price of stealing a phone.

I didn’t know how Xu Ziqi communicated with his parents, but I received a call from Xu Ziqi the next morning.

The final conclusion was to clean up the utility room, throw away the broken and useless things, and move the remaining things to the garage.

Put the shelves in the utility room against the inner wall of the garage. If they are not enough, buy a few two-meter-high shelves online. Are you still worried that there won’t be enough space for the things you clear out?

The bathroom next to the garage is also used by Xu Xu. The bathroom is under the stairs. The entire space is quite large and a washing machine can be placed at the door.

Install a water barrier on the innermost side of the toilet to make it a bathroom, and then install an electric water heater and a washbasin, it would be perfect.

Xu Xu and Xu Ziqing spent three days dismantling the shelves in the utility room and then moving them to the garage to install them, placing them against the outer courtyard wall.

The garage at Xu Ziqing's house is quite large, about the size of three and a half parking spaces in a shopping mall. Normally, he would only drive two cars at most when he came back. Even with a row of shelves, it still looked empty.

Xu Ziqing bought several large boxes from the scrap yard, packed all the things in the utility room into them, and placed them on the shelves. After he was done, one-third of the shelves were still empty.

After cleaning the utility room, Xu Ziqing found someone to divide it into four areas.

The entire utility room is about 17 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. There are 6 windows on the three walls of the entire utility room.

A small living room and an open kitchen were built outside, and all partitions were made into storage cabinets, so there is no need to worry about storage.

The innermost room was built as a studio, with a customized work table that was 1.5 meters deep and 2 meters long. The two middle rooms were built as rooms, each with a bunk bed.

After ten days of hard work, the utility room was finally renovated. The renovation and home appliances cost Xu Xu more than 8 yuan in total.

During this period, Xu Youyin also borrowed 70 taels from Xu Xu and bought a two-story house facing the street in the alley. He demolished the wall facing the street, built a half wall, opened a window, and specialized in selling egg cakes. The house at the back could be used for living, and most importantly, there was a well in the house.

Because of this well, the price of the house is 20 taels more expensive than houses of the same size and in the same location.

When looking at houses, Xu Xu also went along. The house was not cheap, but it was large and the house was well preserved. At that moment, she also had the idea of buying a property in the county town.

However, we still have to wait a few years until the twins are older before considering buying a house. Now the children are too young, and it would be too conspicuous to buy a house in the county town.

After the Xu family store opened, Xu Xu remembered that Xu Ziqing had already posted three videos and put three styles of clothing on the shelves, and wondered if they had been sold.

I picked up my phone, opened my watch list, clicked on the small yellow carts under each video, and found that the cheongsam in the second video was out of stock.

Xu Xu excitedly shouted to Xu Ziqing: "Sister Qing, the clothes are sold."

"You just noticed after the clothes were already on the person." Xu Ziqing didn't even bother to look at her and continued to concentrate on editing the video.

"I've been busy lately." Xu Xu muttered embarrassedly.

Xu Ziqing replied unhappily: "Okay, I know you're busy, so hurry up and get to work. Go see how much fabric you have left and see if you want to buy some."

"I'll go right away." Knowing that the clothes could be sold, Xu Xu walked a lot more briskly.

Seeing that the clothes have been hung out for more than half a month and have not been sold yet, and the money in the account is decreasing every day, Xu Xu is still very anxious. Now that the clothes have been sold, he can finally feel a little relieved.

In the next few days, Xu Xu continued to design styles, look for fabrics, and design clothes. However, only one piece of clothing was sold, and Xu Xu began to get anxious again.

In late August, the custom business finally opened, and a customer who had bought a cheongsam before contacted Xu Ziqing.

We want to design a new Chinese Hanfu specifically for the customer. The design should be simple and elegant, not complicated, but also reflect the elegance of Hanfu.

The fabric is also required to be brocade, and the pattern and color should be matched according to the customer's own needs. The other party also suggested that the fabric should preferably be hand-woven brocade, and if it is plain brocade, it would be best to embroider it with dark patterns, but the price should not be too expensive.

Xu Ziqing held the word "MMP" in his mouth and sucked it back and forth, but it didn't dissolve.

Finally, he bought a mini camera, asked Xu Xu to make a cloth cover for it, decorated it, and then took Xu Xu to Jinxiu Pavilion.

After bidding for all the brocades in Jinxiu Pavilion, Xu Xu finally chose two pieces of cloth, one of which was rose-red brocade, and both pieces of cloth had dark patterns woven into them.

From a distance it looks like plain brocade, but when you get closer you can see lotus patterns woven on the cloth with light-colored threads. The fabric is very elegant.

There is another one that is similar, but it is light blue in color, and it is woven with light-colored threads and has a double-layered floral brocade, which is also very beautiful.

Of course, the price of these two pieces of cloth was also very attractive. After the discount, Fengjie spent a total of six taels of silver, which is equivalent to six thousand yuan in modern times.

The price of silk in the Dayun Dynasty fluctuates greatly. The best ones cost several hundred taels each, while the worst ones cost one thousand eight hundred wen each. Of course, this does not include the special ones, and the price of that is inestimable.

The cloth that I bought for six taels of silver is considered to be of medium quality among brocades.

When they left, they bought all the scraps of cloth in the store, planning to go back and cut them up to make color cards.

After returning, the two of them poured out the scraps of cloth, picked out the ones with good patterns and put them in a pile. Looking at the scraps of cloth of different sizes among the picked out cloth, Xu Ziqing felt a bit of a headache.

The scraps of cloth are too small, so the patterns are incomplete after being cut into pieces. But the big ones are not that big either, just the size of a palm, and the shapes are irregular, so it is not feasible to use them as sample cloth.

Xu Xu measured and calculated with a ruler for a long time and found that if he wanted to cut them all into the same size, he could only cut them to 5*5 cm at most.

Xu Ziqing gestured with the scraps of cloth for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "That's it. Sew ten pieces of cloth together and sort them by color and pattern."

After making the color cards, Xu Ziqing took the price of Dayun Dynasty's cloth and compared it with the price of brocade woven by modern machines. She saw that Xiangyunsha cost 1,300 yuan per meter, and the price of this ancient pure hand-woven cloth must not be lower than that, so she set the price at 1,500 yuan per meter.

After determining the price of the cloth, Xu Ziqing began to bargain with the other party, and finally both parties were satisfied with the price of 12,000 yuan.

Xu Xu was a little shocked. Who would want it when it’s so expensive?
