After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 62 Buying Cloth

Yes, work clothes!

Work clothes are not just an identity symbol, but also contribute to the hygienic environment of the workshop.

It can also improve the cohesion of workshop workers.

"Tangtang, are you really going to distribute clothes to the people in the workshop?"

Shen Tang nodded. She had already thought of the style of clothes.

"The material of the clothes should be as wear-resistant as possible, the color should be dark and stain-resistant, and it should be made into a short style to make it convenient for people to work."

As Shen Tang spoke, he sketched out the style in his mind.

"Aunt, please go to town with me tomorrow morning to pick out some fabrics."

For professional matters, you should find professionals.

Shen Qingqing couldn't help but click her tongue. After the workshop recruited workers, including the cooks and patrolling men, there were almost a hundred people.

To make a set of clothes for one person, at least ten feet of cloth is needed, which means more than twenty pieces of cloth.

If everyone were to have a set of clothes, it would cost at least ten taels of silver.

Shen Qingqing thought about it and was shocked.

But when he saw that Shen Dashan and Liu's expressions did not change at all, he responded and came down.

The next morning.

When Shen Tang got up, he found that Shen Dashan and Shen Qingqing were already waiting there.

"Your father knew you needed a carriage, and he didn't sleep well last night, so he was waiting to drive the carriage."

Liu served Shen Tang a bowl of porridge and spoke with a smile.

Shen Dashan heard it at the door and also scratched his head and smiled.

Who wouldn't be happy about this? If this gets out to others, he'll be known as the best horse-drawn carriage driver in the surrounding area.

This is a horse-drawn carriage!

Shen Qingqing also got up early in the morning, and Qin Yan even surrounded Shen Dashan's legs, trying to please him. Qin Wanwan didn't dare to get close to the carriage, and stood under the eaves, looking at him.

So Shen Tang quickly finished the porridge in the bowl and waved his little hand.

"Then today, our whole family will take a carriage to town together!"

Take a ride!

The happiest person was Qin Yan. The Qin family also had a carriage, but not only was the carriage small, but the horse was also short and old.

Moreover, Qin Yan had only ridden in a carriage a few times until he was five years old.

Now sitting in such a nice carriage, my eyes are full of surprises.

Shen Dashan held the reins tightly, sat in the front of the car, and swallowed.

Liu also kept touching the cushion, and with Shen Dashan's gentle "Gee", the carriage started moving.

The carriage passed through Shenjia Village. Even though I already knew that Shen Tang had bought a carriage, I still couldn't help but admire it.

Shen Tao was carrying a backpack and had just walked to the village entrance when she heard the sound of horse hooves behind her.

It’s Shen Tang’s family.

Seeing the envy on the villagers' faces, Shen Tao slowly tightened his grip on the sickle, but still resisted the urge to step forward and say hello.

But unexpectedly, Shen Dashan drove the carriage and passed by Shen Tao quickly without stopping at all.

Once people have money, they will change. Even her usually kind and honest uncle now looks down on her.

In fact, Shen Tao blamed Shen Dashan wrongly. It was because Shen Dashan was a new driver on the road and only paid attention to the road in front of him and Zhuiyun in front of him, and did not pay attention to his surroundings at all.

Shen Dashan, who was filled with excitement and nervousness, had no idea that his niece Shen Tao had already resented him as well.

Shen Tang leaned against the wall of the car, not feeling excited at all. He was used to cars in later generations, and the carriage was really too bumpy.

In the past, when I rode in an ox cart, the speed was slow, but I didn’t notice it. But now that I have switched to a horse cart and the speed has increased, the bumpy feeling is extremely obvious.

The roads from Shenjia Village to Qingshan Town are mostly gravel roads, and there are even a few sections of yellow dirt roads.

It's fine on sunny days, but once it rains, it's full of mud.

Shen Tang: It looks like the road reconstruction plan for Shenjia Village will have to be brought forward, but cement requires limestone and clay, which are not available in the short term, so we have to find other alternatives.

The other people in the carriage were completely different from Shen Tang. They just felt extremely excited.

"Horse-drawn carriages are really good. They are much more comfortable to sit in than ox-drawn carriages."

There was an obvious smile in Liu's words.

"Yes, this carriage is not worse than some of the wealthy families in this town."

Shen Qingqing responded.

Although it was bumpy, a horse carriage was still a horse carriage, and it was still much faster than an ox cart.

In less than an hour, Shen Tang and his group arrived at Qingshan Town.

Shen Dashan led the carriage away, saying that Zhuiyun was tired after a morning's work and wanted to go eat some fodder. Qin Yan was reluctant to leave the carriage, so he followed him.

The remaining two pairs of mother and daughter went to the cloth shop together.

The common people in Da Qi used linen, and the common people mostly used coarse linen. Fine cloth was only finely made, softened and refined linen.

When the cloth shop owner saw two pairs of mother and daughter coming in wearing fine cloth, he knew that they were good customers.

So he greeted him warmly with a smile on his face.

"Isn't it that you guys want to buy something? Our cloth shop just received a batch of new materials these days. Would you like to take a look?"

"Please, boss, pick some for us to look at first."

Shen Qingqing took the initiative to speak. She came here with a mission today.

The price of coarse cloth is relatively cheap, and one piece of fine cloth can buy two pieces of coarse cloth.

The owner of the cloth shop brought several kinds of fabrics and enthusiastically explained them to Shen Qingqing and Liu.

"Madam is looking for wear-resistant material. Take a look at this."

After hearing Shen Qingqing's request, the cloth shop owner recommended a few pieces of cloth.

Shen Qingqing and Liu both touched the materials, and after a moment, they picked one and nodded to Shen Tang.

"Then take twenty pieces of this material first."

Shen Tang spoke,

"Also, take two of these red and blue ones."

Generous!

He asked for more than twenty pieces of cloth at a time, and the owner of the cloth shop couldn't stop smiling.

After buying the cloth, Liu picked out a few pieces of fine fabric with bright colors.

Shen Tang has grown significantly taller now, and her old clothes are not only made of poor material but also no longer fit. I just bought some new clothes for the children.

Because so many people bought, the cloth shop also provided delivery service.

After they ordered the cloth, they followed Liu to buy other things.

The salt in the workshop was used up, so Liu came over to buy some.

There are small stalls selling goods along the street.

"Fish, big, fresh carp, look at it!"

"Shaobing, delicious shaobing, please give me some, madam."

Liu bought some salt and also took a few baked buns with her, which she stuffed into the hands of several people.

“How much do you sell this fish?”

Liu squatted in front of the fish stall.

"Forty cents a pound! It's fresh, freshly caught!"

There are not many carps of different sizes in the basin, only about six or seven.

Liu picked a larger fish and the other party tied it with a straw rope.
