The second piece of fabric was black. When I opened it and looked at it, I found that it was quite large; it seemed to be enough to make clothes for at least three adults and still have some left over.

However, the fabric was thin and the color was uneven, making it look as if it had faded after washing.

The third piece is gray and a bit thick. It's just the right size to make clothes for two adults, but it's been cut into three pieces. If you want to make clothes from it, you'll have to piece it together.

Although it has flaws, aside from being a bit ugly, it's not unwearable to make it into clothes.

With 5 adults and 2 children in the family, plus blankets, even if we wanted all this fabric, it probably wouldn't be enough.

"Sister Niu, look, if I replace all these fabrics, how will you replace them?"

Niu Jinju originally thought that 6 jin of wheat plus 3 bars of soap would at most get her 2 pieces of cloth in exchange.

Of course, we can't say that from the beginning.

She'll start by offering one piece of fabric, then slowly work her way up until they reach a deal for two pieces, so she won't lose out.

That way, people will feel like they've gotten a good deal.

When Ning Jing said she wanted all three pieces of fabric, her eyes lit up immediately.

She got these fabrics without spending a single penny.

She quickly did some mental calculations and then said, "Since you're so generous, I won't beat around the bush with you."

Besides these 6 jin of wheat and 3 bars of soap, give me another 2 yuan!

As you know, plain weave fabric now costs 15 cents per foot, and twill fabric costs 25 cents per foot.

Although these have some flaws, they are all made of twill fabric.

"Feel it, the feel isn't affected at all."

Ning Jing gave a grateful smile. Although she didn't understand what plain weave or twill fabric was, it didn't stop her from understanding what Niu Jinju was saying.

Although her three pieces of cloth had flaws, they were all good things.

"Then thank you very much, Sister Niu. By the way, I wonder if Sister Niu can get some cotton?"

I want to get a set of cotton quilts for my kids so they won't be left without anything to cover themselves with in winter.

Ning Jing took out the money and handed it to Niu Jinju, then casually asked a question.

When Niu Jinju heard Ning Jing's words, she gave her a strange look.

Then he whispered, "Girl, please stop saying things like that!"

You can't just buy cotton like that. If you really want some, it's best to exchange it for cotton coupons.

However, now that everyone only receives a few ounces of cotton coupons each year, which family doesn't need a cotton quilt?

The implication was clear: exchanging cotton coupons for cotton coupons was virtually impossible.

Ning Jing was stunned by Niu Jinju's words: cotton can't be bought and sold freely?

After Niu Jinju helped Ning Jing fold the fabric, she put it in the basket so that no one could tell that anything was amiss.

People from the textile factory live upstairs and downstairs; it wouldn't be good if they were seen here.

When she saw Ning Jing out, she noticed that Ning Jing was walking with a limp.

"Girl, what happened to your foot?"

Niu Jinju exclaimed in surprise and asked.

Ning Jing was speechless. She had been inside for quite some time, and it was only after seeing her out that she realized she was now Tieguai Li (a legendary Chinese martial arts master).

"It's nothing, I just twisted my ankle."

Oh, and please give my regards to Director Jia.

"If I need it in the future, Sister Niu, you must keep a close eye on it for me."

Upon hearing this, Niu Jinju knew that this business was definitely a long-term venture.

His eyes immediately narrowed into a smile.

"Okay, I'll definitely put a good one in front of you if I find one."

Girls, don't forget to save some good stuff for your older sister.

"Anything edible, it doesn't matter what it is."
