Shuiqing thinks Shanshui Village is quite nice.
It's true, there are mountains and water, and the air is fresh. Most importantly, we have fields, land, and forests here. The place is big, so building houses, growing vegetables, and raising livestock are all very convenient.
Most of the villagers are also simple and honest, so when Wang Guifen came to ask her for her opinion on organizing a village banquet, she helped to provide suggestions.
The two chatted for a while about the specific dishes for the village banquet. Wang Guifen thanked them repeatedly and then happily went back.
Shui Qing got up, went to the herbal medicine shop, and announced that everyone would be made work clothes.
Aunt Wu, Zhao Lan, and other older women thought they had misheard and looked on incredulously.
They had only been working at the herbal medicine shop for a year, less than two months, when Shuiqing started making clothes for them.
Four sets of clothes! Both made of fine and coarse cotton!
You know, the money for one set of coarse cotton clothes can make two sets of linen clothes, and one set of fine cotton clothes can make four sets of linen clothes. Strange, if these four sets were converted into linen, how many sets would that make?
There are too many to count.
The young women, including Li Tiantian, Xu Ting, and Fan Xiang, were so moved they didn't know what to do.
That's fine cotton cloth, something they could only dream of!
They thought it was already very good to buy a fabric flower, but they never expected that Sister Shuiqing would make four sets of cotton clothes for them!
Especially since these four sets of fabric were given to them themselves, the leftover scraps could make several pairs of cloth shoes!
Shuiqing's sister-in-law specifically stated that they only needed to ensure they had four sets of clothes, and they could decide how to distribute the rest themselves.
The young women who don't know how to sew have already figured it out: whoever in the family helps with sewing will get the extra fabric. This way, they can save time and energy to work hard, and the person who helps with sewing won't lose out.
The five women, Li Dani and Zhou Yu, were at a loss.
Do they receive a monthly wage?
But the lady said that they were part of the herbal medicine shop, so naturally they had to have it.
Those are cotton clothes, and the lady just gave them to me as she asked!
"As for the color, I'm thinking that since our herbal medicine shop has a lot of people, both young and old, it wouldn't be good if all the clothes were either delicate or old and dull. I'm thinking of making the inner garments uniformly light blue, and the winter clothes dark green. The inner garments would be lighter than the outer ones, so the transition would be natural and not dull. Besides, the darker color of the winter clothes is more resistant to dirt. Is that alright?"
The people in the courtyard just thought, "What can't be done?"
They didn't care about the old and dark fabric; it was cotton, and Shui Qing gave it to them for free, so how could they not accept it?
"Sure! Anything is fine, you decide, I'll wear whatever you have!"
"Me too, they're all good materials, what's there to be picky about!" Sister Shuiqing was too polite, she even asked for their opinions. Who wouldn't be happy with such good materials? Only Sister Shuiqing cared about them and even asked about their color preferences.
“Madam’s arrangements are certainly better than ours; we will follow Madam’s lead in everything,” Zhou Yu said respectfully.
As soon as she finished speaking, all the women and girls in Shanshui Village looked at her, their mouths slightly open.
Oh my god!
