"good".
The proprietress took the money and quickly started giving Wei Yuyan change, while Leng Feng simply carried the quilt onto the carriage.
"And what kind of clothes would suit him?"
Wei Yuyan never thought of making clothes for him; she probably just bought ready-made ones.
"It's upstairs, shall we go up and take a look?"
The proprietress mainly sells fabrics on the first floor, and there are few customers buying ready-made clothes, so she moved the ready-made clothes to the second floor.
"Yu Yan, go and go see, I'll wait for you here."
Wu Chen, whose legs were injured, had already found a stool and sat down.
The cold wind is blowing, and I don't know why the blankets haven't come yet.
"Oh well".
Wei Yuyan also felt that it was a bit difficult to ask him to go upstairs.
Wei Yuyan followed the proprietress to the second floor, and was surprised to find that the second floor was so spacious.
"There are men, women, young and old, take a look."
The proprietress even poured Wei Yuyan a cup of tea so she could drink it while watching.
"How much is this?"
Wei Yuyan took a liking to a blue padded jacket, which looked very warm.
"This one is made of Yun brocade, it's a bit more expensive, it costs six hundred coins."
The clothes the proprietress makes here are all made of expensive fabrics; in fact, she doesn't make any clothes out of coarse cloth.
"Oh? That's so expensive! What about this one?"
Wei Yuyan didn't expect this dress to be so expensive; if she bought the fabric, she could have made several more outfits.
Then I saw a light blue long coat next to me, which probably wasn't too expensive.
"This one is cheaper than the previous one, only three hundred coins."
The proprietress took off her blue long coat and showed it to Wei Yuyan.
"Hey, sir, where are my sister-in-law and the others?"
Leng Feng straightened the blankets and came in, only to see Grandpa sitting there alone.
"Looking at clothes upstairs"
Wu Chen pointed upstairs.
"Then shall we go up?"
The cold wind was curious.
"Don't go up, just wait here."
Wu Chen just wanted to see what kind of clothes Wei Yuyan would choose for him.
The thought of wearing the clothes she personally chose for me makes me quite happy.
As he thought about it, Wu Chen couldn't help but smile.
Seeing Wu Chen beside him looking completely bewildered, he wondered if the old man's behavior—sometimes gloomy, sometimes silly grinning—was a lingering effect of his previous injury.
"Boss lady, can you give me a discount? I've spent quite a bit of money at your store."
Wei Yuyan thought this set was alright, and the price wasn't outrageously expensive.
"This set will cost you 280 coins, which is already the best deal."
When the proprietress heard that Wei Yuyan wanted to buy it, she was so happy she almost lost her teeth.
"Take this set with you, and go downstairs to check out some fabrics."
Wei Yuyan was thinking that since it was almost Chinese New Year this month, she needed to buy fabric in advance to make new clothes for everyone.
"Okay, okay."
The proprietress never expected to encounter such a big customer today.
"Let's see how big it is."
Wei Yuyan tossed the blue long coat to Leng Feng, asking him to compare it with Wu Chen's.
"It's quite suitable."
Leng Feng made Wu Chen stand up and put it on him; it was about the right size.
"Boss, eight feet of red fabric, twenty-three feet of blue, and eleven feet of cyan."
"Cold wind, do you have any clothes with you? Should I make you a new one?"
Wei Yuyan bought fabric for Xiao Lei, Qian Qian, herself, and Wu Chen. Remembering that Leng Feng was still there, she figured it wouldn't make a difference.
"Sister-in-law, I brought clothes with me, you don't need to make them for me."
Leng Feng and Wu Chen both brought a set of clothes with them when they went out, but after they came back...
Wu Chen felt that the clothes he brought looked strange and didn't fit in with the place, so he decided not to wear them.
"Your clothes aren't warm enough, let me make you a set too."
Wei Yuyan thought that Leng Feng wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, so it wouldn't matter if she got a full set of clothes.
This time, we're making so many clothes that we definitely won't be able to handle it all. We'll need to ask Sister Xiuhua and Aunt Guihua for help.
Xiuhua's sister-in-law was bored out of her mind at home.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Leng Feng grinned from ear to ear. Who wouldn't be happy to have new clothes to wear, especially something so significant?
"You're welcome, ma'am. Give me thirteen feet of that black one, and also some cotton, fourteen pounds of cotton. How much is it all?"
Wei Yuyan didn't know if she had enough money in her purse. If not, she would have them send it home and take the money with them.
Making cotton-padded clothes in winter is quite expensive, as the cotton itself costs a lot of money.
"The fabric alone costs 530 cash, plus 280 cash for the clothes and 280 cash for the cotton, totaling 1090 cash. I'll give you 150 cash."
After the proprietress finished calculating, she began cutting the fabric.
"One or two taels, I didn't bring that much money with me, this is all I have left."
Wei Yuyan discovered that she only had this much money left, barely enough to pay the bill.
"This, this won't do, little sister, so much is missing all at once..."
The proprietress seemed somewhat embarrassed, wondering if Wei Yuyan still had money she didn't want to pay.
"If it doesn't work out, then forget it. I'll go check out other places."
Wei Yuyan refused to believe it. It was just a discount of fifty coins; she had bought almost two taels of silver worth of goods from her house today.
"No, no, no, I didn't say I wouldn't sell it to you, it's a misunderstanding, come on, I'll be quick."
The proprietress quickly put the money away and then began cutting and wrapping the fabric.
“Our carriage is piled with a lot of stuff, sister-in-law, you two might have to squeeze in.”
The cold wind was creating another opportunity for Wu Chen.
"Then I'll sit outside with you."
Wei Yuyan didn't want to squeeze in with him; what kind of image would that make?
"ah?".
Leng Feng was now drenched in sweat. Oh no, he was going to beat himself to death.
"It's windy outside, come inside."
Wu Chen paused as he was getting into the car, then turned around and told Wei Yuyan to get in.
If Wei Yuyan and Leng Feng were to sit together, people who didn't know better would think they were a couple.
After saying that, he glared at Leng Feng.
"All right".
Wei Yuyan didn't care about the elderly, weak, sick, or disabled, and went straight inside. Sure enough, just as Leng Feng had said, there wasn't much room left.
If two people are sitting, they should sit very close together.
After getting into the carriage, Wei Yuyan thought to herself that when her sister and brother-in-law's family came at the beginning of next month, she should also buy them all a new set of clothes.
I need to finish these sets as soon as possible, as I don't have much time lately.
There's market day tomorrow, and I'll be coming to town this evening to help out.
Before, I was worried about them living at home, but now that Wu Chen is back, there's nothing to worry about.
"Cold wind, take all the quilts to the new house and stuff them into the closet to prevent them from getting dusty."
Wei Yuyan thought she wasn't planning to build it yet. The weather had been nice lately, not too cold, so she decided to wait until she moved to her new house to build it, which would feel more ceremonial.
"good".
Leng Feng took out and put everything else away before going out.
Wei Yuyan didn't bother to tidy up; instead, she started by preparing the pig's trotters.
I cooked two pounds of pig's trotters today, and I'll save half for tomorrow.
Once the pig's trotters were stewing, Wei Yuyan sorted out the fabric, thread, and cotton.
I'll hand over the task after we finish eating.
