Shen Cui looked at Mu Erpang from head to toe. She was so tired that she couldn't eat her breakfast. She asked hesitantly, "What are you looking at, mother?"
Shen Cui hummed, "Nothing, I just thought that our academy has been completed, and we need to make a school uniform. Don't worry about it, go and do your own things after dinner, I will think about it by myself."
After saying that, Shen Cui picked up the bowl, finished the porridge, and went back to think about making school uniforms.
Come to think of it, she, as the headmaster, had been responsible for cooking before, so this time the system made her have a conscience and only asked her to sew school uniforms for two "students", which was not surprising.
But the trouble is, the task is only completed within one day.
Just after the Chinese New Year, she took Mu Erpang to order spring clothes. The old tailor said that they were lucky because they ordered them now and they would be able to wear them in the spring.
I don’t know if it’s because the old tailor has a lot of orders, or if it just takes so much time to make a set of clothes.
The original body had never done needlework, and Chen Cui had never dabbled in this area. She thought for a long time and then went to ask Zhou for advice, asking her how long it would take to sew a set of clothes.
Zhou was washing clothes in the yard and thought: "If I need to make clothes that fit me well and look good, it would take at least three to five days, or at most half a month to make a set of clothes."
Shen Cui thought about the school uniforms in her previous life. They were only divided into sizes, not fit or appearance. She then asked: "What if they are made loose and only require to be wearable?"
"That will be quick. We can make one set in a day." Zhou said, thinking of what Shen Cui had just said about making school uniforms for the two children, and asked tentatively: "Do you want my help, mother-in-law?"
She used to wish she could split one hour into two, just to do more work and earn more for the family.
But since I started working here, I saved a lot of time fetching water, and suddenly I had more time.
It's also a bit embarrassing to say, but she used to be reluctant to eat white rice and white flour, and basically ate bean flour buns with a simple vegetarian dish. She felt weak and sometimes even dizzy.
But now Chen Cui took her to eat with her every meal. Although she was embarrassed to eat more, she was nourished by the fine grains at every meal. She ate well and felt energetic, so she could naturally do her work more efficiently.
She also wanted to give some household expenses, but her mother-in-law Shen Cui refused to accept it.
Today happened to be an opportunity to use her, so Zhou naturally had no objection.
With the help of a capable person like Zhou, the efficiency of making school uniforms will certainly be greatly improved.
But the system required her, as the head of the mountain, to sew, so it was not easy to delegate the task to others. Shen Cui declined Zhou's kindness and asked her to continue with her own work.
Shen Cui thought about things and walked from home to outside the academy.
As soon as I entered, my mind became much clearer.
Although the system was cunning, the time limits for setting tasks were always ample - three days were given to find a famous teacher across levels, and ten days was given to build an academy. There was no reason why she should be so difficult in her daily life.
At most... at most he was just a little dissatisfied with the fact that she had not upgraded the branch line, and seeing that she was well-off recently, he wanted to cheat her of her shopping points.
Her heart moved as she wished, and Shen Cui opened the system mall to take a look!
Well, it’s for sale right on the homepage!
[Item name: College uniform]
[Item description: Made of interstellar materials, the fabric, color, style, and logo can all be designed by the host, and the size can be modified after recycling. It is fireproof, water-repellent, has extremely low wear and tear, keeps warm in winter and cool in summer, is durable, and can be worn for years. After wearing it, your physical fitness will be slightly improved. 】
[Item Price: 200 Points]
After reading this, Shen Cui clicked on her needlework panel.
For a level 0 sewing skill, the recommended items are only small things like headbands, purses, and handkerchiefs. In other words, even if she spends dozens of shopping points to buy system outputs to make them herself, the system will probably regard it as a cross-level skill, and then raise the evaluation standards, and do something like [Ultimate Failure].
She wondered why the system was so generous today and gave the academy a buff effect she had never seen before.
It turns out he's waiting for her here!
Shen Cui was depressed and called out the system in a funny way.
[Brother Tongzi is really unkind. For someone like Zhou who is used to doing hard work, it takes him two days to cut two sets of school uniforms. But you only give me one day, isn't this a disguised form of forced sale? 】
[I have long advised the host to upgrade the side quest. If the host's needlework level is currently level 2, then it will definitely be achievable within a day. Moreover, I have reminded the host before that choosing famous teachers, finding classmates, and building an academy are all tasks that will be released one year later according to the original timeline of the system. So sometimes the host may easily feel overwhelmed by the task... This is the price of crossing levels. 】
It’s no wonder that the knowledge I learned about the Blue Star system was not in vain, and I can speak very clearly and logically.
[That's not right. The task requires me to sew it myself, so how can it count if I buy it in the system? 】
[The school uniforms produced by the system can be designed by the host in terms of style and logo, which is equivalent to completing the manual steps in the host's mind, so they are still made by the host! 】
Chen Cui smiled and said, "Then I understand. I can spend a little more money, find two experienced craftsmen, and ask Zhou Shi to help me cut the cloth and decide the pattern. The only step left is to sew the clothes together. If I do it myself, it will still be made by me!" Isn’t this more engaging than just buying ready-made clothes from the system? 】
[You...] The system was choked again.
Chen Cui was already walking towards the village entrance with brisk steps, "You can't blame me for this. I can indeed afford a school uniform for 200 points, but I can't resist you wanting to empty my pocket every day. I just lost 30 points yesterday. If I spent 400 points today and you only give me 50 points daily, wouldn't I have lost 350 points?" This...it's hard to be poor forever! You can't just skip a grade and end up penniless! 】
The system's voice became weak again. [The daily tasks in the academy are really daily tasks, and they will not always require the host to spend so many shopping points to purchase things. Considering that the host is not particularly wealthy after buying two school uniforms, the tasks in the next half month are all very simple and easy to do. Because the host does not need to use system outputs, as long as they are completed, they will also receive extra rewards. 】
After hearing this, Shen Cui understood.
There are two types of daily tasks in the academy. One type requires the use of system products, so you need to use shopping points to obtain the 50 extra rewards. The other type is not needed, which means you can get it directly as long as you complete it.
The system is so cunning that he won't even say anything unless he tries to trick him. It's probably going to take Chen Cui's time to figure it out.
The system was still saying listlessly: [Host, you really don’t consider…]
At this point, his voice got stuck, because Shen Cui had already bought two school uniforms in the mall and was already thinking about what style to design.
The system has now really been trained by Chen Cui, and it immediately reacted and said: [The host has already decided to buy the system's school uniform, right? 】
Chen Cui admitted generously: [Yes, 200 points for a school uniform is not cheap, but it can be worn for many years, and the size can be modified after recycling, which can also enhance the physical fitness. Xiao Xi is weak and Er Pang is growing, so his clothes and pants are often too small... Last time I went to the city to make clothes for Er Pang, I asked the price, and a set of spring clothes cost him the New Year's money he had saved for ten years. If I hire two masters to help with the work, wouldn't the material and labor costs cost two taels of silver? I have a lot of money now, but I have so many mouths to feed in the family and I can't afford to spend it like this. In comparison, these 200 points are worth it! 】
[The host just now...] The system shut up obediently. What was there to not understand?
Shen Cui was just trying to trick him into thinking that she had found another 'loophole' and promised that daily life would be very easy for the next half month!
It seems that the knowledge he has learned about Blue Star is not enough!
Shen Cui happily started designing the school uniform.
She had been to Shuyuan Street and had seen many styles of scholar's robes.
But the best one I have ever seen is naturally the round-necked silk shirt worn by the Wei brothers.
He went to find Wei Xi and borrowed a piece of clothing from him, saying that he wanted to make a sample.
Wei Xi hesitated for a while, but still told her: "My family bought these clothes, and the price... the price is a little high. And I don't need clothes, so Madam, you can make them for me, and you don't need to spend extra money to make them for me."
This reminded Chen Cui that although she could decide on the fabric herself, silk was definitely not an option, otherwise the material alone for a piece of clothing would cost several taels of silver, which looked too extravagant! It's easy for others to think that she spends money without limit and is extravagant!
"I have an idea of it. It's just a sample. The material won't be so good." As she said this, Shen Cui asked Mu Erpang for the size.
Mu Erpang had just been measured at a tailor shop not long ago, so he still remembered the general idea and told her everything.
Later, Shen Cui said she was going to the city, but in fact she just walked around the village for a few times, found a quiet place to sit and start designing school uniforms.
It has a simple, loose round neckline and is made of fine cotton in an elegant moon-white color. The chest is embroidered with an orchid pattern that is three petals long and wide with narrow roots and corners.
Anyway, it can be recycled and modified, so Shen Cui did not design it very large, but chose the most suitable one according to their clothes or size.
At dinner time, Shen Cui brought two sets of school uniforms back home, saying that she had asked a master craftsman from the city to rush the work.
Mu Erpang had wanted a scholar's robe for a long time, and he tried it on immediately after getting it.
Wei Xi saw that the material was ordinary and guessed that the price should not be expensive, so he accepted her gift.
The two men, one tall and one short, immediately went into the house to try them on. Wei Xi wore this kind of style everyday, so it couldn't be said to be a big change. On the contrary, Mu Erpang was still wearing last year's old clothes. Once he put on the little scholar's robe, he immediately looked more elegant!
The task completion notification appeared and the reward of 50 shopping points was received.
Shen Cui opened the two children's personal data panels and took a look -
Mu Erpang's physical fitness only increased by 1 point, becoming 86 points.
Wei Xi's change is relatively big. He injured his foot at first, and his physical condition fell below the passing line. Later, he used the medicinal wine produced by the system and recovered, but he was still just stuck at the passing line.
As soon as he put on the school uniform produced by this system, his physical fitness became 65 points.
Although it is still not high, as long as you pass it, the chance of getting sick in the future will be greatly reduced.
Shen Cui heaved a sigh of relief, and after dinner she went back to rest immediately. Being a mental designer for an entire afternoon is also very tiring!
Later, as the system promised her, the daily tasks of the academy became much simpler.
Things like organizing a morning exercise, designing a class schedule, personally accompanying the students for half a day, etc., 50 shopping points every day are like free gifts, and the money comes in quickly.
It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and it was February, and the day for Mu Yunchuan to take the county exam had arrived.
