Jinxiu Nanzhi, determined to be the richest woman

Chapter 130 Making a wedding quilt

When the cotton arrived, I just waited for the old master to come. There was no way, there were relatively few people who could afford cotton, let alone several kilograms of cotton quilts.

A total of thirty kilograms of cotton were recovered. One kilogram was collected at the official price of twenty cents per kilogram, a total of six hundred pennies.

This was something Yu Muyun didn't expect. There is such a shortage of cotton now. Logically speaking, the price should go up!

"Is it really six hundred coins?" Yu Muyun couldn't believe it.

"It's really six hundred. The main reason is that each household doesn't store much. In addition, the government has lowered the price. The price that the common people sell cotton to the government has been suppressed. It's only this price per pound, and the common people think that The market is booming!" Yu Jiajin moved the cotton inside.

Although the price is not high, twenty cents is already a lot for an ordinary family.

"It's not easy for the common people. They grow this cotton every year. They don't want to use it themselves, so they sell it, mainly to supply it to the government. They usually only buy it for about ten kilograms. It's not cost-effective, so they can only sell it to the government!"

"The government collects these cottons at a lower price, and it is common for the government to benefit from the people. The amount advanced by the government will not be the same amount when it comes to the officials below!" Uncle Yu looked at Yu Muyun and said.

Listening to the elders' words, Yu Muyun felt that no matter what time, the phenomenon of eating food from above was still common.

After setting aside ten kilograms, Tian Yinian gave the rest to be used for pulling silk and weaving.

After drawing and dyeing, the fabric is woven.

Yu Muyun didn't plan to add other materials and just used cotton silk.

Except for one bright red horse, there are others in various colors, most of them are bright colors, there are relatively few elegant colors, and there are also dark, black and ink dyed ones.

On June 18, the old master came to the house with his two sons, carrying tools of all sizes.

The Yu family can only provide a large table, and the rest needs to be prepared by the master.

The Yu family had already picked out the impurities from the cotton in advance and dried it in the sun for two days before putting it away.

The rest is left to the master.

Not all ten pounds of cotton were used, only nine pounds were used, and finally a large cotton quilt measuring two meters was made.

The elastic cotton was fixed with silk thread, and a layer of white gauze was added on the outside. The quilt was mostly done. ,

The rest needs to be added with a coat, which is still white cloth and sewn with red silk in the middle. It is all red silk woven by ourselves, with various patterns on it.

But some patterns are not just for those who want to use them. In the end, the patterns of albizia flowers and mandarin ducks were used, which can be used by ordinary people.

"Master, I'm really troubling you today!"

"Don't talk about this, just make a wedding quilt. It's too late for me to be happy! Why bother? This is a festive event. The wedding is at the end of the year?"

"It's the end of the year! Make two warm quilts to take with you!" Mrs. Yu replied with a smile.

"Your family is the most willing to accept the business I have taken on!" The old master nodded.

I paid the consultant eighty cents for the work. After all, this was the only one doing it, so it was already cheap, plus the errands were also included.

"Master, wait a minute! I'll get something!" Mrs. Yu hurriedly went in, filled some candies and shortbread cookies with oil paper, and took them out.

"Master, if you take this sugar cookie, it will be a witness to the two children!"

"This is impossible!"

"Hey! Take it, it's a happy event! Don't dislike it. It's a long journey, so it's a good idea to hold it in your belly on the way!" Old Mrs. Yu stuffed it back.

"If you are interested, then I wish your daughter-in-law and son-in-law a happy marriage!" The old master accepted the offer anyway, said a few auspicious words before leaving with his two sons.

On June 18th, the Yu family was happy to be beaten. But during the Chinese New Year, the old Yu family made trouble, trying to frame Yu Jiajin's Zhang Jinhua, the daughter of the butcher family, and the old man who lived in the shack. The drunkard made a lot of noise.

Originally, Zhang Jinhua had a relationship with this old drunkard. The old drunkard was irresponsible, but Zhang Jinhua's marriage was difficult. Zhang Jinhua's story spread all over the country. Zhang Jinhua's parents had already planned to sell their daughter for six taels of silver. Zhang Jinhua was unwilling to be a stepmother to someone from outside the province, but now she had no choice but to listen to her parents and marry outside the province so that no one would know about her affairs.

The reason why it was delayed until June was because this matter was really difficult to handle. I asked several matchmakers, but they all said there was nothing they could do. Finally, I found a turtle man who was willing to take over the matter. Jinhua Niang was also cruel and gave her two taels. Yinzi, that turtle man even came to see Zhang Jinhua in person and learned about Zhang Jinhua's affairs.

But don’t think about it if you’re from this province, you can only go outside the province. When they heard about outside the province, the butcher and his wife were a little hesitant, but finally agreed.

It took more than a month for the turtle master to come back. He said that there was an old man who wanted to marry a stepmother. The appearance and family were not required. Zhang Jinhua's situation was nothing. If he was willing to accept it, he would pay Zhang Jinhua six taels of silver. He was carried through the door, but not in a big way. He was carried through the door in a small sedan chair.

When Jinhua Niang heard that there were six taels of silver, she was still a little excited, but the other person was a big man, so Jinhua Niang thought that if she ordered more, she wouldn't ask for any banquets, and her family wouldn't be able to eat it.

"You're already a big boss, why are you offering only six taels?" Jin Hua Niang said in a pretentious manner.

"Hey, old sister-in-law, what's going on with your daughter! If it hadn't been for that thing, she wouldn't have married outside the province! Six liang is already very good. If that thing hadn't happened to your girl, she would have married an ordinary girl. I don’t even have a bride price of sixty taels! Sister-in-law, you have to think clearly. You are a big man, and you can still find a young girl if you want. If you have more money then, what will happen to your girl!" The turtle twirled his orchid finger and said, his face covered with thick white powder, it might be scary this late at night!

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll give you three days. If it doesn't work! I won't accept your daughter. I'll pay you back the twenty taels of silver. I can always find a better one for the old man!" After saying this, Mr. Turtle said He twirled his orchid fingers and stood up, not at all intimidated by the beauty of the golden flower girl.

This Mr. Turtle was famous all over the country. When he arrived at Butcher Zhang's house, everyone knew about it.

"I heard that Mr. Turtle introduced some kind of big man from outside the province, but as word spread, I also found out that the big man from outside the province actually had some land in his family. He rented it out. You are stingy, so you have what you have now!”

"This eldest man has been married five times and has many concubines at home. I don't know why he doesn't have a wife!"

The aunts who visited the Yu family told all the recent gossip in the village.
