I am a cute little ear, I need a mysterious number to see the content. On the way back to the small yard, he was distracted and noticed a tailor's shop, which hadn't closed yet, so he walked in curiously.

An old craftsman is stepping on a heavy sewing machine, moving the fabric regularly with both hands, and the soles of his feet slide up and down like a seesaw, and then the sharp needles on the sewing machine are threading the needle and thread on the fabric at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Following the movements of the master craftsman, the sewing machine made a rhythmic sound of "tattling".

Cheng Zhou stood by and stared blankly for a long time.

The master worker stopped his work, picked up the extra coils and wrapped them around his fingers, looked at Cheng Zhou, and said kindly, "Little comrade, are you going to make clothes?"

"Ah, yes, yes, I want to make clothes, but I have never been to a tailor shop. How do you charge for making clothes here?" Cheng Zhou came back to his senses and nodded excitedly.

This old craftsman's handicraft is very powerful at first glance, and it happens that he wants to change into the clothes here.

The teacher smiled and introduced in detail: "If you provide the fabric yourself and let us make it into a garment, it is estimated to be about one yuan. The specific price depends on what you want to make, whether it is expensive or not. How long will it take to make it?"

"What if you use the fabrics from the shop?" Cheng Zhou noticed that there were also pieces of fabrics of different colors hanging on the back wall.

"Little comrade, if you want to make yourself a suit of clothes, such as long sleeves and trousers, it will cost at least three yuan, and the fabric ticket will be calculated separately." The old master Xu Xu said.

"I want to make two sets of clothes first, roughly the style I wear, is that okay?"

The price of making clothes is acceptable, and this old craftsman's craftsmanship should be very good, so Cheng Zhou decided to make clothes here.

Hearing this, the old master looked at Cheng Zhou's clothes up and down, and Cheng Zhou also cooperated with him and turned around to let him see the clothes. They were all very ordinary styles, but the details of the tailoring were still a little different from the clothes of this era. , There is an indescribable sense of luxury.

"Yes, the cutting of this style is not complicated, and it's quite simple to make." The old master stood up and led Cheng Zhou to the counter at the back. "What color fabric do you want to choose?"

"This navy blue one, and black one." Cheng Zhou carefully touched the fabrics one by one, and couldn't help but want to choose other colors to make a few more, but in order to be low-key and inconspicuous, he could only make these two for the time being. pieces.

"Okay, follow me here." The old master wrote him a small note, only charged a deposit of one yuan, and then took a measuring tape to measure the size of the boat.

Cheng Zhou stood where he was, stretched out his arms for him to measure, and asked curiously, "Master, how long will it take for the clothes to be ready?"

"I can pick it up at noon the day after tomorrow. Remember to bring the voucher to pick it up." The master carefully measured it, put away the tape measure and recorded the size in a small book.

"Hey, okay, I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow." Cheng Zhou frowned, happily put away the receipt and left the tailor shop, looked at the sky outside, and hurried back to the small yard.
