Chapter 47: Buying cloth and cutting clothes

　　"How is it, can you see?" Su Guan had some doubts on her face, and didn't notice that his ears had quietly turned red.
　　Maybe it was because they were close, and her breath sprayed, Jiang Yu couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
　　He suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he got better quickly, then the time he stayed here would be shorter. Although this kind of life was dull, he lived a very comfortable life.
　　So he closed his eyes again and shook his head:
　　"No, I still can't see much!"
　　He admitted that he was a little selfish, but some moments, once seen in the eyes, were engraved in the heart.
　　Su Guan's small head, with a big question mark, thought it shouldn't be, what the second brother said couldn't be wrong, why can't I see it? However, she soon figured it out, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't really go blind, he will get better sooner or later.
　　"Okay, then let's persist!"
　　Continue to wash his eyes, the movement is gentle, and after he washes himself, Su Guan brings him breakfast.
　　In the morning, there are two white flour buns and a bowl of sweet porridge, which can't be lighter.
　　There is no way, there is not much money on hand, only two taels of silver, and after this batch of soap is sold, life can be improved.
　　Try to make the family eat white rice every day without feeling sorry.
　　"It must be boring to eat these every day, right? Wait until I sell this batch of soap, and I'll buy you a chicken to stew."
　　He was a man of wealth and status, and he lived in luxury every day. Suddenly he had to live in poverty. It should be no different from being exiled, right?
　　Eating a steamed bun without cornmeal was considered good. This was rural life.

　　"As long as I can fill my stomach, Jiang has no desires!"
　　It's good enough to save his life. He can't cause trouble to others. As a man, there is nothing to be picky about. As long as he is full, it's fine.
　　Su Guan nodded silently, tied her hair simply, and continued to start today's task of peeling corn.
　　After another two days, Jiang Yu's eyes were still blurry, so she continued to wash his eyes with warm water in the morning and evening.
　　Medicinal herbs were added to the water, and it was not ordinary warm water that was good for the eyes.
　　The potatoes and sweet potatoes have been dug, and the three brothers are free. The agreed time to deliver soap has also arrived.
        The weather turned cold in an instant. It rained last night, and the sun was hidden behind the heavy clouds.
　　Su Chen accompanied Su Guan to the county town. He put on more clothes in the morning. Sitting on the ox cart, the wind was whistling, and his hands were still a little cold.
　　The soap in the proprietress's shop had been sold out long ago, and it had been out of stock. But it takes time to make it, so she could only wait slowly.
　　This time, there were 180 soaps, including 120 goat milk soap, 30 flower soap, and 30 goat milk soap with almond oil.
　　This soap became popular in the whole county in an instant, and every household was told about it. People who didn't have this soap came to order it, but it was out of stock, and the boss lady collected a lot of deposits.
　　After finally waiting for the God of Wealth, the boss lady became more and more enthusiastic.
　　Flower soap didn't add goat milk, and it only sold for 18 wen on the market, and she took 14 wen. The goat milk soap and almond oil goat milk soap were still the same price as before.
　　120 yuan per piece, 12 wen per piece, a total of 1,440 wen. Flower soap was 30 yuan, 14 wen per piece, a total of 420 wen. Almond oil goat milk soap was 30 yuan, 16 wen per piece, a total of 480 wen.
　　For the three soaps combined, the boss lady had to pay Su Wan 23 taels of silver and 40 cents.
　　She kept two flower soaps for herself. This soap was also water red, but it had a strong sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, and was best used for washing clothes.
　　Su Guan told her that there might be fewer flower soaps in the future, because there were no flowers in this season, and it was not easy to make.
　　But there would be special hair soaps for hair washing at the meeting, so she asked her to prepare and promote them first.
　　She gave Su Guan an extra 40 coins as a dividend of the deposit. This time, her purse was full, and Su Guan still had a lot of things to buy.
　　The first thing was to go straight to the cloth shop. Su Chen didn't know what she was going to do, so he followed silently.
　　Only when they arrived at the door of the cloth shop did they know what she was going to do.
　　"Guan Guan, do you want to buy cloth for clothes?"
　　Su Guan nodded and pulled her third brother into the cloth shop, but she didn't choose the pattern she wore, but blue-gray cloth.
　　She thought about her eldest brother's hard work in studying, and now things have changed. His school uniform in the academy has been washed white and very thin. In the original book, because his family was poor, he didn't have extra money to make clothes. In winter, his hands and feet were often frozen and numb, and he was laughed at by his classmates.
        So, this time with some spare money, she thought of making two new clothes for her eldest brother.
　　"Guanguan, you are so young, why do you like such a color?" Su Chen laughed beside him. He didn't know who Su Guan was going to make clothes for.
　　"Third brother, I'm not wearing it myself. This cloth is for my eldest brother. It's cold today, and he doesn't have a decent piece of clothing in the academy. Next year's spring exam is very important to him. I don't want him to be distracted. If he gets a cold, it will delay things."
　　Su Chen paused when he heard this. She had just gotten paid, and seeing her so happy going straight to the cloth shop, he thought she wanted to cut cloth and sew clothes to reward herself. Unexpectedly, she came here because she was thinking about her eldest brother who didn't have a decent piece of clothing in the academy.
　　"My eldest brother is the most thrifty. If I tell him directly, he will definitely not want it. It's better to make it and send it to him directly. It's also my way of thinking."
　　Su Guan smiled sweetly at Su Chen. Su Chen felt a little depressed, but he didn't say much after all.
　　He knew that there were several dandies in his eldest brother's academy who looked down on others and always opposed his eldest brother. They often laughed at him for not having a decent piece of clothing.
　　The gray-blue cloth had to be cut into eight and a half feet to make one suit according to his size. The long gowns worn in the academy would cost more fabric.
　　Two suits would have to be seventeen feet long, and two sets of quilted jackets and underpants had to be made for the inner garments. The cheapest white linen would be enough.
       One foot of blue-gray cloth costs fifteen coins, and one foot of white linen cloth costs ten coins. I cut fourteen feet in total, which is enough for making a short jacket.
　　When I paid, I paid three taels of silver, sixty-seven coins.
　　The most common cloth costs more than three taels for two sets of clothes, and I have to take it to the tailor shop for processing. I also have to buy shoes, one pair for each of my brothers.
　　I paid the silver readily and took the cloth to the tailor shop. The students of the academy all had their clothes made in this shop. It was close to the academy, and the owner of the tailor shop had the sizes of the students in the academy. I just told him my name and saved myself the trouble of measuring.
　　But the processing fee was one tael of silver, and the cotton for quilting had to be charged separately. Cotton cost thirty coins per catty, and two sets of cotton linings would cost at least three catties of cotton, which was considered thin.
　　The tailor shop had ready-made shoes for sale, long-tube cotton shoes, and ordinary cotton shoes, which cost twenty-five coins a pair, and long-tube ones cost forty coins.
