He will teach them how to raise pigs tomorrow, but Chen Zhou is still very free today.
There was nothing else to do at home, so I took Cao Shan and the Qiao sisters to go out for a walk together.
"Husband, what do you want to give us?"
Qiao Shuang walked in front and asked happily.
Chen Zhou said: "You can buy whatever you like later. I haven't given you any gifts yet."
Qiao Ying said very gently and considerately: "We don't need gifts. My husband is so kind to us, which is the best gift."
It’s better to be a woman in ancient times!
Chen Zhou sighed in his heart.
However, Chen Zhou was going to give them gifts, and of course they were happy.
After walking outside for a while, they found that there was nothing they wanted to buy. There was no shortage of anything at home, including a lot of jewelry and rouge. They didn't know what to buy for a while.
Cao Shan suggested: "How about we buy some cloth and go back and sew clothes for my husband?"
"OK!"
Qiao Ying first agreed: "When I was in Lujiang, I learned women's red for a long time, and I can sew for my husband with my own hands."
Cao Shan smiled and said: "I have learned it too, then let's work together."
Qiao Shuang pouted and said sheepishly: "I used to just play for fun and not take my studies seriously, but I can help Sister Shan'er cut cloth, so I'm still useful."
Before the cloth was even bought home, they had already divided the work.
"You don't have to just think about me, you can also think about yourself."
Seeing them like this, Chen Zhou felt warm in his heart.
Cao Shan said: "We don't have anything missing, but my husband's clothes come and go like this. He went to battle with the army and got a lot of damage."
Chen Zhou said: "Then go buy some cloth, but you can't lack anything."
"Always listen to your husband!"
Qiao Ying said softly.
They came to the market.
As Cao Cao moved his capital to Xu County, the city became lively, and Yingchuan County was also pacified. It was one of the few peaceful scenes in troubled times.
Merchants can make money in Xudu.
People can live peacefully in Xudu.
The market was bustling with activity, and vendors and pawns could be seen everywhere. In addition to the shops on both sides of the street, there were also many stalls, all of which showed that Xudu was different from other places.
In fact, as some ministers, noble families, etc. followed the emperor and moved to Xudu, the market here gradually grew.
After all, those aristocratic families are not short of money, they are all extremely rich, and their consumption levels have risen like this.
"Husband, this is the Mi family, a newly opened store in Xudu."
Qiao Shuang came outside a shop and said softly: "Their shop is very big. It has everything and sells everything. I heard that the Mi family is a very wealthy man and they took refuge with the lord not long ago."
Chen Zhou looked up and saw that it was really the Mi family business.
After the Battle of Xuzhou, Mi Zhu brought his family to Xudu to show his obedience to Cao Cao and to quickly open the market in Yingchuan.
The trade name has been established for some time.
Chen Zhou also didn't expect that the Mi family was so fast. He made up his mind to hug Cao Cao's thigh, kicked Liu Da'er away completely, and said: "Go in and have a look."
They arrived at the shop together.
The waiters here can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people with their extraordinary conversation and well-dressed clothes. They follow them around and entertain them enthusiastically.
Chen Zhou was here and looked around briefly.
Indeed there is.
From books to drinks and food.
From Chen Zhou's perspective, this is a department store.
But in a department store, the style seems to be much lower. There is everything here, and it is easier to fall out of style. However, in a place like ancient times, there was nothing that was out of style.
As long as there is turnover and people come to buy things, it is enough.
Chen Zhou led them to buy a lot of makeup and jewelry, and then they went to look at fabrics together.
Ancient cloth was actually very simple.
The high-end ones are silk, and the low-end ones are linen.
Cloth made of flax and woven into silk.
Silk is more expensive, but comfortable, and linen is cheaper, but rougher.
Linen cloth was ordinary and could not reflect Chen Zhou's identity. As for cotton cloth, it was not available in the Three Kingdoms.
People here still don’t know how to use cotton.
Of course, what Cao Shan and the others chose for Chen Zhou were all silk.
Except for white silk, the quality of other dyed silks is average. The colors are dyed and are all natural plant colors, but the colors are dull and far less bright than those in modern times.
Including the clothes Chen Zhou is wearing now, the colors are ordinary, and the dyeing technology during the Three Kingdoms period was not very advanced.
In fact, we can’t blame the technology, we can only blame the times. Better dyes have not yet appeared, and they need to be explored slowly or discovered by accident.
"Husband, what do you think of these colors?"
Qiao Shuang picked up a piece of light blue cloth.
This light blue is really light.
So light that you can see white.
The dyeing is also uneven, as if the color has not fully soaked into the fabric.
Maybe it's because the dye is relatively light.
Other red ones, although not bright, may be unevenly dyed and can be found in Mijia stores. These fabrics should be the best from the Three Kingdoms era.
"So-so, pretty ordinary."
Chen Zhou glanced at it and said instinctively.
"generally?"
"ordinary?"
However, before Qiao Shuang could respond, a seemingly offended voice came from behind them.
They looked back at the same time.
I saw a woman in her early twenties, about the same age as Chen Zhou, walking over with two maids.
This woman's bun is still normal.
Unlike Cao Shan, she had a hairstyle exclusive to women.
In this era, it is a bit against the rules to be a woman in your early twenties.
But the woman doesn’t look bad in appearance and is very good-looking, but she still can’t get married?
Usually this happens only when the woman doesn't want to get married.
"Are you from the Mi family?"
Chen Zhou looked at this woman who had the temperament of a royal sister for a while.
If you weren't from the Mi family, you wouldn't be offended by Chen Zhou's words.
As soon as Chen Zhou heard her words, he could make an accurate judgment, thinking that she was Mrs. Mi, right?
This possibility still exists.
"That's right!"
The woman strode over and asked: "Excuse me, sir, how do you think it is ordinary? The fabrics of my Mi family, whether silk or ordinary linen, are of the highest quality among the big men."
She wanted to know why Chen Zhou said this.
"I did not mean."
Chen Zhou explained: "I am not targeting your Mi family, but I feel that the silk dyeing of the entire Han Dynasty is very average and ordinary."
After hearing Chen Zhou's somewhat arrogant words, the woman didn't know how to comment.
"Okay, we all want these."
Chen Zhou was not interested and had too many explanations with the Mi family.
Bought the things and left.
