"How's it going? Can you see it?" Su Wan had some doubts on his face, but he didn't realize that his ears were quietly turning red.
Xu Shi was so close that his breath sprayed across his face, and Jiang Yu couldn't help but swallow.
He suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he recovered quickly, the time he would stay here would be short. Although such a 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 it very well!"
He admitted that he was a little selfish, but there were some moments that were engraved in his heart once he saw them.
Su Wan's little head was filled with big question marks, and she thought that shouldn't be the case. What the second brother said is correct, why can't she still see it?
However, she soon figured out that it didn't matter, as long as she didn't really go blind, she would get better sooner or later.
"Okay, then let's keep at it!"
Continue to wash his eyes gently, and after he washes himself, Su Wan brings him breakfast.
In the morning, there were just two white flour steamed buns and a bowl of sweet porridge, which couldn't be more bland.
I have no choice, I don’t have much money left, I only have two taels of silver, and I can improve my life after selling this batch of soap.
Strive to let the whole family eat white rice every day without feeling distressed.
"It must be boring to eat these every day, right? Wait for me to sell this batch of soap, and I will buy you a chicken to stew."
He is a noble man, and he is well-dressed and well-fed every day. If he suddenly leads such a poor life, it should be no different from being exiled, right?
A meal of steamed buns without cornmeal is considered good. This is rural life.
"As long as you can eat to satisfy your hunger, you will be fine. Jiang has no cravings!"
It would be good if he can save his life. He can't cause trouble to others. He is a man and there is nothing to be picky about. As long as he has enough to eat.
Su Wan nodded silently, simply tied up his hair, and continued today's task of shucking corn.
Two days later, Jiang Yu's eyes were still blurry, so she continued to clean his eyes with warm water morning and night.
There are medicinal materials added to the water, which is good for the eyes. It is not ordinary warm water.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes have been dug, the three brothers are already free, and the agreed time for delivering soap has arrived.
The weather turned cold in an instant. It rained last night and the sun was hidden behind thick clouds.
Su Chen accompanied Su Wan to the county seat. He even put on extra clothes in the morning and sat on the bullock cart with the wind roaring, but his hands were still a little cold.
The soap in the shop owner's shop has long been sold out and has always been out of stock. However, it takes time to make, so she can only wait slowly.
This time there are 180 pieces of soap, including 120 pieces of goat milk soap, 30 pieces of floral soap, and 30 pieces of almond oil goat milk soap.
This soap became popular throughout the county in an instant, and word spread to every household. People who did not have this soap came to place an order, but there was no stock, and the landlady took a lot of deposits.
After finally waiting for the God of Wealth, the landlady became more and more enthusiastic.
The floral soap did not add goat milk and only sold for 18 cents on the market. She ate 14 cents. Goat milk soap and almond oil goat milk soap were still the same price as before.
One hundred and twenty twelve cents a piece, a total of one thousand four hundred and forty cents.
Thirty pieces of floral soap, fourteen cents each, a total of four hundred and twenty cents.
Thirty pieces of almond oil and goat's milk soap, sixteen coins each, a total of four hundred and eighty coins.
For the three types of soaps, the landlady had to pay Su Wan twenty-three taels and forty coins.
She kept two pieces of flower-scented soap for herself. This soap is also water-red, but has a strong scent of osmanthus. It is best for washing clothes.
Su Wan told her that there may be less floral soap in the future because there are no flowers this season and it is not easy to make.
But there was a hair soap specifically for hair at the meeting, so she was asked to prepare and promote it first.
She paid Su Wan an extra forty yuan, which was considered as dividends from the deposit. This time, her purse was bulging, and Su Wan still had a lot of things to buy.
The first thing she did was to go straight to Buzhuang. Su Chen didn't know what she was going to do, so he followed behind silently.
It was only when she arrived at the gate of Buzhuang that she knew what she was going to do.
"Wan Wan, do you want to buy cloth for tailoring?"
Su Wan nodded and took the third brother into the cloth shop, but what she chose was not the color she was wearing, but blue-gray cloth.
She thought about her eldest brother's hard work in studying, but things have changed now. His clothes in the academy have been washed white and are still very thin. In the original book, because his family was cold, he had no extra money to make clothes, and his hands and feet often got cold in winter. He was numb and was laughed at by his classmates.
Therefore, when she had spare money this time, she immediately thought of making two new clothes for her eldest brother.
"Wan Wan, you are so young, why do you like such colors?" Su Chen smiled beside him. He didn't know who Su Wan was going to make clothes for.
"Third brother, I'm not wearing it myself. This cloth was chosen for my eldest brother. It's cold today and he doesn't have any decent clothes in the academy. Next spring is very important to him. I don't want him to be distracted. If the cold comes out, wouldn't it delay things again?"
When Su Chen heard this, his expression paused. He had just made some money. Seeing her going straight to the cloth shop so happily, he thought she wanted to reward herself with sewing, but she didn't expect that she was actually worried about her eldest brother not being decent in the academy. I just came with the clothes I wore.
"My eldest brother is the most frugal. If I tell him directly, he will definitely refuse to take it. I might as well just prepare it and send it to him. It can be considered as a piece of my heart."
Su Wan smiled sweetly at Su Chen. Su Chen felt a little depressed, but in the end he didn't say much.
He knew that there were several dandy boys in his eldest brother's academy who looked down upon others and were always at odds with his eldest brother. They often laughed at him for not even having decent clothes.
We need to make two sets of gray-blue cloth. According to the eldest brother's stature, we have to cut him eight and a half feet to make one set. The long coat worn in the academy requires more fabric.
The two suits need seventeen feet, and they also need to be made of quilted jackets and underpants to wear inside. The cheapest white linen will do.
One foot of blue-gray cloth is fifteen cents, and one foot of white linen is ten cents. A total of fourteen feet is drawn, which is enough to make a short coat.
When I paid, I paid a total of three taels of silver and sixty-seven yuan.
The most common fabrics cost more than three taels for two clothes, and they had to be taken to a tailor shop for processing. They also had to buy shoes, and each of the brothers at home had a pair.
He paid the money quickly and took the cloth to the tailor shop. All the students in the academy had their clothes made in this shop. It was close to the academy. The owner of the tailor shop had the sizes of the existing students in the academy. Just give him the name. , even the measurement is omitted.
But the processing fee is one tael of silver, and the quilted cotton has to be calculated separately. The cotton is thirty yuan per catty, and the two cotton linings need at least three catties of cotton, which is considered thin.
There are ready-made shoes for sale in the tailor shop, including long cotton shoes and ordinary cotton shoes. A pair costs twenty-five yuan, and the long ones cost forty yuan.
