After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

After a good night's sleep, Qin Yao was full of energy. She got out of bed, packed her clothes, and asked Liu Fei to go out together to find shopkeeper Fang who was selling wood.

Shopkeeper Fang is still very happy when there is business, but the price of wood has increased by a full 10%.

"No way, you want less now. This is already the lowest price. It's because your family came to pull the wood by themselves that our boss agreed to give you this price. If you don't believe me, ask around the city and it will never be so cheap again. of."

Shopkeeper Fang looked sincere, Qin Yao knew it well and said without any nonsense, "Then sign the order."

"Still the old rules?" Shopkeeper Fang asked with a smile.

Qin Yao nodded and placed a 30% deposit. After the deposit is exceeded, the goods will be settled immediately.

The contract was written quickly because the content was simple. It was just a settlement certificate for the purchase and sale, which was equivalent to the bill of lading in later generations and was used to pick up the goods.

The warehouse was outside the city, so Qin Yao still wanted to take a look in person. Shopkeeper Fang agreed and arranged for a clerk who was about to go to the warehouse to take her there.

A group of people took an ox cart to the warehouse outside the city. Qin Yao and Liu Fei checked the quality of the wood. After meeting the requirements, it was already evening when they returned to the city.

Liu Bai has arranged for the coachmen to have meals in the lobby of the restaurant. Anyone who comes out to pull goods will have a standard meal. Each person has 30 cash per day, as long as they don't spend more than they need.

While driving the truck, you also have to stay up all night on duty, unload the cargo, and be wary of bandits. Only with oil and water can you have the strength and energy to complete such a heavy workload.

In addition, this money will not be distributed to everyone, so the coachmen will not save money for their employers. They will just fill up the amount and eat happily.

Originally, the family was worried that they would lose weight after driving long distances. Unexpectedly, after three months at the stationery factory, not only did they not lose weight, they also gained weight.

Stewards like Liu Bai and Liu Fei also have corresponding food and accommodation standards. These are clearly written and posted on the pillars outside the stables in the factory. Everyone can intuitively and clearly know what level they are on. The salary also gives me the motivation to work hard and strive for promotion.

But Qin Yao, the boss, is not among the standards because she pays for the food herself!

There is no curfew in the city, the lights are on, and the streets are busiest after dinner.

Tomorrow will be loading materials and returning. Now that everything has been done, it is time to have some free time. Qin Yao asked Liu Fei excitedly: "Are you going out for a walk?"

Liu Fei's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay!"

Qin Yao signaled him to ask Liu Bai if he was going. Liu Fei hurried to the backyard guest room to find Liu Bai. The two brothers excitedly came to the lobby to meet Qin Yao, and the three of them went out to visit the night market together.

Liu Bai and Liu Fei were more familiar with Fucheng. Having stayed here many times, Liu Fei already knew which cloth shop in the city had affordable prices and which shop always carried some rare gadgets from all over the world.

With him leading the way, the three of them arrived at Cloth Village, intending to buy some materials to buy new clothes for their family.

The weather is getting colder and winter is about to begin. The store has taken out all the leather materials accumulated last year. There are rabbit skins, sheepskins, deer skins, deer skins, all kinds of goods, and the goods are complete.

There are also many ready-made leather jackets, leather boots, cotton trousers and cotton-padded clothes, and exquisite girls' skirts made of snow-white rabbit skin piping.

The folk customs in Fucheng are more open than in the county town, and most of the customers in the store are female. Men like Liu Bai and Liu Fei appear out of place among them.

The two of them were not comfortable. One of them chose half a piece of discounted floral cotton cloth and then exited the door to wait. Only Qin Yao was left in the store wondering whether to save some money to buy leather and take it home to make, or just buy it directly. Ready-made clothes are a little easier.

Look at the pink jacket and skirt suit with white rabbit fur. It's really beautiful. If you compare it, although the size is a bit larger, if you go back and tighten the cuffs and skirt waist, you can still wear it for two more years.

"Bought it!" Qin Yao felt that Qiu couldn't reproduce this cute little pink dress even if she bought the materials herself, so she just bought it ready-made.

Qin Yao happily called the busy female clerk and said she wanted this set.

The female shop assistant was startled, then apologized and explained with a smile: "Madam, this is a sample, not for sale. If you like this skirt, you can customize it, and you can get it in half a month."

custom made?

Another half month?

Qin Yao couldn't wait any longer and said decisively: "I'll add more money."

"This" the clerk hesitated, and Qin Yao suddenly sighed, "My daughter's birthday is tomorrow. I think she will be very happy when she sees this dress."

"My daughter has been weak since she was a child," Qin Yao sighed softly, "It's been cold these days, and the doctor said her condition has worsened, I'm afraid."

He turned his back and raised his hands to rub his eyes, turned back, and gave a strong yet miserable smile.

The female clerk's heart tightened, she should really die!

"Wait a moment, ma'am. I'll wrap up the skirt for you right now. You can go to the front to check out." The female clerk's tone was much gentler, her eyes were full of sympathy, what a loving and pitiful mother to her daughter.

When he came to the counter, he probably heard what the female clerk said. The female shopkeeper nodded encouragingly to Qin Yao and handed her the dress wrapped in oilcloth.

"How much?" Qin Yao's loving mother asked with a smile.

Shopkeeper: "The original price is twenty taels of silver for you. This dress uses a whole piece of rabbit skin as a back pad. It will make you warm. Your daughter will definitely get better."

Qin Yao kept a smile on her face and took a breath of cold air in her heart, so expensive!

But the speed of paying for it is still very refreshing, and I can wear it for one more year next year, so I think it’s not bad.

After paying the money, picking up the clothes, and walking out the door, the motherly smile on her face had no time to put away, which startled the two Liu Bai brothers. They thought she was being lowered, and suddenly she was so kind and kind, which made people uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Qin Yao soon returned to the familiar Qin Yao, and the two brothers secretly patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the daughter's clothes are available, I can go to another affordable cloth store to buy two pieces for the others, and then I can make them myself.

However, in order not to favor one against the other, Qin Yao bought a pair of finished leather boots for each of Dalang's three boys. The size was also a bit inappropriate, but the finished product was only in this size, so he had to take it home and modify it himself.

In addition, I bought a set of winter clothes for Ngawang, complete with hats, shoes, socks and clothes from head to toe.

Because it is ready-made clothing, there is always a deviation in the size. Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are now busy with their own clothes and shoes, so Qin Yao plans to go back and let Awang learn to make changes on his own.

Liu Bai saw that Qin Yao's arms were full of things, but none of them were for Liu Ji, so he kindly reminded:

"Brother and sister, won't you prepare a suit for the third child?"

"Him?" Qin Yao shook her head, "I can still wear last year's ones." She bought a few more bags of pastries.

Liu Bai: "." He is too talkative.

The three of them returned home with a full load, went back to their respective houses, and fell asleep until dawn.

The group had breakfast in a restaurant, prepared dry food for the road, led the carriage out of the city, loaded the wood, and set off on their way back at noon. (End of chapter)
