However, seeing the woman's amiable appearance, Wuya also pretended to be helpless and timidly said: "My parents are already old, my brothers are busy in the fields, my two sister-in-law are pregnant, their stomachs have become heavier and heavier. It's inconvenient for me to go out and sell these small things, so I can only come."

"This …" The woman sighed, "But we can't let a young maiden like you, who has yet to leave the pavilion, show your face in public like this."

Thinking about it, Wu Ya sighed and said helplessly, "Eldest sister-in-law, at home …" "There aren't many people in our family. Although these few days are the first days we have to gather food in the fields, it's really hard for us to open a pot in our family." With that, Wu Ya's voice was slightly choked, and he slightly trembled. "In a country bumpkin's house, you don't even have enough to eat. How can you care about face?"

Wuya laughed in response and took out the two extremely ugly wicker baskets. He took out the leaves of the dead tree and revealed the full grains of the yam fruit and the dark wooden ears. "It's a bit embarrassing. Since I don't have anything extra at home, I can only set up this stall."

She then looked curiously at the items on the stall of the woman and said with surprise, "Sister-in-law has made baby clothes, they are so meticulous."

It wasn't that Wuya was boasting about his kindness, but that the things made by the woman were truly excellent and meticulous. If one took a closer look, one would be able to tell that although the fabric used for those little things wasn't the best, they were all smooth and smooth material. Even that small shoe had a layer of moonlight white material inside.

"Eldest Sister-in-Law did really well. She didn't even have a thread to pull her foot into. I'm afraid most women don't even have the heart to make clothes for themselves."

The woman smiled lightly, her eyes filled with gentleness. "Children with tender skin are the ones who cannot be hurt the most. Naturally, we must do better."

"Eldest Sis is such a meticulous person. I think she can sell these things well." Wuya laughed.

"Hopefully, I only have this little bit of craftsmanship. However, most families only make the clothes for their children. Very few people buy them. I don't know if anyone would care about my craftsmanship." The woman smiled, her eyes filled with worry.

"Sis, you don't have to worry. We country people don't want to part with the money to buy this good stuff, but there are a lot of families in our town that care about our children. Of course, there are those who can see what Sis has to offer." Wu Ya placed the small shoe back on the woman's stall and said in a comforting manner.

"Girl, you really know how to talk. It's as if your mouth has been smeared with honey." The woman teased with a smile, "Girl, what's your name? Which village are you living in …"

As they spoke, Wu Ya and the woman exchanged their names, and then found out that the woman's surname was Wei, and that she lived in the nearest Wei household in town, Wei Jia Village. Because the family harvest was not good in the past two years, and before Wei Jia Sister-in-Law's marriage, she had been taught needlework by the town's most skillful wife, so now she also wanted to make some small things to subsidize the household.

Morning had arrived, and the market was bustling with activity. Barefoot men, women, and women were coming and going. Very soon, someone had found this place. As most of the people who set up stalls in this alley were women, many of the people that would be found would also be stewards and wives, as well as ordinary women.

The other daughter-in-law heard her words and came over as well. She held a piece in her hand and said, "This stitch is indeed meticulous and meticulous, and its appearance is also excellent. It would be the best for little gongzi to wear it, but this piece of material is a bit too ordinary. I'm afraid Second Madam doesn't like it."

"That's true, little gongzi is the second lady's flesh and blood, how could he wear such ordinary fine cloth? Such a pity for his skills, if he used fine silk and embroidered some lucky luck patterns, it would be the best." The daughter-in-law looked left and right before sighing and putting down the clothes in her hands.

Wei Jia Sister-in-Law's originally bright eyes darkened as the two sighed. Initially, before she left, he thought that normal people would not be willing to spend money to buy the child's clothes, but how could rich families like their normal clothes.

Seeing this, Wu Ya stopped the two wives with a smile: "Sister-in-law, these silk embroidered clothes are rich and beautiful, but they are not suitable for me to wear. Although these silk embroidered clothes are good for my family's skin, they can easily cut me apart.

"Speaking of which, it's not that good for a child to be wearing embroidery. The Third Miss in the First Lady's room had her hands and feet cut off by the embroidery on her clothes a few years ago, and I heard that there was a patch of scarlet on the back of her hand. The poor Third Miss' wife who took care of you was immediately beaten out of the room by the First Lady."

"That makes sense. In the past few days, Second Madam has been extremely dissatisfied with the clothes that the servant made for Young Master. She said that they were not meticulously made, and if we were to buy these, I'm afraid Second Madam would like it."

The daughter-in-law who spoke was extremely quick-witted. She rolled her eyes and thought of the main point. The other daughter-in-law wasn't stupid. They both looked at each other and discussed in private. They actually gathered money together and selected a set of identical baby clothes and hats from head to toe.

The price of the small hat and pants was less, only twenty pieces. The price of the small clothes and pants were more, seventy pieces each, the price of the small shoes was more, but the cost of hard work was more, it was forty pieces, a total of two hundred yuan.

Wei Jia Sister-in-Law was a practical person. Originally, she had seen the hopeless business end up like this, and the two of them wanted to buy so much at once. She was so happy that she saved twenty more coins, one hundred and eighty more coins.

This era's fabric was different from Wu Ya's previous life, it took a lot of time and effort to grow and weave. Therefore, even the worst kind of nettle would cost seven to eight cents a foot, not to mention this kind of fine cloth that could be considered the best kind of cloth for ordinary people.

Not to mention the side, just the set of materials alone would cost at least a hundred and thirty to forty pieces of gold. Adding on the good needlework and the time spent, although Wuya knew a lot about the prices of this era, he also knew that the prices given by Wei Jia Sister-in-Law were extremely cheap.

He was used to seeing the market, not to mention the other side. Just by touching this material, he could tell how much the cooking skills were worth. He immediately knew that he had run into a rich family, so he happily gave the money to them.

Before leaving, the daughter-in-law also left a message for the eldest sister-in-law of the Wei family, basically saying that the Wei Jia Sister-in-Law's culinary skills were excellent.

The wife's words implied that they would produce the best fabrics in the future. The eldest sister-in-law of the Wei family would produce the best craftsmanship, saying that as long as it was done well, the silver was definitely not a cheap price. These words made the happy eldest sister-in-law to be even more at a loss of what to do.

In the past, she did not come to town often, and even if she did, she would only sell some rapeseed from her family. This time, her family really could not live well, so she took out the wedding gift and used it as a dowry to make these children's clothes using fine cloth that she could not bear to use.

The mother-in-law of the family had blamed herself for wasting the money. Although Madam Wei had said tough words at home, she had lost all her courage in this bazaar.

Now that he saw this, besides the materials he had spent, he could also earn around forty to fifty large coins. He was naturally overjoyed.
