Return to 1983 and be a detective

There is indeed a tailor in Xujia Village, and she is a very beautiful widow.

It is said that this widow's style is quite questionable and she is a charlatan, but her craftsmanship is pretty good and people in the village are looking for her to make clothes.

Hearing that Xu Shan was looking for a tailor, Xu Qing asked alertly: "Why are you looking for a tailor? What kind of clothes do you want to make?"

Xu Shan was a little embarrassed and hesitated.

Xu Qing even thought that Xu Shan had bad ideas, and quickly said: "Tell me what clothes you want to wear, and I will make them too."

Xu Shan was even more embarrassed now.

After struggling for a while, he said, "I plan to make a pair of close-fitting four-legged shorts."

Xu Qing immediately reprimanded: "How can such a personal thing be left to outsiders? What do you want outsiders to think?"

Xu Shanxin said that I would leave it to my sister to do it, so I feel embarrassed. What do outsiders think? Do they have anything to do with me?

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but Xu Shan finally gave up and said, "I can leave it to you, but the shorts I want to make are a bit special, they have to be sandwiched."

After hearing this, Xu Qing didn't question it and didn't find it strange at all: "We can't let tailors do this. This kind of thing must only be done by family members. In the past, when you went out to do business, your sister-in-law would do it for you. . I also learned from my sister-in-law. Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the thing you wear underneath looks good or ugly."

"It doesn't matter, you can do your best, but I have a request. The mezzanine must be larger..."

With a clear look on his face, Xu Qing took the cloth and turned around and entered the inner room. There was a sound of a sewing machine being stepped on in the room.

Xu Shan was really surprised. There was a sewing machine in this poor house where only the walls were left.My predecessor had almost sold everything in this family, but he didn’t even sell the sewing machine?

Just as he was wondering, the younger sister Xu Xiu came back carrying a basket of pigweed.

Seeing Xu Shan, Xu Xiu was so happy that she threw herself into Xu Shan's arms regardless of the mud on her body.

In later generations, Xu Shan had never been so close to a child. It wasn't that he didn't like children, but that the child disliked him as a fat homebody.

Xu Xiu's hug made him a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know where to put his hands. Fortunately, Xu Xiu was attracted to the toffee, but she didn't dare to get the toffee.

Xu Shan took a candy, peeled it for Xu Xiu, and fed it into her mouth.

Xu Xiu was so sweet that she thanked her brother happily, and then went to feed the pigs with pigweed on her back.

On this side, Xu Qing quickly finished a pair of four-legged shorts and brought them to Xu Shan for inspection.

Xu Shan took the four-legged shorts and looked at them repeatedly. He found that the workmanship was fine and the appearance was very beautiful. He touched the interlayer and found that the interlayer covered the entire buttocks. At the opening, an extra layer of cloth was specially added to prevent the The money will slip out, and a few small buttons are added at the same time. The double-layer protection effect shows the ingenuity of the design.

Xu Shan couldn't help but admire: "Did you come up with this?"

"Of course. My sister-in-law praises me for my skill."

Xu Qing said quite proudly.

"Not bad, not bad. Not only do you have good hands, but you also have a clever mind. If you could become a fashion designer, you would probably be able to attend Milan Fashion Week or something. It's decided, you will be a future star in the fashion industry."

Xu Qing didn't know what Milan Fashion Week her brother was talking about, nor what "future star in the fashion industry" meant. However, this was the first time in her life that she was praised by her brother. She felt her ears warm and hid in embarrassment. Went into the inner room.

After a while, she came out again and said to Xu Shan in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "Go and try it."

Xu Shan quickly entered the inner room, where he stuffed all the money in his pocket into the middle of the four-legged shorts, smoothed them repeatedly, and then put them on. In fact, these four-legged shorts were not like those of later generations. The underwear is just average, there is no saying whether it fits or not, the material is enough and the private parts are covered.

The blue fabric Xu Shan specially selected could not be seen at all after stuffing the big blue knot inside. He was quite satisfied. When he came out after putting on his outer trousers, he saw that Xu Xiu had already taken the meat to cook.

Although the fresh early rice is not delicious, the fragrance is really enough. There is a big bowl of pickled pork with dried plums and vegetables. Xu Shan found a piece of fat meat from it after a lot of effort. He knew that the elder sister was really economical. Reluctant to eat meat.

But the meat of this era is really delicious.Xu Shan took a big mouthful of rice and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so economical. Your brother and I can make money."

Xu Qing did not retort, but put his chopsticks on the table and said in an adult tone: "Longshui people say that drizzle wets clothes and tofu wine ruins everything, and the days are saved. Wait until you make money. For money, I have to redeem my sister-in-law’s dowry and then bring her back..."

Xu Shan's nose felt sour. This little girl is so young yet so sensible.

He nodded vigorously: "I know, believe me, I will make enough money soon. Let you all live a good life."

After dinner, Xu Shan leaned against the threshold and smoked.

The sun was setting in the west, cicadas were chirping in the evening, and midges were flying not far away, forming a black cloud.

A figure passed through the dark clouds and came to Xu Shan. When Xu Shan saw it, he saw that it was Agui who had sold him an ancient brick before.

This Agui came over excitedly and placed a snakeskin bag in front of Xu Shan.

Xu Shan was a little puzzled: "What is this?"

Agui was mysterious: "It's a good thing, do you want to see it?"

Thinking that this kid could get ancient bricks before, he might also be able to get some antiques or something.

Then Xu Shan's curiosity was also aroused: "Don't be so secretive, open it and take a look."

Agui looked around, as if he was afraid of others peeking, and then opened the bag. It turned out that the bag still contained a few bricks.

Xu Shan was disappointed: "That's it?"

"There are still tiles underneath. What do you think? Do you want to take them away?"

Xu Shan was slightly dissatisfied. Agui had clearly identified himself as the enemy. He had to sell these bricks to himself, right?

"Agui, when I collected the bricks before, they were..." Xu Shan wanted to explain, but his eyes fell on an inkstone. This was neither a brick nor a tile, but a real inkstone. This inkstone should be An authentic Duan inkstone made of chrysanthemum stone. In this condition, it is estimated to be worth a lot of money.

Before Xu Shan could finish speaking, Agui closed the bag in frustration: "You don't have to say it anymore, I've seen it all. In fact, you took my bricks out of pity for me, otherwise you wouldn't have taken all the bricks you received." Throw it into the pool. But I am really in trouble and need money, so I am shamelessly begging you, Shanzi, don’t get me wrong, I definitely didn’t deceive you as someone who was taken advantage of.”
