Chapter 2111 Governor, Come and Farm with Me! (121)
"Rose red is usually worn by little girls in towns and counties. This is just right for the second sister. Do you want to wear the same color as a little girl like her?"
Zhou Lihua glanced at the skinny Erni, and finally bit down on it, making up her mind: "Then I will choose the two colors you mentioned."
Erni couldn't help showing a hint of joy.
In fact, she immediately fell in love with the rose-red horse, but the uncle liked it, so she didn't say anything.
Clothes in this era are mostly blue, light yellow, white, black, and red.
The most commonly used colors among the people are black, navy blue, cyan blue, snow cyan, plain white and light yellow.
Women's clothing mainly includes shirts, jackets, Xiapei, backs, and jackets and skirts.
The skirt is based on dense pleats, with a palace sash tied around the waist, hanging down to the ankle, somewhat similar to that of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, because people in the countryside have to work, most of them choose the form of clothes and trousers instead of skirts and so on.
Men's clothing is mostly gowns, with a large front, right lapel, wide sleeves, and the bottom is below the knee. For those who are more particular, auspicious patterns will be embroidered on the fabric, and most of the patterns contain auspicious meanings.
Similarly, men from rural families often wear simple clothes and pants instead of wide-sleeved robes when they go to the ground.
After everyone finished choosing, Su Qiao chose white and snow blue at random, and then hurriedly went to work on her own.

Because Su Qiao helped with the work for half a day, the harvest that should have been completed in four days was completed in two and a half days this year.
However, when the wheat is harvested, the ears of the wheat have to be threshed, and it has to be exposed to the sun for more than five days. To plant corn in the field, piles have to be burned and the ground has to be plowed.
At this time, there is no wheat threshing machine, just a wooden frame like a door and a window, and one side is placed on a square stool to fix it, and then the wheat is picked up and beaten vigorously.
There is a wooden plow, but most people do not have cattle, and everyone relies on their hands.
Su Qiao wanted to help, to see if she could research a simple wheat threshing machine, but it was too late.
And she has to keep busy with tooth powder.
Fortunately, on the morning of the third day, fifty toothbrushes and fifty bottles of tooth powder were rushed out.
During the period, the brown hair on the toothbrush was collected by the old lady in two nearby villages with copper coins. Although there were few cattle, some families had mules.
As for the tooth powder, after crushing it with a pestle, Su Qiao took it to the millstone in the backyard to grind it several times, and finally achieved the effect.
When selling toothbrush and tooth powder for the first time, the adults didn't know much about it, and the young ones went there with the mentality of trying it out, but this time it was different.
Su Qiao and her second brother Su Yihe walked through the morning dew almost under the eager eyes of the adults.
Su Yihe picked up the basket containing toothbrush and tooth powder nervously, but Su Qiao, who was carrying a slanted cloth bag, walked with ease.
She is still very confident in what she makes.
It is impossible not to sell.
When they arrived in the town, Su Qiao bought some small porcelain bottles with a tael of silver given by the old lady, and exchanged the tooth powder in the bamboo tube, and the two went to the place where they set up the stall last time.
Things happened as she predicted, there were already many people waiting there, some of them had bought it before, and some of them hadn't.
Almost as soon as their toothbrush and tooth powder were taken out, they were all robbed.
Before Su Yihe could react, it was sold out.
Su Qiao happily patted the bag on her waist.
This is what she asked Erni to sew for her to hold silver.
Erni was afraid of losing the silver, so she used two layers of fabric inside and outside, and sewed buttons and buttonholes on the pockets.
The buttons are made by Su Qiao with thin and polished small wood, imitating modern buttons.
She felt that buttons were safer than ropes, and simpler than coils.
