Chapter 315 Making Shoes

  Ye Muyu didn't want it, but only accepted the counter-offer. Wang Chuan sighed slightly in his heart, and further believed that the Chu Heng family was a person who could make friends.

  Ye Muyu doesn't like to be calculated by others, and is very satisfied with Wang Chuan's calmness, and is willing to make friends with him.

   "By the way, I don't know how Uncle Wang is. I want to make a few pairs of shoes." In the village, villagers wear straw sandals when they go to work in the fields. They only wear cloth shoes when they go to the county or relatives' houses for festivals.

  Ye Muyu wanted to make leather boots for traveling, waterproof and breathable cloth shoes.

  Chu Heng will go to the provincial capital to take the exam in a month, the journey is long, seven or eight days, there is only a rest station halfway on the road, and it is not convenient to wash up.

   July is the hottest time again.

   Why don't you prepare more breathable clothes and shoes.

  In order to avoid the long journey and being too tired, when you arrive in Fucheng, you will have to take the exam for three consecutive days. If you are not in good health, it will inevitably affect your answering during the exam.

  At this time of the exam, the student's body is the torment. Those who are not in good health may faint in the exam room.

   Not to mention taking the exam well.

  Ye Muyu has long been planning to find a shoemaker to make shoes. The Wang family is just right and their craftsmanship is also good. It is estimated that they can make the shoes she requested.

"I'm afraid my father's body can't make too many shoes now, at most one pair in five days, if my sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, I can do it." Wang Chuan also told the truth, he was afraid that Ye Muyu would be in a hurry, and he would move , When it stabilizes, I'm afraid it will take ten days and a half months.

   "You can do it, and I won't bother Uncle Wang." Ye Muyu said.

   "I have drawn some design drawings of shoes, as well as requirements, you can take a look."

  Ye Muyu had already made preparations, and called Mrs. Hu who was waiting next to her, to help her get the drawings from the study.

  Hu nodded, hurriedly went to the study, and came back after a while, still holding three blueprints in his hand.

  Ye Muyu is not good at classical painting, especially with brushes, so the shoes on this blueprint were drawn by Chu Heng. Basically, she only needs to make a request, and the other party can draw them accurately.

   "Look." Ye Muyu gave him the blueprint.

  There are three pairs of shoes in total.

  A pair of leather boots, according to the customary style of this era, is only intended to be thin-soled boots. Da Chu officials generally wear thick-soled boots, and ordinary people wear cloth boots. Leather boots are more expensive, but leather boots are waterproof and mosquito repellent.

  Thin-soled boots are mostly used in soldiers. Wang Chuan was a little surprised when he saw the drawings, but he didn't ask any more questions, only saying that it could be done.

In addition, there is a pair of breathable cloth shoes. According to the practice of cloth shoes in the previous life, Chu Heng can wear them while sitting in a carriage, but it is not suitable to wear them outside. It's nonsense.

  So Wang Chuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister-in-law, when are you going to make these shoes and wear them?"

   "Don't worry, it's only indoors, wear breathable clothes, it's more comfortable in summer." Ye Muyu smiled.

  Wang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although it looked strange, it was not difficult to do, so he nodded in agreement.

  The last pair are ordinary thick-soled cloth boots. This is what Chu Heng usually wears. When he went to the examination room, he had to change into these formal shoes.

   "Sister-in-law, I can make these shoes, when will you need them?" Wang Chuan received the drawings and asked for the time.

  Ye Muyu: "It will be delivered in a month at the latest."

   One month later, it will be the end of July, when the students in the county who are going to take the provincial examination will go to Fucheng for reference.
