"Rose red is usually worn by little girls in towns and counties. This is just right for my second sister. Do you want to wear the same thing as her, a little girl?"
Zhou Lihua glanced at the skinny Ernie, finally took a bite, and made up his mind. "Then I will choose the two colors you mentioned."
Ernie couldn't help showing a hint of joy.
She actually fell in love with the rose-red horse at first sight, but the auntie liked it, so she didn't say anything.
The clothes of this era were mostly cyan, goose 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, harems, backs, and skirts.
The skirt is based on dense pleats, tied with a palace ribbon around the waist, and hangs down to the ankles, which is somewhat similar to the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, because people in the countryside have to work, most of them choose clothes and trousers instead of skirts and so on.
Men's clothing is mostly robes with a large front, right hem, wide sleeves, and knee length. For more sophisticated ones, auspicious patterns will be embroidered on the fabric, and the patterns often have auspicious meanings.
Similarly, men from rural families often wear simple clothes and pants instead of wide-sleeved robes when going to the fields.
After everyone had finished choosing, Su Qiao randomly chose white and snow cyan, and quickly went about his business.

Because Su Qiao helped with the work for half a day, the harvest that was supposed to take four days was completed in two and a half days this year.
However, after the wheat is cut, the ears must be beaten and exposed to the sun for more than five days. In order to plant corn in the field, stakes must be burned and the land must be plowed.
At this time, there was no wheat threshing machine, just a door and window-style wooden frame, with one side placed on a square stool and fixed, and then the wheat was picked up and beaten hard.
There are wooden plows, but most people don't have oxen, so everyone relies on their hands.
Su Qiao wanted to help and saw if he could research a simple wheat beating machine, but it was too late.
And she had to be busy getting tooth powder.
Fortunately, on the morning of the third day, fifty toothbrushes and fifty bottles of tooth powder were produced.
During this period, the old lady took the time to collect the brown hair on the toothbrush and took the copper coins to two nearby villages. Although there were relatively few cattle, some families had mules.
As for the tooth powder, after mashing it with a pestle, Su Qiao also took it to the grindstone in the backyard and rolled it several times, and finally achieved the effect.
When the toothbrush and tooth powder were sold for the first time, the adults didn't know much about it, but a few children also went there with the mentality of giving it a try, but this time it was different.
Su Qiao and the second brother Su Yihe almost walked on the morning dew under the eager eyes of the adults.
Su Yihe carried the basket containing toothbrushes and tooth powder with some anxiety, but Su Qiao, who was carrying a cross-body bag, walked with ease.
She is still very confident in what she makes.
It's impossible not to sell.
When they arrived in the town, Su Qiao took the one tael of silver given by the old lady to buy some small porcelain bottles and exchanged the tooth powder in the bamboo tubes for them. Then the two of them went to the location where they set up the stall last time.
Things went as she predicted. There were many people waiting there, some who had bought before and some who had not.
Almost as soon as their toothbrushes and tooth powder were taken out, they were sold out.
Before Su Yihe could react, it was sold out.
Su Qiao patted the bag on his waist happily.
She asked Ernie to sew this specially for her to hold the silver.
Ernie was afraid of losing his money, so he used two layers of fabric inside and outside, and sewed buttons and buttonholes on the pockets.
The buttons are made by Su Qiao by thinning and polishing small pieces of wood, imitating modern buttons.
She feels that buttons are safer than ropes and simpler than Frog Button.
