Chapter 28 (1/2)
”Thank you, madam.” In the morning of the next day, Su Shuifu was wearing the cotton bag sewn last night. He was careful to pay attention to the basement and thanked the lady who was using breakfast.
”You are welcome, miss.” The shopkeeper's wife is also docile, especially after the two wolf cubs accepted her two nonsense leather children, their attitude towards Su Shuifu was better than others.
”If you still need it, I have some more. You're welcome. ” Although the shopkeeper's wife doesn't know what Su Shuifu does with cotton, the innkeeper knows to respect the privacy of the guests. Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, not to mention what the guests don't want to ask.
”Thank you, madam.” Su Shuifu nodded and smiled.
Those white cotton bags were sewn with six pieces of cotton last night. Because there is no absorbent paper, the effect is not as good as the cotton cloth used before. However, it's much better than pure white cotton. At least one night down, she replaced it only once, and there was no leakage.
She washed the cotton bag with clear water and dried it on the window. In the hot summer sun, without half a day, it can be dried and relaxed enough to be reused. However, it is easy to harden when used more often. Then it needs to be disassembled, and the cotton inside can be loosened by elastic cow tendon silk. It can be sewed again.
In a word, Su Shuifu is very satisfied with being able to use such a cotton bag at present. After all, she learned from the servant girl who cleaned the room that the women here used cloth bags sewn with grass and wood ashes. White cotton is sewn inside as a water pad for sunflower, which is only affordable for the high-ranking lady. Listen to Su Shuifu for a moment of shame. Well, she doesn't know, but even now, it's a bit hard to think of making cloth bags out of grass ashes.
So Su Shuifu clenches his fist. In the spring of next year, there will be a piece of cotton in the two acres of good farmland. As for how to grow cotton, I'll go to Shusi and buy some books on farming to study. They want to really integrate into the farm life of Fanhua town. If they don't understand farming, they can't. Moreover, she doesn't think that Lin Sixiao Well, killer, farming. So, their farm life is a long way to go and they need more.
………
Lin siyao still commutes to Fanhua town every day. Pack two steamed buns in the morning, and eat them with water as soon as noon arrives. The four carpenters who were so engrossed in carpentry did not dare to go home for lunch. People's masters are like this. How can they take the artificial money to go home and eat hot rice and drink hot soup. So, from the next day of picking up the wooden work, the four people also had two bunkers each day, and sent lunch. The speed of work is also faster and faster. It's only three days from the appointed ten days. If we don't work harder and say nothing about the ugly face of the host, we won't get extra reward.
On this day, several women around the fence and low wall of the house poked their heads at the house from time to time, and didn't know what they were talking about.
”I don't want to come here to ask for some wood. This kind of thing happens every time. It's enough to come here after seven days.” Feng Laoliu raised his eyes and looked out, shook his head, and still stepped up his cutting.
”Ah, isn't that the East Flower mother-in-law? She'll do well? ” Fang Dasheng, the youngest, occasionally came across Liu's mother-in-law of Huajia, who was caught in the crowd. He couldn't help being curious.
”Tut You don't know. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the flower family are famous in Fanhua town. They can't go in or out. You want to find it on her face excuse me? How could that be! ” Wang Shuifa, who is a little lame, is the cousin of the village head Wang Genfa. He lives with a wooden hand.
However, he is rarely chosen as the carpenter by the master's family. For one thing, he is lame, and for another, he is the cousin of the village head. How much is suitable for him? If the wood work is unsatisfactory, will the wages be deducted or not? In this way, I won't find him.
If Lin Shiyao didn't ask Feng Laoliu to recommend another three skilled ones this time, Feng Laoliu would not have thought of him. However, later I saw that Lin Sixiao had no such concerns, so I let go of the suspense.
”Ah FA is right. The flower family's mother-in-law is really cheap. My mother-in-law has suffered from her.” The last speaker is Tian Dafu, a neighbor of Huajia family. His straightforward mother-in-law, aunt Tian, had eaten the dark losses of Liu's mother-in-law of the Hua family several times when she first married into the Tian family. Later, she and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Hua family had never been able to compete.
