031 Keeping out the cold

Feng Jiwen thought that she was pleased that her taste had improved, and she was about to make an excuse, but she heard Mrs. Feng say with a smile: "It's good to wear more festive clothes for the New Year, and the two colors that the girl picked are good, but she can't control the scene." ”

She's a little girl, what's the town?

Feng Jiwen couldn't cry or laugh a little, but then she probably understood that she meant to refer to her aura as the eldest lady of the Feng family.

But where can a person's aura be determined by the color of his clothes alone?

"It's time to do it this year, so it's hard to wear that eye-catching color again. ”

Red is the most provocative, it's really not something that her current dignity can control, people must have pursuits, but they can't always pursue things that are not suitable for themselves.

"Then make a shoulder for the girl, there is still a little red satin in the shop, although it is not much, but it is enough to make a shoulder of the girl, and then I will inlay you with a circle of white fox fur, how to see how festive, with a lighter color flag dress to wear, it will not look too fancy." “

How much do you want her to wear a bright red dress?

Feng Jiwen looked at her full of enthusiasm, and thought that she still had something to ask her to help with, so she also agreed.

Next, from the inside to the outside, from the top to the bottom, I don't know how many clothes I added, and finally I talked about the shoes.

Feng Jiwen only found out at this time that not only did there be no cotton slippers in this time and space, but there were not even cotton shoes.

At this time, shoe fabrics were roughly divided into three types, grass kudzu, leather and cloth.

In winter, men often wear boots made of leather to protect themselves from the cold.

At this time, cotton textiles were already quite popular, but no one seemed to think of putting a layer of cotton between the two layers of material in shoes to keep out the cold.

Feng Jiwen felt that this didn't even make sense.

Could it be that the Qing Dynasty, where she is located, has been traversed by too many people, so that history has been distorted?

She has no impression of whether cotton shoes appeared in the Qianlong Dynasty in history, but she knows very well that she will not be able to live without cotton shoes in winter.

She is a southerner who has never even seen snow, and she is very worried that she will bend over in the first cold snap of the great Beijing city because she does not do a good job of keeping out the cold.

"If you wear these satin shoes in winter, won't your feet freeze?" Feng Jiwen asked Mrs. Feng.

"What stupid thing is the girl talking about?" Mrs. Feng was amused by her, and said: "Put more sizes of shoes in winter, and there is an extra layer of thick cotton lining in them, and then put on wool socks, where can it be cold? In addition, make a new pair of deerskin suede boots, wear them on a snowy day, and they will never freeze the girl." ”

Feng Jiwen then understood.

Sure enough, she was ignorant.

Although the ancient times were far less developed than modern ones, the most basic instincts of people were still sound, and without cotton, they could always think of other ways to keep out the cold. Otherwise, after thousands of years, the vast number of people in the north would not have to freeze extinct?

But what cotton lining, suede boots, etc., the effect of warmth is certainly not comparable to cotton.

"Why can't you stuff another layer of cotton into it?" she asked Mrs. Feng with an extremely ignorant expression.

In the eyes of Mrs. Feng, she, a rich girl who only knows how to enjoy happiness in the boudoir, is indeed quite ignorant.

"Cotton is stuffed into shoes, but how can you wear it?" Feng Pozi said with a smile: "Even if you use it as an insoles, it is not easy to solidify." ”

"It's like a quilt. Feng Jiwen continued to be 'ignorant'.

"Where can shoes and quilts be the same...... "Mrs. Feng said this, her voice stopped abruptly, and the original funny smile on her face that was originally with Feng Jiwen froze.

Looking at her eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, Feng Jiwen knew that her reminder was in place.

"When the girl said this, I thought of a good idea! Cotton can't be stuffed directly into shoes, but it can be spun into shape to sew into the lining to make cotton-lined shoes...... "Mrs. Feng looked very excited: "It's like making cotton shoulders." I didn't think of that before. ”

Feng Jiwen coughed and said with a smile: "I'm also nonsense, you might as well go back and try it as you want, if you can really do it......"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the excited Mrs. Feng: "Good girl, if this method can really be done, then our shop will make money this year!"

Huh?

Feng Jiwen was stunned for a moment.

What she wanted to say was really just 'if it can be done, make her two pairs out to wear'?

How did it become a business opportunity when it came to Mrs. Feng?

"Girl, I'll go to our cotton spinning workshop at once and study it well...... I won't continue to chat with you for now!" As Mrs. Feng spoke, she put away the appearance she had brought.

"Huh!"

Seeing that she was about to bow and leave, Feng Jiwen hurriedly called her to stop.

Who is idle, has she always been premeditated and said that the right thing will be done?

"Girl, what else is going on?" Mrs. Feng said with a capital on her face, and she was anxious to go back to make cotton shoes.

This kind of feeling of suddenly having a good idea, for fear that others will take the lead, Feng Jiwen can understand, but she hasn't said the real point yet, auntie.

She pulled out the drawings she had drawn the night before.

"What is this?" Mrs. Feng glanced at it, only to feel that it was nondescript.

"I happened to see in a book, which is also a kind of shoe, you take it back and wonder if you can do it. Feng Jiwen pointed to the picture above, ready to explain it to her, but Mrs. Feng took the drawing directly, rolled it up and stuffed it into her sleeve.

"Well, I've written it down, and I'll have to go back and give it to the girl to ponder. ”

Looking at her back as she left in a hurry, Feng Jiwen felt as if she had been perfunctory.

After all, Feng Pozi's expression is obvious.

Can this be figured out for her?

She was faintly worried.

……

Not long after Mrs. Feng left in a hurry, Ziyun came to the door.

Fengfu Flower Hall.

"Why did you come so early?" Feng Jiwen asked as she stepped into the flower hall and opened her mouth.

The area where the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty lived was clearly divided, Yinglian Mansion was located in the jurisdiction of the Yellow Banner, and Ziyun had to come from the territory of the Red Banner, separated by the Taiye Pool and the Shina Sea, and the carriage had to go around a long circle.

To be able to arrive so early, I must have left very early.

"Don't mention it. ”

Ziyun's face was full of helplessness, and when Feng Jiwen approached, she lowered her voice and said: "I was called home by Ama at my grandfather's house last afternoon, and I heard that he and my mother were looking for my in-law's house for me, and I also found a painter to paint a portrait of me...... Tsk, I'm just a big one. This morning, I was afraid that they would stop me at home again, so I ran out just after dawn, so I could hide for a long time. ”

Feng Jiwen laughed when she heard it: "You can say this." ”

"Where would I say it if I were someone else? It's not just that I can only complain to you. Ziyun shook his head and said disapprerovantly: "That's it, don't mention this bad thing." ”

She is a typical optimist, she doesn't mention it if she doesn't mention it, she changed her smile in the blink of an eye, stretched out her hand to Feng Jiwen and said, "What about the gift you prepared for me?"
