Although it has reached the cold winter wax moon, Chu Ying still gets up early every day to exercise, and has been drinking decoction for a long time intermittently, coupled with regular exercise, Chu Ying feels that her body's resistance has increased a lot, Chu Ying looked at the bear skin that was taken back by Ye Qiu.

The rabbit skin at home can be dried first and then soaked in water with plant ash and then "burned", and then dried in the shade The skin will be softer, and the fur of the bear hunted before is too big, and the second is more precious, unlike rabbit fur can be obtained again through guò breeding, so let Ye Qiu find a master who can nitrate fur to deliberately nitrate.

"This is soft, you will no longer be afraid of the cold when you go out this winter, this can be made into a gown and a gown, to measure, you have grown taller these days." Ye Qiu took the wooden ruler and measured Chu Ying's size more accurately.

"Let's make two coats, one for you and one for me, you often walk outside, it's not good when it's cold." Chu Ying continued to practice calligraphy, and the paper full of words was soaked in water for a while to soak the ink off, and then it could be reused to make paper, which was recycled paper.

"You're weak, I don't have cotton clothes, there are more than 30 rabbit skins, I can make one or two clothes, the gloves you asked me to make have been done, do you see it next to your pillow? Why don't you bring it? Ye Qiu brought over the gloves that were specially made according to Chu Ying's request and brought them to Chu Ying.

This glove is made of short fingers and a flip cover, and when you are working, you can turn the upper part over and buckle it on the wooden button that Chu Ying polished, and you won't freeze your fingers when you go out.

"It's not very convenient to write, you can do it yourself, by the way, make one for Lu Ming and Brother Wang, as well as Bai Yuhe and Aunt Wang, and wait for the New Year to bring a pair to grandma." Chu Ying helped Ye Qiu press the bear skin so that it was easier for Ye Qiu to cut.

"Okay, okay, a rabbit skin can make a glove, it should be enough, there should be more rabbits next year, this rabbit nest is only a quarter of it now, if it weren't for some drought this year, this rabbit would give birth to more." Next year, Chu Ying will prepare to go into the mountains to hunt, so that she can eat less rabbit meat at home and save more rabbits to produce rabbit skin.

Chu Ying looked at the fact that there was already some thick snow outside the door, this winter came earlier than last year, the chicken nest had been kept warm in the winter month, and the soil bricks used when the rabbit nest was built would have better thermal insulation, Chu Ying still added straw to each grid of the rabbit nest around, leaving only one side for ventilation.

After a few days, when the snow stopped a little, Chu Ying picked up a wooden shovel and wore a bearskin jacket made by Ye Qiu to look at the land that had been cleared before, Chu Ying looked at the rain in the pool dug before, plus the snow was already a quarter deep, waiting for the next period of the rainy season, the pool could rise.

Chu Ying thought about using a wooden shovel to shoot the snow on the ground, so that there would be a lot of snow water in the soil after thawing, and at the same time, the insects in the field would also freeze to death, which would facilitate the growth of spring-sown crops, but after only a short shot, Chu Ying already felt a little sweaty on her back, so she hurriedly wrapped the rabbit fur scarf made by Ye Qiu, but she couldn't freeze against the cold.

It would take at least half a month to shoot such a large piece of land, even if it was a little difficult for herself and Ye Qiu to go together, Chu Ying had to borrow a mill to crush rice and an old ox, otherwise this plan would have to be shelved.

After Chu Ying and Wang Qiyuan said this idea, Wang Qiyuan borrowed the old ox and the roller, unloaded the ox cart and pushed the roller down, and then loaded the roller on the parts of the old cow.

"As long as the cow is fed, and then half a penny of silver is given every day, no one has a job in this winter, so it is cheaper, and when the farm is busy, it is necessary to collect money and silver for a day." Even if it is money and silver for a day, Chu Ying thinks it is worth it, the strength of this cow is comparable to that of 3 adult men, and it can't be grabbed when the farm is busy.

"Thank you very much, but I can't drive, and I need your help to teach me." Chu Ying fed the cow some grass, and then learned the appearance of Wang Jiyuan on the side, watching Wang Jiyuan lead the cow is very labor-saving, but in his own hands, the cow became a strong ox, no matter how he pulled, he couldn't pull it, and fell on the snow several times.

"It's okay, I'll come, you don't have to learn it, you're young, wait until you're older to make it move." Chu Ying patted the snow all over her body, crossed her hands on her waist, and looked at Wang Yuyuan and the old scalper, who were walking away step by step.

After a few sighs, he chased after him and continued to learn, waiting for the grass to be fed a few more times in the evening, so that it could stay in the stable with Changsheng to be warm, and this thing was a little gentle with himself the next day, this farm work really requires experience, although Chu Ying can pull the cow to walk a long way, but looking back, it is crooked, it seems that he still has the opportunity to practice more in the future to accumulate experience.

With the help of the old scalper, the snow was compacted in two days on the more than 5 acres of land, and Chu Ying gave the silver money and gloves to Wang Qiyuan.

Wang Jiyuan looked at the three furry rabbit furs in his hand and the two rabbit furs, and he didn't know what they were for.

"It's a glove, put your hand in it, put your thumb in this hole, it's going to warm it up, and it's going to turn it over when you're going to work." Chu Ying asked Ye Qiu to replace the buttons with the handicap she was good at, firstly, Ye Qiu was used to the handicap, and secondly, it was quite laborious to make this wooden button, and Ye Qiu said that it was very impractical.

"That's pretty practical, but what about these two?"

Chu Yingzhan said with a smile: "My sister-in-law will give birth in a few months, this is reserved for the child, and it is good to make some small things when the weather is not warm." I didn't know how big to make, so I picked two of the softest ones, which should be more comfortable for children. ”

Wang Qiyuan looked at Chu Ying, whose face was a little red from the cold, warmed her cheeks with her hand, watched her raise her eyes and look at herself in a daze, and slowly withdrew her hand, "Thank you, I will talk to Yuhe, then I will go first, I have to change the cow and the wheel." ”

In the next few days, waiting for the snow to be smaller, Chu Ying took the gloves made by Ye Qiu and sent them to Lu Ming, but when looking at the thick whole glove on his hand, Chu Ying felt that the idea of wanting to sell gloves might be a little unrealistic, the shape of the gloves on Lu Ming's hands was similar to that of modern gloves, and silk cotton was added to them.

"What is this? Gloves? What did you do? "Lu Ming wears it on his hand, the size is very appropriate, and the upper half can be turned over and put on it, which is very convenient.

"Ye Qiu made it, you can use it well." It was rare for Lu Ming to put it on just the right size, and Ye Qiu was really careful.

Lu Ming patted the snow on Chu Ying's head and asked her to take off her outer gown and go into the house to warm up. "It's cold these days, business is getting better and better, and this time my father came back and said that the paper in other places is selling well, and the amount you do is enough now, and you will start work when spring begins, please hire some people, don't have to do it yourself, it's also very tiring."

"I don't do much, Ye Qiu and I are enough." Chu Ying hugged Lu Ming's soup woman and warmed her hands.

Lu Ming added some more charcoal, "Money is not enough, you can't think about making any money yourself, some money still has to be left for others to earn, you are so clever, you should be able to understand this reason." ”

Chu Ying naturally understands that a win-win situation is the best, since Lu Ming said so, this spring should be busy, when the time comes, ask Wang Jiyuan for help, with a child, Wang Jiyuan's life pressure should be a little great, the main Wang Jiyuan is down-to-earth and willing to work.
