Chapter 181: Lifting
According to the method of duck farms, the duck feathers must be turned over every once in a while, turning the sun-dried side to the bottom, and the side that is not dry or moisture-carrying to the top. But if it is so simple to turn over, the dried duck feathers will inevitably stick together and become hard. Fox Xiaomei's method is to flip the duck feathers while her fingers bounce off the duck feathers that are stuck together, so that the duck feathers will be softer after drying.
The reason why she took out this method without reservation was to make this batch of duck feathers work better after drying, so as to attract the attention of the superiors.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince did not fight to go after entering the duck farm to inspect it, but came over to see her turn over the duck feathers, which gave Hu Xiaomei a good opportunity.
Hearing the voice, Hu Xiaomei turned around, a pair of Jinyun boots appeared in front of her, she lowered her eyes slightly, and respectfully saluted the visitor: "Back to the eldest prince, because this duck feather is easy to stick together after being wet, if you don't take the opportunity to spread it out when drying, I'm afraid that it will still stick together after drying, and it will become hard to tie up." ”
After finishing speaking, a pair of slender hands crossed over to the fox Xiaomei, picked up a few duck feathers from the big man, and on the other side of the line, a brocade-clothed figure had already walked over. Hu Xiaomei hurriedly took a few steps back and stood aside.
"Big brother, before you come back, I will ask Wei Dashan to let people clean up this duck feather, it should be able to dry it in the next two days, and then let people transport it out." Wei Tong looked at Wei Yudao with a smile, and seeing that Wei Yu didn't say anything, he said again: "This is about to be the New Year, get this batch of duck feathers out, and see if you can make a batch of down jackets before the New Year, there are many customers in our shop who have given heavy reservations!" "It's a complete picture of the business as its own business.
Wei Yu was still staring at the duck feather in his hand. didn't answer, but the chief steward next to him, Wei Si, glanced at Wei Tongtong.
Wei Tongxin has his own little idea, even if he can't get started with this business, it's good to be able to insert a flesh eyeliner into it. Seeing that Wei Yu didn't object to his words this time, he hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Big brother, it's better to strike while the iron is hot and order those customers, if you agree, I will let someone go to the shop to spread a word." ”
Wei Yu finally lifted his eyelids and looked at him, his deep eyes calm and unwavering. Just one glance. made Wei Tongxin jump twice.
He hurriedly smiled and said, "If the eldest brother thinks it's inappropriate, forget it." ”
"There's no rush on this matter!" Wei Yu said lightly.
The voice is calm and very masculine. Fox Xiaomei couldn't help but look up. Then he lowered his eyes and thought.
Few people dare to refute what Wei Yu said, except for the old man in the house.
How could he not know Wei Tong's thoughts, but he was just thinking about brotherhood and was too lazy to bother with him. Of course, it wasn't so easy for him to intervene.
Now. Wei Yu is carefully touching the duck feathers in his hand. Without the duck tube, it really feels much better, and this method of flipping the duck feathers is really good, and the duck feathers in the hands are really softer after being flipped like this. And those duck feathers that have just been turned over but have not bounced apart, some of them are glued together, and there are some hard ties.
He looked at Hu Xiaomei: "You think of this method?" ”
Fox Xiaomei lowered her head and said, "Yes." ”
"Very good." Wei Yu smiled slightly and nodded.
Wei Tong rarely saw Wei Yu so satisfied, he was curious, and immediately picked up the duck feathers in the big duck and looked at them carefully, it was good to touch, but he always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly he thought of the letter sent by Wei Dashan when he first arrived at the duck farm, and immediately frowned and said: "How did this duck feather be cut like this?" Who did it on their own initiative? Do you know, in this way, there is a lot less duck feathers! ”
Before Hu Xiaomei could speak, the sister-in-law Qin on the side had already stood up, and the respectful courtguards bowed and said, "Returning to the second son, it was the old slave who made him cut it like this." ”
"You, bold!" Wei Tong shouted angrily, pointed at Sister-in-law Qin and said angrily: "You are so timid, do you know how many duck feathers you will lose in this way?" Who gave you this guts? Wei Fu treats you well, why did you do this, quickly say, who made you do this? It seems that as long as Sister-in-law Qin says a wrong word, he will immediately let people do her.
It's just that Wei Tong didn't expect that Wei Yu would agree with this method so much. Don't hesitate to give him no face.
"Me!" Wei Yu said lightly.
"Huh? Eldest brother. Wei Tong looked surprised and said in disbelief: "Big brother, we will lose a lot of duck feathers if we pick and cut like this, and how many fewer clothes will be made at that time!" ”
"Who said duck feathers were missing?" Wei Yu looked indifferent and indifferent: "What is less is just a duck tube!" Then he looked at Qin's sister-in-law: "This method is good, start immediately, everyone put down their work, pick and cut all the duck feathers in the duck farm again, remove all the duck tubes, and from now on, all the duck feathers will also follow this method." After a pause, he turned to the fox Xiaomei on the side, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Are you new here?" ”
"Yes." Hu Xiaomei stepped forward and replied.
"Back to Gongzi, this girl's hometown was in trouble, and she went to Wei County with her father, and she was recruited into the house not long ago. Be honest and capable, and also clever. Sister-in-law Qin intended to say good things for Hu Xiaomei, so she took the initiative to mention Hu Xiaomei in front of Wei Yu.
"Oh, is it? Where are you from? Wei Yu asked casually.
"Back to the eldest prince, I am from Weijia Town." Fox Xiaomei said.
"Weijia Town?" Wei Yu turned around, his deep gaze was inquiring, and Hu Xiaomei was uncomfortable with him, so she had to bow her head again and replied: "Yes." ”
Wei Yu paused, retracted his gaze, turned around and walked in the direction of the duck farm gate, and said to the chief steward at the same time: "Wei Si, in the future, let this girl help Sister-in-law Qin take care of the duck feathers together!" ”
"Yes!" The steward of Wei responded and was busy sending Wei Yu and the two out of the farm.
Wei Yu and Wei walked together, the atmosphere of the duck farm came alive again, and everyone was shocked by Wei Yu's orders, but they didn't expect that Hu Xiaomei didn't come for long, but she was valued by the eldest prince and immediately reused.
Which one can mix in this house is not a person with an active mind and many eyes. Everyone came to congratulate the fox Xiaomei and stammered. The eldest prince's decision also gave Wei Dashan a slap in the face, yesterday he punished the three of Hu Xiaomei for this matter, and now Wei Yu exaggerated Hu Xiaomei. Even if he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Wei Yu, so he had to swallow this breath and leave silently.
Wei Dashan has no face, Wei Dashan's wife is naturally depressed, at this time the fox Xiaomei is valued by the eldest son, she doesn't dare to make a mistake, silently swallowed this breath in her heart, and only said that when she catches the fox Xiaomei's pigtail in the future, she must be treated well. The bucket twisted his waist and puffed into the house of the duck farm.
Vanilla has always been good with Wei Dashan's mother-in-law, and she had an unpleasant quarrel with Hu Xiaomei a while ago, although her son regretted that she shouldn't have a grudge with Hu Xiaomei, but she couldn't pull her face to please Hu Xiaomei, so she had to hesitate to follow Wei Dashan's mother-in-law into the house.
Hu Xiaomei accepted everyone's kindness, and she didn't hold her identity and stepped on those who had given her face before, she treated everyone equally, and accepted all the people who congratulated her, with a peaceful attitude, no arrogance at all.
This also made everyone have a much better impression of her.
Worthy of stammering, and approachable and talkative people who don't want to befriend.
For a while, Hu Xiaomei and the people in the duck farm got along well.
After the eldest son and the second son left, Qin's sister-in-law immediately asked people to move part of the duck feathers out of the house, and everyone put down the work at hand and began to pick and cut the duck feathers. Then he picked and cut to see if everyone's technique was correct. Whoever was wrong, she also taught her carefully, without the slightest impatience, so everyone smiled when they saw her.
Although there are Wei Dashan's mother-in-law and vanilla on the side, it does not affect the good mood of Hu Xiaomei at all.
It took a day and a half to pick and cut all the duck feathers again, and the dried duck feathers were almost ready to be bagged. Since she followed Sister-in-law Qin to take care of duck feathers, a lot of heavy and dirty work in the duck farm has not been assigned to her anymore, and the chief steward has let her move to the front yard to live in, and a separate room is assigned to her.
This made her very happy, how convenient it was to have a room of her own, especially living with Fox Fence Cloud, which always made her feel uncomfortable.
Fox Xiaomei moved away, Fox Liyun and the Qin family naturally inquired, and when they knew that Hu Xiaomei had won the attention of the eldest prince, Fox Liyun's silver teeth were almost crushed.
People are in good spirits when they are happy, and as long as a person starts to have good luck, good things will happen one after another.
Within two days, Thirteen found Hu Xiaomei.
"I've already told the porter to bring a letter to my uncle and aunt. See what you want to say, and write it down together when the time comes. ”
Fox Xiaomei was worried about whether to find Sister-in-law Qin to say goodbye to Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou for the past two days, but she didn't expect that Thirteen would dredge everything up without saying a word, which made the big stone in her heart let go, and she happily thought about what to write.
"First of all, I have to tell them that I have a separate room. I also had to tell them about the duck farm, and I don't know if they contacted my grandfather and grandmother. Presumably, they didn't even deliver letters from us, let alone deliver letters from outside. You say, should we send another letter to my grandparents and grandparents......
Fox Xiaomei began to worry about how to deliver the letter out of the farm again.
Unexpectedly, Thirteen said: "It's very easy, when the time comes, I'll ask Yang Jiu to send a letter over." ”
"That's right. How did I forget Yang Jiu. Hu Xiaomei said happily, and then said, "But how did you inform Yang Jiu?" ”
"I have my own way, so you don't have to worry about this." Thirteen patted his chest and promised her that he would never let her worry about it.
Now Fox Xiaomei is much more down-to-earth, the duck farm already has eyebrows, as long as she gets in touch with the sewing workshop, she can decide what to do next. She took out the ten copper plates that she had been hiding in her bosom and gave them to Thirteen.
"I only have so much, and I'll give it to you when I get the monthly allowance at the end of the month. If you want to carry something out, you have to spend some silver. ”
Thirteen took the copper plate that still had temperature and glanced at Hu Xiaomei deeply, and then the corners of his mouth hooked, and then put it away: "Okay, I'll do this tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
