Chen Wenhui interrupted Chen Wenjun and said: "Big brother, I think of a new dress, which is warmer than a padded jacket, I will try to let people do it first, if it can be done, we will not only send it to the second brother, but also get more for the soldiers in the Chen family's field, so that everyone will not be cold." However, the Chen family must be prepared with silver to pay, although my jacket is not as good as satin, but it is definitely more expensive than the cotton jacket. ”

Chen Wenjun was very strange and asked, "Oh? Is there a warmer jacket than a padded jacket? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Anyway, don't worry about it, I'll figure it out." ”

Then Chen Wenhui got up and went back to the room. First asked Bi Lian to make chilblain cream, and prepared to bring this on the first boat to Shanghai City after the New Year, and then transport it to the Chen family in the northeast together with the materials purchased by the Chen family in Shanghai City.

Bilian was ordered to make chilblain cream. Chen Wenhui said to Qiu Bi: "Qiu Bi, are there ducks in our house?" ”

Qiu Bi said: "Yes, now there are many people in our house, and we can breed things by ourselves, so we have a lot of ducks, and this ancient family has come to us to buy duck seedlings and raise them." In addition, it is warm here, there are many ponds, and the people raise many ducks, so we buy many ducks every day to cook and eat. After all, there are more people in our house, guards, and children of the Hei family, but there are a lot of them. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded, these are all in charge of her sister-in-law, she has too many things to be busy, and she hasn't asked about these for a long time. So he said to Qiubi: "Go and tell the kitchen that there is a small layer of fluff on the ducks, and you ask them to collect all the feathers of the ducks." By the way, our Qinghelou in Xinguang City must also eat a lot of duck every day, you also go to tell them, collect these small fluff, and clean them. ”

Qiu Bi was strange, but she did it anyway. After a while, Qiu Bi came back with two large bags of fluff. Chen Wenhui was really taken aback, it turned out that she ate so many ducks in her house every day? But think about it. There are now five or six hundred people in his own house, and among them, the two groups of disciples of the black family are here. They originally wanted to cook their own rice, but after tasting the Chen family's food once. I don't want to cook by myself anymore, and I fall in love with the Chen family's diet.

Chen Wenhui found the book that was taken out of the treasure for the first time, turned to the processing method of down, and the process of making down jackets, and then wrote it out, and asked Qiu Bi to study it to see if she could make a down jacket.

Qiu Bi immediately took a few little maids and began to study the system.

Two days later, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Qiu Bi also made a down jacket. Chen Wenjun, Wan Meizhen, and Chen Wenhui all tried it on. It's really warm, Chen Wenjun said: "My sister is smart, such strange clothes can be tinkered with, so thick but so light, and so warm." How did you do that? ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "This method was in the book before, but I never remembered it." If it weren't for the eldest brother saying that the second brother had frostbite in the clan land in the northeast, I wouldn't have remembered it. The main thing is that we have been staying in Huzhou, Jiangnan Avenue, after all, it is not too cold, just wear a padded jacket, and then came to this Yizhou Island, and even don't need to wear a padded jacket. Where can I remember? This time, for the sake of the second brother, I asked them to make it out. In the future, I am going to find someone to cooperate with me to make zuò on a large scale, so that I can sell it to the clan land, so that the people in our clan land will not be afraid of the cold. ”

Chen Wenjun knew it in his heart. Because it's in front of people, so, my sister said it very vaguely, and this method was seen from the book of Emperor Guanglie. Although such a thing is peculiar, it is from the hand of Emperor Guanglie. It is not surprising that even the entire Chen family, and now the Hei family on Yizhou Island are all from the hands of Emperor Guanglie, so what is this mere piece of clothing.

However, it is nothing to Emperor Guanglie, but it is of great significance to the people living in the Northeast. Chen Wenjun thought a lot in his heart, after all, his sister was not very sensitive to politics, she just thought about making money, but she didn't know how much this thing could bring to the clan land, and how many things she could use to do with it.

Of course, this doesn't have to be handed over to my sister to do, my sister has done enough for this family, and it's time for him to do these things as an older brother.

Chen Wenjun said to his sister: "Sister, this down jacket is of great significance, you must quickly arrest this matter and assign someone to be responsible for the production of this, I will be of great use." ”

As soon as Chen Wenjun said this, the intelligent Wen Hui immediately figured it out, before, she had never thought about it in this direction, because she was still a businessman with strict thinking, and very little political thinking, although it was less, but it was not that she didn't understand anything, so after being reminded by her brother, she immediately realized the importance of this matter. If the clansmen in the clan have advanced cold-resistant clothes, it means that they are much ahead of the barbarians, so that they can use troops against the barbarians in the cold winter, and in addition, their own side will naturally have a three-point advantage for the tribesmen who supply a large amount of food, have clothes to wear, have food to eat, and wear warm and drunk enough to fight with the barbarians, and that can really change the current situation with the barbarians.

This is equivalent to making a great contribution to the clan, and this credit may be greater than the construction of Shanghai City and the making of money in the clan. If you make good use of it, maybe your parents and brothers will be able to achieve the self-reliance portal that your parents and brothers have been working hard for.

Chen Wenhui couldn't say it in front of people, but her clear eyes revealed that she understood what her brother meant.

Chen Wenhui thought about it carefully and said: "I will send Qiu Bi, who knows this method, back to Qingyang City in Jiangnan after the New Year, and let my parents do this thing, after all, they are more convenient, and this clothes need to use duck fluff, Jiangnan Our Huzhou We were the first to implement breeding, and now Ancheng has become the largest poultry and livestock trading market nearby, and there are tens of thousands of ducks trading where every day." It's easier for us to collect eiderdown where everyone doesn't want, so it's better to build a workshop there. What do you see? ”

Chen Wenjun nodded and said, "That's good, but in this way, sister, there is only one Bilian left by your side to serve, how can you do it?" ”

Wen Hui has four big girls, Qiubi, Bilian, Green Sprout, and Cuiqiao. Cui Qiao lent it to Wang Yaozhen, and Green Sprout stayed in Shanghai City to help Wan Shuhui. Now, if Qiu Bi is sent back again, then there will only be one Bi Lian left, so how can it be?

Chen Wenhui also thought of this question and said: "After the New Year, the things in Green Shoots Shanghai City will be almost dealt with, and you can come over, and Qiu Bi will only go back after the New Year." So, when the time comes, I still have two people by my side, my brother doesn't have to worry, it's just that I still think that there are fewer people around me, so it's better to raise two of the eight maids in the second class and train them, and then tell my mother to add the girls trained at home to the two of them in the second class. Speaking of this, I also remembered that the maid next to my sister-in-law came. Sister-in-law, do you also take the opportunity to ask your mother for a few more, and be prepared, in the future, these four around you will be married, so that there will be someone to take over. ”

Wan Meizhen nodded and said, "I had such a meaning before, but I didn't have time to mention it to my mother-in-law." Now it's time to mention it with you. I remember my mother-in-law said that she has recently trained a lot of little maids in the house, all of whom were selected from our Zhuangzi, and they are the best ones who know their roots, are loyal, and capable. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Then it's decided." ”

Chen Wenhui asked again: "Tomorrow is the New Year, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, how can we spend it?" ”

Chen Wenjun said with a smile: "Seeing that we are busy, we don't even have time for the New Year." ”

Wan Meizhen pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I have arranged everything, the rewards of the people in the mansion have been distributed, in the shops, the guys in the restaurant, the rewards of the treasurers, the dividends have been distributed, the New Year goods prepared everywhere are very sufficient, and there are more people in the black family this year, I have arranged the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the New Year's food is also made by the people, and they have also issued rewards, and I have arranged some celebration programs in the city, such as, lion dance, dragon dance, and the bonfire party that the local natives like very much, the singing party, etc., It should be very lively, and my sister will like it. I sent invitations to the chiefs of the indigenous tribes to come and celebrate the New Year with us. Let them also take the opportunity to visit Shin Kong City. ”

Chen Wenjun nodded and said: "Madam, you have worked hard, these were originally things that I, the city lord, did, but I have been too busy recently, where do I have the energy to do this, thanks to the fact that I have a virtuous helper." ”

Wan Meizhen's face was flushed, and she was speechless, Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "Come on, you two don't show affection in front of me, numb." ”

Wen Jun smiled, and Mi-jin's face turned even redder.

In the next few days, Meizhen's New Year's life was really colorful, and many natives from the mountains came to Shin Kong City in groups to participate in activities, and they were all attracted by Shin Kong City, which is more beautiful than Black Iron City, there are also street lights, there are smooth and tidy streets, and the most important thing is that there are many novelty items to sell here, and there are many merchants and people from the Central Plains. Many of the natives with better economic conditions are ready to buy a shop in Shin Kong City, or rent a shop, as if they were in the Black Iron City, and sell some things produced in their own territory. At the same time, you can also buy some things that the Black Iron City can't buy here, and this Xinguang City is more open than the Black Iron City, there is a school directly open to all children, and they can study in it for free, but the enrollment conditions are much simpler than the Black Iron City to recruit disciples, which makes these natives extremely happy. Many people want to send their children to study in Iliron City after the New Year.

This made Chen Wenhui's brothers and sisters very satisfied, and praised Wan Meizhen for doing a good job, which really brought popularity to Xinguang City.
