Chapter 226: Cheesecloth
At this moment, Li Xincai really felt that maybe many of her thoughts were wrong.
It's not that there are no true feelings in this world, maybe it's just because she has been hurt, and she feels that there are no long-lasting feelings in the world. Perhaps, she really thought wrong, a lifelong relationship may not be able to really meet as soon as you fall in love.
After all, there are too many impermanences in this world, and how many people can really live with their first love for a lifetime. It's just that many people are not unhappy in their lives when they are separated from their first love, and they can no longer find the other half who they can stay with for a lifetime.
Her mistake may be that after a hurt, she no longer believes in the feelings of the world. So, I don't try again, since I don't try, how can I find the person who is really suitable for me? Some people, since they are just passers-by in their own lives, will eventually pass.
Some people are destined to meet you, destined to be tempted, but after all, they are just passers-by, and it is impossible for them to really achieve positive results.
There are always too many lines in the world, and the styles of feelings created are also different. If two people want to stay together for a lifetime, they must be two lines, first each going their own way, then eventually intersecting, and finally overlapping together. It coincides with the long journey that follows, and these routes are not always easy. Maybe it didn't coincide before, but it also intersected with other lines!
It's a pity that after a meeting, in the end, they are drifting away in different directions, and they may not meet again in their lives.
It seems that all of a sudden, something suddenly exploded in my heart like fireworks. Then, something gradually became a little different.
Li Xin looked at Zheng Xing and Mrs. Zheng like this, and the ice in his heart seemed to be slowly melting.
Mrs. Zheng saw that Li Xin was in a daze, so she took the vegetables and put them in Li Xin's bowl, "Sister Xin, what are you in a daze!" Hurry up and try the food in our house! Although it may not be able to compare with Yipinzhai, the taste is not bad! ”
"The relationship between Master Zheng and his aunt is so good! It's enviable to look at! Li Xin laughed slightly.
"We're all old husbands and wives, and what are you talking about emotionally unemotional! Don't envy us for anything, our sister Xin is so good, in the future! I don't know what kind of good man can match our sister Xin! I'm afraid that it is a fairy couple, and I envy others! Mrs. Zheng looked at Li Xin with a smile.
"I hope so!" Li Xin smiled slightly, but he didn't feel ashamed. After all, in her previous life, she didn't know how much she had heard of it compared to such over-the-top words, and now she really doesn't feel anything like this.
After dinner, everyone sat down in the courtyard to cool off. After all, the house is stuffy, and in the courtyard, there is a cool breeze, but it will be much more comfortable. At this time, even at night, it can be a bit muggy.
Sitting in the courtyard, Zheng Xing also told some interesting stories about going to sea for everyone. Regarding all kinds of overseas affairs, except for Li Xin, all of them felt very novel and listened attentively. Now listening to Zheng Xing's words, everyone knows that the original journey to the sea was not really smooth sailing, and there were really a lot of dangers, but fortunately, in the end, the danger had been turned into a disaster.
Although Zheng Xing's words were simple and his tone was very peaceful, everyone could still feel the thrill after all. That kind of, if there is really a little bit of a mistake, Zheng Xing is afraid that he will not be able to come back safely.
Mrs. Zheng was really shocked to hear it, "Master! If I had known the dangers of the sea, I wouldn't have let you out a long time ago. Mrs. Zheng held Zheng Xing's hand tightly and trembled slightly.
"Don't worry, I'm not back well, it's all over." Zheng Xing gently patted the back of Mrs. Zheng's hand and quietly comforted her. "I promise, this is the first and last time, and I will never think about going to sea again. When I didn't go out before, I wanted to go out and see it, but when I really went out, I realized that it was not a place where ordinary people could come and go at will. This time, if it weren't for the awesomeness of the people accompanying me, I'm afraid I wouldn't really be able to come back. Zheng Xing sighed.
It is only when death is really so close that the instinct of survival comes up with a strong posture that it has never been before. He really regretted going to sea, if he was really buried on the vast sea, how would the people in that family live in the future! Although I really have a lot of insight when I go out this time, this kind of insight is enough once, and I really can't take such a risk with my life anymore.
Looking at the appearance of Zheng Xing and Mrs. Zheng, Li Xin really felt that his light bulb was a little too big. It is rare for husband and wife to reunite, so it is natural to recount the pain of parting.
Li Xin also got up first to say goodbye and left with Yuexiang and the others. Zheng Xing and his wife didn't keep it too much, and it was not too early, and it was time to separate. Moreover, at a time like today, it is indeed difficult to force the guest to keep the host. I only said goodbye another day, and then we parted first.
On the way back, Li Xin's eyes kept showing the appearance of Zheng Xing and his wife. The kind of relationship between the husband and wife really shocked her deeply.
I don't know if I can have such a relationship, but her mood has really changed a little. She also sincerely wishes Zheng Xing and his wife to grow old together and live a long and healthy life.
"Cousin, what are you thinking? We're at Yipinzhai. Ling Feifei pulled Li Xin's arm and shook it.
"What's wrong with me? Are we back yet? Li Xin suddenly came back to his senses.
"My cousin has been in a daze since she left the Zheng family! We're back, get out of the carriage! Ling Feifei pulled Li Xin out of the carriage.
The next day, the Zheng family sent a lot of gifts to Li Xin and others, and I heard from the servant who sent the gifts that Zheng Xing brought back from overseas. Not to mention whether the things are precious or not, the things brought back from overseas are already very valuable. Li Xin looked at those things carefully, there were all kinds of overseas gems, spices, and some overseas gadgets.
There are also some cloths among them, Li Xin touched them carefully, and there were a few muslin cloths among them, which was really a surprise.
Since she came to this world, she has never seen cotton products! The materials of cloth are mainly all kinds of hemp and silk. And cotton is only kapok, and there is no woven cotton. Kapok can be used to fill pillowcases and bedding, but it cannot be used to weave cloth.
Moreover, the yield of kapok is also very small, mainly because the place where it grows is limited. Moreover, kapok is a tree, and unlike cotton, it can be harvested in a year, but it takes many years to bloom and bear fruit. Then there are thorns on the kapok tree, and it is not easy to pick kapok. In general, you have to wait for the kapok to fall on its own, and then go to pick it up.
So, no matter what you say, kapok is something that cannot be used universally.
Therefore, at this time, Li Xin saw the cotton cloth, and he was so surprised. Unexpectedly, this time Zheng Xing went to sea to bring back cotton cloth, I don't know if he brought back cotton seeds! Since Zheng Xing can bring back cotton cloth, does it mean that even if Zheng Xing does not bring back cotton seeds, those merchant ships that go to sea may bring them back?
If cotton really spreads, it can be regarded as a good thing for the benefit of the world. The cold function of cotton is very good, and the yield is also high, and hundreds of catties of cotton can be harvested in one acre of field. Linen has almost no function to protect against the cold, and silk is too expensive. In this era, the quality of mulberry trees was not very good, and the leaves produced were relatively small and thin, so the yield was not large.
The mulberry leaves grown in a few acres of fields can't feed too many silkworms.
Therefore, the emergence of cotton is very shocking. As long as there is cotton, you can make a lot of cotton jackets, and in winter, there will not be so many people frozen to death. The winter in the south is quite good, no matter how cold it is, it can't be cold. But the north is different, that kind of cold really wants to coagulate people's hot blood into ice.
If you take good measures to keep warm, then you will be able to survive the winter safely. However, some poor families do not have thick clothing and not enough charcoal, so it is not easy to survive the winter safely. So every winter, some people will freeze to death, mostly some poor families and beggars.
In some people's homes, the houses are all dilapidated, and the cold wind blows everywhere when they live in them, and there is no way to have any warmth at all.
"Cousin, what kind of cloth is this? How come you've never seen it? Ling Feifei gently touched the cotton cloth curiously. Cloth is indeed very strange, very soft, but it is different from the silkiness of silk. There are a lot of materials in the house, and she thinks she has seen all kinds of materials! I didn't expect there to be material she hadn't seen at all!
"I don't know! It's from overseas, so it's normal that we haven't seen it. Li Xin had already put away his surprise.
She knows a lot of things, and I'm afraid that she has already aroused the suspicion of others. If you even know cotton cloth from overseas, others will find it even more strange. Therefore, she can't explain anything to Ling Feifei now.
"Cousin, I've never seen anything like this! Would you like to give me one? ”
"The Zheng family has sent so much! If you like it, pick a few! This material looks very soft, and it should be very comfortable to make close-fitting clothes! ”
"I feel the same way when I touch it! It should be good to make close-fitting clothing. Then I won't be polite to my cousin! I'll pick two. Ling Feifei happily picked it up. In fact, there is nothing to choose, these muslin cloths are almost the same, there are not too many colors, maybe the weaving technology is not too developed! R1152
