【Silk quilt】

After that, the weather became colder and colder, and Mengfan had to think of ways to make himself comfortable through the first winter after coming to this time and space.

She has materials, in the past few months, the cocoons in the space have been harvested more than 600 catties, and she just took the time to come in to raise, there is no maid in the space, and fortunately, the silkworms in this space are very good to raise, mulberry trees are all over the mountains, one is thicker than the other, and the mulberry leaves are exaggerated and thicker than the other, and it seems that the water and soil are good.

However, she has the raw materials, but she can't do it without labor, so she went to the tooth woman in the town this day and wanted to ask her if there was a daughter-in-law from a farmer who could weave.

Who knew that as soon as she was about to go out, she saw the young owner of the Liuji Pharmacy in the town driving a carriage with a pair of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, saying that they were going to sell themselves, and asked Mengfan if he wanted someone.

Mengfan saw that she was a yellow-skinned and thin daughter-in-law, estimated to be in her thirties, and in her arms, she snuggled up to a blind lady, coughing and coughing all the time.

Because this little lady who claimed to be surnamed Xia, not to mention the ten taels of silver for selling her body, she looked like she was going to fall down at any time, and said that she was going to buy her, so she had to allow her to bring this sick and crooked old woman with her.

Liu Ji's young owner sighed and talked about it.

It turned out that the woman was only twenty-four years old, her husband had just died, and she had not left a seed in her stomach before, for a few months, her mother-in-law cried blindly, and she was a scoundrel old bachelor and so on from time to time to turn over the wall to ask for a good look, she was a chaste martyr, and she had the courage to beat people away with the top door bar, and the people in the village did not believe it, and the foul language flew all over the sky, and the uncle of the husband's family said that she could not afford to lose this face, and asked the village chief to send her back to her mother's house; But the blind mother-in-law didn't believe in these people, but only believed that her daughter-in-law was a good person, and as a result, she offended the only family member.

The woman who was abandoned by the patriarch and returned to her mother's house, the sisters-in-law of her mother's family did not let her enter the door at all, saying that she was unlucky, she wanted to go back and take another look and go to the river, but the blind mother-in-law stumbled and dragged her kneeling in front of her, crying to jump into the river with her, saying that no matter life or death, don't leave her a useless old woman who has no son and is blind.

in-law's house, she can't go back; mother's house, she can't go back; At this time, the mother-in-law broke her leg when she was dragging her, the family was surrounded by walls, and the life of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was already difficult, so she relied on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to weave some coarse cloth in exchange for some food. Her mother-in-law, who had broken her leg and contracted typhoid fever, was then carried in front of her.

In desperation, she knelt in the ruined temple where she temporarily lived and begged the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva did not appear but also came to a gray-haired monk from the wandering party, let her take her mother-in-law with her, come to Qingquan Village outside Qingquan Town to find a girl surnamed Li and ask her to take in their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

When I was looking for someone to inquire on the street, I happened to meet Liu Shaodong's mother going to the street to buy vegetables, and as soon as I heard that I was looking for Miss Li from their village, I hurriedly asked my son to bring someone.

This incident made Meng Fan wonder, she didn't know these two people......

With a plop, the daughter-in-law knelt in front of her with her blind mother-in-law: "Girl, it is really a master who came to join the girl by turning into a concubine, and the master said that the girl needs someone who can weave cloth here, and since the concubine married into her husband's family, the mother-in-law has taught the concubine to weave and spin cotton......"

Mengfan, who was taken aback, quickly stood up and held his hands together: "You guys get up, hey, I'm just a child, my mother-in-law is so old, I will die ......"

The little bald head grabbed her arm tightly on the side: "Fanfan, you just accept them, they are so pitiful......" His eyes were full of tears, and the red lower skin of his mouth bit out a line.

Yes, the big monk pointed out that she could ignore it, but this little monk looked delicate and weak to help speak, how could she refuse?

Accept it, take it, she is short of silver, but there is no shortage of food for people to eat, asked Liu Shaodong's family, the doctor in his pharmacy has prescribed medicine for the blind mother-in-law to treat typhoid fever, saying that the typhoid fever on her body looks like she coughs badly, but it is not a big problem, she only needs to have a place to raise it for a period of time while using the medicine; Moreover, the blind mother-in-law's eyes, although blind, can actually weave with her eyes closed; Moreover, it is not only the coarse cloth of ordinary people, but also spinning and brocade, which is said to be a craft brought by people from their parents' home.

When Meng Fan heard this, he was originally hesitant, but now he was comfortable.

Well, she has food for them to eat, a place for them to live in when it is not windy or rainy, and a silkworm cocoon, which is a craftsman in this area.

"Xia's silver ring, today sold himself to enter the Li family, waited for the eldest lady for life, did not have two hearts, if you violate the oath, the sky will thunder, and you will not die!"

"Luo's Mi Niang, today with my daughter-in-law sold herself to enter the Li family, in her lifetime, to be a slave and ......a servant for the eldest lady, the old body only hopes that one day, I can still raise my body, cure my blindness, and be able to see my son!"

A red light flashed in the sky, ordinary people, invisible, but Mengfan saw it clearly.

Well, what she doesn't really want to do now is to wear silk and satin, what she thinks most about is to have a set of quilts filled with silk and cotton, which is light and thin, and still warm.

After leaving the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she asked the two of them to live in the firewood house temporarily, and asked Ling Yaoxuan to put a small firewood stove under the eaves of the alley between the house and the mountain wall, saying that it was here to boil medicine. In this way, there is no smell of medicine in the kitchen, and people outside can smell it when they stand outside the fence wall.

She is here, few people come to the door, and even if someone comes, they usually sit in the tea shop, and she doesn't have a female companion in the village, so no one brings her home at all; On weekdays, when the door of the yard is closed, a big dog named Jack sleeps in the yard, and the people outside can also be seen at a glance.

Therefore, she brought the Luo and Xia mother-in-law into the space, lived in the now empty thatched hut, bought a loom and put it in, and asked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law what kind of yarn materials they needed, and bought them back one by one, and then she sat and waited for her silk quilt to appear.

【Pearl】

Because there has not been a drop of rain in the sky, the water level of the Qingshui River is getting lower and lower, many river mussels lie quietly in the water plants on both sides of the river bank, some have dried up, and the children in the village go to the river to find mussel shells to play with sand and mud under the various hillsides.

Because there are many old people in Mengfan's tea shop, and there are many people who come and go on weekdays, at this time, there is nothing busy in the field, so the adults in the village are not very constrained by their own children, so they let those children who are still young and cannot help the family work in the old people's place, free to move around in their leisure time.

Whoever sees these things will not care, but Mengfan is worried about it, because she accidentally saw a river mussel with a pearl in it by the river.

Now, she is not calm.

Let Ling Yaoxuan go to other towns to buy deep tile urns, and put them all in the backyard and lined up against the mountain wall, inside, all of them were filled with the clearest spiritual spring water in the pool under the space waterfall, and then used the big bamboo pipes that were bought from the outside to connect them one by one, and drip the water from the cracks in the mountain wall that seeped out from the hill behind them into the tile urn drop by drop.

Between the backyard and the hillside of his house, there is a high stone wall, and there is not even a door, so outsiders naturally can't see what is going on inside. Then, while ordering someone to dig a rectangular cave in the mountain wall, she said that she was going to collect the mussels.

The big mussels cost a penny, and the small mussels cost two or three pennies, anyway, as long as they are brought to her with live water, she will give the copper plates according to the size, whether it is adults or children, not a single child is in arrears.

Helian Qingtian was puzzled and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

She replied: "The big river mussel is raised, this is a delicacy, there will be this dish in the newly opened shop, the price is the same as that of the common people, the average person can afford to eat, and the taste is guaranteed to be unique!" The small one, I raise it, raise it...... Pearl......"

They asked again: "I have eaten the food made by the river mussels; But pearl farming? I've heard of it and haven't seen it, how can you? ”

She thought about it: "No, but I want to try, but if I don't try, no one knows whether it will succeed or not." Anyway, failure is success! She remembered the basic steps of freshwater pearl feeding, coupled with the completely non-toxic and harmless water of the space spiritual spring, so that the slicing soaking disinfectant water needed for artificial cultivation and the nourishing potion of pearl mussels were not a problem.

Helian Qingtian: "......"

After drinking saliva, he raised his head and said to Meng Fan seriously: "This matter, whether you succeed or fail after trying, you can't tell anyone that this is something you thought of out of thin air, understand?" "This crazy girl, where did the crazy thoughts come from?

Mengfan thief squinted and smiled: "Don't worry, only a few of us know the truth, they, without my permission, will definitely not say anything, dare to do anything to be sorry for me, I will break off your friendship with you!" ”

Helian Qingtian felt that his ears were so hot, he glared at Meng Fan fiercely several times, turned around, and walked away pretending to have nothing to do, but he almost tripped over the threshold.

Mengfan poked her head with her fingernails irritably, she remembered that she didn't say anything ambiguous. Why is this kid blushing like a monkey's ass?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, she doesn't feel hot, it's cold on her vest, so she has to quickly bring her cloak and wrap it up, so as not to catch a cold.

Well, the silk quilt can be made in a hurry, there is still a lot of cotton in the space warehouse, you have to make a few thick quilts first, oops, you have to find a cottonsmith who plays cotton.
