On this day, during breakfast in the morning, the Yang family of the Huang family on Hulu Street wrapped the poached eggs in oiled paper. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At noon and dinner in the evening, Yang wrapped up his four taels of pork again and secretly hid it in his arms.

When he was "off work", Yang was full of joy, and walked back home briskly with four taels of meat and a poached egg.

Yang's family is a shared courtyard with others, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw her two children, the eldest girl and Shishi, playing in the yard. The eldest girl is nine years old and has a dirty long braid. Stone was only six years old and was playing with mud in the yard stupidly.

As soon as she saw Yang, the eldest girl threw herself into Yang's arms: "My mother is back!" ”

Yang smiled and touched the eldest girl's head, took out the oiled paper wrapped in meat from his arms, waved it proudly in front of the eldest girl, and said, "Eldest girl, what do you think this is?" ”

The eldest girl sniffed it with her nose hard, hesitated for a while, and then said, "It's so fragrant!" It smells so good! It seems to be meat! ”

"Does it smell good or does it seem to be?" Yang was amused by the eldest girl's words. She picked out a piece of shredded meat from the oiled paper, gently put it into the big girl's mouth, blinked her eyes and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

The last time the big girl ate meat was during the Chinese New Year. At this time, she had shredded meat, and she chewed it vigorously a few times before swallowing it vigorously. With an excited face, the eldest girl shouted: "Mother, this meat is really delicious." ”

Seeing that the eldest girl said that it was delicious, Yang happily poured half of the shredded meat in the oil paper into the eldest girl's hand, and said with a smile: "Eldest girl, give you half, and give the remaining half to my brother, okay?" ”

The eldest girl held the shredded meat in both hands, licked her lips and said, "Mother, I and my brother have eaten it, you can eat it too!" ”

Yang said with relief and pride: "My mother has been eating for several days, and I eat every day." Today my mother secretly brought it out for you and the stone to eat. ”

The eldest girl picked up a piece of shredded meat and put it in her mouth, chewed it vigorously, and nodded.

Yang raised his head and was about to shout stones, but he saw that his son was already standing next to the eldest girl, watching his sister eat meat, and saliva was already flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Silly stone." Yang picked out two strands of meat and put them into the stone's mouth. When the son got the meat, he immediately bit it up, and his face was happy.

Seeing his son's happy face, Yang breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of happiness.

This is all the happiness brought to him by the Li family! If it weren't for the weaver's work, where would my family be able to eat meat on weekdays? In the past, I got up early and went to bed late to weave every day, and I couldn't earn one or two or two dollars of silver a month, and my husband worked as a partner in someone else's gourd shop, and he only had one or two dollars of silver a month. With less than three taels of silver to feed a family of four, life is tight, and it would be good to have food.

Now that I am working in the Li family's weaving workshop, I don't need silver to eat and drink, plus two taels of silver a month, and my own life will soon become popular.

Perhaps, after saving a few years, you can buy a small yard at home.

Thinking about the hope of the future, Yang became more and more happy. She gave the rest of the shredded meat to the stone and pushed open the door of her house.

In the room, her husband Huang Gui was sewing a patch with a broken thread on a cotton coat in front of the tung oil lamp. His sewing skills were not good, and the threads were crooked, and he looked very clumsy under the tung oil lamp.

Seeing this, Yang snatched the padded jacket from Huang Gui's hand and scolded: "What are you sewing? How can a big man do this sewing thing? ”

Huang Gui smiled wryly and said, "Isn't it your 'off-duty' night, and I'll do something for you?" ”

Yang said: "I get off work at the end of the day, and there is still an hour and a half at home, why can't I do these things, and I want you to help?" ”

Huang Gui touched his head and said, "Now that you go to the Li family weaving workshop to work, you can earn so much silver, should I also make more contributions!" ”

Her husband's words amused Yang, and she lowered her head and laughed. But she only laughed for a moment before she raised her head and handed the poached egg in the oiled paper to her husband: "Here you go!" ”

Huang Gui looked at the poached eggs, his face turned red, he shook his head and said, "This is what you earned by working, how to hide it for me to eat?" Don't let your 'supervisor' see it and deduct your wages. ”

"The Director sees it! But he doesn't care, anyway, it's the meat and eggs that I give me, and I don't care what I do with the owner. Yang stuffed the egg into her husband's mouth and said, "Here you go!" ”

Huang Gui's face was bloody, and he waved his hand and said, "I don't eat it!" I'm embarrassed to eat your eggs! ”

Yang Shi was dissatisfied, stuffed the egg into Huang Gui's mouth, and said loudly: "If you say it's for you to eat, I'll give it to you, you are a big man, what are you awkward!" ”

Huang Gui was put on the poached egg, but he couldn't screw Yang, so he could only open his mouth and bite down. I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and the sweetness of the eggs makes Huang Gui feel refreshed.

Seeing that Huang Gui finally opened his mouth to eat, Yang asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?" ”

Huang Gui hurriedly nodded and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

Seeing her husband's stupid appearance, Yang's heart was full of happiness. She raised her head and laughed, laughing louder and louder, full of happiness in her laughter.

In early March, the cotton cloth from the Li family weaving workshop was transported to the store of Dong Zhiyi, a large cloth merchant, and was put on the market through Dong Zhiyi's channel.

Li Jiabu, which is twice as wide as ordinary cotton, immediately attracted the attention of all parties.

The Xu family of the Lin family in the tea workshop is going to marry their daughter these days, and they will go to their in-laws' house to shop for a dowry in a few days, so they want to make a few sets of new clothes for their daughter. She walked to the Dong family's retail cloth village in the south of Tianjin, and was immediately attracted by the wide cloth.

"Shop, why is this white cotton cloth so big, twice as wide as ordinary cotton cloth."

The shopkeeper in the store walked up to Xu and said proudly: "This is the newly listed Li family cotton cloth, which is twice as wide as ordinary cotton cloth." The shopkeeper lifted the Li family cotton cloth, gestured on the cotton cloth and said: "The cotton cloth is so wide, there is more room for cutting, and the cloth can be used more." In the past, a lot of leftovers came out when the cloth was cut slightly, but now that the cloth is wider, these leftovers have become larger, and these leftovers have become useful parts that can be used to make clothes. ”

"And!" After a pause, the shopkeeper said: "The cloth is wider, and the front placket and back placket can be cut directly into a piece when making clothes, and there is no need to cut and form them twice and sew them together by thread, which saves effort to make clothes, and the clothes made are less stitched, and they are more decent!" ”

"The Li family's cotton cloth, could it be the Li family who makes soap in the east of the city?"

"It's the Li family in the east of the city!"

"Why is this Li family so powerful, they have made such a good thing as soap, and now they have woven such a wide cotton cloth?"
