Saying that, Sangou turned around and knelt down in front of the cow, and before his knees reached the ground, he was dragged by the cow, and the cow was a little angry and shouted: "Breath point, you are also a man, don't kneel still, the man has gold under his knees, kneel too much, and the gold is gone." ”

"......" Sangou choked up and couldn't speak.

"Don't leave your books behind when you go back, read more books, and whatever you do in the future will be useful"; "You see, these brothers of ours have suffered the loss of not reading any books, so they have to make cattle and horses for others"; "If you have a chance, read more books to your brother, that is the best reward for your brother."

"I will, I will......" Sangou had nothing else to say but to swear.

"Well, send guests for thousands of miles, and there will be a farewell; Go back and get some rest, and you may have work to do tomorrow. ”

"Okay, then goodbye, brother."

"Goodbye, go back, come to me in time if there's anything."

"Okay, goodbye."

……

Sangou said goodbye to Niu Gu, turned his head and went back to the inn Datong Shop where everyone lived, and suddenly remembered something when the time came, and quickly turned around to buy some pickled vegetables, peanuts and rice, and made some soju, and basically spent all the money on his body.

Sangou returned to the inn with wine and food, some of them were taking a lunch break, some were chatting, like white radishes and the like, they must not be here, they went out early to fool around.

Sangou borrowed some bowls, chopsticks, cups or something from the store, put the food on the table of the inn, and beckoned everyone to drink together; If there is such a good thing as drinking wine, everyone will definitely not let it go, and they will gather around.

"Sangou, I went out in the morning, and I didn't see you for lunch, where did you go?" Big Potato asked Sangou very gossipingly.

"You have the ability to go out and fool around by yourself, what's the matter with the three dogs, the three dogs went to the cow's house in the morning, isn't it the three dogs?" , Lao Li Tou knew why Sangou borrowed money from him, and he was also kind-hearted, so he said a word for Sangou.

"Yes, I went to Tou'er's house in the morning," Sangou said with a smile.

"Did you go buy something?" You can't go to someone's house empty-handed, especially the head, or your savior", fine hair explained to the three dogs uneasily.

"Don't worry about fine hair, the things must have been bought, but I don't have a lot of money on hand now, and all I bought are bargains, and it's okay to deceive the calf." Sangou is in a good mood.

"Want, want"

"This courtesy is secondary"

"Whether something is good or not is secondary, and etiquette can be done when it arrives"

"If you make more money in the future, you will be grateful to the next cow"

Everyone was talking, and their hands were not idle, pouring wine and dividing the dishes and chopsticks. There are several guys who complain about how Sangou buys so many delicious things, I knew that I would eat less for lunch, but I had to prop up my belly for lunch.

"To say that your life of labor is your life of labor, and that a dog cannot wear a grain of rice (there is no life of happiness)"

"You enjoy a blessed life, so why do you eat a pot with us and sleep on a bed?"

Everyone was fighting, and they were not idle when eating, Lao Li Tou took the wine, stood up, cleared his throat, and said: "Come on, come on, everyone will serve it, let's count this as the three dogs' entry wine, okay?" ”

"Good"

"This proposal is good"

"Okay, just dry this glass of wine in one gulp", Lao Li took a sip of the wine in the glass, turned the glass over, and lit up the bottom of the empty glass.

Everyone drank the wine in the glass, and the three dogs were busy beckoning everyone to eat, don't drink as much as you want, the wine is there, I'll fight again when it's gone, to ensure that everyone has a good drink.

……

Early the next morning, Niu Gu came to take everyone to load the goods, and fulfilled the wish of the horned flea, and this time the return trip was to pick up the socks, which filled the entire basket, and it was not very heavy.

Radish knew that he was going to pick up the goods back to the county this morning, so he returned to the inn early, and after eating breakfast with everyone, he picked up the empty basket to load the goods.

The three dogs didn't want to eat white food, so they insisted on picking, so Niu Gu gave the three dogs less loads; Everyone wrapped the goods with oilcloth, and set off, and the shipping yard will not charge centigold, just check.

Niu Gu threw a few packs of paper cigarettes to the secretary inspector (Lika's staff), they were all big acquaintances, and the relationship was so good, they didn't bother to check the goods, and waved their hands to let them go.

Everyone carried the socks back the same way, the socks were indeed introduced from the foreign country at the earliest, most of the socks worn in the past were socks made of coarse cloth, coarse socks are not very breathable, not too warm, and the comfort is not to mention.

Rich people will wear cotton socks, and in summer even socks made of silk, which are cool and silky; In fact, silk is not very suitable for making socks, and after the feet are sweaty, they are easy to slip, wrinkle, and uncomfortable to wear. But rich families generally don't do heavy work, rarely sweat, and it's fine.

Whether it was cotton or coarse cloth socks, they were all made by hand at that time, and they all had a disadvantage, that is, they were easy to clump, and the sock cloth would wrinkle together after sweating; Rich people don't sweat much, and cotton socks are changed every day, so there is no problem.

Poor families generally wear coarse cloth socks, and within half a day, they will sweat and wrinkle and clump, and if they don't wash it for a day, they will stink, and they walk in clothes, and the soles of their feet are like stepping on a piece of mud, which is very uncomfortable.

Later, knitted socks appeared, breathable, comfortable, warm, there are quite a lot of colors and styles, and the price is not very expensive, from a few copper plates to a few small oceans, so many people with a little money will buy socks to wear.

There are more people who wear it, and the supply exceeds demand, because the market is good, the profit is high, close to the cotton-producing areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, many people buy their own machines to make cotton socks, undershirts, underwear, sweaters, woolen hats, gloves, scarves and other knitwear.

Especially the hosiery machine, there is a simple hand-cranked hosiery machine, the operation and maintenance are very simple and economical, buy it to weave it yourself at home, and a day can weave dozens of pairs of socks.

Some people still carry a hand-looting socks machine on their backs, and go directly to the door to customize socks according to their foot size, or repair worn socks; The scale of doing it at home has gradually grown, and more than one or twenty machines can be regarded as a hosiery factory.

Later, with more advanced electric hosiery machines, the production speed was faster, plus other knitting machines, so a lot of knitting factories were opened in Jiangsu and Zhejiang; The socks and clothes and other knitwear are sold all over the country, and the name of the socks continues to be collectively referred to as "foreign socks".

As for the more advanced nylon socks, it was after the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), and it was not until 1938 that the United States DuPont invented nylon, and the first batch of nylon socks was put on the market in the same year, and it will be a little later to the Chinese market.

At that time, Jiangxi was mainly producing grain, tea, tungsten ore, etc., and there were tea oil, summer cloth, straw paper, wood and bamboo in northeast Jiangxi, but cotton was rarely planted, and it was not a cotton-producing area.

Therefore, these socks and clothes are all transported from Zhejiang and transported to the border through Quzhou in western Zhejiang; There are shippers who specialize in this kind of business, and there are also merchants who carry their own goods and sell them in the streets and alleys.
