"Phew", the horses pulling the carriage were reined in, and let out a low neigh, and the wheels of several carriages made a screeching sound one after another.

"Oh, you're selling sheep felt, aren't you?"

"How did you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

As soon as Zhiwen's carriage stood at the entrance of a village, a group of aunts and aunts surrounded them, and they still had some complaints in their mouths, and they couldn't help but pull up the sheep felt of the refugees to see, many refugees made a lot of money and food, and they also bought sheep felt to make clothes.

A few bold people wanted to rush to the carriage to take a closer look, but they were blocked by Xiaolin and Dacheng with people, and saw that these children were smiling and had weapons in their hands, so they left in a huff.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, aunts, you go home and stay for a while, we will have someone enter the village in a while, and the delivery door will be much more convenient than you buying it here." Li Zhi hurriedly jumped out and shouted loudly, in fact, the people who entered the village had not yet settled, and the goods had not yet been sent to them.

No one expected that the sheep felt market was so hot, and they all came to the entrance of the village to wait for them, this is the first time, how to drop it before to go into the village to shout a few times.

When the refugees walked towards the village one after another with sheep felt, Zhiwen whispered a few words to Ma Er, and Ma Er, who had gone around outside and only came back this morning, nodded, resisted a roll of sheep felt, and also entered the village.

The sheep felt sold so well, it was really unexpected by Zhiwen, and today the village seemed to know that they were coming, and it was not normal to wait at the entrance of the village early, so let Ma Er go in and find out, what was going on.

Before dinner, Ma Er came back empty-handed, and as soon as he saw Zhiwen, he took out his blanket and made a gesture to hand over the silver taels obtained from the sale of sheep felt.

"Alright, put it away, count your bounty this time." Zhiwen scolded with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's just a few villages we passed by before, and there was a little daughter-in-law who returned to her mother's house, so she spread the news that our sheep felt was good and cheap." Ma Er saw that Zhiwen did not accept the blanket, and he was very happy in his heart, and put it back in his arms.

"Then there's no need to wait for us at the entrance of the village, why are they so anxious to want sheep felt?"

"Xiaozhi, don't you know, it's going to snow, and all the men in this area have to go to work, making felt clothes and pants to survive the winter."

"Out of work? It's cold, what kind of work? Zhiwen was very puzzled, generally farmers in the north stay in the house in winter, commonly known as cat winter.

"Not far from the past, it is Puzhou, Hedong, I heard that there is a salt lake, and they all went there to work."

"Salt Lake? Salt? Isn't that right, what kind of salt is it in the winter? Zhiwen was even more puzzled, judging by common sense, can this ice and snow be able to dry salt.

"Hehe, Xiaozhi, I thought so according to you at first, and I was laughed at by the villagers. Their salt lake is a treasure, and it can dry salt at the turn of spring and summer.

In winter, when the north wind blows and the snow freezes, the miscanthus can be frozen out of the lakes that originally produced bitter salt. Salt in the spring, salt in the winter, people here work twice a year, and they can earn a lot of money. ”

Ma Er told Zhiwen what he had just inquired about, and his face was full of envy.

What's that? Mirabilite! Hearing these two words, Zhiwen was full of excitement, and instantly became excited, he was really sleepy, someone handed him a pillow, and he was worried about where to get a large amount of manganese to degrease the wool.

But miscanthus is a traditional Chinese medicine, the price is definitely not cheap, and the amount in the pharmacy is not much, which is difficult to meet his needs.

Unexpectedly, this time I ran to the origin of raw materials.

Ma Erwu on the side chattered to himself: "We don't have to say anything about sheep felt, it's a lot cheaper than outside, and they all want to buy more to go back, so that they can make clothes for men to work." ”

Zhiwen still had the heart to listen to him at this time, and only thought about manganese.

"Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi!" After Ma Er finished speaking, he saw that Zhiwen was still stunned, "Is there anything else?" I'll leave if it's okay. ”

"Huh? You're not eating with us? ”

"No, find a few brothers in the village to have a drink or two." Ma Er replied, Zhiwen their food tasted really good, but there was no wine to drink, but it was a pity that they took advantage of the fact that they sold sheep felt today and some silver money to open a meat restaurant.

This village is good, there is a small wine shop, there is a salt lake is good, such a heavy drought, it seems that it has not been affected much.

During the dinner time, Zhiwen noticed that everyone's eyes glanced at him and Baqian, as well as Dr. Sun from time to time, and looked down at his sweater.

Now there are only three sweaters knitted, and Baqian knitted one for his father, which is decent and fits, and he and Zhiwen are wearing the results of Xiaoying Niang and Nannan, the three girls, considering that they have to grow up, the weaving is a little big, and the craftsmanship is not bad, similar to that of eight thousand.

Even so, it is enough to make people envious, light, warm and breathable, and there is no smell, everyone is greedy, and they all want to wear such a dress.

"Don't worry, everyone," Zhiwen said with a smile, "I promise to wear this sweater." ”

Eight thousand stabbed him on the side, "Zhiwen, there's not so much wool." ”

"Soon after." Zhiwen laughed in a low voice, it was a confidential matter, and there were many people around, so it was inconvenient to tell the good news to Baqian.

Eight thousand looked at Zhiwen, thought about his ability, and believed eighty percent in his heart, bowed his head to eat, and stopped talking.

"Aunt Song, why don't you and the girls knit the sweater they are wearing first?" Seeing that Xiaoying's eyes were greedy, Zhiwen took the initiative to ask.

"No, no, Xiaozhi." Xiao Yingniang hurriedly shook her head, although the sheepskin jacket was weak, she was very satisfied, she knew that there was not much special wool, but it was not enough for them and those orphans.

Zhiwen knew that everyone was greedy, but they were afraid that he would be embarrassed.

"Such a good dress, let's sell it for money." Xiao Yingniang said again that several families have taken over the task, received wool, and learned to spin and weave clothes with her, and I think that in a few days, the ready-to-wear will be handed back.

Zhiwen shook his head slightly, "I'm not busy selling sweaters first." "Just kidding, the most basic sheep felt has not been dumped yet, and now I will take the sweater and sell it, wouldn't I want to smash the sheep felt in my own hands, and besides, whether the people in these villages can accept the sweater, whether they can afford it, is not sure.

"And what are they going to do with the sweaters they knit back?" Li Zhi, who is the chief housekeeper, asked.

Zhiwen secretly calculated in his heart, if all the orphans were counted, those wools would obviously not be enough for everyone, but if only a dozen of them were counted, it would be more than enough.

"Let's wear it first, if we get to Puzhou, we will try the water and see if we can sell it."

"Aunt Song, after knitting the sweater, let's wear it for our own family first, don't worry about the rest." Zhiwen comforted Xiao Yingniang again, those orphans are now wearing bare leather clothes as leather armor, which can also keep warm.

When it was colder, I thought that I had already arrived in Puzhou, and as long as I could get miscanthus salt, I would be able to produce it in large quantities.
