"Girl, Miss Wang and Miss Fang are here." On this day, Lin Wan had just finished Mama Bai's etiquette class, and was listening to Mama Bai talk about the gossip between the families in the capital, when she saw Dongxue coming in a hurry.

Miss Wang is Wang Siqi, Miss Fang is Fang Yuanyuan, since Ye Zhan and Ye Shen have become students of Sanyuan Academy, the degree of heat between these two girls and Lin Wan can only be expressed in Qian Feifei's words with the words "leaps and bounds".

Because the two sides live in the front and back streets, the two places are very close to each other, and they are about the same age, so the two girls went to the Sanyuan back street to find Lin Wan every three or five times.

Qian Feifei didn't come often, he only came twice, but he met these two little girls both times, sticking to Lin Wan and saying the east and west.

In fact, the two little girls came to Lin Wan for nothing, that is, to talk about the food and clothing that the little girls were interested in, and then to gossip about which student in the Sanyuan Academy was the best-looking and which student had the best knowledge.

Of course, the two brothers of the Ye family were mentioned the most, and every time Lin Wan was basically an audience, it was rare for the two little girls to interject a sentence or two when they mentioned the knowledge of the two brothers, but it also made the two little girls deeply encouraged.

Since the little girl is here, even if Lin Wan is not so welcome, she can't really turn people away, she still has to cheer up and entertain guests, so she hurriedly saluted Mama Bai and said goodbye, and welcomed the two little girls who were chattering like birds into the house, so as not to disturb Mama Bai's tranquility.

Lin Wan only found out after coming to Qingzhou Mansion that this era does not seem to be as harsh on women as written in her previous life, at least in Qingzhou Mansion, there are very few families who require women to "not go out of the door and not step out", otherwise not to mention Qian Feifei, the daughter of the same acquaintance, is a small family like Wang Siqi and Fang Yuanyuan, and Jasper is afraid that it is not possible to come to the Sanyuan backstreet from time to time to find Lin Wan.

Today, the two little girls came to ask Lin Wan to go out shopping, and Lin Wan thought about it.

Time flies quickly, Ye Zhan and Ye Shen have been in Fucheng for almost a month, the weather is getting colder and colder, and Lin Wan knows that it won't be long before it snows.

Although Chen and Wu must have made winter clothes and winter shoes for several of them early, Lin Wan knew that these clothes, shoes and socks must be cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes made by rural people.

Although the conditions of the Ye family are good now, the ones used are definitely new cotton, and the warmth is no problem, but it looks a little clumsy when worn on the body, Lin Wan thought about going to the cloth village or grocery store to see if she could buy suitable skins, and make some cold-proof jackets or cloaks for a few brothers that are both cold-proof and not so bloated.

I don't know if there was any wool thread in this era, but if there were, it would be great to knit scarves, hats, gloves, sweaters, etc. for my brothers, but most of them were not.

If there is, even if it is expensive, Lin Wan plans to buy some back, anyway, she has silver in her hand, and there is a lot of it.

Father Ye was afraid that the children would have a hard time in Fucheng, so every time he returned to Houwu Village, he would give Lin Wan a sum of silver, and every few days, he would ask Jin Daman or Jin Xiaoman to send food and rice to Fucheng.

In this way, although there are eleven people in the small courtyard in the backstreet of Sanyuan, there are not many places where they really need to spend money, and now Lin Wan has saved three or four hundred taels of silver in his hand.

Lin Wan planned to choose some ordinary leather goods to make leather jackets for the three Ye Qing brothers, and then make two pairs of leather boots for each of them, so that even if it rained or snowed, they would not get frostbite because of wet shoes.

After walking around, there was no such thing as wool thread, and I poured it and bought a bunch of leathers.

It's just that when Lin Wan bought the leather back, she had to scratch her head.

She already knows how to make clothes, but the gap between this leather and the fabric is really not ordinarily large, and it is really very difficult to make the leather into the leather jacket and cloak she imagined to be with her current strength.

Dong Xue is four years older than Lin Wan, and she is already twelve years old this year, but even if she is stronger than Lin Wan, Lin Wan feels that it should be difficult to get Dong Xue to help make leather jackets.

Mama Bai heard that Lin Wan had bought a lot of skins and came back, so she came to see them fresh, but she saw Lin Wan in a daze at a pile of skins.

There are twenty pieces of this pile of skins, except for two black skins that don't slip away, I can't tell what kind of animal skins they are for a while, and the others are either fox skins or wolf skins, but wolf skins are the majority.

Mama Bai only glanced at it, and knew that neither fox skin nor wolf skin was a good product.

None of these few fox skins are solid colors, they are all miscellaneous fox skins, and Mama Bai, who has seen a lot of good goods in the palace, can't look down on it, and the only thing that makes Mama Bai feel that she can still see it is that the fur of these skins is quite thick.

But after Mama Bai asked Lin Wan how much money she had spent in total, she was really taken aback.

I thought that a little girl of Lin Wan's age would go to buy skins, and she might not know how to be slaughtered, but she didn't expect that Lin Wan not only didn't be slaughtered, but the silver taels she spent were even almost half lower than the price estimated by Mama Bai in her heart, and the two black skins were actually deerskins, and she didn't want Lin Wan to spend a penny, they were given to her by the hunter who sold the furs.

These two deer skins should have gone wrong in the process of nitration to be so ugly, and even the well-informed White Mama couldn't recognize what kind of animal it was at first, until she took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, she found that it was actually a deerskin.

Mama Bai grabbed the deerskin and pulled it hard, and found that the toughness was quite good.

This kind of deerskin is the best to use to make boots, Lin Wan has found a treasure!

"What is the girl going to do when she buys so many skins?" Mama Bai put down the deerskin in her hand, looked at Lin Wan who was in a daze with a smile and asked.

"Wanwan wants to use fox fur to make leather jackets or cloaks for her brothers, but Wanwan can't seem to do this job." Lin Wan raised the hand holding the needle and thread, and showed a wry smile to Mama Bai.

It wasn't until she tried to sew two pieces of fox or wolf skin together with a needle and thread that Lin Wan realized that she was taking it for granted.

Even if it is a thin fox skin, it is still a skin, how can it be sewn as easily as cloth?!

Mama Bai smiled, although she didn't get along with Lin Wan for a long time, she liked this smart, calm and self-contained little girl day by day.

"It's not difficult, just leave it to me." Mama Bai couldn't see Lin Wan embarrassed, so it was rare to take the initiative to take this job.

Lin Wan was surprised and delighted, but she was really embarrassed, after all, Mama Bai was not a slave, but her upbringing Mama, just teach her to learn etiquette.

"This ...... It's too troublesome, otherwise, I'd better send it to the processing workshop for processing. Lin Wan looked at the pile of skins and said with some uncertainty.

Let Mama Bai do such a thing, I always feel too unhappy in my heart.

Mama Bai patted Lin Wan with a smile and said, "Girl, don't worry, this matter is really not a difficult matter, but I just want to ask two people to make it." ”

Mama Bai doesn't want to take care of everything, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the sooner she does it, the better, and she will no longer be wronged to do the kind of all-night work like she did in the palace before, she has to pull Dongxue and Aunt Qian to do it together.

It is not difficult to make clothing from leather, whether it is a jacket or a cape, as long as you have mastered the knack of needlework.

Mama Bai carefully looked at these skins, discussed them with Lin Wan based on her own experience, and finally decided that the fox skin would be tightly for the three Ye Qing brothers, make a cloak for Ye Qing, and make a leather jacket for Ye Qing and Ye Zhan.

Because there are not many fox skins, there are probably not many remaining fox skins for the three Ye Qing brothers after making them, and according to Mama Bai's meaning, it is probably only enough to make two hand warmers.

The wolf skin is enough to make a jacket for Daddy Ye, the Chen family, Ye Damin and the Wu family.

Lin Wan didn't plan to make a leather jacket for herself, but she also wanted to make herself a pair of deerskin boots, which were the kind of boots that were both warm and convenient for going out on snowy days.

Mama Bai praised Lin Wan in her heart, she was a sensible and filial child, but she didn't show it at all.

Mama Bai is a vigorous and resolute person, since she decided to take over this matter, without saying a word, she picked up her skin with Dongxue and went back to her house, and then asked Dongxue to find Aunt Qian, and the three of them divided the work and started work on the same day.

Lin Wan wanted to help, but was blasted out by Mama Bai, no matter what Lin Wan's background is, in Mama Bai's eyes, she is the master.

If it weren't for Aunt Qian's cooking, which really couldn't be compared to Lin Wan, Mama Bai wouldn't agree to Lin Wan's three meals a day anyway!
