Chapter 308: The days are delicious
Knowing that Wu Guifang wanted to engage in aquaculture, Wu Hongsheng took the men of his family to the mountains to hunt as long as he had time.
There are several newborn daughters in the family, and the amount of food is relatively large. Eat at least seven or eight times a day.
Wu Guifang is old, and the milk on her body is not enough at all.
If you don't give them more meat and more meat to eat, they will only get less and less milk.
Wu Hongsheng took more than 10 men and went hunting, and the others who stayed at home every day continued to do what they had been doing.
That is, the continuous repair of the wall.
On top of that, they're quietly digging the cellar.
This cellar is not easy to repair.
If the cellar is not repaired well, as long as it rains, the cellar will immediately become a big puddle.
Just to repair this cellar, Wu Hongsheng also drew a lot of drawings.
Fortunately, Wu Hongsheng chose to build a house in this place, which is a large soil slope with slightly higher terrain. On the back side of this dirt slope is actually a very large mountain.
Of course, the mountain is still not steep. And, it's barely a safe haven.
If you dig a cellar on a dirt slope, it is relatively safe. In addition, if the waterproof measures are done well, even if it rains heavily outside, there should be no water seepage inside.
Wu Hongsheng likes to be just in case, though.
When he first planned the drawings, he thought about how to drain the water in advance.
Vents are also needed in the cellar.
Therefore, after Wu Hongsheng changed the plan many times, he took the men in the family to dig the pit quietly every day.
Wu Hongsheng did not waste the excavated soil.
Directly mix gravel blocks, bush branches, river sediment into a ball, and build several small chicken pens.
There are too many women in the family.
Their family goes hunting in the mountains every day, and there is no way for all the women to eat delicious chicken.
In addition, Wu Guifang always thinks about making egg custard every day.
Wu Hongsheng felt that the family still had to raise a few more chickens and ducks as before.
If the family has a big house, a wall, a cellar, pigs, chickens and ducks. This kind of farm life can be regarded as having a good time.
When Wu Hongsheng was busy outside every day, Wu Guifang took the women and children at home to make a few more pairs of shoes.
Ancient shoes and modern shoes are completely different concepts.
Ancient shoes were all handmade.
Only officials, businessmen, and wealthy and powerful people can afford to wear mille-feuille shoes.
Those mille-feuille shoes of different colors, both men and women, Wu Guifang had seen before.
Like officials, whether they go to the court or are with their colleagues, the black mille-feuille shoes they wear are basically 8 centimeters high.
Like the mille-feuille shoes worn by the emperor, they are almost 10 centimeters tall.
Wu Guifang once went to the Palace Museum and saw with his own eyes the pairs of dragon boots with thousand-layer soles worn by Emperor Qianlong.
Those shoes are much taller than the high heels that some women wear today.
Wu Guifang heard that after a man wears such high boots, and then wears a decent court dress, he will look particularly tall and mighty, and his aura will be magnificent.
Some of the shorter boys, as long as they wear shoes with thousand-layer soles, they are basically seven-foot men and eight-foot men.
Of course, Wu Guifang actually knows why rich and powerful people in ancient times liked to wear mille-feuille shoes.
Because these mille-feuille shoes are made by those women, every stitch and thread.
Wang Jinlian can make mille-feuille shoes.
She said, these mille-feuille shoes must be the kind of old cloth, sewn up stitch by stitch. After the two pieces of old cloth are completely sewn together, without the slightest gap, add the old cloth to this top.
These scraps of old cloth, layer by layer, are superimposed, and then they are constantly compacted and pressed with dense needles and threads.
Finally, the needle cannot be pierced and the water cannot be soaked. Such a pair of shoes with mille-feuille soles is only half done.
The other half of the mille-feuille shoes are sewn uppers.
There is a lot of attention to how to make this upper.
There are spring and autumn wearers.
There are cotton boots to wear in winter.
There are more summer wears.
It's a hot summer day. Wu Guifang, the women and children at home, all they made were cotton boots to wear in winter.
Therefore, the upper of this shoe must be sewn very thick, and it must be sewn very tightly.
In ancient times, making cotton boots worn by men was all hard work.
Many times, Wu Guifang felt that it was too hard for them to do such a thing.
However, even if there is a complaint, Wu Guifang can't say it.
Because the old shoes she had given them were basically worn out.
I don't know what's going on, Wu Guifang feels that the old shoes she collected as garbage, even after their family sewn and repaired, they are not durable.
Canvas shoes are fine.
The old canvas shoes are mainly broken soles, beaten feet, and not waterproof these problems.
And those old leather shoes, there are many more problems.
After wearing it on my feet, within a few days, the leather of the old leather shoes began to peel off continuously. Moreover, after a period of time, they degum and smell very bad.
Wu Guifang always feels that artificial leather is not durable at all for the working people who need to go to the fields and work in the mountains and forests every day.
It is no wonder that many peasants in modern society, since the fifties and sixties, have often worn liberation shoes and labor protection shoes.
Because of the humble liberation shoes, labor protection shoes, their quality is the bargain.
Wu Guifang likes to be lazy.
When she was making shoes, she had been pricked with needles more than 10 times in a row. Both hands were swollen, and the index finger of his right hand was grinding out of yellow calluses.
She really couldn't stand it, so she discussed it with other women in the family, "I have to admit that as I get older, my strength is getting smaller and smaller. ”
"I really can't do this job of tying shoes with mille-feuille soles. Let's divide the labor and work together, and I will do the work of the upper of these dozens of pairs of mille-feuille shoes alone. As for you, just tie this mille-feuille every day. ”
After saying this, Wu Guifang began to take the initiative to measure the height of the feet of everyone in the family.
I feel that the women in the family, except for Wang Jinlian, who is a size 42 big foot, the other women, the pictures are all 38 or 39 sizes.
Wu Guifang knew that she was the shortest.
As for her, she also has to wear a size 37.
The big cotton boots in winter are to be made a little bigger. A size 37 is 235 centimeters.
If the temperature in winter is too cold, she puts a pair of fluffy and particularly thick bottoms in the big cotton boots, which is also quite comfortable.
