Chapter 263: Grain in the Cellar (3)

Mu Li, who returned to the room, opened the wardrobe and took out a big red cheesecloth from it.

Muslin cloth is thinner and suitable for summer, while cheesecloth is actually cotton cloth with flannel, which is thicker and used in autumn and winter.

Mu Li used to buy muslin to make clothes and quilts, in fact, she didn't want to buy cheesecloth, first, she didn't need it, second, it was too expensive, so she added a layer of velvet, the price almost doubled, muslin is one hundred and thirty wen, this coarse noodles cost two hundred, and it is expensive to die!

And she bought this big red cheesecloth because it was bitten by rats, and she didn't need this cheesecloth in summer, and it was still red, and very few people would buy such a bright color.

Therefore, under the combination of three reasons, the shopkeeper had to sell it at a reduced price, but the price reduction was the same as that of muslin, so very few people would sell it.

Because who would buy a piece of cloth that they don't need now and won't be able to use until months later, and it's not cheap.

Mu Li bought it because there was really no thick quilt at home, and when it rained, the night was very cold, Xiao Zhi and she were both afraid of cold, and when it rained, the two hugged each other to keep warm, and shivered together until dawn.

So this cheesecloth is for rainy days, and she is going to use it to make two quilts. Just as he was laying it out on the bed and gesturing, the acacia flower came in.

"Xiaoli, what are you doing?" As soon as Huaihua came in, she saw Mu Li cutting a big red cloth with scissors, and she was not only surprised.

When Huaihua's family came to the Mu family to borrow it, it was not just to take care of Mu Li and cook and clean, because the quilts in the Mu family were very shabby, but Mu Li's wardrobe had several pieces of cloth, thinking that Mu Li had told her before that she wanted to find a time to make a new quilt, so she took the initiative to take out the two pieces of cloth to make quilts, and made Xiaozhi and Xiaofeng, as well as Brother Mu and Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu.

She also saw this cloth in the closet, but because it was thicker cheesecloth, she didn't move.

"It's too cold on a rainy day, I want to cover it with a thicker quilt, you can also help me make it, you make a smaller one for Xiaofeng and Xiaozhi." Mu Li pointed to the rest of the fabric and said.

Huaihua couldn't cry or laugh, "Are you so afraid of the cold?" If so, what if winter comes? ”

"This is easy to do, when autumn comes, I will go to buy cotton, and then stuff cotton into these quilts to make a warm quilt, and when it is cold, I will make two quilts and fold the covers." Mu Li said, she is indeed afraid of the cold, probably because she has stayed in a cold place for a long time, leaving a shadow.

"I've served you, I really don't know how you spent the winter in the past if you're so afraid of the cold." Huaihua shook her head, took the fabric, made a gesture, and began to sew after threading the needle.

I have to say that this needlework is really not as good as the acacia flowers from primary school to adulthood, look at the dense thread, the sewing is not only fast, but also very tight.

"That's how it used to be." Mu Li said, from her memory, she knows that every time winter comes, if there is a lot of firewood at home, she will burn firewood to keep warm, if not, she and Xiaozhi hug each other to keep warm, and poor families spend their lives like this.

"Mu Li, let me tell you, when the heavy rain is over, you have to prepare a lot of cotton and cloth, this winter will be very sad."

While Mu Li was chatting with Huaihua, the sound of supper cream suddenly sounded.
