Chapter 42: Helping Aberi

"Kunnu, you take your fellow villagers to the back mountain to find some wood, I can use it." Seeing that Kunnu is tall and tall, this pestle is also blocking them from doing things here, so it is better to arrange for them to go to the back mountain, cut a few logs, or go directly to buy some, she remembers that in ancient times, there was also a ban on logging, and I don't know if there are such rules in Daqiguan Mountain.

"It's just a large-scale tree cutting, and it has to be approved by the government, I heard that a tree pays taxes and silver, half a tael of silver, and the slave calculates, it is better to go directly to the timber shop to buy a car for less than half a tael of silver." Kunnu saw that Lin Qianxun was at a loss, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"Since that's the case, do as you say, since you want to buy it, it's better to buy what you need together, Kunnu in addition to wood, when you come back by the way, buy some bamboo baskets, baskets, this is silver." Lin Qianxun stopped the movement in his hand, and then spoke, not forgetting to let Qiaoya go to get the money, now it seems that making money is imminent.

"You go now." After speaking, he took the other two companions, and went out in Qiaoya's thousands of instructions.

"If the girl has something to do, we will do it." Cuicui doesn't look at the usual food, but her brain is flexible, she looked at Lin Qianxun with a somewhat inexplicable expression, and said

"Okay, you guys get busy first, I'll go find Buck." After saying that, he got up and went inside.

The three little girls looked at their master's prosperous appearance, and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile, because of this, they were more relaxed than others.

Lin Qianxun went back to the house to wash his hands, and then took out his designated business plan and improved recipes and went to the next room.

The sound of children reading aloud came from the window from time to time, and Lin Qianxun walked to the day study house, and peeked openly in front of the sleeping room at night.

Buck has a typical Caucasian appearance, three-dimensional facial features, deep contours, especially a high nose bridge, fair skin, not short, and slightly bent hair, but his Chinese language and Chinese literary talent are admirable.

He saw Lin Qianxun standing at the door and looked inside, so he put down the book.

"You continue to study class, and Mr. will come when he goes." The voice can't be heard by a foreigner, probably because he has lived in Daqi since he was a child

The children cherish the hard-won opportunity to read, so no matter where the husband is from, or how qualified he is, it will not affect their enthusiasm for reading, so they listen to the serious answers.

"Students understand."

Buck nodded, and soon came out.

"What's the girl's business with?" The Buck man was tall and long-legged, and stared at Lin Qianxun with a smile on his face with a pair of light blue eyes.

"It's still so polite, I'm looking for you to help, your Chinese characters are really good, and I'm not good at calligraphy, so I'm looking for you, just to ask you to help me transcribe two things, see if you have time?" Lin Qianxun watched Buck's light blue pupils shrink, and when a faint embarrassment flowed in the air, she hurriedly handed over the paper.

Buck raised his head slightly, and then unfolded it to take a look, he didn't know what Lin Qianxun used to write, the font was regular, it was this font with few arms and legs, which made him a little puzzled.

"What do you mean, girl, that I will transcribe the text of the Great Revelation for you?" Buck spoke.

"Smart, the font of my hometown, after thousands of years of evolution, is the simplified Chinese character I write now, and the big use is the traditional Chinese created by Daqi, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble for the other party, I thought that you would help me transcribe it into traditional Chinese, and it would not take up the children's class time, just give it to me tomorrow morning, because I rely on these two pieces of paper to earn living expenses for us, so Buck bothers you to move your fingers." Lin Qianxun said with a smile.

"The girl is really frustrated, I will bring whatever I have in the future, but if I can help, I will definitely help, after all, we are a family." Buck is a scholar, naturally has the arrogance of a scholar, Lin Qianxun, as the head of the family, treats him and the children here, plus the slaves at home with the same courtesy, and he is not a person who does not know good and bad, so he naturally wants to repay her sincerity with sincerity.

"Or Buck can talk, then you go to class, I have to go out, what do you want to eat at night, just tell Lan Ya and them, I'll go." Lin Qianxun glanced at the children in the classroom who were studying seriously, and then said something to Buck, and before he could speak, he jumped down the steps like the wind, and then disappeared at the gate. He only caught a glimpse of the red corner.

Buck smiled, then solemnly brushed the paper away, and then returned to class again.

Lin Qianxun walked out of the yard and went straight to the tailor's shop last time.

Abe Li took such a big order from Lin Qianxun, the family has been rich recently, and because of Lin Qianxun, her business in the store has been much better, and she is entertaining the two female dependents, so she saw Lin Qianxun wearing a peony gauze skirt like a gust of wind into the shop, and then her cheerful laughter came.

"Abe, are you busy?"

The two ladies turned around in unison, and saw that the peony-colored gauze skirt had a beautiful arc due to the movement of the master, and then a fair-skinned and heroic woman was revealed, and the lipstick on her lips was like a flame, and it crashed into their eyes. The hook's heart was tickling, and an inexplicable feeling hit the root of the tongue, and in the blank look, it slowly disappeared into the chest.

"It turned out to be Miss Lin, what kind of wind blew you into my shop today, sit down, I'll greet these two guests first." Abe Li likes red very much, although her complexion is not as fair as Lin Qianhiro's, but her slightly wheat complexion is not inferior to Lin Qianhiro at all, especially when she speaks, the two are on par.

"You get busy first, I'll wait." Lin Qianxun smiled at the two young women, and then looked at the shop, which seemed to be bigger than the last time he came, and there were more fabrics.

But Daqi has not yet planted cotton, so it is generally silk, Luo, silk, satin, brocade, and Juan, but ordinary people can only buy linen clothes.

When Lin Qianxun was more confused, the system began to be popularized again.

In ancient times, silk and satin were commonly used in clothing, and these were large varieties.

First of all, take the silk as an example, the use of twill tissue or twill as the bottom of the jacquard organization, mixed with other tissues made of floral fabric, the earliest silk surface presents a stacked mountain slope, according to the raw materials are divided into pure mulberry silk fabrics, synthetic fabrics and interwoven products, Su silk is a silk fabric made of pure mulberry silk as raw materials, common silk fabric varieties are flower silk silk, Guangling, interwoven silk, Ni cotton silk, etc., manifested in the texture of light and thin, soft, used for mounting, can be made of four seasons clothing. It is also directly called twill silk on the market.

The second Luo category, Luo class is all or partially made of strip-shaped silk fabric twisted through the Luo organization, and the silk is used to weave hair to make the surface of the fabric have a yarn hollow eye, which is divided into horizontal Luo and straight Luo. The traditional variety Hangluo is Hengluo. The appearance is manifested in the light texture, the silk is slender, the warp threads are intertwined with each other and are pepper hole-shaped, the texture is tight, strong, the yarn holes are ventilated, cool, comfortable to wear, cool, suitable for making summer clothing, embroidery blanks and ornaments, it is pure silk fabric.

The third is silk, that is, the cloth that the upper class officials and nobles like, the symbol of status, is the most important category of silk fabrics, refers to the use of basic organization or mixed change organization or no other silk fabric characteristics, tight texture of silk fabric, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, silk has become a general name for silk fabrics, and now it is customary to associate silk with satin effect as a general term for silk fabrics - satin, intuitive distinction is mainly distinguished from the color and feel of the finished product, pure mulberry silk texture is silky, and the reflected light is softer. Silk is a medium-thick silk fabric, of which the lighter varieties can be used as shirts and skirts, and the heavier varieties can be used as coats and trousers.

The fourth is satin, which is a variety of floral and plain silk fabrics that use satin weaves. Satin fabrics are commonly known as satin, and there are many varieties. In the satin weave, only one type of warp and weft is covered on the surface in the form of floating elongation, and the other evenly distributed individual tissue points are covered. As a result, the surface of the fabric is smooth and shiny. Warp float length covered with surface called warp satin; The weft float length is covered with weft satin on the surface. Satin fabric is the most complex technology, the most colorful fabric appearance, and the most advanced technology in silk products. It is characterized by smooth and bright, soft texture and rich color, fine texture, we commonly have soft satin, plain soft satin, brocade and ancient satin, etc., personal favorite ancient satin, Yonghua magnificent, with national style and hometown color, can be made cheongsam, quilt, cotton jacket and so on.

The fifth is brocade, which refers to the silk fabric with a variety of color patterns, which refers to the color silk fabrics with patterns or calligraphy and paintings, and now refers to the silk fabrics with embroidery, the production process of brocade is high, and the weaving is difficult, so it is the most valuable fabric in ancient times, this fabric has two kinds of warp and weft flowers, also called warp brocade and weft brocade. When it comes to Nanjing Yunjin, Guangxi Zhuangjin, Suzhou Song Jin, and Chengdu Shu Jin, these four famous brocades should be distinguished.

The sixth silk category, silk In ancient times, silk silk can refer to silk in general. However, in the modern textile industry, silk refers specifically to silk staple fibers, not filaments. Silk fabric is a plain weave organization, the texture is light and thin, tough and crisp and flat, the common ones are Tianxiang silk, sieve silk, etc., which can be used for women's clothing, children's clothing, etc., but compared with other finished products, the texture of silk is more light and thin, easy to fluff, and should not be washed more.

After such an introduction by the system, Lin Qianxun seems to understand a little, he used to worry about what the ancients wore, who wants people to wear it, we still pay attention to it, is this a typical emperor who is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

She covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

At this moment, Abe Ri, who was busy at the end of the day, greeted him with a smile.

"Miss Lin is here today?"

"Yes, can you show me your grapes, do you have a vineyard?" Lin Qianxun didn't want to have a long greeting, because the greeting was done for people who were not familiar with it, and she and Abe Li had already met, and they would still cooperate for a long time in the future, so many twists and turns were too tiring.

"I see, wait, I'll let my sister come to see the shop." After Abe Li finished speaking, he pulled Lin Qianxun to the shop, walked through the long hallway, and tightened the backyard.

Don't look at the small front hall, but there is a lot in the inner courtyard, more than two hundred square meters of yard, in addition to the simple farm tools, the rest is firewood, and clothes to dry, Abe pulled Lin Qianxun, until he walked to the yard, and then shouted into the house.

"Abe, you go to the front to see the shop, and I'll take Miss Lin to the vineyard at home to have a look."

"Here we are." A crisp female voice remembered.

Then, as soon as the two of them raised their feet and walked out, they saw a girl wearing red floral satin running down from the second floor, accompanied by the sound of clanging footsteps.

Lin Qianxun only saw the appearance similar to Abeli, and then went out through the back door in Abeli's pulling, thinking that there was a wide dirt road for everyone to walk behind.

In addition to the common wheat and sorghum, there are only rows of green and red grapes hanging on the shelves.

"In addition to these, where is the cloud cotton you grow?" Lin Qianxun is actually the first time to contact the real land, as for the previous pulling weeds and hoeing in the barracks, fertilizing is to drive ducks to the shelves.

"In the back, I took Miss Lin to see, this year my Abba is still quite worried about how to deal with these cloud cotton, who knows that the girl likes it, my Abba is happy to hear and doesn't know what to say, so I go to the field every day to take a turn, my Ah Weng, Ah Ma, is also busy in the field every day, I hope to have a good harvest this year." A smile flashed across Aberimai's face, and she took Lin Qianhiro's hand on the steaming land, shrinking.

The tip of the nose is the smell of green plants in Haowen, and next to him is a green dealer, looking at the land where there is no green grass at all, it means that this family is a hard-working person.

"In addition to selling and eating these grapes, how do you usually collect them?" Lin Qianxun was curious.

"My father will dry the excess, make raisins, and then sell them to the dried fruit shop, but although the money is higher than usual, it is time-consuming and laborious, and my father doesn't want to do this, so he usually takes advantage of the summer to sell it all quickly. In case the backlog breaks. Abe Li was a little worried about the sales of this grape, and besides, there are only a few people in Guanshan who can buy things after all.

"Don't worry, you add things so well, don't worry about selling, I'll give you a way to ensure that your things don't worry about selling, I originally wanted to buy your grapes to dry, it seems that I don't need to do it, you help me reserve a thousand catties, and whether it is dried to take advantage of the sweetest time of the grapes, take out a part of the boiled sugar, boil until the sugar color becomes browned, and then add all kinds of dried fruits to it, and wait for it to slowly solidify, as a sugar with sweetheart.

Another is to make a snack, called Saqima, with flour, oil, sugar, to make dough, then roll into the original slices, cut into finger thickness, wait for the oil temperature to fry the vermicelli until it becomes larger, scoop up and drain off the excess oil, and then put the fried vermicelli into a container and crush it, then add raisins and almond slices and mix well.

Finally, boil the syrup: put sugar, maltose and water in the pot, boil over low heat until the syrup can have a state of drawing, and then, pour the boiled syrup into the tank while it is hot and mix it fully as soon as possible, and then, put the mixed ingredients into a square mold to squeeze it tightly to make it shaped, and finally cut it into pieces (it is easier to cut it in the mold while it is hot, and take it out to cool) "These are two methods, but you need to try it yourself, before you are sure, less pilot, and when it is successful, take it to the dried fruit shop." , bargain with the boss, or take it to the restaurant tea shop, you can do it. Lin Qianxun searched for the methods he had seen, and said one or two to Abe.

Abe Li was about to fly with joy, she grabbed Lin Qianhiro's hand and said words of thanks incoherently.

"I really don't know how to thank you, it's so good. If my Abba knew, he would be happy. ”

"Raise your hands, you remember what you promised me, reserve raisins, and these days grapes are also sent home, I have many children, and I can't do without fruits when I grow my body" Lin Qianxun smiled calmly.

"I'll ask my brother to deliver it in a while, and he is also the pillar of the family." Abe Li smiled very happily and said while pulling away the sorghum of one person.

"Actually, I still have a lot of grape practices, such as making wine, making jams, and making canned food, grape drinks, etc., your grapes are not sold, and when my restaurant opens, I will take grapes from your house." Lin Qianxun followed behind Abe and said with a smile.

"Actually, my grapes are not sold, but there are still many neighbors who can't sell them." Abe was a little sad after being happy.

"How much?" Lin Qianxun asked.

"There are more than ten households, and a family has at least five acres, and many of them have broken down this year, and I feel distressed when I think about it." Abe stopped, looked at the grapevines in the distance, and said seriously.

"Let's send them all to the forest house, but Abe Li knows, you are a businessman, and I am also a businessman, the price of these things can't be too high, if it's too high, I can't eat it." Lin Qianxun has the heart to help them, but at the moment, her money still comes from Leng Chopfeng, in order to reduce some of the burden, she has to make it clear to Abe Li that she can help as much as she can.

"I understand." Abe pulled Lin Chihiro's hand.

Then the two of them continued to walk forward first, and after a lot of hardship, even when they reached the cotton planting area.

At first glance, cotton is blooming, but in fact, the flowers of cotton change color: when cotton grows to six or seven leaves, flower buds appear, and the flower buds are surrounded by three bracts, which is very beautiful. After the cotton buds, after a considerable period of time, its interior gradually grows and develops into flowers, and soon the flowers open, and the flowers generally open in the early morning.

The most interesting thing is that after the flowers open, they change color several times, the first flowers are white, and soon, they gradually turn to light yellow, and by the afternoon they begin to turn pink or red, and by the next day they become more red, even purple, and finally the whole corolla becomes grayish-brown and falls off from the ovary, at which time the ovary begins to develop, gradually becomes larger, and becomes a cotton peach.

Because the flowers of cotton change color several times, and the flowers of each part of the cotton plant open at a later time, these flowers are still white, and those flowers have turned red and purple...... So it looks like there are several different colored flowers on the same cotton.

At the moment, the time is just right, the buds of cotton have just bulged, and it will take two or three months to pick them, looking at the flowers as white as snowflakes.

Lin Qianxun was very happy to shuttle in and out, during which he met Abeli's father and her Ah Weng and Ah Yu, the old couple was not too old, but because the ancients had too few types of diet, and there was no more time to maintain the day after tomorrow, they aged very fast When she looked at the two of them in their fifties as if they were seventy or eighty years old, she was slightly apologetic and more distressed.
