Cutting goose down with scissors is like a haircut, there will be no pain, and with no desire to appease the geese, the process of collecting goose down is smooth.

Finally, it was weighed in a ** bag, and there were a total of 12 catties of goose down, and after subsequent treatment to remove impurities, etc., it was estimated that there could be about 10 catties.

According to her "flat push" method, an average goose can collect one or two goose downs.

The goose down was successfully collected, but the chest and abdomen of the goose were neatly brushed, and it looked like it was going to the alley on the side of the street, and it took five yuan to cut a simple and rough haircut with a clipper, which was very conspicuous.

However, the village chief has always only sat at home every day and counted how much he made from pairs of yolk eggs, and he would not come to Yantang to inspect, and Li Xingwang would not talk much, so he didn't have to worry about it.

The goose down looks white, but it is actually very dirty, and there are many bacteria.

Since it is to be sewn in clothes or quilts for a long time and in contact with people, it must be cleaned.

Her plan is to spend the next few days concentrating on the goose down she has collected.

Nowadays, there is no laundry detergent or other items specifically used to clean clothes, but fortunately, there is a soap horn, a natural artifact that does not hurt your hands.

The disadvantage of soaphorn is that it needs to be boiled for several hours before using it to get viscous soaphorn water.

She works in the weir pond on weekdays, and she can keep an eye on the firewood in the stove, and a few hours is nothing.

When the soap is finished, remove the soap from the pot and leave the soap water.

Then place the goose down in soaphorn water and start kneading and kneading the goose down, which can not only clean the goose down, but also squeeze out the air in the goose down to improve the effect of warmth.

After washing it several times, the water was no longer muddy, so it was spread in a fine net and placed on a bluestone slab to dry.

Although the goose down is only about ten catties, it is a large mass, and it took two whole days to clean it all.

Returning to the table and sitting down to drink a saliva to rest, suddenly she felt a finch hovering overhead, and looked up, who else could it be.

glanced at Li Xingwang, who was squatting on the side of the weir pond and looking at the geese in a daze, and didn't pay attention to her.

Whispered, "Got news?" ”

In the past few days, Wu Xian has already touched the things in the village.

Whose daughter-in-law couldn't bear the loneliness and went to the bedside of Lao Wang's house, there was a beautiful sound in those groves at night, and he was a clear door.

Every day is nothing more than a few more short things in the parents, and it can't arouse his interest in the slightest.

So I looked forward to the stars and the moon at the head of the village, and finally looked forward to the people of the Ruan family!

Nodding solemnly, the bird's head fluttered twice, and slid towards the Su family with two flaps, and he couldn't miss this wonderful excitement.

Su Baiya also followed, and then this opportunity was just right to completely separate the relationship with the Su family.

...

Two carriages stopped outside the Su family's courtyard.

A middle-aged man dressed in silk was the first to get out of the carriage, followed by several lean men.

The man at the head pointed to the courtyard gate: "Steward Ruan, this is the Su family." ”

Steward Ruan twisted a handful of jet-black beard under his chin and nodded: "I want to see how thick this Su family is, waiting outside, and calling you to come in again." ”

Then he knocked at the door himself.

Su Dazhuang opened the door, poked his head out and looked out: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Steward Ruan patted the folding fan in his hand: "I'm looking for Miss Su." ”

Grandma Su, who was washing vegetables in the yard, heard this, and her intuition told her that it was someone from the Ruan family, and while wiping the water on her hands with her clothes, she shouted: "Ya'er is out, please come in and do it." ”

Steward Ruan walked into the courtyard alone, opened the fan and shook it gently: "Are you Miss Su's grandmother?" ”

"I am," Grandma Su looked puzzled, "Are you?" ”

Steward Ruan's face was expressionless: "It's okay to call me Steward Ruan, Miss Su is not at home?" ”

When the people of the Su family in the courtyard heard this, they all looked outside the courtyard, only to see two carriages parked.

Why are there two carriages, after a little thought, there is a result, isn't it here to propose?

Because the two carriages can just sit on one person and the other for the bridal gift, looking at the battle, it must have brought a lot of dowry.

Grandpa Su immediately got up from the rocking chair and invited Steward Ruan to sit down, while saying, "That girl is busy working in the field, just tell me if Steward Ruan has something." ”

Grandma Su also stepped on the end of the sentence and added: "Anything can do, we can call the shots." ”

Although Su Baiya is no longer from the Su family, in her opinion, Su Baiya's body has the blood of the Su family, and the dowry should belong to her.

And the dowry is in her hands, and no one wants to take it.

"I really have a matter," Steward Ruan said slowly, "Miss Su's marriage to my son-in-law seems to be well known in your village?" ”

Grandma Su had some doubts in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything wrong with this?" Anyway, sooner or later, we have to get married, and one more person knows, and there is one more blessing. ”

She still hasn't said a word, and she can still receive an extra gift.

In the past two days, she wandered around the village, and occasionally heard someone say that so-and-so met someone from a neighboring village who came to inquire about this marriage.

There are more people who want to send blessings.

She was still waiting for the moment when she received the gift and her hand went soft.

Steward Ruan curled the corners of his mouth and sneered twice: "That's right, what do you think of twenty taels?" ”

"Twenty taels?" Everyone in the Su family was shocked, only thinking that it was a dowry of twenty taels.

They can't even think of this "sky-high" dowry! This Ruan family is really generous, but the dowry is directly given twenty taels.

Twenty taels has far exceeded the expectations of everyone in the Su family! Not even the desire to bargain.

"Ya'er is a good girl, your son-in-law will definitely not lose money if he marries twenty taels." Grandma Su's face was wrinkled and smiling.

After speaking, he waited to collect the money.

With a vague smile on the corner of Steward Ruan's mouth, he was still shaking his fan slightly, without the slightest intention of giving money.

There was a brief silence in the courtyard.

Su Jingshan stood aside with burning eyes, if he had twenty taels, why couldn't he go to the town to ask a famous teacher for guidance.

Even if you use money, you can pile yourself up on the child, attack the show, and raise people is just around the corner!

I couldn't wait to take down the twenty taels of silver: "Steward Ruan, the people who like me to take my niece are much older, and I give a dowry, I feel that I can choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to get married as soon as possible." ”

Ruan's face became gloomy little by little: "You really daydream, what kind of dowry, twenty taels of silver are you who paid me to the Ruan family, that girl..."

He swallowed the second half of his words back, and the restaurant was still counting on fruits and mushrooms, and he couldn't be offended.

"In-laws... Ruan Steward don't be joking, Ruan Gongzi and my girl are in love, I also want the two of them to get married as soon as possible, and you can choose the date as soon as the dowry is given" Grandma Su smiled.

Steward Ruan slapped the table angrily: "Come in." ”

Nearly ten men walked into the courtyard and waited for them.

"It's... This" Grandpa Su was confused, "What does this mean?" ”

Steward Ruan's gloomy gaze glanced at the people of the Su family who had not yet returned to their senses, and then mocked:

"When did my son-in-law say that he would marry your girl, who heard it? I see that you are crazy about money, you want to climb the big tree of the Ruan family, and you don't pee and look in the mirror to see how many catties and taels you have. Spreading rumors has mistaken my son-in-law's reputation, and twenty taels of silver is to compensate my son-in-law, otherwise we will not be polite. ”

Grandma Su's mood at the moment is like falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it is still a good happy event, and the hand of receiving the gift is weak, and it will be a compensation of twenty taels! Anxious to fidget:

"There must be a misunderstanding between Ruan Steward here, Ruan Gongzi really likes my girl, last time I heard Su Baiya say it herself, Ruan Gongzi took money for her to use, bought a lot of meat and rice, how could he give her money if she didn't like it?"
