The lotus root is difficult to dig, and it is even more difficult to wash, and it takes two days to dig up an acre of lotus root.

Scattered the wages and asked them to help pick the lotus root to the villa.

The family's warehouse was full, and half of the lotus root was left in the open space, and Su Li instigated her to sell it.

Su Zhang said that the New Year is coming, so it is good to give it as a gift.

Su Lingyu didn't want to sell people, but there were a lot of lotus roots, and the warehouse at home couldn't fit them, so he could only divide half of them.

"Then send some to those close to you. It's okay to keep it as a New Year's gift. ”

"San'er, I'm going to deliver ginger soup, you go to the mountain to supervise the work." Su Chengqi said.

"Okay."

With the presence of the master's family, the craftsman does not dare to be lazy.

Because of the high terrain, afraid that the high place is not cold, Lingyu Pavilion has two and a half floors, and the top floor is an attic, which is used to hide things.

The wooden shopkeeper and his brother and the craftsmen quickly set up the shelves, and little by little they made the shelves into pavilions.

Su Lingyu found a blacksmith and got two pulleys, which were combined to reduce the craftsman's strength by half.

Su Lingyu looked at the drawings and looked at the shelves he was making now, if there was anything wrong, he had to correct it in time.

"Hum Hum"

Ngawang approached, Su Lingyu didn't have time to pay attention to it, and was still looking at the drawings.

At this time, Ngawang bumped into her, and she took the time to look down.

"What's wrong with you? If you are hungry, go back and look for kapok. ”

So Ngawang went away and went back to look for Kapok.

Su Lingyu glanced at it, but didn't find that there was anything else under Ah Wang's feet. That's what Ngawang wants to show her.

It's a pity she didn't find out.

When she went back, she saw Kapok and Xiao Wu lying on the side of the chicken coop, "Hatching chicks again?"

"Ngawang brought back a little tiger, sister, come and see."

Little Tiger?

It's really a little tiger.

But this little tiger is so pitiful.

It is so thin that there is only one skin left, and if you lie on the ground, it is a tiger carpet.

"The mother said that it may be the last time, killed the cub of the tiger. It didn't have anything to eat, so it followed the tigress's breath and found it here. ”

It's been a few days since the last accident. Can you starve a tiger cub like this?

"Have you had teeth? What did it eat? ”

"I have teeth, but I can't bite the meat, so I give it minced meat."

It's really extravagant, how many people can't eat meat, and they actually give it to meat tigers.

It's not bad to raise it and slaughter it and sell it, so let's raise it first.

"Remember to give cooked meat, not raw meat, because a tiger that eats raw meat will bite." Su Lingyu said.

"Okay."

People are okay, but the animals in the house are very resistant to the tigers, especially the donkeys.

The donkey uses its actions to show everyone how much it doesn't like the little tiger.

It kicks and heads the tiger to drive the tiger out.

But when he was full and had strength, the little tiger hid beside Ngawang and let Ngawang face the donkey.

So there was such a scene in the yard.

A donkey confronts a hound, two huge creatures, you are hostile to me, I am hostile to you.

"Sister, sister, Da Mao and Ah Wang are going to fight." Kapok ran to find someone.

Su Lingyu looked at it and said, "It's okay, I can't fight." ”

For tigers, the donkey is naturally afraid, so it does not want the tiger cubs to stay.

But this is what Ngawang picked up, and he has to protect the tiger cubs.

Su Lingyu used a plant of woad to lure away the donkey, and asked Kapok to take the tiger cub to the back.

"If you want to tame a tiger, you have to let it eat cooked meat, let it have more contact with people, and get a teether and braces for it. lest it bite people. ”

Su Lingyu reminded Kapok.

Kapok went out with the little tiger in his arms, "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Gui for help." ”

…………

After the autumn harvest, the city should be a little lively, but this year it is a little colder.

It's all because of the men in the family, who were arrested to work and couldn't go to the city to do casual work.

The women of the family take care of all the household chores, and they have to sew cotton clothes for the men at night.

This year's cotton is several dollars more expensive than in previous years, and many people are reluctant to start.

Compared with life, cotton clothes are naturally important to life.

The Zhu Gate of the General's Mansion is closed all the year round, and the people who come to visit the door enter and exit through the side door.

The sun didn't come out and handed over the post, and the sun was just west before he was arranged into the general's mansion.

It was not the general who saw it, but Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun had just gotten up from a nap, and her energy was insufficient, and she didn't give a smile when she saw Su Zhang.

"Mrs. Su is not far away, she must have something to say." The mother-in-law stepped forward to hand over the tea.

As for why Mrs. Sun is only meeting them now, there is no need to tell them.

"It's not a big deal, I thought I hadn't seen my wife for a long time, so I came to inquire. Madame is well? ”

"All the big and small things in this house are in the hands of my wife, but I don't have you to be idle."

Seeing that Su Zhang's didn't say anything, the mother-in-law immediately drove people away.

Mrs. Sun sat in front of the hall, resting with her head and closing her eyes, just listening, and not looking at Su Zhang.

Su Lingyu opened the burden around him, revealing a thick coat.

The maid waiting on the side, when she saw the gray, unsightly clothes, immediately showed a look of contempt.

This poor ghost wants to please his wife, and he can't use this ugly thing to embarrass people.

The rough maids are better dressed than this.

Such ignorant people, it is better to get out quickly.

also said that the Su family has a Beijing official, how can he take out his hand, it is so unsightly?

Su Lingyu ignored their eyes and directly picked up the thick clothes, "I didn't come today to make trouble for Madame, on the contrary, we came to give Madame money." ”

They were curious about what wealth this gray shirt could bring.

"It's a padded coat, isn't it?" Su Lingyu asked.

The mother-in-law stepped forward to take it, "This is not a cotton coat, could it be a ...... It's such a light cotton coat. ”

Another maid stepped forward and took it and weighed it, "It's weird, it's weird, this looks like a cotton coat, but it's ten times lighter than a cotton coat." ”

"Madame, look."

Mrs. Sun finally opened her eyes, with a little curiosity.

Seeing the maid's display, she was also a little curious, and reached out to go over and take a look, "It's really light." ”

"What's in here?"

"Isn't it cotton that hasn't been milled?"

"If the cotton is not tied, it can hold up the cloth."

"Does it keep the cold out?"

The maids took it, gossiping and chattering.

The mother-in-law went to snatch them back, dispersed them, and returned the clothes to Su Zhang's family.

"Dare to ask Mrs. Su, how is this done?"

"Duck down is made." Su Zhang said.

"Duck down? Clothes made of duck feathers, can this be worn? ”

"You can't die cold when you wear it?"

"No, no fool would put a duck feather on his body."

Mrs. Sun glanced to the side, and the maids bowed their heads one by one, not daring to make another sound.

The mother-in-law waved them away.

The chirping birds, one by one like quails, departed in a procession.

"Su Xianggong is a farmer, and one acre of paddy field can grow 500 catties of grain, so he must have something extraordinary. You have to tell you the secret of making clothes with duck down. Mrs. Sun said.
