Although the clothes are made, they look good. But Liu is not as optimistic as Du Yi, she always feels that this shirt will not sell at that time.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about sales, I have my own arrangements for this matter!" Du Yi didn't raise his head and continued to help Xiaohuzi sort out the clothes on his body.

Liu Ruye's eyes stared at Xiaohuzi, turned his head to look at the fluff in the sack again, and lowered his eyelids, as if he hadn't heard Du Yi and Liu's words. She and Doe were already mutually beneficial, and now that Doi's clothes hadn't started to sell, they told her, what was the purpose of this?

Du Yi gestured to the Liu family, and after everyone went down, he slowly spoke: "Miss Liu, the weather is getting colder and colder, I'm afraid that I can't arrange for you to go to Fengcheng until after the beginning of spring, I don't know what you think?" ”

Originally, Du Yi planned to arrange for Liu Ru to enter Du Mansion as soon as possible, but now that there are many things, and Liu Ru has just entered the household registration of Crescent Town, she wants to stay a little longer, and her identity will be reasonable when the time comes.

"Listen to the girl's arrangement!" After Liu Ru said this, he thought for a while and continued: "Now that Ruye's household registration has just fallen, if you go to Fengcheng rashly, when someone has a heart to explore, it will inevitably reveal clues. If the girl is not in a hurry, it will be better in a year or two! ”

Liu Ru lived in Liu's house during this time, so he naturally knew something about Du Yi's temper. Originally, she wanted to show submissiveness, but she was afraid that Du Yi would think she was not sincere, so she said what she thought in her heart.

The reason why she said this was inevitably a little selfish. The life in the countryside, although it is hard, you have to do your own food, clothing, housing and transportation, but every day is very fulfilling, there is no deceit here, there is just the simple and honest character of the people. Compared with the past, today's life makes her feel very down-to-earth. Even though she knew what Doe had made her live here, she was willing to do it.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean. As for when it will be arranged, I'll tell you again! ”

Du Yi was originally afraid that Liu Ru would be too distracted, so he specially called over. Fortunately, she also has this thought, so it will be much easier to do.

As soon as the down jacket was made, Du Yi told Peach Blossom her plan, after all, if she wanted to transfer Qiao's from the shop, she still had to say something.

Peach Blossom was naturally able to understand Du Yi and Qiao's thoughts, and now due to the disaster, fewer and fewer people came to buy from the surrounding villages in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, and the business of the small shop was also affected. In the past, two people had to take turns guarding it, but now she has no problem alone.

Du Yi was afraid that the peach blossom would stay there for a long time and his body would not be able to bear it, so he discussed it with his brother again, and finally found his brother to come to help, and gave a symbolic one or two hundred wen every month.

It was getting colder and colder, and the north wind was blowing outside. Now the production of down jackets is on track, but there is a mistake in the production of candles and soap, and the key is in the caustic soda.

At present, Doe has not seen any limestone, and if he wants to make soap and candles, he can only use plant ash to filter out strong alkali. It's just that in this way, the hands will inevitably touch. And that thing is corrosive, so Doe doesn't quite agree with this method.

But if there is really no way to replace it then, she will still consider it. As for making candles, you have to think about it, and Liu expressed a strong protest against her wanting to make candles.

"Girl, Boss Yu is here!" Just as Du Yi was pondering the feasibility of directly using plant ash to extract strong alkali, the sound of purple ding came from outside the door.

"If you come, you will come, if there is anything, you greet first, and I will come later." Doe pondered that she was not going to sell it now, if she wanted wine. She was thinking about going to Layue, and after a long time, she would raise the price when the taste was more mellow.

Du Yi was really unhappy because of the trouble, even Xiaoshuai, she asked Liu to take him out of the room. But since Yu Ziheng is here, it just so happens that she still has something to discuss with him.

Yu Ziheng hurried back from the capital all the way, afraid that Du Yi had already sold the wine. The first thing he did when he arrived at Liu's house was to ask how much wine was left, and when he heard that it was not yet on sale, he was relieved.

"Have you picked all the mangosteens this year?" This year, none of the Liu family's mangosteens were sent to Yu's house, which also made Yu Ziheng wonder, isn't Du Yi going to sell mangosteen?

When Du Yi came out of the room, he happened to hear Yu Ziheng's words, so he replied: "I just finished picking it yesterday, and I am in the cellar, and I am about to talk to you." This year's mangosteen yield is low, and the fruit is not as large as last year, and I don't know if it's because of transplanting. You go with me to see it first, if you still want to sell, the price will be easy to say when the time comes. ”

Originally, when Du Yi went to the mountains to pick grapes, she did not deliberately look at mangosteen, and it was only when she picked them in the past few days that she found out, which made her extremely depressed. She spent a lot of money to buy these mangosteen trees, but now it seems that it is better not to buy them at the beginning.

Yu Ziheng nodded and agreed to take a look. Last year, this mangosteen sold a lot of silver, and it would be great if you could take the opportunity to make another profit this year.

The two of them arrived at the cellar, Yu Ziheng just picked up a mangosteen and broke it and tasted it, and before he could evaluate it, he heard Liu Wang's voice coming from above: "Girl, are you down there?" I have something to discuss with you. ”

Du Yi heard that there was some eagerness in his voice, and after nodding to Ziheng, he came out.

"Girl, it's getting colder and colder these days, and the purple black fruit, that is, the mangosteen tree, seems to be dying!" Since Liu Wang talked to Du Yi, he didn't dare to put too much energy on the orchard, and now he suddenly heard that the person who managed the orchard came to report, and then he felt that something big was going to happen.

How much money Du Yi spent on the mangosteen tree at the beginning, he saw it in his eyes. If something happens to this mangosteen tree, it will pay a lot of money.

"What the hell is going on?"

After Du Yi asked this himself, he looked up at the weather again and couldn't help but smile. She forgot, forgot a crucial question. The mangosteen was originally a crop grown in the tropics, but the climate here is strange, hot to death, cold to death. She bought mangosteen this year and transplanted it to the orchard, and if she lost money, it would be because she was too aggressive. I wanted to do everything at once, and I spent the most money, but I messed up.

"I don't know, but I've heard that the mangosteen tree is not like in previous years, and has begun to wither. I asked carefully, and he didn't quite understand. He said that it may have been due to the continuous rain since September this year, and the weather was relatively cold. ”

Du Yi knew what was going on in his heart, he had spent so much silver, and he couldn't do it when he watched Mangosteen freeze to death. She didn't understand why it was so cold last year, and these mangosteens didn't die, and as soon as they were planted on this mountain, this situation appeared.

If she remembers correctly, mangosteen can't survive when the temperature drops below four or five degrees. But last year's situation really misled her, which made her misjudge.

"Liu Wang, you go find someone and enclose the mangosteen tree and spread it with wheat straw." Du Yi is not right to think about it, in this case, it is too much of a waste of time, and I don't know if it will have any effect. But it can't be like building a greenhouse, which takes more time and energy, can you just watch these mangosteen trees die?

Liu Wang, who got Du Yi's instructions, nodded and did it, but Du Yi's heart was up and down. Now that this is the case, the chances of the mangosteen tree surviving are too small. Just thinking about it made Doe's heart feel uncomfortably tight.

Yu Ziheng didn't understand this, but he also knew that Du Yi seemed to have something wrong and was not in a good mood. So he said to her, "Tell me something that will make you happy." You haven't sold any of your wines this year, so keep them all. The master said, give him fifty altars, which will be used at the palace banquet at the end of this year. ”

Du Yi, who was in a state of loss, only nodded faintly when he heard this, and oh, there was no reaction. Du Yi, who has been living a fairly smooth life until now, has completely planted a big heel this time.

She knew that those mangosteen trees were hopeless, no matter what she did, how many could be saved? The more he thought about this, the more depressed Doe became, and he couldn't even take his way away.

When Du Yi returned to the room and was about to close the door, he was stopped by Yu Ziheng. I saw that he seemed to be playing a trick, and took out a sandalwood box and an envelope and stuffed it into her hand: "This is for you, I will live here for the past few days, about this mangosteen and wine, wait for two days, you are in a better mood, and then talk about it!" ”

Doe closed the door and lay on the bed, staring out the window with glazed eyes. I don't know how long it took, but she seemed to remember that there was such a thing as a letter, so she picked up the envelope and knocked on it, hesitated for a while, and then opened it.

Zi Yicheng is full of nonsense, nothing more than thinking about her, asking her to think about him too, and she is not allowed to hook up with other men at will. In addition, he said that the box was a birthday gift for her, and once it reached her, it meant that she accepted it. That thing was her birthday gift, and it was also their love thing.

Du Yi, who was originally in a bad mood, looked at the letter paper in his hand, thinking about Zi Yicheng's face, and the expression of saying such a thing, his heart was a little sweet and sour. After putting the letter down, I picked up the sandalwood box, hesitated a little, and opened it.

I saw a phoenix with wings spread and six sides inlaid with jade inlaid with seven treasures and bright gold steps lying there quietly, Du Yi reached out to pick up the steps, and did not notice the smile in the corners of his eyes.

This step is very valuable at a glance, and it is really generous to use such a thing as a birthday gift.

Originally, she thought it was too expensive, but she didn't accept it. But at the moment of this step, the words "love token" automatically appeared in her mind. Then I saw that she was like a ghost, and carefully wrapped the step, put it in the dresser, and then went out.

After being blown by the cold wind, my brain completely sobered up.

"Yiyi, what are you going to do with the matter of the mangosteen tree?" Du Yi just went out of the room, and saw Erlang and Liu Dazhu, father and son, coming together.

Liu Dazhu's father and son were originally in the greenhouse, and the other happened to be resting at home. When Liu Wang came to look for Du Yi, he met and asked only when he knew that something had happened. Liu Dazhu's first reaction at that time was this kind of thing, Du Yi was a woman, and she definitely didn't know, so she went to the greenhouse to discuss with someone. As a result, after discussing for a long time, he didn't come to a conclusion, so he came to Duyi.

Du Yi, who was in a better mood, heard this topic, and a trace of sadness flashed on his face. But it's fast, so fast that Jiro thinks he's dazzled.

"Dad, this mangosteen is afraid of the cold. This year's weather is so cold, I think I'm going to freeze to death. I asked Brother Liu Wang to cover the tree with some wheat stalks and the like, how much can I live. ”

As soon as Liu Dazhu heard this, he became emotional: "What are you afraid of the cold, in previous years, when it was colder than now, why didn't you see those trees dead." This year, I spent so much money to buy it and plant it in the mountains, and I said that I was going to die. I think it's caused by someone who doesn't take good care of it. ”

Du Yi actually couldn't figure it out, according to normal circumstances, it was impossible for that mangosteen to survive in sub-zero temperatures. Why didn't the mangosteen tree die after such a heavy snowfall last year? Could it be that the water in the ground is different, the water here is very warm, so the root system is fine? Or is there a hot spring or something?

Let Du Yi think wildly, and he didn't think of a reason.

"Dad, let's buy a lesson in this matter. If all the mangosteens die, we won't plant them next year, and we'll plant more vines when we go back! Liu Dazhu and Erlang saw that Du Yi seemed to see it, and the two wanted to say something, but in the end they just nodded silently.

Yu Ziheng has had a very comfortable past two days, and Du Yi doesn't seem to be so tight against him. After he saw Xiao Shuai, he could still reach out and hug him. Seeing Yu Ziheng's attitude, Zi Ding and Bai Mei naturally thought that Zi Yicheng also knew about Xiao Shuai, and their hearts were even more happy.

On this day, Yu Ziheng held Xiaoshuai in his hand and sat in the study with Du Yi to talk about mangosteen and other matters.

"Miss Yiyi, this mangosteen is on the small side, and the taste is not as good as last year, so it must not be so easy to sell. Now this day is getting colder day by day, and the freight is bound to increase, and the life of the people this year is not easy, and the price will be reduced. If you convert it like this, there is no profit at all. I don't know if you have any other ideas here that can keep this mangosteen for the time being, and talk about it later? ”

This Du Yi understands, otherwise it wouldn't be at the very moment when Yu Ziheng spoke, so let him take a look first. But when it comes to preserving, there is a way to do it, and that is to make it into cans. But if you make canned food now, how to calculate the price and whether anyone wants it is still a question.

"It's not nothing, forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter, you can see how my hawthorn sauce and down jacket are!"

Because there are many cellars at home, Du Yi keeps all the fruits harvested on the mountain under the cellar to keep them fresh. She's going to take care of it and save it for next summer, when it's time to make shaved ice and popsicles. As for this batch of mangosteen, she tried to make canned food first. If someone buys it at that time, it will naturally be good, and if there is no one, it will be good for her to use it for personal contacts.

"I'm not in a hurry about this, I'll see later. Now I want to know, how much wine you have made this year. This palace banquet needs to use fifty altars, you prepare them first, and I will transport them to the capital. I hope that this time I will be able to take this opportunity to turn the wine into a royal sake, and the price will increase several times with it. ”

There's this free ad, and Doe doesn't do that to be a fool. As soon as she heard Yu Ziheng's words, she hurriedly nodded: "Okay, I'll filter it out for you tomorrow." It's just the rest of the wine, and the silver you earn, and we'll divide it in half. Also, just in case, you have to do a good job of the wine sign, just in case someone is red and comes to make trouble. ”

Doe pondered for a moment and decided that it would be better for her wines to have their own logo, so as to avoid some of the troubles in principle. Of course, if someone with a heart buys wine, half of it is true and half of it is fake to frame them, then that's another story.

After the wine matter was negotiated, Yu Ziheng talked about the down jacket. Du Yi took out one from the box in the corner and handed it to Yu Ziheng: "Look at it, it's this shirt, called a down jacket." It has fluff on its head, and it is light and warm to wear. In the past, when I went out, I had to wear five pieces of clothing, but I only needed to wear three pieces of this down jacket. ”

Yu Ziheng saw with sharp eyes that Du Yi was stacked in the corner of the box, full of down jackets. When he heard Du Yi's words, he was stunned when he took it. The winter coat was heavy, and he saw that the down jacket was quite thick, but he didn't know that it was so light. Just by touching my hands, I feel very warm.

Du Yi handed him men's clothes, he pondered for a moment, returned to his room, took off his heavy coat, and put the down jacket on his body to feel it, but he was reluctant to take it off.

When I returned to the study again, I saw him smiling and said, "This dress is really good, I don't know how much it costs you, how do you plan to sell it?" I don't feel anything about wearing this, and I feel a lot lighter! ”

"The labor cost is high, and my clothes are not affordable for ordinary people. It took a lot of effort just to deal with these fluffs, and this was to buy cloth and hire people, so the salary was really not low. You see how dense the stitches are, and how much thread is used in a piece of clothing. By the time you're done, you're wondering how to set the price. ”

"Of course, I can draw an atlas, and those people can choose to make it to order, whether it is long or short. As for embroidering on the top or something, you can also meet them one by one, but the price is another story. An ordinary one like yours can't be less than two taels of silver! ”

Du Yi knew that this silver was nothing to the people who were rich in the Ziyang Kingdom. They have a few taels of any piece of jewelry, dozens of taels. If it is a little more valuable, there are hundreds of taels, thousands of taels. Let those people take out a few taels of silver to buy a piece of clothing, presumably those people are also very happy, after all, it is difficult to buy a favorite with money.

She believes that others will not be able to imitate this dress for a while, after all, the fluff is not handled by everyone. This year, she has earned this money, just enough to make up for the loss on Mangosteen.

"Two taels of silver?" When Yu Ziheng said this, he lowered his head and knocked on the clothes on his body, and nodded: "This silver is worth it, but since Miss Yiyi gave me two taels of silver, it is my ability to sell as much silver." ”

Yu Ziheng had already made up his mind, let people draw some patterns, embroider on them, and give more silver. When the time comes, he will transport it to Fengcheng and the capital and other major places to sell, and if a piece is less than twenty taels of silver, he will not sell it.

"That's natural, if Boss Yu has no opinion, this silver will be calculated according to this. Regardless of the size, it will be two taels of silver, and if it is customized, increase the silver according to the pattern. ”

Du Yi wants to open his own shop, but it is already winter moon, and the shops in the town are not good, and everyone is counting on earning some silver at the end of the year for the New Year. This matter of buying a shop will be talked about after a year.

"Done! And what is the hawthorn sauce that Miss Yiyi said? ”

Yu Ziheng feels that Du Yi can always surprise people all the time, and new things are always the same and the same. He also has great expectations for this hawthorn sauce.
