Chapter 102: New Side Quest
During dinner, Qingzhi nibbled on the milk lump sent by Su Lan and sighed to Ritsu Zichuan: "If you want to talk about prosperity and convenience, it is better to say Zizhou City!" ”
Ritsu Zichuan glanced at her: "We will be able to move to the city soon." The herdsmen are no longer making money selling mutton, and the head man is worried day and night, and if the spinning wheel can benefit the herdsmen, maybe they will find out some news. Qingzhi, I've wronged you. ”
"I'm fine, I'm going to shear the wool in the autumn, go to Zizhou City to sell it and go back to Lishan, the wool income is enough for my family to support the New Year, the winery should be able to share dividends during the New Year, and then my family's money can be connected."
Ritsu Zichuan's face suddenly turned very dark, but thinking of all the hardships on the mountain, his attitude finally softened, and said: "In this case, I hope that we can find out the news before the year, and we will return to Lishan together then." Meglo often came to the sheep herding place to talk to me, and he wanted the herd to sell wool products as well, and asked me if I could lend them a copy of the spinning wheel, would you mind? ”
"Me? Don't mind! ”
Most of the herders are reluctant to leave the cattle and sheep too far, even if the price of Qingzhi is lower than that of retailers outside the mountain, they should be more willing to sell wool products in bulk to Qingzhi nearby.
The most important thing is that the wool quality of the Dorset horned sheep is much better than that of the Coto sheep, and the herdsmen's wool products will not pose a threat to the wool products of the green branches in the short term.
Lying in bed in the middle of the night, listening to the sound of Ritsu Zichuan's even breathing on the other side of the curtain, Qingzhi thought that Xiao Ritsu was quite good, and was willing to share the exclusive commercial resources of the spinning wheel.
[Side quest released, is the host willing to accept it?] 】
Unwillingly, why is there a side quest all of a sudden? Because I praised Ritsukogawa?
[Let's take a look at the content first, it's easy.] 】
Don't look, I haven't used your net yet, don't worry.
[The fog net is a very valuable invention that can alleviate people's lives in areas where water is scarce. 】
My family lives right next to the pond.
It's as if the system is dead.
After the system gave up the persuasion, Qingzhi suddenly wanted to click on it to see what the task was.
[Side Quest: The average annual income of the herdsmen who led the herdsmen surnamed Ketuo Shanmei this year was the same as the previous year. 】
Well? Where is it easy?! It's hard! This year, the price of mutton has been reduced!
So you can convince them to make wool products, you see, isn't it very simple? 】
Hehe, I thank you.
[The reward is also a choice.] 】
Well...... Take your pick!
All right! It is my bounden duty to benefit the Ketuo Mountain Pastoral Team!
[The side quest has been accepted, please work hard to complete the quest.] 】
Aoeda thought for a while about what reward was appropriate, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Soon it was the season of sheep shearing, and because it was physically heavy, the people of the herding team usually gathered together in three or four to help each other.
The Qingzhi family, the Ha Da Niang family, the Su Lan family and the veterinarian who lived across the mountain sheared the sheep together, and agreed to shear the sheep of the Qingzhi family first.
After the wool is sheared, it needs to be cleaned off debris and grease, so the site is chosen by the pond to facilitate the nearby cleaning by fire, each person holds a large shears in his hand, and the green branches carefully balance between 'shearing as complete as possible wool' and 'not shearing the skin of the sheep'.
Not long after being busy, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, everyone lowered their heads and didn't mind much, only Su Lan stood up and said happily: "Cousin is here!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the horse was already in front of him.
The crowd stopped their work and greeted Meglo.
Meglo casually greeted a few words, and said to Qingzhi and Ritsukogawa, "I want to come and see what you said about spinning wool, and help by the way", and after speaking, he also brought a sheep to start cutting, and he had brought large scissors when he came himself.
Aunt Ha, Meglo and Su Lan are all very skilled hands, and Ritsu Zichuan also sped up after cutting a few, and there are not many sheep in the Qingzhi family, so they were cut in the evening.
Uncle Ha slaughtered a sheep, and Qingzhi and Su Lan packed up the mutton to prepare dinner.
Meglo, Ritsu Zichuan and others began to boil water to wash their wool, and Su Ma Suyuan kept collecting firewood back and forth.
For the first time, Song Qingzhi saw the shepherds helping each other and working together: it was really in full swing!
After eating the fragrant meat, everyone carefully dried the washed wool, and Aunt Ha said to Qingzhi: "You can dry it tomorrow, just enough to comb the wool!" ”
Meglo had to hurry back to her home two mountains away, hurriedly said her goodbye, and went on horseback.
After a busy day, Qingzhi was so tired that he didn't want to talk, so he and Ritsukogawa boiled water and took turns to take a bath and went to sleep directly.
At dawn the next day, Qingzhi finished washing, and was checking the dried wool, everyone had arrived one after another, Aunt Ha handed over a comb-like thing like an air cushion comb, the comb teeth looked like iron, and said to Qingzhi: "Use this!" Brush the wool as fluffy as possible! ”
Aunt Ha, Qingzhi and Su Lan sat on a large soft cloth on the grass and began to comb and dry the wool, Ritsu Zichuan, Meglo and the veterinarian and Uncle Ha moved the spinning wheel out, Meglo took some of the combed wool over, and everyone invited Qingzhi to come over to demonstrate how to spin the thread.
Qingzhi has been playing the video of spinning thread back and forth in his mind many times during this time, and he has also shown Ritsu Zichuan how to use the textile machine before, but when he sat down, he was still a little nervous when he was watched by everyone, is the system reliable?
She very carefully installed the bobbin, put her feet on the pedal and pedaled rhythmically, the spinning wheel on the conveyor shaft as large as a wheel turned, Qingzhi fed the combed wool, and soon the wool turned into a strand of yarn, and continued to roll on the bobbin, according to the system video, finally rolled into a whole shuttle of neat wool.
The herdsmen of Ketuo Mountain used to hold a shuttle and twist the thread with their fingers, and Aunt Ha was amazed: "The things in Zizhou City are good!" So fast! ”
Qingzhi was afraid of being a goof in the future, and explained: "Yiyi said that there is no such thing in Zizhou City, and this is still brought to Zizhou by merchants from the capital Liangzhou." ”
Meglo also nodded excitedly: "I have heard the name of the spinning wheel before, but I didn't expect our pastoral team to see it!" ”
Qingzhi nodded, the Zhou country is so big, the working people of the Zhou country will definitely have similar inventions as the working people of the rotten country.
"Qingzhi, can we try it?"
All the people in the pastoral team took turns to sit down and try it, and they all praised each other, saying that the spinning wheel was fast and good.
Aunt Ha pointed to the other side of the spinning wheel and asked Qingzhi, "What is it doing here?" ”
"Auntie, there is a loom over there, which can weave wool into various patterns and shapes."
Everyone had already spun a shuttle of wool, and the green branches set up the yarn on the loom to show everyone how to weave a scarf with the simplest pattern.
There are many different suits in the system guide, but it's really hard to learn!
The herding team of Ketuo Mountain is still relatively backward in terms of technology, so this simplest pattern has already killed everyone on the scene.
Even Su Lan exclaimed in surprise: "We used to always make wool felt, look at this one made of green branches!" It's lighter and better than felt! ”
Meglo also stared at the loom with burning eyes.
