The days are as cold as a day, Ziqing's sweater is knitted twice, and she takes it to Zeng Ruixiang and Shen to try on, both are dark red cardigans, Zeng Ruixiang said with a smile: "This season is just right to wear a jacket, save wearing a thin cotton jacket, and it is still obedient." After a few days, when it gets cold, put on a padded jacket outside, and it will not look bloated. ”

Shen Shi also smiled when he heard it and said, "That is, when did my daughter give us something bad?" You can borrow it with you. ”

"Qing'er seems to be my daughter too, why did I become a borrower? Whose light is it borrowed? Zeng Ruixiang asked Shen with a smile.

Ziqing pursed her lips when she saw this, and hurriedly pulled Ziyu out, Ziyu pouted, Ziqing reached out to tidy up her bun head, and said, "Look at your appearance, when did my sister forget you?" ”

When Ziyu heard this, she immediately smiled, stuck to Ziqing, and said, "I'll just say that my sister can't forget my only sister." ”

On Ziyu's birthday, Ziqing gave her a sweater with a pink cardigan with a big lapel, which was a long skirt with an emerald green silk waist and floor-length skirt, with an amethyst brooch, the ten-year-old girl also knew that it was stinky and beautiful, and looked at everyone with her eyes, Liu and Chen smiled and praised for a long time, saying that this is really as beautiful as a peach blossom, and Shen said when she saw it: "My Yu'er is also like a big girl." It's so beautiful. ”

Ziqing asked Lin Kangping to bring two sweaters, a man and a woman, to meet Wen San's father, and wanted to talk about the sales of sweaters, Ziqing's reserve price is not less than six taels of silver for men's clothes and no less than five taels of silver for women's clothes.

"Qing'er, are you sure you can sell it? You must know that five or six taels of silver is enough for the average small family to live for a year, even in the capital, not everyone can afford to spend so much silver to buy a sweater that is not as warm as a cotton jacket, not to mention that a cotton jacket is less than a tael of silver? With all this silver, adding some more is enough to buy a big hairy one. Lin Kangping asked.

"Who said I was going to sell to ordinary people? Those noble ladies in the courtyard of the deep mansion can be willing to spend dozens of taels of silver or even hundreds of taels to wear a piece of Su Jinyun brocade, and I only have a few taels of silver, but I am selling it fresh. After all, we're still the first one, right? ”

As soon as Ziqing said that it was fresh, Lin Kangping immediately turned around and took Ziyu to Wen's house, but he didn't expect Mrs. Wen to see Ziyu's dress. said how much to want, this can make Ziqing happy, thinking that he is also a business, and he always wants a mark, brand or something. After thinking about it for several days, Ziqing embroidered a duck as a label on the sweater knitted by Xiaoqing Xiaolan, originally Ziqing wanted to embroider a Qing word. Lin Kangping said that how could a woman's name be easily leaked out, Ziqing wanted to make a down jacket in winter, so she simply called the duck brand.

Suddenly, Ziqing watched the lotus leaves in the pond gradually wither, and wanted to eat lotus roots, Lin Kangping beckoned Lin Feng to go down the mountain to dig lotus roots, and the lotus roots dug out were thick and tender, even Lin Kangping was very surprised. said, "These are all good seeds that Mr. Tong found out of nowhere, so it's better to dig them all up and sell some, and I can't eat much at home." It's a pity that I didn't take care of it last year, it's a pity. ”

Ziqing listened to it and agreed, Ziqing is still quite interested in earning money, there is no way, a layman.

Lin Kangping took the lotus root to Anzhou to find a tooth shop, and got five cents a catty. Lin Kangping didn't look for outsiders, and greeted the four little guys in the family, plus Wang Tieshan, Wang Huajiang, and himself. It took more than ten days to dig out 10,000 catties of lotus root from five or six acres of pond, Wang Tieshan and Wang Huajiang also taught them how to keep lotus root seeds, Ziqing then knew that lotus root can be regenerated once planted. You don't need to take care of it in the future.

What I didn't expect was that digging lotus root actually dug up a lot of yellow eel loaches, Ziqing sat in the pavilion and saw it, and hurriedly said: "Pick out the big yellow eel and put it in a wooden barrel to raise, I want to eat it when I want to catch it." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, there are so many of them, you can't eat them." ”

Wang Tieshan said: "Just take a net, pull a net, two nets, pick up some big fish above two or three catties and sell them, otherwise it is not good if the pool is too full." ”

"According to me, at the end of the year, grandma gave birth to a child, and she wants to set up wine, so let's pull it at that time, and it can be sold at a good price for the New Year." Mrs. Wang said.

"Okay, then listen to your mother-in-law." Lin Kangping said.

The lotus root was sold, Lin Kangping paid four strings of money for one person to work, and Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's better to be grandma, do extra work, and give extra money." ”

When the first snow fell, Ziqing suddenly realized that winter had already arrived, and Lin An and Lin Fu had been helping Ziqing collect duck feathers and goose feathers, so that later whoever killed the ducks in the village took the initiative to send them to Qingyuan.

Ziqing first made a big red one for herself, and a circle of white goose feathers was sewn on the down jacket and hat, and Lin Kangping's was also a goose down jacket with a green fine grain cotton cloth with a hat, which was similar to making a cotton jacket, because he was afraid that the down would run out, so he had to sew it finely and densely, and it was also flat, but it was not rigid, and it was still fluffier than cotton, and the effect was really good. There are no zippers and no plastic buttons, and Ziqing still uses wooden buttons instead. It seems that this down jacket can really only be made by someone who is meticulous in needlework.

Ziqing and Lin Kangping changed into down jackets, and the two of them stood in the pavilion on the island in red and green to enjoy the snow, Zixi came to her and said that it was very pleasing to look at from a distance, "Sister, what kind of padded jacket are you, it is light and warm when you look at it, why don't you make one for me?" ”

"Go, don't you know that your sister can't even cat? Where else can I do this, I don't have any eyesight, and when I find a wife in the future, let your wife do it for you. Lin Kangping said.

"It's okay if my sister doesn't do it, take off your body and give it to me, I don't mind what you wear." Zixi said.

"How tall are you to wear my clothes?"

"It's okay, if you are short, I will be short, I will be long, and if you are long, I will be a quilt, do you have any comments?" After Zixi finished speaking, he looked at Lin Kang and smiled.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, I've already done it. Go for it. Ziqing said with a smile.

"I just said my sister can't forget me." After Zixi finished speaking, he deliberately made a smug face at Lin Kangping.

The three of them returned to the inner courtyard, Ziqing took out her clothes, "Sister, why is there a duck on it?" Zixi took the clothes and studied them first.

"This is what I came up with, I want to sell this dress, ten taels of silver a piece, I am afraid that others will copy it, so I embroidered a pattern myself, and there is another one in the collar. I'm afraid that someone else will counterfeit this in the future, but if the quality is not as good as mine, I can tell what is going on. Ziqing explained.

"Ten taels of silver, sister, you are too dark, ten taels of silver for this dress? It's enough for me to spend a year, and my dad only has one piece of clothing for a year, and the gap between the poor and the rich is really huge. Zixi sighed alone, in exchange for a look of contempt from Lin Kangping and Ziqing.

"You also know that you spend ten taels of silver a year, and if you don't succeed next year, I'm really sorry for what your sister has taught you all these years." Lin Kangping said.

"Brother-in-law, don't be unhappy, you must know how many years I have been with my sister day and night, and you have only been married to my sister for a few days? I don't blame you for snatching my sister away, my sister made me a dress, and you are still sour. Zixi glanced at Lin Kangping with disdain and said.

"Alright, hurry up and take your clothes and leave, you are everywhere." Lin Kangping kicked at Zixi, Zixi jumped away, rubbed to Ziqing's side and said with a smile: "Sister, what do you eat at night?" It's easy for me to go home and make some delicious supplements. Your house is so warm, why don't I stay here tonight. ”

Ziqing said with a smile: "There are fresh lotus roots at home, and the big yellow eel you love to eat, you go and tell Granny Wang by yourself what you want to eat." Zixi jumped out, and even Lin Kangping couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

The duck feathers and goose feathers purchased by Ziqing, Shen made a few, Ziqing made a few, left them for his family to wear, and the rest was sent to Qiuyu in one go, Qiuyu's needlework Ziqing was still more assured, a down jacket was given a processing fee of 200 Wen, for a skilled hand like Qiuyu, it only took two days to do one, and Ziqing was happy to do it.

Before the lunar month, Lin Kangping sent twenty sweaters and ten down jackets to the Wen family, Xiaoqing Xiaolan received three taels of silver salary, and her face was happy, Xiaoqing took the silver and followed Ziqing for a long time, if you want to say it or not, Ziqing deliberately didn't ask, seeing that Ziqing was about to enter the inner courtyard to rest, Xiaoqing shouted weakly: "Grandma, I will take leave with Xiaolan tomorrow to go to Anzhou for a walk, okay?" ”

Ziqing was secretly happy, it seems that women want to go shopping when they have money, which is the same in ancient and modern times. "Just this little thing, you are polishing by my side, what should I do? I don't think you look like you're happy on weekdays, not afraid of the sky? How can this be cowardly? ”

Ziqing simply did it to the end, Lin An and Lin Fu paid a hard fee for collecting duck feathers, gave the four of them a day off, and took the two girls to Anzhou.

On this day, Lin Kangping helped Ziqing wash her feet, cut her nails, and asked the nearby Wen Po which one was good to deliver the baby, Ziqing said Wang Wen Po, Lin Kangping asked: "It's better for our family to invite her first, our house is cheap, don't find anyone at that time, then you will be blind." ”

Ziqing remembered the scene of Shen's birth of Ziyu, and hurriedly nodded and agreed, estimating that her due date was on the twelfth and third days of the lunar month, and now that Laba had passed, it was time to prepare, "Why don't we move to the island to live, isn't there a ground kang?" During the confinement period, I couldn't wash up, and I had to wear a lot of clothes, which was very uncomfortable. ”

Lin Kangping thought that it was indeed warm over there, so he nodded and agreed, and the next morning, he instructed Lin An to go to the cage fire, Xiaoqing Xiaolan put some clothes, settled it, and went to pick up Wang Wenpo, Wang Wenpo did not agree, only said that no matter where she went to deliver the baby, she would leave a message to the family to ensure that Lin Kangping could find her at any time.

Ziqing listened to the secret praise, and thought to herself that this person is very professional, regardless of whether he is rich or poor, he treats everyone equally. It's no wonder that ten years have passed, and popularity has only increased.

Just thinking about it, Zifu and Zilu came over. (To be continued)
