Chapter 441: Testing the Waters
"Yinhua will be fine, as long as I drink the medicine, it will be fine soon, I'll go to dispense the medicine first."
"Well, go ahead!"
"Sister, didn't you sleep well last night?"
"It's okay, it must have been raining for the past two days, and I was upset so I couldn't sleep."
"Then do you want Yun Xiu to help you prepare some calming medicine?"
"No need Yun Xiu, you go to dispense medicine, I'll go to the kitchen to cook breakfast."
After Yun Niang watched Yun Xiu leave, she sighed and got up to help Yinhua pull the quilt, and let Xiaohua watch Yinhua go out to the kitchen.
During the meal, Yun Niang sent the food to Uncle Wu's room and Wang Dazhuang's room respectively, and finally sent it to Yinhua's room.
Looking at Yinhua's sleeping face, Yun Niang took the boiled porridge back to the kitchen and waited for Yinhua to wake up before eating.
Looking at the people at the table with a trace of tiredness on their faces, Yun Niang knew that she hadn't slept until the thunder last night.
Thinking that there was nothing to do in the past two days, the big guy was also tired a few days ago, and everyone went back to the room at noon to take a nap, only Yun Niang stood alone under the pear blossom tree in the outer courtyard to work.
Looking at the soil that had been soaked by the rain and already had humidity, Yun Niang turned over the soil on the ground to check, and looked at the earth dragon rolling in the soil, Yun Niang knew that the continuous rain in the past few days had made the underground water sufficient, so she could go to the ground to cultivate in the next few days.
Thinking that it was rare that there was no rain today, Yun Niang buried the soil on the ground from scratch, and prepared to go out to buy some fabrics and come back, and make two thick clothes for the people in the house.
Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and it has rained overnight in the past few days, making the weather more and more cold, and it has become more and more winter-like, but I am afraid that it will rain and snow in a few days.
The sky looked very clean after the rain, with a trace of white clouds floating above Qicheng, Yun Niang walked on the stone road that was still wet, smelling the fresh earthy smell in the air and looking a little elegant.
Looking at the steaming buns on the street and the shouting of the hawkers, the whole Qicheng really began to liven up.
Seeing the pedestrians and hawkers with satisfaction and yearning for life on their faces made Yun Niang's heart relax a lot.
Looking at the lively cloth workshop in front of her, Yun Niang stepped in.
"This son, but you want to see the fabric? Our cloth workshop is one of the best in Qicheng, and what kind of fabric the son needs, the shop has it. ”
"Shopkeeper, wrap your navy blue and purple cloth, and the white and water cloth and send it to this address."
"Yes, yes, Childe, a total of twelve taels of silver, and I will send it to the house for Childe later."
Yun Niang handed the silver in her hand to the shopkeeper, turned around and walked out of the cloth workshop.
After returning that day, Yinhua had already woken up, and when she saw the cloth that Yun Niang had moved into the house, she quickly got up and prepared to help.
"You have a good life and rest, take care of your body and get up again."
"Miss, I.."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Eat."
"Then you can rest!"
Yun Niang put the cloth on the table, turned around and pressed the silver flower that was about to get up.
Looking at Yun Niang's busy figure in the house, Yinhua lowered her eyes and thought of the voice in her ears last night.
Early the next morning, seeing that there was no silver flower on the bed, Yun Niang got up suspiciously and looked at the silver flower who was busy in the kitchen, and blamed.
"Aren't you feeling well? Why don't you take two more days off? ”
After saying that, Yun Niang stepped forward and touched Yinhua's forehead.
"It's okay, there's no fever!"
"Yinhua is fine, miss, I have already put the washing things in the house."
"It's okay, but don't force it, if you feel uncomfortable, let Yun Xiu take a look."
"Yes, Miss!"
"Hmm. Where's the little flower?"
"The third sister must have gone to talk to the master again."
"Now that the weather is cold, don't let Xiaohua play in the yard, I bought cloth in the house, and you can make two thick clothes for yourself when you have time."
"Yes, Miss!"
"Then you're busy!"
Yun Niang looked at Yinhua's recovered spirit, and knew that Yun Xiu's medicine had already worked, and she was not forcing it at the moment.
After breakfast, Yun Niang and Yun Yang went out again.
"Childe, are you here? Come on in. ”
"Shopkeeper Zhuang, how is the thing I want?"
"Childe, take a sip of hot tea to moisten your mouth first."
"Well, Xie Zhuang's shopkeeper."
"Childe don't be polite, the things you want are made overnight with the apprentices, but only two oilcloths have been produced, if Childe has an emergency, you can take it and use it first."
"Only two?"
"Yes, now it's cold, the humidity is high, and this cloth is not easy to dry, or I asked someone to bake the oil cloth all the time to produce two horses."
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper Zhuang, Yun Niang groaned, and she was not embarrassed by the shopkeeper Zhuang.
"Okay, you give me the finished tarpaulin first, and I'll take it back and take a look."
When Yun Niang took the oilcloth back to the small courtyard, she secretly estimated the length and width of the oilcloth in her heart, which instantly made Yun Niang want to cry without tears.
A piece of cloth is about 33 meters long and only 2 meters wide, which means that 20 pieces of cloth are needed for one acre of land.
Then the money for an acre of oil cloth is a hundred taels of silver, and the most important thing is that the oil cloth is too slow, if it is all done, then when will it be obtained.
Yun Niang's heart was crossed, and she asked Wu Tian to buy some vegetable seeds on the street that day, and at night, Yun Niang used spiritual water to soak all the vegetable seeds in wooden barrels.
On the second day, Yun Niang looked at the full seeds in the barrel that had protruded a little, which was more than one circle bigger than when she bought it last night, and it looked especially full, which made Yun Niang more confident in the vegetable seeds that Lingshui had run.
On the same day, Yun Niang took Wu Tian and others back to Fengjing Village, and used a bracket to prop up the oilcloth in the ten acres of land bought separately in the village, blocking the eyes of the villagers standing next to the scene.
"Girl, is this going to work? Why does it look so weird? Whose family farms and covers a cloth on the ground? ”
"Second uncle, don't worry, this cloth is just to block the wind and snow outside, so as not to freeze the vegetable seedlings."
"But you see that everyone thinks it's strange and talking about us!"
"It's okay, second uncle, they won't talk about it later."
Yun Niang stood in the field that had been cleaned up by the woman a long time ago, chose the nearest piece of land and fenced it, and covered it with an oilcloth.
In fact, not to mention that the people in the village think it is strange, even she thinks it is strange, but there is no way, the conditions here do not meet that requirement, she can only try the water first.
She did this just so that the second uncle and Wu Tian would not question the other things she was about to do.
Looking at the field that was surrounded like a yurt, Yun Niang lifted the cloth and walked in, and in this field, which was only about a few tens of meters, Yun Niang began to bury the seeds that had been soaked in spiritual water in the soil.
"Girl, you go out, second uncle come!"
Wang Erzhuang watched Yun Niang clumsily working in the field, hurriedly came in to let Yun Niang out, stepped forward to pick up the seeds that Yun Niang was carrying in a bamboo basket, and let Yun Niang go out.
"Uh, okay!"
"Go, go!"
Although Wang Erzhuang and Wu Tian didn't believe that Yun Niang could grow anything at this time, they couldn't help but look forward to Yun Niang's confident appearance.
