Twenty carts of cashmere filled the two wings, and the family looked at it with joy in their hearts.

But Tai Jiye came back much faster than expected, and the spinning wheel had not yet been made, so Tai Jizong was in a hurry, and took the craftsmen to start working overnight.

The women in the village are also anxious and want to start knitting sweaters as soon as possible and make money as soon as possible!

So, the men in the family were also brought over to help. Even if you can't do any fine work, you can always do it by helping to chop wood and carry things and boards.

Yang Lihua also put down the embroidery work, turned around the front yard and the backyard, and finally planned to clean up the remaining houses in the backyard.

In this way, one room for spinning, and one room for everyone to sit and work, are spacious and convenient.

It's not that she gathers everyone to work, and she has to guard against stealing cashmere, but the conditions are different from house to family.

Some homes are clean and spacious, and they are not afraid of anything.

I'm afraid that some people's homes are dirty and crowded, so I bring cashmere thread back, and I can't clean it if it gets dirty.

Because after washing, the cashmere thread shrinks, and the clothes and pants that are knitted are obviously a little worse......

The men helped to do most of the night's work, got up early and slept lazily for a while, and the women rushed to Tai's house again.

The grassland herdsmen originally did not have the habit of collecting cashmere and wool, and in general, they killed the sheep, roasted the mutton and boiled it, and the sheepskin was directly made into jackets and boots.

But in recent years, there have often been caravans in the north to buy wool and cashmere, although not much, but it is also an entry.

So the herdsmen also learned wisely, and in the spring, they sheared the sheep and exchanged them for daily necessities such as salt.

In the autumn, the wool grows again, and the sheep are killed, and the sheepskin is not delayed to make jackets and boots.

However, this is convenient for the Tai family, otherwise they would not have bought so much cashmere back at one time.

Tai Jiye bought all the caustic soda from the grocery stores in the city early, and also prepared a lot of large pots.

Yang Lihua told the women that they would pay ten wen a day, and then take them to transport the cashmere to the small river outside the village.

Cashmere should be soaked in alkaline water, rinsed many times, to remove the mutton fat and dust and other debris inside, and then spread on a large piece of oilcloth to dry.

These tasks are simple to say, but they are actually trivial and cumbersome.

But when the cashmere is scavenged, the women can make money by knitting sweaters, and they will be paid more every day.

Therefore, everyone in the village is busy, talking and laughing while working, which is very lively.

They all live in the next village, Liujiacun and Zhangjiacun looked greedy and stepped forward to inquire, but the women did not tell the truth, and responded vaguely.

The people of Liujia Village and Zhangjia Village were not happy, and after they went back, they told their neighbors to listen, and finally even the village chief also knew.

So, Village Chief Liu and Village Chief Zhang came to Tai's house to wander around when they had nothing to do.

Old Man Tai left them to eat, and then called Tai Sanye, and did not say a few words about the cashmere business at the wine table, but made the necessity of the patrol clear.

Village Chief Liu and Village Chief Zhang are also worried about selling seeds in the autumn, even if they can't get rich, at least one pound of bud rice for two pounds of sorghum can ensure that the old and young in the village have a full winter.

Both of them agreed, and made an appointment with Tai Sanye to make a joint patrol in the future. After all, the greater the strength of the people, the more amazing the momentum, the safer the fields......

After four or five days, the spinning wheel was ready, and most of the cashmere was cleaned.

So the old ladies of the village took over the cleaning, and the rest of the young women and girls gathered in the backyard of the Tai family and began to spin and knit sweaters.

And Tai Jizu also took seeds and supplies, drove the carriage to go out early and return late, and planted the fifteen acres of land on the other side of the Sancha River.

The busy days are fast, and naturally everyone is tired, but their hearts are extremely steady.

There must be a pay first, and then there will be a harvest!

The old man Tai was idle, so he took his granddaughter and followed the sesame balls around the fields, and occasionally went into the mountains to live for two days, roasting a rabbit and beating the tooth sacrifice.

There are only one or two times in the city, go to find Banxian Er to talk, dim sum shop to see Steward Min, and then take two boxes of dim sum, and the grandparents and grandchildren will go home happily.

On the morning of this day, the grandparents and grandchildren brought water and snacks, and followed by Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue to go up the mountain again.

The weather is warm, the rain is abundant, and the vegetation on the mountain is more and more abundant, and the herbs that can be picked are more and more.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue recently sold for a few hundred dollars, tasted the sweetness, and became more and more active.

Both of them carried a large wicker basket, which was a bit of a posture of picking up all the herbs in the mountains.

But as soon as the young and old went out, they saw a carriage coming.

The old man stopped, guessing if it was his own visitor.

Sure enough, the little steward on the wheel jumped down and asked if it was Tai Liuye's house, so he hurriedly moved things down from the car.

It wasn't very valuable, but a dime of pork, a bag of rice, two jars of spirits, and two boxes of tea.

The little steward bowed and smiled politely, "Old man Tai, our master admires your old man's generosity, tolerance and righteousness, and he is famous in ten miles and eight towns. Therefore, today I sent the villain over to bring some food to the old man. In the future, if there is a chance, our lord's family will pass by here and come to visit the old man in person. ”

Old Man Tai hurriedly asked, "I don't know what your master's family is......"

The little steward smiled embarrassedly, hurriedly took out the greeting note from his sleeve, and held it to the old man with both hands.

"Oh, I'm sorry, old man. The villain came out to run errands for the first time, and he didn't think about it for a while......"

"It's okay, little brother." The old man waved his hand, took the post and looked at it, it was a squire surnamed Song in the city, and he didn't know him before.

So, he excused himself and said, "Little brother, our family welcomes Master Song to come and sit, but it is useless, our family can't accept these things!" ”

Unfortunately, the little steward seemed to refuse to take it back, and even jumped on the wheel and ran away in a hurry.

Old Man Tai really couldn't cry or laugh, looked down at his fat granddaughter, and wondered if this girl had made any wishes.

But the family often eats dumplings and buns these days, and there is no lack of meat slices in the stew, this girl shouldn't lose her mouth!

Zhuzhu held her fingers in her mouth, tilted her head to look at her grandfather, her big eyes blinked, very innocent......

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were very happy, shouting around the pig's hind legs.

"What a fat pork leg, let my mother steam the meat sauce buns again! Last time, I didn't even eat enough! ”

"Me too, me too. I'm going to eat ten this time! ”

The old man's cigarette pouch and pot are itching again, is there anyone who is short of rice buckets, hurry up and buy these two boys......

Tai Jizu came back from herding the horse outside, and he was also surprised to see so many things.

But after taking a look at the name sticker, he guessed some clues.

"Dad, in the manor to the south, there is a master whose surname is Song. Could this Master Song who delivered things be the same person? If it's the same person, then this person may really be able to come and visit in the future. ”

Old Man Tai was woken up, and he guessed a few reasons in his heart.

"Oh, maybe this guy came running for our bud seeds! I'm afraid I want to make friends first and buy more seeds in the fall, right? ”
