Lady Lingquan lifts a thousand pounds

In the evening, after the family finished talking about their business, they got together to knit gloves.

Liu Siniang has not only opened a vegetable garden to sell vegetables these days, she has also joined the ranks of spinning and dyeing threads.

They have studied a lot and can already dye threads in more than ten colors.

Lin Xiangxiang knitted scarves and neck scarves and taught them to several people.

Scarves and neck scarves are relatively simple to knit and can be knitted quickly.

Liu Siniang and others took turns putting it on their necks to try, and found it really warm.

“You can also cover your face, so you don’t have to worry about freezing your face when the wind is strong in winter.”

When the wind is strong in winter, the blowing will hurt your face, and the cold will make your nose and chin feel like they are about to fall off.

With a scarf, you are no longer afraid of the cold.

Lin Xiangxiang said, "You can also make hats. A set of hats and scarves in the same color will look very good. There are also hats and scarves connected together, with gloves, which will also look good."

"By the way, for children's gloves, you can add a long braided rope in the middle so that they can be hung directly around your neck when not being worn, and you are not afraid of losing them."

She gestured and explained how to do it.

Liu Siniang and others listened to her carefully and took note of her appearance, thinking that they must try it.

Lin Xiangxiang suddenly thought of the Zhao family's great treasure.

The child is still very young now, and the weather is getting colder. If he goes out in winter, he must wear a hat to keep him warm.

And even when I'm indoors, I sometimes feel cold.

Why don't you give the kid a nicer hat?

A simple hat does not suit the child.

She couldn't handle the complicated hat.

She drew back and forth on the paper, but she couldn't draw a suitable look. She couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Wang, can you make a tiger head hat like a child's?"

Aunt Wang Ying put away the thread and said, "Yes, I made all the tiger hats you had when you were young."

There were no good materials at that time, so they were made from adults’ old clothes.

Lin Xiangxiang remembered that he did have a tiger head hat. It was very beautiful, with simple materials and good color matching.

"Then Aunt Wang, can you think of knitting a tiger head hat using the method of knitting gloves?"

She thought it was time to crochet. It would be easier to crochet some decorations.

Wang Yinggu thought for a while, "Knitting hats is a good idea. Let me think about it. How old are you going to make it for your child?"

Lin Xiangxiang gestured, "It's less than half a year old, so it's better to make it a little bigger. Don't make it too small. The child is big."

Wang Yinggu made it clear, "It's just that the decoration on the hat is difficult to do."

Lin Xiangxiang said, "Aunt Wang, please do it first. I will teach you a different weaving method tomorrow, which will make it easier to make the decorations on it."

After she finished speaking, she found a piece of bamboo, traced the size and shape of the crochet hook on it, and asked Lin Pingan to help grind a crochet hook.

Lin Ping'an had nothing to do at night and was reading. He was very happy when his daughter asked him for help. He quickly grabbed a knife and various materials and started working on it.

Lin Xiangxiang thought that this could also be made of iron. The iron crochet hook would take longer. When the bamboo pieces were ready, he would find a blacksmith to make some iron ones.

While Lin Ping'an was working on it, she was beside him giving advice. When it was time to go to bed, it was still not fully functional.

Because there were no samples, Lin Xiangxiang didn't remember the specific dimensions, so he still had to adjust them.

Lin Ping'an knew how to use this thing, and said he would think about it when he had time during the day, so she shouldn't worry.

Everyone washed up and went back to rest. Lin Xiangxiang saw that the lights were still on in Aunt Wang Ying's room, and she was probably studying the tiger head hat.

Shaoyao also took two needles and a ball of thread and was studying patterns for hats and scarves.

It was Lin Xiangxiang who asked her to go to bed quickly, so she put the thread away.

"Miss, when the workshop at the back is built, will you start making gloves and selling them?"

Shaoyao was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, and she was still looking forward to making money in the future.

Lin Xiangxiang smiled and said, "You don't have to wait until then. You can start soon. Let's do it in the reverse seat room first. After you learn it, you can take it home and do it. You don't have to do it here."

She knew why Shaoyao was anxious.

It cost money to send Shaoyao to learn spinning, weaving, and embroidery. Shaoyao went to study every morning and came back to eat straight away in the afternoon. She always felt like a freeloader.

She had always been eager to make money early so as not to look useless.

In fact, she is afraid of being abandoned.

Whether at home or in the Gu family, I was never as comfortable as I am now.

When I was at home, there were many people in the family, and girls were not taken seriously. There was always endless work to do and endless scolding.

In the Gu family, although the food and housing are good, the masters have bad tempers, and no one knows when they will be punished and sold out again.

There are also those mothers-in-law and stewards who punish people, bully people secretly, and are frightened all day long.

But in the Lin family, no one bullied her, no one scolded her, and there were no intrigues.

The master and his wife did not allow her to be called that, and allowed her to call her uncle and aunt.

The elder men are also very kind to the girl. They don't ask her to do heavy work, and they also tell her to pay attention to safety.

As long as the meal is not wasted, you can eat as much as you like, and you are told to eat enough.

She wears warm clothes and sleeps comfortably. The lady is also very cute and smart, always smiling.

The life here was like a dream to Shaoyao before, and she didn't want to lose this life.

Lin Xiangxiang told Shaoyao to go to bed quickly so that she could show her talents.

She asked Shaoyao to go to the store tomorrow and ask if the workshop would accept spinning threads of such a thick thickness.

"Ask them if they can take the job and ask for some thread, like the ones we make gloves, thick or thin."

Shaoyao quickly said yes.

"Miss, do you want to set the thick thread in the workshop and make the gloves first?"

Lin Xiangxiang planned to train Shaoyao to be a steward in the workshop in the future, so he didn't hide it from her.

"Yes, it is too slow for us to spin the thread ourselves, which will delay shipments. I have calculated it, and it is better to order the finished thread first. It is more cost-effective for us to only process the gloves."

"This year's gloves won't sell particularly well, but if we open up the market this year, we can continue to sell thin sweaters and the like next spring, and there will be a lot of goods next winter."

In this place, things didn’t spread as fast as they do in modern times.

Now that gloves are launched, many places cannot sell the goods.

Even if the market is opened first this year, the bulk of shipments will start next year.

But if the market is not opened this year, there will not be many goods shipped next year, which will delay a year of making money.

Shaoyao seemed to understand, but she didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, what the young lady said must be right. She just had to listen to the young lady's words.

If you follow the lady and watch more, you will naturally understand more in the future.

In order to find out if the goods could be shipped from the workshop, she brought some sample threads with her when she went out the next day so that the master in charge there could have a look.

Since Lin Ping'an stopped setting up a stall in the city, Shaoyao took a bullock cart to the city for classes every day.

Later, when Guangyunxuan came to buy vegetables and water every day, he would take her there and come back in the afternoon by bullock cart.

There happened to be someone in the village doing bullock cart business, and Peony followed him back and forth, so safety was guaranteed.

She had a mission today, and she had a serious face when she went out.

What the young lady has asked must be done.
