Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Manager Ding quickly said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Madam is extremely talented and can come up with such a good idea. If this thing comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation. It's too cold in the north, so this thing will definitely not be used in the severe winter." , but at other times, like this time, you can still wear it. Wear a coat made of this cloth on the outside and a sweater knitted by the lady on the inside. If you live in the south, you can survive the winter. It’s much more convenient than a cotton-padded jacket or something like that, and it looks good, so I think a lot of people will like it.”

What Manager Ding said was the truth, and everyone behind him also agreed with this statement. Zixuan, on the other hand, remembered something, "Jinghan, this material is rather stiff. It seems that the style of the clothes we are wearing now is not suitable for this kind of clothes, right? Do you look good? Otherwise, just It’s made of material but not of good style, and the clothes don’t look good.”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, right? They had forgotten this. So everyone looked at Jinghan.

Jinghan smiled and said, "Since we have people weaving this cloth, how can it not look good? Just wait, I will draw the appearance of the clothes when I have time, and then find a few good tailors to cut them out and make them. , let you take a look. "Although Jinghan doesn't have much talent for female celebrities, she can draw the look and then find someone to cut it.

"Then we'll just have to wait and see the clothes made by Madam." Manager Ding and others have great expectations for this.

When Zixuan saw that it was getting dark, he told everyone to have dinner and rest first, and then led Jinghan back. Dinner was already prepared, and the dish was naturally the mutton pot that Ruyu mentioned. The two of them ate very happily.

"Don't tell me, it's really good to eat some mutton in this cold weather." Zixuan had a good appetite and ate a lot.

Jinghan's appetite was average, so she stopped using her chopsticks after eating a little, "Zixuan, eat slowly, I'm full."

When Zixuan also finished his meal, Ruyu and others came in and cleared the table, then brought in two more cups of tea, and then they all went out. Zixuan and Jinghan had nothing to do, so they just read together. Although it was very cold outside at this time, the kang was very hot and there was a wall of fire in the room, so it was not cold at all.

There were no outsiders in the rooms to the left and right, so the couple naturally didn't have to sit upright and read there. Zixuan leaned on two large pillows with his back, holding Jinghan with one arm, and pulled the quilt to cover the two of them. In this way, the two of them cuddled together, reading and discussing the contents of the book, which was quite interesting.

Anfu, Chang'an and Changshun went out to buy wool. Four days later, they returned with eight loads of wool. Now, Manager Ding and the others have work to do, and they are busy spinning and weaving every day. Jinghan was afraid that they would be too tired, so she asked some twenty handy wives from the county to come over and help everyone with the work. Anyway, the ten people in charge of Ding and the others are exactly five couples, so even if some more wives come, it won't be a big deal.

Naturally, the new wives cannot spin or weave, but apart from these, there is actually a lot of work to do. After they got used to it, the work went quickly. The yarn spun this time was dyed into several colors according to Jinghan's wishes, and then put on the loom to weave cloth. These people from the Yue family are all skilled craftsmen, and they can weave beautiful plaid cloth directly from just a few simple colors, which makes Jinghan very happy.

Jinghan was not idle either, drawing a pattern, and then thinking about the style of the clothes with Ruyu and the Zhao family's daughters-in-law. These people are much better than Jinghan when it comes to female celebrities. As soon as Jinghan briefly mentioned her requirements, they figured out how to cut them.

The first piece of clothing was made according to Zixuan's figure. The outside was made of woolen fabric and the lining was made of plain thin silk. A dark brown coat with black vertical stripes was worn on Zixuan, and the waist was simply tightened, making Zixuan look even more heroic and tall, with extraordinary aura.

Jinghan saw what Zixuan was wearing and said with a pity, "It would be nice if there were another pair of woolen trousers." Otherwise, it would always look uncoordinated.

"It's simple. I dyed the piece of cloth we knitted for the first time dark blue, which is just right for trousers." Manager Ding said to the side.

So Jinghan and the others made another pair of trousers for Zixuan and used a soldering iron to iron the trousers to remove the trousers. This time, Zixuan looked more upright. Seeing Zixuan like this, everyone clapped and praised him.

"Madam, you are really smart. This style is just suitable for this material. I think we can make a few pieces like this. It happens to be the winter month, and we have to send some gifts to the capital. I want to send these clothes to you, brother and the others. Everyone will like it very much." Zixuan suggested sending some to the capital.

Jinghan rolled her eyes and thought this was a good idea. This year's wool is indeed not enough. If it is sold, I'm afraid it won't have much effect. But if you send it to your eldest brother and brother-in-law, let them dress it up first. Especially Mingyu and Yunfei, if this happens, there will be many people vying to buy them next year. "Okay, let's do this. It's time to send things to the capital. We don't need this one and a half, so we can also give it to His Majesty the Emperor. If the Emperor is willing to wear our clothes, then next year we can It will be easy to handle." Jinghan is determined to drag the emperor into trouble. With him as a model and advertising, the clothes will become really popular.

So everyone distributed the work and gave them to Mr. and Mrs. Wenhan, Mr. and Mrs. Pengcheng, Mr. and Mrs. Jingwan, as well as Mingyu and Jingxian, and of course the emperor, each with a coat and a sweater. Fortunately, Ruyu and the others had nothing to do these days, and they actually knitted several sweaters. This way it’s not too rushed and just knitting a few more pieces is enough.

Manager Ding and the others also understood that this was to pave the way for the future, so they all worked hard and worked hard.

Jinghan can just talk and use her brain, but if you ask her to do it, even Ruxue won't be able to keep up. So Jinghan was excluded gorgeously. "Madam, you can't do this kind of work, why don't you accompany the adults for a walk? It's not a problem to be bored at home all day." Ruyu kicked Jinghan out.

Jinghan looked a little embarrassed at Zixuan, who was smiling but not smiling, and smiled. "Am I disliked by them?"

Zixuan hugged Jinghan and laughed loudly, "Everyone has their own strengths. Yours is using your brain. You don't need to worry about that. Well, there is a place called Moon Pavilion near our county. It was there a while ago. The villagers came to report that the winter hunt is scheduled for the 18th day of the winter lunar month. It’s almost time for me to take you to see it. I heard from the people in the yamen that this is very interesting.”

Winter hunt? When Jinghan heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. In my previous life, the most famous one was the winter fishing in Chagan Lake. At that time, many people would come here to experience that feeling. Moreover, the first fish caught in the winter will be bought at a high price. I just don’t know if the winter fishing in this world is as lively as Jinghan imagined.

"Okay, let's get ready and then go take a look. If the fish caught this winter are good, let's get some back to eat." Jinghan became interested and went back to prepare excitedly.

Zixuan was behind Jinghan and shook his head with a smile. Jinghan always has this temperament. When she hears that there is something new, she immediately becomes energetic. "Bring more clothes, especially fur coats. It's already very cold now, so don't freeze." Zixuan instructed.

"I got it." Jinghan waved her hand, she still understood this.

In fact, Jinghan is not only curious about this, but also wants to see if there can be any articles in it. You know, winter fishing has become a highlight of northern ice and snow tourism in previous lives, so there is naturally a huge market. Besides, even if people today still don’t agree with these concepts, the fish’s stomachs in winter are very clean and the meat is very delicious. If the output is large, can’t they still be sold? Although Jinghan can't say she loves this place, it is the first step for her husband to become an official, and she is willing to contribute more to this place. As long as it can make the people here live a good life, she is willing to try.
