Traveling through ancient times to farm and raise cubs with a golden finger

Chapter 20 Cat Dong
Opened his mouth, and was about to speak, Shen Ye spoke first: "Mother, it's Ye'er's fault for not taking on the responsibility of supporting the family, making mother tired, and even neglecting to study, my son is ashamed of you, as well as of you." Father's spirit in heaven..."

Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned by Shen Ye's words, and felt a little guilty. It seemed that the words were too serious and hurt the child's heart.

"Mother, I plan to make two sand tables to practice calligraphy with my brother."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded nana: "Oh yes, Ye'er, mother..."

"Mother, Ye'er will definitely practice calligraphy well, and she will never let you down."

Before Yu Xiaoxiao finished her comforting words, she was interrupted by Shen Ye's firm words. Hearing her son's firm words, Yu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say. What matters is the result, and the result is good.

Shen Ye is also a man of action, and immediately took his younger brother into action, Yu Xiaoxiao scratched the back of her head, and got up to do her own business.

Fiddled with the spinning wheel and loom in the house, recalling the materials I read in my previous life.

After roughly going through it, there was nothing missing, so Yu Xiaoxiao went to get all the hemp stalks brought back before winter into the house, and peeled off the hemp stalks.

After peeling for a while, Yu Xiaoxiao saw that her fingers had changed color, thought for a while and took out a pair of gloves from the game, and took out the plastic wrap along the way.

Wrap your fingers carefully, put on gloves, bring a bucket of water and put it beside you, cover your legs with the leftover cloth from the previous torn clothes, and then continue to peel the hemp stalk.

After peeling enough, use bamboo slices to press the hemp stem skin and scrape it off the wooden board, then straighten it out and soak it in water.

With this step, Yu Xiaoxiao has been busy all day, and Shen Ye cooks all the meals.

After soaking until soft, simply drain the water, slowly spin it into thread with a spinning wheel, and tie it up.

After they were all dried, Yu Xiaoxiao started to sizing the twine to make the twine more flexible and smooth.

After sizing, the hemp thread can be used for weaving. Weaving is really a delicate job. Yu Xiaoxiao was not familiar with it at first, and always had to go back and forth. It took a month to finish weaving a piece of cloth.

According to the information from the previous life, one and a half to two pieces can usually be woven in a month, but Yu Xiaoxiao's results are still completed by working overtime day and night.

Even the cooking has been completely handed over to Shen Ye, there is only one piece of cloth, and this is undyed gray cloth, it looks yellowish and brownish, a little rough to the touch, but everything else is fine.

It's just that this kind of cloth is the cheapest, and you can buy 300 cash for a piece, which means that you don't even have enough money for food for a month. Of course, eating miscellaneous grains alone is enough for a family of three.

Sighing, Yu Xiaoxiao set a small goal for herself, to weave two bolts of cloth this month.

After dinner, Yu Xiaoxiao continued weaving, Shen Ye added coal to the stove, and his younger brother Shen Qi practiced calligraphy with twigs on a sand table each.

The sky was getting dark, Shen Ye hurriedly lit a candle for his mother and put it in front of her, fearing that Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes would be ruined.

Cook by myself and let my younger brother continue to practice calligraphy.

The meal was ready, Yu Xiaoxiao continued to work after eating, and Shen Ye cleaned up the dishes.

Yu Xiaoxiao yawned at the climax of the moon. Seeing that the two children were still with her, she hurriedly asked the children to rest, and she was also sleepy.

In such an atmosphere, life is very comfortable, time flies, Yu Xiaoxiao completed the task one day ahead of schedule.

Yu Xiaoxiao plans to rest for a few days and continue, but sitting and weaving is too boring, Yu Xiaoxiao can't sit still.

On this day, Yu Xiaoxiao and Shen Ye Shenqi were sitting around the stove eating canned food, when they suddenly heard someone calling themselves outside the door, Yu Xiaoxiao was wondering who it was, it was not a cat winter in the middle of the winter, and she came to visit the door, while doing her hands and feet neatly Put away the cans.

Then he put on a padded jacket and went to open the fence gate to see who it was.

Because the fence and courtyard wall of our house is very dense, thick and high, the courtyard cannot be seen from the outside, and the outside of the courtyard cannot be seen from the courtyard.

When she opened the door and saw that it was Mrs. Luo, Yu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. She remembered that Mrs. Luo's house was near the village head's house, and it was still far away from her own home, so she was usually fine.

Came here suddenly today, probably there is something wrong.

Yu Xiaoxiao's thoughts turned, but she smiled and asked people to come in: "Sister Luo, why are you here, come in quickly, it's very cold outside, and there's a stove burning in the room, hurry up and warm yourself up."

Mrs. Luo blushed from the cold and stomped her feet. She was not polite after listening to Yu Xiaoxiao's words, and hurried in the door and went straight to the house.

Yu Xiaoxiao closed the courtyard door, pulled on the padded jacket and hurried into the house, it was so cold to death.

In the room, Shen Ye saw Aunt Luo entering the room and said hello politely: "Sit down, Aunt Luo, I will serve you a bowl of hot water to keep you warm."

There was always an iron pot boiling water on the stove, and it happened to be a bowl for Mrs. Luo to warm her hands.

Yu Xiaoxiao entered the room and closed the door, then shook the padded jacket, put it beside the bed, took a chair and sat by the stove to warm her hands.

"Why is Mrs. Luo here today? What's the matter? It's so hard to run in this winter."

Mrs. Luo slowed down, rubbed her face, and then said with a smile: "Isn't Maodong doing nothing? My guy just made a millstone by himself. I'm thinking about being idle, so why not start a tofu business?" , add something to the villagers in winter."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, and understood that selling tofu is for soliciting customers. Yu Xiaoxiao was very cooperative and said, "This is really good. There are no dishes in winter, so it's good to eat tofu, but I don't know how to sell tofu at sister-in-law's house?"

Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "What do you sell? You can exchange it with beans. A thick bowl of beans can be exchanged for two yuan."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, it's not bad, a thick bowl of beans is about half a catty, and two pieces of tofu are also about half a catty, which is the profit of half a catty of tofu.

"Success, I see, these two days can just be exchanged for two yuan to eat, so I can satisfy my hunger."

Although Mrs. Luo had finished speaking, she had no intention of leaving at all. She held a bowl and drank water and looked around the house. She became interested when she saw the spinning wheel in the corner and the half-woven cloth still on the loom.

"Sister Xiao, do you know how to weave?"

Yu Xiaoxiao followed Sister Luo's line of sight, and smiled embarrassedly: "Yeah, it's not that Maodong is fine, just have an idea with you, sister-in-law, to make some things to subsidize the family."

"Ah~ you're selling this too?"

Mrs. Luo asked excitedly.

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Well, you've seen it too, I'm just gray cloth, and it only costs 300 Wen per piece at the cloth shop. I don't know where to sell it."

"That's right, selling in the village saves you an extra trip. My sister, how much is your foot? Sister-in-law wants to buy some clothes for the family?"

Mrs. Luo asked tentatively.

Yu Xiaoxiao smiled: "One foot is 3 Wen, and the gray cloth is the same price, how much does my sister-in-law want?"

Sister-in-law Luo gritted her teeth and planned to buy it. The gray cloth in the cloth shop costs four cents a foot: "30 feet."

"Succeed, sister-in-law is waiting for me to cut it for you."

Yu Xiaoxiao cut out the cloth Sister-in-law Luo wanted, folded it up and handed it to Sister-in-law Luo.

Sister-in-law Luo took it, only to realize that the tofu in the basket hadn't been given to Yu Xiaoxiao before she said, "Oh, look at my memory..."
