I saw the younger generation of the Lu family eating hurriedly.

Qiao Ye guessed that they not only lacked oil and water on a regular basis, but also could not eat enough.

The old lady saved all the good things and gave them to her scumbag father-in-law and his family.

In fact, the old lady is not only like this to the people in her room, but also to herself.

The old lady herself usually doesn't spend money on food and clothing.

Except for her fifth son, she is very stingy to others and herself.

In fact, in the old Qiao family, Mrs. Qiao is most partial to her youngest son and eldest grandson.

All the good things were used for these two people's food, clothing and daily necessities.

He treated the girls in the family even more harshly.

Like today, girls can only drink the porridge, share a piece of vegetables with chopsticks, and only boys can eat sweet potatoes.

The original body was even more miserable. He could only drink some thin porridge and was not allowed to eat any food.

But Mrs. Qiao is not like Mrs. Lu, who is so stingy to herself.

Old Mrs. Qiao would keep the good things for herself.

I also boil an egg every day.

When there was meat, she and Old Man Qiao got the most.

In the future in the Lu family, this stingy lifestyle must be changed.

No one has any hope as they can’t even get enough to eat.

She had to change her diet first.

After finishing her meal, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked the people present: "What are your parents good at?"

First understand what each department is good at, then think of ways to make money and assign work.

She thinks of solutions, and they contribute.

These words stunned the younger generations present.

I don’t know why Qiao Sanya asked this.

Lu Qiya from Lu Laosan's family was the first to respond: "My father can repair houses for others, and my mother cooks delicious food."

Wu Ya from the Lu family said, "My father can do carpentry work, and my mother can weave and make clothes."

Sanya from Lu Laoer's family said, "My father can weave baskets and straw hats, and my mother can knit and weave."

Liu Ya from Lu Lao Si's family said, "My father can weave baskets, and my mother cooks delicious meals and can weave cloth."

Qiao Ye took note and said, "Okay, I understand."

Almost all the women in this village know how to weave, and cotton is now a nationally circulated product.

One of the taxes is cotton cloth.

Therefore, almost every family here grows half an acre or one acre of cotton for weaving cloth.

The clothes worn by villagers are basically made of cotton.

After Qiao Ye finished eating, he asked Lu Shao to look around the yard.

I saw some rattan and half-woven baskets piled up in a corner.

She asked Lu Shao, "Are these made to sell?"

Lu Shao replied: "Well, this was compiled by my second and fourth uncles. They would take it with them to sell when they went to the town or county."

"But it's not worth much. Many people can weave rattan and bamboo baskets."

She asked again: "Are there rattan cabinets and bamboo cabinets?"

In modern times, she likes to watch videos and documentaries about various handicrafts, intangible cultural heritage, food, ancient craftsmanship, etc.

Her friends who opened a farm with her also like these.

I also started a live broadcast to collect these things myself and then record them into videos.

She didn't do any live broadcasts, but she did a lot of them.

So she knows a lot of ways to weave rattan and bamboo.

Lu Shao thought about it and shook his head: "I didn't see the cabinet you mentioned."

"You want to make a cabinet out of rattan and bamboo?"

Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Yes, whether it is rattan or bamboo, it can be made into furniture."

"Your two uncles are good at weaving. We can try making some furniture and selling it."

"Rattan and bamboo furniture takes less time and effort to make, and the key is that the materials are cheap."

“So it can be sold at a much lower price than wooden furniture, and there should be people who will buy it.”

"If we can make it, we can also open a furniture workshop, and we can make rattan, bamboo and wood furniture."

The current furniture styles are limited, and we can develop some of them, such as folding tables and chairs, sliding door wardrobes, etc.

In ancient times, having a skill was a way to make a living. For example, if you wanted to learn carpentry and furniture making, you had to find a master.

Lu Shao thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. My uncle is good at carpentry and he knows a little bit about making furniture."

"The other three uncles can also help."

"I know a lot about carpentry, so if they need anything, I should be able to help."

After he fled to the frontier, he became a disciple of a descendant of Lu Ban, who taught him everything he had learned.

So he is also very good at carpentry.

He knew that his young wife would find a way to make money with the whole family and become a hemp rope.

Not only can they live a good life, but they can also isolate his father's family in the county.

With such a binding of interests, several families will come over to their side from their biological father's side.

Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to them tomorrow when I get back from the county town."

Lu Shao thought of a question, "Oh, by the way, if the furniture made of rattan and bamboo strips is damp and has been used for a long time, it will get moldy. You have to take this into consideration."

He once made cups and other items out of bamboo, but then found that it would grow mold.

Qiao Ye smiled and said, "I know a potion. If you soak rattan and bamboo sticks in it and then dry them, they won't get moldy again."

"Applying a layer of cooked tung oil will not only make the texture and gloss better, but also be waterproof, anti-corrosive and insect-resistant."

This is something she and her friends learned specifically and they spent money on it.

To prepare that kind of potion, the herbs, plants and minerals needed are all relatively easy to find and don’t cost much.

Lu Shao smiled and said, "If these two points can be solved, it will definitely work."

Qiao Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Are you good at carpentry?"

Lu Shao did not hide it, "I am quite good at civil engineering."

Qiao Ye's eyes lit up, "Then if I want to make something in the future, I'll leave it to you to help."

In civil engineering, she knows some theoretical things, but she is not good at practical operations.

It seems that my husband has a big secret.

Lu Shao nodded and said, "No problem."

Qiao Ye suddenly had a guess.

She leaned close to Lu Shao's ear and whispered, "Do you think your father will pass the imperial examination next year?"

I don't remember Lu Shao ever learning from a master who was good at civil engineering.

I haven't heard of anyone in this small county who is good at this.

Judging from what Lu Shao said, he is quite proficient in it.

How did you learn that?

But she had observed and was sure that Lu Shao was not a time traveler.

She was very angry towards his father's family.

Moreover, he used to trust his sister so much, but now he is sure that she has betrayed him.

There must have been more of this.

There are only two possibilities. One is that he suddenly had some adventure that others didn't know about.

Another possibility is that he was reborn.

After all, if she could travel through time, it was entirely possible for him to do it again.

Lu Shao's heart skipped a beat.

He looked down at Qiao Ye and met her smiling and clear eyes.

He pondered for a moment and said, "It should be possible."

He felt that his young wife must have discovered or suspected something.

The story about the River God is made up, but her origin is definitely extraordinary.

It's normal to guess some of his problems.

And she also took the initiative to show him many of her special features.

If they were to live and work together in the future, he would reveal a lot of flaws if he didn't deliberately disguise himself.

So after thinking about it, I decided to answer her question.

Although he would not take the initiative to tell her his secrets, if she asked about the future, he would tell her.
