Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

After sorting out the things in the package, Liu Jingxue took out the malted milk and her own military coat.

She planned to send the other things to the cowshed in the evening.

The reason why they kept the malted milk was because when they delivered it to them two days ago, they said that they had not finished eating the ones that were delivered previously, so they asked her to take it back first and give it to them later.

We have no shortage of cloth, food and other things.

And after all, it is the intention of my eldest brother and sister-in-law, so I must let my uncle and aunt know. It would be wrong for me to stay here without permission.

As for the dried seafood, we can’t finish all the fresh seafood here, and it’s not easy to send them to the cowshed.

Let them digest the dry stuff slowly.

After finally finishing packing, Tuanzi reminded her that Zhang Guiying was outside bringing her some food.

Liu Jingxue quickly checked herself and found that she was still wearing the same clothes she had worn when she went out in the morning, so there was no problem for her to go out and meet people.

She also opened the package she had prepared.

The food, cloth and cotton in the two packages were deliberately turned out and placed on the outside.

Take the package out of the space and place it next to the kang.

Liu Jingxue ran over to open the door for Zhang Guiying and quickly greeted her, "Sister Guiying."

Zhang Guiying responded with a smile, "Xiaoxue, you are at home after all.

Originally my mother asked me to come and bring you vegetables at this time, but I said you must have gone up the mountain and would come later.

But mother disagreed, saying that you must be at home packing things at this time, and definitely not going up the mountain."

"She said that the food she sent you last time should be finished in the next two days, and maybe there won't be any food for dinner.

You are too shy to tell us, so let me send it to you now."

Liu Jingxue let her into the yard and said with a smile, "Sister Guiying, you came at the right time. I was just planning to go to your house."

"It seems like you're really out of ideas." Zhang Guiying said with a smile, "My mother is really good at predicting things."

Liu Jingxue quickly explained, "I'm not here to ask for food, I have something to ask you or your aunt.

Let's go inside and talk. It's quite heavy to carry a backpack."

The two of them went into the house together. Zhang Guiying went to the kitchen as if she was familiar with the place, took off the backpack, poured the vegetables in it into the vegetable basket, and then walked out of the kitchen carrying the empty backpack.

"Xiaoxue, what do you want to ask me and my mother?" Zhang Guiying asked curiously.

Liu Jingxue did not hide it and said directly, "Sister Guiying, Auntie should have told you that I want you to help make a thick cotton coat and cotton shoes.

I got the package back today, and my eldest brother and his team also sent over cotton, cloth and other things.

I was planning to send you some cotton and cloth for making cotton-padded clothes.

But I only know how to make single-layer clothes, not cotton-padded clothes, so I don’t know how much fabric and cotton are needed, so I’m going to ask you guys.”

My aunt had sent me a brand new cotton military coat to Xinshi, and I put it in my space.

This time, the eldest brother prepared another set for himself.

In addition to the cotton-padded jackets and down jackets that I stockpiled for inner wear when I was in modern times, I actually don’t need to hire someone to make cotton-padded jackets for myself.

But I had already told Aunt Sufen that I would ask them to make cotton-padded jackets, so it was difficult to go back on my word.

Besides, it is impossible for me to stay at home all winter, so I have to adapt to the local customs and wear some cotton-padded jackets that are in line with the local characteristics.

It’s not that you can’t wear military coats, but if you wear a military coat every time, people will think you are unhygienic and wear the same clothes every day.

It would also be inappropriate to let people know that I own several cotton military coats.

If they only have one set, they can say that their relatives found a way to get it for them. But if they have more, others will think that they are committing corruption in the army and embezzling the money.

If someone is dissatisfied and reports it, it will cause trouble for the eldest and second brothers.

Although my uncle and aunt were sent down to the countryside and severed their relationship with my two brothers, it definitely still had an impact on them.

It would be fine if no one paid attention to it, but if someone reported it, the army would definitely investigate it, and it would be bad to bring this matter up.

It can be seen from the accident of my uncle that the army is not that simple. The intrigue is no less than that in the outside world. It is better not to give any opportunities to the opponents of my two brothers.

After listening to Liu Jingxue's words, Zhang Guiying nodded and said, "Making cotton clothes is indeed different from making single clothes, and the fabrics used are indeed different.

To make a cotton-padded jacket, you need to prepare two different kinds of fabrics, one for the lining and the other for the outer fabric.

Of course you can use the same fabric.

Moreover, the amount of cloth needed is not twice that of a simple single garment.

After all, cotton-padded jackets are usually made larger, so in addition to reserving space for filling cotton, it also depends on the amount of cotton that is going to be used.”

Hearing this, Liu Jingxue asked, "Sister Guiying, I'm from the south and I don't have any idea of ​​how cold it is here in winter.

How much cotton do you think I should use if I want to go out in winter and make a complete set of cotton clothes and cotton pants? "

Zhang Guiying thought for a moment, then said, "You educated youth from the south are not as resistant to cold as us locals, so you should use more cotton.

If you have more cloth, you can make the jacket bigger and longer, so it will be warmer.

In this way, for two different types of fabric, you can prepare 1.5 times the amount of fabric for a single garment.

As for cotton, you just need to prepare about four or five kilograms.

By then we will make you a complete set of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded pants and cotton-padded shoes.

If there is any extra scraps, we can make you a pair of cotton gloves."

Speaking of cotton gloves, Zhang Guiying remembered something and quickly reminded,

"Xiaoxue, the snow outside is too deep this winter. If you want to go out in winter, you must prepare a pair of waterproof leather boots.

I can't go out with these ordinary cotton shoes.

If I go out wearing cotton shoes, I’m afraid they’ll get soaked as soon as I step out. My feet won’t be able to bear it and I’m afraid they’ll get frozen.”

Zhang Guiying's words reminded Liu Jingxue that yes, she needed to prepare a pair of leather boots for going out in winter.

Not only do you have to prepare one for yourself, you also have to prepare a pair for the cowshed.

But I don’t know how to do it, so I must find someone to do it.

Looking at Zhang Guiying in front of me, I wonder if they can make leather boots.

She asked tentatively, "Sister Guiying, can you and Auntie make leather boots?"

Zhang Guiying raised her head proudly, "Of course, in our Northeast, every family can process fur and make leather boots."

Liu Jingxue was delighted when she heard this, "Sister Guiying, can I ask you and Auntie to help make leather boots?

I need to make a few more pairs. I need two pairs for myself so I can alternate between them. I also need to make a few pairs for men and send them to my eldest and second brothers.

These soldiers are on missions all over the country, and maybe they can be of use."

Zhang Guiying nodded and said, "No problem.

But Xiaoxue, do you have leather? For making leather boots, sheepskin, deerskin or cowhide are definitely the best.

Of course, cowhide is not so easy to get.

Pork rinds are fine too.”

Since neither she nor Tuanzi knew how to make fur, there were many rabbit skins stored in the space warehouse, and Liu Jingxue blurted out,

"Sister Guiying, can rabbit skin be used to make leather boots?"

Zhang Guiying explained, “Rabbit skin is usually only used for lining to keep warm, not for the outside.

It’s not waterproof.”

Liu Jingxue thought of the animals on the mountains in her own space and said honestly,

“Sister Guiying, I don’t have any leather, but I can go into the mountains and hunt for leather.

But I can't cook fur.

Could you please help me prepare the furs when the time comes?

Make me two more pairs of women's leather boots and four more pairs of men's leather boots."

Zhang Guiying nodded without hesitation, "That's no problem."
