The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

“Oh, it’s an apple.”

"It's really rare to see such good apples at this time of year."

"Isn't it? It looks like it was just picked."

"Hurry, Xiaoxi, come and open this gift package." Guan was happy when she saw what was opened in the big gift package, so she asked her eldest granddaughter to open another one quickly.

There was a "bang" sound, and this time what came out was still candy, but it was in a crescent shape, and there was juice inside when you took a bite.

The silk cloth is light green and looks as beautiful as tender buds in early spring.

Guan's eyes lit up when she looked at her three daughters-in-law, and she felt that she would have to go to her sister to buy a big gift package soon.

The other families in the Thirteen Banners thought what the Zhang family offered was perfect.

"Just that piece of silk cloth is not cheap, and that jar of wine must cost at least one ounce of silver."

"That wine won't cost you one ounce of silver."

"And those apples, at this time of year, you can't buy them unless you have a hundred big ones."

"Keep your 100 big seeds. Just that bag of apples, with their quality, now that we've got them in Black Rock City, someone's going to want 200 of them. Scarcity makes things valuable! This is what it means to be rare."

"And what kind of fresh fruit is that from the second gift bag? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"I haven't seen it either. Why don't we go ask Madam Jiang later?"

After Lao Yu finished speaking, he ran to the other side of the river and slid to the other side in one go.

He just saw that his old wife and two daughters-in-law were all attracted by the other person's silk.

But that silk cloth was also a good thing, he had never seen it before. He had already made up his mind and decided to buy three big gift bags today, so that he could open them and get three pieces of silk cloth, one for each of them, so that he wouldn't have to envy others. How nice it would be.

When Damao and Ermao saw their father carrying a big gift bag out of the Jiang family's yard, they ran over to help.

"Be gentle, there seems to be a wine jar inside."

"Dad, don't worry, we know what's going on."

Tian saw this and was puzzled. "Boss, why did you buy three big gift bags? Two would have been enough."

"Three big gift bags can yield three pieces of silk cloth. You three mothers can each get one piece. You don't have to envy others. It's not like our family can't afford it."

“…” The two daughters-in-law were delighted when they heard this. Without saying a word, they pulled their children and ran home.

When other people heard this, when they went to buy gift packages, they bought according to the number of women in the family.

Zhang Xiaoqi also went to Jiang's house again and bought two big gift bags.

After noon, Uncle Zhou Er had someone send back a few pieces of silk cloth, saying that they were taken from the New Year gift package.

They kept everything else, for use during the New Year, but they had to return the silk. It would be a waste to leave such a good thing there.

After hearing this, Ye Zhan accepted them all without any hesitation, thinking that he could give them to someone useful.

I don’t know which young wife came back to her parents’ home and casually told others about Madam Jiang selling New Year gift packages.

Then the Thirteenth Banner became bustling. The people from the Twelve Small Banners arrived first. They had a clear goal and said that they just wanted to buy a gift package worth three taels of silver.

We also firmly implement the principle of buying one big gift package for each family.

Then there are the eleventh flag and the tenth flag.

Ye Zhan saw that almost every household in the Xishan Hundred Households had received a New Year's gift package. He discussed with Jiang Yan, "It's New Year's, and I've been thinking about what gifts to give. Since everyone likes these New Year's gift packages, let's give a New Year's gift package to each officer above the rank of Hundred Household."

"How much silver are you giving?"

"Five taels of silver, right? Two for the senior generals."

"Row."

"One small flag and one pig."

"OK."

Ye Zhan asked the young generals of the Thirteen Banners to deliver the New Year gifts on his behalf, and then he no longer cared about the matter.

The Chinese New Year was coming soon, so he took a break and played Landlord with his two little sons every day.

Shiyilang seemed to have a special liking for the landlord, and every time he called out, he wanted to be the landlord. Jiang Yan saw Shiyilang's little face covered with notes and wanted to help. But Shiyilang didn't appreciate it at all and continued to call out the landlord.

Jiang Yan was a little skeptical. Was this child really hers?

Yi Chen didn't let her doubt for too long and came over to ask her for help. "Mom, I just checked the trading mall and saw a nice helicopter. Do you want to take a look?"

Jiang Yan looked at her daughter and said something that made all four of them burst out laughing. "Chenchen, if you have nothing else to do, you'd better stop browsing the trade mall. I'm afraid you'll get carried away one day and buy a cruiser to play in the river."

...

The Jiang family lived a peaceful life in their courtyard. The women in Black Stone City were all crazy about the silk cloth that came out of the big gift package.

Dong Erlang brought his men over. He first paid his respects to Ye Zhan, and then told him that the price of the silk cloth had risen from two taels of silver to five taels, and that the supply was in short supply.

"No way?" Guan, who happened to be visiting, was a little skeptical. "Is that silk cloth really that expensive?"

"Aunt, the silk cloth is priced at this price right now, and no one is willing to sell it to you."

Dong Erlang remembered the original story of the silk cloth and told it to everyone.

"Captain Zuo's youngest daughter is only ten years old this year. The silk cloth that the family found belonged to her. Zuo Jiaojiao loved it so much that she was afraid her sisters and sisters-in-law would fight over it, so she hurried to make a dress."

"The little girl is quite thoughtful."

"Mrs. Zuo made the dress overnight, but who knew it would be stained by my nephew right after I put it on."

"Could it be her sister-in-law who ordered it?" Guan spoke directly as always.

"The little girl was very sad. Captain Zuo and Madam Zuo loved their little girl very much. Madam Zuo washed her dress herself, for fear that the color would fade and the little girl would cry."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but add, "Don't cry, little girl. The silk won't fade."

"Yes. After Madam Zuo washed it, she discovered that the silk cloth did not fade and its color was still as good as new."

"Really?" Guan's silk cloth had not yet been made into clothes.

The fabrics of this era are all good in other aspects, but the dyeing of this fabric is a big problem.

Even good materials, once made into clothes, are afraid of being exposed to water. No matter how good the material is, after washing it twice, it will lose its color and become unwearable.

But in this situation, no one can do anything. If you want to see people, you can only make new clothes.

This is also one of the reasons why women from wealthy families often go shopping to buy fabrics.

The New Year gift packages that King Rui gave to his soldiers not only revealed useful New Year supplies, but also contained a truly exceptional silk fabric. Not only was the fabric of high quality, but the color was also stunning, even soaking in water without fading, remaining as vibrant as before.
