The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

"Of course you can. You look very different now than before, and few people can tell." When Lu Linlang heard that she wanted to take a look, she naturally would not refuse. If the emperor could successfully grasp the power in his hands in the future, Princess Yong'an was the emperor's only sister, and her words could play a certain role.

"Then where are we going next?" Guan Ling smiled when he heard her agree.

In the capital, the only place she could enter and exit freely was her own palace. In the past, she had longed for those noble ladies from aristocratic families, because at least they could move around the capital on their own and talk to their friends.

When she was in the palace, her mother often discussed things with her brother. Every time, she felt that she was still a child and was not suitable to listen to those things, so she always avoided her. Her brother's concubines also always wanted to surround her brother, wanting only to give birth to a child and become the queen.

They were very polite and distant to her. The palace maid who treated her best was killed by the regent's men while she was fleeing on the road. So along the way, she had a lot of grievances and sadness in her heart that she wanted to tell, but not many people knew her true identity, and she didn't dare to reveal it herself.

So after observing Lu Linlang's behavior and daily busyness for these days, she regarded Lu Linlang as an intimate elder sister in her heart, and wanted to follow her and listen to her tell her things that she had never thought about or cared about.

The more I interact with Lu Linlang, the more I admire her. She seems to know everything, and she never exhausts herself or makes excuses to make others feel that she is not good enough.

When villagers came to ask her for advice, she would explain patiently. If they encountered something they didn't understand, she would explain it many times, without getting tired of it, until they taught her.

The children in the village were afraid of the clan leader and elders. She was always dignified and majestic in front of others, but she would smile and ask for advice humbly in front of her.

The key is that she will not be arrogant because of this. She will explain the reasons for everything she does in a simple and easy-to-understand way. She is also very respectful to capable people, such as Master Li and Master Yun. She will not act superior just because she has saved people before, nor will she act like an elder just because Master Yun is her cousin.

She is also willing to support her family and do what she likes. During the days she has lived here, what she heard most is her younger brothers and sisters' admiration for Lu Linlang.

So she now began to pay close attention to Lu Linlang's movements. When she saw her leading her out of the crowd, she asked curiously.

"Let's go see how the down jackets are doing, and also check out the duck business."

After Uncle Yu and his family collected all the down, Lu Linlang started to ask people to research ways to clean the down. She also found Young Master Zhang and asked him to help find fabric to fill the down. Down is very fine and easily sheds, so ordinary cotton cloth can easily let the feathers fall out. She didn't know how to synthesize polyester and nylon fabrics, and without the raw materials, she could only settle for the next best thing.

"Down jacket? Are there other clothes like this? Then let's go and take a look." Hearing this, Guan Ling was very curious and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Uncle Yu and his family have been duck farmers for many years. He has a lot of experience in raising chickens and ducks. Now he raises tens of thousands of ducks on several hills he bought. These ducks are broken down into different parts, and the duck feet, duck wings, duck gizzards, duck heads, etc. are made into braised food, and the duck bodies are made into roast duck. Not only Chongshui County, but even the neighboring counties are in short supply.

Many wealthy families think that duck feet have bones, which makes them ungraceful and taste bad, so Lu Linlang had the duck made into a roast duck with sliced ​​skin, and then paired it with refreshing side dishes to wrap the sliced ​​duck meat, which would be more in line with their status.

Therefore, these parts are mostly liked by ordinary people. Now Lu Linlang processes these parts and makes braised food, which makes these parts that were once looked down upon by people become popular commodities.

When people walked on the street and smelled this overbearing scent, many of them couldn't help but sniff, trying to find the source of the fragrance. Naturally, more people came to ask, and it quickly captured the hearts of these people.

When Uncle Yu saw the two people coming, he happily took them to a nearby down processing workshop. The workshop here employed all the people bought by Lu Linlang. There were not enough villagers now, and most of them worked in the workshop.

"Boss, you are amazing. The down jacket you mentioned before was really made, and it doesn't have any smell. It's very light in the hand, not as heavy as cotton, but very warm. If I had met you when I was a child, I wouldn't have to feel inferior for so many years."

Uncle Yu was the most excited. When his father did this, he was laughed at, and the children in the village also laughed at him. Now it has been proved that his father's idea was indeed correct, and he was really happy in his heart.

"Don't worry, Uncle Yu. I told you at the beginning that I would give you one when the clothes are ready." Lu Linlang smiled and promised when she saw Uncle Yu, who was happier than her after the clothes were made.

"Then I'll wait for winter to wear such warm clothes that can be used for work." Uncle Yu did not refuse. The boss's words were not to be disputed. If he said it was a gift to him, then it was a gift to him.

"Boss, you are here. All the down jackets we made are here." The manager of the workshop was the owner of a clothing store in Chongshui County. However, the business of that store was not good, so Lu Linlang took it over.

Lu Linlang walked to the area where clothes were placed. She first looked at the fabrics. These were relatively less linting fabrics that were selected by Young Master Zhang. At this time, cotton was more expensive than down. Lu Linlang did not make these down jackets to sell. She wanted to give these down jackets to General He and let the soldiers who were defending against the enemy wear them.

The weather in the north is very cold in winter, and thieves always come to plunder the grass and grain at this time. They wear sheepskin, wolfskin and other animal skins, but the soldiers of Daqi do not have such conditions.

Moreover, she had heard Uncle Zhong and others say before that when they were at the border, what they worried about most during the New Year was the bandits who came to plunder the valley. That meant they had to go out to fight in thin clothes, and many times their comrades were not killed by the bandits, but frozen to death.

Lu Linlang was deeply touched and decided to make down jackets. If General He had not come, she would have asked Uncle Zhong to contact his former comrades and give them these clothes. The more warmth they had, the more security Daqi would have.

However, after General He came, he left Lu Linlang a place where she could contact them, so Lu Linlang planned to give the clothes directly to him and let him be responsible for distributing them. She would also secretly contact Uncle Zhong's former comrades to see if she could send some over. They were all once under Father Lu's command, and they were still ostracized in that environment. Perhaps they would even be arranged to be the vanguard in the battle against the bandits.
