Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around
Chapter 208 Building a Mountain
Li Dong's woodworking factory began to increase production, selling looms in the Great Yan Kingdom, with the Ministry of Revenue operating. The woodworking factory once again expanded its production area.
It was late autumn, and Xiaotuanzi was making cotton-padded clothes for the winter. Xiaowangzhuang sent all the cotton they had harvested, except for what they used themselves, to Guoguo. Guoguo asked, "Does everyone have cotton-padded clothes to wear? Does everyone have quilts to sleep on?" Wang Youzhi: "I know. Everyone has made cotton-padded clothes, but I don't know if anyone has quilts to sleep on." Xiaotuanzi: "No, we won't collect them. We'll take them back and distribute them. Every family should have a quilt to sleep on." Wang Youzhi: "Okay." Xiaotuanzi then said, "Let's build a greenhouse and grow vegetables for the winter. Let's plant ten acres of greenhouse vegetables first." Xiaonabao took out some plastic sheeting and gave it to Wang Youzhi. He then sent someone to teach him how to build a greenhouse.
Guoguo had a good sleep, but Yeheng didn't come back all night.
Guoguo got up, had breakfast, and went to the store with Yingchun Dongshuang. The cotton-padded clothes on the market were all ordinary cotton-padded clothes, sold to ordinary people.
Guoguo designed a high-end cotton coat at the table. There were three waiters upstairs and four downstairs, excluding Guoguo.
Guoguo drew a long, clean-lined coat for women, in black and beige. Little Tuanzi went home decisively. He found Chai Tao and said, "Let's make a sample coat first."
Then he went to find Li Dong to make clothes racks. Guoguo finally stopped to rest. He thought about what Ye Heng had been doing these days, and how busy he was.
In the afternoon, Guoguo went to see his great grandfather, and Xiahua said, "Your great grandfather went to the mountain." The little kid started playing with the child, "Sister Xiahua, does the baby have a name yet?"
Xia Hua said, "I got it. Your great-grandfather gave it to you. It's Bailing." Little Tuanzi thought: White-collar worker? Xia Hua: Bailing, the spirit of the lark. Little Tuanzi: Oh. What about the full name? It's better to call you Xiaoxi, but that doesn't sound good either. Call you Xiaoyan, the swallow's Yan. Xia Hua: Well, Xiaoyan sounds better, so let's call you Yanyan. Even though it's also a bird, Yanyan sounds better. Let's call you Yanyan. The full name is Chai Siyan. Little Tuanzi: Chai Siyan, sounds good. "Yanyan, this name sounds good, right? Hehe, it's a bird anyway. Great-grandfather wants you to fly quickly, fly out and see the scenery." Xia Hua: Dumbfounded, what an explanation.
Xia Hua had a baby, so Chai Zhen had no excuse not to go out. He had to go up the mountain to oversee the work. Xue Zhi and Lu Wei's teams were both working on the house, and there were so many men in black, so he had to go. The school was huge, spanning two mountains, so there was no room for slacking. Some men in black also had to mow grass, clear the land, plant crops and vegetables, and build roads. It was a lot of work.
In early October, Xiaotuanzi ordered Li Biaotou and his men to return to Taohua Village, loading ten carts of grain, ten carts of glass, and a set of spinning and looms. The instructions were clearly written. They were to rest for two days at home before returning with cotton, leaving 30% at home and bringing 70% with them. Li Biaotou and his men became transport crews. Each of them was given 500 taels of silver for their families' expenses, a total of 17 people. Fifty men in black accompanied them. They were expected to return in mid-November.
The embroidery workshop at Guoguo's residence had begun making cotton-padded clothes. Every child in the family had one, two sets of cotton-padded clothes each, with a single layer of clothing to cover them.
Machine-made clothes are very fast and suitable for the general public, while high-end clothes are all hand-sewn.
Little Milk Bag also designed cotton-padded jackets, both for men and women. The latest down jackets are light, warm, and Xia Hua and Ying Chun are wearing them. They also made large down jackets for the two children, much to the delight of the elders. The children are all made of cotton and look like cotton cuddles in their clothes. Guoguo also has a cotton-padded jacket, made by Old Lady Li, fearing she'd get too cold. As the elders say, thin is cold, thick is warm. Guoguo is two and a half years old and runs around every day. Old Lady Li was particularly concerned, making her a large and thick cotton-padded jacket. Little Tuanzi secretly asked Chai Tao to make her a nice outfit, both inside and out, for the New Year, and Guoguo keeps it in her space.
The old teachers were all graduates of the Hanlin Academy, knowledgeable and insightful. The children worked very hard. After school in the afternoon, they went out to help the adults sell barbecue. The girls learned to make clothes and embroider. They all cherished their hard-earned lives. In the evening, the adults studied for half an hour, just listening to the teachers' lectures. Some even learned to write.
Every month, the children have two days off to play. Whenever they have free time, they set up barbecue stalls together. They earn a lot of money every month, and Xiaotuanzi lets them save it for themselves. When they grow up, they can do whatever they want; they have the money.
There were plenty of vegetables, sweet potatoes, and potatoes in the cellar, so we could eat and sell them as we pleased. Guoguo only charged the cost. I thought about not charging, but I was afraid the children would learn bad habits, so Xiaotuanzi did. I encouraged the children to study hard, improve every day, and develop in all aspects.
Ye Heng finally came back that night, looking extremely tired. After dinner, he went to rest. Guo Guo followed him and asked, "Brother Ye, what did you do? You look so tired." Ye Heng turned around, picked up Guo Guo and said, "Dealing with matters at court." "I banished Concubine Ma to the cold palace. The second prince was also forced to live outside the palace, and my brother assigned a few eunuchs to take care of him. The other princesses were better, but they had too many trivial matters and were annoying. The emperor was reluctant to let them go, so I had to deal with it. I had to pave the way for Xiaodong. Xiaodong should be back in a year, and I can't let Xiaodong get hurt again."
Little Dumpling: "That's right. Brother Dong has suffered. Now that you adults are here, you should clear the way for little Brother Dong." "Hmph, what good is it for the Emperor to have so many women? They're always scheming and harming others." Ye Heng watched Guoguo and listened to Baozi's talk. He wasn't tired anymore. He smiled softly and said, "Our family is still better. Those people in the palace are nothing." Little Milk Bao and Ye Heng returned to their room and went to the space. They both took a shower and put on pajamas. Little Dumpling warmed milk for each of them. They shared a durian and went back to their rooms to sleep. When they woke up, it was still dark. Ye Heng went outside to see the crops in the fields. It was time for harvest, and the men in black were out working. They were shearing sheep, collecting eggs, and picking vegetables. The ginseng was so big you couldn't recognize it. It looked like it had grown for a thousand years. Ye Heng plucked one, its whiskers still attached. It was a whole ginseng, ready to be sent to the Emperor. He helped pick the vegetables. He also learned how to farm. Hard work pays off. Farming is still less troublesome.
Guoguo also got up and ran out to jog along the edge of the field. Yeheng saw them and said, "These ginsengs are really strong! Look how big they are." Little Tuanzi, upon hearing this, walked over and saw that the big white radish was ginseng. She had forgotten, "Let's pull it out. Plant something else." Yeheng said, "Leave a few for the others." "That's fine," they said. "The two of them pulled off more than ten baskets." Guoguo took a ginseng root, placed it in a glass bottle, and marinated it in white wine. She also added goji berries.
There was a purple ginseng plant nestled among the white ginseng seeds, and Xiaotuanzi let it grow. He saved it for later use. He found a large vat and placed all the other ginseng plants in it. He covered it with a lid, and Yeheng sealed the gaps with mud.
"Oh, it's almost Chinese New Year again!" Little Tuanzi sighed. Ye Heng: Missing home? "Not really, I'm just too busy and haven't had enough fun." "Let me take you out to play and relax today," Little Tuanzi said like a grown-up. "That's fine, let's go to the mountains." Ye Heng: You should go to see the mountains, not just relax. Okay, let's go out. Little Tuanzi took Ye Heng out to wash, change clothes, eat, and then they rode out.
