A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Chapter 125 Gloves, Li's Business Acumen

As the saying goes, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood, and Lin He'er is currently sharpening her axe.

If you were to ask what you'd use the rope for, it would be to hook out a pair of gloves.

Lin He'er's fingers flew across the paper, and the rope, driven by the crochet hook, quickly crocheted the palm part. In a little while, the five fingers would also be finished.

Lin He'er was so engrossed in her work that she finished making a glove in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Holding the freshly made gloves, I put them on my right hand and tried gripping them back and forth. Great! My fingers were still very flexible even with the gloves on!

Lin He'er, wearing gloves, left the room and went to the courtyard to find Granny Li.

Granny, could you find me a good piece of fabric from the bag of scraps we bought before? Ideally, it should be white or blue.

The bag I'm making today needs an inner lining.

Following the instructions of his wife, Madam Li rummaged through the scraps of cloth she had previously purchased and found a piece of moon-white fabric. The fabric was only the size of a palm, but it was a rare piece of flowing moon brocade, a high-end material.

Madam, look at this piece. It's truly excellent material, but it's a bit small. I don't know if it will be of any use.

Lin He'er took the fabric handed to her by Madam Li and immediately took a liking to it. The fabric felt smooth and silky to the touch, unlike silk, but the feel was indeed quite nice. It would match her bag perfectly.

This is it! It fits perfectly!

Lin He'er took the fabric and was about to go back to her room to make handbags when Li called her back.

Madam, are you wearing a handkerchief?

You mean this? Lin He'er shook her head at Li Shi;

These are gloves, haven't you seen them before?

Madam Li noticed the gloves her wife was wearing; they resembled hand-covering garments she had seen before. However, these gloves had five fingers spread out, each covering one fingertip.

Seeing that the lady was wearing this, it didn't seem to affect her finger movements at all. I wondered if it was a new item made by the lady.

Madam, are these gloves a new item you came up with?

Judging from Li's expression, Lin He'er had never seen gloves before.

Could it be that no one in ancient times had figured out this thing?

Granny Li, have you never seen this in my hand before?

No, the hand-held garments I've seen don't resemble the ones in your hands, Madam.

I've seen others wear it before; it's called a hand protector. It's a cylindrical leather garment that completely covers the entire hand.

Wearing a jacket can keep you warm, but it makes it inconvenient to work!

After listening to what Li said, Lin He'er roughly understood the styles of ancient gloves.

In ancient times, gloves were only made to fully cover the hands. As for the gloves we wear, which allow the five fingers to be separated, it is unlikely that anyone has improved upon that.

Especially gloves made entirely of thread.

I call it gloves. I was bored in the room today, so I came up with this.

Lin He'er took off her gloves and handed them to Li.

Try it on and see how it feels to wear.

Madam Li took the gloves handed to her by the lady of the house and put them on her own hands.

I must say, it's really good. If you wear gloves when you're doing work, you're less likely to hurt your hands.

These gloves are convenient and practical, but they're a bit too warm to wear now. They'll be very comfortable to wear while working when it gets colder.

Madam, let's make these gloves and sell them at the shop.

Having served Lin He'er for a long time, Li had also learned some business acumen.

Seeing that Li Shi knew how to make money, Lin He'er couldn't help but wonder if Li Shi had been subtly changed by her after spending so much time with her!

That's certainly possible, but I'll finish what I'm doing now, and we'll discuss the details later.

After they finished talking and took the materials, Lin He'er went back to her room to make seashell bags.

Now that the tools and materials were ready, and everything was in place, Lin He'er took out the wooden box, removed the pearls from it, and, following the pattern, put on gloves and began to slowly make the bag.

Making this bag requires not only stringing the pearls one by one but also taking care of the lining. Lin He'er couldn't muster the speed to make this bag. Apart from eating lunch and leaving her room, she stayed in her room for the entire afternoon, working with her head down!

They worked on it until nightfall, and the shell bag was only half finished. So far, they haven't put a zipper on the bag yet.

Although the handbag is only a semi-finished product now, it already looks amazing. I think it will definitely satisfy the princess once it is finished!

That's all for today. Lin He'er packed her things and prepared to rest.

The next morning, everyone in the shop naturally began to busy themselves with their own tasks.

Mengxing bought the timber yesterday and started making boxes in the yard. Cao'er is also greeting customers in the front shop. Everyone is busy now.

Lin He'er continued working on the handbag she hadn't finished yesterday.

They worked on their tasks without disturbing each other for half a day, and Lin He'er finally finished the handbag.

Looking at the handbag in her hand, Lin He'er was completely captivated by its beauty!

Flawless! This bag is an absolutely elegant and beautiful item, and it would be a perfect match for a princess's status!

The finished package was placed in a wooden box, ready to be sent to the princess tomorrow.

After finishing making the bags, Lin He'er got up, stretched her body a little in the room, and then went out of the room.

Meng Xing was busy with work in the courtyard, so I didn't go up to disturb him and went straight to the shop in front.

Cao'er was free at the moment, sitting behind the counter with a silly grin on her face!

Grass, what makes you so happy?

Cao'er was lost in her thoughts when she suddenly heard the madam calling her. She quickly stopped smiling, embarrassed, and asked the madam what she needed.

Having nothing to do, I came to take a look around.

Hey, Grass, what are you wearing on your head?

Is it a hairpin?

Lin He'er noticed that Cao'er, who usually dressed plainly, was wearing a hairpin today, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Hmm, Hmm, when Cao'er heard the lady mention the hairpin she was wearing, she couldn't help but blush!

Hmm? Something's not right with Cao'er! She only asked about the hairpin, why is she blushing?

Was the hairpin a gift from someone?

Lin He'er seemed to have discovered a new continent and moved closer to Cao'er.

Madam, is this not suitable for me?

When Cao'er saw that the lady was staring at the hairpin in her hair, she thought that the lady did not like her wearing jewelry.

After all, the lady never wears these things on a regular basis.

Seeing that Cao'er had misunderstood, Lin He'er quickly waved her hand and said;

No, it looks great on you, that's why your wife glanced at it a few more times.

Cao'er, you should dress up more often. After all, you are the face of our shop. If you dress up nicely, the customers will see you and it will make our shop look good!

Upon hearing what the lady said, Cao'er blushed with embarrassment.

Grass, someone gave you that hairpin, didn't they?

Lin He'er winked at Cao'er, eager to know which one was pursuing her family member without her knowledge.

Madam, I...

Cao'er hesitated to speak. The hairpin was indeed a gift from someone, but she couldn't reveal who gave it to her right now, otherwise it wouldn't be good for her reputation!

Cao'er was afraid that the lady would look down on her again, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do!
