Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Obviously, Xu Huaiyi thought so too. He sighed, "I guess if I continue to go to school, people from the Second Prince's faction will find reasons to contact me."

Gu Huanxi realized in an instant, "If this is true, then the Second Prince's group is not only good at pretending, but also very calm. I think you have offended the other few, so it is a good time to stand up now." .”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "This is also someone waiting to be picked up."

Gu Huanxi asked him, "What are you going to do?"

Xu Huaiyi said nonchalantly, "When soldiers come, we will block it, and when water comes, we will cover it up. Even if I am Master Sun's apprentice now, my position is naturally the same as that of the Sun family. I am not involved in team issues. He cannot win over me, and I will not vent his anger."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Gu Huanxi still reminded him, "Don't offend him if you can, otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to be surrounded on all sides."

Xu Huaiyi said, "I understand that our current wealth is not enough, and we can't use too many chips to compete with them. If we want to avoid being used as pawns, then we have to take the initiative and take advantage of the differences between their factions." There are various balances and constraints on each other, trying to make a way for oneself to survive.”

"Taking advantage of the situation?"

"Well, take advantage of the situation."

Gu Huanxi thought for a moment and nodded, "It's feasible."

After the couple finalized the matter, they talked about the things they had bought. In addition to the gifts given out last night, there were other things that Xu Huaiyi had always wanted to show off, but was too busy being intimate with, so he forgot about them, "Daughter-in-law Son, I bought cotton."

"Really?" Gu Huanxi sat up in surprise and started to put on clothes, "How much did you buy? Is the quality of cotton different from that of our time?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "I bought about twenty kilograms, which is enough for our family to make several pairs of cotton-padded clothes and trousers. The most important thing is that the cotton in the car can finally be used openly, and there is no need to cover it up with bedding or anything else." I stuffed reeds and straw inside, and stuffed them all with cotton. As for the quality, I don’t know how good it is. You can see for yourself later..."

"Well, where did you get it?"

"Didn't I tell you before that I asked the shopkeeper in the shop to help me find out? It was a coincidence that there happened to be a businessman from the northwest who came to the capital with furs in exchange for tea and salt. He also brought some cotton along the way, not much. , only about twenty kilograms, I want them all. According to the shopkeeper, there is no market for cotton in the capital. The nobles prefer silk cotton, and ordinary people are reluctant to spend money, so the cotton just falls into the air. "

"It's still not promoted enough. The price is neither high nor low, but it doesn't depend on both ends."

"By the way, guess what else I bought?"

Gu Huan was delighted to see him looking for credit, and asked cooperatively, "Is there anything else rare?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Songjiang cloth."

Gu Huanxi's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to put on her clothes. She got off the bed and went to the outside compartment. Sure enough, she saw two pieces of cloth on the table, one dark and one light. She touched it with her hands and found that the cotton was fine and soft. The texture is tight and the color is correct. It is indeed the top-grade Songjiang cloth among cottons.

Although clothes made of this material are not as luxurious and exquisite as silk and satin, they are more comfortable to wear and more elegant than linen and the like.

Xu Huaiyi followed and walked out, "What do you think?"

"Very good, is it expensive?"

"It's just like cotton. It just gets stuck in the middle and can't go up or down, so it's not ideal in the capital market. Maybe people in this dynasty are not used to wearing it?"

"It's still a matter of concepts and habits." Gu Huanxi picked up the dark horse and put it on him for gestures. "I'll make you a quilted robe later."

Xu Huaiyi happily agreed.

While eating, Gu Xiaoyu kept stealing glances. Gu Huanxi almost felt uncomfortable being stared at. She asked with a helpless smile, "What are you looking at, Xiaoyu?"

Gu Xiaoyu said, "Mom looks particularly beautiful today."

Gu Huanxi, "..."

What should I do if her mind suddenly wanders?

Xu Huaiyi laughed and said, "Xiaoyu is discerning, has he seen the silver hairpin on your mother's head, right? I bought it for my father, doesn't it taste good?"

Gu Xiaoyu thought to himself that he was really attracted not by the silver hairpin, but by his mother's dress today, which was a little different from before, but he still nodded.

Gu Huanxi calmly cleared his throat, "Let's eat while it's hot. There are a lot of things to do later."

After dinner, Xu Huaiyi first went to get an archery target, set it up in an open space, and taught Gu Xiaoyu how to practice step by step. After the two of them finished practicing, they were not idle, and took A Li with him out the door. After shopping around the tofu shop and the village, he gave the drawings to Carpenter Liu’s family and asked them to help make toys.

Carpenter Liu saw the business opportunities when he saw the drawings. The cart business is now very good, all thanks to Xu Huaiyi's credit. Now he does not dare to underestimate the drawings Xu Huaiyi produced.

After asking thoroughly about what I didn't understand, I couldn't help but bring up the matter of cooperation.

Xu Huaiyi didn't say anything about selling the drawings directly this time. After all, there is a huge market for toys. But if you open a store in the city without capital and strong connections, no matter how creative you are, you won't be able to make wedding dresses for others. He won't do anything to suffer losses.

Carpenter Liu obviously had the same concerns. Otherwise, when he was in Xujiacun, he would have gone to the county to open a shop. "Huaiyi, I listen to you. You tell me what to do."

If you follow capable smart people, you will never go astray.

Xu Huaiyi had no idea at the moment, "Uncle Liu, just do it first. I'll think about it later and we'll discuss it later. Opening a shop is not a trivial matter, and I don't have that much money on hand."

Carpenter Liu was not disappointed at all. On the contrary, he was even happier. It was better to be cautious. Being cautious only shows that you take it seriously. It would be rash to make a decision just by patting your head.

After coming out of Liu's house, Xu Huaiyi went to take a look at Zhuangzi again.

Xu Maoyuan stared here every day. When he saw him, he took him around in a circle. The courtyards on Zhuangzi had been surrounded. The area of ​​​​the circle was not small. The houses were built according to the drawings designed by Xu Huaiyi. Now most of them are built. The division of labor is clear and neat.

On the contrary, all the fruit trees on the hillside were planted, and this matter was left to Hu Yingjie. He was impatient and wanted to finish all the work in one day, so he was the most efficient.

The work was also done beautifully. Gu Huanxi even brought his two children to see it. Behind his back, he secretly sprinkled some of his daughter's tears as fertilizer, maybe they can all eat it next year.

Xu Huaiyi looked around and was very satisfied, "Uncle, you have taken the trouble."

Xu Maoyuan waved his hand, "I didn't bother, I just came here to take a look every day, but the villagers are really hardworking, especially the group of people who came with the Hu family boys, they worked early in the morning and worked late at night, more caring than working for their own family, one One person can support two people, and the salary of thirty cash per day is not a loss."

"Well, when everything is finished, I'll just send them a red envelope."

"Okay, this red envelope was not given out unjustly. When you come next time, it should be almost completed. It's just that the village is idle, which is a bit wasteful..."
