The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

If it is not loosened, it will be too rigid when played, and it is easy to get all tangled in the string, and it will become tighter and tighter.

If it is erected, it will become the legendary monochord harp.......

Over there, Li Shao pulled the silk thread according to what Li Fu said. Just to complete this task, most of the morning has passed.

Li Fu asked someone to bring beeswax and waxed the cow tendon string. Then he tied the rope around his waist according to the memory of the use of the monochord harp, picked up the slingshot and the cotton-picking hammer in one hand, and began to try to play with cotton.

Just the cotton-picking hammer, although made of wood, weighs more than ten pounds.

"Ding ding ding ding"

The cotton-picking hammer fell on the bowstring, making a clanging sound, and the cotton on the bowstring also flew up.

This thing is not only a physical job, but also a technical job.

The string passed through the flat cotton, and the cotton flew up slowly and lightly.

At the beginning, Li Fu felt fresh and didn't feel tired at all, and even hummed a song.

Flicking cotton~

Flicking half a pound of cotton into 88 taels!

He was tired before he finished singing the song.

This thing is more tiring than carrying heavy objects.

Li Fu was defeated.

"Uncle Wang?"

The children were puzzled.

It just started, why did it stop?

It looked good, and the cotton was indeed a lot fluffier.

"This thing, if you haven't practiced it, most people can't handle it." Li Fu looked embarrassed: "It's too strenuous. This hammer weighs more than ten pounds. If it's just the hammer that rises and falls, it's fine. This thing hits the cow tendon string, the bow string is pulled, and the slingshot needs to be balanced. Both hands need to exert force at the same time."

"Just for a while, my hands can't stand it."

Li Fu rubbed his wrists while speaking.

The people present were all precious and had never suffered from heavy work.

Li Shao took the initiative to step forward.

"My husband, let me try."

Li Shao still had confidence in himself. He had practiced martial arts since childhood, so he would definitely be able to handle it.

"Okay."

Li Fu took off the equipment on his body.

"This thing is not easy, you should be careful, just try it once, if it doesn't work, stop immediately." Li Fu helped Li Shao put on the equipment while admonishing.

"My husband, don't worry, I have practiced martial arts, so I know what to do."

Li Fu was slightly surprised.

Oh, I forgot about this.

It's been a long time since I got married, and I have never seen my wife wielding swords and guns in the house.

I forgot that the beauty in front of me was graceful and gentle, but she was also a martial artist. The muscle lines on her arms were even smoother than mine, and her body shape was...

Stop, don't think too much in broad daylight.

After Li Shao got started, she tried several times according to what Li Fu said, and found the trick.

For her, it was not difficult.

She played in the yard for about a quarter of an hour.

The children jumped for joy on the side, occasionally picking up a little cotton and watching curiously.

After being processed, it is softer than the freshly picked ones. This can be made into a quilt to cover the body, or spread as a mattress, which must be very comfortable.

Li Fu looked at the sweat on his wife's forehead and quickly picked up a handkerchief.

"Take a break."

Li Fu wiped the sweat off Li Shao.

"It's okay, I'm not tired, it's just that the weather is hot, and I sweat as soon as I work." Li Shao smiled.

"There's no rush for this, take your time." Li Fu persuaded again.

So embarrassing!!!

"Okay." Li Shao responded.

After taking off their equipment, several people sat under the shade of the tree, eating, drinking, talking and laughing.

Li Fu was sitting on a rocking chair, looking up at the sunlight coming through the gaps in the leaves.

Isn't it nice to have a day like this?

Li Chengqian and the others were eating the ice fruit in the bowl, which was not available in the palace.

Xiao Tao brought some canned loquats over.

After this meal, at noon, they had no appetite, so they simply ate something in the yard. They didn't want to take a nap, and thought about making the quilt quickly.

This time, Li Fu directly called Wu Liangye and the others over.

This kind of work is just for experience, but it's so tiring, so let the right person do it.

Someone has to learn how to fluff cotton, right? Otherwise, how can we expect them to do so much cotton later?

The prince and princess are really treated like cattle and horses.

Wu Liangye and his guards took turns.

Without experience, it would only take one person two quarters of an hour to fluff cotton. Even though Wu Liangye and his friends are martial artists, they are all grown men. To do this, they still need experience and some skill.

I guess they will learn how to fluff cotton.It only takes a day or two, and you can do it after you master the trick.

But then again, they are guards, and this thing is not something they can do.

We still need to find someone to do it on the farm.

Li Fu found Lao Zhao.

Let Lao Zhao find a down-to-earth and hardworking person on the farm to learn how to fluff cotton. After learning, the cotton picked from the fields must be handled properly. This kind of thing requires a family workshop.

After learning this skill, it will be a bit hard to do it in the future, but it can ensure that their family will not worry about food and clothing.

When Lao Zhao heard this, he patted his chest and smiled.

"My dear, don't worry. I'm looking for someone on the farm for this matter. I guess there are many people who are eager to learn it."

It's a skill that can support the family, and with the house as a foundation, it will also be a skill in the future. Judging from what my dear husband said, if I learn this job and do it at home in the future, it will be more than enough to support the family.

All day long, the cotton in the field was harvested and piled up in the warehouse. A lot of cotton was picked from two cotton plants last year. Li Fu had some idea of ​​the yield of one cotton plant, but not so much.

Before the cotton was picked, it looked like a small cotton ball from the outside. When you pull it out with your hands, you will know how much it is.

The cotton that has been fluffed was fixed again on the surface with threads. The dense silk threads fixed the fluffy cotton. The upper and lower layers were fixed together to form the quilt core.

"That's good. Go get two batches of silk from the warehouse and have someone make a quilt cover. Put her in it and it will be a good quilt." Li Fu said.

The children pinched the quilt core and found it was softer than all the quilts they had used before.

Moreover, it looked very easy to lift up.

"I'll ask them to come and measure the size and make a quilt cover according to this size." Li Shao said.

"Yes." Li Fu nodded.

"Tomorrow, find a few people in the house. In addition to the quilt, we also need to make a mattress." Li Fu said, "It's not needed now. Put it away after it's done and use it in winter."
