Chapter 33 Making Winter Clothes

It is a house with a front and a back. It looks bright and spacious. The yard in front of the house is full of flowers and plants.

Xinlan, are you at home? Sister-in-law Fu patted the door.

Sister-in-law, I'm at home. A soft and weak voice came from the room, and a beautiful woman with a slender waist and pale complexion walked out of the room.

Her voice was as weak and beautiful as hers, and she was slightly surprised when she saw Gu Chunzhu following behind Sister-in-law Fu.

Sister Fu pointed to Gu Chunzhu and introduced Luo Xinlan to each other, This is Xiaochengniang, this is Yingziniang, Xiaochengniang is here to ask you to make two sets of winter clothes for your child.

Sister-in-law... Luo Xinlan bit her lip hesitantly, as if she was afraid.

Yingziniang, I know that I may not have a good reputation in the village. I have changed now, and I am really good to my two children. I have bought cotton cloth and cotton. Please make two sets of winter clothes for my children. It's cold and the kids will freeze.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Chunzhu also pinched the soft spot in her heart. She is also a mother who loves her child, so naturally she couldn't bear to see the two children of the Su family without winter clothes.

Sister-in-law Fu also helped to say good things and patted Luo Xinlan's hand, I've agreed with her that I will give you sixteen pounds of brown rice, and I'm not a talkative person. I won't tell you anything.

Having said that, Luo Xinlan's face looked a little better, and the two of them were allowed to sit in the room.

Although the room is simple with only a bed and a cabinet for combing hair, it is very clean.

There was also a stretcher in front of the bed. She was embroidering something that looked like an interstitial screen. Gu Chunzhu looked at it in the past. It was a picture of a peony. It was lifelike and really beautiful.

Is this a job that was picked up in the town? Gu Chunzhu looked at it very rarely and didn't dare to reach out to touch it. Her hand was also rough and not delicate. If the embroidery surface is silk, it may be drawn when you touch it. obsolete.

Luo Xinlan was also worried that Gu Chunzhu would touch her, but she was relieved to see that she was just standing and looking.

He also answered her in a slow and soft voice, I got it from the town, I brought it back and made it at a lower price. It takes more than three months to embroider a pair of this size, and it only costs one or two taels of silver, enough for Yingzi and I to eat. wore.

It's not bad. Women have to work hard to earn money to support themselves. I'm still fishing and selling shrimp by the river, and I can earn more than 20 cents a day! Gu Chunzhu didn't look down on Luo Xinlan's orphan and widowed mother, and also talked about his own affairs.

Hearing what she said, the corners of Luo Xinlan's lips twitched slightly.

Seeing that they were able to chat, Mrs. Fu deliberately taunted herself and said, Every one of you has a small treasury. It seems that I have to go fishing for prawns earlier.

Brother Dafu can make money, you just need to take good care of the whole family. Gu Chunzhu said with curled lips.

Luo Xinlan also covered her lips, and her eyes agreed with Gu Chunzhu's words. Sister-in-law Fu didn't mix in when they saw what they said, leaving time for them to discuss the style of winter clothes and so on.

The two children, Xiao Cheng and An An, also run outside all day. Luo Xinlan has seen it many times and can roughly estimate the size, and the cotton can be worn in the coming year if it is slightly larger.

After finishing speaking, a six-day deadline was set, so Gu Chunzhu stopped disturbing Luo Xinlan's work, and returned to their respective homes together with Sister-in-law Fu.

Mother is back, mother is back. An An jumped in the yard and shouted, ran into the kitchen and ran back out to the yard to hold Gu Chunzhu's hand, A lot of people brought shrimp to the house.

Bring your mother to take a look. Gu Chunzhu's eyes lit up, this is the way to make money.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Su Wangqin wringing a wooden stick in a vat, and she said happily, Brother Wang, I have entrusted the matter of winter clothes to Ying Ziniang, just to spend some handmade money. What are you doing?

The tan leather has some mirabilite added in it. It takes ten days to soak the leather before it can be made into a fur jacket. Su Wangqin soaked the leather in water and put a lid on the tank.

Gu Chunzhu also didn't understand the matter of making leather, so after asking a question, he lowered his head to look at those river prawns, his eyes filled with joy, Who sent these for us to sell?

The third one caught three bowls in the morning and sent them first. There may be more in the afternoon, and Mother Chrysanthemum's uncle sent ten bowls. I'll take all of them on credit first. Su Wangqin said everything, suddenly Thinking about it, Mother heard from somewhere that we collect river prawns, and also sent five bowls over.

Mother would still go fishing for river shrimp? Gu Chunzhu pouted in dissatisfaction, knowing in his heart that Mrs. Su must have brought the shrimp that Mrs. Qiu caught.

Chunzhu... Su Wangqin rubbed his hands in embarrassment, We can't help accepting what others have.

Got it. Gu Chunzhu knew what he said was reasonable, but he was angry and didn't answer his words, so he went to deal with the pigs he bought in the morning.

This thing was stinky in the first place, and it was stuffed in a broken basket for a day. When I took it out and smoked it, An An ran to the door of the kitchen, holding on to the door frame and pulling her little face, Smelly, mother made things so stinky!

Bad girl, I won't kill you when my mother cleans it up. Gu Chunzhu pouted at her, rolled up his sleeves and started to clean up without fear of getting dirty.

This clean-up found that it was really cost-effective to put pigs into the water, pig hearts, pig lungs, pig intestines, pig stomachs, and some discarded pig skins. A lot of miscellaneous stuff.

Seeing that she was angry just now, Su Wangqin didn't even call Brother Wang, and she felt heavy in her heart. Now that she was in a good mood, she said flatteringly, Chunzhu, I'll boil hot water for you. It's easier for you to wash.

Gu

Chunzhu didn't stop him either. Washing the pork belly and intestines was a hassle. Those who needed hot water had to add some salt and wine to wash them more cleanly.

This way, I had already put in a lot of money for the gift of buying flower oil. Su Wangqin watched without saying a word, while Gu Chunzhu was busy.

Brother Wang, help me wash and tear off the oily fat from the large intestine. Gu Chunzhu pulled him to dry together, and the movements quickened. It took an hour to clean up the pile of sewage.

The internal organs are still best to be stir-fried. There are no onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers at home. Gu Chunzhu had to pass them through and put them in the water first.

She took out the big bone stick that had been chopped into five small pieces by the butcher with a pig chop knife from the broken basket. After blanching in water, she simmered it with a small fire. She cut the cooked pig heart into pieces and put it down to follow The big bone sticks boil together.

Chunzhu, what you cook and eat is really good. Su Wangqin, who helped to burn the fire, praised Su Wangqin.

These are all free when you buy flower oil, but it's a bit of waste wood. If you want to thoroughly boil the essence of the bones, you have to cook for several hours.

It's alright, I'll get the firewood, it's enough! Su Wangqin packed it down in one gulp.

Then brother Wang, look at the fire and I'll go fishing for shrimps. I don't need the principal to catch them. She said and clapped her hands, there was nothing he had to do on the stove.

Seeing that it was still early outside, Gu Chunzhu searched for the fishing rod hidden behind the kitchen door and prepared to go fishing for shrimps.
