Chapter 43 Horror Enhancement

Shen Ye raised his head when he heard the noise and glanced at his mother who suddenly became energetic. Then he lowered his head and continued to copy the book. The task set for today was not finished yet.

After Shen Qi cleaned himself up, he entered the house and saw his mother weaving and his eldest brother copying books. He took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang. He quietly stood opposite his eldest brother and watched him write.

Yu Xiaoxiao had already lit candles to illuminate the room.

Yu Xiaoxiao got up and stretched her muscles, then took the candlestick and went to the kitchen to cook.

If Yu Xiaoxiao had not eaten two meals of dumplings today, she would have just used dumplings to get through it that night.

I heated up the leftover vegetables from the New Year's Day and cooked a bowl of soup. I ate the vegetables and drank the soup with twists in the evening.

After dinner, Shen Ye hurriedly finished the remaining copy before going back to the house to freshen up and rest.

This was the case at Yu Xiaoxiao's house in the next few days. After the New Year, people quickly became active.

Yu Xiaoxiao had already knitted two pieces of cloth. Looking at the snow that had not yet melted, Yu Xiaoxiao took advantage of the few days left to make clothes for the family of three.

Back to the topic, at Yu Xiaoxiao’s terrifying weaving speed, the linen thread consumed is very fast visible to the naked eye.

It’s been almost a year, so imagine how much I have saved.

I still followed the habits of previous years. After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was time to liquidate the small treasury once a year.

From now on, the restaurant will no longer accept eggs and chickens from retail customers, and will get them directly from Yu Xiaoxiao.

Because Yu Xiaoxiao was too busy, most of the work at home fell on Shen Ye during this period. Even selling linen was done by Shen Ye. If the whole family hadn't gone to burn charcoal and buy it during that period, Yu Xiaoxiao would Everyone is weaving like crazy.

As a result, the demand will be greater, but at the same time, more money can be earned.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Yu Xiaoxiao plans to have a good rest these days. After the Chinese New Year, it will be a new year.

This year, Yu Xiaoxiao saved a total of 58 taels of silver, 6 strings of coins, and 492 copper coins.

But even so, it only allowed Yu Xiaoxiao to use up all the remaining twine on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao had just made two new sets of clothes and a pair of shoes for each of the two children, so she had to stop and collect the flax rods and spin the flax threads.

In this regard, Yu Xiaoxiao said that they are still useful, so why throw them away? We are not from a wealthy family. Wouldn't it be good to use these clothes to make shoes?

Soon the snow completely melted, and the villagers began to run all over the mountains and plains, either digging wild vegetables for food or cutting hemp stalks to sell.

Fortunately, such crazy results are gratifying. Just by selling linen, Yu Xiaoxiao made more than 48 taels.

It was still three taels of silver per person and 350 copper coins for food expenses. After discussion, it was decided that each person would save fifteen taels for the family.

Suddenly free, Yu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do, so she decided to continue making clothes for her family.

Of course, even restaurants can't eat all the chickens and eggs raised during the sinking period. The extra chickens and eggs are sold to villagers, who then take them and sell them in bulk in nearby villages and towns.

On the morning of the Chinese New Year, Yu, Xiaoxiao and the three of them all put on new clothes. It was the first time and they were all very happy.

As for the patched clothes I changed into, I don’t plan to throw them away.

Sighing, Yu Xiaoxiao speeded up the movements of her hands, thinking that the weaving speed would have to be accelerated this year, and it would not be good to leave the twine for a long time. It must be used up as soon as possible, and it cannot be wasted.

One person should do a bunt first to relieve the embarrassment of not having enough clothes, and then do the rest slowly.

Every day when I open my eyes, I am weaving. Except for eating and going to the toilet, I don't stop for a moment. The speed of weaving is so fast that it leaves an afterimage, and I am very familiar with the loom.

Except that Yu Xiaoxiao made an abnormally large amount of money this year, the other two were normal. If they didn't have to pay taxes every year, Yu Xiaoxiao felt that her family could save more money.

Since hiring someone, they no longer clean it every half a month. Instead, every five days, Yu Xiaoxiao asks Shen Qi to lead someone to clean the chicken coop, and then collect plant ashes in the village. The ashes left over from the cooking fire are used to sprinkle on the chicken coop for disinfection.

Of course, Yu Xiaoxiao also took care of Shen Qi's request for help. When Fifth Aunt Zi's house and Aunt Li's house came to sell hemp sticks, Yu Xiaoxiao specifically asked them if they wanted to come.

The salary set for the two of them was three hundred cash per month, which was not too much. After Shen Qi raised a certain number of chickens, Yu Xiaoxiao went to the big restaurant to discuss it with the purchasing manager, and paid tribute by the way. It took five taels of silver to win this cooperation.

After turning all the hemp rods into twine, Yu Xiaoxiao started weaving non-stop. Yu Xiaoxiao carefully put away this year's new twine and used all the leftovers from previous years.

It can even be said that Yu Xiaoxiao can weave a piece of cloth for you with her eyes closed.

In fact, in the past few years, only half of the twine used for spinning was used, but seeing how enthusiastic the villagers were, Yu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to continue collecting.

Shen Ye saved 29 taels of silver, 2 strings of coins and 136 copper plates.

After all, New Year brings new clothes, right?

These leisurely days make Yu Xiaoxiao feel that the sky is bluer, the snow is whiter, and it’s not even that cold...

Because of her improved attributes, Yu Xiaoxiao can now weave more than seven times as much cloth as a good weaver. Basically, a woman with fast hands can weave two pieces of cloth in a month, but Yu Xiaoxiao can weave 14 pieces in a month. , you can imagine how terrifying it is.

This allowed Shen Qi's chickens to remain safe and sound until now.

No matter how much, Yu Xiaoxiao has no other choice.

It was also from this experience that Yu Xiaoxiao deeply understood the truth. You can't be lazy at ordinary times, and you have to do everything you need to do. Otherwise, you won't know how terrible it is until you cram in the door.

At this point, Yu Xiaoxiao still has 40 taels of broken silver, 6 strings of coins and 142 copper plates left.

Shen Qi saved 34 taels of silver, 1 string of coins and 658 copper plates.

At this point, what I said years ago that I wanted to enjoy life has been put on hold.

This year, Shen Ye is thirteen years old and Shen Qi is ten years old. It is also the fifth year that Yu Xiaoxiao has traveled through time.

After that, Yu Xiaoxiao asked Shen Qi to deliberately control the number of chickens he raised. One was because he was afraid that if he raised too many chickens, his hands would be ruined, and the other was because he was afraid that if he raised too many chickens, he would not be able to take care of them and develop diseases such as chicken plague. .

When the two heard about it, they thought it was a good thing, so they hurriedly agreed and came to work the next day.

The Yu Xiaoxiao family took advantage of this time to buy back the food they had eaten this year and the cloth they had saved.

Everyone took out his money box and counted his own little treasury.

Finally, the craze for buying hemp poles has passed. I feel like I can’t bear it anymore every year.

The clothes of the two children are now very ill-fitting. I didn't notice it before, but I have noticed it now, but I can't let them dress like this anymore. Not only are they uncomfortable, but they are also funny to look at.

Shen Ye was left with 11 taels of silver, 1 string of coins and 786 copper plates.

Shen Qi was left with 16 taels of silver, 1 string of coins and 308 copper plates.

Yu Xiaoxiao’s family now has 1,231 taels.

Yu Xiaoxiao put away the money box containing the family's money, and then sat back down in her seat...
