Chapter 18 Small jackets and military coats
Thinking of Western snacks, Qixun thought of a question: "Second brother, you have caught so many chickens, but you don't have any eggs?"
"Yes, I have no place to store it, so it's all in Uncle Lu's back. He said he would give me half of it."
You can't count on milk. If you want to supplement protein, eggs and tofu are the best choices.
Her family had raised a few chickens before, but when her father Qiuwei was in high school, he slaughtered all the chickens for the guests at home.
I'll have to buy some chicks later.
Now that my family is very poor, there are really a lot of things that need to be done to live a good life.
Now the food problem has been solved. Although the accommodation is not that good, at least it is safe to keep out the wind and rain. The next priority is to wear warm clothes.
Qixun then decided on the rabbit.
Rabbit fur is a good thing. Raising rabbits is actually a good choice. They reproduce quickly and are easier to raise than chickens. Later, she made a spinning wheel and spun rabbit yarn. With the yarn, she can knit sweaters, scarves and gloves.
Socks may be able to form an industrial chain and solve some employment problems for Yanjia Village.
Tribesmen farm the land just to keep themselves warm. If they want to save some money, most people can only work part-time.
In fact, the key lies in money.
Qixun said to Gong Yuhao: "Second brother, this time, pick the two rabbits with the best fur and keep them at home. In the future, we will go into the mountains and catch more rabbits."
Gong Yuhao said there was no problem.
Lingsu killed the chicken and made soup, then drove the two of them out of the kitchen.
Qi Xun simply went back to his room and started drawing a drawing of a spinning wheel on the Kang table.
She is proficient in mechanical manufacturing and has the habit of collecting. Basically, she has a very complete collection of ancient mechanical drawings, from civilian to military. The structural drawings are all in her mind. So whether it is a bow and arrow, a spinning wheel or a weaving wheel, it is very important to her.
In other words, it’s just a hands-on matter.
It's a pity that I don't have carpentry tools at home.
She missed her own space very much.
Seeing her writing and drawing there, Lingyu came over curiously: "Fourth sister, what are you drawing?"
"Spinning wheel. Didn't my second brother catch a lot of rabbits? I want to raise rabbits, and then spin rabbit wool to knit sweaters and trousers. When the weather gets colder, I can wear them under cotton clothes, which are light, comfortable and warm."
After rolling out the noodles, Gongyu Mingxi, who was sitting on the kang and continuing to sew cotton-padded clothes, laughed and said, "Why do you kid think that one thing is all the same?"
Qixun smiled and said: "Mom, it's not that I think too much about your daughter. The key is that I have strong mobility. Although the third sister and younger sister are both powerful, obedient and sensible, and are your caring little cotton-padded jackets, I don't
It’s the same, I’m wearing a military overcoat, it doesn’t look close to the body and doesn’t look good, but it’s practical for me.”
What the hell is a military coat?
Gong Yumingxi gave her an angry look and didn't bother to talk to her anymore.
In short, this child is very naughty to begin with, and as soon as he regains the memory of his previous life, he becomes even more naughty.
That's all, let her do whatever she likes.
While Qi Xun was drawing the picture, he asked Gong Yu Mingxi: "Mom, is there a carpenter in our village?"
"Yes, the clan leader's branch has a carpenter's room. Both his father and his son are carpenters, and their craftsmanship is pretty good. Why, do you want someone to make your spinning wheel?"
Qixun shook his head: "I'll do it myself. I just want to borrow a set of woodworking tools from someone else."
Gong Yumingxi refused: "That can't be done. People have trouble with eating. How can you lend it out? Besides, you are a little girl. Even if someone can borrow it, you won't worry."
This is a problem.
There are a lot of things she needs to make, and since she will need frequently used woodworking tools in the future, it is best to buy them herself.
It's a pity that I don't have any money now.
So Guan Jian is still money.
After Qixun asked who the carpenter's family was, he planned to ask them tomorrow how much silver a set of tools would cost. When he saved up some money, he would buy a set.
In addition, some parts are made of iron and need to be customized in a blacksmith shop.
She planned to draw the drawing of the spinning wheel first and then the component drawings.
Seeing the sun setting and the room getting dark, Gongyu Mingxi asked her to put away the paper and pen: "I'll draw again in the daytime tomorrow."
If there is not enough light, it will hurt your eyes whether you are reading or writing or drawing.
While they were talking, Grandma Zuo's family brought eggs, half a basket full of eggs, which made Qixun extremely happy.
The grandma of the Zuo family gossiped with Gongyu Mingxi: "Your little brother was detained by his father to study, but he really didn't realize that this kid is a good hunter. My eldest son came back today and brought so many prey.
This has never happened before, and it really shocked me. The eldest son seemed to be praising your little erlang, saying that this kid is very capable. My eldest son actually took advantage of the little erlang today.
"
When his son was praised, Gongyu Mingxi felt very beautiful in his heart, but he was humble on his face: "What does he know as a little person? It's just Brother Lu who takes care of him. It should be our little boy who takes advantage of his Uncle Lu."
"
Grandma Zuo's family said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me. If it weren't for Xiao Erlang, how could we get so many prey today? Da Lang said he would go to the county town to sell them tomorrow, but he could still sell them for more than one tael of silver. It happened to be him.
Dad's medicine is gone. I was worried about it before, but now I don't have to worry about the money to buy it."
In the past, when grandpa was still alive, grandpa of the Zuo family used his help to take care of his health. Many medicines could be collected on the mountain, so there was no need to spend much money. In the past few years after grandpa passed away, grandpa of the Zuo family had money to pay for medical advice.
It cost a lot.
Qixun then thought of the medical skills of his third sister. Even though his grandfather was a retired old doctor, in terms of medical skills, the third sister was probably better than him.
Qi Xun then said: "Go back and ask Third Sister to check Grandpa's pulse and see if the medicine needs to be adjusted."
Gongyu Mingxi also nodded: "Let Lingsu show it to her grandpa."
Seeing the grandma of the Zuo family wondering, Gongyu Mingxi smiled and explained: "The third girl also learned medical skills from her grandfather since she was a child. Her grandfather said privately that she was extremely talented in medical skills, but she was young before.
, and she is from a girl’s family, so we didn’t mention it to the outside world. She is now considered to be a master of medicine. Her medical skills are no worse than those of her grandfather. In the past, I didn’t trust her to treat people, and it was not convenient for her to live in a girl’s family.
Your grandpa hasn't adjusted the prescription for more than a year, so I didn't mention it. But I think it's time to adjust the prescription. Your grandpa is not an outsider, and Lingsu can be regarded as someone he grew up with.
My granddaughter, it’s not a big deal to treat my grandpa.”
The grandma of the Zuo family was very happy after hearing this. Old Gongyu was an imperial doctor from the capital. Since Gongyu Mingxi said that Lingsu's medical skills were no worse than her grandfather's, she must be excellent.
She hurriedly said: "Then I have to thank you girl Su. This autumn, her grandfather is not feeling well anymore. He has been taking the previous prescriptions, but there is no improvement. Dalang Yuan also said that he would save some money later.
, take the old man into the county town to find a medical center and then take a look."
Gongyu Mingxi then ordered Qixun: "Please help your third sister to watch the fire, and ask your third sister to go with your grandma to give your grandpa a look. If you adjust the prescription, your Uncle Lu will be able to prepare it when he goes to the county tomorrow."
Catch the medicine and bring it back."
Qixun went to call Lingsu.
Lingsu naturally responded.
