"Yes, ma'am." Ling'er listened to the instructions and took down a large bag of things from the carriage, entered the camp, untied it and handed a pair of socks to Shen Yuyu's hand.
Shen Yuyu took the socks and showed them to everyone with her almond-shaped eyes blinking.
"You don't need hats, but you can definitely use these socks." He said while stretching the socks to show elasticity and tolerance.
"Did you see? These socks are soft, comfortable and have just the right amount of elasticity. Everyone says they are absolutely perfect?"
The socks of ancient people were just two pieces of cloth sewn together, which did not fit the feet and were not warm. Shen Yuyu felt that it was time to improve in this aspect.
So while I was pregnant and bored at home, I whittled a few pairs of woolen needles out of bamboo and started knitting.
As he spoke, Xiang grabbed Ji Xun's feet and lifted them up. Then he took off the socks on his feet and put the pair of woolen socks on him.
Naturally, Ji Xun did not dare to resist his wife's order, so he put on these strange-looking socks to everyone.
The length of these socks is halfway up the calf, and the wool is dyed with comfrey, a beautiful purple color.
After putting it on, Shen Yuxi excitedly held up Ji Xun's feet and showed them to everyone, while blinking his big eyes and asking Ji Xun.
"How is it? Is it comfortable? Does it fit your feet or not? Is it warm or not?"
Ji Xun is an ancient man. If he didn't really dote on his own woman, how could he expose his feet like this?
When he saw Shen Yuyu asking, he raised his feet and looked around. After understanding, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad, really good."
“It fits your feet, is warm and extremely comfortable.”
"Try putting on your shoes." Shen Yuyu said as he put on Ji Xun's shoes, "Ah Xun got up and took a few steps to see if it feels comfortable."
Ji Xun stood up and took two steps, which was indeed good.
He praised sincerely, "These socks fit my feet, are warm, and are not cumbersome. They are really great." As he said this, he put on the other one.
No one didn't believe Ji Xun's words. Everyone was full of curiosity and looked like they wanted to try it too.
"Yes, yes, I knitted a pair for everyone." Shen Yuyu said and looked at Ling'er, who hurriedly took out several pairs of woolen socks of the same color but different lengths from the bag.
Shen Yuyu picked the longest pair and handed it to Emperor Qi Heng. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is specially knitted for you. Please try it quickly."
"Okay, okay, Ah Xun said it's comfortable and warm, so it must be comfortable and warm." He said as he took it, and then prepared to take off his shoes.
"A Qin's sister, Jiang Yu'e's sister." Shen Yu'e took out another two pairs of wool socks and handed them to A Qin and Jiang Yu'e, "Your feet are about the same length, and these two pairs of wool socks are the same length. You can choose whatever you want.'
"Thank you, Sister Yuyu." A Qin and Jiang Yuyu also quickly took it.
It didn't take long for the three of them to put the woolen socks on their feet. After feeling it, they were all so surprised that they were beyond words.
This is so comfortable!
Emperor Qi Heng, on the other hand, took off his socks and put them on and off. He felt that they were extremely elastic and did not restrict his feet. He was extremely satisfied and admired them over and over again.
"Why is this girl so smart? Whatever she does is so special and always gives people huge surprises."
"This pair of woolen socks is really an amazing invention!" Ah Qin and Jiang Yuyu also jumped around in the socks and praised them greatly.
For a while, several people in the camp were walking around with their waists raised, holding their robes and skirts, staring at the socks on their feet.
"Sister Yu Yu, how is this 'woven'? You can teach us." Jiang Yu Yu and A Qin expressed great interest and looked at Shen Yu Yu expectantly.
Shen Yuyu took out a scarf that he was knitting and showed it to everyone.
"It's actually not difficult. You need a pair of needles and a ball of wool to knit this thing.'
"This kind of needle is cut from ordinary bamboo. It should be smooth and without burrs."
As he spoke, he took out a woolen bamboo and handed it to A Qin and Jiang Yuyu. The two held it in their hands and examined it carefully.
This kind of needle is as thin as a stick, as long as two palms, and is smooth and delicate as if it has been oiled. The two of them were curious.
Shen Yuyu explained, "This is not oil, but beeswax, which can provide lubrication.'
As he spoke, he took out a small lump of beeswax and put it on the bamboo needle, and then started knitting with great flexibility with his orchid fingers.
The knitting needle moves up and down like a butterfly passing through a flower, which is dazzling to see.
While weaving, it is popular with Aqin and Jiangyueucalyptus.
"This thread is spun from cashmere. You should know better than me how to spin it and dye it. I don't have any special skills. It's just a little thicker than ordinary yarn."
Jiang Yuyu stared with interest at Shen Yuyu's flexible hands winding the hook and needle, and asked curiously: "How is this knitted? My eyes are dizzy.'
"This is not difficult. I'll teach you when I have time." Shen Yuyu put away her work and put the unfinished scarf into the bag.
The emperor and Ji Xun were still there, walking back and forth, feeling the woolen socks on their feet that did not slip or loosen, and felt extremely comfortable and warm.
"Axun, father, sit down quickly, I have some good things for you." Shen Yue smiled and waved to them.
"Really? Is there anything else good?" Emperor Qi Heng's interest was completely aroused, and he hurriedly came over and sat down on the armchair.
At this time, Ling'er took out a few pairs of boots that were a little longer than socks from the bag and distributed them to everyone one by one according to the size.
"These are called "snow boots. I made them with the help of a shoe shop in Kang'an City before. One pair for each person."
Shen Yuyu is thoughtful. She and Jiang Yuyu went to Yunmengze together, so they paid attention to the size of her shoes. The other people were all relatives who lived together, so they naturally knew it.
The shoes were also made early in the morning and were kept until Emperor Qi Heng arrived before taking them out together.
Shen Yuyu picked up a shoe and introduced it to everyone.
“The outer layer is made of first-layer sheepskin, which is waterproof, snowproof and warm, and the inner part is made of extremely warm sheepfold wool~~”
"I don't need to say more about how comfortable it is. You might as well try it on your feet."
Jiang Yuyu took the shoe and curiously put his hand inside the boot and touched it. It was indeed full of wool and extremely thick.
Just as he was about to put them on, Emperor Qi Heng couldn't wait to put them on, and stood up and started walking step by step. Take a step and praise him.
“Comfortable~~so comfortable!” “Fit~~fits so well!”
"It's warm~~ It's so warm. It's softer and warmer than stepping on a sheep.'
Ji Xun had put on his shoes now, and he wanted to praise them, but Emperor Qi Heng had already praised all the concerns about these shoes, and he really couldn't find the words.
So he rubbed Shen Yuyu's little head.
"Yu Yu, you have such a great mind, where do you get so many fantastic ideas?"
"Don't you love doing business? In the future, when the war subsides and the country becomes stable, the business of snow boots and woolen socks will definitely become popular."
Ah Qin and Jiang Yue also walked, jumped and clapped their hands.
"Yes, yes, such a wonderful thing must be easy to sell."
Shen Yue laughed twice and felt that he could indeed consider it, maybe it would actually work.
There were boots in ancient times, but how could they be so soft and delicate? They were just sewn from sheepskin and were stiff and not warm at all.
Woolen socks are even worse. No one knows how to weave them.
Just when everyone thought this was the best thing, Shen Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have it." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Ling'er again.
