"Madam, thank you." Early the next morning, Su Shuilin put on the cotton bag sewn last night, carefully went downstairs, and thanked the shopkeeper's wife who was having breakfast.
"Where are you, you are polite." The shopkeeper's wife is also docile, especially after the two wolf cubs subdued her two husky skin children, their attitude towards Su Shuilin is naturally better than others. a few points.
"If the girl needs more, I have some more. You're welcome." Although the shopkeeper's wife didn't know what Su Shuilin did with the cotton, the owner of the inn knew to respect the privacy of the guests. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't ask what the guest doesn't want to say.
"Thank you madam." Su Shuilin nodded and smiled.
I used those white cottons last night and sewed six cotton bales. Since there is no absorbent paper, the effect is naturally not as good as the cotton cloth used before. However, it is much better than pure white cotton. At least one night, she changed it only once, and there was no leakage.
After changing the cotton bag, she washed it with water and dried it on the window grille. Under the scorching summer sun, it doesn't take half a day to get it dry and loose enough to be reused. However, the more you use it, the harder it is. Then it needs to be disassembled, and the cotton inside is loosened with beef tendon silk, and it can be sewn for use.
In a word, Su Shuilin is very satisfied that he can use such a cotton bag at present. After all, from the mouth of the maid who cleaned the room, she learned that the women here are all cloth bags sewn with grass and wood ash when they come to Sunflower Water. White cotton is sewn into it as a sunflower water pad, which can only be used by a noble lady. Hearing that, Su Shuilin felt ashamed. Well, she really doesn't know, but even now that she understands, the thought of making a cloth bag under her body with plant ash makes her a little embarrassed.
So... Su Shuilin clenched his fists, next spring, there must be a piece of the two acres of fertile land to grow cotton. As for how to grow cotton, when you move your house, go to Shusi to buy some books on farming and study it well. If the two want to truly integrate into the farm life of Fanhua Town, they must not understand farming. Besides, she doesn't think that someone like Lin Siyao... er, killer, can do farming. Therefore, the farm life of the two can be described as long and demanding.
…
Lin Siyao still commutes to and from Fanhua Town every day. Pack two steamed buns in the morning, and eat them with water when noon arrives. Even the four master carpenters who were engrossed in woodwork did not dare to go home for lunch. The owners of other people are like this, how can they be embarrassed to go home to eat hot rice and hot soup with labor money? So, from the day after the pick-up, the four of them also had two wowotou each day to pass the lunch. The speed of work is getting faster and faster. There are only three days left until the agreed tenth day. If you don't work harder, not to mention the master's ugly face, you won't get any extra reward.
On this day, there were several wives around the fence and the low wall of the house.

"I don't want to come to ask for some zero wood. This kind of thing happens every time. This time, it took seven days to come, and it's enough to endure." Feng Lao Liu looked up and looked outside, shook his head, and still stepped up his work. cutting action.
"Hey, isn't that the mother-in-law of the Hua family in Dongtou? She's too embarrassed to come?" Fang Dasheng, the youngest, occasionally swept across the family's mother-in-law Liu, who was caught in the crowd, and couldn't help saying curiously.
"Tsk... You don't know about this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Hua family, who are famous in Fanhua Town and can't get in. You want to find embarrassment on her face? How is that possible!" Wang Shuifa, who was slightly lame, said yes The cousin of the village chief Wang Gengfa, he lived with one hand.
However, in general, the host family seldom chooses him as a carpenter. First, he is a little lame, and secondly, he is the cousin of the village chief. How much salary is suitable for him? If the woodwork is unsatisfactory, should the wages be deducted or not? As a result, simply do not look for him.
This time, if Lin Siyao hadn't asked Feng Lao Liu to recommend three more skilled workers, Feng Lao Liu would not have thought of him. However, after seeing that Lin Siyao had no worries in this regard, he let go of his dangling heart.
"Afa is right, that woman in the Hua family is really good at making calculations, and that woman of mine has also suffered from her losses." The last person to speak was the neighbor of the Hua family, Tian Dafu. His upright mother-in-law, Aunt Tian, had suffered a few secret losses from the Hua family's mother-in-law Liu when she first married into the Tian family.
In the right wing, Lin Siyao measured the size of the furniture to be built next. He heard the murmurings of the four carpenters, raised his eyebrows, and glanced over the short fence that only climbed up to his knees, and swept to a place outside the house. pile of women.
"That... Young Master... Do you still remember me?" Seeing Lin Siyao coming out, the mother-in-law of the Hua family walked up to talk with a smirk.
Lin Siyao raised his eyebrows, how could he not remember the woman who came out instead. However, he promised that Su Shuilin would no longer hurt people at will. He resisted the urge to throw her into the river.

"That, son, we are... looking at the wood in the son's house, and the rest of the furniture... er... there should be a lot of leftovers... hehe... can you give it to us?" The spokesperson for this group of women fumbled to make it clear.
Leftovers? Lin Siyao sneered in his heart, turned his head to ask the four carpenters who didn't dare to let out the air and just worked hard: "Is the leftover wood scraps after the furniture is made?"
"Young master is joking. With so much wood, there should be quite a lot of wood after the furniture that you asked for, and even a few large trees will remain. How can they be leftovers like they said." Feng The sixth received Lin Siyao's gaze, and pretended to be calm.
"Very good." Lin Siyao nodded when he heard the words, and then turned to the group of women outside the yard who were still unwilling to give up: "Pick it up in five days." After leaving such a sentence, he walked into the front room and measured the kitchen. The size of the furniture that needs to be placed.
When a group of mother-in-law heard that they really had something to take, they dispersed happily.
Feng Laoliu and the other three looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the master at all.
In the evening, Lin Siyao said lightly to the four carpenters who were packing up their tools and preparing to go home: "Extend it for another two days. If it is not completed after five days, not only will there be no reward, but the rest of the wood will be given to them."
When Feng Laoliu heard it, the four of them showed joy on their faces: This, but if the work is completed on time, how many people can share the rest of the wood
The four of them looked at Lin Siyao in unison, with longing questions in their eyes.
Feng Lao Liu immediately patted his chest and assured: "It's done! It's done! Don't worry, sir, it's guaranteed to be completed! It's too late to light a candle at night." The other three also nodded their heads in a hurry. For fear that Lin Siyao would go back on his words.
Lin Siyao nodded and ignored them. One jumped a few meters away, and soon disappeared in front of the four of them.
"Wow! I really know kung fu!" Fang Dasheng praised with bright eyes.
"Yeah, see if he didn't lock the door today, isn't he..."
It was night, and Feng Laoliu and the four rushed to the night with great spirits, and did not lock up and go home until midnight. The mother-in-law of the four was also very supportive when they heard the news, and even insisted on working with them. Thinking about the pile of big wood, no matter what, the four of them can also get the material for a big table.
