Making bedding is simple, just cut and sew. But as a graduate of the fashion department, Yang Haiyan's hemming is very beautiful, just like it was done by a sewing machine. She also embroidered small golden flowers on the light blue quilt, which looks very warm.
Yang Dahua couldn't help but praise her: "Haiyan, your needlework is really good. No wonder everyone praised you when you were in Yang's house."
Yang Haiyan: "I'll teach you tomorrow afternoon." This overlocking is a modern craft, not from this era, but it doesn't matter, it's all women's work anyway.
Yang Dahua: "Okay, OK. By the way, what are you going to give me tomorrow?"
Yang Haiyan: “Fried rice.”
the next day
Today, the daughter of the butcher's stall owner delivered ten kilograms of pig intestines before dawn. Yang Haiyan kept two kilograms and put the other eight kilograms on the trading platform.
Lunch was fried rice with pickled vegetables and pig intestines, served with dried shrimp and winter melon soup. When Yang Dahua came to call Yang Haiyan, the unbridled aroma of the pig intestines made her ask, "What does this smell like? It's so strange, but it tastes so good." When the pig intestines are well prepared, they really taste good to those who like them.
Yang Haiyan: "I made a little too much. You can take some over to let Han Baifu try. This is made with pig intestines. If he likes it, you can make it next time."
Yang Dahua: "Use pig intestines?" Yang Dahua didn't mean to be disgusted. She came from a poor family and was a maid, so she cherished food and would not look down on any food. But she didn't expect that Haiyan would eat this.
Yang Haiyan: "Try it first." She served Yang Dahua a small bowl of pork intestine fried rice.
Yang Dahua took a bite of the pig intestine first, and then her eyes lit up: "It's delicious. If you don't know, you would think it's meat."
Yang Haiyan: "Here is another plate. I'll put it in your lunch box and you can take it to Captain Han."
Yang Dahua: "Okay, okay." What she brought today was scrambled eggs and fried tofu, which can be considered meat dishes.
When the two of them were sent to the military camp, Han Zhen and Qin Fang were waiting for them at the door. When they saw them, they both ran over. Unlike Qin Fang, who kept silent, Han Zhen was a gentle person. He asked Yang Dahua curiously, "What did you send today?"
Yang Dahua: "Today I received scrambled eggs and fried tofu. Haiyan also gave me a mysterious dish. You will know after you eat it."
When Qin Fang heard this, his eyes shot towards Han Zhen like knives. This guy was eating his rations.
Han Zhen pretended not to see it, and when he opened the lunch box, he ate it all in one gulp. This wolfing down of food was very inconsistent with his handsome image.
But in the afternoon, Qin Fang used the excuse of sparring to severely teach Han Zhen a lesson. You can touch him, but you absolutely cannot touch the food made by his woman.
The two men were equally skilled, but in the end both lay on the ground exhausted.
Han Zhen kicked Qin Fang with his foot, and then smiled again. They came out of that small village together, walked through the muddy road together, shed blood together, killed enemies together, became centurions together, and married wives together. Their wives also came from the same place. It felt so good.
Yang Dahua and Yang Haiyan returned to the family room. Yang Dahua continued to ask Yang Haiyan for needlework. She also wanted to embroider some handkerchiefs to help the family. She also wanted to use her own money to buy pig's trotters and pork for her husband. Yang Haiyan started to make clothes for Qin Fang. She made underwear and long-sleeved trousers. After Yang Dahua left, she made underwear for Qin Fang.
After a while, Tang's mother and daughter arrived.
Yang Dahua knew that there were people who took the job of doing laundry here, but she was reluctant to spend the money. If it was before, she would also think that Yang Haiyan was too extravagant, but Yang Haiyan was good at needlework, so she naturally had to take good care of her hands. So it was reasonable to ask someone to do the laundry.
It was September 11 again, and Yang Haiyan received another ten kilograms of pig intestines. She kept two kilograms and put eight kilograms on the platform. Then she went out with a hundred bars of soap.
Forever
When the shopkeeper saw that there were 100 bars of soap this time, he was so happy that his mouth was crooked: "Why is there also 100 bars this time? It would be great if there were this many every time."
Yang Haiyan: "I hired someone to help me with the work, so it was more work. And I was in a hurry to use the money, so it took me a little longer to do it."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes lit up: "Can you guarantee the full quantity on the first day of every ten days?" The soap was selling very well when it came out. He even showed it to his master. Speaking of which, the master kept half of the first batch of 100 yuan for himself.
Yang Haiyan: "I dare not hire too many people, for fear that the secret recipe will be spread. If there are two people, I can guarantee 100 yuan per ten days, but no more than that."
Shopkeeper: “Oh, that’s great.” In this way, a certain amount can be shipped to other places.
Yang Haiyan: "Boss, this time the 100 yuan is different from before, so the price must be different too, please take a look."
The shopkeeper took a look and said, "Oh, there are words and carvings on this side. It's amazing. It's really amazing. The craftsmanship is great." Then... the price can be sold at a better price. "This word has Fu Lu Shou, happiness, happiness, intelligence, beauty... It's quite interesting. Mrs. Qin, you are really good at doing business."
Yang Haiyan: "Don't praise me, I don't have the guts to do business. I'm just a small family, making a little money to live. Doing business is troublesome and troublesome. People like me who don't have a backer can't do business."
Shopkeeper: "Mrs. Qin, you are really insightful."
Yang Haiyan: "What do you think of the price?"
The shopkeeper said, "I'll give you two cents more for each new one. What do you think?"
Yang Haiyan: "Add three cents per piece."
The shopkeeper: "Okay, three cents is three cents." He gave Yang Haiyan an extra three cents, but they would have to add more than three cents when they sold it outside.
After Yang Haiyan received the money, she counted and found that she and Qin Fang had more than six taels of silver. She put the six taels of silver in the drawer of the wardrobe, locked it, and put the rest in her purse to spend.
Yang Haiyan's trading platform also has more than 1,000 platform coins. She used it to buy a small solar portable outdoor generator. She has also used this kind of generator in the present world. It is very convenient. It uses solar panels to absorb electricity, and then the electricity will be stored in the generator box. After that, it can be used by connecting it with a power strip.
Yang Haiyan bought a wall-breaking machine, which can be used to make soy milk, rice milk, and fruit juice. After buying it, the generator had 10% of surplus power for trial use. Yang Haiyan washed the soybeans and squeezed soy milk directly. When she smelled the fragrance of soy milk, Yang Haiyan's eyes turned red.
Of course, if you don't need it, you can put it on the platform and sell it. Set the price a little high, and no one will buy it. This is a loophole in the platform, and it can be used as storage.
Because a lot of soy milk exploded, Yang Haiyan simply bought a thermos and poured the soy milk into it to keep it warm. She could give it to Qin Fang when she brought him food later. Of course, the soy milk could only be kept for three or four hours, otherwise it would go bad.
However, with the kettle, it was convenient to wash her face the next day. So she bought another one. Now the balance on the platform is unbearable to look at.
Looking at the balance on the platform, Yang Haiyan couldn't help but buy a dehydrator. It's not convenient to buy a washing machine because it's inconvenient to change the water, but a dehydrator is always fine, so that the sheets and quilts can be dried faster. In fact, women want to spend money when they have money.
With soy milk, Yang Haiyan made steamed buns at noon. The buns were stuffed with chives and eggs. After she finished eating, Yang Dahua came.
During this period, Yang Dahua has been learning needlework from Yang Haiyan. Although she cannot say that she is very good, she works hard and has made good gains. Her handkerchiefs and purses can be sold. However, those shops have handkerchiefs and purses embroidered by professional embroiderers, which are better than Yang Dahua's, so they will not accept hers. So Yang Dahua has to set up a stall by herself. Today is her first day.
Yang Dahua: "Haiyan, are you okay?"
Yang Haiyan: "Okay." She went out with the basket, "Sister Dahua, how's your business today?"
Speaking of business, Yang Dahua said happily: "Today is the first day and some people have come to patronize. I sell to those farm wives and farm girls."
Yang Haiyan: "Good luck with the opening, congratulations, Sister Dahua."
Yang Dahua: "That's right, take your time. I have nothing to do at home anyway, and it's good to make some extra money to support my family. When I learn well, I can bring it to the shop."
Qin Fang and Han Zhen were both waiting for their wives. During this period of time, they envied the men in the military camp. Who had such a blessing as them? Their wives came to deliver meals every day, except on rainy days. Ten days ago, those people laughed at Qin Fang so hard, and now they envied Qin Fang so much.
Originally, I thought Qin Fang was unlucky because he married a troublemaker, but it turned out that she was not. She was a woman who would buy meat for men. Moreover, according to the soldiers at the back door, Qin Fang had meat to eat every few days. The fragrance penetrated their noses and made them greedy.
At the beginning, there was only Qin Fang's family, but now Han Zhen's family has arrived, so the fragrance in that area has become even stronger.
Qin Fang took the tea bucket. He was a silent person, but after spending more than ten days together, he could speak a few words: "What did you do today?"
Yang Haiyan: "I made steamed buns and soy milk today." Because she was afraid that the soy milk would get cold, she bought an insulated tea bucket, which is actually a round wooden bucket, but the lid is very tightly closed. The effect cannot be compared with modern thermos cups and heat boxes, but in ancient times, this was used to keep things warm, and it is still effective.
Qin Fang: "Soy milk? Is it made from beans?"
Yang Haiyan: "Well, grind the beans into paste, then filter it. Try it. I added some sugar, it's sweet."
Qin Fang took out the contents of the thermos tea bucket, a large bowl of soy milk, as white as tofu pudding, and three steamed buns and three steamed bread. He took a sip of the soy milk first, and the sweet taste was sweet enough to sweeten his heart. Moreover, the soy milk did not have any bean smell at all.
