Chapter 139 Being Comparable (Part [-])

Su Yueling, who successfully "destroyed the corpse and wiped out the traces", decided not to make this cup of tea that morning.

After eating a plate of preserved fruit, she calmed down and went to enjoy breakfast.

It has been snowing since the first day of the first lunar month, and it snowed a lot last night. When going out, Su Yueling could see a vast white world.Su Yueling was a little afraid of the cold. Growing up in the north, she was not very interested in playing with snow.

So after breakfast, she retreated into the room again.

There are several stoves in the room, but no matter how hot the stoves are, they cannot completely drive away the chill.

Su Yueling was lying on the couch with two layers of soft rabbit fur blankets under her body. In addition to the two quilts, she also added two fur blankets because of the cold weather.

The snow fell silently outside the window, and the room was silent, only the crackling of sparks could be heard.

Xiao Qiao and Sheng Nan are lying on the couch together, and she is learning how to tie a net from Sheng Nan.Wu Shu, on the other hand, was flipping through the flowers, thinking that Su Yueling's purse was too small, and he couldn't match a set of clothes with a purse at the moment, so he planned to choose a few more, and let them do it when the embroiderers rested.

The room is quiet, which is the quiet time that many people dream of.

However, Su Yueling couldn't take it anymore.

Today is colder than yesterday, yesterday it was only two degrees below zero, and today it is already minus six degrees.For Su Yueling, who has been used to heating since she was a child, the cold can be said to be an unbearable pain in life.

Although she has covered enough quilts, the sum of several beds is really heavy.

"Ashu, I want a down quilt!"

Su Yueling finally remembered the down quilt, which is an artifact for winter. Not only down quilts can be arranged, but down jackets can also be arranged.If it wasn't for her not knowing how to make a sweater, Su Yueling would have wanted someone to knit a sweater for her.

In this weather, even if Yuan Suijun ran away with Su Yuewei, she wouldn't want to chase after her, okay?

Wu Shu put down the booklet in his hand, "Down quilt? How to do it?"

Su Yueling recalled, "Both duck down and goose down are fine. Usually, the fluff on their chest is stuffed into the quilt."

"I don't want duck down, I want goose down. Goose down has no smell."

Because duck down is omnivorous, the down has a faint fishy smell.

Katsuo was surprised, "A goose has very little fluff."

Su Yueling said: "Just take a few more!"

"I want a duvet, now! Now! It doesn't matter how much it costs."

"Okay, I'll let them buy a goose."

To remove the fluff from the chest of a goose, it must be slaughtered.I'm afraid that a quilt will cost dozens of geese to say the least.Even if ordinary people raise geese, they can't raise so many geese, so they can only buy them from rich people.

Their Zhuangzi may raise more geese.

With Su Yueling's order, the Yuan family became active.

Yuan Suifeng immediately took over the matter, "I'll go buy geese, it's snowing these days, it can freeze people to death, I'm not afraid of the cold, I can just go out."

Yuan Suifeng did not talk big, the outside is now covered in silver, most people have three layers inside and three layers outside, wrapping themselves like buckets, no matter how bad they are, they are dressed like Yuan Suijun Thick cloak.

But Yuan Suifeng was different. He only wore three pieces, his face was rosy, and he was not afraid of the low temperature at all. Su Yueling, who was afraid of the cold, was envious.

In the past two days, villagers have come to visit the family from morning till night to pay New Year's greetings.Yuan Suifeng will be fourteen years later. In everyone's eyes, it is an age that can be said to be a relative. In addition, everyone knows that the Yuan family is well-off, and the relationship between the two brothers is very good.If you marry into the Yuan family, it can be said that you have fallen into a honeypot.

Therefore, there are indeed many relatives.

Of course, they are still very self-aware, and they are talking about good girls from all over the world, and most of them have virtuous names.

But Yuan Suifeng doesn't want to get married at all now.He hasn't made any achievements yet. He relies on his brother-in-law for food and clothing. Before he can support himself, it is impossible to get married. He can't take his wife to eat brother-in-law together.He also knew that these people had good intentions and it was not easy to refuse.

It happened that my sister-in-law wanted a goose down quilt, so he could use this as an excuse to slip away, as expected of his sister-in-law!
So Yuan Suifeng was in high spirits, people who didn't know thought he was the one who asked for the goose down quilt.

No matter how strong he is, he is still a young man.

Yuan Suijun was worried, so he asked Ah Wu to go out with him, and the two of them also had a care.

Yuan Suifeng spent three days visiting two nearby counties, and finally found Zhuangzi who could provide two hundred geese and even help slaughter and pluck the fluff.The price of geese is not low, one costs four qian.Two hundred geese would cost eighty taels.

It can be said that Yuan Suifeng has never seen such an expensive quilt.

Yuan Suifeng thought for a while, and said to Zhuangzi's steward, "To clean the goose down, you have to wash it more than ten times, and you have to wash it with saponins. If it's that clean, I'll give you two more coins."

As far as the steward is concerned, he only needs to move his mouth to get the money, so he is naturally happy.

Two hundred slaughtered geese could not fit in one carriage.Since they are considered big customers, the Zhuangzi is willing to send out two bullock carts to help pull them back.

It is snowing now, and it is very cold every day. Before the snow melts, these goose meat can be frozen hard as long as they are placed in the yard, so there is no need to worry about it being spoiled.

But there are so many geese, although their family has more people now, when will they have to eat them?

When Yuan Suifeng returned home, it was already the sixth day of the first lunar month.

He first went to report to his sister-in-law what he had gained from this trip.

Su Yueling, who had been covered with a thick quilt for several days, was very happy, "Have the goose down been cleaned? Then put it in the warm room and dry it again."

The Yuan family's conservatory is next to the kitchen, and the kitchen is boiled with water every day, so the room next door can be said to be the warmest place in the house.Su Yueling kept this empty house to grow vegetables.The Yuan family basically relies on the warm room for their vegetables in winter.

The goose feathers are just right here to dry.

As for the frozen goose meat brought back...

Su Yueling waved his hand, "If you want to eat, do it, I won't eat anyway."

It took almost a day to transport it from the next county, and she didn't want it if it wasn't freshly slaughtered.

"If you can't finish eating, give it to the village."

Two hundred geese, this number is quite scary.

The Yuan family didn't have a particular preference for goose meat, so Yuan Baoshu kept four and distributed the rest to the village.

A goose also weighs seven or eight catties, and there are nearly two hundred geese, which means that on average, each person in the village can get a catty of goose meat.A family with a large population will give more, and a family with a small population will get less.

The villagers did not expect such a good thing to happen, and they were all overjoyed.When I found out that the Yuan family bought so many geese, it was because Su Yueling wanted to get goose down, and the goose breeder at home even promised that when they slaughtered the geese next year, all the goose down would be left to the Yuan family.

When distributing goose meat, the servants of the Yuan family skipped over the Zhang family as usual.

At night, every household is cooking goose meat, and the whole village is surrounded by the smell of meat. The smell is so strong that Su Yuewei can't ignore it even if she wants to.

Su Yuewei couldn't sit still.When did the people in Lushan Village become so rich? It’s already the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the family hasn’t finished eating their meat yet?
Their Zhang family is a scholar's family, and they were actually compared.
