Chapter 20 The Wool

After putting these things in the kitchen, Tao Zhen took out the handkerchief and handed it to Mrs. Pei. When Mrs. Pei heard that a handkerchief could earn ten cents, she was very happy.Pei Zhan didn't say anything. Apparently he thought it would be a good thing for Mrs. Pei to do something.

Moreover, today is different from the past, and Pei Zhan is not pushy. It would be good for Mrs. Pei to do some work to supplement the family income.

As soon as Mrs. Pei's side was assigned, Tao Zhen took out a brand new writing brush and two books and handed them to Pei Zhan and said, "This is for you."

Pei Zhan took the book and looked at it. It was a Three-Character Classic. He frowned and looked at Tao Zhen: "This book and writing brush are not cheap, are they?"

Tao Zhen said: "Of course, be careful not to damage it. Copy it carefully and make your handwriting neat."

Pei Zhan didn't understand what she meant. He opened another blank book and suddenly understood.

"How much does it cost to copy a copy?"

Tao Zhen made a gesture: "This is a thin book, only [-] liters. The shopkeeper of the bookstore has said that he will take a look at the finished product first. If the copy is good, he will give us a thicker book, which can cost several hundred liters. Woolen cloth."

Pei Zhan laughed angrily: "It's quite a lot."

Although he was still angry, he admired Tao Zhen for being able to find such a job.

Copying books is indeed much easier than working in the quarry.

Tao Zhen thought he was unwilling and said, "You are idle anyway, why not find something to do."

Pei Zhan said: "Yes, at least I can still move my right hand."

This damn girl really knows how to make the best use of everything.

He was covered in injuries all over his body. Except for a pair of eyeballs, only his right hand was healed. She was not willing to waste it.

Tao Zhen said, "I'll make dumplings for you to eat tonight."

When Pei Zhan heard the dumplings, he finally felt a little better. It's okay to be a dead girl. After harvesting the wool, at least he remembered to make him a sheepskin mattress to see how he and Mrs. Pei had been clearly arranged by her. If not My little brother is too young, so he probably has work to do.

As soon as Pei Zhan finished thinking about it, Tao Zhen raised her broken fishing net and said, "My little brother and I will go to the river tomorrow. We will fry the fish we catch and eat them."

Pei Zhan "..." He didn't even let go of the lamb's hair...

"We all have work to do, what are you doing?" Pei Zhan asked.

Tao Zhen said: "I want to pickle pickles, fish, prepare ingredients for the winter, and go to the city to buy things, etc..."

Don't think she will be relaxed. Winter is coming in Ningzhou soon. Tao Zhen asked people in the city today. The vendors said that the winter in Ningzhou is long and cold. It can really freeze people to death. Everything for the winter must be prepared before it snows. , otherwise it would be difficult for people to survive the winter. Many people die in Ningzhou every winter.

Tao Zhen explained to Pei Zhan, and of course Pei Zhan knew it. He frowned. He couldn't move now, and he couldn't even earn the money from the quarry.

Mrs. Pei also decided to finish embroidering the handkerchief quickly. It would be good to prepare more money.

In the whole room, only Brother Pei didn't know how to worry. He just stared at the cabbage and meat, and occasionally swallowed his saliva.

Tao Zhen bought some meat and ribs. Everyone likes to eat meat. Ribs with more bones and less meat are basically sold cheaply.

When making dumplings at night, no one in the Pei family knew anything except Tao Zhen. The kitchen was too cold, so Tao Zhen moved the things to Mrs. Pei's house. After Tao Zhen taught Mrs. Pei a few times, she knew how to do it. Pei Heng Watching eagerly from the side, even Pei Zhan still looked cold and indifferent, but his eyes were full of curiosity.

Tao Zhen found it funny. People in this city really didn't understand anything.

Although Pei Zhan was eager to try, his left hand was injured and making dumplings was basically impossible, so he had to give up.

Tao Zhen's movements were very nimble, and the dumplings were ready quickly. When she went to the kitchen to cook the dumplings, Pei Heng followed, watching eagerly, which made Tao Zhen's heart melt.

She touched Pei Xiaoheng's furry head and said, "How are Xiaoheng's sweet potatoes doing?"

In fact, she just saw it in the house. The sweet potatoes haven't grown yet, and they probably have to wait two days.

Pei Heng didn't answer. He usually chose silence when he couldn't answer questions.

Tao Zhen was a little worried. This child still had a mental problem. What if he never spoke?
