Yipin Tang

Chapter 179

"Brother-in-law, you destroyed my big snowman again!"

In the courtyard of the Linchuanhou Mansion, Wang Xiang had just smashed a scarecrow and inserted a branch into a fat snowman next to him.

The little Lolita stood under the eaves wearing thick clothes, her mouth pouted, and she looked unhappy. It took her, Ju Yiya and Xiaoya a long time to build the snowman yesterday. I didn’t expect to go to bed together today. I saw another branch inserted into the snowman.

Wang Xiang smiled awkwardly when he heard Little Lolita's voice: "This, it's easy..."

"Hmph." Little Lolita snorted softly, this was already the sixth snowman Wang Xiang destroyed, she remembered it clearly.

Seeing that Wang Xiang had finished today's strawman poking exercise, the little girl standing by the side hurriedly handed over a hot towel. Wang Xiang took the hot towel and wiped his face, feeling comfortable all over.

It has been half a month since the Cuju Competition, and the last game is still talked about by everyone. The Jubo team won the final victory, and Wang Xiang also won 500 taels of silver. He is in a good mood, but the best mood should be It was the owner of Yuntong Casino, and [-]% of the people bought the winning team to win, and the only one who bought the Jubo team to win was Wang Xiang...

After the game, everyone remembered a name, Han Niang.As for Wang Xiang, his reputation has long spread throughout Chang'an, even in the distant Western Regions.The final game was completely a contest between Han Niang and Wang Xiang. Various tactics emerged one after another. After a game, the players were exhausted. In the end, Wang Xiang was slightly better, but he did not dare to underestimate Han Niang. Relying on the classic tactics summed up by countless people in later generations, the woman named Han Niang relied entirely on her own adaptability.

With such a strange woman beside Hou Junji, it is no wonder that his power in the court has become stronger and stronger in recent years.

"Brother-in-law, when will the sweater you mentioned be ready?"

Little Lolita was afraid of the cold, so she hid under the eaves and rubbed her little hands to ask Wang Xiang.A few days ago, several carts of wool were brought back from the Western Regions, so Wang Xiang told them about the sweaters.He also thought about using cotton to make cotton clothes and quilts before, but there are only a few cotton plants in Bairui Garden for ornamental purposes, not to mention cotton clothes and quilts, which may not be enough to make a pair of cotton gloves. All the cotton was transplanted into the vegetable garden on the village, and the seeds produced by the few cotton plants were also sown. There should be enough cotton for use by this time next year.

If he hadn't gone to the Bairui Garden of Sinong Temple to transplant cotton, Wang Xiang would have almost forgotten that he was still the supervisor of Sinong Temple...

Cotton can't be counted on this year, so Wang Xiang thought about getting out the sweater first. Speaking of which, the sweater is warmer and much lighter than the cotton one.It's just that he thought things too simply. When he saw the wool brought back, he realized that the real wool was completely different from the white and smooth wool in his imagination. It was yellow and wrinkled, and he could smell a strong smell of smell. If Laifu hadn't told him that wool was like this, he would have wondered if those merchants from the Western Regions were cheating him.

Obviously, this kind of wool cannot be made into sweaters, and the smell can be smelled from far away, so he had to ask someone to drag all the wool to Gewuyuan, and then went to the warehouse to check the information for a long time.

It turns out that the wool just cut from a sheep is called raw wool. The raw wool contains a lot of impurities and cannot be directly used for knitting sweaters. It needs to go through a series of treatments.

The pre-processing of raw wool is divided into three processes: scouring, carbonization, and bleaching. The post-processing is more complicated. If you let the Gewu Institute study it by yourself, you may not be able to fully understand it after a few years of research. Wang Xiang copied the information he found. After sending it to Li Chunfeng, let him take the people from Gewuyuan to study the actual operation.

It had been several days now, and it happened that Wang Xiang had nothing to do today, so he planned to go over to see how the wool was doing, and he also wanted to let everyone in the house have a woolen sweater before the New Year.

"Ernan, let's go to Gewuyuan to see how they are doing."

Little Loli frowned when she heard the words: "Ah, the smell is so bad."

Wang Xiang smiled wryly, "Then I'll go and see for myself."

"No, I'm going too." Little Lolita hunched her head and ran out to hug Wang Xiang's arm. This girl likes to cling to Wang Xiang the most.

Seeing little Lolita's face flushed from the cold, Wang Xiang touched her little hand, feeling cold for a while.

"Brother-in-law's hands are so warm!"

Hearing Little Lolita's exclamation, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "It won't be cold if you hold my hand." Perhaps because he got up early to exercise with Sun Simiao, Wang Xiang felt that his body was getting better and better, and he didn't need to wear too much. The clothes don't feel cold, and the palms are warm.

Little Loli lowered her head and grabbed Wang Xiang's hand, thinking: Brother-in-law's hand is big and warm, so comfortable.

Feeling that Wang Xiang's big hand was holding all his small hands, little Lolita felt like a deer was bumping back and forth in her heart, and she didn't dare to raise her head anymore.

"Let's go."

"Yes." Little Lolita nodded and obediently followed Wang Xiang.

Ever since the assassination incident happened, the training of the black guards had been handed over to Haitang. Tie Dan only went to teach them martial arts occasionally, and followed Wang Xiang at other times, and Tie Dan drove the car to Gewuyuan.

"Master, is my new ax finished?"

Wang Xiang, who was sitting in the carriage, heard Tiedan's question and said with a smile: "How can it be so fast? It's not so easy to forge a weapon out of divine iron. Although there are coal mines and high-temperature furnaces, forging is still time-consuming. It's still Qianduan."

"Oh." Tie Dan didn't think too much about it, the young master did what he said.

When we arrived at Gewuyuan, there was no bustle in the past. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and the students would go home on vacation and come back to school after the Chinese New Year, but there were still a few of them staying in Gewuyuan.

"Wang Jiancheng, sister Xiao Wu, why are you here?"

As soon as Wang Xiang and Xiao Luoli came to the backyard of Gewuyuan, they heard Li Zhi's voice.

"do not come!"

Li Zhi stopped in surprise.

Little Loli held her nose and said with disgust, "It stinks to death, childish slave, why do you stink so badly?"

Li Zhi looked embarrassed, lowered his head and sniffed his hands, and the little loli wrinkled his nose when he saw Li Zhi's movements: "Child slave, you are so disgusting."

"Ah..." Li Zhi quickly explained: "This is the smell of wool. I was washing wool just now."

Wang Xiang felt a little sympathetic to this sad kid, and patted the little loli on the head and said, "The young slave washes the wool so that you can get sweaters for you earlier, how can you say that about him."

"But he really stinks."

"That's not smelly, it's smelly, but it really doesn't smell good."

"exactly……"

Li Zhi burst into tears immediately.

This kid has always been very curious, and he likes to try everything, especially the new things that Wang Xiang said, he always wants to try it himself, but it makes him smell bad.

"Children, does the method of washing hair I told you work?"

Hearing Wang Xiang's question, Li Zhi finally lifted his spirits, and said excitedly: "Wang Jiancheng, the method you said really works, the wool after washing has no smell at all."

Wang Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said, "Take me to have a look."
