Chapter 88

"Chun Zhi, how do you make your black beans? Are they soybeans?" Third Aunt wanted to ask just now.She was really curious that beans, which she seldom eats, can be made so delicious.

"Oh, it's not difficult to make, just boil the beans, add sugar, soy sauce, radish or coriander, and then cook to taste." It's a pity that there is no chili here, otherwise it can be eaten as fennel beans up.

"Hehe, then Auntie will try it some other day, and you won't teach me then."

"Okay." It's a trivial matter, Lu Xuening readily agreed.

The third aunt held Lu Xuening's hand again, and said mysteriously that she wanted to tell her to watch something good.Lu Xuening asked her to drag her to the kang room inside, and then watched the third aunt take out a large bag of things from the top of the cabinet.

"What is this?" Lu Xuening asked curiously.

"Look!" The third aunt opened the cloth bag, and there was a big lump of white flowers inside. She still recognized this, it turned out to be cotton.

"Third Aunt, where did you get so much cotton?" Seeing that there were several large bales on the top of the cabinet.All cotton?Where did the third aunt's house get so much cotton?
"It's not that your sister Qiuyue is going to leave the house next year. I have to prepare her dowry early. This quilt is a must." The third aunt said with a smile. There are two daughters in her family, so there are a lot of cotton Be prepared, not afraid of too much. "After the Chinese New Year, find a double-headed month, and my aunt will find someone to help your sister sew the quilt."

"Oh...that's it." Lu Xuening didn't know much about the customs here, seeing that Sister Qiuyue was only sixteen or seventeen years old, did she get married so early?Isn't this early marriage?

Lu Xuening was thinking about it, but the third aunt took off a large piece of cotton and handed it to her. "Then, I heard from your uncle that you went to the fair and didn't buy any flowers, so I'll give you a piece."

"Ah! How nice this is, it's for Sister Qiuyue's wedding, how can I have it?" Lu Xuening refused, although she also wanted to change into a new cotton coat as soon as possible, but she could use other people's wedding supplies.

"It's okay, Auntie has a lot of preparations, and you don't need much money to make a cotton padded coat, so it's not a problem." The third aunt said that a cotton padded coat is only half a catty, and she is not bad at that.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. If it's not enough, Auntie can still give it to you. Auntie won't delay her daughter's marriage." The third aunt assured her.

Hearing this, Lu Xuening was relieved and accepted the piece of cotton.But the relationship is good, the cotton money still has to be settled with others, even though the third aunt refused to accept her cotton money, but Lu Xuening said that if she didn't accept it, she wouldn't want the cotton.Only then did the third aunt accept her cotton money.

In fact, if she really couldn't get cotton, she originally planned to find a way to get some chicken feathers or something to make up for it. Ancient chicken feathers are basically useless, and it should be warm when used as a down jacket, but now that there is cotton, naturally there is no need to get chicken feathers. Because she was afraid that the chicken feathers would scurry around if the cloth was too loose.

Later, I chatted with my third aunt, saying that Lu Xuening doesn't know how to make clothes at all, and it is impossible for a person like her who can't even do simple cross-stitch to know how to cut or even sew clothes.

So the third aunt kindly said that she would do it for her, thanked the third aunt again and again, and Lu Xuening left the third aunt's house gratefully.It's already very dark, so it's not good to stay in someone's house for a long time. Due to limited conditions, people in ancient times didn't like to visit after dark, so she didn't bother people to rest.
