Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 69 Oilcloth
There were still some iron rods left, Yun Yiyi planned to stick them in the paddy fields, and she didn't plan to bother the father and daughter anymore, after paying the money, she thanked them and said goodbye to them.

They only charged her three taels of silver for so many ironware, which was very worthwhile in Yun Yiyi's opinion, after all, it could be used for many years.

Niu Er hesitated to speak, and when he was about to leave, he finally couldn't help asking: "You are growing vegetables now." After saying this, her face turned red.

On the contrary, Yun Yiyi was taken aback. She didn't expect that the other party talked less because she was so easily shy. She was surprisingly simple. She thought that she might ask them for help in the future, so she nodded with a smile, but she didn't explain.

This paddy field, Yun Yiyi, occasionally fertilizes. If the crop of wild rice stem grows well, it can be harvested in March or April next year.

Yun Yiyi originally didn't want to build a shed in the paddy field, thinking it was unnecessary.But this snow made her change her mind, the temperature here was even lower than she had imagined.If in the deep winter, it snowed every day, it is estimated that Zizania will be frozen to death.

The paddy field is very soft, and she can easily insert the iron rod into the field by herself, but stepping on it will easily stain her pants.

After Yun Yiyi changed her clothes, she walked towards the paddy field. Now there was no one to meet outside, and the edge of the field looked very desolate. After she finished everything, she sprinkled the fertilizer she brought into the field. before leaving.

Yan Xiaoshuang seldom smiles these days, although he usually doesn't smile, but this time there is indeed a reason.He went out to play in a pink jacket, and Yan Yuan actually recognized him as a little girl from a neighboring village.

Yan Xiaoshuang realized later, his clothes must be worn by girls!For this reason, he ran to Yun Yiyi to question, his face turned into a bun with anger: "Mother, they said my clothes belonged to girls."

Yun Yiyi said calmly, "Didn't you choose this dress yourself?"

Yan Xiaoshuang puffed up her cheeks, even so, but, but...

"What's the difference between men and women at the age of three? Do you think Xiaohua is still wearing her brother's old clothes? Did someone say something? You are still new clothes, and you spent a lot of money." Yun Yiyi looked at the powder dumpling and couldn't help it. Stopped and pinched him again.

Confusion appeared in Yan Xiao's eyes, he always felt that something was wrong, but what mother said seemed to make sense.So he left in a daze, still wearing the pink jacket.

Yun Yiyi couldn't help but laugh.

Although it's still early winter, the number of pedestrians on the street has decreased by nearly half, and many restaurants have been closed. Sure enough, Guan Shicheng did not bully her. When she came to the county again, Yun Yiyi felt a sense of embarrassment.

When the weather is hot, there are still many vendors on the street. Now there are no people who come out to set up stalls, but the shops on both sides are still operating normally.

This is really a place where money can't buy things, Yun Yiyi sighed in her heart, if she had a car, she would want to bring more things back home, after all, there are too many things to use, if she can't go out this winter Shopping is so lonely.

It is said that the capital is very prosperous, and there must be no shortage of supplies in winter, but it will take at least a few months for her to go to the capital. Besides, in ancient times, there may be various obstacles on the way, so it is not easy.

You can't just take such a risk just for shopping, you have to figure it out slowly, but she will go to the capital to see it sooner or later.

Yun Yiyi was looking for a place premeditatedly this time. There was no plastic in ancient times, but you can find substitutes. During this period of time, oiled paper umbrellas are selling very well.

There is a lot of rain and snow in winter, and every household will prepare this thing.

The umbrella shop is not difficult to find. In order to attract customers, the boss hung a few oil-paper umbrellas on the eaves, with plum blossoms and bamboo printed on them. I put a few oil-paper umbrellas and they were all opened.

There are a few girls inside who are picking up umbrellas, and two people beside them are making oil-paper umbrellas. Yun Yiyi doesn't care if the umbrella is good-looking, but stares at those two people.

The oiled paper has been prepared a long time ago, and a circle is drawn on it, then cut off along the paper with scissors, and then pasted on the oiled paper along the ribs.The two of them probably have already done it proficiently, their fingers are flexible, and they rotate along the umbrella ribs while pasting the oil paper. The process is very pleasing to the eye.

Yun Yiyi stared at her for a long time, and the woman looked up at her, "What kind of umbrella do you want to choose?" While she was talking, her hand still didn't stop, and an oil-paper umbrella was ready.

Yun Yiyi didn't want to buy an oiled paper umbrella, but she had an idea, she wanted to use oiled paper instead of plastic, and cover the greenhouse with oiled paper to make a greenhouse.I don't know if this plan is feasible, but she wants to give it a try.

This ancient thing is limited, and it is too difficult for her to find a substitute.

Yun Yiyi touched the texture of the oiled paper umbrella and asked, "Can I just buy oiled paper?"

Probably never heard such a request before, the man was taken aback for a moment, and quickly recovered, "How much do you want to buy?"

Yun Yiyi was also not sure, "Maybe a lot, how much oil paper do you have here?"

The woman stopped what she was doing and looked at her suspiciously, "Do you want to buy oiled paper and make umbrellas yourself? But even if you only buy oiled paper, the price will not be less."

Yun Yiyi knew that she had misunderstood, thinking that she wanted to wholesale oiled paper, and planned to make oiled paper umbrellas by herself to steal her business.The businessman's idea was really based on profit in the first place, and she didn't explain it, she just touched the oiled paper and asked, "Can this paper stop the hail?"

The woman shook her head: "Of course not, oil-paper umbrellas can only block rain and snow."

This is true, Yun Yiyi actually didn't figure it out, how can this ordinary paper be used to keep out the rain, paper is obviously fragile.She touched the oiled paper umbrella, and felt that the texture was not bad, not like ordinary paper.

The girls picked out beautiful umbrellas and left happily, and a few people who came in also bought umbrellas. It seems that the business of this umbrella shop is not bad.

The woman saw that Yun Yiyi only looked at it but didn't buy it, so she asked, "Do you want to buy it?"

Yun Yiyi smiled and said, "I'm here to buy something, don't worry, I don't sell umbrellas, I just want to wrap things in oiled paper."

The woman's expression immediately changed from cloudy to sunny, "That's fine. The oiled paper we have here is the best. All the restaurants around here order oiled paper from my house. What are you planning to use to wrap things?"

Knowing that Yun Yiyi didn't come to grab business, she became more amiable.This oiled paper is equivalent to the modern version of a packing box. If a customer wants to take away steamed buns, steamed buns, roast chicken, beef, etc., he wraps them in oiled paper.

Yun Yiyi needs oiled paper to keep out the wind and snow, and it is best to keep the chicken shed warm. If there is hail, the oiled paper will be damaged and it will not be effective.

She asked curiously: "How do you make this oiled paper? Why is it different from ordinary paper, so it won't be broken by rain?"

The man who had kept his head down and pasted the oiled paper raised his head and said, "Don't you know? The oiled paper is naturally soaked in oil."

It's no secret, everyone knows it, but even so, not everyone knows how to make oiled paper umbrellas.

"Don't worry, we have been making oiled paper for three generations. The tung tree is grown in our own land, and it grows very well. After the paper is soaked in tung oil and dried, it can prevent rain." Like for To prove what he said, he handed her the paper in his hand to look at.

Yun Yiyi understood this truth, and the main effect was tung oil.Although she had never heard of this tung oil, she could guess a little from their description.This is the ancient version of paint.

Squeezing the oil out of the tung tree and rubbing it on the paper would do the trick. Maybe she could put the tung oil on her homemade refrigerator and the iron bars in the ground. A layer of protection.

Yun Yiyi was overjoyed, and said: "The things I want to wrap are a little special, and the oil paper may be torn. I want to buy you some more tung oil, okay?"

The woman said, "You want to make oilcloth yourself?"

She obviously thought that Yun Yiyi's family was in business, so she said, "We also sell oilcloth here, come with me."

Most of them come to buy oiled paper umbrellas, after all, this is an umbrella shop, but there are also people who wholesale oilcloth and tung oil, but they are all regular customers, and the women also know each other. This Yun Yiyi was a new face before, and she was a little suspicious at first.But since she was a big customer who came to buy things, of course she opened the door to welcome her.

The backside of this umbrella shop is like an umbrella factory. There are barrels of tung oil on the ground with paper soaked inside.Sheets of oiled paper are hanging on the bamboo poles, looking very formal.

The woman smiled shyly: "Usually it would have been dry long ago, but in this kind of weather it will take a little longer to dry."

Yun Yiyi said: "Understood." She walked a few steps and found a piece of black cloth on the bamboo pole, which was smooth to the touch.

"This is the oilcloth from the sun a few days ago. It has dried and can be put away," the woman said, then took the black cloth off the bamboo pole, and put the cloth and a pile of oilcloth together, " Look at these oilcloths that have just been made recently, how much do you want?"

There are a lot of cloth neatly placed on the cabinet, but the cloth is average.Because they are not made of clothes, there are no designs and colors, and they are mainly black and gray. These oilcloths are used to make burdens, and they can also be used to wrap food.

Yun Yiyi carefully studied the fabrics, and found that some of them were different, and some were thicker. Such tarpaulins could not only keep out the rain, but also keep them warm.

"How many meters is your oilcloth?" Yun Yiyi asked.

The woman said: "It's the same size as the cloth you buy at the clothing store. Each piece of cloth is four feet long."

These four feet are equal to forty feet, which is about 13 meters. Yun Yiyi calculated her land, plus the paddy field and the chicken coop, so she probably used a lot of fabric.And she might need it later.

She didn't want the cloth that was too thin, but she basically wrapped up the thick oilcloth in the store.

The woman thought she was running a shop and wanted to send her things to the shop, but she declined.When she came here, she was making a bullock cart, and it was enough for someone to put the tarpaulin on the cart.

Then I went to the clothing store and bought some thick quilt fabrics before I was ready to go home.

The first thing I did when I went back was to cut off some oilcloth and put it on the chicken coop.

She bought a barrel of tung oil anyway, took out a brush from the kitchen utensils, and carefully brushed it all over the refrigerator.
