after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 696 Improvement
Chapter 696 Improvement
Lin Yuesha thought that Wei Lan took the lead because of her own reputation. Maybe Wei Lan really thought so, but the Wei family's push behind the scenes had other meanings.

The money collected from the donations is the rations, wound medicine, and cotton clothes of the soldiers in the Northwest. They must not be corrupted by the Wei family.

Lin Yuesha knew in her heart that when the time came, she would play by ear, and if she needed manpower, she would ask her maidservant to come to Shuangfuji to deliver the letter.

Being engaged to pockmarked face, he is one of his own. Lin Yuesha is very concerned about military supplies.

"Where do you buy the ducks of Shuangfuji?"

Lin Yuesha wanted to get a few down jackets to test the effect first. There are ready-made ones right now, and the duck down left over from Shuangfuji's ducks can't be wasted.

"It's just a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. I have already sent the land deed as a gift for marriage proposal."

Xiao Qi has nothing but his black market business.

"it is good."

Lin Yuesha didn't say that she was going to make cotton clothes, but she mentioned the food prepared for Mrs. Xu and Xu Da, and asked for Mazilian's opinion.

Most of them are well-intentioned, but they add to the burden on the itinerary, so Lin Yuesha is very cautious, for fear of doing bad things with good intentions.

"Our group rode fast and walked along the path. It took three to five days to see the post station, and we took a nap on the horseback when we were sleepy."

The speed of the carriage is too slow, the path is rugged, and we can only rely on one person and one horse to move forward. The most uncomfortable thing is the slippery rainy day.

"The clothes to keep out the cold are too heavy, just bring some dry food."

Riding on the road, there are too many things that are cumbersome, and they are not stable on the horse's back, and the swaying from side to side delays the journey.

Lin Yuesha returned to the Lin Mansion and added a package to the list. She wanted to make a backpack out of coarse cloth and carry it behind her back, which would save more energy than carrying a package on her shoulders.

There is no shortage of fabrics in Lin's house, and Lin Yuesha collects them in the small warehouse where leftovers are kept.

"Miss, what is this?"

Nanny Fang and Bai Cha came to surround her. My young lady was not sleeping, but was messing around with the oil lamp. The two of them watched for a long while, but they didn't see why.

"A burden that can be carried on both shoulders."

Lin Yuesha cut out the pieces of cloth, and added a thick layer of linoleum to the inside of the coarse cloth for waterproofing.

"It saves effort to carry it on your shoulders, but the opening is too big, and you have to sew several buttons. If the opening is too small, it will be inconvenient to take things."

Baicha understood what her young lady meant and made a suggestion.

This kind of package is unnecessary, although it saves energy, it is not practical, and the long jacket that the lady said is the same, it is very inconvenient to put on and take off, if you kill the enemy on the battlefield, the enemy army will attack, you can only put on cotton clothes Combat, no time to buckle up.

"Baicha, you are right, so we need to improve."

Lin Yuesha has already considered this problem. Women's clothes are beautiful with buttons, but it takes time to get dressed. If you can make zippers, you can perfectly solve this problem.

For this reason, she drew a sketch and wanted to go to the blacksmith's shop to find someone.

It is not difficult to make a zipper, the chain head is relatively easy to make, and the zipper teeth must be made.

"I'm afraid a blacksmith won't be able to make such an exquisite thing."

Bai Cha felt dizzy looking at the drawing, as the young lady said, as long as the chain is pulled up, the teeth on both sides will be misplaced and gathered together, replacing the buttons so simply.

However, there are too many zipper teeth, densely packed, and it takes a lot of effort to get the teeth up.

"There is no good thing that does not require effort. The premise of saving effort is to work hard."

A modern machine can finish it in a second, but it would take a day in Daqi. However, Daqi has no shortage of manpower, as long as the craftsman can make the zipper, it is not difficult.

Embroidery is so difficult, women can do it, let alone a small zipper.

"Miss, it's too late today, even if the servant finds the craftsman, he won't be able to enter the backyard of the Lin residence."

The second entrance to Lin's Mansion has been closed, so if you take the risk of bringing someone in, if Lin Yue'e finds out, it will cause trouble instead.

"Okay, then tomorrow morning."

Lin Yuesha is in a hurry. She will go home tomorrow and make instant noodles and hot and sour noodles first.

The maids were very interested in zippers, but they also raised a question. Iron zippers are too easy to rust. It is better to plate silver on the outer layer. This will greatly increase the cost and make it impossible to use widely.

Early the next morning, the jewelry craftsman was invited to Lin's mansion. Lin Yuesha didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she went to see the craftsman.

"The small one you said can be made, but it will take two days."

The required zipper is too fine, if it is made of silver, it must first be melted into silver wire, the process is very complicated, and the durability is not strong.

"Small ones can try to mix [-]% silver and copper to enhance toughness."

The craftsman thought of a way, Lin Yuesha thought it was feasible, and there was enough time, if she couldn't make the zipper later, she could only think about the buttons.

Two days before the fundraising banquet in the palace, Lin Yuesha went back to work at home, and the Lin family took a tacit attitude towards her not returning to Lin's mansion. Lin Shusheng didn't care about this daughter at all, so he didn't bother to send someone to ask.

The old lady Lin was even more eager. Lin Yuesha was a foodie, and she had to drink bird's nest porridge every time she returned home.

"Mom, I'll stay with you at home."

The Lin family couldn't get any wool out of it. Mrs. Lin and Shusheng Lin had learned to be smart, so they would only keep squeezing her.

"Mother has already said to bring you back."

Mrs. Chen immediately agreed that after Madam Xu left in a few days, she would be bored in the mansion with no one to talk to, so it would be better to have a daughter, a caring little padded jacket.

"That's what you think. The rest of the people are eager to have children."

Lin Yuesha fished out the fried instant noodles and wrapped them in oiled paper. They didn't take up much space, but they took up a lot of space.

"If it's really for incense, just find a son-in-law who comes to visit. Sons are all here to collect debts, so how can a girl be considerate?"

Xiao Chenggui likes daughters very much, and so does Mrs. Chen. Every day, she fantasizes that she can turn things around and give birth to a daughter.

When Lin Yuesha gets married in the future, she will have a little girl to accompany her. When the time comes, she will find a son-in-law who comes to visit, someone with a decent personality, and it will be good for the family to live happily together.

Lin Yuesha was surprised that the world favored boys over girls, but it was reversed for her mother.

"By the way, Xiaoya, I will do the rest of the work. Baozhu seems to be looking for you."

Chen suddenly remembered her purpose of coming to the kitchen, and urged her daughter to go.

"Miss Baozhu didn't go to the shop?"

Lin Yuesha got up and went to Xu's house, and then went back to work in the big kitchen.She wiped her hands with a cloth towel, just as she went out, she happened to meet Jiang Baozhu who had found the big kitchen.

"Sister Yuesha."

Jiang Baozhu twisted her fingers, with a preoccupied look on her face.

"Sister Baozhu, if you have something to do, just let the servant girl pass the message to me. Why did you come here by yourself?"

The cooking fume in the shop was heavy, and Jiang Baozhu did it herself, so much so that she smelled the fume and coughed. She couldn't sleep at night when it was serious a few days ago. Recently, she has been taking medicine for recuperation. Lin Yuesha didn't dare to let her into the kitchen.
