In City X in November, the temperature difference between day and night is huge. When the sun is shining, you only need to wear a thin coat and long sleeves, but as soon as the sun goes down, the temperature drops immediately.
Qin Shi had already dug out the old sweaters and thick clothes for the family, and began to prepare winter clothes.
Qin Shi took out the jacket and let the children try it on, but none of them fit well.
During this period of time, they ate well, got taller, and gained weight. The old clothes from previous years were tight, like a fat ball. A few more clothes inside made it difficult to move.
"Hot~" An An put on a lot of clothes and twisted her body uncomfortably, Qin Shi hurriedly helped her take them off and let her wear normal clothes.
"It seems a bit small." Ping Ping dragged him to the big flowered jacket, which couldn't be worn by himself.
"Well, it's too small." Qin Shi turned out another jacket, saw that the sleeves and collar were frayed and frayed.
The jackets were all overhauled. Qin Shi checked carefully. There were obvious marks on the sleeves and trousers, which should have been made two years ago.
Looks like I'll have to redo the thicker clothes.
I looked through the closet again, and found that the other clothes were fine, and I could wear a lot of them, so I didn't need to redo them all.
Qin Shi probably had an idea in mind, folded all the clothes and put them in the cabinet, thinking about whether to make down jackets.
It is hard to find duck down and goose down, and there is no meat and poultry factory nearby, so you can only go to the city to find it. Besides, she didn't want much, so they might not bother to sell it to her.
Take more? Do you sell a lot of down jackets?
Qin Shi shook her head slightly. This is not an easy task. Although the country has its own down jacket factory a few years ago, the clothes are ugly, hairy, and bloated. They are expensive and few people buy them.
An adult one costs more than fifty, ugly and expensive.
The down jacket at this time was called "bread jacket". It was not until the down jacket was improved in the 1990s that it became popular.
Nowadays, people are still proud of military coats in winter. Thick, warm, and serious military overcoats are all military supplies, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get them.
Lu Zetian naturally has them, he doesn't have to worry about them, but the children can't.
Qin Shi sighed, thinking that she should make jackets this year, and she will focus on clothing next year, and it will definitely improve by the end of next year, so she will do it at that time.
Three children including her own, and four jackets, which can be made with waste of cloth, cotton, and time. Qin Shi originally planned to collect some wool and knitting to sell when she came back, but in this situation, let's forget it.
Qin Shi rolled her eyes and thought of Aunt Zhao. She is very good at weaving things, and there must be some good ones in the army. Can she make some patterns, let them weave them, and then send them to the county or city to sell?
Isn't Mo Ling's good sister Song Sinuo running a clothing store in the county? At that time, can I put her there for consignment?
But knitting a sweater is also very troublesome, how about a scarf? There are many kinds of scarves in later generations, such as long, short, lettered, patterned, loose and fluffy with thick wool and so on.
There are even more needles, such as fishbone needles, lover buttons, twill stitches, lovesickness buttons... There are a lot of net red weaving methods.
In the later generations, there was a trend of knitting scarves by yourself. Her good sister also studied this every day, and she also watched it for a long time.
Qin Shi thought about those weaving methods carefully, and rummaged through the memory in her mind, and soon, all kinds of methods came out.
It was as if her memories from her previous life had been stored, but now Qin Shi searches for them casually, and those memories will be recalled. It's like the brain is a computer, and all the memories are stored in the hard disk. If she searches it, it will be fully displayed.
I don't know if this cheat was sent by the system or what happened, and I haven't found it before. It was when Qin Shi was making cakes two days ago that she was trying to recall the ratio of ordinary flour to starch to replace low-gluten flour.
There was nothing that required her to think this way before, so she never noticed it.
Although when cooking, the recipe came out immediately, but Qin Shi also thought that it was brought by Chef Goldfinger, so he didn't think much about it.
This cheat is very powerful, Qin Shi can even turn out the memories of childhood and everything that he caught a glimpse of accidentally, it just takes a little longer.
If the impression is deep, the memory will emerge quickly. If the impression is not deep, then you need to find it bit by bit.
Qin Shi still remembered the weaving method of this scarf, so she dug it out without much use.
After carefully recalling it, she wrote down the mess and took this matter to heart.
When Mo Ling finished her work and they went to the city together, she would go to Song Sinuo's shop first, and then find out. If you really succeed, come back to find someone. Although time is tight, you can still make a small profit.
After Qin Shi finished her plan, she happily got up and went to work.
In the afternoon, Aunt Zhao came to deliver a basket of sweet potatoes. "My relatives came this morning and brought a big bag of sweet potatoes. I steamed them twice at noon. They were so sweet!"
"Take it and taste it, I remember that children like sweet things."
Qin Shi saw that there were big and plump sweet potatoes in the basket, and she was shocked: "This is too much!"
This sweet potato looks really good.
Aunt Zhao stuffed the basket into Qin Shi's hands, "Don't be polite to me, I'm so dead, I can't even lift it!"
Qin Shi just wanted to say that taking a few would be enough, but Aunt Zhao understood what she was thinking, and said before she could speak: "You're welcome, sweet potatoes are only worth how much, you made that cream cake two days ago, tsk tsk tsk! Good guy, our old Zhao said that there are more than 20 ones for sale outside!"
"That's all made by myself." Qin Shi carried the sweet potato and put it on the ground directly after feeling its weight.
Good weight.
"That material is not cheap." Aunt Zhao waved her hand, pretending to be angry: "If you refuse again, I will be angry! Our two families are not outsiders, just a few sweet potatoes."
Aunt Zhao had already talked about this point, so Qin Shi didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Then thank you."
"Hey~" Aunt Zhao looked at Qin Shi with a smile, just like looking at her own children, "Why are you being polite to Auntie!"
Aunt Zhao nodded: "That's necessary. Everyone in the family knits sweaters by themselves every year. What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
"You want to learn? My aunt will teach you!" Aunt Zhao was very enthusiastic.
The matter of selling scarves has not yet been decided, and Qin Shi didn't plan to talk about it, but she needed a few samples, so she explained her plan to Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao heard that Qin Shi didn't have time to make jackets for the children. She had many designs and planned to sell them in the city, so she clapped her hands immediately: "I'll do it! It's simple!"
"We have a small family, and we don't need to make clothes. I have nothing to do in winter, so I just do it when I am raising children." Aunt Zhao asked enthusiastically, "What kind of tricks are you going to do? I know a lot of stitches." !"
Seeing Aunt Zhao's expression, Qin Shi knew that she liked these, so she said with a smile: "I plan to use thick wool to knit looser ones. Those are simple, have many patterns, and are more fashionable. They should be sold in clothing stores in the city. Young people like it."
Although there are many styles of scarves today, they are all tightly woven. The loose wool and thick woolen patterns of later generations are still rare.
"Well, I have a lot of rough wool at home, why don't you take a look?" Aunt Zhao asked Qin Shi.
Qin Shi nodded with a smile, turned her head and shouted into the room: "Peace and safety, I'm going to Grandma Zhao's house, will you go?"
"Go, go!" An'an's voice came out before he saw him.
Soon, she pulled Pingping and ran out, then smiled and said hello to Aunt Zhao sweetly: "Grandma Zhao~"
Aunt Zhao immediately grinned when she saw the two children. She patted their heads one by one, "Okay, okay, let's go to grandma's house, grandma will bring you biscuits to eat!"
Qin Shi put the sweet potatoes in the yard, closed the door, opened the door, and brought the children into Aunt Zhao's house.
In this era, everyone is very simple. The military compound is full of family members of soldiers, there are no thieves, and there are many people who do not lock the door when they go out.
Qin Shi, who goes out and closes the door, is very cautious here.
The Zhao family has already set up a stove in the house, Qin Shi looked at the big thick chimney, and was a little surprised: "It started burning so early?"
Aunt Zhao brought biscuits for the twins, came out to listen to Qin Shi's questions, and explained: "If you have children, you should take them out early and burn them sooner or later, otherwise the room will be chilly."
Qin Shi nodded. The temperature has dropped very quickly recently. It is still very cold in the morning and evening. The baby is only over one year old, and the resistance is indeed relatively weak. It is good to burn the stove.
Aunt Zhao gave the dragon and phoenix biscuits, and the dragon and phoenix were not welcome. The two of them are too familiar, especially when Qin Shi came recently, the two families often send food to each other, and the twins have run out of experience in running errands.
As long as it is not particularly expensive, twins can eat whatever they want, because they know that their family will give away other things, and they are not free to eat and drink.
But it's Aunt Zhao's house. If it's someone else's house, twins wouldn't be like this.
"Thank you grandma!" The twins took the biscuits and smiled sweeter at Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao, who already liked children, laughed even more.
"Grandma, where's your brother? Are you sleeping again?" Pingping asked while eating.
"Yeah, this kid is very lazy, he loves to sleep." Aunt Zhao patted Pingping's head.
Pingping lowered his voice when he heard the words: "Then we will play with him when he wakes up."
"Okay, so good," Aunt Zhao went to pour water for them, and then went to the bedroom to get wool.
Aunt Zhao came out with a pile of wool. Qin Shi saw the thickness and thought it was true.
The thickest ones are also very thin. What she wanted was the extra thick ones, which really didn't exist in this era.
"Does the supply and marketing cooperative have thicker ones than this?" Qin Shi asked unwillingly.
Aunt Zhao: "There are thicker ones, but they're not too thick."
Qin Shi sighed in her heart, picked up the wool and touched it to feel the softness.
Seeing that she was dissatisfied, Aunt Zhao asked, "How thick do you want?"
Qin Shi: "The thicker the better."
Aunt Zhao clicked her tongue, "They are all this thick. I haven't seen one that is too thick."
Qin Shi knew this would be the result a long time ago, and she was not too disappointed, "It's okay, when the time comes, rub a few together, it will be similar."
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the county to pull cloth and cotton, and I'll take a look at the wool by the way." Qin Shi asked Aunt Zhao, "Shall I go grocery shopping tomorrow?"
Aunt Zhao waved her hand: "I just went yesterday, and the cabbage in the vegetable garden is already ripe, so I won't go."
Qin Shi also thought of the vegetables in her field, so she said with a smile: "The leeks in my field can be cut, I will send some later."
Aunt Zhao smiled: "Success, it happens that Lao Zheng wants to eat dumplings, so I'll make some with leeks and eggs."
The two were chatting and laughing, when they suddenly heard the sound of a car outside and someone talking, there was a lot of movement.
Aunt Zhao was a little curious: "Why is this?"
Qin Shi: "Go out and have a look, I just happened to be home and cooking."
The two came out together with the twins, and when they walked out of the yard, they were surprised to see Lu Zetian directing the moving of the big box.
"What is this for?"
The author has something to say:
qwq, my nose is so blocked, woo woo woo! Otherwise, it would be difficult to pass at the same time, and the throat would become inflamed and unable to breathe, which would be too uncomfortable!
