Chapter 165 Down Vest
Mr. Cao was always in charge before lunch, and his family also ate, which can only be said to be barely enough.
But the Cao family is the master, and they are servants, or new servants. If the master doesn't say anything, they don't dare to come forward to interfere.
But today is different.
There are two distinguished guests here. If the Tang family invites guests over for dinner, the food they serve cannot be too shabby.
Of course, besides wanting to show loyalty, Yu Jiayao also had another purpose.
Her husband-in-law was still in jail, and she wanted to do more to express herself. If the eldest lady saw their family's ability, she might help her again, which would at least make her husband-in-law live a better life in prison.
Their family has no other skills but to strive for excellence in cooking.
"Okay, then you go find Li Da to support the money and see what the arrangements are."
Yunling said, then asked Zhou Qiong and Fang Zhilan: "I wonder if you two have any taboos?"
Zhou Qiong said: "No."
Fang Zhilan said, "Your lunch must be delicious. Unfortunately, an uncle at home has an appointment with me today. I have to rush back to the county now."
"Miss Tang, I'll come again next time."
Fang Zhilan turned around and saluted Mr. Tang and his wife, "When Xiao Ke was young, he heard his grandfather mention that he once made a loving couple who lived in Shanwan Village and was a medical practitioner. I think it was you and the old lady. Bar?"
Mr. Tang nodded with a smile: "If you say yes, then that should be it."
Wu gave the old man an angry look, "You are still joking with a junior at your age."
"This is the old man your grandfather was talking about."
Fang Zhilan suddenly prostrated himself on the ground, "My grandfather passed away young. Before he left, I mentioned that the two of us often sighed and expressed regret that we could not meet more to reminisce about old times. Today, Xiao Ke will take my place in my grandfather's place to meet you two."
Mrs. Wu hurriedly went to help him, "You kid, don't be polite, get up quickly!"
She looked closely at Fang Zhilan at close range, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became. "Don't give me such a big gift. Our two families are destined to be together. From now on, we can move around as relatives. We can come here often when we have nothing to do."
After seeing Fang Zhilan off, seeing that it was still early and Zhou Qiong looked like she didn't intend to leave, Yunling asked, "Prince Zhou, do you want to come with me to see the workshop?"
"also."
Zhou Qiong was still aloof, and Guan Yi almost covered his face.
It's hopeless, it's hopeless.
Zhou Qiong followed Yunling out of the door, but her steps could not hide her ease.
Mr. Fang is just a business partner.
Judging from Yunling's posture, she was clearly on guard against that person, but she was different. She was not on guard against herself, and was even willing to show him her workshop.
Different.
After entering the workshop, Yunling did not show Zhou Qiong the assembly line of the female workers, but took him to the small kitchen in the northeast corner.
This small kitchen is not used for cooking, but for slaughtering animals and processing animal hair.
Seeing countless duck and goose feathers, Zhou Qiong sighed: "The conditions are much better than on the boat."
There are not only washing pools, cooking pots, and even drying nets, which are much better than the small area on the boat.
Yunling was a little proud: "That's natural. I will do what I say."
The smell of this room was not pleasant, so Yunling did not let the "distinguished prince" stay for too long, and quickly led people to the room next door.
There were a lot of strangely cut white cloths on the table, and the sacks in the corner also contained bulging things, with a lot of white down stained on them.
Yunling rummaged through the cabinet on the side, and finally found the small "waistcoat" she had made a few days ago.
Because she made it, the stitching is a little crooked and the cutting is not smooth enough, but the down filling inside is very even.
"This is the cold-proof vest that I thought of. It's not very expensive and is very light to wear. It's just that the one I made is a bit ugly... How about letting Guan Yi try it on first?" she asked.
As soon as Guan heard the words, he took two steps forward. Just as he was about to take it, his master dodged and blocked the way.
"Since it's for the Zhenxi Army, it's natural for me to try it." Zhou Qiong took the vest and walked quickly to a small room separated by a curtain.
This is what Yunling just introduced, called a "fitting room."
Although what Zhou Qiong wore today was also luxurious, it was not a complicated robe, but a simple and elegant suit, which was cut to be quite slim and not loose.
But when he put on the vest underneath, he didn't feel bloated at all. It seemed that he had bought more clothes. Only when he touched it, could he feel the warmth under the outer robe.
"How are you doing? Do you feel warm?" Yunling asked with a smile.
I'm embarrassed to say it. In fact, she has worn it once before. It can be said that the down vest tested this time was very successful.
Zhou Qiong did not answer her directly, but asked: "How many of these vests can be made before next spring? I want them all."
This vest was thin but warm, and it would not affect his movement when wearing it. He could predict that when the two soldiers met on the battlefield in the future, the soldiers wearing down vests would already have a 30% advantage.
Yunling pondered for a moment: "We can make two hundred sets of vests with this thickness at present, and there are no more."
Looking at Zhou Qiong's anxious eyes, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's not that I don't want to help you do more, but it's hard to collect duck and goose feathers. Now there are almost all the people around Lingpu Town. Collect them, some of them have been saved by many people for a long time. You can't go out of your way to kill ducks for their feathers, right? It's not cost-effective."
"There are 100,000 soldiers in the Zhenxi Army," Zhou Qiong said.
This is because he only reported the number of people who can participate in the battle. In fact, there are many disabled soldiers. If possible, he would like to give one to each of them.
But he also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he just said: "Then I'll leave this to you."
He didn't mention the money, and Yun Ling didn't mention the money either. The two of them seemed to have forgotten the matter in a tacit understanding.
Yunling really didn't think about making money.
This cost is actually not much, it is just a matter of others not knowing it and taking advantage of it.
She thought that as long as the Tang family's business grew bigger and bigger, and they had more and more money, they could use part of it to "exchange duck feathers for sugar" and at most pay some wages to hire people to make down vests, which would not be considered a burden.
The only troublesome thing was that there were a lot of people in the Zhenxi Army, and each person had to wait for one piece, so she could only try her best.
But what Zhou Qiong was thinking about was which property among the Dukes of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion could be used to pay off their debts.
There were currently no losses and some money could still be made. He thought about it and found that there were very few.
this......
After lunch, Yunling said to Mr. Tang, "Grandpa, I plan to visit Pulao Mountain."
He turned around and asked Zhou Qiong, "Your Majesty, would you like to come with me to see the scenery of the mountains and seas?"
