"Thank you, Madam."
Early the next morning, Su Shuiche carefully went downstairs with the cotton bag she had sewn last night and thanked the shopkeeper's wife, who was having breakfast.
"You're welcome, Miss."
The shopkeeper's wife was also a docile person, especially after the two wolf pups subdued her two naughty children. Her attitude towards Su Shuiche was naturally better than others.
"If Miss still needs it, I have some more.
You're welcome. "
Although the shopkeeper's wife did not know what Su Shuiche was going to do with the cotton, she knew that she had to respect the privacy of her guests as an inn owner.
She should not ask what she should not ask, and she should not ask what the guest did not want to say.
"Thank you, Madam." Su Shuiche nodded with a smile.
Last night, she had sewn six cotton bags with the white cotton flowers.
Because there was no absorbent paper, the effect was not as good as the cotton bags she used before.
However, compared to the pure white cotton, it was naturally much better.
At least she only changed it once last night, and there was no leakage.
After she changed the cotton bag, she washed it with water and hung it on the windowsill to dry.
Under the scorching summer sun, in less than half a day, it would be dry enough and loose enough to be reused later.
However, it was easy to harden if it was used too many times.
Then it needed to be taken apart and the cotton inside needed to be loosened with cow tendon silk. Then, it could be sewn again.
In short, Su Shuiche was already very satisfied to be able to use such a cotton bag for now.
After all, she had learned from the servant girl who cleaned the room that the women here used cloth bags sewn with plant ash when they were menstruating.
White cotton was sewn inside as a menstrual pad. Only the daughters of wealthy families could afford to use such a thing.
Su Shuiche felt ashamed when she heard this.
Well, she really did not know. However, even if she knew now, it was a little difficult to use plant ash as a pad under her body.
So … Su Shuiche clenched her fists. Next spring, one of the two mu of good farmland must be reserved for cotton.
As for how to grow cotton, he would go to Shu Si to buy some books on farming after he moved in.
If the two of them wanted to truly integrate into the farming life of Blossom Town, it was impossible for them not to understand farming.
Moreover, she didn't think that Lin Siyao, an assassin, knew how to farm.
Therefore, the farmer's life of the two could be said to be long and demanding.
…
Lin Siyao still went back and forth to Blossom Town every day.
He packed two steamed buns in the morning and ate them with water at noon.
As a result, the four carpenters, who were immersed in their work, did not dare to go home for lunch.
Their master was already like this. How could they, who were paid by others, have the nerve to go home and eat hot food and drink hot soup?
Thus, the next day, the four of them each ate two cornbread to pass the time for lunch.
His work speed was also getting faster and faster.
There were only three days left until the promised ten days. If he didn't hurry up, not to mention his master's unsightly expression, he wouldn't be able to receive any additional rewards.
On this day, there were a few women outside the fence of the house. From time to time, they would poke their heads into the house and look around. They were also muttering something that no one knew what they were talking about.
"Isn't it because they want to ask for some leftover wood? This kind of thing happens every time. This time, they only came after seven days. They are already enduring enough." Feng Laoliu looked outside and shook his head. He was still speeding up his cutting.
"Hey, isn't that the Hua Family's woman from the east?
She has the nerve to come? "
The youngest, Fang Dasheng, occasionally swept his gaze over the Hua Family's woman, Liu Shi, who was sandwiched in the crowd. He couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Tsk … You don't know this. The Hua Family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are famous in Blossom Town.
You want to find embarrassment on her face?
How is that possible! "The slightly lame Wang Shuifa was the cousin of the village chief, Wang Gengfa. He was really good at carpentry.
However, the master rarely picked him when choosing carpentry. First, he was a little lame. Second, he was the cousin of the village chief. How much would be appropriate for him to be paid?
If the carpentry he made was not satisfactory, would his salary be deducted?
As a result, they simply didn't look for him.
This time, if Lin Siyao hadn't asked Feng Laoliu to recommend three more skilled carpenters, Feng Laoliu wouldn't have thought of him.
However, later, when he saw that Lin Siyao didn't have the slightest concern in this regard, his hanging heart was relieved.
"Ah Fa is right. The Hua Family's woman is really stingy. My wife also suffered a loss because of her." The last to speak was the Hua Family's neighbor, Tian Dafu.
When his straightforward wife, Aunt Tian, first married into the Tian Family, she suffered a few hidden losses because of the Hua Family's woman, Liu Shi. Later, she never got along with the Hua Family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Lin Siyao was in the right wing measuring the size of the furniture he was going to build next. When he came out, he heard the murmurs of the four carpenters. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the low fence that only climbed up to his knees. He swept his gaze over the group of women outside the house.
"That … Young Master … Do you still remember me?" When the Hua Family's woman saw Lin Siyao come out, she smiled and went forward to talk to him.
Lin Siyao raised his eyebrows. How could he not remember the woman who came out?
However, he had promised Su Shuiche that he wouldn't casually hurt people, so he resisted the urge to throw her into the river.
"That, Young Master, we are … Seeing that there is so much wood in your house, there should be a lot of leftovers from the furniture … Uh … There should be a lot of leftovers … Hehe … Can you give them to us?" The Hua Family's woman was pushed out to be the spokesperson of this group of women, so she stammered and explained the purpose of her visit.
Leftovers?
Lin Siyao sneered in his heart, but his face didn't show it. He turned his head and asked the four carpenters who didn't dare to breathe loudly and only focused on their work, "After the furniture is finished, the leftover wood is called leftovers?"
"Young Master, you must be joking. With so much wood, there should be a lot of leftovers after the furniture is finished. There should even be a few big trees left.
How could it be leftovers like what they said? "Feng Laoliu received Lin Siyao's gaze and pretended to be calm as he spoke.
"Very good."
Lin Siyao nodded and then turned to the group of women who still didn't give up. "Come and get it in five days."
After saying this, he walked into the side room and began to measure the size of the furniture that needed to be placed in the kitchen.
When the group of women heard that there was really something to take, they left happily.
Feng Laoliu and the other three looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of their master's words.
Until the evening, Lin Siyao said to the four carpenters who were packing up their tools and preparing to go home, "Extend it for two more days.
If they can't finish it in five days, not only will they not be rewarded, but the leftover wood will be given to them. "
When Feng Laoliu and the other three heard this, their faces lit up with joy. This means that if they finish on time, the leftover wood will be shared among them?
The four of them looked at Lin Siyao in unison, their eyes full of longing and curiosity.
Feng Laoliu immediately patted his chest and promised, "Deal!
Deal!
Young Master, don't worry, we will definitely finish it!
If we don't have time, we will light candles at night. "The other three hurriedly nodded in agreement.
They were afraid that Lin Siyao would go back on his word.
Lin Siyao nodded and didn't pay any more attention to them. He jumped a few feet away and soon disappeared in front of the four people.
"Wow!
He really knows martial arts! "Fang Dasheng praised with sparkling eyes.
"Yes, he didn't even lock the door today. Could it be …"
That night, Feng Laoliu and the other three were energized and rushed through the night with candlelight. They didn't lock the door and go home until midnight.
When the four men's wives heard this, they were very supportive and even insisted on working with them.
No matter what, the four of them would be able to get enough wood for a big table.
