The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 104 It's Cold

Xu Zhixiang agreed, "In addition to character, you also have to choose your appearance. My daughter is so good-looking, and my son-in-law can't be ugly."

In the eyes of the mother, her own child is undoubtedly the best, not to mention that Su Xiaoye is getting more and more beautiful now, even more beautiful than the most beautiful young lady she has ever seen before.

When it comes to looks, Su Xiaoye, who was originally talking about other people's affairs with Xu Zhixiang, was a little shy, and mumbled, "That...that's fine!"

On the contrary, Xu Zhixiang, who was talking seriously, was amused. She thought her eldest daughter had a thick skin, and her face would not change when she talked about future marriage with her mother. Isn't she also shy?
Even though it wasn't snowing, it was getting colder every day. It was only at the end of October that I could feel the north wind blowing, blowing on my face like a cold knife. It is colder in winter months.

There was a severe drought this year, and there was no cotton harvest. Even if the imperial court transferred cotton and cotton cloth from other places to sell, the price of winter clothes was three or four times higher than in previous years, including the manpower and material resources required for transportation.

The price of food has risen, and other prices have also risen gradually. This time, the price of cotton cloth has risen again, and many people can't afford it. They can only make do with old clothes from previous years.

Although it was cold at this time, it was not so cold that it was unbearable.But if it takes more than a month, until the twelfth lunar month of winter, without winter clothes to keep out the cold, I don't know how many people will freeze to death.

On the other hand, Su Xiaoye received the cotton sent by Xiao Changan from other places in the red rope space. Knowing that he personally went to a place where there was no drought to buy the cotton at a normal price, she actually felt that their red rope space was a good helper for buying and selling. .

Mixing those cottons with the cotton grown on the farm, and processing them together into cotton clothes and quilts, although it is not as warm and comfortable as using the cotton grown on the farm, it is also more comfortable than using only the outer cotton to keep warm and comfortable. Even if it looks thin, there is absolutely no problem in keeping warm.

After the upgrade, the farm unlocked long-haired sheep. Su Xiaoye also raised a lot of them. She can shear a lot of wool every day. Su Xiaoye also made these wool into warm clothes, and even processed a lot of down jackets in the workshop. .

Xu Zhixiang was surprised when she held it in her hand. It was so light that it seemed to have no weight, but why was it so warm when she wore it?Warmer than thick and heavy winter coats.

These were all stored by Su Xiaoye in the farm warehouse, just waiting for Xiao Changan's arrangement.

However, when the weather is cold and the old clothes are not warm enough, more firewood is needed at home than in previous years. Many families want to save more firewood to survive the cold winter.

There are also many people who go to the mountains to cut firewood in order to add income to their families. In addition to their own households, many of them are sold in the city and returned for some rice.

I don’t want to see a lot of people going up the mountain with axes and hatchets, only to find that many officers and soldiers are blocked on the way into the mountain, and there are also a few mountain patrol teams. You can't cut it all at once.

This makes many people who want to cut firewood halfway up the mountain in order to cut more quickly back and forth are reluctant.

If it takes half an hour to cut a carload of firewood nearby, and then go to a place where the firewood can be cut, it will take more than an hour to go back and forth. Not only will it take several times more effort, but also how much less money will be earned?

But the government is strict, and after arresting a few disobedient people and putting them in prison, and fined them some money, those who want to chop firewood and sell them for money are also honest. No one dared to disobey the orders of people chopping firewood.

Su Xiaoye understood that this was Xiao Chang'an's order to prevent the landslide from cutting down all the trees on the hillside, and she believed more and more in her heart that he really wanted to lead the people through these disaster years.
