Happy peasant girl

Chapter 201 Melaleuca Shoes (2)
"Okay!" Mrs. Ye's voice answered loudly from the kitchen.

"Xi girl, this is..." Mu felt a little strange, she thought it would take a few days for Ye to have the energy to do something.

At this time, Jing Xiu explained the doubts in the hearts of several people: "Xi'er wants Grandma to do something, so that Grandma won't be too worried."

"It's still my little sister who is thoughtful. We all thought that grandma would only get better if she rested her body. Grandma is not a physical illness, but a heart disease." Qin also breathed a sigh of relief. She became thinner and thinner day by day, and the atmosphere at home was also very dull, and she, the eldest grandson-in-law, felt uncomfortable.

"Sister-in-law is right, I think grandma's illness can only be cured by younger sister." Wu also said with a smile.

Jing Xiu didn't go back to the medical center, he had lunch with the old Lin's family, and he went back to the medical center after dinner, but after returning to the medical center, he deliberately "worn out" his shoes .

The rest of the family members went to work in the field, Lin Qingxi and Ye Shi stayed in the yard to cut the soles of shoes, Haitong and Hailan helped, and Lin Nianyu and Lin Nian Shui went to play with Xiao Shengzi.

After all the soles were cut, Lin Qingxi told Ye Shi that the four sides of each sole should be wrapped with new white cloth strips, and then these wrapped soles should be glued together, preferably with eight or nine layers. .

"Girl Xi, what should I do after the soles are glued together?" Only now did Ye realize that Lin Qingxi said that the cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles are really exquisite, but I don't know if they are really as special as she said Durable.

"Grandmother, the next step is the bottom of the circle. Just like me, use hemp rope to sew the glued sole along the four sides. It must be sewn tightly. The last is the shoe sole. It is best to use this kind of fine hemp rope. Because it is strong, and the pinholes need to be fine, the hand strength should be stronger when inserting the sole, and it is better to insert more than [-] stitches per square inch of the sole, and it must be even." Lin Qingxi's hand strength is not very strong, but fortunately She had prepared an iron ring in advance, so it could barely fit the soles of her shoes.

Ye Shi had already imitated Lin Qingxi's way and sewed the edge of the shoe, and then began to put on the sole, and the stitches were so fine and tight that Lin Qingxi yelled that she didn't look like she was putting on the sole for the first time.

After putting the soles of the two pairs of shoes in place, Lin Qingxi asked Ye Shi to soak them in hot water to make them hot, and then use a small hammer at home to flatten them.In this way, the sole of the thousand-ply bottom is completely done.

When Linyuanshan and Linzhongguo came back in the evening, Linqingxi had already prepared dinner with Haitong and Hailan, and Ye Shi was sewing the uppers on the soles. Her first pair of cloth shoes with mille-ply soles was naturally It was made for Linyuan Mountain.

Before going to bed at night, Linyuanshan put on the first pair of cloth shoes with a thousand-ply sole in his life, and it was also the first pair of cloth shoes with a thousand-ply bottom in the true sense of the state of Chu.

Lin Zhongguo was the second to wear cloth shoes with thousand layers of soles, but his shoes were made by Lin Qingxi and Mu Shi.

Linqingxi was beaten a lot at once, and Ye Shi really found a job to do. He was busy wrapping shoe edges and fitting shoe soles every day, and soon all the women in the village knew that Ye Shi could make cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles. , this shoe is not only durable, but also very comfortable to wear.

Therefore, everyone came to Lin's ancestral home to look for Mrs. Ye, hoping that she could teach them how to make shoe soles. Lin Qingxi encouraged Mrs. Ye to go out and teach the women in the village to make cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles.

"Grandma, I have already signed an agreement with the cloth shops in Xiao'an Town and Fu'an Town. From now on, their cloth heads will be sold to me at a low price. You can use these cloth heads to make cloth shoes." Lin Qingxi said in the first The first time I took a nap, I asked Jasmine and Qiangwei to go to two towns. Ye Shi was not willing to waste good cloth, so she found a cloth head for her.

"Girl Xi, you can't buy back all the cloth heads just because you want Grandma to be busy. Grandma knows that you taught Grandma how to make cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles because you don't want Grandma to think too much about things. Grandma understands that But we can make so many cloth shoes at once, our family can’t wear them all!” Ye said to Lin Qingxi while holding the soles in his hands.

"Grandmother, you also made yourself a pair of these thousand-ply-soled cloth shoes, how do you like them?" Lin Qingxi asked suddenly.

"Of course it's good! I've never worn such comfortable shoes. Both your grandfather and your father said that wearing these cloth shoes to work in the field feels a lot more energy on your body, even walking is faster than before. Hurry up. Your two sisters-in-law will also let me teach them, and Nianyu and Nianshui are very fond of them." Speaking of the feelings of his family members wearing mille-soled cloth shoes these days, Ye felt a burst of satisfaction, even The cloth shoes that Lin Qingxi is wearing now are also made by her overnight.

"Grandma, have you ever thought about making this kind of thousand-ply bottom cloth shoes for sale?" Although the villagers in Linjia Village are not suitable to be businessmen at present, the old people and women living in the village can "work" when they have nothing to do. ", and then find a businessman to cooperate, and you can also earn some pocket money.

"Sell? Girl Xi, you mean, you want grandma to make this kind of shoes for sale?" Ye thought she had heard wrong, so she asked Lin Qingxi again.

"That's right, grandma! Now only you and I can make this kind of thousand-ply-soled cloth shoes, and the soles you made are the best in my opinion. Yesterday, my fourth senior brother Yu Wei wrote to me, coming to I asked for his wedding gift, and the letter also said that his wife was pregnant, and asked me to give a big gift to his child. I plan to give the child shoes and clothes throughout the year, and Brother Weixuan also has them in the capital. Shop, I want to open a store with him in the capital that specializes in children's clothes and shoes, and by the way, let the fourth senior brother's child who is about to be born give me a publicity." Lin Qingxi's idea was received yesterday by Yu Wei and Wei Xuan generated when a letter arrives.

The reason why she thinks this way is because she wants Ye Shi to have something to do in the future, so that she won't worry too much about Lin Qingfei and Lin Qinghe going to sea; the second is that when Yu Wei got married, she was still on the way to Wu Guo As a junior sister, she has not expressed anything yet, this time she really intends to give Yu Wei and Tong Ningxin a big gift; third, Wei Xuan wrote to say that he wants to open a shop with her in the capital, and he is short of money recently, and she She also felt that she owed Wei Xuan a great favor, although she couldn't repay it all at once, but at least it made her feel better.

"Girl Xi, didn't you say you don't want to be a businessman?" Lin Qingxi even transferred the pickle shop to someone else, so why is she thinking about selling shoes to make money?Ye Shi felt even more puzzled.

"Grandma, I am not a businessman, but a worker. We are only responsible for providing cloth shoes and children's clothes to Brother Wei Xuan, and let him buy the fabrics for making shoes and clothes. It can be regarded as a worker in his shop, as long as he pays us wages." Lin Qingxi had already figured it out, before she had justified her name as a businessman, she first made money as a "farmer" and "worker", and then If she finds a suitable opportunity, she will definitely work hard to improve the status of the businessman in Chu.
