Chapter 318

Seeing Ke Hanxue who was dressed like a rice dumpling, Ke Zhong couldn't help asking: "Xue'er, are you feeling unwell?"

Although it is cold today, it is not necessary to wear so much, right?
"Mom, I'm not feeling sick, I just feel cold."

After hearing what she said, Ke Zhong reached out and touched his daughter's forehead, feeling that he didn't have a fever, he said: "Go out quickly, Mrs. Ge and Mr. Ge have been here for a while, don't leave a bad impression on them."

Ke Hanxue heard her anxiety from her mother's tone, so she had to follow out.

"Morning Mrs. Ge! Good morning, Mr. Ge!" Ke Hanxue greeted them, then sat down in a chair and dozed off with arms folded.

"Xue'er, did you not sleep well last night?" Seeing her listless look, Ge Shi asked with concern.

After hearing Ge Shi's question, Ke Zhongshi gave her daughter a wink in displeasure, but Ke Hanxue couldn't open her eyelids, how could she receive her wink, which made Ke Zhongshi half dead.

When Ke Hanxue heard Ge's calling her, she cheered up and said with a smile: "Ms. Ge, it was too cold last night, it was too cold to sleep."

"Isn't there a charcoal stove in the house? You need to burn a stove of charcoal before going to bed to warm the room so that you can fall asleep. I remember there are several baskets of charcoal in the firewood room." Ge Yunzhang couldn't wait for Ke Hanxue The appearance of hibernation, I just find it funny.

"Yeah, I forgot that you can burn charcoal!" Ke Hanxue exclaimed angrily, and must remember it tonight.

"Hey, I knew you couldn't get used to the weather here!" Geshi sighed worriedly.

"Ms. Ge, don't listen to her. We added an extra quilt last night and thought it was barely passable. It's not as cold as she said." Ke Zhong gave her daughter another gouging look.

Fortunately, after selling the bacon last time, I bought a set of cotton padded clothes for each of them, otherwise I don't know if the child has enough clothes to wear?
Ke Mengshi heard that Ke Hanxue said that it was too cold to sleep at night, so she said, "Xue'er, why don't you come to my room to sleep tonight, and the two of you can squeeze together to be warmer."

"Grandma, I don't want it anymore. You are a light sleeper, and I don't sleep well, so I will disturb you." Ke Hanxue began to doze off again after speaking.

Ge Yunzhang glanced at the drowsy Ke Hanxue, and could only ask Ke Zhongshi: "Auntie, how many pairs of gloves have you made?"

He came today to help them sell the gloves.

As soon as she heard the gloves, Ke Hanxue woke up suddenly, straightened her waist, and said to Ge Yunzhang: "There are three or four hundred pairs of men's and women's clothes."

Her reaction was already in Ge Yunzhang's expectation, and Ge Yunzhang said with a strong smile in his eyes: "Didn't you say last time that you would sell the gloves when it snowed? You take out those gloves, later I'll take it to a shop that sells ready-made clothes to see how much I can sell."

"Okay, okay, I'll go get it now!" Those gloves are all in her room, and there are several bags.

Ke Hanxue entered the inner courtyard and called out Ke Hanchun and Tongsuo's wife who were coaxing the children in the room, and took out a few bags.

Looking at the bags on the ground, Ge Yunzhang asked again: "Have you set a price for these gloves?"

Ke Hanxue thought for a while, and said, "Didn't you say last time that a pair can sell for four or five taels of silver? I think this is the price, and we will split the profit by half."

Ge Yunzhang deliberately ignored the second half of her sentence, thought for a moment, and said, "Women's gloves sell for five taels of silver, and men's gloves sell for six taels of silver."

"Ge Gongzi, do you also think this glove can be sold at this price?" Ke Zhong and others were quite surprised when Ge Yunzhang finished talking about the price.

"I think it should work!" Ge Yunzhang nodded.

Kong Dafu looked at the bags on the ground and asked nervously, "Then if these gloves can be sold, wouldn't we have made a fortune?"

Ke Hanxue laughed and said: "Brother-in-law, if this money is in Shuihe Village, it must be rich, but it is not necessarily here."

"I don't dare to think about getting rich. As long as the money sold is enough for our family's expenses here, I will be satisfied." Ke Shuisheng said.

While everyone was talking, Ke Jiangshi had already steamed the buns and brought them out.

"The steamed buns are ready, everyone hurry up and eat them while they're hot."

Ge's mother and son left after breakfast. Although Ke Hanxue still felt cold, when she thought that a pair of gloves could sell for five or six taels of silver, she became motivated. No matter how cold the weather was, no matter how stiff her fingers were, she would go back to her room to make gloves up.

Ke Shuisheng took some out of the firewood room, put some in the rooms where people slept, and burned it directly before going to bed at night.

Because Ke Hanxue and the others needed to sew gloves, they added charcoal to the stove and lit it. After a while, the room became warmer.

Ke Hanxue knew that the most feared thing about burning charcoal was carbon monoxide poisoning, so she opened a window in the house and told the family to pay attention to ventilation when burning charcoal at night, and then began to cut fur. .

There are still a few bags of scraps piled up in Ke Hanxue's room, so he doesn't plan to go to the tailor shop to collect scraps.

Because she knows that as soon as the gloves are sold today, the master tailors will definitely know the purpose of her scraps. When they see that the scraps can be made into gloves, they will definitely not give the scraps to themselves. They are tailors themselves. It is not difficult for them to make gloves, and they should also save the scraps to make gloves and sell them themselves.

However, Ke Hanxue is not worried that they will compete with him for business, because even if they want to sell gloves, it is impossible to make hundreds of pairs or thousands of pairs in a day to compete with him for business, and wait for them to make enough. Selling, maybe my gloves have been sold out, and the money has been earned.

It was snowing outside, Hong'er and the others couldn't play in the yard, and Ke Shuisheng and the big men had nothing to do, so the children and adults sat in the living room and stared at each other.

But a child is a child after all, Hong'er and Zhu'er couldn't sit still after a while.

"Father, I'm going to take a look at our cattle." After Hong'er finished speaking, he dragged Zhu'er into the side yard.

"Brother, it's a good thing you had the foresight to buy so much straw outside the city a few days ago, otherwise the cows would have no grass to eat when it snows." Ke Xisheng said.

"Hey, isn't there a way out? Your sister-in-law persuaded me to sell this cow a while ago, but this old man has been with me for so long and has earned a lot of money for the family. If I want to sell it, I really want to sell it. I can't bear it!" Ke Shuisheng sighed.

"I don't know what happened to the cow we left at the inn?" Kong Dafu heard what Ke Shuisheng said, and he also thought of the cow he was driving.

This person would think wildly when he was free, Ke Shuisheng and Kong Dafu were chatting, but Tongsuo thought of his parents who were far away in Shuihe Village.

Tongsuo also sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on at home?"
