Chapter 1571: Chapter 1570: Take the Descendants of Liuli Out for a Walk_1
After sending Jina off, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but click her tongue in amazement.
"A woman’s marriage is like being reborn for the second time, and if she marries poorly, her life can be tough unless she has a strong family backing her, which can make her days comfortable."
Her own family wasn’t strong; she had to be strong herself.
Reflecting briefly, she quickly pushed these thoughts aside and decided to focus on the wool.
She had sheep in her mansion, gifted by Yang Wenxiao, and the sheep’s milk she regularly drank came from these very animals.
She and Tong Sanlang plucked some wool from the sheep and carried it back to their house.
Then, the two of them stared at each other, clueless.
Neither of them knew how to weave...
They were utterly ignorant.
Having no other option, Tong Sanlang called for some people and asked who knew how to weave silk or linen; the principle should be the same, right?
After questioning a few people and gaining some experience, the two of them began by washing the wool. They washed it several times with hot water, then laid it out to dry. Once dried, they brushed it vigorously with brushes to fluff it up as much as possible before starting to spin the fluffed wool into yarn on a spinning wheel.
The process was surprisingly simple, so much so that it seemed unbelievable to them.
Is that really it?
How extraordinary!
Its simplicity bewildered them, and they soon became anxious about what kind of excuse to give Yang Wenxiao for this.
And now that the wool had turned into yarn, how should they use it to weave clothes?
Qiao Xiaomai had some experience with handcrafting and simple braiding, but such braiding techniques were too advanced for the current era. Recently, there had been rumors about a "Cornucopia", and if she brought out a woolen sweater now, even Yang Wenxiao might suspect she actually had a "Cornucopia" that spat out fresh ideas.
Oh no, what should she do!
In the past, she made delicacies and could devise a reasonable excuse for any novel handcrafted items, but for a woolen sweater, at present, she and Tong Sanlang couldn’t think of any convincing excuse.
What to do?
If they couldn’t come up with an excuse, they couldn’t show it to Yang Wenxiao; without showing it to Yang Wenxiao, they wouldn’t be able to purchase wool in bulk; without purchasing wool in bulk, they wouldn’t be able to produce woolen sweaters. When the market picked up again, they wouldn’t have any quality goods to make a profit!
"If all else fails, we’ll just be blunt about it and claim it’s from Liuli’s descendants who came back and gave it to us, telling us to make it according to their design," Qiao Xiaomai said.
It was time to bring Liuli’s descendants, previously only existing in legends, into the spotlight.
The rumors about a "Cornucopia" were rampant, and it was a good reminder for Yang Wenxiao that she and Tong Sanlang had powerful backing. Even if they had a "Cornucopia", it would be associated with Liuli’s descendants.
Tong Sanlang frowned, struggling to decide.
In his view, Liuli’s descendants should maintain their mystique, only appearing at crucial moments. The more mysterious they were, the more awe they commanded!
If they showed up too frequently, Yang Wenxiao, being shrewd, might become suspicious.
"How often have they appeared? They only showed up briefly when the Emperor was poisoned by the ’Flower of Hell’, then three months later in the secret tunnel, which was essentially one occurrence. Now, we’re targeted by vile rumors; it’s perfectly normal for them to make an appearance and assert their presence," Qiao Xiaomai argued.
"Right now, we’re despised by all the wealthy, standing against them. At this point, only the retired emperor can protect us."
"I say, let’s bring out Liuli’s descendants for a walk!"
