Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 245 Happy Lord Pei

The quilts were also so soft and light that even Lord Pei, a rough old man in his sixties who had spent his entire life in the military, felt that he would damage the soft goose down quilts if he touched them.

So, he had no choice but to put on a new military quilt outside, and then Lord Pei dared to sleep. It was really warm, just like sleeping in a pile of clouds. My usually cold feet were no longer cold. I always felt that the air was leaking around my shoulders, but now it was no longer leaking. I was wrapped up in it, just like being hugged by someone. It was really good.

Old Lord Pei is so lucky. He has never used such a good quilt in his life. Hua girl is really more caring than his own daughters and granddaughters.

Of course, Hualei also made a down vest and goose down quilt for Mrs. Pei, and even made spare ones for her to wash. Mrs. Pei couldn't help but sigh at Hualei's thoughtfulness.

Similarly, Hualei also sent a down vest and a goose down quilt to Gui Jijiu and Bai Houye. Fortunately, Ruyi later sent several pieces of fabrics in cyan and black, so Hualei made them cyan down vests so that Gui Jijiu and Bai Houye could wear them. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't dare to wear the off-white and lotus root powder ones.

A big customer with thick thighs, Hua Lei thought she had to show some appreciation to maintain the relationship, but she only gave one. It was really because Mo Bei wanted a lot and they were short of staff. Even when Liang Xiangyi came to get the goods, they could only squeeze out a part for her.

This won't work. Goose down quilts and down jackets are best sold in winter. Hualei thought, since it's too late and it's not suitable to keep buying slaves, let's find a group of temporary workers first. Let's digest this year's inventory of duck and goose down first, and then see the situation next year. If necessary, buy more slaves or find a group of fixed women to open a garment workshop.

Therefore, we first looked for the women of the retired soldiers in the village, set up a courtyard and divided them into two groups. One group was responsible for making goose down quilt covers, with only one opening for filling the quilt with goose down. The other group was responsible for making certain procedures for down jackets, and the down jacket group was responsible for the final assembly, so as not to leak the patterns and samples of military camp clothing.

Soon, the finished quilt covers and down jackets came out one by one. The people in the down jacket group were specifically responsible for filling, shaping, and assembling them every day. In this way, the speed of producing down jackets and goose down quilts was greatly improved.

Soon, another batch was sent from Mobei, and Liang Xiangyi also loaded several ships and went to several prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. Hua Lei also sent ships herself to Yongjia Prefecture twice and Wuling Prefecture once.

Shangguan sent back a letter saying that Hualei's toothbrushes and soaps were selling very well in Yongjia Prefecture, so she asked Hualei to send more. In addition, the bookstore in Yongjia Prefecture was also doing very well, so she also asked Hualei to help send another batch of rice-shaped and field-shaped grids. Hualei also needed to replenish the rice-shaped and field-shaped grids for her own contract.

So, when I sent books to Yongjia Prefecture in early October, I also sent a batch of materials such as rice grid and field grid, toothbrushes and soap. After I came back, I saw that the goose down quilts and other things were pressed again, so I sent goose down quilts, soap and toothbrushes, and also went to Sha's Fabric Workshop to buy a batch of fabrics.

On Ruyi's side, Cheng Yunzhou also brought a batch of soap and toothbrushes after sending the fabrics Hualei needed. Even Lord Bo and Gui Jijiu joined in the fun and asked for fifty goose down quilts each, saying that they were going to give them to others and their sons and grandchildren. They really cared about the younger generation. For a while, Hualei was looking at the account book and counting the money every night.

Of course, Hualei doted on herself very much. She replaced goose down quilts for herself and Xiaoyuan in Qingyun Lane and the Marquis' Mansion. Uncle Fu and Aunt Song also ordered soft goose down quilts. Xiaoyuan and Rongjue also had down vests made for them. Hualei also replaced goose down quilts for them in the building of the Imperial College.

Of course, Hua Lei was not stingy. Thinking of Bai Yunhe's kindness in sending her medicine and their friendship as classmates, she gave a set of medicine to Bai Yunhai and Zhou Ziren. Of course, the other party was also very generous and insisted on giving them silver. After Hua Lei confiscated it, they also gave Xiao Yuan other thank-you gifts.

As for Rong Jin, Hua Lei also made him a down vest and goose down quilt, just like Xiao Yuan and Rong Jue. When the goose down quilts on the farm were in stock, Hua Lei also sent a goose down quilt to each room in the Marquis's mansion.

However, only one quilt was given to each room, not to each person. After all, each room in the mansion had wives and concubines, legitimate sons and illegitimate sons. Hualei couldn't afford it, nor did she want to. However, Hualei still gave each of Pearl and Agate a goose down quilt, with the main idea that different fingers have different lengths and brothers have different kinship.

At first, the rooms didn't take the goose down quilts Hualei sent them seriously, and some even disdained them. However, after they actually used them, they realized that they were really good things. So, they were a little envious of Hualei for giving Rong Jin, Zhenzhu and Agate extra goose down quilts.

Therefore, some of them tried to make indirect advances in front of Hua Lei, hoping to continue to get it for free, while others sent their maids and old women out to secretly inquire where it was for sale and how much it cost.

Unfortunately, even if they tried to get it for free by hinting at other things, or to find out where the goods were sold and the price, Hua Lei pretended not to understand the former, and the latter was because the goose down quilts were not yet in stock in Shangjing City.

Rong Jue's mother, Ruan, did not shy away and went straight to Hua Lei and bought more than a dozen goose down quilts. She sent some of them to Pei Jingyan who was working outside, and gave some to her sister-in-law and some good old girlfriends.

Hualei didn't care what others were thinking or doing, but went back to work on Yuanying Manor. She was going to develop a new project this year. Now the manor was raising more and more pigs. In addition to supplying the Imperial College and restaurants, they also pickled a lot of salted pork and braised pork to send to Mobei. However, there were still some extra pigs, so Hualei was going to make something new this year and start making sausages.

In my previous life, I was particularly fond of spiced, slightly spicy smoked sausages, and I often made clay pot rice with these sausages.

As early as early October, when the weather was a little cooler, Hualei started making preserved meats such as chickens, ducks and geese. Now, because she had to make sausages, Hualei watched over the farm almost every day. Because Zhao was a good cook and could learn by analogy, Hualei also asked her to help watch some of the food.

If you want to make sausages, you first need to make casings. Now, unlike in the past, you can buy casings online and stuff the meat in them. Here, you have to think of everything and do everything yourself.
