Budget-minded businessmen know to process cashmere in places where labor is cheap.

The purchased cashmeres must be sorted first, then cleaned the spinning thread, dyed it, and finally transported the processed cashmere stitch to Xipo Village, Lishi County, and spent money to ask the young ladies in the village to weave them into cashmere sweaters.

I heard that in that village, not only the young ladies can knit sweaters, but also the wives can. There are even many married daughters who come back to work in their parents' homes. With more people knitting sweaters, the shipment will naturally be faster. They usually don't need to wait too long for merchants to go there.

In fact, it’s okay to wait for one or two more days. The Xu family house has good food and accommodation conditions, and the price is appropriate. Recently, Luo Sanlang has taught people arithmetic. Arithmetic may not be a big deal for others, but for merchants like them, that’s really important.

In Lishi County, there are many people who help people process cashmere. Some people from other places are convenient for things or are not short of money. Some people collect the cashmere and transport it directly to the place for processing. Some people even use ox carts to pull some unsorted winter wool and come over.

The processing market in Lishi County is more mature than in other places. Usually, people come to find a reputable guesthouse in the city and pay a little introduction fee. The store will arrange it well for them. They can find a reliable intermediary to contract the goods and take the goods away for processing, or find a scattered person to work. The owner of the goods can watch from the side, but this will cost a little more. After all, so many people work together, they always have to provide them with a place of labor.

If you can come to Lishi County to find processing, it is mostly not bad. After all, although the local wages in Lishi County are not very high, it is inevitable to pay some copper coins. Most local people recognize copper coins, and silk and cloth are not very easy to use.

If they change to other places, the poor in the city generally have no economic income and no farmland to support them in farming, and they need food and cloth, so ordinary merchants only need to pay a little grain or some cloth to attract a large amount of cheap labor.

"Amn, you and Ah Mei live in this house." In the Yao family yard in Xipo Village, Yao Dalang's new wife, Aunt Liu, was leading her mother into a room at this time.

"This house is so tidy. Look at the big windows, our main hall is not as good as this one." When she entered the house, she closed the door again. When the mother pulled her daughter down to speak, she didn't speak much when she was outside just now. Her daughter's new wife came in for less than half a year. She must be polite to come here, so as not to make people feel displeased when they see it.

"It was originally a guest room, but it was winter, and no one lived there anymore. This time, you come here, Dalang said that you two would live in this house, this house is the best." Aunt Liu sat on the kang and talked to her mother. The kang was burned early in the morning. Now the house was warm, which made her face look a bit red.

"How can Dalang treat you well?" Liu's mother was also happy when she saw her daughter's complexion.

"It's OK." Aunt Liu's face turned redder.

"I'll let us come here this time, but what did you say?" Liu's mother asked again.

"I just thought about it in my mind. After all, this matter is not something that can be calculated by households. There are so many people in the village. A few days ago, the villagers gathered in one place and said that there are too many tasks for knitting sweaters, and these people in the village can't do it. It's better to ask some relatives to come and help. It's hard to ask these endless tasks to be placed there. There are people in the family of their relatives, but there is no place to make money..."

Aunt Liu told the whole story. This time, her mother brought her sister with her to learn the skills of knitting sweaters. If she learns it, she can make some money if she does a job for three or two months here.

"Then you told them?" Liu's mother held the hand of her daughter, with joy in her eyes. She was already very happy that the eldest daughter could have a good home. She never thought that she could bring her sister out. As long as she learned the skills of knitting sweaters, she would still be worried about marrying in the future.

"Before I spoke, Dalang mentioned it for me." Aunt Liu said with a smile.

"This son-in-law Yao is really a good person." Liu's mother sighed, and then told her daughter: "You should cherish such a good marriage. If you have a bump in your life, don't be too stubborn. You can't compare it with the young ladies in this village. You should always think about the hard days we have in the past."

"I can't afford it." Aunt Liu nodded.

She also heard that the young ladies in Xipo Village have lived a better life in the past two years. They used to be very hard. The village is not big and the location is not good. There are not many good land in and outside the village. In the past, the young ladies in the village were also worried about marrying. Many people have been going to the fields with their families since childhood, doing laundry, cooking, sheep, and rubbing twine. They have to do everything.

Life is getting better now and money is easy to make. The young ladies in the village cherish it very much. Many people are saving dowry for themselves. Adults say that if the dowry can be richer, they will live a better life if they get married and go to their husband's house in the future.

"The young ladies in Xipo Village are mostly looking for those who are of equal accessibility." Aunt Liu thought for a while, and then said to her mother.

"But what do you mean?" Liu's mother naturally knew that the marriage between children was to find a similar one. However, she didn't expect that her daughter was young and knew that she would say such things.

"A young lady in the village asked someone to cheat her before, and everyone was scared. She would definitely not dare to go if she was too far away. She was too high and she was afraid that she would not be able to do anything after she got married. If something happened, her parents would not be able to protect her." The aunt was also worried that her family would be deceived in the future, and she was afraid that they would have too high vision.

"Oh, I have heard from someone that Aunt Yin's affairs. Please rest assured. There is that thing in front of you. How can I be so confused with you, Aye." When Aunt Yin was kidnapped by the evil man, the people in Xipo Village made such a big noise in order to find her. Now who else in the village knows about this matter? It is just that it is a treacherous man and a treacherous daughter in the family. I can't help but be more careful than before. Even if I don't have the ability to find a good future for them, I can't let them fall into the hands of the evil man.

"You and Sanniang will concentrate on knitting sweaters in the future. I will help you if I have time." Liu's mother said.

There is no girl in the Yao family. Recently, Yao's mother and mother have also learned to knit sweaters, but they are slow to knit. This time, the mother and daughter of the Liu family came here. Although they asked them to learn to knit sweaters together to make some money, there were still two or three months before the beginning of spring. The mother and daughter lived here in the past two or three months, so it was hard to have a free meal at the Yao family.

Liu's mother thought that she would take on more work in and out of the courtyard, which would make her mother-in-law relieved. In such a large courtyard, there were a lot of work all day long.

My daughter is a sensible person. The Yao family treats her well and is willing to pull her family out. As a mother, she will not be able to hold back any longer.

The mother and daughter were talking, but it didn't take too long. Soon, Aunt Liu took her sister into her house and gave her two sweater needles and a piece of thread, so that she could learn it bit by bit.

Aunt Liu is eighteen years old this year, and she has a seventeen-year-old younger brother under her. Now she is an important labor force in the family. Next is Liu Sanniang, who has two younger brothers under her.

Liu Sanniang is only thirteen years old this year and is still an inexplicable little girl. In the past, when Aunt Liu was not out, she was holding on to her. When she got married, many things fell on Liu Sanniang. It was only half a year before, and people looked much more calm.

Liu Sanniang envied her elder sister for her good marriage, and hoped that she could find a good family to live a good life like her elder sister. This time, Aunt Liu asked someone to bring a message to Shizigou, saying that she wanted the mother and daughter to come over to learn how to knit sweaters, but the little ladies and daughters in the village were envious.

She was very excited, but in the past two days, her mother kept muttering in her ears every day, saying that she would do what she would do after she arrived at the Yao family. She became a little nervous, afraid that she would make mistakes, so her sister's in-laws didn't like it. Now she sat on the same kang with her sister in a green dress, and she seemed a little restrained.

"Let me see what you knitted." Aunt Liu buried her head in knitting a piece of sweater, stopped her work, came to her sister to take a look.

"But the wrong weaving?" Liu Sanniang said nervously. Why did she look at the things she woven? It was completely different from what her sister woven.

"It's not a mistake to weave it, it's just a hand-made one. At the beginning, it's like this. If you weave it for another time, you'll get started in two or three days." Aunt Liu smiled.

"Sister, how long have you been studying?" Liu Sanniang felt much more at ease when she saw that her sister was still the kind-hearted sister who was so kind to talk to her.

"After learning for two or three days, I started knitting a pair of wool pants. However, I have to learn the following of adding and reducing needles. At the beginning, I did it according to the size of knitted by others. After I got too much, I naturally knew how to knit the clothes and trousers that were taller and fatter to wear. " Aunt Liu explained.

"Who did my sister learn from before? But Luo Erniang?" The little girl also heard that the method of knitting sweaters was designed by Luo Erniang.

"Not." Aunt Liu said with a smile.

"Who did you learn that?" the little girl was even more curious.

"It's learned from your brother-in-law." Aunt Liu sat upright and buried her head in knitting the sweater in her hand.

"Brother-in-law actually has this?" Liu Sanniang said strangely.

"What's the point? Many young men in the village can do it." But it seems that they are not as good as Yao Dalang's weaving. After thinking about it, Aunt Liu added another sentence: "Making this is more money than making tofu."

Aunt Liu didn't know that his husband Yao Dalang was not the fastest and best sweater knitting in this village.

There are indeed many people who can wear sweaters in Xipo Village now. Some people don’t think there is anything wrong with this, so they don’t cover it up. Some of them have thin skin, so they just knit them secretly at home, and their families are not allowed to talk about it.

"I have melted a few pears, do you eat them?" At Masato Tamura's house, Masato's wife at this time brought a few pears that were frozen black into the main hall.

"Leave one for me." On the kang of the main hall, Tamura was sitting there knitting a sweater.

"This pear is so delicious. I would have bought more if I had known it." Muramama's wife put a frozen pear in a pottery bowl and placed it on the kang table.

When the pears came down this autumn, Wang Dang's group got a lot of pears to sell to their Xipo Village. They were the most common thick-skinned pears. They were not big and looked average. They could buy three for a penny, and the villagers bought some of them.

As for the Luo family, they planted pear trees on the mountain this year, and a lot of fruits were born in autumn. The pears were much larger than the ones they brought to me, and they had enough moisture and tasted better. Unfortunately, their family didn't sell them, so they kept them for themselves.

The wife of Munmasa left a frozen pear in the house here, and moved the rest to the house next door. Her two daughters-in-law and young daughter were knitting sweaters there at this time.
