Inheriting a Legacy and Traveling to Ancient Times

In her previous life, Zhao Qingyan grew up in an orphanage. She unexpectedly activated a pocket dimension and began hoarding supplies. After spending all her savings, an accident transported her to...

Chapter 221 Should We Talk About Buying and Selling?

"And this skirt and these pants are a set."

We are farmers, and we are always on the go. Wearing a long skirt every day is actually very inconvenient. The top is long enough to reach the upper thigh, and the pants underneath are loose.

From a distance, it looks exactly like a skirt, but it's much more convenient to walk in.

And this one and this one…”

Liu Xiaohua may not be very eloquent in other areas, but she is very knowledgeable when it comes to making clothes.

She was naturally talented; at home, she made clothes for the whole family, but when she moved to her husband's family home, she only needed to make clothes for her own little family.

Especially after the Zhao family's conditions improved, they had more fabric and received guidance from Zhao Qingyan.

It can be said that Liu Xiaohua's needlework skills have become increasingly exquisite.

Even more so in terms of creativity.

If the Zhao family hadn't been in the food business, but instead had Liu Xiaohua open a clothing store, the income might have been quite good.

Madam Qiu and Madam Wang looked at the well-matched and well-tailored clothes and both wanted to try them on.

However, the environment didn't allow it, and besides, Zhao Qingyan's clothes were not the size they could fit into.

Both of them were skilled in needlework, and after listening to Liu Xiaohua's explanation, they quickly grasped the secret.

"This is really ingenious. It's so convenient to wear this way, especially these lantern pants, which make me feel even more at ease."

"Just one thing, wouldn't wearing one pair of pants on the outside and another pair underneath look a bit bulky?"

Seeing that Madam Qiu seemed hesitant to ask, Madam Wang understood.

This is a question too embarrassing to ask; perhaps it's best for the scholar's wife to ask herself.

Liu Xiaohua blushed slightly, took a step closer, lowered her head, and said in a low voice,

"The trousers inside have also been modified so that they can be made very short and close-fitting. I will draw a picture for you two ladies to see later."

The two ladies were overjoyed. They gestured to Liu Xiaohua to hurry up and draw.

Liu Xiaohua slowly picked up a chopstick, turned it around, dipped it in the water in her cup, and then began to draw a sketch on the dining table.

They then explained in detail which size would be more suitable.

The two ladies were so excited listening to this.

The problem that had troubled them for so long was finally solved.

With these improved little pants, I no longer need to wear those long, lined pants, which are also open-crotch. Compared to these little pants, I feel ashamed no matter how I think about it.

These little pants are especially nice because they use less fabric, which is really great.

Of course, for Mrs. Qiu, who came from a wealthy family, there was plenty of fabric at home, but she also knew whether it was good or bad to be in hot or cold weather.

Do they know what shame is? Why do women wear long skirts? If they show their feet, they are considered unchaste?

It's because she was wearing open-crotch pants underneath.

The two ladies felt they had made the right choice coming today; otherwise, where would they have learned such ingenious ideas?

If someone has a good method, they shouldn't keep it to themselves.

It seems like the Zhao family doesn't take anything seriously.

Madam Wang, preoccupied with her own little world, naturally didn't think too much, while Madam Qiu was much more far-sighted.

Judging from today's situation, the Zhao family has a promising future.

Not just any family can get along with the prefect and the heir.

Judging from the way the heir apparent treated the Zhao family, it can be inferred that he did not actually come with the prefect, as he claimed.

They must know each other, and not only know each other, but have a very close relationship. They only came together under the name of Lord Duan to avoid suspicion.

Then, turning her attention to her own children, and recalling the image of Zhao Qingyi comforting the two little girls, Madam Qiu had the idea of ​​arranging a marriage between them.

However, such important matters still need to be discussed with the husband, and one must not make the wrong decision.

So he gave up his plan to inquire further.

Little Qingbei is having a great time playing with her friends over there.

Who would have thought that a shackle called marriage had just been placed over their heads?

At the men's table, Zhao Xuri picked up a porcelain cup filled with fruit wine and examined it carefully.

After taking a small sip, I knew that this was a fruit wine made in the same batch as the previous wine.

I remember buying a set of glass tea and wine sets from the Zhao family before, but they were ridiculously expensive.

The Zhao family really has a lot of good stuff. Look at this wine cup used to entertain guests. Although it is not as precious as glass, the fine porcelain and the feel of it are comparable to those used by the imperial court.

As for why Prefect Duan and Magistrate Qiu didn't discover the intricacies involved, it was because their ranks weren't high enough to have ever attended an imperial banquet.

His vision is evident; as the heir of the Duke of Huguo, it's different. He attends the imperial banquet at the New Year almost every year.

That's good, though. The more good stuff the Zhao family has, the better it is for me. Buying some back as gifts would be a great idea.

After the wine was drunk and the food eaten, Lord Duan, being the second highest-ranking person after the heir of the Duke of Huguo, naturally had to liven up the atmosphere.

He praised every dish he ate, after all, he had been craving the Zhao family's food for quite some time.

When he ate the dry-fried potato slices and candied sweet potatoes, he didn't know what they were.

When he learned that it was the legendary sweet potato, Prefect Duan's reaction was exactly the same as Magistrate Qiu's.

That was truly heartbreaking.

"I'm telling you, your family is really wasting money. You can even cook and eat such precious grains."

Is this a banquet with people coming together for a feast?

I decided to remove this dish immediately and use the remaining seeds for propagation.

Zhao Qianci smiled faintly.

"Lord Duan, please don't worry. Lord Duan just expressed the same opinion as you. We have a good stock of potatoes and sweet potatoes at home, enough to plant on thousands of acres of land."

Not to mention anything far away, it's enough for our Zhao Family Village to grow."

Lord Duan slapped his thigh,

"Old Master Zhao, have you forgotten that you promised me that you would leave everything else to me, except for the farming in Zhao Family Village?"

I'm also thinking of setting up a new variety plantation. That would be even more helpful for the breeding of these two excellent varieties.

Han Xuri, who was watching the commotion, was a little confused.

"Is there anything special about the potatoes and sweet potatoes you two are talking about?"

Lord Duan slapped his thigh again, the sound so loud that everyone at the table felt the pain.

"Oh dear, Your Highness, you don't know, these are two new varieties, each yielding several thousand catties per mu."

It is several times, or even more than ten times, that of ordinary grain.

If our Divine Dragon Kingdom cultivated crops throughout the north and south, wouldn't all the people be able to have enough to eat?

Han Xuri's eyes narrowed slightly. Grain is the foundation of a nation, and high-yield grain varieties are even more rare and hard to come by.

He looked at the Zhao family men with a half-smile, his gaze finally settling on Zhao Qianci's face.

"Old Master Zhao, shall we discuss a business deal?"
