Chapter 703 Pulling Dog Hair

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Lin Yuesha started to get busy with the cooking. Most of the guests tomorrow would be young ladies, so the banquet would mainly feature elaborate and exquisite pastries, along with some nourishing side dishes.

Eating wasn't the main point; the main thing was to get people to donate. To cater to their tastes, Lin Yuesha showed off her culinary skills by making fancy and attention-grabbing dishes.

The main kitchen was occupied by the servants of the Wei family, ostensibly to serve Lin Yuesha, but in reality, their purpose was to learn her skills. When Lin Yuesha was preparing the ingredients, the cooks deliberately did not shy away from asking her questions.

Lin Yuesha didn't care. She took out a carving knife and started carving the melon rind, sitting there for almost half an hour without moving.

The cooks still had other tasks to complete, and if they didn't finish and the young lady blamed them, they couldn't bear the responsibility. Besides, Wei Lan had a bad temper and would often beat and scold the servants.

After the servants of the Wei family had finished watching the excitement and were busy with their own tasks, Lin Yuesha put down her carving knife and quickly kneaded dough with butter, baking more than a dozen kinds of pastries and cookies that very night.

"Miss, the craftsman has finished the zipper and specially came to the Prince's villa. It's getting late now, shall we still meet?"

Granny Fang came to the kitchen to report back and ask for her young mistress's opinion.

"Yes, of course I'll see you."

Lin Yuesha washed her hands with warm water, took off her blouse and said, "Several young ladies who have come from afar are staying at the villa tonight. We are afraid that a man might come in and cause trouble, so we should inform Young Master Luo first."

Anyway, Luo Wang Xu Da and Pockmarked Face were in cahoots, and she was forced to join their camp. They were all in the same boat, so Lin Yuesha had no choice but to fully support Pockmarked Face's rebellion.

As a precaution, the servants of the Prince's mansion led the craftsmen into the Prince's courtyard. Lin Yuesha was invited over and was taken aback by the large number of people in the room.

Prince Luo was there, Xu Da was there, and the pockmarked man was there. In addition, there was Madam Xu, Physician Yan, Physician Liao, people from the General of the Nation's Mansion, and Gu Yi, who were all preparing to set off together.

Most of them were familiar faces; only a few were unfamiliar.

“Niece-in-law, I was discussing the route to the Northwest with everyone when I heard that you made a zipper that makes dressing easier, so I took the liberty of inviting the craftsman over.”

The Prince of Luo changed his address and smiled with a benevolent expression, clearly revealing his scheming nature, which made Lin Yuesha shudder.

Fortunately, the Prince of Luo was self-aware and knew that he had acted on his own initiative.

However, the way they addressed each other gave everything away, indirectly telling Lin Yuesha that everyone present was in cahoots.

"I just found out too."

Yan Yan was helpless. As a female doctor, she didn't want to get involved, but somehow she ended up on the wrong side of the rebels.

"You should digest this first."

Since the Prince of Luo chose to tell the truth, indicating that he believed Doctor Yan, Lin Yuesha patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

A crowd surrounded two craftsmen, who were trying to conceal the opening and closing of a zipper.

"Uncle, are you satisfied with this?"

Lin Yuesha couldn't help but say a few sarcastic remarks to Luo Wang, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.

"Satisfied, satisfied! Zippers instead of buttons save time and effort. Nephew's wife, what's wrong with your brain?"

Most people wouldn't think of it, but although it takes a bit of time, it's actually quite convenient and saves time later on.

The zipper is made of a mixture of silver and copper, making it very sturdy and durable.

Lin Yuesha took the zipper and pulled it a few times, then gave the craftsman a thumbs up. She pointed out that her idea was pure plagiarism, but the craftsman was able to select the right materials based on her description and continuously improve the design. She dared not take credit for it.

With the addition of zippers, Lin Yuesha's backpacks became even more convenient, earning high praise from Luo Wang.

“Miss, the down jacket you ordered from the estate has been made. This old servant has sewed the zipper.”

Because the zipper was too long, it was a bit difficult to pull it halfway through.

The down jacket was so light and weightless that Granny Fang doubted its warmth.

Lin Yuesha took one of the items, which was probably Dr. Yan's size, and handed it to Yan Yan, saying, "Sister Yan, try it on."

The others watched with longing eyes. Yan Yan was a little embarrassed, but she was also curious about the warm down jacket. All she had to do was put on the sleeves. There was a zipper in the middle of the jacket. She applied wax to it and it was zipped up in no time.

Moreover, the advantage of a zipper is that its length is adjustable, making it easier to expose the neckline.

The garment had a drawstring at the hem and a hood. Yan Yan loved it so much that she simply put the hood on and started sweating in no time.

"That's really strange, how can such lightweight clothes keep you warm?"

It's not made of cotton; the inside is soft, making it comfortable to wear and easy to walk in. And, miraculously, it generates heat.

Yan Yan had never seen anything like it before and found it very novel.

"Shuangfuji makes roast duck, and a large number of ducks are slaughtered every day. The duck down is selected, the fat is removed, and the ducks are washed and dried. This duck down is the main material for making down jackets."

The inner lining is wrapped in sheepskin to prevent down from leaking out, and it can also block cold winds in winter, killing two birds with one stone.

"This is good, are there any for me too?"

Madam Xu clapped her hands, looking at it with longing and wanting to shamelessly ask for one.

"Yes, we have both."

Previously, the problem was a lack of zippers. The down jackets were already finished, with dozens of pieces made in various sizes, but the zippers were produced in too few quantities, so they could only be made for those who needed to travel quickly.

In addition, zippers are expensive and difficult to use on soldiers, but they are suitable for down jackets.

Lin Yuesha explained the details of the down jacket to everyone. It has two pockets on the side, so you can put your purse or other items directly in the pockets, which is also for the convenience of traveling.

Granny Fang stood behind Lin Yuesha, backing away repeatedly. She wanted to leave, but Lin Yuesha stopped her and asked, "Granny Fang, is your hand injured?"

Granny Fang had a handkerchief wrapped around her hand, and there were bloodstains on the handkerchief.

Lin Yuesha assumed that Granny Fang was being bullied by the Wei family's servants in the main kitchen, and hurriedly asked.

She's sharpening her knives, ready to rebel at any moment; no one can touch her!

"No one is bullying this old servant, it's this old servant..."

Granny Fang stole a glance at Prince Luo, finding it difficult to speak; she had embarrassed her master and young lady.

"How did you get injured?"

Fortunately, Yan Yan was there with a first-aid kit, so she could help Granny Fang with her bandages.

"This old servant is here to make clothes."

As she spoke, Granny Fang quickly ran out, retrieved a vest she had made, and handed it to Yan Yan, saying, "Dr. Yan, why don't you try this one..."

"So you hurt your hand while making clothes?"

Granny Fang's needlework was quite good, so she wouldn't make any basic mistakes.

Yan Yan put on the vest made by Granny Fang, but felt nothing.

What are you using here?

Lin Yuesha couldn't understand what Granny Fang was up to.

"Yes, it's dog hair."

My daughter once said that ducks are not afraid of the cold in the snow and ice, so duck down is warm. So she thought of dogs, because dogs are more resistant to the cold than ducks.

The wound on my hand was from being bitten by an angry dog ​​while I was pulling its fur.

Lin Yuesha: ...
