"Mom, I've taken all the meat off the bone. You can just chop it up a bit and stir-fry it with chili peppers later."

After finishing his work, Sheng Xiping went inside and told Zhang Shuzhen.

"It's getting dark. Just leave the cotton-padded trousers there for now. You're getting on in years, and your eyesight isn't what it used to be. You can make them later when you have time."

After the autumnal equinox, the days gradually shorten, and it seems that it gets dark earlier in the forest area.

It's only five o'clock, and it's already getting dark outside. The light is fine for doing other things, but it's not good for needlework.

Zhang Shuzhen placed the last cotton wadding on the cotton, touched it with her hand, and felt that the thickness was fairly even before nodding.

"Boss, give me those newspapers. I'll turn the cotton trousers inside out, put them on the board overnight, and then quilt them up tomorrow."

The waistband and legs of the cotton-padded trousers are sewn together with the lining and the outer fabric.

Before stuffing the cotton, turn the inside out and the outside in, and stuff the cotton into the inside of the cotton pants.

Once the cotton wool is ready, it needs to be turned over again.

Normally, when turning over cotton-padded trousers, you have to cover the cotton with something to prevent the cotton that you've worked so hard to fluff up from puffing up again, or from sticking everywhere.

Zhang Shuzhen used several appropriately sized newspapers, altered them onto the cotton trousers, and then rolled them up from the trouser legs to the crotch.

Both cotton trouser legs were rolled up, pulled out from the crotch, flattened, and then the newspaper was pulled out.

Following Zhang Shuzhen's instructions, Sheng Xiping cleaned up the work surface and placed it on top of his cotton trousers.

If you press it down overnight, the cotton will be firm by tomorrow, and when you spin it, you won't keep pulling cotton out.
