After finishing her meal, Qiao Xuejun walked out of the cafeteria and went straight to the tailor room.
Sister Li and the others are still working.
Since the people from the city came, the tailor studio has been very busy.
Although everyone in the city had clothes to wear, as there was no shortage of such supplies, and even clothes stripped from the dead could be worn, most of them were dressed in rags.
These all have to be made up, which is the work of the tailoring room.
"Qiao Qiao, why are you here?"
Sister Li was a little surprised to see Qiao Xuejun enter the room.
Qiao Xuejun: "I have something to discuss with you."
Sister Li was puzzled. "Isn't it time to harvest rabbit fur yet? It's still a month away?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "It's not about rabbit hair, it's about horse hair."
Sister Li suddenly realized and recalled: "Yes, those fifty horses, right? Their hair is long, and they can be made into big things, like fur coats and big blankets..."
Qiao Xuejun: "Is there a big shortage of warm clothing in the base right now?"
Sister Li thought for a moment and said, "It's big, but it's not big either."
She explained in detail: "Newcomers to the city all bring their own supplies, like clothes and blankets, the most basic things. They bring everything, and they're all suitable for this weather, thick clothes. So there's basically no shortage."
"But," she changed the subject, "most of their clothes are pretty tattered now. Maybe they're working outside, so their clothes wear out quickly. It would be best if we could give them a new batch."
After Sister Li said this, there was silence in the tailoring room.
Everyone knows that before the city dwellers arrived, there was barely enough cloth, but with so many people coming, it is no longer quite enough.
Qiao Xuejun: "Don't worry, the rabbit production has been expanded again, and there will be more rabbit hair next time."
Sister Li's eyes lit up and she nodded, "Okay, when we have new fur, we can fill this gap and give everyone new clothes."
Qiao Xuejun: "I'll go shave the horsehair for you now, Sister Li, can you handle it yourselves?"
Sister Li nodded: "Of course. I'll ask a few apprentices to go with you. Want to shave now?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Well, you can shave a little." It's already grown very long.
"Oh, right." Just as Qiao Xuejun was about to discuss the time for the delivery of the horsehair with Sister Li, Sister Li suddenly said, "You've come just in time. I have something else to give you!"
Qiao Xuejun: "What is it?"
Sister Li turned around and went to a nearby cabinet, opened a drawer, took out a box, and walked over: "Just in time for you to come. Come and try this to see if it fits."
Qiao Xuejun: "What is it..."
When she saw what was in the box, she was stunned.
Inside was a pair of gloves. No, it was a pair of incomplete, cut-up gloves.
The size is very familiar, it belongs to Zhao Xian.
On the other side of the box was a wristband.
Sister Li picked up the pair of wristbands and handed them to Qiao Xuejun: "Here, try to see if you can wear it."
Qiao Xuejun: "Is it for me?"
Sister Li: "Of course, this was given to me by our Lord and he told me to make it for our Teacher Qiao."
She pointed to the remaining incomplete glove in the box and said, "The lord brought this pair of gloves over and asked if he could cut a wristband out of them for you. He cut off the thickest part of the gloves and made a wristband out of them."
Sister Li touched the gloves and said, "I don't know what material they're made of. They feel like deerskin. They're definitely airtight, so they're definitely warm. Try them on and see if the size is right for you."
Qiao Xuejun reached out to take the wristband and put it on her hand awkwardly.
Sister Li instructed her: "Go through the tiger's mouth here. There is a button in the middle. Button it up."
Qiao Xuejun put on the wristband.
The leather itself is not thick, so it does not make you look bulky when you wear it, but it is convenient for you to move around in. However, it is not thin or loose, and it wraps around your thumb, making it very stable.
Sister Li asked, "How is it?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Thank you, Sister Li, this fits very well."
Sister Li also turned her hand around and looked at it. "That's good. The size of your wrist was given by the Lord. It's half a centimeter larger than usual. I was worried if it was right."
Qiao Xuejun: "That's right."
After all, she was a person who did manual labor, and her wrists were not slender and graceful, so adding half a centimeter would make it fit just right.
Sister Li immediately praised: "As expected of a lord, you are really accurate."
Sister Li asked again: "How do you feel? Are you warm?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded.
Sister Li: "I knew it. These gloves look incredibly high quality, and you can tell just by touching them. They must be very expensive! I felt it would be a shame if they were cut badly. I tried to persuade the lord not to do it, saying it wasn't worth it. But he said it was a gift for me, so it was worth it, and asked me to make it well."
The tips of Qiao Xuejun's ears turned red.
This person says this kind of thing everywhere.
Qiao Xuejun asked, "When did he bring it here?"
Sister Li thought for a moment and said, "About 10 days ago. It was late at night."
Ten days ago, it was the day she was discovered to have a problem with her wrist. Did Zhao Xian bring the gloves that night?
So when Zhao Xian was touching her wrist that day, was he estimating the size?
That's pretty accurate.
Sister Li added, "There's still a pair of half-broken gloves left. I don't know whether to return them to the lord or what. Otherwise, Qiao Qiao, you can take them."
Qiao Xuejun accepted them all.

Qiao Xuejun took several female tailors from the tailoring room to the horse farm. They all brought scissors from the tailoring room and brought bags to hold the horse hair.
But it's not something you can just do casually now.
Qiao Xuejun demonstrated it to them, but most of them were a little afraid of being kicked by the horse, so they were a little scared and stayed away.
Qiao Xuejun had no choice but to continue demonstrating to them and control the horses.
After feeding the horses water these days, she and the horses have become familiar with each other and can successfully interact with each other without the need for bells, and the horses are not afraid of her.
Today she brought someone with her, and she held a bell so that if the horse had any stress reaction, it could be controlled immediately.
After a long time, several tailors gradually accepted it and began to follow Qiao Xuejun's example and shave the hair of the horses next to them.
Qiao Xuejun instructed: "Don't shave too shallow. Leave some hair for the horse to use during the winter. See? It's as long as the hair I shaved off here."
The ice-footed horse's hair is very long, almost 20 centimeters.
After reading it, several people nodded: "Okay, I understand."
