Chapter 130 Silk Quilt
Having said that, what else could the villagers watching the excitement around them not understand? Li Qionghua clearly wanted to steal Lin Xi's skills, otherwise how could Goudan suddenly run there in such a remote place with no children around?
Li Qionghua was so choked that she couldn't utter a word.
At this time, it was Old Lady Zhao who stood up and said, "Goudan, you did something wrong, so you should apologize to them."
When Goudan saw his grandmother, he immediately forgot everything his mother had told him to do. "Grandma, it was my mother who asked me to go. I did nothing wrong!"
Old Mrs. Zhao became serious, even looking a little fierce, "What did your mother ask you to do? Don't you think about why? Apologize to her quickly, or don't come back tonight."
Goudan didn't understand much, but he could clearly see the attitude of his family. If he didn't apologize today, grandma would definitely be angry, and he would have no food to eat.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Goudan lowered his head.
Lin Xi didn't care and asked the big man to let the man go. Then he turned around and left in a carefree manner.
There were a lot of things going on in the silkworm house, and she didn't have time to continue to worry about it.
Goudan looked like an eggplant hit by frost, without a trace of life in his body.
"Look what you have done!" Behind closed doors, Old Mrs. Zhao started getting angry at Li Qionghua.
Li Qionghua didn't dare to talk back this time. The matter almost reached the county government office. She was really scared.
"Look, Linxi is raising silkworms, and he knows how to raise them and sell them. What do you know? You just follow him and spend a tael of silver to build a silkworm house. Why did my family marry a brainless daughter-in-law like you?" Old Mrs. Zhao became more and more unhappy as she spoke.
"Look at Xue Lili and Cui Hongyue, two widows, who have a hard life with their children. Now they are following Lin Xi and have everything they want."
"You also know that Lin Xi is powerful. He makes money by doing business, but you insist on going against him, you idiot! It's not enough to harm yourself, now you want to put your son in it! If I find out that you are doing these things again in the future, I will kick you out."
The so-called kicking out of the house is probably the same as divorcing one's wife.
Li Qionghua had never heard such serious words from her mother-in-law, and fear surged in her heart.
"Oh, right," Mrs. Zhao glanced around, "Hurry up and clean up these silk cocoons at home!"
Li Qionghua was trembling with fear and quickly cleaned up the house.
…
Lin Xi has been so busy these days that he doesn't even have time to drink a sip of water.
It was her first time and she had no experience, so she had to learn everything slowly. After finally making the first silk quilt, Lin Xi quickly gave it to Xiao Yongyan to show off.
What she said before was not made up, it was the reality.
Xiao Yongyan was extremely shocked when he looked at the white quilt in front of him. Who would have thought that silk cocoons could be turned into such a quilt after processing? It was simply incredible.
It felt smoother than ever before when he touched it. It turned out that everything that Lin Xi asked him to describe in the article was true.
"Tell me, if this quilt is sold for five hundred taels a piece, will anyone buy it?" Lin Xi asked curiously.
"Yes." Xiao Yongyan said confidently, "Maybe five hundred taels is not a small amount for ordinary people, but for those people in Beijing, many families would pay this price for a mirror or a hairpin. If your silk quilt can be sold at this price, it is completely acceptable."
With Xiao Yongyan's approval, Lin Xi felt that this business had a better chance of making a lot of money.
Just as Xiao Yongyan said, Linxi's silk quilts have become the hottest new thing in Beijing.
If a lady doesn't know about silk quilts, she will be laughed at by others and be said to be out of touch with the times.
County government office, study.
"Sir, a secret report has arrived." The lawyer came in hurriedly from outside.
When Hang Qi heard this, he knew it was news from the capital. Thinking there was some new knowledge, Hang Qi quickly got up and opened the so-called secret report.
There was only one line of words written inside:
Purchased two Lianggu County silk quilts.
Hang Qi was speechless for a long while. The capital city was willing to use secret reports just to buy two quilts?
For a moment, Hang Qi didn't know what to say.
"Master, is there anyone selling silk quilts in Lianggu County?" Hang Qi asked.
Upon hearing this, the master was overwhelmed and his face wrinkled like a bitter gourd. "Sir, I have been in Lianggu County for so many years and have never heard of a silk quilt."
Hang Qi was also annoyed. After hearing his master say he didn't know, he felt even more annoyed when he saw him. "Why are you standing there like an idiot? If you don't know, why don't you go and ask? Do you need me to teach you this?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go and find out right away." The lawyer said hurriedly.
At the same time, Lin Xi was enjoying raising silkworms at home.
Now Cai Hu and Cai Xiaomei are fully capable of supporting Lin Ji. It doesn’t make much difference whether she, as the boss, goes there or not. She has more time to focus on her own business.
In the silkworm room, the second silk quilt has come out. Compared with the first half-tested product, the second one looks much better.
Lin Xi decided to keep them and sell them.
As for Xiao Yongyan, he has been going out early and coming back late every day these days. It seems that he is helping Lin Ji, but in fact he is still continuing to be his teacher.
On this day, the supervisor of the Linxi silkworm house suddenly heard a noise coming from afar. He pushed the door open and saw two officials walking towards him.
Cui Hongyue and Xue Lili were shocked. "What's going on? Should we call the head of the village?"
Lin Xi waved her hand, "I'm upright and I'm not a big deal. You guys continue to be busy and don't worry about it."
The official had come several times and was already very familiar with Lin Xi. He said politely, "Hello, Madam Xiao. My master has something to ask you to come over."
Lin Xi calmly gave a few instructions and followed the officer.
In the past, the police came here with arrogance, but this time they spoke in a rare calm manner. It was obvious that they were not here to cause trouble.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they saw that just as Lin Xi had expected, the official had actually prepared a horse specifically for Lin Xi this time, which was simply jaw-dropping.
At first, the villagers thought that the police were here to arrest people, but when they saw how Lin Xi was treated, they became confused.
It was completely dark when Lin Xi and his party arrived at the county government office. The lawyer arranged a special room for Lin Xi to rest.
Lin Xi couldn't help but be amazed. This time the treatment was a bit too good. What on earth did Hang Qi want to talk to her about?
In a strange place, Lin Xi slept lightly. She woke up when she heard a slight noise outside the window.
There was a dark shadow in front of her, who looked like a woman.
"Feng Miao?" Lin Xi was shocked. Shouldn't she be in Xucheng now? How come she suddenly appeared here?
"Young Madam, are you okay?" Feng Miao asked in a low voice.
"I'm fine, why are you here?" Lin Xi was really surprised.
"The young master asked me to come here. He is worried that Hang Qi will harm you." Feng Miao said, "The young master will come here early tomorrow morning."
