Chapter 163 Never make a promise you can't keep



With someone like Zhao Juanzi accompanying him, he can feel more at ease when going out on missions.

Zhao Juanzi is so nice, so she must stay at home for a while longer and her treatment cannot be neglected.

Once the mushroom business is on track, Zhao Juanzi's family must be the first to grow mushrooms.

Fu Wenjing's face did not show anything about what he was thinking, so Zhao Juanzi certainly had no way of knowing.

At this moment, Zhao Juanzi was talking to Su Ruanruan about the quadruplets' clothes.

The quadruplets were born in the coldest time of the year, so the clothes and quilts made at that time were filled with a lot of cotton.

The quadruplets have grown quite a bit now and gained a lot of weight. The clothes and quilts they wore back then are no longer usable.

The materials and cotton used to make these small clothes and quilts are all good and should not be wasted. So the two of them discussed and took apart all the clothes and quilts, washing those that needed to be washed and drying those that needed to be dried.

After the fabrics are dried, I cut and piece them together again to make winter cotton-padded clothes for the little ones.

It is April now, and the quadruplets are three or four months old. By October, when winter comes and they need to wear cotton clothes, they will be ten months old.

Zhao Juanzi gestured with her hands on the quadruplets and said to Su Ruanruan, "Make the clothes as big as possible. After all, the winter here is cold and long. We have to wear them from October to February of the following year. Make them bigger so that we don't have to wear them later. If they are bigger, you can add clothes inside. It's always better than making them smaller."

If it were Su Ruanruan's world before March, if clothes were too small, she would just buy new ones and would not think so much about it.

But living conditions are difficult nowadays and most people are thrifty. Not only do clothes become smaller, even if they are torn, they can still be worn by mending them with a piece of cloth.

Even though Su Ruanruan had never experienced this era before, she had heard a very classic saying - three years new, three years old, and another three years of mending.

Wearing old clothes is the norm, and wearing new clothes every day would be weird.

While the two were discussing, Fu Wenjing had already packed up his dishes and went to the army.

Su Ruanruan found the quadruplets' cotton-padded clothes and quilts from the cupboard and started to unpack them together with Zhao Juanzi.

In other words, the quadruplets can’t crawl now, otherwise I really wouldn’t dare to use scissors on the kang.

These clothes were all made by Su Ruanruan stitch by stitch. Each one took a lot of effort and the stitches were meticulous.

It is durable when you wear it, but not so easy to take off when you take it off.

Because they were afraid of accidentally tearing the fabric, both of them moved very gently, and their speed naturally slowed down.

But fortunately, they had plenty of time, and at the end of the day, they washed and dried everything.

The weather has been very good recently, and all the fabrics were dried in just one morning the next day.

Zhao Juanzi has been doing needlework for many years and is very good at it. In addition, she has taken care of children before, so she knows what kind of clothes are most comfortable for children to wear. With her help in consultation and work, all eight sets of cotton-padded clothes were made in about a week.

Two sets per person, so if they get accidentally dirty, you can change into another one.

In this era, having two sets of new and warm cotton clothes to change into is a very rare thing.

If you tell others about it, it will definitely arouse the envy of many people.

There are many people who only have one set of cotton clothes for the entire winter.

If the cotton coat is new, it will be quite warm.

But some people's cotton-padded clothes are old, and the cotton is stiff and can't even provide much warmth.

After all, it's all because of poverty.

During this week, Su Ruanruan had to take care of the children and make cotton-padded clothes. At night, she also had to contact the merchants in the gold rush, urging them to quickly copy down the mushroom cultivation methods, precautions, etc.

There are also some common problems when growing mushrooms, what diseases and pests may occur and how to solve them, all of which need to be copied down word for word.

Most of the teaching materials sent by merchants are videos, and the contents of these videos have to be summarized into text. When all is added up, there is a lot to do and it is really troublesome.

Su Ruanruan raised the original price several times, and the merchant reluctantly agreed to do this business.

Although he agreed, he was somewhat passive and lazy. Su Ruanruan would urge him every night and have an extreme fight.

Every time after discussing things with the merchants, Su Runrun was so sleepy that she couldn’t open her eyes and fell asleep immediately.

In such a busy situation, Su Ruanruan forgot all about separation and sadness.

It was not until half a month later that the merchant finally copied the notes, packaged the spores according to Su Ruanruan's requirements, and sent the goods to Su Ruanruan.

After seeing the things, Su Runrun checked them carefully to make sure there was nothing special inside that shouldn't be there, and then she handed the things to Fu Wenjing with confidence.

Fu Wenjing also read it carefully, especially the notes, which he read over and over again many times.

I can't say I can memorize it word for word, but at least I have remembered the content.

Su Ruanruan was shocked to see Fu Wenjing write down all of this.

But after the shock, there was more surprise.

"Husband, why do you have to write down all this?"

Fu Wenjing explained with a smile, "Because I plan to give it a try as described above when I go on a mission. If it succeeds, things will go more smoothly when I come back."

Su Ruanruan, "???!!!"

Growing mushrooms is not as simple as growing a handful of green vegetables. Fu Wenjing actually said he wanted to give it a try?

But when she thought about Fu Wenjing's drive, Su Runrun felt relieved again.

Su Runrun didn't know whether others could do it, but if it was Fu Wenjing, as long as he wanted to and was given some time, he would definitely be able to do it.

After figuring it out, Su Ruanruan also laughed, "Then I'll wait."

"Waiting for what?"

"Waiting for you to come back with mushrooms!"

This thick notebook contains several methods of growing mushrooms.

The most common ones are oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, as well as enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, white jade mushrooms, and abalone mushrooms.

These are relatively easy to grow and have a relatively large harvest.

Even in the era before Su Ruanruan traveled through time, these types of mushrooms were commonly eaten by everyone.

Of course, there are some rare mushroom varieties, but those have higher requirements for the environment and temperature, are not high-yielding, and do not meet their current needs. There is no need to do such a thankless task.

Being able to grow all of these is already a great success.

Fu Wenjing looked more serious than before, "I will try my best!"

Fu Wenjing only said that he would try his best, but did not make any guarantees, because he would never make a promise he couldn't keep.
