Chapter 413: See old in three months?
It snowed heavily for several days and the weather was too cold, which made Gao Mingcheng quite worried about Xiao Xuxu's health and afraid that he would catch a cold.
Nowadays, there are too few heating devices and you can’t buy good ones even if you have money, so you still have to rely on the old method of heating - a fire basket.
There are two types of fire baskets. One is small and can be held in the hand. It is mainly used to warm the hands. Because the hands are left outside all year round, they are easily cold in winter. Once the hands are no longer cold, the whole body will feel warm.
There is also a kind of fire basket which is large and looks like a semicircular cover. It is placed over the brazier and then clothes are covered on the cover to dry wet clothes.
Both types of fire baskets are woven with bamboo strips.
The small fire basket is like a miniature cylindrical flower basket, with a body woven from smooth bamboo strips and a large bowl made of clay or iron sheets inside to hold charcoal.
On the top, there is a curved arch-shaped handle and a lid woven with round iron wire. When there is a fire burning inside, you can put your hand on the lid and feel the warmth from the burning charcoal without burning your hand.
It is much easier to weave a large fire cage. All you have to do is use bamboo strips to weave a hollow pattern.
As for the latter, Gao Mingcheng can weave it himself, but as for the former, the workmanship is much more delicate. He does not have the skill, mainly because he is impatient.
But money is a good thing. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy either a big fire basket or a small fire basket.
Gao Mingcheng bought several of them.
Although Xiao Xuxu has finished the confinement period, he is still very young and needs to have many diaper changes a day. If he is unlucky, he will get his clothes dirty and need to be changed again.
In this kind of weather, it is unrealistic to expect it to dry naturally, so it needs to be placed on a fire basket to dry.
There are two large fire baskets placed directly in Gao Mingcheng's room, which can not only dry clothes but also raise the indoor temperature. However, in this way, some windows must be opened to maintain ventilation.
It is inconvenient to go out on a snowy day, but Gao Mingcheng's family's business is very good.
When the weather is cold, cotton clothes naturally sell well.
Many of Midea's regular customers, such as Zhang Xiuxiu, came again and bought a lot of clothes, including thick cotton-padded coats and thick pants.
In addition to women's clothing, she also bought a lot of men's clothing, from inner to outer, which were obviously bought for her boyfriend in Taiwan.
Zhang Xiuxiu said to Xuanyuemei: "Chengyou is almost frozen to death. He said he has never been so cold in his life, haha!"
Her boyfriend's name is Wu Chengyou.
The temperature in Taiwan is indeed much higher than here, and this year is much colder than last year, so Wu Chengyou is too cold to go out. Even to buy clothes, he has to rely on Zhang Xiuxiu to go out and buy them for him.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiuxiu is a local and has been very hardworking, so she rode her bicycle to the county in the wind and snow to buy clothes for her boyfriend.
In addition to buying it for her boyfriend, she naturally bought some for herself. The turnover from this business alone was more than 800 yuan.
While chatting with Xuanyue, she saw Xuanyue had a hand muff made of fur, so she asked if it was useful.
So she tried it.
This hand pocket was made by Gao Shufang according to Gao Mingcheng's instructions. The method is quite simple. It is made by cutting and sewing rabbit skin that has been nitrated.
In appearance, it looks like a loose long sleeve that can accommodate both hands to keep warm.
This type of fur usually faces inward. If there is a lot of fur, another layer will be used facing outward. If there is less fur, it will be wrapped with printed cloth, which can also serve as a decorative effect.
This one from Manyumei is made of rabbit fur inside and out, and feels very beautiful and comfortable.
These rabbit skins were all saved by Gao Mingcheng. He took the ones with good fur to the workshop and asked the master to nitrate them.
After being nitrated, rabbit skin will become white, soft, beautiful and elastic. It has good heat preservation and can be stored for a long time. It is a good leather material that is often used in winter.
This kind of handbag is not only owned by Mei Hao, but also by Gao Shufang and Luo Li.
When there are no guests, you can put your hands in to keep warm. This kind of hand pockets is warmer than gloves. However, people can work with gloves, but cannot do any work with their hands in the hand pockets.
Zhang Xiuxiu no longer wants to work, so she asked Xuanyuemei how much the handbag cost because she wanted to buy it.
This thing is for personal use and has never been sold, so many bees looked at Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng calculated the cost of materials and labor and gave a price.
As a result, Zhang Xiuxiu generously expressed her willingness to buy it.
After buying the clothes, Zhang Xiuxiu prepared to go back home carrying her bags.
But there were too many things and it was difficult to put them all on the bicycle, so Gao Mingcheng finally took a rope and tied all the cotton-padded clothes and pants to the back seat. This way, they were convenient to carry.
As for the iron frame in front, it is not empty either, it is filled with various snacks and fruits.
"Xiu Xiu, be careful on the road." For big customers, many beautiful people will personally send them to the door.
Zhang Xiuxiu waved at her and rode away on her bicycle, the wheels of her bicycle leaving a trail of dirt on the thin snow.
Zhang Xiuxiu is not the only generous customer in the clothing store. There are also many wealthy people who come to the store to buy the latest cotton-padded clothes.
Ever since Gao Mingcheng introduced the membership points system, the customer repurchase rate has increased, and when they need clothes, their first choice is Xinxin Clothing Store.
When business was booming, Gao Yue came to see Gao Mingcheng during his winter vacation.
Gao Yue came with a gift. Of course, the gift was not for Gao Mingcheng, but for Xiao Xuxu.
He stared at Xiao Xuxu with eyes full of amazement.
They have been playmates since they were young and have a very good relationship.
Now when he saw Gao Mingcheng's son, Gao Yue had an incredible feeling, and also a feeling that he and his brother Gao Hong were falling behind.
An inexplicable sense of urgency arose in my heart.
"Xiao Xuxu, call me uncle!" Gao Yue teased the child.
After the confinement period, Xiao Xuxu’s wakefulness time became longer. If you leave him in bed for a long time, he will make ah ah ah sounds, indicating that it is time to pick him up and go for a walk or play.
If a child is crying heartbreakingly, he needs the mother to hold him and comfort him.
Gao Yue was lucky when he came. Little Xuxu was in a good mood and didn't cry. When Gao Yue tried to hold him, he didn't show any shyness. Instead, he looked at Gao Yue with curiosity.
This wonderful feeling made Gao Yue fall in love with this child for no reason.
Similarly, if you hug a child and the child starts crying as soon as you hug him/her, then it will be difficult for you to like that child.
On the contrary, if a child cries when others are hugged, but does not cry when you hug him and even smiles at you, then you will feel a sense of pride and complacency deep in your heart and naturally like that child more.
Gao Yue said proudly: "Look, Xiao Xuxu likes me!"
Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng just smiled casually.
After more than a month of getting along, he has figured out Xiao Xuxu's temper. He is an emotionally stable child who seldom cries unless he is uncomfortable.
There is a saying that goes, a child’s future can be seen at the age of three.
According to Gao Mingcheng, you can tell that someone has aged in just three months!
In his previous life, although he didn't spend much time with his eldest son, he knew that although his eldest son was silent and introverted, he was calm and composed when faced with problems and handled things in a very organized manner.
Overall, he was quite satisfied with his eldest son. The only regret was that he missed his growth period and did not train him well.
As for the youngest son...
Gao Mingcheng glanced at the beautiful belly and thought to himself, why not... just not have a little son in this life?
