Tang Shiyue originally thought that this job was actually very simple, and if one studied hard, there was no way one could not learn it. Especially now, how should one put it, with the clan's expectations on their shoulders, everyone would definitely study very hard, and there would be no such thing as passive resistance or anything like that.
I didn't expect that there are people who can't learn it. It's not that they can't learn it at all, but it's just that their fingers can't be turned around, and the knitting doesn't look good.
In this case, you can only tell them to take it slow. If that doesn't work, you can only replace them.
After spending a whole morning and seeing that everyone had learned how to do it, everyone was given a new roll of thread and officially started knitting socks.
Tang Shiyue is a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder. From beginning to end, she demands perfection. Not even a wrong stitch is allowed. All unsatisfactory ones will be sent back for re-knitting.
For example, when knitting socks, the number of stitches required for the sock loop, the number of stitches to change to flat stitch after many loops, the number of stitches to add after many loops, and the number of stitches to add are all fixed, neither more nor less. For this reason, she also gave each of them a handful of counting chips for them to use for counting.
Seeing that everyone had gotten started, Tang Shiyue looked at Madam Zhou, who was chatting animatedly with a few people from the village, so she strolled away on her own.
After all, she is a person with a lot of debts! She has to race against time!
She planned to knit a pair of socks for each of Mr. Xu, Qi Xiaolang, Tang Shirong and the two kids, and then go back and slowly start knitting hats.
In fact, if you really want to do it, the speed is not slow. After all, there are no notices, no computers, no mobile phones, no entertainment these days, and you can only knit sweaters!
...
...
Mrs. Ye stopped sewing and started knitting for Han Yi and her little grandson Changrui. After all, this job did not strain the eyes and once one was skilled at it one did not even need to look at it, and it did not interfere with chatting and gossiping at all.
And Mrs. Ye is really fast! She can knit a pair of shoes a day while cooking!
Tang Shiyue finally showed no respect for the elderly or the young... He secretly asked her to help knit the two little ones' socks, and later found that she still couldn't catch up, so he secretly asked her to help knit Tang Shirong's socks as well.
When she had finished weaving Xu Wenqu and Qi Xiaolang's pieces and thought she could finally take a break, Madam Zhou asked her, "Don't you want to weave one for Magistrate Lin?"
Tang Shiyue: “…”
She could only continue knitting with a sad face.
So the most common scene at home recently is that Tang Shiyue, Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Zhou sit together knitting wool...
Every time she raised her head and moved her neck, Tang Shiyue felt that she was getting old. She imagined the scene of her leading a village of women dancing in the square, and she was instantly scared and broke into a sweat.
She doesn't want this!
As expected, living a feminine life would wear down her ambitions! So as soon as the winery started making jujube wine, she went over to help.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, Wang came out slowly.
She took the initiative to greet the two: "Busy?"
When the two men saw her, they stopped smiling at the same time. Wang sat down on a chair beside them and felt extremely comfortable. She couldn't help but feel secretly jealous.
Tang Shiyue used bamboo curtains to surround the east and west wing rooms, and placed a few armchairs on each side. People could sit on either side when the sun was shining. It was bright and comfortable.
Wang suppressed her anger, then pretended to be coquettish and tilted her head to look at what Zhou was holding: "What are you doing..."
Madam Zhou immediately hid the work in her hands.
Wang glared at him at that time: "What are you doing?"
Madam Zhou asked, "Nothing, what do you want to do?"
Wang was so angry that she gasped for a long time and said angrily: "Why do you have to do this? I just want to take a look, can I still rob you?"
As she spoke, she raised her chin and gave her a reserved smile: "Everyone knows that my embroidery is top-notch in this area. I have never heard of those embroiderers like Lin Xiu Niang and Qiao Xiu Niang. How can they compare with me?"
She stroked the butterfly embroidered on her body with dignity: "I am the mother now, but Yue'er actually hired an embroiderer from outside as her master. Isn't this a joke? I've thought about it. I shouldn't be lazy. I should come out to help Yue'er manage the workshop..."
It’s a nice thought.
Madam Zhou simply didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Ye was also amazed.
This was the first time she faced Wang's behavior.
She is not destined to be a princess, but she is full of princess syndromes. The seductive and charming look she puts on is really an eyesore.
Madam Zhou said bluntly: "Yue'er won't agree to it."
Mrs. Ye also said, "This has nothing to do with whether the embroidery is good or not! This is not embroidered!"
"You!" Wang glared at her, then changed her mind and pulled out her handkerchief, sobbing and crying: "You think I didn't hear that Qiao Xiu Niang is just an adulterous woman who was divorced! Tang Shiyue would rather use her than me! I raised her in vain! Does she still regard me as her mother?"
Mrs. Ye couldn't help but said, "Do you have ears that can hear the sound of the mountains? You can't even hear everything from our walls? Madam Qiao was wrongly accused, didn't you hear it?"
Wang looked up at her from above the handkerchief, her tone somewhat pitying: "How could you believe such a thing? But I can see that she is very young, and since she has a bad relationship with her husband, it is natural for her to have an affair with someone else. Do you really think she is innocent?" She shook her head and laughed softly twice.
The two were so confused by her attitude of "everyone else is drunk but I am sober" that they didn't know what to say.
Madam Zhou said with disgust: "Don't waste your energy. Yue'er won't agree no matter how much you say it."
"I really can't reason with you!" Wang glanced at the two plain-looking village women with contempt, and acted like a master: "Where is the workshop? Take me there first. If it weren't for... a place like this, I really don't think I want to go there!"
"No!" Mrs. Ye said, "Yue'er said you are not allowed to go out."
Wang was a little anxious: "I am her mother! I will tell her when she comes back! Take me there first!"
"No!" Mrs. Ye stood in front of her: "You can't go out."
Wang said angrily: "How dare you commit treason!"
Mrs. Ye said, "I was hired by Yue'er, not by you. Why are you saying that I am disrespecting my superiors?"
Wang didn't expect these two people to be so stubborn: "If you don't get out of the way, I'm going to yell!"
Mrs. Ye's eyes flashed with ferocity and she raised her fist: "You dare!"
Wang was so scared that she took two steps back! She had heard that she had killed someone!
She wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she dry heaved twice. She couldn't say anything for a long time, and rushed back to the room, covering her mouth.
Mrs. Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she couldn't take it lightly or seriously. If Wang really made a fuss without caring about the consequences and alarmed others, it would probably cause trouble again.
When Tang Shiyue came back from the winery, Mrs. Ye discussed it with Madam Zhou and decided not to tell her about this, otherwise she would be angry for nothing.
It seemed that Mrs. Wang was frightened and did not come out to eat dinner. Tang Shiyue did not care. She thought it was okay for her to eat or not. It would be fine if she starved to death.
She spent several more days and finally knitted a pair of socks for each member of County Magistrate Lin's family, and prepared to go to the county government office.
During this period, Han Yi did not wait for the merchants. He took a group of brothers and went to Lanzhou again with the people arranged by Qi Jing. This time he planned to stay for a while longer to consolidate this trade route.
