Chapter 318 Make Your Own Clothes
I held Daju in my arms and went to the dining room.
Lunch was on the table and everyone was there.
Every day the kitchen had to prepare two full tables of meals. Ade enjoyed it so much that he took in two apprentices and enjoyed being a master all day long.
Hua Qing was busy studying cases, so the two of them simply moved in. Since Ade had his own room before, they lived there.
Life returned to normal, but Tian Xiaoxiao felt that such days were more hopeful.
Ade has been researching new dishes recently. She can make new dishes on her own without Tian Xiaoxiao providing her with methods and steps.
Hard work really doesn't matter compared to talent.
When they were almost done with the meal, the family started chatting.
"It's so cold today. It feels much colder than this time of year in previous years. Last year I only needed to wear a coat at this time, but this year I still feel cold even wearing a fur coat."
The person who said this was Shi Fei, who had always been the most resistant to cold weather and usually worked outside a lot.
"I feel the same way." Feng Lei interrupted.
"Today I went to buy yellow paper, but I was freezing cold, so I ran back."
Tian Xiaoxiao listened and asked Daju: [Qingchen, do you feel cold? Ah, I forgot that you don’t know the difference between hot and cold.]
Daju: [I feel cold, this weather is abnormal. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Huh? If even you feel cold, then it’s really cold.]
Daju: [There may be a snowstorm this year, so take precautions in advance. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Should we inform Nangong Rui? ]
Daju: [Of course, we need to gather the supplies now, otherwise the people will scramble to grab them, and those who profit from the national disaster will come out and make trouble again.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Every disaster is a touchstone.]
Daju: [Your words can be used as test questions for the imperial examination. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I can make a kind of clothes that are very warm. Unfortunately, I don’t have the materials.]
Daju: [What materials are needed? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I need the fluff under the duck's wings.]
Daju: [How cruel. 】
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The ancients didn’t say they were cruel when they wore fur coats, so is it a big sin for me to make a down coat?]
Daju: [Just go get a handful and use your cornucopia, isn't that enough? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Okay, I'll go kill my two ducks and have a meal tonight.]
Daju: [Is it really that warm? Could it be possible to plant duck down on the body?]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [You’ll know when I’m done.]
"Ade, please do me a favor." Tian Xiaoxiao quietly approached Ade. "I want you to help me kill those two ducks and make roast duck for dinner."
"Okay, miss. I'll be there in a moment." Ade agreed readily.
"You help me kill the duck and I'll pluck it myself."
Tian Xiaoxiao was afraid that Ade wouldn't know how to handle the duck down.
"Okay, I'll go boil some water now." Ade is a man of action.
Daju: [When will your store open? I have to go to Posuo Country.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It may take a few more days. I will discuss it with Pei Sanniang tomorrow. Let them handle it themselves without waiting for the opening.]
Daju: [Well, let’s go to Xijing to find Nangong Rui first and tell him about the snowstorm, and then we’ll go right away.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [So urgent?]
Daju: [A little anxious. The direction of the snowstorm seems to be that way. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then let's set off tomorrow afternoon. How many people do you need to take with you? ]
Daju: [Anyone who wants to go can go. We will be back soon anyway. We have to go back to Shengjing for the Spring Festival.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I understand.]
"We're going out for a trip tomorrow. If you want to go, just sign up!" Tian Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea and said to everyone with a smile.
Except for Tian Xingjian, everyone said they wanted to go.
Tian Xingjian felt like he was being scratched by a cat.
"Dad, can you take care of everything while you're alone at home?" Tian Lele expressed her concerns and she decided to stay and help her father.
She felt that this time when she went out, she would most likely fall in love with the Prince of Dongchang at first sight, so she didn't want to travel and stayed at home to avoid the romantic disaster.
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult, but I will try my best. If Lele wants to go and play, go ahead."
Tian Xingjian didn't want to restrict his children.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but it's also important to accompany Daddy. Besides, they're all gone, and Daddy is too busy alone. Lele feels bad for him."
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Why did my sister change her personality this time? ]
Daju: I won’t tell you even if I know.
Daju: [When the snowstorm comes, your father really needs help. It's great that your sister stays to help. We can come back early. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I asked Lu Xiaofeng to stay and help.]
Lu Xiaofeng: I don’t agree. I also want to meet the ancient descendants.
Daju: [Lu Xiaofeng has to go with us. Don't worry, if there is something wrong in Shengjing, I can sense it, and we can just fly back directly.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Okay. I'll go get ready. But before I go, I have to make a few down jackets overnight.]
"Sister, can you come and help me make clothes this afternoon? And if the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are good at sewing, please come and help."
Deng Hongyu and Mo Wangshu agreed.
Mo Wangshu's three younger sisters also said that their needlework was pretty good.
Ade had already killed the duck. Tian Xiaoxiao plucked the duck down, washed, dried and disinfected it repeatedly, and then put the duck down into the treasure bowl.
Tian Xiaoxiao drew a blueprint and asked Tian Lele and the others to stuff the duck down into the silk cloth according to the blueprint.
All the women in the house who could take action started to take action.
I managed to make a few pieces in one afternoon.
Tian Xiaoxiao learned her lesson this time. She sewed one piece with one length of cloth and then used the treasure bowl.
Soon, everyone had one.
Ancient cloaks were relatively warm and could be used as walking quilts, so she also planned to add a down lining inside the cloak.
After sewing the extra-large down liner, Tian Xiaoxiao added it to her favorite cloak by herself.
Daju said he was also afraid of the cold. This time, Tian Xiaoxiao finally did not forget her contracted beast and made a wearable down jacket for Daju that was specially designed for pet cats.
But her needlework skills are not good, so the sewing is a bit ugly.
Daju looked disgusted and turned to look for Ade.
After finishing his work, Ade made a down jacket for Daju that only a cat could wear.
Daju: [Look at you, your hands are so clumsy that it’s hard to describe. The clothes you sewed for me are so good that even beggars wouldn’t wear them. Ah De is the one who is really good to me.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [A little girl who is almost five years old, a daughter of a prefect who has never done needlework, do you expect her to sew clothes? ]
Daju: [You are only four years old now, but your body and mind are more than four years old.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [So what? My father's household registration book says that I was almost five years old.]
Daju: [You are stupid, but you are too embarrassed to admit it! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Come on, how many girls in the 21st century can sew their own clothes? Everyone works hard and buys ready-made clothes or has high-end custom-made clothes! ]
Daju: [But this is not modern times, it is also an advantage for a girl to be able to make her own clothes. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [An old antique! There are countless tailor shops in Shengjing now. If you want to wear new clothes in the future, just ask a tailor to make them.]
Daju: [You are strong and you are right. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Try on the clothes quickly and feel the warmth effect! ]
