The Beauty in the Peasant Family - C246

Although Qin Wuya had not been raised before in her previous life, there were many relatives and friends by her side who knew about this. For example, a newborn baby’s head is vulnerable to damage, and hair plays a protective role to some extent.

Especially in summer, hot weather is not suitable for wearing a hat, if do not have hair very easily cause sunburn, even a little carelessness can cause brain damage.

This also caused Qin Wuya to be a little worried, and she couldn’t help but think about whether or not she should set up a small awning along the corridor in the courtyard. That way, even if the sun was poisonous, they wouldn’t have to stay in the house all day without a meal.

The more he thought about it, the more Qin Wuya felt that this idea of his was feasible. After eating the alimentary diet and handing the child over to the wet nurse Yu’s and Fu Xi to take care of, he simply pulled Zhang Shan and started to talk about his own suggestion.

For the first time, Zhang Shan’s father was even more inexperienced with this kind of thing than Qin Wuya. He only listened, and didn’t care what Qin Wuya said, he only smiled and nodded in agreement.

It was unknown whether it was because Zhang Shan’s expression was simply too natural and sincere, or because Qin Wuya herself had already set her mind on it, and did not truly intend to listen to what Zhang Shan had to say, nor did she see that Zhang Shan was being perfunctory.

As a result, the two of them chatted excitedly and earnestly. Although they were talking about the same thing as a chicken and a duck, they seemed to be rather compatible. Before they fell asleep, they had already decided on the entire process of the matter.

When Xu San had led a dozen of his brothers to protect the manager’s wife earlier, he had also contributed greatly to the matter of fighting with Zhu Chongjiu of the Central Ji Hall and delivered the news at the most critical time. Because of this, his position in the hall had been raised by Zhang Shan, and the number of his brothers had changed from a dozen to seventy or eighty people.

Today, he had to be addressed as Master Xu by the hooligans on the streets and the active businessmen.

However, Xu San was also an amazing person. No matter how many people there were outside, five of them were six. He would run to the backyard no less than before. In any case, he was much more diligent now.

Speaking of the past, only when Qin Wuya had something she needed someone to do did she ask Fu Zhi to go to the Outer Academy to call Xu San in. Now, it was actually Xu San himself who was more willing to run to the rear courtyard.

Needless to say that Xu San truly had some methods of finding people, it was precisely because of this that whenever Qin Wuya thought about doing something, she would naturally think of Xu San first. It was the same this time.

Qin Wuya had wanted to make a simple drawing beforehand, so sshe called Xu San over, and based on the details on the drawing, he told him the suitable material.

In fact, Qin Wuya did not know much about the materials that could be used for construction in this world. Fortunately, Xu San was a door expert, so Qin Wuya could give him a few materials that he needed.

Seeing that Qin Wuya was not clear about the specifics of the ingredients, Xu San suggested that they should go and collect them for Qin Wuya to look through.

Hearing that, Qin Wuya felt that Xu San’s suggestion was similar to the color card of the predetermined furniture ingredients in the future. It was very practical, and could save him a lot of unnecessary effort, so he nodded his head in agreement.

Xu San’s efficiency was not bad, in less than two days since Qin Wuya had given him the blueprint, he had already gathered most of the main ingredients, and he even took a portion of each to show Qin Wuya.

Furthermore, although the Grand Dynasty was still in the non-industrial era of the feudal dynasty, it would not be difficult for them to find something as long as they had money.

For example, when Qin Wuya first transmigrated to the Qin family, he only knew one kind of oilcloth paper s that could block rain and water, but out of the materials that Xu San had found, Qin Wuya had seen two types of materials that were obviously more reliable than oilcloth paper s.

One is called red suede cloth, which is made from a kind of animal skin called red suede. Compared with other animals, this kind of leather material was softer and thicker and more durable. Therefore, it could play a good role in waterproof and heat preservation.

It was said that while they were marching, many of the military tents used by the generals were made from fine red chamois cloth.

Of course, this type of hide had its own drawbacks. The first step was that it was a bit too heavy.

Although red chamois leather cloth is lighter and softer than animal leather material, it is still leather material. Making a pair of shoes to make clothes is better, but to make a shed you need at least ten pieces of whole leather, so adding the weight of these pieces together is not to be underestimated.

What Qin Wuya wanted to do was to make a summer awning, and take all the items into the autumn, then dismantle them. This way, when selecting the ingredients, one would naturally want all the materials to be light and easy to fold. This way, the red suede material would no longer be considered as a priority.

As for the other kind of cloth, it was actually somewhat similar to the oilcloth paper, it was called the Tong Luo Cloth.

From the looks of it, the Tong Luo Cloth was not much different from the oilcloth paper, but when Qin Wuya held the Tong Luo Cloth in her hand and tested it out, he could clearly feel that the strength and tenacity of the cloth was much better than that of the oilcloth paper. It was not much different from the waterproof fabric that was used as a tent by later generations.

Just that, he did not know how much it was worth. After thinking for a moment, Qin Wuya asked Xu San: “What’s the price of this Tong Luo cloth?”

“Two silver for one.” Xu San.

Two taels of silver each was not cheap at all. At least two taels of silver was enough to buy a carriage full of oilcloth paper. It was even more expensive than ordinary linen cloth.

However, since Qin Wuya had some silver in her hands, she would naturally not be as frugal as when she was wearing it. She did not dare spend any more, and would only use two sets of cloth, for a total of four silver. Compared to spending several hundred taels of silver on ten or so pieces of fine red chamois leather, these four taels of silver were considered a small amount.

After the cloth was set, naturally they had to fix the support, according to Xu San’s intentions, it would be best to choose bamboo strips with sufficient tenacity, but Qin Wuya felt that using the copper pipe to make the cross support was much more stable.

In the end, they agreed that the construction price of the copper pipe was too high, so Qin Wuya chose to compromise. She only used the copper pipe to make a four-cornered base. As for the support on the four sides and the top, it was more than enough to support and be willful according to Xu San’s suggestion.

The cloth that covered the sky and protected the rain, the rest of the bedding and curtains were all a small matter. Even Qin Wuya and the ladies in the courtyard could do such a thing.

Therefore, Qin Wuya did not waste any time on these things, she only told Xu San to find a suitable craftsman to set up the hut first.

Just as Xu San was busy with his work, Qin Wuya did not idle around to lead the Tsai Zi, Madam Wei, Fu Xi and the Zhang Clan in sewing.

“Ugh …”

Of course, with Qin Wuya’s needlework skills, the only thing that could be used for it was drawing blueprints and determining the shape and size. As for sewing, it still required the skills of Madam Wei and Fu Xi.

What Qin Wuya wanted to do was something similar to how it combined with the Tang Dynasty’s high seats and the later generations’ tatami. In addition, in order to satisfy Little Wei Yan, who would be able to frequently crawl outside in the coming months, this Qin family version of the special tatami naturally could not be built using simple wood and other things.

At the very least, they had to be covered with thick cotton pads and bamboo mats, and there was no lack of things on all sides that were similar to fences and collision protection belts, and these things could directly be customized outside, which was obviously not what Qin Wuya wanted, which was why she got Xu Sanjiu to hand over a few carts of cotton for him, and also personally picked a few pieces of soft and solid cotton cloth, thinking to take advantage of being free these few days, and lead the few women in the courtyard to make them himself.

Although there was no sewing machine these days, the woman’s needlework was not covered, but after three days of hard work, Xu San brought the craftsmen’s prototype structure up, and the few women in the courtyard had already brought out all the things that Qin Wuya wanted.

A thick, square cotton pad about two meters long, two meters wide, and one palm tall. The lining of the cotton pad was naturally the same as the one Xu Sanli had brought with him.

Compared to the cotton of later generations, the cotton was not fluffy enough, but it could withstand much more pressure when used to make cushions. At least, it was not quite able to look like cotton.

Of course, although the cotton wool could withstand pressure more than the cotton, it was still not enough compared to the sponge latex that was commonly seen in modern society. Therefore, aside from directly pressing the three layers of cotton wool into a layer of height, Qin Wuya was still worried about adding a sufficient amount of fine silkworm sand inside.

Silkworm sands are traditional Chinese medicine with a disgusting origin. They are collected from June to August and dried after animal dung collected from the second to the third sleep. They can be used to clean the soil and shred the mulberry leaves.

However, although the source sounded a little disgusting, the silkworm was still a good item. Silkworm sands, pungent taste, sweet, warm nature. The utility model has the functions of removing wind and reducing moisture, reducing stomach turbidity and reducing blood pressure.

In addition to eye disease, conjunctivitis, panic, neurasthenia insomnia, migraine, hypertension, liver fire and indigestion, arthritis and other symptoms can play an auxiliary role in the treatment.

In Qin Wuya’s previous life, there were many pillows that liked to be made of silkworm sand. Especially in summer, silkworm sand can also play a role of cooling down the fire.

And because silkworm sand has strong sweat absorption, good ventilation, and warm winter and cool summer, using sleeping products as infants can not only correct the head shape, absorb the sweat and prevent the vomiting milk, but also prevent the eruption and promote the brain development.

Now, although Qin Wuya did not use the silkworm as a pillow, she very wealthily used the large amount of silkworm sand to directly make a tatami mat.

The medicinal value of the silkworm sand was not bad, especially in Cloud Prefecture located in the northwest part of the Great Li Dynasty. Due to the lack of medicinal ingredients for a long time, the price had naturally increased by several fold.

For this reason, even the rich Ran Family would rarely use silkworm sand as a filling material directly in their pillow, let alone someone as generous as Qin Wuya who would actually make a two meters long bed sized tatami mat.
