Chapter 436: Good Stuff
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan knew the duvets everyone used in the past winters were not made of good quality cotton. That was because high-quality cotton duvets were expensive.
The people’s duvets were made of old cotton, and they used them for many years. Even though the duvet was heavy, it was still frigid in winter. Sometimes it would be so cold even the water in the tank would freeze.
Therefore, no one would go out when it was freezing outside. Sometimes, it even snowed heavily. However, based on Su Binglan’s memory, this place was like a fairy tale when it was snowy. It was full of beautiful snow.
Meanwhile, Ding Wan doubted and asked, “This duvet is so thin, Binglan. Are you sure it can keep people warm?”
She was still in disbelief. ‘How can such a thin duvet keep someone warm?’ Still, Ding Wan finally understood why her niece had told the workers to collect duck and goose feathers, wash, and dry them when she made the down duvet.
‘So, those were for making these duvets.’
Fortunately, Su Fengchen often made grilled chicken and roast duck, which were in high demand. He made plenty of them daily, so Su Binglan’s workers could collect the feathers.
The embroiderers could make many duvets according to Su Binglan’s method. She also said they could use the feathers to make thicker clothes. Ding Wan was confused, but she felt her niece was right.
For example, sweaters were trendy now, and foreigners came to buy them, not to mention the townsfolk of Teng He Town. Everyone agreed that wearing a sweater kept them warm. Even a thin layer would suffice.
People would not feel constrained whenever they wore sweaters to work, either. Otherwise, they could not stretch their arms to work if they wore too much.
Since it was colder in the north, most foreigners who ordered sweaters were from there. Sometimes, it would not be enough if one simply wore thick clothes. Hence, wearing a sweater would help tremendously.
However, sweaters were quite expensive. The cheapest set would cost more than ten coins, and some even cost dozens. Even so, the merchants ordered plenty because they were mostly wealthy people. Those from prominent and influential families would especially buy more things.
The merchants were hurrying to place orders because they had insufficient stock to sell. They had to hurry back to their local area to deliver sweaters as many madams of wealthy families urgently needed them.
Therefore, the merchants hoped Su Binglan would get her embroiderers to make these sweaters quickly.
It would be easy to imitate handbags, backpacks, and rag dolls, but it was hard to imitate sweaters. No one would do it. However, even if one were to imitate the rag dolls, they would be of an old style and not look as good as Su-branded products.
Everything had the Su branding, and the young madams and ladies of wealthy families only set their eyes on Su’s items.
Su Binglan knew her aunt doubted that the duvet was too light as she felt no weight in her hands. It was not like the blankets everyone wore now, which felt hefty.
Su Binglan softly explained, “I promise it’ll feel warmer, Aunt Ding. You’ll know what I mean when you make the duvet and use it yourself.” “I believe you, Binglan. I can’t wait to cover myself with a duvet.”
Su Binglan’s eyes were full of anticipation.
‘Binglan’s research is excellent.’
Then Ding Wan took her niece to see all the items they had prepared for the wedding. Su Binglanw was amazed, “Aunt Ding, your embroidery skills are unrivaled.
Ding Wan’s embroidery was exquisite, and her niece could not stop praising her. Ding Wan had grown accustomed to people saying that, but she felt thrilled when her niece said it.
“I couldn’t have embroidered these things if it weren’t for the techniques you taught me,” Ding Wan could not stop smiling as she spoke of this.
She managed the embroidery shop because she wanted to help her niece and was passionate about embroidering. Ding Wan especially liked researching new embroidery techniques.
Whoever saw her these days would praise her for her excellent embroidery skills. Ding Wan was genuinely delighted to hear it. She knew she had a life goal and direction and felt accomplished.
She suddenly thought of something and said, “Your uncle also wants to ask if the wine you brewed would be ready after over a month.
“Also, the winery construction is completed, right? When will they start making wine? Your uncle and cousin are eager to work, so they asked me to ask you these things.”
Ding Wan laughed despite herself when she thought of her husband and son. Now, the father-son duo had something to do as they made wine daily and had made several pots over the past month. Still, it would take at least one to two months for wine to ferment.
“Aunt Ding, the construction team completed the winery two days ago,” Su
Binglan said, “I plan to hire people after Uncle Fengchen and Zhizhi’s wedding. Then we can officially open the winery.”
“When that time comes, Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian will be managers. However, the first wine we brewed together has fermented for over a month. I’ll go and take a look soon.”
Indeed, there was a fermentation period, but Su Binglan used spiritual spring water, so she guessed it would have shortened the time needed for the wine to ferment.
After talking with her aunt, Su Binglan left Su’s Embroidery and prepared to go to Ding Wan’s house to check on the wine.
Since it was winter, not many people were outside. However, the Su Teng villagers were enthusiastic when they saw Su Binglan. “It’s cold today, Miss Su. You should wear thicker clothes.”
“Thank you, Aunt Liu.”
“Miss Su, did you just return from the embroidery shop?”
“Yes, Granny Li. I just went to the embroidery shop to check on things.”
Su Binglan would respond and smile back whenever people greeted her. Still, only a few people were outside, and she saw Song Yi along the way, driving an oxcart out of the village.
Song Yi immediately got down from the oxcart when he saw Su Binglan. He said respectfully, “Hello, Miss Sul”
Song Yi was grateful to Su Binglan. His family’s living conditions had improved exponentially because of her. He had earned two silver taels last month, and his mother had earned one.
This month’s earnings were comparable to his family’s in several years. Life at home for the Song family was good now.
Su Wenxiu had cured Mr. Song’s foot. Mr. Song had been restless at home,
Su Wenxiu had also cured Mr. Song’s foot, and Mr. Song had been restless at home, saying that he also wanted to apply for a job when Su Binglan were to open another shop and hire men this time.
‘I met Liu Qiao, thanks to Miss Su. That’s because Miss Su had opened her factory, and Liu Qiao works there as a manager. I got to know Liu Qiao because I collect and deliver goods for the factory.’
The couple was business students who worked under Su Binglan. They received monthly salaries, and both the couple’s families were satisfied. Mr. and Mrs. Song said they would go to Liu Qiao’s house to propose a marriage between the two before New Year.
Song Yi’s heart felt warm as he thought of that. Su Binglan nodded and smiled. “Are you going to deliver goods?”
“Yes, it’s time to deliver the goods to everyone..”
