Lin Wan can make eight or nine by herself in a week, while the few introduced by Yin Peibai manage over fifty a week.
Currently, there are still one or two hundred hats unfinished, but the gloves are done. There are plenty of scarves now. Looks like we’ll need to put more effort in.
A total of over 1,200 pairs of gloves have been made, and there are more than 900 hats.
There are over 1,600 scarves, this quantity should be enough to last through a winter season.
The only problem is they’ve yet to weave even 600 scarves.
Lin Wan feels troubled.
It’s been two weeks since she last went to see Han Yi. Lin Wan wants to visit, but Han Yi called, telling her not to co, saying that it’s unsafe to rush back and forth.
Everyone around her is worried, but she feels like there’s nothing to be concerned about. It’s almost the sa as before she was pregnant.
These past few days, the temperature has noticeably dropped, and you can see your breath as white vapor when you step out in the morning. Lin Wan has already donned her little cotton jacket. Later, with those few pieces of dog skin, Lin Wan made dog skin jackets for herself, Mom, Han Yi, and her brother; the whole city has entered the stage of storing Chinese cabbage.
Brother and Mom hauled two or three cartloads of cabbages yesterday. That’s not all; Mom has been busy storing them these days. There’s no choice; their hotpot restaurant has fewer vegetables in winter, and needs these cabbages and potatoes.
Brother has been digging a cellar at ho these days. There was originally one in the yard, but it’s not enough, so brother is soaking in the cellar to expand it.
Mom said to store more; last year they didn’t understand and bought daily at the market, later the price went up to 0.2 yuan per pound.
And right now, Chinese cabbage is 2 jin for 1 penny. It couldn’t be cheaper, and potatoes are 1 jin for 1 penny. Residents are on the streets every day waiting for old farrs to bring the cabbages.
"Brother, why don’t we hire a couple of people to help dig? How long will it take you to dig alone, and you have class tomorrow."
"I’ve been applying for a day student status at school these days. I’ll co ho after school from now on."
"Why the sudden return ho?" Lin Wan suddenly blurted out in a Northern accent.
"You’re pregnant now, and Mom’s always running to the shop and the school. I’m worried. If I co back in the evening, I can take you and Mom."
"No need, Mom and I are fine like this. You’re about to graduate. This is the ti to study hard."
"The other day, the police caught a gang, reportedly robbers, but so haven’t been arrested yet. I’m worried."
"I’ll be back to sleep in the evenings starting next week."
"Ah... how co I haven’t heard about it?"
"Cong Nan ntioned it; the police haven’t released the news, afraid of causing panic among the citizens."
"... Oh." During the sumr it was human traffickers, and now robbers. Lin Wan thought of the crackdown tomorrow.
These two years have indeed been unsettling. It’s good for Brother to stay ho.
"Then... won’t Sister Mu Qing have any objections?" Lin Wan smiled.
"I talked to her about this, and she doesn’t mind."
"Let’s invite Sister Mu Qing over for dinner at ho soti, and it’s about ti Mom learns about it, right?"
Lin Yinghui lowered his head to think for a mont, then nodded, "Okay, I’ll ask her when I go back, see if she’s willing."
Speaking of als, before the holiday Lin Wan had said she would invite a few close classmates to a restaurant for hot pot.
How about this week?
With the weather turning cold, Lin Wan went to the store on South Street first and wrote down the goods to be supplied soon on the blackboard.
Erni has been keeping an eye on Lin Wan’s shop these days, just waiting for her to stock up. Seeing Lin Wan co over today, she knew there was goods, and last ti when she got her goods, she made a small profit.
"Sis, what goods are there this ti?"
"Knitted scarves, cotton gloves, dog skin hats." Lin Wan said as she showed her the samples she brought back today.
Nearby shops saw it too and gathered around to check out the items.
Seeing more people coming, Lin Wan smiled and said, "Knitted scarves have a wholesale price of four yuan fifty per piece, regardless of style; gloves are one yuan, dog skin hats are twenty-three."
