Chapter 162: Rooster Crows, Five Drums and Resurrection Fragrance

Next, a few people went to the embroidery shop and bought silk thread, a pen specifically for tracing patterns, an embroidery stand, and a few small stretchers, and then they arrived at the gate of the city. He met up with Gu Zhang and the others and headed home together.

  After returning home, Mrs. Chen took out the pair of pearl flowers she bought and insisted on putting them on Gu Fei's head.

  When Gu Fei heard that she had spent ten taels of silver, she felt a heartache.

  But I bought it all, just leave it there, just plug it in, alas.

  Gu Fei returned to the room with two pearl flowers on her head, locked herself in the room, took out the book "Artificial Culture of Pearls", and copied it using the words of this era. Some of the contents related to modern knowledge were blurred. , or use other words instead.

  Pearls are so valuable, how can you not keep them!

  Feed it!

  Although this book gave her a headache just looking at some of the proper nouns, and some of the operations in it seemed complicated to her just thinking about it, she still had to do it!

  Although my family is ready to grow peppers in spring, once the peppers are on the market, as more and more people grow them, they will become less and less valuable.

  To make money, you have to rely on cultivating pearls.

  Rich people make the best money.

  She doesn't know how to operate it, but she still has her father, her elder brother, and her capable mother. They discuss it and try it, and they will figure it out slowly.

  After dinner, Gu Fei handed the copied book to her father and let him digest it slowly.

  I clapped my hands and went back to the room, splitting threads with Lan Zhilian'er.

  I went to the embroidery shop today and asked about it. The shopkeeper didn't believe in Lanzhi's craftsmanship and asked her to take some embroidery pieces to have a look first. If her skills were passable, she could be given work to take home.

  Lanzhi planned to embroider a handkerchief and a purse. She held back her energy and wanted to embroider them extremely delicately.

  The more meticulous the work, the thinner the embroidery thread must be.

  This thread must be split. One thread must be divided into two strands, four strands, or eight strands, and the most is divided into sixteen strands.

  Chen and Li Chunhua were sorting out some old clothes and stuff, and planned to make paste tomorrow to make coats and shoe soles.

  Shoes bought from outside are too expensive, so you still have to make them at home.

  Gu Qing played with Xiaocao, Erlang Sanlang, those who fed the mules, and those who fetched water. In short, everyone was busy.

  ······

  Xiao Yu was not idle in Prince Qi's palace either.

  He stared at Shitou. Shitou took out a package from his arms with a sad face and opened it. There were about ten sticks of incense that were as long as one finger.

  Xiao Yu asked him, "What is this?"

  Shitou said with a bitter face, "The rooster crows and the five drums revive the fragrance."

  Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the name, "How do you use this thing?" Shitou

  said helplessly: "Light it and put it in Just put it in the house."

  "This stick of incense can make people sleep until midnight, which is when the rooster crows, so the rooster crows and the five drums rejuvenate the soul."

  Xiao Yu laughed. "This thing is great, it's so good!"

  "I told you that you have a lot of clever ideas, and it is true!"

  He stood up and walked around the room twice excitedly, "If this thing is lit, how long will it take for people to fall asleep? ?"

  Shitou opened his mouth, "I don't know, the person who gave me this thing didn't tell me."

  Xiao Yu glared at him, "Idiot, I don't know how to ask first."

  "You have to know the fragrance." When will it happen next? Half an hour? Otherwise, we just light the incense and wait outside?"

  Shitou quickly came up with an idea, "How about we give it a try first?

  " There are more than ten here, which is enough."

  "Yes, I have to give it a try." Xiao Yu nodded.

  He glanced at Shitou, who quickly shrank his neck and said, "Master, I can't do it. I have to follow you out at night."
