Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

"Yes, ma'am." Ling'er listened to the order and took a large bag of things from the carriage, entered the camp, untied it and handed a pair of socks to Shen Yu'an.

After Shen Yuan took the socks, he blinked his almond eyes and showed them to everyone.

"You don't need hats, but you can definitely use these socks." While talking, he stretched the socks to show their elasticity and inclusiveness.

"See? These socks are soft, comfortable and moderately elastic, and everyone will say no to them?"

The socks of the ancient people were just two pieces of cloth sewn together, which were neither snug nor warm. Shen Yuan felt that it was time to improve this aspect.

So, taking advantage of being pregnant and bored at home, I used bamboo to cut a few pairs of knitting needles and started knitting.

As he spoke, he grabbed Ji Xun's foot and lifted it up, then tore off the socks on his feet and put the pair of woolen socks on him.

Naturally, Ji Xun did not dare to resist his wife's order, so he put on this pair of socks that looked strange to everyone.

The length of this pair of socks is more than half of the calf, and the wool is dyed with comfrey, which is a beautiful purple color.

After putting it on, Shen Yuan excitedly held up Ji Xun's feet to show everyone, and asked Ji Xun while blinking his big eyes.

"How is it? Is it comfortable? Does it stick to your feet? Warm or not?"

Ji Xun is an ancient man, if he really doted on his own woman, how could he expose his feet to the outside like this?
Seeing Shen Yuan asking him now, he raised his feet to look around, and nodded with satisfaction after understanding.

"Not bad, not bad, really good."

"Fit to the feet, warm and very comfortable."

"Put on the shoes and try." Shen Yuan said while putting on the shoes for Ji Xun, "Ah Xun got up and took a few steps? See if it's comfortable?"

Ji Xun got up and took two steps, which was really good.

He boasted sincerely, "This sock fits warmly and is not cumbersome, it is absolutely perfect." He put on the other one while talking.

No one would disbelieve Ji Xun's words, everyone was full of curiosity, as if they wanted to try it too.

"Yes, yes, I knitted a pair for everyone." Shen Yuan said and looked at Ling'er, who hurriedly took out several pairs of wool socks of the same color but different lengths from the bag.

Shen Yuan picked the longest pair out of them, handed them to Emperor Qi Heng, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is specially knitted for you, please try it quickly."

"Okay, okay, Ah Xun said it's comfortable and warm, so it must be comfortable and warm." He took it while talking, and then prepared to take off his shoes.

"Sister Aqin, sister Jiang Yuan." Shen Yuan took out the other two pairs of wool socks and handed them to A Qin and Jiang Yuan, "Your feet are about the same length, these two pairs of wool socks are the same length, you can choose whatever you want.'

"Thank you, Sister Yu'an." Aqin and Jiang Yu'an also quickly took over.

Not long after, the three of them put wool socks on their feet, and after feeling it, they were all astonished beyond words.

This is too comfortable!
But Qi Hengdi took off the socks and put them on and off, only to feel that they are extremely elastic and not constricting his feet. He is very satisfied and admired by comparison.

"Why is this girl so smart? Everything she does is so special, and she always surprises people."

"This pair of wool socks is really a great invention!" Aqin and Jiang Yuan also jumped around wearing socks and praised them greatly.

All of a sudden, several people in the camp hung their waists, carried their robes and skirts, and walked around staring at the socks on their feet.

"Sister Yuan, how do you weave this? You can teach us." Jiang Yuan and Aqin expressed great interest and looked at Shen Yuan expectantly.

Shen Yuan took out a scarf that was being knitted and showed it to everyone.

"Actually, it's not difficult. You need a pair of needles and a ball of wool to knit this thing."

"This kind of needle is sharpened with ordinary bamboo, and it should be smooth without burrs."

While talking, he took out a woolen bamboo and handed it to Aqin and Jiang Yuan, who held it in their hands and inspected it carefully.

This kind of needle is as thin as a stick, as long as two palms, smooth and delicate as if it has been oiled, the two of them were curious for a while.

Shen Yu'an explained, "This is not oil, but beeswax, which can act as a lubricant."

As he said that, he took out a small lump of beeswax and hit it on the bamboo needle, and then weaved with incomparable flexibility with his orchid fingers.

The knitting needles go up and down like butterflies through flowers, which makes people dazzled.

While weaving, I was popularizing with A Qin and Jiang Yu'an.

"This thread is spun from cashmere. You should know better than me how to spin and dye it, and there is no trick. It's just a little thicker than ordinary yarn."

Jiang Yuan stared at Shen Yuan's nimble hands winding and crocheting with interest, and asked curiously: "How is this knitted? My eyes are blurred."

"It's not difficult, I'll teach you when I have time." Shen Yuan put away the work in hand and put the unfinished scarf into the bag.

The emperor and Ji Xun were still there, walking back and forth, experiencing the pair of wool socks on their feet that did not slip or loosen, and felt extremely comfortable and warm.

"A Xun, father, sit down quickly, I have something good for you." Shen Yuan smiled and waved to them.

"Really? Is there anything else good?" Qi Hengdi's interest was completely aroused, and he hurried over and sat down on the armchair.

At this time, Ling'er took out a few pairs of boots that were a little longer than socks from the bag, and distributed them to everyone one by one according to the size.

"These are called" snow boots. I made them with the assistance of a shoe shop in Kang'an City. Each person has a pair. "

Shen Yu'an has a delicate mind, she and Jiang Yu'an went to Yunmengze together, so she paid attention to the size of her shoes.The others are all relatives who have lived together, so it is naturally clear.

The shoes were also made early in the morning, and they were kept until Emperor Qi Heng arrived before taking them out together.

Shen Yuan picked up a shoe and introduced it to everyone.

"The outside is the top layer of sheepskin, which can keep warm from water and snow, and the inside is full of extremely warm sheepskin wool~~"

"I don't need to say more about its comfort, you might as well try it on your feet."

Jiang Yuyan took the shoes, and curiously reached into the boots to feel them. The insides were indeed full of wool and extremely thick.

Just as he was about to put on the shoes, Emperor Qi Heng couldn't wait to put them on, and got up and began to walk step by step.Take a step and say a word.

"Comfortable~~so comfortable! "Fit~~so good!"

"Warm~~It's too warm, softer and warmer than stepping on a sheep."

Ji Xun also put on the shoes at the moment, and he wanted to boast, but Emperor Qi Heng had already praised all the worries about the shoes, and he really couldn't find words.

So he rubbed the seeds of Shen Yu'an's little head.

"Yuan, your brain is really powerful, where do you come from so many wonderful ideas?"

"Isn't Yu Yu fond of doing business? In the future, when the war subsides and the country stabilizes, the business of snow boots and wool socks will definitely become popular."

Aqin and Jiang Yuyan also walked, danced and clapped their hands,

"Yes, yes, such a wonderful thing must sell well."

Shen Yuan laughed a few times, thinking that he could really think about it, maybe it would really work.

There are not no boots in ancient times, but how can they be so soft and delicate? They are directly sewn out of sheepskin, and they are hard and not warm at all.

Wool socks are even more so, and no one can understand the weaving method.

Just when everyone thought it was the best thing, Shen Yuan said with a grin, "No rush, I still have more." Then he stretched out his hand to Ling'er again.
