The Petite Wife of the First Family

   Chapter 296 Leather Boots

  Xu Zhizhi thought of so many fresh cowhide and processed them to make cowhide boots.

   She and Mr. Mei Xianggong each made two pairs, one pair of short boots and one pair of high riding boots.

   Anyway, there are so many cowhide leather, so let’s make a pair for each family member!

   Xu Zhizhi did it as soon as she thought of it, and she treated the cowhide first.

  If you have enough cowhide, you can also make yourself a cowhide skirt.

   The work of making the leather boots was handed over to Xia He and Wen Yuluo.

   She is only responsible for drawing the pattern of the boots, and making the boots should be as handmade as the shoes they make out of cloth!

  Wen Yuluo's female red is very good, and the leather boots made should be very beautiful.

   These are hand-made cowhide leather, pigskin lined leather boots, and cowhide outsole.

  Because here, we can't find rubber for soles yet, so use cowhide as the outsole, which is very wear-resistant and easy to wear after thinking about it.

  Xu Zhizhi saw that Xu Qing and the others had almost eaten, so he taught them how to deal with cowhide.

   First soak the cowhide in water to soften it, remove the meat and fat, remove the hair and remove the epidermis, add ash to expand, split the layers, and deash to soften.

  It needs to be pickled and tanned, squeezed water and smoothed, re-tanned and fattened, dried, painted, softened and so on.

  A piece of cowhide has to go through nearly 20 processes to "transform" into high-quality leather!

  Xu Qing and the others have good sword skills, so they can work easily and effortlessly.

   Twenty procedures are pediatrics for them.

  Hai Liu Dao is the best here, doing the most meticulous work, not to mention they have experience in handling pig skins.

   It is even more handy to make, and it should be possible to make cowhide boots from cowhide tomorrow.

  Xu Zhizhi thought happily that when her beautiful husband came back, she would wear leather boots for couples.

   She taught Xu Qing and the others all the procedures.

   Seeing that the sun was about to set, it was almost time for dinner to go home.

  Xu Zhizhi left with a large bucket of braised beef, which was quite heavy to be honest.

   "Madam, it's so heavy, I'll give it to you!" said Qing Yi.

   "No, you can do whatever you want. Xu Qing will take you to send braised beef and beef jerky to Xu's house."

   "Alright then! Take a slow walk, ma'am."

   "Master, walk slowly."

  Xu Zhizhi walked to the corner and received the braised beef into the space.

   It is so heavy that it is too laborious to carry. Anyway, it is in the storage space, so it will save trouble if you put it in early.

   She leaped all the way with light work, and when she arrived at the old place, she put the beef jerky into the space.

   He went back slowly, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Xu Xiaowu rushing towards him.

   "Sister, you went to the mountains for another day, have you eaten yet? Are you hungry?"

   "Sister is not hungry, she made delicious food for you, and Xu Qing will send it over later."

  Xu Zhizhi was very happy to show off to see her younger brother.

   "Really! When will Brother Xu Qing arrive?"

  Xu Xiaowu wanted to eat a little and asked eagerly.

  Sun Hao heard it and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Sister Fairy, what are you doing delicious?"

   "Beef jerky, it will be here soon. Are you waiting at the door or in the yard?"

   Xu Zhizhi teased his brother.

  Xu Xiaowu thought for a while, "I'm with my sister."

   He hadn't seen his sister for a day, and he had to eat anyway.

  Sun Hao is a pure foodie: "Hehe... Then I'll wait at the door! It's better to smell the fragrance earlier."

   Xu Zhizhi went back to the yard with his younger brother.

   Everyone is drying the dried radish today, and they are busy.

   greeted Xu Zhizhi when she came back, "Girl Zhi is back."

   "The fairy girl is back."

  Xu Zhizhi smiled and said to everyone, "I made braised beef and beef jerky today. Xu Qing and the others were already here, so I walked back empty-handed before I could mention it."

   caused everyone to burst into laughter.

  Mr. Li heard Xu Zhizhi's words and said, "Qiu Ju and Xia He can make a soup and a vegetarian dish for dinner."

  Xu Zhizhi complained: As expected of a well-mannered grandma! So good!

  Now, the big housekeeper Wen is only in charge of external affairs, that is, the management of the workshop and the planting of the land.

   He has handed over the food and other things at home to Li Mama and Wen Yuluo.

   Xia He and Qiu Ju took orders and went to cook.

  Lin Zixi now knows that Xu Zhizhi and the others still have a group of people in the mountains, so he wants to go to the mountains to see.

   He is a Confucian and powerful old man who follows Shangguan's old doctor and children every day, and the women dry dried radish and cabbage.

   was really in a hurry, he leaned in front of Xu Zhizhi, hesitated and said:

   "Fairy girl, are you still short of people in the mountains?"

   Xu Zhizhi glanced at Lin Zixi and knew what he was thinking.

   But it's true, if he doesn't know it's okay to say.

   Now that I know, it's a little uncomfortable for him to be a warrior doing easy work every day.

   "Uncle Lin, come to see the mountains with me tomorrow."

  Shangguan old doctor came over and asked, "Girl Zhi, can I go?"

   "Shangguan Divine Doctor, you can go too. Tomorrow Wen Bo will accompany you to see how the rapeseed in Houshan Village is growing."

   As soon as Xu Zhizhi finished speaking, Butler Wen also took a break.

   He also really wanted to go to the deep mountains, but his son told him that he couldn't go in, it was too far and there was no way.

   He was dubious, suspecting that Wen Yushu was intimidating him, and just thought that Xu Zhizhi would agree to bring the old doctor of Shangguan into the mountain.

   Then, he can go too, but he really can't get in!

   He only recently learned that the fairy girl has kung fu.

   Butler Wen knew that Xiao Jingheng and Xu Zhizhi often went to the deep mountains.

   He thought it was all Xiao Jingheng carrying Xu Zhizhi into the mountain!

  On that day, when he saw the fairy girl smashing the solid wood table with one palm, he knew that the fairy girl had kung fu.

   At this time, Xu Qing brought one or two people from Qing to deliver beef jerky and braised beef.

  Lin Zixi looked at the two teenagers and saw at a glance that there was a martial arts superior to him.

  You are so amazing at such a young age! Lin Zixi felt a little ashamed.

   When he first came, he still wanted to protect the fairy girl.

   No one so powerful was with her.

   It can be seen what kind of existence her husband is!

   In the past two days, butler Wen often beats his friends, don't imagine following Xu Zhizhi.

   Her husband is stingy and follows her every step of the way, without anyone else to protect her.

  Lin Zixi listened to his friend and was very curious about how powerful Xiao Jingheng was.

   Now that he sees Xu Qing, he can imagine it.

   "Master and subordinates have gone back." Xu Qing put down the beef jerky and said.

   Father Xu knew Xu Qing, and they lived in Xu's house when they first came.

   He said, "Have you two eaten? Let's eat here before leaving!"

   "Master, we have already prepared dinner there. It would be a waste not to go back to eat."

  Xu Qing bowed and said.

  Xu Zhizhi looked at his father, who was like a good man. He felt that only the food of the Xu family was the best!

   She said, "Dad, don't worry, they eat the same as us."
