Chapter 162: Cock Crows at Five Drums and Resurrects the Soul

Next, they went to the embroidery shop and bought silk thread, a special pen for drawing patterns, an embroidery frame, and a few small frames. Then they met Gu Zhang and others at the city gate and went home together.

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

Gu Fei felt a pang of pain when she heard that she had spent ten taels of silver.

But they had already bought them, so they would just put them there anyway. Sigh.

Gu Fei returned to her room with two pearl flowers on her head, locked herself in the room, took out the book "Artificial Cultivation of Pearls", copied it in the language of this era, and glossed over some of the contents involving modern knowledge, or replaced them with other words.

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

Raise them!

Although she felt a headache looking at some of the special terms in this book, and some of the operations in it were complicated, she still had to do it!

Although the family prepared to plant peppers in the spring, once peppers are on the market, they will become less and less valuable as more and more people plant them.

To make money, you have to rely on pearl farming.

The money of rich people is the easiest to make.

She doesn't know how to operate, but she still has her father and her elder brother, and her capable mother. Everyone discusses and tries, and slowly they will always figure it out.

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

She clapped her hands and went back to the room to split the thread with Lanzhi and Lian'er.

I went to the embroidery shop today to ask, and the shopkeeper didn't believe in Lanzhi's craftsmanship. He asked her to take some embroidery to see first. If her skills are acceptable, she can take the work home.

Lanzhi plans to embroider a handkerchief and a purse. She is holding back her energy and wants to embroider it very delicately.

The more delicate the work, the thinner the embroidery thread should be.

The thread has to be split into two, four, or eight strands, and the maximum number of strands is sixteen.

Chen and Li Chunhua are sorting out some old clothes and cloth scraps, planning to make paste, make jackets, and soles tomorrow.

The shoes bought outside are too expensive, so we have to make them at home.

Gu Qing is playing with Xiaocao, Erlang and Sanlang, those who feed mules are feeding mules, and those who fetch water are fetching water. In short, everyone is busy.

······

In the Qi Wang Mansion, Xiao Yu is also busy.

He stared at Shitou, who took out a package from his arms with a sad face. When he opened it, there were more than ten incense sticks that were more than one finger long.

Xiao Yu asked him, "What is this?"

Shitou made a bitter face, "The Rooster Crows at Five Drums to Resurrect Incense."

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

Shitou said helplessly, "Just light it and put it in the house."

"This stick of incense can make people fall into a deep sleep and sleep until the fifth watch, which is when the rooster crows, so it's called the Rooster Crows at Five Drums to Resurrect Incense."

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

"I said you have a lot of tricks, and it's true!"

He stood up and turned around the room excitedly, "This How long will it take for a person to fall asleep after the incense is lit?"

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

Xiao Yu glared at him, "Stupid, you don't know this, ask first."

"We have to know when the incense will take effect after it is lit, a quarter of an hour? Half an hour? Otherwise, we will light the incense and wait outside stupidly?"

Shitou quickly suggested, "My lord, how about we try it first?"

"Anyway, there are more than ten sticks here, which is enough."

"Well, we have to try." Xiao Yu nodded.

He glanced at Shitou, and Shitou quickly shrank his neck, "My lord, I can't do that. I have to go out with you at night."
