Chapter 526: Sweater
The fitting room was in the chattering room, and the two were quite curious about the spinning machine, so they immediately changed their clothes and waited for them to be reviewed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two of them walked out of the room talking and laughing, and they posed with their smiling faces.
"Sir, do you think we're pretty?" Natasha asked softly.
To be honest, how can any girl wear it like this in the future. Yang Mingzhi's memory, these fluffy handmade woolen fabrics are gradually disappearing in the 21st century, because the textile industry has developed unprecedentedly.
They were dressed like rural girls who only appeared when they were children, and they were completely different from their slender figures, and they were as fluffy as sheep.
couldn't say a word about the complaint, Yang Mingzhi reluctantly said that it was good-looking.
Star fruit's insight is keen, and she frowned on the spot: "Brother, you are perfunctory to us!" Didn't you notice that my dress was noticeably bigger? ”
Yang Mingzhi shrugged his shoulders, and said that the tall star fruit was indeed short in the hair pile, and these clothes were obviously for men.
Shabanov took advantage of the situation and used Natasha, who was tall enough, as a model, and introduced: "These clothes are woven by the women of the village themselves, and each person is responsible for one piece. These two pieces are woven by the most skilled people, and one can be completed in three days at the earliest. ”
This speed is amazing, Yang Mingzhi hurriedly asked: "Is there still a textile machine in your textile workshop?" ”
"Nope! We only have spinning machines. ”
Yang Mingzhi was even more curious about this explanation. It takes three days to weave a one-meter-seven person wearing a suitable sweater, which is almost as fast as the machine. Shabanov swore that the finished product came from a middle-aged woman in the village.
Novgomel has a large group of women, numbering almost 20,000. Almost all of their husbands were drafted, and most of the ordinary soldiers who joined the Soviet Red Army were killed or captured in the initial war. As the fighting quickly spread and their homes were in ruins, the women had to leave their homes in search of safety, and swamps became the best option.
Most of these women are peasant women, and in addition to farming, they also do very well in housework. In this era, the vast number of peasants were still poor, because trade was once restricted by the CPSU, and all kinds of daily necessities even had to be manufactured by themselves.
When currency trading was allowed again, many necessities of life had high prices, and Maozi's light industry was never developed, and the clothes sold in the city were always astronomical. As a result, most peasant women were able to make their own clothes, and many women were simply natural tailors.
It is on the basis of this national situation that Shabanov has reason to prove the productivity of the women in the village.
He finally said: "If the chief doesn't believe me, you can go to the workshop and have a look." The women were all organized into small groups. We put them in a competition, and the team that wins first will get more points. ”
As he said, with this kind of competition, who would be lazy? In addition to the fact that the production movement is now being carried out in all the handicraft workshops, the long-term ideological work carried out by the Yerentina will surely arouse the sympathy of the broad masses of the villagers, because the common people and the soldiers, under the conditions of war, are already an unbreakable alliance.
He still called the two girls to his side, and instead of going into the house, he checked the texture of the clothes himself.
Yang Mingzhi is actually very resistant to these handmade sweaters, and many times the wool is not particularly soft. If it is a stand-up collar style, the delicate skin of your neck must face clumps of wool, which is very uncomfortable. Fortunately, the two girls are not wearing "anti-human" styles, otherwise it is estimated that they would have been miserable.
Like a connoisseur, Yang Mingzhi deliberately walked in front of Natasha, after all, she was dressed properly. Pinch the sleeves, pat the hair on the back, and tug to determine the elasticity. Hey! You say it's funny or not, Maozi wears a sweater and is covered in hair.
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but be happy, which was directly understood by Natasha as happy. This situation of taking the opportunity to eat tofu directly resonated with the girl, she deliberately puffed up her chest, and the proud peak made all the men who saw him fall into a faint intoxication.
"Okay, stinky girl, I already know, this dress must be very comfortable to wear." Yang Mingzhi frowned and slapped her ass hard.
The girl was happy, and her waist was drooping.
Looking at the star fruit again, she just giggled, this dress was too loose, if it was longer, it would be enough for her to be a futon. "When the war is over, there will definitely be a pile of woolen blankets in the new home!" Looking at his wife's appearance, a simple and happy thought floated in his heart.
Thinking about it again, I'm afraid that Natasha will try to stick to herself at that time, and today I can be very close to her, and Yerenkina has no objection, and I am afraid that this will not be the case in the future.
The devil knows what the future holds!
Yang Mingzhi is too lazy to care so much, so they will continue to wear this sweater, anyway, the temperature is still a little cold.
The miserable sheep continued to be forcibly shaved, and without the protection of their hair, these unfortunate creatures seemed to shiver in the breeze.
Sheared wool requires a variety of treatments, removing debris and washing this is the first step. Wool is boiling in a few large cauldrons outside, which is the second step, just to boil the mutton fat out. The third step is to comb the wool so that the wool becomes absolutely fluffy. The fourth step is spinning, which is the most critical work carried out in the longhouse.
Look at the sheep howling miserably, they are also crying so badly, I am afraid that the black soil village not far away is also a wail of livestock.
Seeing that the commander was interested, Shabanov quietly asked: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander looked at those sheep, did he intend to add food." If you want, we can slaughter one to make a roast sheep. ”
"No need!" Yang Mingzhi hurriedly raised his hand: "I don't want to engage in privileges, these livestock are currently strategic materials." Their coats have become our warm clothing, but they themselves are shivering. You'd better take good care of the sheep and wait until the next shearing season, when we need them to provide wool. ”
Shabanov nodded: "The chief is right, if it's leisurely enough, let's go into the house and have a look." When it comes to spinning wool into wool, you'll love it. ”
"yes, it's time to go in. You're here to lead the way! ”
Several people walked into this large long house, which Yang Mingzhi knew its origin completely.
The forests of southern Belarus are extremely dense and produce tall trees, the largest of which are the Korean pines. It tends to be very stout and thick, and the wood is dense and hard, which is very good as a building. Also because of the material, this woolen workshop has a faint smell of rosin, which is accompanied by a faint smell of mutton.
The house was built when the blacksmith village was re-selected and expanded, and it was also located in the woods, and a lot of flat land was cleared nearby, and there were still woods outside the clearing.
The road is in the middle of the forest, connecting all kinds of houses, and most of the production and living areas of the blacksmith village are covered by the shade of trees.
In this longhouse, there are about 100 women working. Their images are very similar, most of them are obviously obese, their round faces have long lost the grace of a girl, everyone wears a headscarf, and some people make simple masks.
Seeing these women, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but think of Natasha.
She is right next to her, and as a Belarusian, it is not easy to keep in shape. Once she indulges in eating, these aunts will be her template in the future!
