After taking the medicine, they planned to go to the market to buy clothes. Su Mianmian thought that it was indeed a lot colder, and she planned to buy some cotton to make a quilt.

"You want to buy cotton?"

Su Mianmian nodded, "Well, yes, I have been sleeping on the ground in the spring breeze and autumn rain, so I plan to buy some cotton to keep warm."

"But we don't have cotton here. Only the officials can use the cotton here. Your general should have it."

What?
No cotton?

How to survive the winter?
It's so cold here in the frontier,

What to do if there is no cotton?
Su Mianmian suddenly felt that she had really traveled through time, to an ancient world.

Zhong Yanhua seemed to guess her doubts, so he continued: "Actually, you don't have to worry, most of us here use sand to make quilts for warmth."

Sandy soil?

Su Mianmian thought of herself wrapped in a quilt made of sand, and felt a little bad.

Seeing Su Mianmian's disgusted look, Zhong Yanhua knew that it was the eldest lady's fault again, and her tone was a bit harsh: "What are you worried about? We all have earthen kangs here. When it gets cold, can't we just burn them?"

Su Mianmian: "."

"I told you, sister-in-law, sleeping on the ground in the spring breeze and autumn rain is really not possible without cotton!"

"Julie, I remember you have kapok at home, why don't you sell it to Su Mianmian."

"This"

Julie was unwilling. She spent a lot of money to buy that bit of kapok, so giving it to Su Mianmian was a waste of money.

But after Zhong Yanhua said this, she didn't dare to refute, so she agreed, "Then I'll go back and look for it tonight. If I can find it, I'll send it over."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Su Mianmian thanked her happily.

"It's okay to send it here, but madam, how much can you give me? To be honest, my man won the kapok after setting up military factories several times on the battlefield, so..."

Su Mianmian immediately understood that she was worried that she would be freeloading!

She smiled slightly and said, "I'll give you five taels of silver."

In the frontier, five taels of silver is equivalent to three months of living expenses. When Julie heard this, she immediately smiled and said: "That's okay, that's okay. If you need kapok in the future, just tell me, don't hide it."

"Um,"

Su Mianmian responded perfunctorily, thinking that she could change her attitude so quickly. As expected, anything can be done if you have money.

The three of them entered a shop on the street that specialized in selling clothes and jewelry. The interior of the shop was extremely luxurious, and the fabrics inside were even more beautiful and exquisite.

Zhong Yanhua spent a long time choosing and finally selected a red dress embroidered with pink peaches.

Just as she was about to pay, Su Mianmian stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, I have enough silver, so don't rob me."

Of course, Su Mianmian couldn't let Zhong Yanhua spend money.

Before Su Mianmian finished speaking, Zhong Yanhua had already taken out five pieces of silver from her purse and stuffed it into her hand, "Madam, just listen to me, I don't lack this little money. Besides, you are only 16 years old this year. A child.”

Zhong Yanhua couldn't help but put the broken silver into Su Mianmian's hand, and took her hand again, as if they were two sisters, "Let's go shopping and buy you a pair of shoes. The soles of your feet are all blistered." ”

But when Su Mianmian walked into the shoe shop, she was stunned.

The shoes were all black, and except for the different sizes, they were exactly the same.

Su Mianmian was stunned, Zhong Yanhua smiled slightly and said: "What? I don't like it because it doesn't look good."

''No. "

Su Mianmian turned her head away and said nothing. In fact, she really wanted to complain that they were ugly, but she was afraid that Zhong Yanhua would think she was pretentious.Julie seemed to see what Su Mianmian was thinking. She patted her shoulder and asked her, "Can you make your own shoes?"

Su Mianmian shook her head.

The original owner might, but she really wouldn't.

In ancient times, most housewives could not only make clothes but also shoes, but Su Mianmian knew nothing but cooking.

When Julie heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Otherwise, you give me money and I will make shoes for you."

"It's a good feeling!"

Of course Su Mianmian knew that Julie was here to make money, but Su Mianmian really didn't know how. Autumn was coming soon, and the climate in the border areas was not much warmer than winter. If you didn't make a pair of thick shoes, you would get sick from the cold sooner or later.

"Sister-in-law, can you make these shoes?"

Julie smiled and nodded, "Of course you can, but it will take a while, probably seven or eight days. Don't be in a hurry, just take your time."

"That's great, thank you sister-in-law."

Julie looked at her trusting eyes and thought that it was no wonder the general doted on her so much, her personality was quite lovable.

"Madam, you don't know that Julie is very handy. Not only can she make clothes and shoes, but she can also make complicated official uniforms."

"Really?"

When Su Mianmian heard that Zhong Yanhua was so vigorously promoting Julie, she also had a look of joy in her eyes.

"Really, Julie's father is from the Shangyi Bureau, and he can be considered an official. How could he marry Lao Xue if he wasn't an official? After all, Lao Xue's military position is not low."

"Indeed."

Xue Huaijin was a Taifu. He came to the frontier not to go into battle to kill the enemy, but to command the battle.

Commanding the battle?
Su Mianmian frowned, and for a moment she suddenly felt that Xue Huaijin was unusual. He was probably sent by the old emperor to supervise Guo Chengyun.

But this has nothing to do with her. She doesn't want to get involved in the intrigues between men. She just wants to return to the capital and open a restaurant through her own efforts.

Thinking of this, she rummaged through her purse and handed Julie two taels of silver and said, "Then please make a few more pairs of shoes. By the way, help the general make two pairs too."

Su Mianmian remembered that Guo Chengyun's boots were almost worn out due to constant wear and tear during training. She was still her wife and should help him get a pair of shoes.

"My lady is so kind."

After Julie received the money, her mouth was as sweet as honey, and she opened her mouth to say anything nice.

Su Mianmian smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I also want a few pieces of fabric. Let's see if you have anything to recommend."

"That's good, let's go take a look."

Zhong Yanhua brought Su Mianmian to the cloth shop. This cloth shop was not the largest cloth shop in the town, but its styles of clothes were the most innovative in the town. Su Mianmian liked it very much and bought four pieces of cloth in a row, spending a total of one hundred Zero and nine cents.

Su Mianmian took the cloth bag and left, but Zhong Yanhua called her from behind.

"Sister, I have another recipe here. You can take it back and try it. If it suits you, I'll keep it for you." After Zhong Yanhua finished speaking, he handed Su Mianmian a mysterious recipe.

Su Mianmian took it doubtfully and looked at the densely packed characters on the prescription. They were all traditional Chinese characters. .

"What is this?" Su Mianmian asked in confusion.

Seeing this, Zhong Yanhua smiled and said, "Sister, this recipe is no ordinary recipe. It is said to be the secret medicine of the previous court, and it is guaranteed to be effective."

Zhong Yanhua's voice became softer and softer as she spoke. Su Mianmian was confused. She didn't know what the recipe was. She just looked at the name on it and determined that it was "Ner Xiang".
