Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1572 - 1571: Wool Sweater_1

Now, it really was a critical moment. Since she couldn’t think of a better excuse, Qiao Xiaomai felt that using Liuli’s descendants as a breakthrough was a very good idea, an excellent one indeed.

Tong Sanlang hesitated over and over again, but he couldn’t come up with a better idea at the moment and had to pick up his pen again to forge a letter from Liuli’s descendants.

After forging the letter, the two followed the method described in it to produce a simple "patch."

Qiao Xiaomai really knew very little about needlework and weaving; she could cobble together two pieces of cloth, then sew them together with needle and thread, and attach a sleeve to make a pullover.

This crude method attracted Yang Wenxiao’s disdain.

He read the letter back and forth several times, then personally examined the woolen sweater Qiao Xiaomai had tinkered with. Observing it for a long while, he too frowned.

The method written on the paper was too simplistic. How on earth was it woven...

Seeing Yang Wenxiao also at a loss, Qiao Xiaomai secretly snickered to herself. He had been disdainful of her before, but now he was stumped.

She didn’t know the method of weaving, so Tong Sanlang wrote the process in an extremely simplistic way. If she couldn’t figure it out, it was even less likely for Yang Wenxiao to do so.

Yang Wenxiao held the woolen sweater Qiao Xiaomai had struggled over in one hand and the letter in the other, glancing from one to the other for a full quarter of an hour before he gave up, "Forget it, call over the most skilled and dexterous Embroidery Lady to study it."

He could handle state affairs, but he couldn’t grasp such meticulous work.

So, Gao Lian went to call people. The Imperial Palace had a dedicated clothing department known as the Needlework Room, where all the skilled Embroidery Ladies were gathered. Gao Lian summoned these Embroidery Ladies to Da’an Palace and had them sit on the open space in front of the Main Hall, weaving by comparing the woolen sweater Qiao Xiaomai had fumbled together.

Yang Wenxiao sat nearby, personally observing. He had clearly stated that the first to figure it out would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. Each of the Embroidery Ladies was invigorated, exerting all their intelligence and ingenuity, racking their brains to turn Qiao Xiaomai’s flawed product into a perfect garment.

After observing for a while and noticing that the sun was climbing higher, indicating that it was time for lunch.

Qiao Xiaomai went to the small kitchen. She cooked some simple food, and after eating, Yang Wenxiao only napped briefly before getting up and continuing to sit in the courtyard to observe.

Gao Lian urged him to enter the Main Hall since it was already May and the weather was quite hot.

Yang Wenxiao waved his hand, insisting on watching closely by himself.

If wool could truly be made into clothing, it would be an extremely significant matter for Daqi.

Extremely significant.

Looking back at history, the Nomadic Tribes on the Grassland had always harassed the Central Plains. These nomads were adept at horseback archery, physically robust, and in comparison to the people of the Central Plains, they were quite fierce. At the height of their power, they had nearly annihilated the Central Plains dynasty.

They had strong warhorses, powerful bodies, and large swords. Using hit-and-run tactics on horseback, they looted the border people’s possessions without restraint. Reviewing ancient history, the Grassland Nomadic Tribes had always been a major concern for the Central Plains dynasties, and even at their weakest, they could still cause significant trouble for the Central Plains dynasty.

It wasn’t until the establishment of Daqi that it used cavalry and explosives to beat back the Nomadic Tribes into the Grassland, even penetrating deep into the Grassland to capture their leaders alive.
