Chapter 455: Snow Boots

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ding Wan was puzzled as the people of this era wove their footwear from cattail gra.s.s. She had seen the boots people from wealthy families wore but wondered if they felt any warmer than regular ones.

Su Binglan looked at her aunt’s puzzled expression and knew she did not know what kind of boots she was talking about. Fortunately, this era had no level of restrictions on people’s outerwear. Ordinary people could make and wear such things.

After some thought, she said, “Follow me to my office first, Aunt Ding.”

The embroidery shop had no papers or pens because Su Binglan kept them in her office behind the shop instead.

Ding Wan nodded and followed her niece into the office. “Alright.’

Then Su Binglan drew the boots on paper and told her aunt how to make them. Ding Wan looked at the drawing and listened before becoming excited. “You call these Uggs?”

Su Binglan explained, “Yes, the bottom is thick and made from a non-slip material. They won’t slip even on icy roads, and since the bottom is thick, it won’t get wet so quickly.”

“These boots look perfect,” Ding Wan sighed, “You want us to make these as soon as possible, Binglan?”

“Yes, please. Here is the size. Make two pairs this size first, then two more for a kid’s size.” Su Binglan knew Baili Jinghua and Baili Xihong’s measurements as she had already planned to make these boots.

However, the embroidery shop was swamped, so they could only make these things one at a time. Su Binglan did not expect Baili Jinghua to be in a hurry to find her parents. Thus, Su Binglan could only rush the employees to make them.

“They look excellent, especially since they can keep you warm during winter,” Ding Wan said.

“Yeah, there’s fur inside, that’s why.” Su Binglan then told her aunt how to make the boots with the simplest method.

Ding Wan was highly talented in this area, so she immediately understood her niece’s instructions. “Don’t worry, Binglan. I can teach the workers to make these, and they should be ready in three days.”

Su Binglan felt relieved when she heard her aunt’s words. She returned home soon after and started to marinate the dried pork.

She had stored the dry-aged pork in a jar for a long time as it was easy to preserve. When Baili Jinghua and her son traveled, they could eat it with dry rations to fill their stomachs.

Meanwhile, Ding Wan did not go to Old Madam Su’s house in the morning.

Instead, she arranged for the employees to make Su Binglan’s requested items.

She only brought the wedding gifts to Old Madam Su’s house in the afternoon. “h.e.l.lo, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law.”

The older couple was delighted to hear that Ding Wan had arrived. However, they did not expect the younger woman to bring so many items with her. Ding Wan had brought large bundles of things into the house from the oxcart.

“Why are there so many things, Ding Wan?”

Su Binglan had been to Old Madam Su’s house yesterday afternoon, so she knew the embroidery shop had been busy preparing some wedding gifts for Miao Zhizhi.

She also knew Ding Wan would bring the gifts over today, but she did not expect there to be so many.

Ding Wan answered smilingly, “Binglan was the one who requested that we make these things, Mother-in-law and Father-in-law.”

After moving and arranging everything onto the brick bed, Ding Wan opened the bags individually. Old Master Su and Old Madam Su were flabbergasted. “E-Everything looks gorgeous!”

Old Madam Su’s hands trembled as she tried to touch the items. Although she wanted to touch them, she dared not proceed, fearing dirtying them. “These are too nice. Are those blankets?”

Ding Wan said smilingly, “These are down duvets. Binglan says they’ll feel exceptionally warmer than ordinary blankets. Those are red sweater sets for my brother-in-law and Zhizhi. This box can hold things like jewelry, and that’s a screen.”

She removed the cloth covering the screen as she spoke. Then she turned it to reveal that both sides were 100% identical.

Old Madam Su was stunned. Her eyes sparkled as she glued her gaze onto the screen, unable to look away. “I-It’s gorgeous!” Then she asked in surprise, “Is that a fragrance I smell?”

Old Master was stunned, too. He had never seen such beautiful things before.

Ding Wan said, “We dipped the thread we used to embroider the screen in some spices so that it smells better. That was all Su Binglan’s idea. She says she’ll personally make the wedding cake, so you already know it’ll taste good.

“We also embroidered those two art pieces based on Binglan’s drawings.

Fengchen and Zhizhi can hang them on the wall.”

Old Madam Su nodded excitedly. “They’re beautiful! No, they’re spectacular! Those two aren’t normal drawings but are embroidered instead. It looks so realistic, too.”

Drawings like those would be worth plenty of money, let alone an embroidered one. Old Madam Su knew these things. She stared at them and could not return to her senses for a long while. “You’re all so thoughtful.”

Ding Wan said smilingly, “Since our family member is getting married, we should do it well. Binglan says she’ll also prepare such gifts when Wenxiu and Wenwu get married.”

Old Madam Su felt touched and warm inside. “That child is always so meticulous. I don’t know how she comes up with these ideas.”

‘People used to say how much we pampered Binglan. Since she’s such a kind person, we simply had to.’

Old Madam Su returned to her senses and said, “Fengchen and Zhizhi will return soon. They went to town to buy wedding candies. They’ll be delighted to see these things when they get home.”

Ding Wan said smilingly, “Well, as long as they’re happy.

After sending the items over, she returned to the embroidery shop to get busy.

The older couple asked her to rest and eat, but Ding Wan said, “I’m quite busy now, but we’ll eat together at Fengchen and Zhizhi’s wedding, okay? I still have things to do at the shop, after all.”

Old Madam Su held Ding Wan’s hand affectionately. “You’re busy delivering things again, aren’t you?”

“Listen to what you’re saying, Mother-in-law. I don’t feel busy. I’m quite happy doing these things.” Ding Wan felt a sense of accomplishment. She felt delighted doing what she was most pa.s.sionate about.

After making the pork jerky, Su Binglan started making the wedding cake. Shen Qiuhua also came home in the afternoon to help her. The duo made the dough together and then carried a few baskets to Old Madam Su’s house.

Many guests would attend the wedding, and Old Madam Su must care for everyone, so the things the duo brought were just right for her to use. They had also arranged to deliver the wedding cake to Miao Zhizhi.

When Su Binglan arrived at her grandparents’ house, Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi had already returned from town. The couple had bought many wedding candies and were wrapping them in bags.

Many families in this era would give their guests one or two candies during a wedding. However, this gesture was more expensive, so they could not bear to give out too many at once.

Still, the Su family’s lives had improved, and Su Binglan said the candies would look better if they wrapped them in small packets. Therefore, Su Fengchen wrapped the candies as his niece suggested.

When their guests arrived, the couple would give them a small bag..
