Chapter 651: 064 New clothes, sentimental_3

Liu Limin felt the utmost disdain for men who were of old age yet still had unrestrained desires. However, as soon as she considered his identity, she did not immediately show impatience. Liu Limin was a clever woman who knew how to be flexible, what’s the harm in letting him have a glance? Just wait, sooner or later he’ll regret it!

Even though that had been said, after learning about this, Lin Yuan hurriedly sent Shopkeeper Liu to hire about ten guards to be stationed at Liu’s Brewery. It’s better to be safe than sorry, after all. Additionally, she let her relationship with Liu Limin be known to others. If Meng Tong, that old lecher, still had some sense, he probably wouldn’t harbor any inappropriate ideas towards Liu Limin. Liu Limin was still an unmarried girl; if that bastard set his sights on her, she would need to be well protected.

Of course, considering that man was Meng Chunyan’s father, Lin Yuan had no good feelings toward him either. She hoped he was all talk and no action. Otherwise, if he were to act, she would definitely not hold back!

The end of the year was approaching. This was Lin Yuan’s first New Year’s celebration in her new surroundings, and she had started making preparations early. Food and vegetables were readily available from the restaurant, so she didn’t need to worry about those. The only thing she needed to take care of was the new clothing for her family. Upon thinking of new clothes, Lin Yuan remembered the rabbits she was raising at home.

Initially, her plan was to breed some rabbits with pure white fur and use their pelts to make clothing. It was usually Lin Wei who cared for the rabbits at home. This time, Lin Yuan visited the rabbit hutch and was surprised to find that quite a number of white rabbits had been bred. She counted them, and there were about twenty, big and small.

After discussing with Lin Wei, Lin Yuan selected a few male rabbits to cull and use their fur for clothing.

Though Lin Wei was reluctant to see the rabbits she had raised by hand killed, upon noticing that there seemed to be too many—and that they were nearly outgrowing their hutch—she didn’t say any more.

Speaking of using rabbit fur for clothing, it wasn’t that simple. Lin Yuan hired a professional hunter from the town to skin and cure the rabbit pelts. The hunter kept muttering that he had been hunting for so many years, and it was his first time seeing so many rabbits with such pure fur.

After the skin was removed from the rabbit, it still needed to be cured. Curing didn’t mean cooking or baking the skin, but rather it involved a series of special treatments to prevent the skins from molding or smelling.

These were the hunter’s trade secrets, and Lin Yuan couldn’t pry them out of him, so she stopped asking.

Carrying several cured rabbit pelts, Lin Yuan paid a visit to Mo Sanniang’s fabric store. Mo Sanniang didn’t just sell fabrics anymore; after taking a few tailoring orders from Lin Yuan, she tasted the sweetness of selling ready-made clothing.

Now, Mo Sanniang had even hired a few nimble, skilled women to tailor clothing in her store.

Seeing Lin Yuan arrive, Mo Sanniang put down her work and greeted her with a smile.

"Sister, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Oh, what’s this? Rabbit pelts?"

Mo Sanniang touched the rabbit pelts in Lin Yuan’s hands and found them soft and smooth to the touch, extremely comfortable, and she couldn’t help being curious. She had never seen such white rabbit fur before.

Lin Yuan handed over the rabbit pelts to Mo Sanniang and then took out the clothing design she had drawn from her bosom, saying to her, "Sister Mo, your business is getting better and better. I’m almost embarrassed to talk to you about such a small deal of mine."

Mo Sanniang took the designs from her, glared at her playfully, and snapped, "Listen to you, who’s business is getting better? Just look at your Rice Flower Fragrance, it’s busy every single day. And don’t even get me started about your Fuman Building. And here you are, making a joke at my expense."

While listening, Lin Yuan smiled and covered her lips mischievously, teasing, "How would Sister Mo know that Rice Flower Fragrance is doing so well and doesn’t have a moment of downtime? Who told you?"

Mo Sanniang was studying the new clothing designs Lin Yuan had brought, and without thinking, she replied, "Who else could it be, but that blockhead..."

Halfway through her sentence, Mo Sanniang suddenly realized that she had been tricked by Lin Yuan, the little minx. Her face turned red, she mock-scowled at her, and quickly changed the subject, "Your new clothes, did you come up with them yourself? Tsk, they’re really good. Here, here, roll the edges with rabbit fur? My goodness, how does your little brain come up with such great ideas?"
