Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 66

After the children had finished their porridge, the housekeeper also brought clothes and shoes.

The newly hired housekeeper along with the house is still very capable. He went to several tailor shops in the midtown area and found that most of the ready-to-wear clothes inside were not suitable for children, and the prices were expensive, so he simply turned around. I went to buy a bunch of thick blankets and had them delivered by the shop workers.

When the time comes, wrap it around your body and tie it with a rope to secure it. That's the clothes. Anyway, children from poor families don't care about whether they look good or not, as long as they are warm enough.

As for shoes, shoes are no better than clothes, considering that these people will follow their master back to Sardinson, so shoes must fit,

In the era of pure handcraft, there was naturally so much inventory in a single shoe store. The butler went to several stores, and after negotiating the price with the shoemaker in the store, paid a deposit and took away the store's inventory and apprentices. The apprentices would follow him to deliver shoes to those children, keeping the ones that fit, returning the ones that didn't fit, and then customizing them to fit the size.

Therefore, some children are destined to have their feet frozen. The housekeeper did not miss this detail. When he bought blankets, he deliberately bought some rough and flawed ones at a low price cut them into strips of cloth with scissors, and wrapped them around their feet. Also, keep warm.

The children who had just eaten their stomachs and felt a little hot on their bodies did not expect that such good things would be waiting for them next.

They were asked to line up again, one by one to get blankets and shoes. Those in the front were given leather shoes with wooden soles and reverse leather. The fur in the shoes made their feet red and swollen from freezing. It becomes warmer and more uncomfortable, which is the symptom of frostbite after warming up, and everyone has long been used to it.

This is probably the first time they have put on such good shoes.

The children in the back have less luck. The children in the front have taken the right size. They can only wear shoes that are slightly larger than their feet. Some of them can only be cut from a blanket. The cloth was tangled, and the foot was tucked back into his torn shoe.

But no one was dissatisfied, they all heard the person who made the blanket and the shoes say that people who don't have shoes will get their shoes later.

Penny was the one in charge of hair blankets and shoes. She noticed that the children had frostbite on their hands and feet. This is a common experience for all people in the lower classes. After getting it, it is very difficult to get better. She used to have this trouble until Wei Wei soaked the mashed **** and white wine for three days, and then wiped the area where frostbite had developed with the alcohol solution. After wiping it for two consecutive weeks, the frostbite on the hands and feet of the people in Sardinesburg was almost healed.

After becoming Wei Wei's maid, Penny rarely has the chance to touch cold water again, she pays attention to keeping warm, and she is now completely free from frostbite.

But she still remembers the pain of getting frostbite.

Silently keeping this matter in mind, Penny decided to ask her young lady when she went back if she wanted to provide some medicine for these children.

She vaguely felt that Wei Wei seemed to have different plans for these young children.

The children who received the blankets and shoes became more obedient. Even if there were children who wanted to run away, they were temporarily restrained. Hank was one of them. He was wrapped in blankets, wearing new shoes, and holding his younger brother. Stay aside obediently, and wait for the next steps from these adults.
