Chapter 24 Buckles
Chen Afu sighed twice, hugged Chen Dabao and kissed him twice, and praised, "Yo, Dabao is already beautiful, but when he wears new clothes, his mother can't recognize it, like a little beautiful man who came out of a painting." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoOh, when my son grows up, I don't know how many girls like it. ā
Dabao's happy little face was flushed, and he said incorrectly, "My mother praises my son like this, and my son is embarrassed." ā
Chen Afu said with a smile, "In the future, my mother will praise her son like this every day, and my son will not be embarrassed." After that, he pierced the cupola cannon for him.
Chen Dabao hurriedly got off the kang and put on the small straw sandals and ran to the outhouse. It just so happened that Wu and Ah Lu both got up, and when they saw Dabao wearing new clothes, they praised Dabao without hesitation, which made Dabao crazy with joy.
He really wanted to go outside to show off, especially to show his friends Xiaoshi and Sixizi, who had a good time, but he just looked at the rain and mud outside, but he still couldn't help it, so he had to circle around the house. Because the trousers fell too low, I had to lift the pants up from time to time.
"Alas, it's raining, and I can't go out for a walk." ā
Amused the others.
Today is the first time Chen Afu cooks, and he didn't let Wang do it. She cut the pickles again, but she cut them very slowly, and she didn't dare to shred them, so she could only slice them. The chopped pickles were washed with water and mixed with crushed rock sugar and garlic. It's a pity that there is no chili oil or sesame oil, otherwise it will be more fragrant.
is not like Wang Shi boiled a white egg for Chen Ming in the morning, but steamed into egg custard, put a little lard and chopped green onions, and the fragrance spread far and wide.
The meal was served, and the brown rice porridge was thicker than usual. Except for Wang's who was a little distressed and spent more on the ingredients, everyone else was happy.
Ah Lu took a bite of the pickles and said, "The pickles made by my sister are really delicious, not salty, and very fragrant." ā
Dabao was so excited that he couldn't do it, as if he had made it. Listening to the little uncle's praise, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiling, and while eating pickles, he couldn't help but echo, "Well, well, my mother is so smart that it's really unexpected." Grandpa taste, grandma taste. "Give Chen Ming and Wang pickles back.
Chen Ming also took a small spoon and scooped a spoonful of egg custard for each of them, and said with a smile, "Taste, Ah Fu is skillful, and the steamed egg custard is much more fragrant." ā
Wang was also overjoyed, and pretended to be angry on his face, "I also know that it is delicious, but this is the condition at home." ā
Chen Afu pulled Wang's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Mother, my illness is cured, and our family's life will get better and better." In the future, I will make more money and make more delicious food. ā
In fact, the Wang family is only four years older than Chen Afu in his previous life, but Chen Afu really regards her as his own mother in this life.
Chen Dabao saw that his mother was coquettish with her grandmother softly, and she was proud, so she helped persuade her, "Grandma, don't be angry, you see how lovely my mother is." ā
Chen Dabao's words not only amused Chen Ming and Ah Lu, but even Wang laughed, nodded his head and said, "The most painful person is you." ā
The different sewing baskets and sewing kits that the family thought about making had many expectations for the future, looking forward to the arrival of June 19 soon. Especially Ah Lu, he dreams of healing his legs, so that he can work more in the future, so that he can have a hard fist and protect his family.
After the meal, the rain not only did not stop, but it also became heavier and heavier.
There was no way to go to the county seat to buy medicine today, so Wang still went out in the rain. She was going to Guqiao Village to buy some meat for Chen Ming to come back to replenish her body, and Chen Ming was working hard during this time, so she had to eat better.
Chen Afu diligently went to chop chicken food, and then took Lingyi to the backyard to feed the chickens. Chen Ming continued to weave baskets, and today the weather was getting colder and windy, so he put on a jacket and a hat on his head, and sat in the kitchen to weave.
Ah Lu and Dabao studied in the East House. Since Chen Afu got better, he grabbed a lot of work and stipulated that the two boys must read for an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening.
After Chen Afu finished feeding the chickens, he returned to the East House. There are more than 20 sewing baskets that have been made in the house, and as soon as the sewing baskets are ready, Wang will take them to the east house and put them away, for fear of being seen by people who occasionally come to the house.
The sewing baskets are round and square, large and small, most of them are made of cattail, and a small number are made of fine wicker. The inside of the basket and the edge of the basket were sewn with fine cloth, and the cloth inside the basket was sporadically sewn with tiny flowers and small grasses cut from rags, and two slightly larger flowers made of strings were sewn along the basket.
After reading the sewing basket, she took out two sewing kits from the kang cabinet and looked at them, and her eyebrows were crooked with a smile.
On one side of the rectangular sewing is three lotus flowers made of fine juan and a few lotus leaves. The semi-circular sewing kit is a cartoon dog head made of brocade sewn on one side, two round black eyes, a black nose, and a red tongue sticking out of the smiling mouth, which is very cute.
The other side of both sewing kits is the same, with several daisy buckles woven in cloud satin. The buckle is extremely delicate and is the finishing touch of the sewing kit. Moreover, this kind of buckle is not available in this era.
It was also when Wang was making buckles before that Chen Afu knew that the buckles of this era were still relatively simple, that is, the buckles twisted with cloth strips or winds and the abacus pimples made of cloth.
Chen Afu knew that even in the long history of the previous life, the vigorous development of Pankou also began in the Qing Dynasty. From the one-word buckle to the large-scale flower buckle that imitates animals and plants, and the auspicious buckle coiled into words, it is becoming more and more exquisite and complex. The later buckle is no longer a single button, but also a delicate decoration. Especially in the Republic of China, the buckles on the cheongsam are even more beautiful and varied.
In her previous life, when she was in college, because she liked the buckle, she also wrote a paper on the buckle. For this reason, I also checked a lot of information and looked at a lot of pictures. But she didn't do it, because it was very difficult to make a beautiful buckle, not only to be skillful, but also to spend a lot of effort, more energy than making a set of clothes.
Although Chen Afu doesn't know how to make buckles, she has seen it and will say that there is a clever embroidery girl like Wang at home. Therefore, she has a new idea, not only to make a different sewing kit, but also to let the reform of the Dashun Dynasty start from her home.
Wang is worthy of being a senior embroiderer, not only quickly comprehended the essence of sewing kits and buckles, but also carried forward and kneaded into the aesthetic characteristics of this era. The things made are finely made and have good color matching, which is better than the design of Chen Afu. Chen Afu is very self-aware, he is physically recovered, and the things he makes can't catch up with one-tenth of what Wang's does.
The fabric of the sewing kit is also good, it is made of brocade. When the first delicate sewing kit was born, it sparkled the eyes of the family.
It's just that making this kind of sewing kit is too time-consuming, and only six have been made in more than two months. There is only more than half a month to go until June 19, and at most two can be done.
Chen Afu has already thought about it, the money basket is more popular, and the price will not be set at a high price, but these sewing kits must be sold at a high price. Because it is not only a sewing kit that women can't live without, but also a beautiful luxury, and it is a great change in the buckle.
This time I only made chrysanthemum buckles, and I will do other buckles in the future, so I can make a few more money.
