Chapter 81: Ideas
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the wind to blow outside, and it was raining heavily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The trees were blown over their leaves, and the white flowers were facing the sky, beaten mercilessly by the heavy rain.
Not to mention picking up fungus at this time, you can't even get out of the door. Fortunately, Yu Fei and they have almost arrived in the town, but it is raining so hard, I am afraid that the sale of salty and spicy meat will be delayed, let alone buying things.
Li Qin sighed, now it seems that Yu Fei's birthday is still a trivial matter, as long as he can come back earlier.
These days, I have been busy with fungus things, and I have no time to make shoes, but when I have time, Li Qin took out the clothes given by Hu Ding's at the beginning, there is no shoe last, she cut them according to the size and shape of her shoes.
She also has a set of shoes, in her previous life, she first made soles for her master, and later made them for Hu Cuier, and when she returned to Beijing and became a relative, she made them for her husband. Although her husband has never worn what she makes, she still works tirelessly, which makes her more and more proficient.
There is no paste here that sticks to the soles of his shoes, so Li Qin can only sew them by hand. And because the road in the mountains is always rugged, and the soles of the shoes will be awkward if they are thin, so Li Qin also had the luxury of taking a piece of rabbit skin and twisting four soles, but it is smaller than the normal sole, so that a piece of rabbit skin is sandwiched between every two pieces of fabric, and the sole will immediately become thicker.
Li Qin's stitches are very fine, and the sewn around the two pieces of cloth is dense and very strong. And where there is skin in the middle, it is pierced with an awl and sewn with a needle and thread, although it is laborious, but the effect is still good.
When I finished sewing a sole, the rain outside also turned lighter, dripping, like slender white lines.
Just then, Aunt Ge ran into the courtyard wearing a cloak, and Li Qin hurriedly put down the work in her hand and beckoned her in.
"This rain is too heavy!" Aunt Ge said while taking off her clothes, "It hasn't rained for a few days, and it's so heavy all at once! Originally, the rain came and went in a hurry, but I never thought that it would be a little smaller at this time, and there was a posture to go down for a long time! When I just came over, the water in the creek over there rose, alas, I don't know when it will stop!"
When Li Qin heard this, he was even more anxious, "Then aren't they going to delay in the town?"
"It's indispensable. Even if the rain stops now, they won't be able to come back right away. Or when the time comes, don't all the food and clothing on their backs have to be soaked through by the rain that stains the leaves and grass on the trees?"
Li Qin was even more depressed when she heard this, she didn't feel much when the two of them were together, but it had been less than a day since they were separated, and she was worried and scared.
Looking at Li Qin's slightly locked eyebrows, Aunt Ge smiled and said, "What's the matter, I was scared when I slept last night?"
Unexpectedly, Li Qin nodded honestly, "It's a little." I don't dare to sleep at night. ”
Aunt Ge hurriedly smiled, "But I was negligent about this! Seeing that your child does things like an adult every day, I ignore that you are still young! I won't tell you that when I first got married, I was also afraid of your Uncle Ge going out, and I didn't dare to sleep until I had a child. It's been too long, and you'll be scared if you forget it! Or I'll come and sleep with you tonight?"
"Won't Yu Fei come back tonight?"
"How can it be so fast!" Aunt Ge said with a smile, "If it stops in the afternoon, they will have to return tomorrow morning no matter how quickly they are!"
The men are fast-paced, but even then, it will be early afternoon when they get home. It's still going to be a little bit before the rain stops!
Li Qin smiled and shook his head, "No need, auntie, I was a little scared last night, but I can't today!"
Aunt Ge saw that her affection did not seem to be fake, so she was also relieved. Then I saw that Li Qinkang had a lot of things on it, and picked it up casually, so I immediately said in surprise: "Oh Xiaoqin, I didn't expect you to know how to do this! This stitch is much better than mine!"
"I was afraid of my feet, so I put two layers of rabbit skin. ”
"Ouch! I didn't expect that!" Aunt Ge folded the soles of her shoes twice, "Your hands are really clever! Rabbit skins are not worth much, and the soles of your shoes are not blind at all! Ouch, I look at your shoes, they are almost the same as the mille-feuille soles sold in the town!"
"It's far from it!" Li Qin mattered factually, "If you lock the edge, it will look good." ”
"This is good, it's good!" Aunt Ge affirmed, "Xiaoqin, you have always said that you want to make money, you say, if we sell this sole, or make this shoe to sell, what do you say?"
"Selling shoes?" Li Qin hurriedly shook his head, "How slow this work is! I only made such a sole this day in the middle of the afternoon, and this is not locked yet! If I make shoes again, it will take longer! This is still my fast hand, otherwise it will take longer!"
Aunt Ge shook her head disapprovingly, "Then you are wrong, how long does it take them to make mille-feuille bottoms? But what about this? How time-saving is this? And we have leather inside, even if it is rabbit skin, it is also genuine fur, such soles, strong and durable, even if the price is high, someone must buy it! To tell you, my eldest daughter and eldest daughter-in-law are both made a needlework to sell in the cloth village, and shoes are also made." If you can have this, how much more money will you make!"
The more Aunt Ge spoke, the more she felt that it was feasible, and the more excited she became, and when she said that, her face turned red.
"That aunt can let them try it!"
Aunt Ge nodded hurriedly, "I think it's feasible! I'll also learn from you to make a little bit first, and take it out when I go out next month and let them learn to do it, it will definitely sell well when the time comes!"
Li Qin looked at Aunt Ge's expression as if she had discovered a new continent and was also happy, and said that the more familiar the place, the more difficult it is to break through, Li Qin has a deep feeling at this time, just like the last time she talked about the mountain pepper seedling seeds, Aunt Ge doesn't believe it? At this time, when Aunt Ge talked about making shoes, she didn't even think about it, and instinctively denied it. However, if you don't do anything, how can you know that you can't do it? It's normal to hunt a rabbit in the mountains, and you can't sell it for any price when you go out, but if you put it in your shoes, the price is much more expensive.
"But auntie, rabbit skin is relatively not very valuable, if others know about it and also use rabbit skin to make shoes, then wouldn't others also make more money? In the end, we don't just earn a manual fee?" Li Qin asked his own question.
"Silly boy, wouldn't it be nice if we collected all the rabbit skins in the mountains? Even if others beat rabbits outside, the cost is not as cost-effective as ours! Moreover, we have limited hunters in our county, and we are the only hunters in Qingshan Town, not to mention other places, the boundary of this Qingshan Town, won't we be able to earn a lot at that time?"
