Chapter 21: Small Talk
Zhang, who was washing up and preparing to go to the stove room to make breakfast, saw Mei Liu'er who had changed into new clothes, Mei Liu'er turned her back to the light and looked from the front as if she was glowing, Zhang paused and stood there until Mei Liu'er approached.
"Sister-in-law, is you going to have breakfast, I'll help you," Mei Liu'er said to Zhang.
Zhang's return to his senses, "You don't need to be alone, I'll come alone."
"My sister-in-law is still so polite to me, if there is anything I can help my sister-in-law, tell me, don't be polite to me, it will be outside"
Zhang didn't answer Mei Liu'er's question about whether she was a foreigner or not, but instead asked about the embroidered flowers on Mei Liu'er's clothes, "What kind of flowers is this embroidered by Liu'er Lady, it is so beautiful, and what kind of stitch is this, why are the embroidered flowers so vivid?"
Mei Liu'er was a little surprised, her stitch method of embroidering this flower is very ordinary, it is not a famous stitch, that is, everyone knows it, why would Zhang ask like this, "Sister-in-law, haven't you seen this stitch?" ”
"I've never seen such a stitch, this stitch is really amazing, it can embroider the flowers as if they were alive, it's really not simple" Zhang's attention went to the flowers embroidered on Mei Liuer's clothes.
"Haven't you seen such a stitch, what kind of stitch do you use, sister-in-law?" Mei Liu'er asked, she wondered if there was another embroidery method here that was different from the major factions that had been made public in modern times, and Mei Liu'er was a little looking forward to it.
"I don't know what the acupuncture is, and no one knows what the acupuncture is handed down from my ancestors, I'll show it to you later," Zhang replied to Mei Liu'er.
"Okay, sister-in-law will show me later" Although Mei Liu'er really wanted to see the new embroidery method earlier, the most important thing now was to have breakfast.
After breakfast, after Zhang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Mei Liu'er followed Zhang to the hall and waited for Zhang to bring her embroidered embroidery to her.
Zhang went to get embroidery Mei Liu'er sat in the hall, she thought that she was going to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks after breakfast just now, Wang Erlang and Zhang did not agree, looking like they were about to offer her up, Mei Liu'er sighed that it is always inconvenient to live in someone else's house, and she still has to have her own house and her own home.
After a while, Zhang came out with the embroidery, Mei Liu'er took it, and her brows furrowed, no wonder Zhang had such a surprised expression when she first saw the jasmine embroidered on her clothes.
According to their embroidery method, the flowers embroidered can be seen to be flowers at most, if you want to be the same as the real thing, it is impossible!
It turns out that the embroidery method used by Zhang's is really just an embroidery method that is not a stitch method at all, how to describe it, simply put, a flower is embroidered from beginning to end with a needle to the end, without any sense of hierarchy, embroidering small flowers is basically OK, but large flowers are not good.
We all know that even if it is a petal on a flower, it has a clear layer of color, so the most that can be embroidered according to their embroidery method is to see what it is, and then it is over.
Mei Liu'er couldn't figure this out, didn't there even have a simple long and short needle stitch here? Mei Liu'er, who thought so in her heart, asked like this.
After hearing this, Zhang thought about it and replied to Mei Liuer, "No, I have never heard of long and short stitches, nor have I seen it, the embroidery method handed down from my ancestors is the kind I embroidered, and it may also be that there are other big places, we haven't been to big places and don't know it."
Zhang's answer made Mei Liu'er sigh, and she couldn't figure it out even more, there were even bud rice (corn), potatoes, and sweet potatoes here, but how could they not have what they should have.
Mei Liu'er thought about it and said, "Then I'll teach you how to stitch long and short needles, so that your embroidery can also earn a little more private money."
Zhang was very happy, she was not hypocritical, but said very happily: "Then thank you so much for the sixth lady"
Mei Liu'er smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome, anyway, I just know how to use this stitch, and there's nothing to hand it over to you, everyone in the township wants to help each other, isn't it." ”
The two were talking, and Dazhong's daughter-in-law Xiao Yanagi came over with the clothes she had made for Mei Liu'er, and gave the clothes to Mei Liu'er first, and Xiao Yanagi noticed at a glance the jasmine flowers on the clothes Mei Liu'er was wearing, and the small white flowers bloomed vividly on the aqua blue clothes, which was chic and delicate and elegant.
"The little embroidery on the clothes of the Liu'er lady is the same as the real one, I have never seen such an embroidery method" is really worthy of being a person who has been dealing with needlework all year round, and I can see the difference at a glance.
Zhang also said, "Yes, when I first saw it, I also thought it was novel, I have never seen such an embroidery method."
Mei Liu'er said to them, "I'll teach you, this is called long and short needles."
Zhang and Koyanagi were very happy, in addition to being able to sell some more money, it was also a woman's natural love for beautiful things.
The three of them talked together for a long time, and finally decided to wait for Mei Liuer's household registration to be completed, and then go to Mei Liuer's new house to study after the house was built.
Xiaoyanagi went home, and when she went back, Mei Liuer took the leftover fabric she brought back to her, and it was enough to make clothes for Xiaocao Xiaohua sisters, but Xiaoyanagi refused, but she had to take it back.
Zhang's side Mei Liu'er also gave the rest of the fabric to Zhang's to help the Wang family's little brothers and sisters make clothes, and after Xiaoliu's left, Zhang's began to make shoes again, Mei Liu'er decided to go out to see the situation around the village first.
After coming for so many days, going to the county seat and learning needlework at home for a few days, she didn't have time to go out and take a good look at this village where she might have to live for a long time in the future.
Zhang's family was not worried that Mei Liu'er would go out alone, so he called his son Wang Ziming to go with Mei Liu'er, and Xiao Juan'er knew about it and clamored to go, and finally Mei Liu'er took her two children to 'tour' the village.
Mei Liu'er now has time to take a good look at this little wolf village, Wang Erlang's house is in the east of the village, the three of them followed the road from the east end of the village to the west of the village, and returned to the east of the village after winding around the path, and then Mei Liuer went around to the foot of the mountain under the guidance of the two villains, and walked a short distance along the path towards the mountain, and then returned home.
When she went up the mountain, Mei Liu'er held a stick in front of her and beat it in the grass (meaning in the lush grass) on both sides of the road, startling away the snakes, insects, birds and beasts hiding in the grass.
Walking around the village today, Mei Liuer felt that Little Wolf Village was a good place by the mountains and rivers, and there was a small river flowing in front of the village with the back of the big mountain.
There are abundant products in the mountains, there are also abundant fishing products in the small river, surrounded by green mountains, Mei Liuer thinks that if this is in modern times, it will definitely be developed into a tourist attraction, and the popularity is definitely not low, and modern people are now pursuing a return to the basics.
When Mei Liu'er went up the mountain, she looked at the layout of the village in the middle of the mountain, and she also found a good place.
