Chapter 31: Master Carpenter, Please
After finishing the clothes, the eldest aunt and the second aunt began to be busy with the yarn that the second girl wanted.
When it was time to really spin the yarn, the eldest aunt knew how difficult it was to spin the yarn that Erya wanted.
It can't be pulled and broken, and it can't be too tight, or it won't be elastic. After the first few days of tossing, I finally spun the special yarn that Erya wanted.
Erya used the bamboo needles she sharpened to combine the three strands of yarn into one strand, and first made yarn pants for Xiaolong. Because it is small and fast, it can not only let the second aunt and the eldest aunt see the effect, but also let them learn some essentials of yarn pants.
The hardest part of knitting pants is in the crotch. Beginners generally leave it blank, then beat it again, and sew it with a needle and thread. There are also good craftsmanship, all in one go.
In order to make the eldest aunt and second aunt, the second girl left it blank, and sewed it on the crotch of the pants.
The eldest aunt is still busy spinning and doesn't have much time to learn, so she can't help but be a little discouraged if she doesn't learn as fast as the second aunt. Erya had no choice but to withdraw her hand again and teach her alone.
The second aunt first knitted a pair of pants for Anzi as a practice. I can get started, so I will knit for my mother first, and then knit for my child's father. Addicted to the point that he didn't even eat, he only cared about weaving yarn and clothes.
Er Yake was scared, maybe the people here don't know, but as a later generation, they know that there are many sick people who are crazy about something. Fortunately, the second aunt can still throw away her hands and do other things when there is a shortage of yarn.
Doing New Year's baba is basically a physical work, so the women in the family don't touch their hands. Even Erya unconsciously ate the 'sugar fried rice cake', but she didn't react - the rice cake was ready.
When eating at the dinner table, it's basically a time for a big family to talk about things. While drinking porridge, the uncle asked Erya: "Little tiger daughter-in-law, didn't you say that the yellow wolf will be divided in the spring!" So do you want to give them a nest first? ”
"Yes! Are there so many stones? It is better to build five or six around the den, the yellow wolf reproduces quickly, and it will not be long before five or six will be enough. ”
The eldest aunt shouted in panic: "Oops! I almost forgot that I had to hatch those mountain eggs! ”
The second uncle said in a muffled voice: "Busy, okay!" When I was a child, I was busy with my father, and there was no end to my busyness. and the heart is irritated and angry. I haven't been busy in the past few years, so I know how happy and happy this busy person is. ”
Uncle Le followed his younger brother's words and said: "That is, only when you are busy can you have income, and only when you are busy can you have a rush, and I feel that the busier I am, the easier I feel." ”
The eldest aunt also smiled and said, "Yes! Oh, yes! I feel like I'm young now. ”
The second aunt teased her sister-in-law: "Roar! My sister-in-law may become a big girl after a while. ”
A few children listened to the jokes of the adults, chirping and laughing.
Xiaolong didn't care what the adults said, he just stared at the sugar fried poop, "Sister-in-law, I still want that sugar poop!" ”
Erya had already seen that Xiaolong had eaten at least three pieces, where would he ask for it, "You can't eat anymore, you are still young, your health is not good, and you can't digest it if you eat too much." By then, my stomach should hurt again. ”
Xiaolong pouted, and wanted to cry. Erya will not compromise because he cries, "Obedient! My sister-in-law has already found someone to help buy you goats, and when the time comes, I will give you goat milk. After taking care of your body, you can eat more of this sugar poop. Good no good! ”
Anzi heard it on the side, and hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, can I also drink goat's milk?" ”
"Yes! Everyone can drink, and if there is more of it, we adults and children will have a drink. "Er Ya sighed again in her heart, 'I'm afraid it's not much!' These brothers all need to be supplemented, probably when they are growing up, the family suddenly suffers difficulties, and they don't have a good nutrition, so they are all as thin as horse monkeys.
Erya thought that if he bought a goat, he could make a car for Xiaolong and let the goat pull him to play.
Thinking of this, I remembered that it seems that the second uncle and aunt have not asked a carpenter to give the red leaves a woodcutter dowry!
The second girl asked the second aunt with questions: "Huh! Second aunt, why haven't you invited a carpenter to come to the house and make furniture for the red leaves? ”
The second aunt was cold for a while before replying: "Originally, I planned to re-polish my dowry cabinet, brush it, paint it, paint it, and make it for her." But this girl disagreed, saying that she would rather not bring a dowry than my old cabinet. I thought, if I can't do it, I'll go to the county town and buy ready-made. ”
"That's it! Second aunt, if you don't go and ask the carpenter to come back today, I will design a set of furniture, which will definitely make Hongye come to her mother-in-law's house decently. Er Ya thought about the furniture of later generations, although it was not as exquisite and imposing as the ancient furniture. But it's simple, generous, practical, and most importantly, it's quick to make.
In the countryside, the aristocracy who are not very particular should be able to take it out.
The uncle said with some embarrassment next to him: "It's just that there is no ready-made wood at home." If you go to the mountains to cut down trees, you can't use it! ”
The second uncle pondered for a while and said: "It's not difficult to do wood, you can buy it from anyone's house and borrow it, but it's just painted now, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”
Er Ya hurriedly said: "This is no problem, I designed a combination cabinet, and when the time comes, I will paint one after another." And this furniture I designed is very simple and easy to play. No carving, no drawing. It's easy and quick to fight. ”
When the second aunt heard her say this, she hesitated a little again: "How shabby is that!?" ”
Erya is confident in this, "Second aunt, don't worry, if you can't look at it, I will keep it for myself, and then you will go to the county seat to buy the finished product." Good no good? ”
The second uncle knocked on the edge of the bowl, "it!" Just listen to the arrangement of my nephew and daughter-in-law, no matter what, it is better than nothing at the beginning. ”
"Hey!"
After breakfast, the uncle went to Hongxia Zhuangzi to find the carpenter who was said to be very skilled, and the second uncle went to find someone who had ready-made wood.
The uncle hasn't come back yet, and the second uncle has come back with a big log, followed by several men carrying wood.
Er Ya didn't know what kind of wood it was, "These are all wood from trees!" ”
A man replied: "There are camphor wood, beech wood, pressed wood, and birch wood, all of which are good wood for furniture!" My father carried them back from the mountains when he was young. ”
The second uncle also said: "His wood is good! After soaking in the water for a long time, this has been left for several years and has not cracked. ”
"Oh!"
Er Ya doesn't understand these anyway, since the second uncle said it's good, then it's good!
It wasn't until the afternoon that the uncle returned with a carpenter.
When the uncle got home, he pulled his younger brother aside and apologized: "Second brother! I'm really sorry, that Lao Li has too much work and can't be busy, so I didn't invite you. Temporarily found Master Zhao, although Master Zhao is not as good as Lao Li's carving, but other aspects are still very good. ”
"Big brother, look at you, you have worked so hard to help me find a master, can I blame you?!"
"Good! Now go and get Xiaohu's daughter-in-law back, and let her tell Master Zhao what kind of furniture she wants to make! The uncle saw that his brother didn't blame himself, so he thought about starting the construction quickly.
"My niece and daughter-in-law are still at home just now, and they may have gone to the backyard to work on the livestock. I'll call! ”
Erya was called over by the second uncle, so she asked Hongguo to go to her house to find Xiaohu to get a pen and paper for her.
Master Zhao watched Erya draw and explain, and felt that it was indeed very simple. And the style is also very generous, not shabby at all.
"Master, you see, it's that simple. If you can do it quickly and well, your wages will not be less, and we will only calculate wages according to things, not days. ”
"Little lady of the Wang family, what you said is indeed easy to fight. If the wood is all ready, I will polish both sides, and I will be ready in a few days. I'm going to go back and bring my two apprentices here, and ask them to help you make the wood (that is, the logs are sawed into planks), and I will be able to help you make them before the Chinese New Year. Honestly, if it weren't for a few more drawers here, I would have made it in seven or eight days! ”
Erya pouted, "Cut!" People who use composite panels can make several sets a day! ”
The eldest uncle and the second uncle were very happy, "Is it really so fast?" You have to be serious, not sloppy. ”
"If it's so fast, I'll go to the master lacquerer?"
Master Zhao nodded: "Go find it!" It's also good to say hello in advance, so as not to find it when you are in a hurry! ”
