"Well, the first time I did it, the effect turned out to be pretty good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Hibiscus looked at the broom in his hand, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Are you making a broomstick? I can't imagine that these inconspicuous things can be used so much to make such practical things. Xiao Muchen looked at the broom in Mu Hibiscus's hand in amazement, and found that the ground swept with this broom was as clean as the broom he bought.

"Well, that's good." Hibiscus said proudly, holding his head high.

Xiao Muchen took the broom in Mu Hibiscus's hand and tried it, and found that this kind of broom was very light, and it was more labor-saving than the previous broom, but the service life of the broom of this dead shrub was not very long, so he tried to sweep most of the yard, and some small branches of the dead bush had fallen from the broom.

"Well, it's just that the dead bush part won't last long, and it's okay, it's all over the place anyway." Xiao Muchen carefully looked at the various parts of the broom, and finally nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Well, let's make this gourd next, let's make a few cups and kettles from this gourd." Mu Hibiscus took the back basket, put it between the two and took out a gourd, and bent his eyebrows at Xiao Muchen's smile.

"Hmm." Xiao Muchen looked at the cute hibiscus, and his sister control attribute exploded, and he couldn't help but rub his hand on the head of the hibiscus, and said, "You say how to do it, I will do what you want, and you can guide it by the side." ”

Mu Hibiscus straightened out the green silk with black lines on his face, and said helplessly, "Brother, can you not touch my hair." Then he shoved the gourd into his hand, then turned and sat down on the small stool and turned his head towards him angrily.

Xiao Muchen looked at his fried sister, and hurriedly ran over and coaxed, "Am I wrong?" Tell me what this gourd is, and we'll show it to our parents when we're ready, so that they can be happy. ”

Mu Hibiscus turned his head sideways, glanced at Xiao Muchen next to him with the corner of his eye, coughed lightly like a clear throat, turned around and said with a straight face, "You first divide the gourd into two halves with a knife from the middle upward, and then divide the upper part into concentric circles thick with thumbs." ”

Xiao Muchen disposed of most of the small gourds in the back basket according to what Mu Hibiscus said, leaving a few bowls of large gourds to lie quietly in the back basket.

Hibiscus dug up a large half pot of yellow mud from the small ditch next to the house, and then pulled a large handful of dead grass from the side of the house and cut it into an inch long with a knife, Mu Hibiscus poured the cut dead grass into the basin containing the yellow mud, stirring the yellow mud vigorously, Xiao Muchen saw that the hibiscus was stirring hard, and walked over and grabbed the wooden stick to help her stir it up.

"Hey, that's enough." Mu Hibiscus saw that the withered grass and yellow mud had been stirred very evenly, and they were already closely connected to each other, so he asked Xiao Muchen to stop stirring, moved the wooden basin to the side of the processed gourd, and said to Xiao Muchen, "You see how I do it, I'll only demonstrate it once." ”

As he spoke, Hibiscus put the gourd ring on the ground under the flat eaves, put a small lump of yellow mud into the gourd ring, scraped the yellow mud flat and filled the entire gourd ring, and then slowly put the lower half of the gourd in the shape of a cup into the gourd ring.

"Okay, just do it, remember that the ground must be flat, the yellow mud must also be scraped flat, and the entire gourd ring must be filled." Mu Hibiscus got up to make way for Xiao Muchen, squatting next to him and watching him do his work and guide his movements.

Seeing that Xiao Muchen had almost learned, Mu Hibiscus also rolled up his sleeves and started working together, just like that, the two were busy for most of the hour, putting all the gourd cups into the gourd ring filled with yellow clay.

"Jin'er, what about the remaining gourd rings." Xiao Muchen saw that there were still some gourd rings left, so he asked Mu Hibiscus.

"Let's put it there, maybe it will be useful in the future, let's go into the house, wait for these things to dry here." Hibiscus glanced at the remaining gourd rings and thought about it and said.

"Well, is it okay to leave them here?" Xiao Muchen asked uneasily.

"It's okay, I deliberately put it under the eaves just now to prevent it from raining tonight." Mu Hibiscus pushed Xiao Muchen into the house, and after the two washed up, they went to the room of Xiao Chengren and his wife.

"Jin'er, it's almost time to go to bed, what are you two brothers and sisters doing outside, it's not cold to sit on the vent with so few clothes on such a cold day." Mother Xiao saw the brother and sister with cold noses entering the room, and hurriedly shouted to the brother and sister in distress.

Hibiscus muttered in her heart, sure enough, this world is different from the earth, in the past in this season of the earth, there were still young mm wearing shorts to walk around the street at night, and now in this world, if you don't add a thick dress in the morning and evening, you can't freeze out of the door, it's really not used to it.

"Mother, my brother and I are using gourds to make cups, and we can use gourd cups when the yellow mud dries the day after tomorrow." Mu Hibiscus held her head high and looked at Xiao Mu proudly and said.

Xiao's mother looked at her cute daughter and said with a smile, "Okay, Jin'er is really capable, go to sleep, you have to go shopping on the street tomorrow, some of you are busy." ”

Hearing this, Mu Hibiscus walked to Xiao Mu's left side and lay down, pretending to close her eyes obediently, but the constantly rolling eyes under her eyelids betrayed the fact that she was not sleeping.

Father Xiao said, "Okay, let's go to sleep." Hearing this, Xiao Muchen walked to the right side of Xiao's father and lay down, and the family of four was huddled on a bed covered with a quilt, and soon fell asleep.

Time passed imperceptibly in people's dreams, and early the next morning, the four of Mu Hibiscus and his family walked to the village gate and took the ox cart of Aqing's sister-in-law's family who was waiting there and entered the town.

All the way, Mu Hibiscus, who had not yet woken up, greeted Xiao Muchen, and called him to call her, so he met Zhou Gong again in a short casual chat between Xiao's mother and A Qing's sister-in-law's parents, and when Xiao Mucheng woke her up, it was already dawn, and after passing the customs inspection on the city gate according to the custom, the family of four said goodbye to A Qing's family and walked to the east.

The four of them walked for half an hour and came to the street dedicated to selling furniture, Mu Hibiscus followed Xiao Chengren outside the shop and pretended to wander through the street, and then picked a few furniture shops that looked outside and felt that the things inside were not bad, and shopped around for three people to ask one by one.

"Shopkeeper, can't the price of this bed be less?" Xiao Chengren frowned and stood in an inconspicuous furniture shop in the corner, pointing to an ordinary wooden bed and paying the price to the boss.

"Hey, this master, this is already the cost price, and I will have to do a loss-making business in the future...... "The boss also cried bitterly about his difficulty, and asked Xiao Chengren not to bargain.

Xiao Chengren's brows furrowed even tighter, and he thought in his heart, "If you buy this bed, the money to buy other furniture will not be enough, this is already the last one, and the price asked earlier is only a lot more, how can this be good." Thinking of this, Xiao Chengren was worried about using his left hand to clench his fist and hammer the palm of his right hand.

Xiao Muchen saw that Xiao Chengren was so anxious, and felt guilty that he couldn't share the burden for this family, and couldn't bear to see Xiao's father so embarrassed, so he said, "Dad, why don't we take a look at it again, it's really not good, let's go to the mountains to cut down a few trees, first make a simple bed for ourselves and fall asleep, and then buy it when we have extra money in the future." ”

Xiao Chengren glanced at Xiao Muchen complicatedly, took a deep breath and said, "Shopkeeper, if we buy more things from you, can you give us less?" ”

The shopkeeper frowned and thought about it, glanced at the four of them, and said, "That's it, I think it's not easy for you, just split up, who doesn't have a difficult time, I'll do a good deed that day, you pick it, I will give you a nine-percent discount if you like it, you can take care of my business more in the future, just introduce me to more customers." ”

"Then thank you shopkeeper, I will definitely introduce you to more customers, Jin'er, Chen'er, go and pick what is missing in your room." Xiao Chengren thanked the shopkeeper for his formal salute, and then turned to shout at the hibiscus brother and sister.

The hibiscus brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and Xiao Muchen said, "You pick first, what can I use in a man's room, or buy what you want first, and then choose mine." ”

Mu Hibiscus opened his mouth, but he couldn't say it, Mu Hibiscus looked at Xiao Muchen deeply, turned around and walked into the shop, Xiao Muchen followed closely, only to hear Mu Hibiscus say like a stalk, "Hmm." ”

The brother and sister walked and stopped all the way, at first Mu Hibiscus was still a little immersed in the emotion of moving, and some awkward interest was lacking, and later, shopping was probably due to the nature of women, and began to devote themselves to the fun of shopping, chattering with Xiao Muchen about the usefulness and quality of things.

After more than half an hour, Hibiscus chose a basin stand that was missing in his room, a wooden cabinet for shoes next to the bed, a box for things, a cabinet for hanging clothes, and so on. After the shopkeeper had settled the price of these things, he instructed the servant to carry the furniture to the car in the backyard, and prepare the hibiscus so that they could deliver the furniture to their homes when they left the city.

After Mu Hibiscus finished selecting the furniture, he accompanied Xiao Muchen to choose a few small furniture like cabinets, and after the two of them finished selecting the furniture in their respective rooms, they helped Xiao's mother choose one or two pieces of furniture that were missing in their room, and after all the small furniture was selected, Xiao Chengren looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, you see that we have selected these small furniture from you, so can you give us a little more about this bed." ”

The shopkeeper calculated the price of the furniture selected by the four people, looked at the abacus on the abacus, and the shopkeeper said, "That's it, since you have bought so many things from me, I will give you a discount for this bed, and I will not make your money, the original price of this bed is fifteen taels, and the discount price for you is seven taels and five, and I will charge you seven taels of silver." ”
