Chapter 124 Lacquer Dyeing
It was already noon, the big dark red sun hung in the middle of the sky, and the snow white in the col was quiet and windless, just dry and cold, warmly sunburned on the skin, and there was an illusion that it was going to spring.
The little orchid drank the broken dumplings mixed with rice porridge early, and is now taking a nap on the warm kang head, holding the 'pumpkin' fragrantly.
Pei Yao wanted to heat a hot meal, but was stopped by her godmother, she said: "Xiao Yao, the dumplings are all hot just now, the porridge in the morning has not been drunk, whoever is hungry can eat something, don't make other dishes, now stay at home and don't move, not hungry at all." ”
In fact, Pei Yao wasn't very hungry, but when the time came, not eating was like something less, and when she heard her mother say this, she threw away her hand and didn't bother to light the fire again, and checked out a few dumplings from the pot and drank half a bowl of porridge.
Look at the needlework in Vanilla and Wu Man's hands, busy making dolls without raising their heads, and from time to time they also look at the patterns drawn by Pei Yao, for fear of making mistakes, especially embroidering eyes and mouths for dolls, etc., it will delay time, otherwise it is very fast to be all square pillows.
Pei Yao picked up a big peony flower pillow made by her godmother, and in the upper right corner of the bulging pillow, there is a striking five-pointed star logo, just like the trademark of modern dolls that can hang tags. Try to sit on the rattan chair as a cushion for a while, and then put it on the back of the chair and lean on the waist, which is very comfortable.
The godmother asked her: "Why is your trademark sewn separately on the outside, and it doesn't look good to flatten and sew it on the corner of this pillow?" ”
Pei Yao didn't answer, picked up a finished trademark from the side and compared it to the pillow, and asked the godmother: "Mother, do you think it's more obvious to swing it like this or sew it on the side?" ”
"Yo, don't really say it, but the sewing is more obvious on the outside, so that people can see the logo of our house from afar, this comparison can see that it's good, yes, or Xiao Yao is smart!" The godmother is really special at first glance, and her pillow is more atmospheric, which is better than any pillow!
Seeing that her mother doesn't question this, she also has questions to ask her mother.
Pei Yao gestured on the pillow and said, "Mother, how long do you say it will take to embroider such a big blessing character?" “
The godmother thought for a while and said: "Monochrome or colored embroidery is almost the same for an hour, and it can be faster if you are familiar with it." “
"Oh, then you can make five ordinary pillows in the time of one embroidered pillow, or three or four KT cat pillows, then the wages of this kind of blessing will be slightly more expensive." Pei Yao said.
Knowing that Pei Yao wanted to calculate how much it would cost to do this handiwork, Vanilla didn't raise his head and said: "This is much better than embroidered handkerchiefs, we embroider an embroidered handkerchief is more beautiful and better three or four Wen, almost only two Wen, can embroider ten without doing anything a day, and also cut off half of the embroidery thread and silk handkerchief cost, so those who can earn twenty Wen a day are all good hands." “
Then a simple pillow is easier to do, the trademark is made in advance, just sew a pillow skin and stuff cotton, according to the silk handkerchief, you can give a penny.
After all, all the costs are your own, so you can earn more than ten or twenty yuan a day just by making ordinary pillows.
And if the embroidered pillow is six or seven a day, one an hour, then a five-question money is more than 30 a day, do more.
Cartoon pillow embroidery work is less, then four texts. Although animal pumpkin dolls do not test embroidery skills, they also need to be carefully sewn, which requires experience and time, so it is only one of the five texts.
looks at the small amount of money, but if you start hiring workers, this money will earn more than a man doing long-term work, and this cloth Pei Yao feels that it is mainly used as a gift, and the cost of wages has to be paid by herself.
However, if you buy less, you will give it away, and if you buy more, you will give it away, and try to let the wool come out of the sheep.
Or if it sells at that time, you can give a bonus or something, how motivating it is!
Well, that's it.
Pei Yao took a carbon branch, wrote down all the calculated things on a piece of cotton cloth first, and then bought a pen and paper to copy it down, and then washed the cloth again.
It is very rare for a few godmothers to see her writing, after all, there are many men who can't read in this era, and women can only learn simple words if they have a large family or a person who has taken the exam at home.
In fact, Pei Yao wants to know what they think, hehe, she doesn't know a few ancient words, this word is seen by the godfather, and he has to say what kind of ghost she is drawing!
Fortunately, I just remembered it for myself, I'm afraid that I will forget it when I am busy, and today is a busy spring!
I tried the temperature of the paint, and it was already cool, and it was cool in winter. Scoop a spoonful with a bamboo spoon, raise it and pour it out, you can see that the cooked tung paint is as translucent as thick vegetable oil, according to the experience of the previous life, it is considered a good product! After all, it is not adulterated and it is all natural.
By the way, scoop out a thick bamboo bowl and set it aside for later use.
Pei Yao took out the finished suitcase, found another piece of satin head, and smeared it on the inside of the suitcase with paint, and soon a small piece of shiny box wall appeared.
The reason why you don't use cotton cloth is because you are afraid of losing hair, and it is much easier to use bright and hairless satin.
As she carefully wiped it, the white rattan absorbed the paint, and slowly became taller, with a slight orange varnish on the white background, and the box after painting actually showed a silver luster!
Finally, the drying procedure remains.
Several people in the family watched from the side of her, and saw that the difference between the rattan box painted and unpainted was too great, and they all inhaled and admired, so beautiful!
Wu Shu exclaimed and said, "Sister Yao, you can do more, I want to see what the orange, purple and black boxes look like after being painted, are they all so eye-catching!" “
Pei Yao nodded and said: "I only have perilla that I can dye purple now, and I am not afraid of fading after this box is painted, but if you want to dye other colors, you can either go to the dyeing workshop now to buy it, or wait for the spring next year when the plants grow and you will dig the grass and dye it yourself." ”
Wu Shu said anxiously: "Go buy some and come back to dye first, and then dig when the grass grows, won't it be out of stock, after all, the Spring School will open, make up some more, and you can sell a large number of them in the county, and when it spreads out after a while, you may come from other places to buy it." ”
The godmother also said: "Yes, this craft is serious and good, and it is much more valuable than this puppet that is easy to imitate, so it is better to do more and have more styles." “
"Okay, now the heavy snow is closing the road, it's not easy to walk, wait for the snow to melt in a few days, and then go out to buy materials, I'll make more rattan art at home." Now there are still few finished products at home, and I have to make at least one or two flips of each type to put samples on, and I have to make rattan beds, which is really busy! Pei Yao sighed.
"Come on, Wu Shu, my sister will teach you to paint the rattan art."
Dragging a small rattan chair, Pei Yao began to teach... (To be continued.) )
