Chapter Forty-Nine: Silver-Plated Hairpins

Tomorrow is just a face-saving word, after dinner, the old man Jin went back to the house and didn't know what to say to Jin Yun, the next day it was like nothing had happened, and he lived how he should have lived in the past.

It's just that Jin Yun spends more time in the furnace room on weekdays, and she doesn't see anyone from time to time

Old Man Jin runs over there from time to time, and he doesn't know what he's doing.

"Alright." Old Man Jin held a carving knife in one hand and a wooden hairpin in the other.

The hairpin head carves a few plum blossoms, the style is new, but the carving is not very good, it can only be said that it can barely pass the eye, after all, the old man Jin is not an expert, it is great to be able to carve it like this.

Yongxin took it and touched it carefully, making sure that it was smooth and not barbed.

The blacksmith was steaming silver paste on the stove, and he carefully took the wooden hairpin and burned it evenly in the silver paste, and then set it aside to cool.

Jin Yun also stood aside and watched, this was the method she discussed with Old Man Jin.

Originally, she planned to make a sterling silver hairpin, but she didn't want to be denied by Mr. Jin, so she changed to silver plating.

The sterling silver cost too much, and the old man Jin did not dare to take too much risk.

But there is a trace of affirmation in his heart, not to mention it at night, when he sees it during the day, Old Man Jin pours a sigh of relief, and the luster and brightness also attract his attention, but in the same way, he is the same as Yongxin, he just admires the effect of its formula.

It wasn't until the youngest daughter said that they understood that they could also make a fortune with this formula.

After the silver-plated plum hairpin is cooled, it is not excellent to hold in the hand, and there are many common ones on the market.

Even Yongxin didn't know if he was nervous, the silver plating was not very smooth, and if you looked closely, there were even some small bubbling in some small places. His face flushed, and he said to his grandfather, "Grandfather, it's time to apply the formula." ”

Old Man Jin took it and looked at it, nodded, carefully applied the formula, and said casually: "Your craft should be practiced more." ”

Yongxin's ears were red, and he said abruptly: "Yes, grandfather." ”

Time passed slowly, and the three of them did not leave the courtyard of the furnace room, they were all waiting.

Two hours, for the old man Jin who often works in the fields, the two hours passed quickly, but now, he looked at the sky from time to time, and always felt that the position of the sun had not changed.

He has nothing to do now, so he picks up a few dried bamboos and weaves them into a bamboo basket, so that time can pass faster.

Yongxin walked back and forth beside him, rubbing his hands together, and he muttered, "It must be done, it can be done." ”

Today's sun is not as hot as before, radiating soft optical fibers, shining warmly on her body, she closed her eyes comfortably, and did not feel that time was difficult.

Yongxin walked back and forth for I don't know how many times, and finally when the time came, he took the lead and ran into the furnace room.

A basin of water had already been placed in the furnace room, and he carefully picked up the silver-plated plum hairpin and put it in the basin, and cleaned the thick material on it.

Before he took it out, Yongxin had a surprise in his heart, and the plum hairpin in the basin was bright and shining, and it couldn't hide its dazzle in the water.

"Grandfather, sister-in-law, come and see." Yongxin shouted, not to mention others, even when he saw this hairpin, he couldn't help but want to take possession.

Old Man Jin took it and shouted three times in a row: "Okay, good." ”

An old face had a bright light, and urged: "Yongxin, hurry up, do a few more." ”

The wood carving is not difficult, it is all peach wood cut on the mountain, and it can be obtained with some labor, but the silver plating on it, the old man Jin does not dare to be careless.

Seeing that the effect of the silver-plated plum hairpin is extraordinary, there is still hesitation in my heart, and I can't wait to make some immediately.

"Well, I'll do it." Yongxin is also full of energy, and he will make a fire in the blacksmith furnace and prepare to steam the silver paste.

After the time of the two, the old man Jin and a few people made seven silver-plated hairpins, and he put them on the table, which attracted the praise of everyone in the Jin family.

"Boss, this is a silver hairpin?" Jin Jiang gently stroked it with his hand and did not pick it up.

At such an age, when I just got married, I still have a silver hairpin on my head, a thin one, but it weighs one or two. But then life was not good, and he couldn't bear to be lost, and since then, Jin Jiang has only seen it on other people's heads.

How can a woman not like jewelry in her life, but there are no conditions. Now there are a few pieces on the table, but Jin Jiang is a little timid, and he doesn't even dare to pick them up, for fear of breaking them.

"It's silver, but it's not sterling silver, it's silver-plated." Old Man Jin hooked the corners of his mouth and nodded.

Lu Shi didn't care so much, she picked one up and immediately put it on her head to gesture, and asked, "The child is his father, is it good-looking?" ”

"Good, good-looking." Jin Qiwen glanced at it and immediately said goodbye.

"Alright, take it off." Jin Jiang glared at her, stretched out his hand and wanted to grab it, but he was afraid that he would break it if he was too strong.

Jin Jiang was not annoyed, and his smile was bright: "Mother, I just try, and I won't wear it all the time." ”

"Besides, I've been married for so long, and I haven't touched a silver hairpin." Lu Shi muttered again, and Jin Qiwen next to him happened to hear it, and he took his daughter-in-law's hand apologetically and patted it lightly.

Lu Shi glared at him with disgust, but the hand that was pulled over did not take it back.

"It looks better than what is sold in the town, it's quite eye-catching." Shu Shi rarely said the last sentence, but there was some bitterness in his heart, even if the hairpin in front of him was dazzling, it was still not as important as the one she had before.

"Yes, Yongxin, you will go to the town tomorrow, go to the shop that sells jewelry, and sell all of this." Old Man Jin gave the task.

Yongxin said yes again and again, "Grandfather, how should this price be opened?" ”

After all, it is silver-plated, and it is still worthless peach wood, and the weight of seven pieces is only one or two silvers.

Old Man Jin thought for a while and said, "You ask first, run a few more, and see how they offer, if you are really not sure, don't sell it first, and discuss it together when you come back." ”

Yongxin agreed, remembering the gold shop in the town in his mind, he had been in the town for so many years, although he didn't have much time to go out, but after all, he still knew something about it.

But after all, it is a small household mentality, and Yongxin's brain recalls that they are all small shops, and as for those regular big merchants, he is a little timid to enter the door.

You know, those things in the store, I'm afraid I can't afford to buy them in a lifetime, where does he have the confidence to step forward.

"Okay, there are a few gold shops I'm familiar with, I'll go there tomorrow morning." Yongxin put away the seven silver-plated hairpins and prepared to take them to the town tomorrow.

The rest of the Jin family is even more hopeful, and a few little guys are even more like you and me, so that Yongxin promised to sell the money to buy them snacks to eat.
