Chapter 353: Minivan (2)

Said that he didn't care about the chief manager, after listening to the exaggerated and rendered report of Na Hong, he couldn't sit still, Na Hong told him, the car driven by Tian Guard's car has four very thick round wheels, no horse-pulling, no whip to rush, can suddenly go forward, there is a place to sit in front, and the back is a not too big carriage, walking is particularly smooth, faster than a carriage jogging when fast.

The curiosity of the chief steward was aroused at once, what kind of car does not need to be driven by horses? Could it be that this Tian Liang has really learned some real skills? If you don't keep such a big ability, you will teach it to others, and you will really please the prince, and when the prince hates you, he will kick it away, and he will end up like himself now, stupid or not?

When Tian Liang taught the three King Kong adults to drive a minivan, none of them were naughty and didn't listen to the shouts, Tian Liang was a strict person, for fear that they would have any accidents, so he asked the prince to tell them again that Cheng Po was very strict, and told them what accidents would occur and what the consequences were. They can not believe Tian Liang's words, but they dare not believe the words of the prince.

With a minivan, it's much easier to pull fabric pockets from the backyard to the frontyard. The original flatbed tricycle was specially used for girls and grandmothers to pick up fallen flowers. The minivan can hold dozens of bags of small Lieb heads, and there are ten such vans in total.

The eldest sister is not allowed to buy large vehicles, one is to consider that there is no highway in the Qing Dynasty, if a large truck is full of a car, it is likely to sink the wheels into it somewhere, so it will be troublesome, and it can't be pushed out, so I bought ten electric four-wheeled trucks, and it will be much more convenient to deliver goods to the shops opened in the house in the future, and the four wheels are more stable than the tricycles.

Wang Ye bought four-wheeled electric trucks, all of which have a cargo capacity of two tons, and their actions are also flexible and convenient.

Let Mang Ge** and Nalan learn to drive an electric four-wheeler because they think that Tian Liang will be very busy in the future, anyway, the driving of this electric four-wheeled vehicle is not very complicated, so let these three personal guards learn to drive.

The use of electric four-wheeled wheels has finally been a smooth transition from everyone's amazement to accustomedness. But the delivery from the house to the Nalan department store is a bit shocking, at the door of the department store, about hundreds of people gathered near the car to watch, and there are many discussions:

"This car is weird, no horses, no oxen, there is only one person in front, I don't know how to make it and leave, the back compartment can hold a lot of things, it doesn't look tired at all.

Tian Liang honked the horn a few times, which frightened everyone to retreat, and Tian Liang took this opportunity to drive away.

Since then, electric four-wheeled trucks have entered the ranks of the means of transportation for business, and Fujin often takes the electric trucks driven by Mang Ge or ** to go around the garden. The four-wheeled trucks in the garden are still very wealthy, and sometimes the girls and grandmothers who pick up flowers in the garden are brought back in batches. Almost all of them have taken this kind of car, and the prince is very considerate of everyone's curiosity, so he asked Tian Liang to take a foot by the way when he is free.

Yun'er trained Mama Xi to make cloth art in full swing, and she sent the sachets and purse samples in her hands to each of the seven Mama Jiaoxi, and they used Xiaoli cloth heads and ancillary materials to make samples of the Qing Dynasty. Because the materials on hand are not exactly the same as the samples bought, some have samples but no fabrics, and some have fabrics but no samples. So I asked Yu Er Shui Er and a few second-class maids to select some colors and materials that were relatively similar, and used them as samples for the teaching and learning grandmothers, and then used them for teaching. Teaching the grandmothers to make samples is almost without raising their heads,

Yu'er is even busier, in addition to making samples, he also has to take care of serving Yun'er. Yun'er reads, paints, drinks tea, and goes home to deliver milk as much as possible without disturbing them, and the odd things of running errands are the responsibility of the three maids, Lan'er Hui'er and Jing'er. The four third-class maids were also assigned a task by Yun'er: to help Yu'er Shui'er select the materials for everyone's work and configure them in sets, so that those who learn can use them when they come, without delaying time. And cut the fabric according to the sample size, otherwise it will be sent directly to the fabric, if the cut out of the living material is uneven, the effect will not be very good.

Originally, I thought that every sachet had to be taught to be made again, but it turned out that the teaching grandmothers were super smart and would do it as long as they looked at the sample. The sample made is better than the one bought, and the technique is becoming more and more proficient, but sometimes I don't know how to use those accessory materials in the exotic land, and Yun'er understands it with a little click. In fact, Yun'er is also like this in the foreign land, not every sample is done once, time does not allow.

The people who participated in the processing of this batch of sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival were paid, although the number of processed was not very much, only 8,000 sachets, and other commodities were ready-made and did not need to be processed, such as paper gourds, small brooms, and colorful threads. Anyone involved in the processing is paid. At first, the girls and grandmothers in the front and back houses did the work, but then they were too busy to participate, so that the remuneration would not be the same. The most money is two hanging coins, which is equivalent to two taels of silver.

But these girls are so happy: the whole family can't afford to buy a month's worth of food. At that time, the price of goods in the Qing Dynasty was two cents to buy a liter of rice. One liter is less than two catties, and about one and a half catties, which means that one penny can buy nearly 700 liters of rice.

In fact, the processing tasks given to them by Yun'er are not enough for them to do, and they get a processing fee of half a month, and the harvest is still quite large. Of course, if there is embroidery on it, it can't be completed, but one-third of the processing content that Yun'er gave them is a sachet that is so simple and easy to make as if it were a siu mai bag, and it is finished as if it were playing. At first, I was very nervous, afraid that I would not be able to finish it, and I was almost halfway through five days of doing it.

In the future, if you take a bigger step and have the help of a sewing machine, the efficiency of the work will definitely be much higher.

Yun'er finally has some spare time to read painting theory books and practice basic skills. Teach the new skills to Mama Xi, and she doesn't have to worry about anything else, counting Ling Juan, a total of eight Mama Jiaoxi, each with its own area in charge. Now that the Dragon Boat Festival has passed, there are not so many people who buy sachets, and the eyes of customers are on daily necessities, and the eyes of old girls have moved to the handbags. Handbags are much more useful than purses, at least they can hold more things, not only for silver and food, but also for books, clothes, and cosmetics.

Yun'er didn't buy a lot of handbag samples, but Xiaoli printed a lot of handbag pictures, which can be imitated. But Yun'er wanted to wait for the sewing machines to be installed, and then find the non-woven fabric and start processing.

Judging from the TV series, handbags have been available since the Republic of China, but they are only used by rich and powerful official wives, young ladies from large families, and young grandmothers. Even the great writer Mr. Lu Xun also used a wrapper to wrap books in the university when he gave lectures. Those who go out of the house carry their burdens on their shoulders in long strips, and women carry them on their arms. It is estimated that there is only a change of clothes inside, as well as dry food for the road, and there will be nothing too valuable. Yun'er thinks that it is too general to call a handbag, a smaller bag is called a handbag, and a large bag should be called a handbag. It's still just the preparation stage, so let's find some materials suitable for making bags every day, and design the style of handbags and bags suitable for women of all walks of life and ages in the Qing Dynasty. The rest of the time is spent practicing the basics of drawing.

Yun'er saw a variety of freehand paintings in a foreign land, and her interest suddenly shifted from gongbi painting to freehand painting. Although they are all painting flowers and birds, Yun'er's character is really suitable for freehand painting. It's not that freehand is simpler than gongbi, it's more suitable for Yun'er, in fact, it's not easy to work both and freehand.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty painting world was not so prosperous, and there were only a few famous painters. Their painting level cannot be compared with that of painters with foreign traditional painting methods, after all, there is a difference of more than 200 years in time and space. Moreover, the exotic computer, television, and publishing industries have exploded the speed at which various cultures have spread. Various art academies, various painting theories, as well as CDs and videos that teach painting skills, have increased the speed of the dissemination of painting skills by an unknown number of times. In particular, those professional painting theories, including Western painting theories and forms, are incomparable to those of the Qing Dynasty. Yun'er brought back a lot of books on painting theories, techniques, and references for works, plus her previous solid basic skills, her transcendent understanding of painting, and the ability given by her master, all of which are favorable conditions for Yun'er to paint well and finely. It's just that I haven't done it for many days, and I feel a little rusty. Her profession is painting, teaching cloth art, weaving, etc., for the girls and grandmothers in the house. But you can't help but teach.

Yun'er packed up the painting cases used for painting, and all the painting tools were put in place, such as the four treasures of the study, paints, felt, pen washing, color palette, etc., and there was no time to practice the basic skills first. Although Yun'er's basic skills in painting are already quite powerful, they are all basic skills in gongbi painting, and now they need basic skills in freehand painting.

Most of the painters of the Qing Dynasty painted landscapes, and some painted flowers. Yun'er has decided that in the future, she will mainly focus on freehand flowers and birds, and her flower and bird paintings will be based on freehand peonies. It's not that Yun'er prefers peonies, peonies are more difficult to draw among flowers, and if you paint peonies, there will be no obstacles to other flowers. There are many masters of exotic peony painters, each with its own style. The painted peony is the same as the living one. It mainly draws on the perspective method and realistic method in Western painting. There are also many stunt painting methods summarized and explored by painters. It is indeed a living peony that is in full bloom in front of our eyes, and this level was not available a few decades ago. Therefore, Yun'er used her spare time to practice drawing some basic painting methods, such as flower heads, branches and leaves, flower buds, as well as chapters, layouts, etc., as well as painting the highlights on grape grains, dew drops on lotus leaves, ice and snow, and bird fur and feathers...... Yun'er's uncle Zhou shopkeeper is in charge of paper, and he knows very well what paper is painted and what is painted. Shopkeeper Zhou likes Yun'er, a niece, more than he likes his own children. It's not because Yun'er is the prince's side room, it's because Yun'er has been smart and talented since she was a child. It is very liked by the shopkeeper of Zhou, and the rice paper is sent to the house with a knife, and the pigments, pen and ink are supplied in large quantities. But what Yun'er uses to practice painting is all practice paper, and there are also those called Yuanshu paper. Specialize in drawing grape grains, feathers, dewdrops, flower heads, branches, buds, etc., and practice repeatedly, and the more you practice, the more ripe you are, the more handy and memorized you are. Practice as long as you have a little free time. Now, the paper used for Yun'er to practice is the practice paper that Yun'er bought from a foreign land, and Yun'er never wastes paper. Draw light colors on paper first, then dark colors, and finally ink. These waste papers are not thrown away, Yun'er has long planned to let the three second-class maids be framers, these practice papers can be used to practice mounting, and the two-layer thick ones can be shaved samples.

Yun'er is very frugal in the use of paint and ink for painting. She was learning to draw with a computer in a foreign land, and she saw that the paint dipped in the teacher's brush in the computer was washed off before it was used up, and all kinds of paints became gray-black or very dirty when they were mixed together. Yun'er's method of shabu-shabu is to see what color the paint on the pen is, and use several brushes to wash it, which is divided into three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. In this way, when the color of the precipitated under the bottle is thick, you can pour out the water on it, and the color can still be used. Even if the color is not so accurate and cannot be used on a formal picture, it can be used as a practice to draw a bud, flower and leaf or something, and it is a pity to mix it together and become a very dirty color. This is also a habit she has developed to live a poor life, and now she is the prince's daughter, and she is still thrifty. It's just a few more brushes, and now there are large empty glass jars, which are better than pen washing: you can see the color of the paint, and you can take up less space on the painting case.

Painting is slow work, and you can't be impatient. To learn the same, to learn to draw monkeys is to draw monkeys, this period of time to draw monkeys, not to draw anything else, the image of the monkey and various movements, dynamics have mastered, proficient, in the future when creating can be handy.

The practice paper that Yun'er bought was all mail-ordered by Lanlan from Jiajiang, Sichuan, not high-grade rice paper produced in Anhui, which is very cheap. At that time, the retail price of the calligraphy and painting market was only three or four yuan a knife (100 pieces), and the mail order itself would be much cheaper, and the number of more would be more favorable.

Seeing Yun'er painting, the fish seemed to be hungry for something. But she knows the depth very well, no matter how good she is with her master, she is also a maid, who has heard that a maid follows her master to paint? Paper in those days was very expensive, not to mention paint. She can't make trouble for her master, don't let people say that the master spoils the maid and has no sense of proportion, so she can only endure it.

Why doesn't Yun'er know the fish's mind? Yu'er's identity is a maid, but she is very intelligent, and in exotic terms, she has a high IQ. And she was born as a young lady, although her father was a young master, and when she was three or four years old, she also learned to draw and write with her father for three or four years. I was deeply impressed by everything in elementary school, but later I lived a miserable life to the point where I was struggling, and I still remembered painting. Miss Master's painting of her serving on the side also benefited a lot, although she didn't draw her hands, she also remembered it in her heart. Before getting married, Yun'er had also taught Yu'er to draw, at least the brushwork and ink method had been understood, which exceeded the scope of beginners.

Yu'er is now teaching Mama, and she can have a high-sounding reason to learn to paint, and she also has Shui'er as a companion. But you can't rush it, you have to have a logical reason.
