Yun'er began to teach straw weaving. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She learned this by watching CDs "over there". This will be done, the corn is ripening one after another, and Yun'er begged the prince to send someone to the village on the outskirts of Beijing to get some corn husks. The prince immediately instructed Mang Ge to buy, corn husks are not a scarce thing, but you have to choose good quality and usable, two catties of corn husks to make money. Although the amount of corn husk is very light, two catties is a big pile, but in the past, it was burned with corn stalks, and the price was not low for the villagers.

Straw weaving is not very difficult, but it is troublesome. It is necessary to select a good corn husk, trim it neatly, clean it, dry it, put it in a large vat, smoke it with sulfur, and the color of the smoked corn husk will become white, soft and tough. Then, dye some corn husks for color matching as needed. Dye the cloth with the pigment of the dyeing workshop and dry it to use. Straw weaving needs a space, and the prince allocated a set of courtyards to Yun'er, and sent ten rough maids and grandmothers to operate specifically. There are several large vats in the yard for smoking corn husks, setting up large cauldrons to dye corn husks, and work cases. The soldiers were responsible for smoking and dyeing corn husks. Of course, the fish and the water must come to Yun'er's aid. They have already learned several kinds of straw weaving from Yun'er, and they can guide others in the future.

After the dyed corn husk is dried thoroughly, the warp and weft threads must be spun with a spinning wheel, and it is impossible to weave without the warp and weft threads.

Fortunately, when spinning rabbit fur, a spinning wheel has been made, and spinning corn husks with a spinning wheel is more than spinning rabbit fur. The corn husk rope spun out of the fish is very even. The spinning wheel is ready-made, but there is still a shortage of lasts for straw weaving. The master carpenter quickly typed out the shape and size that Yun'er said. The girls who could spin rabbit fur were all sent to spin corn husk thread, and more than a dozen spinning wheels were running at the same time, and a lot of uniform and strong corn husk ropes were spun in one day, and Yun'er was very satisfied. So he called them to him, taught them to measure them, to divide the position of each warp thread, and to nail the little pegs brought from the exotic land on the last end. Without these little nails to hold the warp threads, there is no way to weave. After fixing the warp, you can start knitting according to the style you have in mind.

The cornrope is much thicker than the white thread of the hooked flower, and it can be braided together, and Yun'er's hands are dexterous and fast, and a large piece will be braided in a short time. You can see the prototype of a fruit basket. The girls and grandmothers were pleasantly surprised to look at me, I looked at you, and said sincerely: "Master Yun's hands are so skillful! ”

This craftsmanship is good because the cost is low, the raw materials are sufficient, and it is suitable for people from all walks of life.

A beautiful fruit basket was born under Yun'er's dexterous hands! Yun'er can draw, and she has a unique eye for the color and style of the fruit basket. Bright and concise, very coordinated and pleasing to the eye. She asked the fish to go back to the room to get some fruits, and matched the position according to the color and size of the fruit like a flower arrangement, and inserted some autumn chrysanthemums in the yard in the appropriate position, which was so beautiful! The visitors gave a round of applause.

Yun'er looked like a young master dragon, clasped her hands into fists, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your encouragement!" ”

Under the guidance of Yun'er, everyone started another new attempt. Everyone is learning very seriously, although they are not as dexterous as Yun'er's hands, they are also working hard. Whether it's good or bad, they all make up their own works. While instructing them, Yun'er made up a pair of small cans for Go. It was a colorful pattern and was so stylish. Yun'er also made a small, boxy box with a lid that could be used for clothes. Everyone was so convinced. When the sample fruit baskets, Go jars, and small boxes woven by Yun'er were sent to Fujin's room, not only Fujin's eyes were big, but even the prince who was resting here was pleasantly surprised to hold the Go jar and couldn't put it down.

The prince said: "Xiu'er, what do you say is the matter with Yun'er, this girl?" Even if it's written down in a notebook, it's just on paper. If she wants to study there for a few more years, she may be able to make better use of her intelligence, but in the Qing Dynasty, she can't even leave the palace. ”

"She can't get out, isn't there still you? You help her. ”

"You still support her, some people say that this king is obedient to Yun'er, and even Mr. Chen reminded this king not to spoil Yun'er too much. But what she said was all useful things, and this king can't object to her just because she's a woman. By the way, I'll tell you a joke about Yun'er. Wasn't this king in Yun'er's room last night? It was late in the greenhouse, and Yun'er was already asleep when she went back to rest. Seeing that she was tired, I didn't call her. As soon as I got into bed and lay down, I heard the sound of "criticism" from Yun'er's mouth, and looked at the moonlight, her mouth was still moving, as if she was talking in a dream, so she leaned her ear over to hear what she was saying. Well, this ear just came up. She cried out in a loud voice: 'Corn husks! 'Good fellow, my ears were almost deafened, and I spit on my face. ”

Fu Jin laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist. The prince rarely mentioned the private relationship with Yun'er in front of her, for fear that Fu Jin would not be useful in his heart. Women, the most attention to detail.

Seeing Fu Jin laughing, the prince also laughed. By the way, Yun'er is ridiculous when she sees anything "over there". One funny clip on TV was enough for her to laugh all day. The prince didn't keep a straight face, she couldn't stop laughing. Fu Jin said: "You are also domineering enough, people are young and funny, and you still have to hold back?" Xiu'er also loved to laugh when she was young. Don't be in charge of her like this, she has always been pampered by her parents before she got married, and it is already very good to be so ladylike now. Her mother calls her as a boy, and it's really hard for her to be a little daughter-in-law in your hands. Yun'er is a girl from a scholarly family, and she has her own measure. ”

"Nalan Department Store" has a new product, straw handicrafts. The sporadic straw weaving that was previously sold in too small quantities and of a single variety is now in full-scale production and mass production.

As soon as the corn husk products were put on the market, they were welcomed by people from all walks of life, including ordinary people. Those small boxes, small tables, small stools, small baskets, small baskets and other daily necessities are beautiful and sturdy, and the price is low, Yun'er didn't expect that the hundred pairs of straw sandals she taught everyone to make as a joke were snatched up as soon as they were brought to the counter. The straw sandals woven by Yun'er are not only strong and lightweight, but also much more beautiful than straw weaving! It can be turned into a sandal style worn in summer, or it can be woven into a denser one for spring and autumn, and you can buy two pairs for 30 yuan.

The fish and the water also used their brains on the straw basket, embroidered the flowers on the basket with dyed straw rope, and then made flat flowers with silk screen flowers, but the flowers were covered with cattailgrass, and such flowers were very three-dimensional. Then there is embroidering on the basket with ribbons and weaving baskets with cross-stitch. It's so beautiful and beautiful! Yun'er gave them a very rich reward. Looking at the masterpieces of Yu'er Shui'er, no one dared to say that Yun'er favored them, and the things made by others were really beautiful! And Master Yun has always encouraged everyone to use their brains more and be more creative, and whoever has achievements will be rewarded, even if it is a rough maid and a grandmother, they are treated equally.

Tian Liang saw that Yun'er had to nail nails on the last when he was weaving a corn husk basket, and felt troublesome, so he remembered that the bundles of stainless steel welding rods given by Hailong could be crocheted, and it was not impossible to use a thick crochet needle to reach the basket, that is, a thread went forward, saving the need to drive nails on the wooden board. Just before going to bed at night, I quietly sharpened the thick crochet needle that hooked the corn husk thread. He has a set of files of different sizes, and he is very patient, one night, polished four or five stainless steel thick crochet hooks, let the fish try it, it is very easy to use, and gave the best one to Yun'er. The corn husk product of crochet is characterized by fast speed, how thick the corn rope spun from the corn husk is, and the hook is particularly numerous, and a large piece will come out after a while, and it is dense. Yun'er hooked two squares with corn husks, connected them back to back, stood up and added ropes, plastic colored beads, tassels, and stuffed spices into it to make a diamond-shaped sachet, and the outside of the sachet was embroidered with gorgeous flowers by the method of ribbon embroidery, which was simply a very beautiful sachet. Yu'er Shui Er Ling Juan and Lan Er three, Yue'er Lian'er, didn't say a word and began to learn madly, the hooked corn husk sachet was priced at 200 Wen by Yun'er, and there were guests fighting for it just after hanging it on the counter, and both sides said that they saw it first and should buy it first. Of course, it is also good to use a last and a warp and weft line, each with its own characteristics. Yun'er gave Tian Liang a lot of prizes: a full set of tennis equipment. Tian Liang taught a few guards to play, and immediately addicted several peers, and even the prince Fujin Shizi Gege Tian Rui also participated in the movement.

Corn husk products are in short supply. Taking advantage of this corn harvest season, the two chief managers of Mang Ge and ****** went to the countryside with the Yangge team to collect corn husks, and explained to the farmers that they wanted to be good and clean, or give two catties for a big money. On the prince's Zhuangzi, there are large patches of corn, and there are a large number of corn husks, don't look at two catties to give a big money, there are as many corn husks as a mountain! At the same time as the corn is harvested, the corn husks are also cleared. With a large number of corn husk raw materials, corn husk products are born in a steady stream. Yun'er's corn husk fruit basket is beautiful, sturdy and durable, which is not only welcomed by people from all walks of life, but also attracts Westerners to order in large quantities. An English merchant said, "The Qing Dynasty people were too clever and romantic!" ”

Yun'er often has whims to use it in straw weaving, using all the skills she has learned, creating one wonderful effect after another that everyone can't imagine.

For example, she turned the warp and weft threads of straw into a grid, which is a very regular square grid, and then made roses, moons, tulips, chrysanthemums, lotuses, and peonies from corn husks and sewed them on the lattices and various utensils woven from corn husks. Not only beautiful, but also very foreign. Especially cute is the sachet made in the form of straw weaving into the shape of a diamond, ingot, sack, heart, zongzi, tiger head, round, goldfish, pineapple, etc., than the Dragon Boat Festival sold brocade sachet is larger, decorated with colored beads, wishful knots and tassels, very chic!

From the sachet began to expand, into a handbag, there is more room for display, a variety of hand, shoulder corn husk handbags than the sachet more types, but also practical.

Folk skillful women began to imitate and play, they did not have cross-stitch, silk screen flowers and ribbon embroidery materials, so they dyed the corn husk in various colors, and the natural color of the corn husk to weave, very simple, heavy. Ladies from all walks of life in the capital are attracted by corn husk straw weaving, who doesn't have one or two straw works in their hands?

Straw weaving is not limited to corn husks, wheat stalks, cattail grass are good straw materials, and corn husks are mixed into baskets, baskets, baskets, sewing baskets, and even old hens lay eggs in the hen's nest, kennels, catteries, etc., the human brain is an inexhaustible source of wisdom!

While purchasing corn husks, Tian Liang found a special oven for roasting corn bought from an exotic land. This stove burns honeycomb coal, and the flame of honeycomb coal is not high, and the heat is not as high as that of large coals. Underneath the oven is where the honeycomb coal is placed, and above there are rows of cylinders, each of which can fit in just one ear of corn, and the outside of the oven has a crank that allows the corn to turn. One person controls the heat, and the other person keeps shaking the handle, of course, not just one, one shaker can drive a row of cylinders, so that the roasted corn inside will be evenly baked and not burnt. The crops of Daqing are all green and pollution-free, and the taste is very pure. Therefore, when the corn is roasted, the fragrance is overflowing, making adults and children salivate. Especially for people with good teeth, nibbling on roasted corn is really fragrant. The common people of the Qing Dynasty also loved to gnaw on the corn that had just come down. Most of them are cooked in a large pot, not that they don't want to eat roasted, but it is easy to cook and expensive to bake. The oven for roasting corn is not very complicated, it is basically manual, not even mechanical, and it can roast twenty at a time, saving time. This roasting corn oven was copied several times by Tian Liang, and then placed at the door of Uncle Nalan's shop to process roasted corn for people. Bring your own raw corn, roast a processing fee of a penny, and operate it by Uncle Nalan and his youngest son, who defected to Nalan's guards. Twenty in one furnace, twenty Wen, calculated in exotic time, one oven in fifteen minutes, four ovens in an hour, how can you bake seven furnaces and eight furnaces in a day, you can bake more than one or two silver, remove the cost of honeycomb coal, and you can also make a net profit of one or two silver, which is more profitable than selling tofu brains. It's just that this business is seasonal. This can also be regarded as an additional way to make money, in addition to Uncle Nalan having a corn oven, Mama Dong's eldest son Dong Da also has one, and Nafeng's second son also has one.

Inspired by the oven, Tian Liang asked Yun'er to find the rice flower machine that he didn't know where to put it, and after the season of roasting corn, he could break the rice for others. The rice flower machine collapsed out of the smiling rice flower, there was no "dumb", and it tasted crunchy. Of course, this kind of rice can't be compared with cream rice, but it is very suitable for ordinary people. The rice flower that Tian Liang brought back from the collapsed rice machine has no lead at all, it is newly developed, easy to operate, very safe, and will not explode. So Uncle Nalan's other child operated the rice flower machine full-time. His family of ten people lives on these two improvised instruments.

Although there is a sale of corn husk products in the prince's business plan, he did not expect it to have such a big sensational effect. Although the price of straw sandals was increased to 20 wen a pair of straw sandals according to the complexity of the process, the supply was still in short supply, and even Westerners with big noses became the main customers of buying straw sandals. The poor bought more, and the straw sandals were well protected from soaking in the water, and they would be worn for a long time if they were kept dry. Moreover, the straw sandals are densely woven and impermeable, and then hung with a layer of cotton lining, which can be worn as cotton shoes. What's more, Yun'er's corn skin straw shoes are so beautiful! (To be continued.) )
