Chapter 1 Bamboo carving
"Miss, there is a stream. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Midori said excitedly.
"yes, it's so clear. There are still small fish in it, is this water left from the mountains, there is no lake here? Die'er asked.
"Why don't we go up the stream and look for it?" Midori had an eager expression.
Die'er looked at the sun: "It's too late, they will definitely look for us later, go back first, find a time to ask." ”
After that, the two of them began to walk back, and sure enough, when they were about to reach the backyard of the house, they heard their grandmother's voice, "Die'er, Xiaolu, where are you two?" I'm back and ready to eat. ”
"Grandma, we're here." Butterfly responded.
When the two girls approached, Mu Wen saw that the clothes on the two of them were covered with white ash, their feet were covered with mud, unkempt, and their faces were cut by bamboo leaves.
"Baby, where have you two gone? This face is scratched, and I feel sorry for my grandmother. Grandma chattered as she tidied up.
When I was helping Xiao Lu sort out his sleeves, he also found thin cuts one by one, and when he saw the blurred flesh and blood, the bluffing grandmother shouted: "Yingzi, Yingzi, come on, Die'er and Xiao Lu are injured." ”
When the people in the family heard this, it was like oil was fried in the pot, Shui Qing ran the fastest, hugged the two girls, looked at them from head to toe, looked at the thin cuts on their faces and bodies, and felt distressed.
"Where have you been running for a while? There were wounds all over the body. Shui Qing asked if it hurt while blowing on the wound.
"We went to the bamboo forest to play, and we found a small stream, so beautiful." The little green mouth is fast.
"Creek? Did you go deep into the bamboo forest? "I was surprised. Hurriedly asked.
"yes, the bamboo inside is so big. I can't hold a lot of fat ones. "Little Green offers treasure and says.
"You are so bold that your little uncle doesn't dare to go in alone. There are a lot of poisonous snakes, animals and so on, how can you get a bite? "Grandpa is not calm anymore.
"You two girls are so bold, we never dared to go in, and we all went soft when we saw the soft and slippery snake." Auntie's eyes were full of incredulity.
"It's good that we didn't see a snake." Die'er also found it strange.
"Count your luck lucky, next time you dare to run inside, see if I don't spank you." Yingzi raised her face and threatened.
"Mom, you really have the creek. We still want to know where the water comes from. Midori pouted unconvinced.
"If you don't obey again, you're really going to be spanked." Yingzi was really angry, looking at the scratches on her delicate face, as if she was cut by a knife, if she was bitten by a snake, wouldn't she have half her life?
After speaking, he pulled one in one hand and dragged him to the room to freshen up, but fortunately he brought a change of clothes. When they come out again, they are two pretty girls who are smart again. The red marks on his face soon disappeared, and the grandmother laughed and said that the child's health was good, and the wounds healed quickly.
However, the family didn't dare to let the two girls wander around anymore, and let Xinqi follow all the way. The responsibility is heavy, if there is a mistake, the family will definitely not spare him. So follow suit. The two little girls were depressed.
"Uncle, don't follow us. Promise not to go anywhere, okay? Xiao Lu hugged Xinqi's thigh and begged for mercy.
"No, I can't. It's almost time to eat, where do you want to go? After a break at noon, we are going to participate in the Bamboo Horse Festival. So, it's better to stay at home obediently. "Xinqi is not soft-hearted at all.
"Okay, then we can always go to Grandpa?" Butterfly asked.
"Okay, grandpa is making furniture in the side room, I was also going to help, if you go over, I can also work by the way." When I heard it, this method was the best.
In the end, the three of them decided to go to the side room to play with their grandfather. The structure of the old house is very interesting, just like a "concave" character, the front gate is the hall and two master bedrooms, four rooms on each side of the courtyard, and the middle is a fenced yard to prevent other animals from breaking in.
The yard is not pure open-air, the eaves stretch very long, the front is like a corridor, the farmhouse has no railings, are planted with clumps of flowers or bamboo, and then built with stones, digging drainage ditches, and there is no need to worry about getting wet shoes and socks on rainy days.
The porch behind the main house is wider, there are curtains, which are usually rolled up, and can be put down in rain and snow to shelter from the wind and rain, which is the open kitchen we dream of.
The partial house is actually an annex house, close to the main house, and there are several large rooms built next to it, which are mainly warehouses for raising poultry and stacking grain, and the outermost room is the largest, close to the small courtyard, which is the usual workplace of the grandfather, and the weather is good in the small yard.
"Grandpa, what are you busy with?" As soon as Die'er entered the door, she saw her grandfather wearing glasses and carving a piece of wood seriously, only to see bamboo chips flying, but she couldn't understand the specific content.
"This is a chaise longue customized by a master in the town for his wife, and the carved dragon head in my hand is the handrail of the couch," the grandfather saw that it was the baby's great-granddaughter, and said with a smile.
Seeing the butterfly with relish, he introduced it with great difficulty, "The fine polishing technique of the chaise longue is reflected in the carving of the fence, handrails and couch legs, and the dragon pattern openwork is the most popular, and it is also the best job in our family." Don't underestimate a chaise longituna, it is very refined in the details of the couch legs and tooth plates, whether it is straight legs or curved legs, it is indispensable to carefully cut flower and grass patterns. So such a chaise longue may take a month to be delivered. ”
Butterfly and Xiao Lu were dumbfounded, it would take more than a month to make such a couch?
"And how much money can you make with such a couch?" Butterfly asked.
"Looking at the materials he asked to use, if they provide the materials, we will generally charge a manual fee, maybe one or two hundred yuan." Xinqi did the math.
"Grandpa is working so hard to earn one or two hundred yuan?" Butterfly's tone began to change.
"yes, because there are so many people who know how to trade. There are still certain requirements for this, and those used by ordinary people may not be able to collect these money. Grandpa sighed.
"No, don't carve this bed after Grandpa carves it, or don't sell it after carving." Die'er thought for a moment and said.
"Not for sale? Don't you sell insects here? Grandpa put down the carving knife in his hand and smiled.
"It's not that you don't sell it, it's that you don't sell it to people who don't understand value." Die'er explained.
"Then where do I go to find people who understand and are willing to spend money to buy them?" Grandpa also wants to tease this baby great-grandson.
"My customers will definitely buy it." Butterfly cut the railway.
"Your client?" Xinqi's interest was also aroused.
