Chapter 309: Training and Teaching (3)
As soon as the jealous and hateful Mama Zheng entered Fu Jin's room, she told Fu Jin about her disrespect, and Fu Jin slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table: "Ma'er, how did I tell you!" ”
The beard knew that this reprimand was inevitable again. Hurriedly knelt down: "Fujin, the slave knows that she is wrong, and she doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore!" ”
"Let me ask you, in the more than 20 years before Master Yun taught you how to make siu mai buns, did you ever make a siu mai bun? You said that dogs can make it with a nest head, so aren't you as good as a dog? How many times have I told you that before you speak, think about whether this hurts or not? Master Yun is two years younger than you, but you won't be able to catch up with other people's cultivation in twenty years! Has Master Yun reprimanded you? No, are you angry and angry? Nor did it. People brought the dog here, so you can see with your own eyes whether the dog can make siu mai buns? Don't you feel like your face is hot? Do you know why the prince fell in love with her? It's because she has connotation! It's not like you, your head is empty! I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, just let me stand in the outer room and introspect myself! ”
Fu Jin speaks sharply enough, she is really angry, and she doesn't remember to eat or fight. Fu Jin is not afraid of Yun'er, but he has listened to the prince's performance of Yun'er and respects her for a year. It is also to let the prince have peace of mind and not want the people around him to cause trouble. But this mustache didn't make a face for her, and provoked Yun'er again and again. If Yun'er thinks that what Fu'er did was instructed by Fu Jin, Fu Jin would not have a word of justification! It would be reasonable if Yun'er slapped her with a few mouths, but after all, she was very faceless. As the saying goes: It depends on the owner to beat the dog, but Yun'er really beat the man, Fujin can't be biased, it is the man'er who is at fault first, Yun'er is the master, and it is reasonable to punish the slave and maid. It can be said that Yun'er gives Fujin a lot of face, and Fu'er speaks so hurtfully, no one says a word "no".
Fu Jin was surprised that Yun'er had changed so much in the space of a year, and she didn't look like a woman in her twenties. It's not that Yun'er is scheming and can attract the prince, it's that Yun'er's heart has become bigger.
The materials that Yun'er sent to the eight teaching grandmothers were distributed in a fixed amount, and there was no requirement for them to complete it in a long time, just to give them a familiar process. People in foreign lands like to say that from quantitative change to qualitative change, do more, become proficient, and deepen the impression, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and skill can be fresh. I made it slowly in my spare time.
The next lesson is that Yun'er taught the eight grandmothers how to make zongzi buns, heart-shaped buns and butterfly buns, as well as the garlands of small flowers that she figured out a few days ago. Garlands with fungus can not be taught yet, because a sewing machine is needed.
Especially that butterfly bag, it's really unique. There are few women in the Qing Dynasty who can't do needlework, especially clothes, and the buttons on the clothes are all tied by themselves. No one thought that this kind of button knot could be used not only as a button to sew on clothes, but also as a work of art.
Yun'er demonstrated a butterfly bag on the spot. First, a piece of monochrome brocade was cut into the outline of a butterfly, and after sewing, a rope was threaded through the butterfly's belly. The butterfly was sewn with a small ready-made wishful knot, and a simple pattern was embroidered on the butterfly's body, and a dozen small red beads were inlaid near the edge of the butterfly's wings. There are four strands of braided rope below, and each strand is threaded with four button knots, which is called "garlic lumps" in the local language, much like small garlic heads. Four strings of garlic of different colors are very beautiful! How many women in the Qing Dynasty don't know how to fight "garlic pimples"? But how many women think of such a beautiful result? Speaking of ideology, compared with foreign women, women in the Qing Dynasty are still more conservative. Because women in exotic lands have their own culture, they become active in thinking under the influence of various information, dare to think and dare to do, and there are no obstacles.
Ling Juan was born and raised in a foreign land, but she has never been exposed to handicrafts such as sachets, but she has made fluffy animals during her prison sentence, and has made cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton gloves with hand needles, so it is not difficult to make sachets. She is a person with a strong desire for knowledge, she can learn whatever she can, and learning her hands is a skill. During his imprisonment, he also learned to repair radios, semiconductors, massage, massage, and cupping.
The third lecture was on how to weave the Ruyi knot, which was called "Chinese knot" and "Chinese knot" in foreign lands, which was what the women of the Qing Dynasty called the knot. Especially Mama Zheng, Luozi played very well, and there were no tools like foam board before, so they were all played directly in the hand. In fact, it is more difficult to hit directly on the hand than to use foam board, and if you don't get it right, you will have to start over. Playing on foam board is organized and not easy to mess up. After Yun'er taught her how to use foam board to tie the ropes, Mama Zheng was like a tiger. In the past, I learned everything I mastered from others, and I painted the tiger according to the cat, and when I became proficient, it became a conditioned reflex, and I didn't have to think about it. After using foam board, you will understand the organization and "know why". Yun'er also thinks that Mama Zheng also has the same advantage of playing in her hands, that is, it is fast and saves time, but it is very limited, and if it is too complicated, she can't play it in her hands, and Mama Zheng has only mastered more than a dozen kinds. In the future, I want Mama Zheng to teach everyone to fight in your hands. Everyone in the Qing Dynasty knows how to needle, but not everyone knows how to tie the yarn.
At this time, Ling Juan admired Yun'er even more, she had heard from her two aunts and sisters how smart and capable Yunyun was, but she didn't expect her to be able to do it so much. There are roughly three kinds of ruyi knots, but there are many weaving methods in each one, such as flat knots, double money knots, double knots, cross knots, swastile knots, eight-figure knots, pipa knots, three-ring knots, double ring knots, Peruvian knots, button knots, etc.; The second is the change knot: such as osmanthus knot, hydrangea knot, ten complete knots, compound wing plate long knots; The third is a combination of knots: Ruyi auspicious knots, Fangsheng knots, longevity knots, halberd knots, etc.
Ling Juan didn't know how Bai Yun'er remembered these complicated skills.
Yun'er starts from the most basic to teach everyone, each class to learn one, knotting art and needlework is two completely different skills, many cloth processors as long as there are samples, immediately can imitate it, Ruyi knot is a little complicated, with samples are often confused, I don't know where to start. Yun'er didn't demand speed, and wanted to teach everyone three or five things that could cope with the seasonal trial sale of the Dragon Boat Festival. If I teach you the whole set, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in half a year.
The rulers of the Qing Dynasty also attached great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival, a purely Han festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, and they have nothing to do with Qu Yuan at all.
In addition to wearing purses and sachets, you should also wear colorful threads. Yun'er spent a Dragon Boat Festival in a foreign land, although the atmosphere of the festival is not as strong as that of the Qing Dynasty, but it is very purple and red in some seasonal handicrafts.
Yun'er has a lot of multicolored threads in her hands, and these multicolored threads are not just silk threads of five colors like those of the Qing Dynasty, but beads the size of mung beans with small beads of various colors. It's not that plastic beads are glass, plastic is a little toxic, and it's okay to wear a necklace on the outside of clothes, but it's not good next to the skin. Some people are very sensitive, and their skin is allergic and red bumps when they touch plastic products, and some people simply don't react. So Yun'er bought plastic beads to use on the sachet and not to touch the skin.
Yun'er found a whole box of multicolored threads with glass beads in the room, and asked everyone to cut the line segments to a length suitable for wearing on their hands. I also taught a few grandmothers to use braided rope to weave a bracelet, the braided rope bracelet must be matched with colored beads, preferably the kind of beads similar to pearls, although this kind of beads are also plastic, but it is on the top of the bracelet, that is, the outside of the bracelet, not next to the flesh, Yun'er also found it in the room, or bought it from Aunt Xiaoli, are the size of textbooks in plastic film bags, according to white, pink, red, purple, rose and green, yellow, blue and other colors are bagged.
Mama Zheng said: "Master Yun, your antiques are too valuable, right?" So many pearls? ”
Yun'er was amused by Mama Zheng: "This is not a pearl, let alone an East pearl, it is a plastic bead." Its price cannot be compared to that of pearls. ”
"Isn't it? Such a beautiful bead is not a pearl? ”
"There is a famous saying in the Exotic Lands that what shines is not necessarily gold. By the way, Sister Ling is a person who was born and raised over there, let Sister Ling talk about it? ”
Ling Juan stood up and said with a smile: "What Master Yun said is true, the main ingredient of plastic is resin, and the term resin was originally named after the lipids secreted by animals, such as rosin, shellac, etc. The so-called plastic is actually a kind of synthetic resin, which is artificially synthesized by chemical means and is called plastic. ”
The seven Sect Mama looked at each other, not knowing what Ling Juan was talking about. After a long time, it dawned on her and said, "It's a fake pearl?" That's good, just sell the pearl for real, isn't it very profitable? ”
Mama Zheng reprimanded: "Before I can do business, my crooked eyes will come up." ”
Yun'er said, "Mama Zheng doesn't need to be angry, Sister Fu'er didn't understand what I said. I didn't want to sell plastic beads as real pearls, nor did I compare them to pearls. I just told everyone that it is a plastic bead, and it has nothing to do with real or fake pearls, so everyone calls it plastic beads. The difference between it and pearls is very light, I took off the pearl earrings on my ears, and I can put the normally large plastic beads and pearls in my hand. ”
The beard was really unambiguous, and really put the plastic beads and pearls on his hands and checked them, which was too much, so he quickly returned Yun'er's earrings to Yun'er, and the fish put them on Yun'er.
Yun'er continued: "From the price, you will also know that plastic beads are not pearls. ”
Mama Lin said: "If someone really buys our plastic beads and sells them as pearls, someone will be held accountable......
"Please rest assured, we will not only sell plastic beads, but also a few inlays on clothes or sachets and handbags, and there is a difference in price. However, there are some things that should be done with caution. Just because we don't have the idea of being confused doesn't mean that others don't. ”
Yun'er taught several grandmothers to make bracelets with plastic beads and braided ropes, which are very beautiful! This ornament is not available in the Qing Dynasty, and there is more than one. For example, "Seven Star Hands", "Wonderful Lotus", "Mother of Sons", and "Moon Linglong", each teacher wears a bracelet made up by herself. Yun'er said: "What you wear on your hands will be a thought for you." ”
The teaching mothers hurriedly gave Yun'er a gift to express their gratitude. Yun'er said, "You guys are too polite. Let's use braided rope and plastic beads to weave several kinds of jewelry, which is somewhat difficult, but it looks good and can be worn on the head. Sister Shui'er, you will send materials. Do you think this sample in my hand looks good? ”
Yun'er held up a hairpin braided on the hairpin, which is a combination of braided rope and plastic beads and glass beads, a purple-red hairpin flower that looks like a rose, and wears it on the head of the fish for everyone to see, and the grandmothers applauded happily: it is so beautiful, no less than gold, silver, beads, and emerald jewelry. The flower pattern is not very large, but it is exquisite. Yun'er started from the beginning, and every link was explained very carefully, and several teaching grandmothers began a new round of craft production. One by one, they were very careful and careful, for fear of breaking the material.
Since the materials are very well prepared, everyone has a plate of materials in front of them, and they can reach for whatever materials they need. The clever Mama made all the braided rope hairpins that Yun'er taught, and also sent them the materials to go back to practice.
The next lesson is how to combine braided rope with jade and chest wear. Not only is there a braided rope, but also plastic beads and glass beads are used as embellishments, which are cleverly matched with jade pendants and chest pendants.
Mama Zheng said something in her heart: "Such a day is not profitable, but it is also enjoyable!" ”
Mama Zheng is an absolute authority at home, and her husband Dr. Zhu is a very gentle person, always smiling. The children have always been filial and respectful to Mama Zheng. The eldest son, daughter-in-law, second son, second daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law are all on errands in the house, and the younger son is only ten years old and follows Zhu Yiguan to study medicine, which is a harmonious and happy family. When Mama Zheng took home the practice materials sent to her by Yun'er, her daughter-in-law and daughter's eyes widened: "Mother, where did you get this baby?" Look at the bracelet in your hand, which firm doesn't sell it, can you give your daughter-in-law (daughter) a closer look? ”
"Yes, I can't give it to you. It's not that the old lady is too picky, it's just such a thing, the daughter-in-law and daughter are naturally unhappy, and the daughter-in-law will definitely say that the old lady is eccentric. ”
"Where do we dare to ask for it, just to see if it's addictive, right? Oh my God, how much does this stuff cost? There are seven beads on it alone! Your old man lent it to his daughter-in-law for a few days, okay? Can't you borrow it? "The eldest daughter-in-law dares to speak the most.
Mama Zheng's daughter is very reasonable, she didn't compete with her sister-in-law, and spoke for her sister-in-law: "Then you can lend it to your sister-in-law for a few days." ”
"Okay, okay, it's borrowing? The daughter-in-law wears it for a few days, and then the daughter-in-law wears it for a few days. If you have the opportunity to talk to Master Yun, ask her to give her mother some materials, and make up two more, and all three of you will have it. ”
"Mother! This moon ...... in your bag"
"What, what? This is a sample, do you know? These materials are to be made according to this sample. Don't worry, I'll talk to Fu Jin, please intercede with Fu Jin, even if you buy it, I'll buy you a little material, women, who doesn't love stinky beauty? ”
"If you want to say that this rope may be given to you by Fang Fujin, but is this bead too valuable?"
Mama Zheng laughed and didn't say anything.
