Chapter 22: Business Ideas

22 business thoughts

This spring rain will not end in a few days, and this sprinkling of lingering energy makes people lazy and want to sleep. Yang Liu was not on duty for the next few days, and she thought about making the cuff she thought of in her spare time.

As soon as she saw Yang Liu moving needlework, Xiuxiu got together with Yang Liu with the attitude of learning from the scriptures. The young lady of this big family doesn't farm and don't do laundry and cooking, so what is the time for? Naturally, it's embroidery to pass the time. Therefore, Yang Liu's craftsmanship must be at the level of a grandmaster in Xiuxiu's eyes, and today the grandmaster is going to give a lecture at the altar, so he must hurry up and grab a good position?

Xiuxiu took the magpie in her hand that had not been embroidered to climb the branch, and looked at the willow with a begging expression. Yang Liu felt that the thing in his hand was a hot potato, and he almost couldn't help but throw it away. In modern times, she knows how to use needles and threads, but that's when she mends socks. If you want her to embroider, you won't be able to embroider a flower in ten years.

However, Yang Liu estimated that she could still successfully draw the edge of a stick figure, so she praised Xiuxiu's superb embroidery skills without any different colors on her face, and when Xiuxiu asked what was the best stitch to use for the unfinished part, she lightly spit out two words: "Roll the needle." ”

After reading so many novels, she remembered this one stitch, and now it has finally come in handy.

Xiuxiu was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time, the daughter-in-law in the tunzi will have some sewing skills, the embroidery is not very brilliant, she has always used the flat needle, but I didn't expect that there is such an embroidery method as a rolling needle. Therefore, Yang Liu's calm appearance made her feel even more unfathomable, master, she had to learn and learn. She leaned forward, compared her needle with the taut embroidered cloth, and asked, "How do you roll?" ”

Willow: ""

How does she know how to roll, is it that rolling needles is famous for rolling? Khan, if you keep talking, you're going to wear a goof! She had to lie to Xiuxiu that it would be difficult to use a roller needle after half of the embroidery, otherwise the two stitches would be different, and the painting would be damaged.

Xiuxiu nodded as if she didn't understand, Yang Liu picked up the scissors, clicked and wiped a few scissors and cut off a piece of linen cloth about the same size as the face of the kang, and picked out a thin carbon strip from a piece of linen in the needlework dustpan, from top to bottom, her wrist moved, and she didn't see a few movements, a picture of plum blossoms blooming in the cold jumped on the linen, and at the same time, she pinched the cuff of her right hand with her left hand, and wrote "A few plums in the corner, Ling Han opened alone, and knew that it was not snow, because there was a dark fragrance." "There's a lot of white space, but it doesn't look empty.

When has Xiuxiu ever seen such a literary painting? I just think it's quite good-looking, but I can see it with a few strokes. My sister-in-law is really a good writer, and she writes poetry. She didn't listen to Yang Liu say how to leave blank space or how to inscribe, but just stared at the painting with blazing eyes. Knowing that Yang Liu gave her this painting, Xiuxiu looked at it for a while before she cherished it and put it in her arms.

When she looked up, she saw that Yang Liu had cut a piece of linen cloth and bound a circle of threads crookedly, even if she practiced, she was too distracted. Xiuxiu couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, what are you messing with?" ”

"I want to make a sleeve cage so I don't have to worry about getting my sleeves dirty when I cook in the future." Yang Liu showed Xiuxiu the semi-finished product in his hand: "Oh, it's like this stitching, one end is tight, the other end is loose, and there is a rope here that can adjust the size." ”

Xiuxiu took it and looked up and down, and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, how did you come up with it?" The"

"Cuff." Yang Liu reminded.

"Well, sleeve cage, I'm not afraid to go out to work with this."

"Well, I think so too, and it's better to say now that it should be a hassle to do laundry in winter." Yang Liu nodded, in fact, the effect of the sleeve cage is not much different from that of an apron. She bit off the thread, put the finished sleeve in her hand and put it on her hand to see how tight it was, and if it was not suitable, she would change it.

Xiuxiu mentioned on the side: "Sister-in-law, don't you embroider a flower on it?" "Women love beauty, so it's better to look good, and by the way, you can also see the craftsmanship of willow.

"What are you doing with such a waste, just wear it at home" Yang Liu stopped his mouth, thinking of the small and delicate short-sleeved cages in the small wholesale market, he had an idea in his heart, and asked Xiuxiu in a low voice: "You said that if we make it and sell it, will someone buy it?" ”

Xiuxiu shook her head: "I'm afraid not, our sleeve cage looks simple, the fabric used is also economical, any cloth can be used, we are all good at needlework, I'm afraid it will be a second look, who else will spend a few dollars to buy it." ”

Of course, Yang Liu also knew that Xiuxiu was right, in order to facilitate the adjustment, she sewed a strip of cloth inside, which was not only difficult to wear, but also easy to form a dead knot. If there is elasticity, the problem is solved. Hey, Yang Liu frowned, why is it so difficult to make some money.

"Sister-in-law, no, after all, no one has ever done this cuff, and it doesn't necessarily mean that no one will buy it, maybe someone wants something new. Let's make a few pairs casually, even if we explore the market first, as if we are playing, and earn some pocket money. Thinking that it hurt Yang Liu's self-esteem, Xiuxiu hurriedly remedied.

Knowing Xiuxiu's kindness, Yang Liu didn't refuse, so he asked Xiuxiu to help make a pair, and sure enough, he was an expert, and what Xiuxiu did was not at the same level as himself. Yang Liu is not envious, each has its own strengths. She worries about how to find the tightness, otherwise it will be troublesome.

Before Xiuxiu left, Yang Liu didn't forget to stuff half a piece of linen into her hand and let her practice playing. Fortunately, she sorted out her dowry when she had nothing to do, and found several pieces of cloth, although it was worthless linen, it had some effect. Even if she gets her a few silk gauze skirts, she can't wear them to the ground.

I really don't know if I have to thank Wang's "intimacy".

Yang Liu covered his face with a handkerchief and lay on his back on the kang, you were sold cheaply, and there was a wave of gratitude.

Dizzy, the spirit of suffering is a little too much.

Yang Liu went out of the room with some irritability, the doors of several rooms were almost closed, Yang Liu looked at the mud yard dam that was trampled on all the footprints, and still rested his mind to go out. When his eyes fell on the iron pillar in the hallway, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He couldn't go out to play on a rainy day, so Tiezhu took the slingshot his father made for him and shot it indiscriminately under the corridor.

"Tiezhu, come to Aunt Five." Yang Liu immediately beckoned.

"Fifth aunt." Seeing that it was Yang Liu who had prepared food for him, Tie Zhu pounced on him very face-savingly, and coquettishly said to Yang Liu: "Fifth aunt, the food cooked by the second aunt is so unpalatable, when will you cook for us to eat." ”

Today is Yu's duty, and the food she cooked was okay, but the oil in the crockpot really couldn't be scraped when she was on duty, there was no oil, and no matter how delicious the dish was, it couldn't taste brilliant, no, He took Yu and Li Cong to the town to buy oil.

Yang Liu counted the days and said, "The day after tomorrow, it will be the turn of the fifth aunt, and if Tiezhu wants to eat, tell the fifth aunt, and the fifth aunt will definitely help you do it." ”

Tie Zhu hurriedly nodded in response, and Yang Liu then led the topic to the slingshot, "Who made this slingshot for you?" ”

"My father did it, Aunt Five, you see, my father did a good job."

The slingshot fork was a fork found from an elm tree, and it was polished smooth, but Willow's attention was not on it, she was interested in this rubber band. In order to test the elasticity, she took a stone from the small cloth pocket at the waist of the iron pillar, held the slingshot fork in her left hand, pinched it with the slingshot pocket with the stone in her right hand, pulled it back violently, and let it go, only to hear the stone fly out with a bang, and smashed into the bamboo forest, and lost many bamboo leaves. Good stretch.

Yang Liu lowered his head again and instructed: "Tie Zhu is a good boy, you can't play with a slingshot at people, you know?" ”

"Uh-huh." Tie Zhu nodded again and again, clasped his hands in front of his chest, his eyes were full of stars, and he looked at Yang Liu with a look of adoration: "Fifth aunt, you are so amazing." ”

What girl doesn't have a childhood like a woman? She remembers that when she was a child, she would hook hoops, fight cocks with boys, jump rope barefoot, go down to the river to fish, and go to people's homes to steal fruit

Hey, why are our days gone? Yang Liu was a little worried.

Getting back to business, Yang Liu asked, "Where did your father get this rubber band?" ”

"This is the fifth uncle with the hoof tendons of the wild boar, it took a lot of effort."

"Oh." It's so troublesome, how much does it cost to make a sleeve cage, Yang Liu suddenly responded like a deflated ball.

(Note: I checked Du Niang, I think a classmate said that in fact, the rubber band appeared before the wooden slingshot, the ancient projectile toys (tools), the East and the West are used ropes, a rope with a pocket in the middle, after the circle is rounded, the use of centrifugal force to launch mud pellets or stones is very reasonable, but I think it is better to Y and Y, really, why should I be so serious?) )
