Chapter 19: Learn to Make Clothes
There was nothing to do after dinner, and Shen Qingqing thought about using the blue flower fabric he bought from the town to make a dress for Xiao Douding, so that he would not have time to take care of it when he was busy in the future.
Shen Qingqing sat in front of the sewing machine with the fabric, looked left and right, but didn't do it for a long time, if there were other things, Shen Qingqing could also find a thing or two, but it was difficult to make clothes, let alone study, even if he hadn't seen it.
In the end, Shen Qingqing simply took out Xiaodouding's old clothes and did it like the cat and the tiger, and the scissors in his hand were compared to the fabric, but he couldn't get his hands on it.
She took the cotton in her hand, thinking that it would be better to stuff some cotton in it for the winter, but how to stuff the cotton into it became a problem.
Xiao Douding saw that his mother was in trouble here, and went out without making a sound.
Shen Qingqing was so focused on studying how to make clothes that he didn't notice.
Finally, I finally made up my mind, and when I just wanted to go down with scissors, I saw a woman's voice at the door: "Oh, such a good fabric can't be so corrupted, this dress is not like this." ”
"Aunt Wang?" Shen Qingqing looked up and saw that Aunt Wang was already standing at the door, still holding Xiao Douding in her hand.
Shen Qingqing hurriedly stood up: "Aunt Wang, why are you here?" ”
"Hao Hao said you don't know how to make clothes, so let me come over and help." Aunt Wang said that her hands and feet were sharp, and she stepped forward and took the fabric.
This made Shen Qingqing unexpected, she walked in front of Xiao Douding and slowly squatted down: "Haohao, did you call Aunt Wang over?" ”
Xiao Douding nodded, lowered his head and played with his fingers, looking a little shy: "My mother is so good to Haohao, in order to make Haohao live a good life, it is so hard, I saw that you can't make clothes, so I called Aunt Wang over." ”
The child is delicate and thinks about Shen Qingqing very much, but because it is a boy's relationship and emotional restraint, he is embarrassed to speak.
Shen Qingqing felt a heat in her heart, and pinched Xiao Douding's face: "Thank you Haohao, Haohao can be regarded as a great help to my mother." ”
Aunt Wang couldn't help but be moved when she saw this picture of mother's love and filial piety, and her voice was much gentler: "This Haohao is really sensible. ”
"Okay, Haohao go play." Shen Qingqing patted Xiao Douding's head, Xiao Douding was also playful, and jumped out.
Aunt Wang and Shen Qingqing were left in the room, but Aunt Wang was out of sight, and said directly: "This clothes need to be drawn with chalk putty on the fabric, and then cut with scissors. ”
When Aunt Wang heard this, she hurriedly went to the utility room to take out the chalk putty.
Shen Qingqing also learned things very quickly, and in less than half an hour, he learned how to make this clothes.
It's not good to keep bothering Aunt Wang, and after she goes back, Shen Qingqing slowly groped for herself, and it took three days for a set of clothes to be ready.
After Xiao Douding put it on, he turned around left and right, and he was not happy: "Mother, this dress is so good-looking, Haohao can also wear new clothes." ”
Not to mention, this dress is made to fit, the size and length are appropriate, and the little bean diced with blue lining is even more energetic, and it looks like a tiger's head.
Xiao Douding put it on for a while before taking it off, covering his stomach: "Mother, I'm hungry." ”
"Okay, mother, I'll cook for you."
Shen Qingqing said and walked into the kitchen, but she couldn't laugh when she saw the things in the kitchen, there were cucumbers and vegetables, it was no problem to eat for a day or two, but there was no silver at home these days, and the expenses were as fast as running water.
Thinking about it, I still need to go to the market tomorrow to sell chestnuts for silver.
After eating, Shen Qingqing took Xiaodouding to the mountain again.
The changes of people day by day and month are visible, but the scenery on the mountain is not visible year by year, it is still lush, and even though Shen Qingqing has picked so many chestnut trees in that area, it seems to be inexhaustible.
For this kind of thing of picking chestnuts, the two of them have long been familiar with the road, and the harvest is full in two hours, Shen Qingqing returned home, boiled some syrup to make sugar fried chestnuts, and made some dried chestnuts.
Glutinous rice dumplings need to be eaten hot to be delicious, if you want to sell for a long time, you need some tools, there is not so much silver taels in the family to buy tools for the time being, and I am afraid that it will not sell well, so Shen Qingqing did not do it.
The next day, when it was just dawn, Shen Qingqing took an ox cart to Jiudaoguan Town, this time she did not go to the market, but searched for it according to the address given by the guy some time ago.
To say that this Shen Qingqing's luck is really good, some time ago when he was selling chestnuts in the bazaar, he met a guy from a big family, he thought it was a short-term business, but he didn't expect that when he bought and sold for the last time, the guy directly left Shen Qingqing an address, and how many chestnuts fried in sugar were sent to this address.
Shen Qingqing thought that this family would be difficult to find, but he didn't expect to ask one or two people casually.
It turned out that this family was a well-known local rich family, a well-known landlord, and it was easy to find.
Shen Qingqing walked in, just looked up and saw the extreme grandeur of the mansion construction, the five or six meter-high gate was painted with brown-red paint, and there was a guard and a stone lion on one side of the door, quite a feeling of deep courtyard.
The little guy at the door watched Shen Qingqing linger at the door, just glanced at it and began to speak viciously: "What are you doing here as a woman?" ”
Shen Qingqing hurriedly spoke: "I'm here to deliver something to your master." ”
"Delivering something?" The two boys glanced at each other, and one shook his head like a skinny monkey. "I haven't seen it."
Another guy also spoke: "Whether our mansion is delivering tea or vegetables, we all know each other even if it is a swill picker, why don't we know you?" ”
"This ......" Shen Qingqing miscalculated one thing, and forgot to ask the guy's name at that time, and now even if he wants to sign up, there is no way.
"Who doesn't know that our Master Liu is rich these days, and all cats and dogs are here."
Seeing that the little girl was about to come down and drive her away, Shen Qingqing only needed to take out the sugar-fried chestnuts in the back basket: "I'm here to deliver chestnuts." ”
I thought this trick was useless, but I didn't expect the little guy to stop moving, and the two of them didn't know what to say, so one ran in.
The other person spoke a lot more politely: "Sister, wait a minute, we didn't know you were sending chestnuts just now." ”
"It's okay." Shen Qingqing hurriedly waved his hand.
In less than a while, the little guy came out of it, and greeted him politely with a smile: "Sister, my lord has been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up and go in." ”
"Wait for me?"
Shen Qingqing didn't understand at first, but she didn't understand until she saw Master Liu.
Mr. Liu's mansion is built with the taste of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with pavilions and pavilions, carved dragons and painted columns, and a mountain and a water are all entrances, which is very stylish.
The subordinate took Shen Qingqing to the living room and went out, and there was a person sitting on the main seat in the living room early.
I saw that the clothes on this person's body were silk brocade, and he wore a hat inlaid with night pearls on his head, and he was very festive.
"You're the woman who made chestnuts?" Master Liu saw Shen Qingqing unexpectedly, I heard from the guy before that the chestnut seller was a woman, I originally thought it was a country woman with a red face and tattered clothes, but I didn't expect that the person who came was white and clean, and she didn't show her timidity when she entered the mansion.
Master Liu instantly had a good impression, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to serve Shen Qingqing a cup of tea: "When I first ate the sugar fried chestnuts you made, I thought it was very delicious, very sweet and fragrant, and I didn't wait for you for a few days." ”
When Shen Qingqing heard this, he was flattered: "This was originally a small snack I made casually, but I didn't expect to be so favored by Master Liu." ”
Master Liu felt that Shen Qingqing's speech was very level, and smiled: "People are old, just this hobby, they can eat a little." ”
"It is a blessing to be able to eat, and it is a blessing to be able to eat." Shen Qingqing said, and hurriedly took out the sugar-fried chestnuts in the back basket, and when he opened the kraft paper just now, it was full of aroma, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of chestnuts.
When the subordinate stepped forward and just wanted to weigh it, he didn't expect that Master Liu seemed to be unable to wait, grabbed a handful of sugar-fried chestnuts and began to peel them: "I don't need to weigh these things, I'll give you a total of 200 yuan." ”
"Two hundred?" Shen Qingqing's mouth has grown, and these chestnuts are only one hundred and fifty at most, I didn't expect Master Liu to be so generous. "Master Liu, isn't this okay?"
Master Liu put the chestnuts in his mouth and said with a smile: "In the past few days that you haven't come, I have been talking to the housekeeper every day about why you haven't come yet, I thought I couldn't eat this thing, but I didn't expect you to come again, I am happy in my heart, so I will give more." ”
For Shen Qingqing, it is a lot of silver taels, but for Master Liu, it is just a reward of silver.
Shen Qingqing was not polite, and directly handed over the sugar-fried chestnuts to the housekeeper, Master Liu smiled and squinted, and his face was piled up like Maitreya Buddha: "This is still a sweet tooth, or a sweet tooth." ”
Hearing this, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but keep an eye on him.
