"For the first time, let's make sixty-six pounds first. The picture is auspicious, 66 Da Shun "Luozhi Road," the day after tomorrow is the town's set, let's start doing it now just in time. ”

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

After discussing for a while, the adults weighed out seventy catties of peanuts, selected them first, and picked out the bad and deflated ones, leaving only the full ones. Fourth Uncle Mu and Mu Jia'an took a big wooden basin, filled it with water, poured peanuts into it, and Aunt Mu Si, Mu Ying, and Luozhi stacked their sleeves high and began to wash the peanuts, cleaning the soil and impurities on the skin of the peanuts.

There are many people with great strength, and everyone takes turns scrubbing, and it takes three or four times to change the water in a row before the peanuts are cleaned.

Then, it is used as a sauce to soak peanuts into the flavor, which is the most critical step.

Before Luozhi came over, he had already prepared a marinade bag at home, sewn a simple cloth bag with clean gauze, and now just throw it in, this boiled peanuts have to be soaked all day before they can taste good, and now you can leave it alone.

Aunt Mu couldn't stay idle, and when she had time, she took out a fine white cotton cloth and began to collect mille-feuille soles for the Luozhi family.

Speaking of mille-feuille bottom cloth shoes, Luo Zhi thought of the mantra of the old Beijingers in his previous life: the horse gathers the source on his head, the foot rises inlinely, he wears eight auspicious things, and his waist is wrapped around the four constants. The "foot stepping on the inline" here means that being able to wear the cloth shoes made by the inline is a kind of showing off of identity. In addition, Beijing's Buyingzhai, Tongsheng and are also Beijing selling mille-feuille bottom cloth shoes time-honored brands, they use strict standards of materials, workmanship is extremely exquisite, to these stores can buy the inheritance of a hundred years of craftsmanship of pure handmade mille-feuille shoes. Luozhi went to Beijing to travel in the previous life to buy the same liter of cloth shoes, nearly a pair of oceans, at that time the pain of her flesh was so bad that she can't do it, now wear this ancient time, but really wear the original mille-feuille shoes made by hand.

Luozhi thought to himself, this begging for someone to get for a while, but not for a lifetime, he still has to learn to make shoes and sew clothes. Aunt Mu Si is very good in these two aspects when she was a girl in her mother's family, Luo Zhi wants to learn, she immediately agreed, in ancient times, this tailoring and making shoes is one of the powerful standards for studying whether girls will be good at home, Luo Zhi has no mother's teaching, Mu Si Aunt is happy to take her to do it together.

Aunt Mu spoke softly and began to teach Luozhi step by step, Mu Ying already knew the basic steps of embroidering shoes, but the technique was not proficient, and she also accompanied her to learn.

The mille-feuille sole is the mille-feuille cloth shoe, which is named after its image because the sole is framed with white cloth and stacked in multiple layers.

The first step in this sole is to make a jacket. Aunt Mu Si put the paste boiled from the fine white cotton cloth with white flour layer by layer, took the pig/hair brush and pasted it together, brushed a layer of paste and pasted a layer of cloth, pasted it to about 1.5 mm, and dried it into a cloth board, commonly known as "playing a jacket". This jacket must be made of good cotton and white cloth, and it is resolutely not used to wear hemp, silk and red cloth.

The hemp and silk texture is non-sweat-absorbing and breathable. As for the red cloth can't contain the soles of shoes, it is a superstition of everyone, for fear that walking with a red cloth bottom will attract unclean things.

After Aunt Mu demonstrated, she let Luozhi do it, don't look at her small, but her hands are very skillful, plus she often does housework, there is a softness in her hands, except that she is a little unskilled at the beginning, and it is already very sticky in the back, so happy that Aunt Mu said that she was born to be a girl who can run a family, Luozhi heard her comment and burst into tears.

The three women brushed their arms until they were sore, and it was over. While waiting for the cloth board to dry, Aunt Mu Si explained the process of making shoes in detail to Luozhi and Mu Ying.

Jacketing is the first step of the sole, followed by the bottom cutting, edging, bonding, ring bottom, bottom, mallet bottom and other processes. The workmanship of mille-feuille bottom cloth shoes is complex, the process is complicated, the skill is profound, the difficulty is large, it takes a long time, and the craftsmanship of the people who make shoes is strict, the production of each pair of shoes has to go through the cutting of the bottom sample, filling the mille-layer bottom, cutting the bottom edge, cutting the shoe bon, the shoes, the last shoes, the sub trimming edge, the foot test and so on nearly dozens of processes, making a pair of comfortable shoes often takes four or five days of work.

Luo Zhi took the uppers of more than 20 pairs of shoes at once, and it is conceivable that Aunt Mu has too much work. Luo Zhi made up his mind that he must learn it as soon as possible, so that he could do it in his free time, and not always trouble Aunt Mu.

The weather is good at night, the cool breeze is blowing, and the cloth board can not be used immediately, so it should be placed in the sun for three days, dried, sun-dried, and the cloth board can be removed as a semi-finished product when it becomes hard.

said that he would come over tomorrow to continue learning to make uppers, and Luozhi's family went home together, and Mu Ying followed Luozhi together.

Fourth Uncle Mu and Fourth Aunt Mu are happy for her to be with Luozhi, and they are close to each other, Luozhi is a smart child with a seven-trick heart, and Mu Ying has become a little more sensible with her.

When he got home, the old man put the chicken and duck feathers that Luozhi wanted in the back cover room and left it open to dry, and Luozhi went into the stove room to boil hot water.

The family carried out seven washes: bathing, washing face, washing hair, washing teeth and teeth, washing white, washing incense, and washing clothes. Luozhi must brush his teeth before going to bed every day, otherwise he will not be able to sleep.

Luo'an also developed a good habit with Sister A, although the two were often brushed by willow branches until their teeth hurt or their gums bleed, they still persevered every day.

Today's seven washes are all for the purpose of wearing new clothes, and finally the family does not need to wear linen coarse cloth, and they all change into delicate clothes made of fine white cotton, which are particularly soft and comfortable, and Luo'an is even more happy to roll on the bed, and he says that it is very comfortable, and it is not prickly at all.

Luozhi is not a stingy person, she opened the cabinet and gave her two sets of coats and skirts according to Mu Ying's preferences.

"Luozhi, this, is this really for me?" Mu Ying asked in surprise with wide eyes, looking at Luo Zhi in disbelief.

Luo Zhi was wearing a moon-white bedclothes, and her face looked thin and white under the clear moonlight, which made Mu Ying look straight in the eyes.

"Of course it's for you, what, you don't like it! If I don't like it, I'll take it back and wear it myself. He teased her and wanted to take it.

Mu Ying suddenly got up from the bed, raised her dress high, and laughed happily: "I have new clothes." If you say it's mine, don't you want to take it back. Hey, Luozhi, you're so good to me! ”

In the back, the girl was crying and laughing, almost waking up the old man next door, Luo Zhi hurriedly asked her to be quiet, and the two laughed together on the bed.

When he got up the next morning, the three old and young masters of Old Man Mu each changed into new coats and pants, and their spirits were very different.

During this time, Luozhi's good dishes and good meals made every day were finally not in vain, the sallow dishes on everyone's faces were gone, and they all showed a bright light, and then put on this new clothes, hey, they are all like the old man and the little master.

Luozhi is not very good at wearing ancient clothes, Mu Ying laughed at her clumsiness, and after helping Luozhi put it on the side, she looked up at Luozhi and was stunned.

A light blue dress with a little bit of roses embroidered on it. It is covered with a rose red tulle tunic and a pure belt tied around the slender waist. There are a few small jade beads inlaid on it, which is beautiful and elegant. Luozhi casually inserts a wooden hairpin into a simple bun, which is simple and elegant. A white and pure face, beautiful eyes are embedded in it, the eyebrows are just rightly curved, and the two small red lips and the white of the skin are more distinct. A pair of small dimples are evenly distributed on both sides of the cheeks, and with a shallow smile, the dimples loom on the cheeks, as cute as a fairy.

Such a clear and shallow outfit, simple but beautiful, fresh and elegant, such a Luozhi is better than everyone Mu Ying has ever seen.

"Why are you staring at me stupidly? Isn't it weird that I'm dressed like that? Why don't I change my body? Luo Zhi said that her aesthetic taste for ancient clothes is still being cultivated, and the high wearing of this skirt also makes her quite uncomfortable.

"Don't change it, it's so beautiful. I didn't expect such simple clothes to look so good on you, Luozhi, you are really a little beauty," Mu Ying tidied up her belt, and straightened the hem of her skirt, and the two walked out of the room hand in hand.

Luo Zhi appeared in his yard and suppressed the three old and young masters. As the saying goes, Buddha relies on gold clothes and people rely on clothes, in the past, Luozhi wore dusty linen clothes and linen pants all day long, with two crooked buns, and never dressed up as a delicate girl.

Ah Shu stared at Luozhi and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, the old man coughed twice, he still didn't respond, and was woken up by the old man Mu directly slapped him, and the old man couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Ah Shu, who was beaten, was not angry at all, and opened his mouth to Luozhi and said, "Okay...... Look, eat...... Pack. ”

Luozhi ......

Luozhi understood in seconds, this guy was hungry and wanted to eat big meat buns.

"Luo'an, come here," Luo'an happily came over and stood in front of Sister A, the royal blue robe was not big or small, it was just right, and the little guy was extra energetic, Luozhi smoothed the corners of the slightly wrinkled robe for him, and asked him to take Ah Shu to dig earthworms for chickens and ducks to eat, and went to the stove room to start making breakfast.

Yesterday, Luo'an and Ah Shu shouted to eat the big meat buns, and Luozhi simply made more, except for the one sent to Butcher Zhang, and left it to eat at home.

Mu Ying got new clothes, saying that she took them home for A-Niang to see, but she went home without even eating breakfast, sure enough, no matter what era, it is a common problem for women to love beauty, and they can't change it after thousands of years.

The old man took the peanuts out and dried them in the yard, and dried them in the sun while the sun was shining.

"I'm going to chop firewood today, Luozhi, you pack me a few meat buns and bring them, I won't come back for dinner at noon today, back and forth," the weather is getting colder and colder day by day in autumn evenings, and the old man wants to save as much firewood as possible, and the family needs a lot of firewood for the winter! This is a big deal, and there is no room for delay.
