Chapter 33: Smashed by star fruit
The silkworm eggs bought by the trustee are indeed a batch of good eggs, no, there are also silkworm eggs hatching larvae today, not much, Chen Wen moved their nests.
By the way, I observed yesterday's leaves, and they didn't all eat them, but Chen Wen thought, the leaves will not be fresh after a night, right?
So Chen Wen came out of the firewood house to pick mulberry leaves for them in order to let them eat fresh leaves.
But when I touched it, there was still dew on the edge of the mulberry leaves, Chen Wen was a little surprised, there was dew in the early morning in summer......
The larvae eat the young leaves, but if they eat the leaves with too much water, they will have diarrhea.
Chen Wen was also not sure if the dew was dry, so Chen Wen did not plan to pick it for the time being, and planned to pick it later. After all, eating a bad stomach is much worse than not having to eat at all.
Li Suniang saw that Chen Wen only touched the leaves twice and didn't pick them, so she went back to the house and sat down, feeling strange, "Why didn't you pick them?" ”
"There is dew on the leaves, pick it later."
"What's wrong with the dew?" It's normal to have dew on the leaves early in the morning.
Chen Wen waved his hand, "Silkworms can't eat too many leaves with water, they may have diarrhea." "She can't take risks, silkworms die easily.
Li Suniang smacked her tongue, it was really expensive.
While waiting for the time to feed the silkworms, Chen Wen decided to make clothes first.
Take out the needle and thread and a few fabric flowers prepared earlier from the sewing basket, unfold the lower skirt, put it on your lap, and put a few flowers on the skirt in an orderly manner, and then change the position when you are not satisfied.
Then it was decided to sew the flowers on the side.
A dozen stitches back and forth will be sewn up, and as long as you don't pull vigorously, these flowers are still very strong.
It didn't take much time to finish all the sewing, Chen Wen quickly did it and collected the needle.
Put the needle back in the needle case, stand up and fold the skirt in half, and compare it on yourself first to see the effect.
Fortunately, well done.
"I'm done!" Chen Wen said loudly to Li Suniang.
Li Suniang sat on the bed and took the soles of her shoes, and when she heard this, she put down the work in her hand and looked up, and her eyes lit up.
It's the first time she's seen flowers on her skirt, oh...... If it weren't for Chen Wen, she wouldn't have known that there were such clothes, which was really a novelty.
"Beautiful!"
Li Suniang admired, and at the same time sighed with some emotion, when she was young and married, the wedding clothes she wore were still worn by other people's families, and her mother's family bought them cheaply, but she was dressed in red, and she didn't even have a pattern.
Later, because of the bad harvest, I couldn't eat enough, and it was useless to keep it, so I sold it to others cheaply.
Not to mention when she was young, even in the past few years, she hasn't seen any married girl wearing a good-looking wedding dress, and the same pair of mandarin ducks can be regarded as festive.
"There's something better."
Chen Wen put the skirt on the back of the chair casually, took out the jacket that had already been made, and showed it to his grandmother.
Chen Wen only showed Zhang Shuhua the semi-finished product, so even her grandmother did not see the finished product.
She was so satisfied that she had to share her results with her grandmother first.
The moment the clothes were unfolded, Li Suniang couldn't hide her surprise, she was speechless, she opened her mouth unconsciously in a daze, and only reached out to touch the embroidery on her clothes after a long time.
There is no comparison, I really don't know that Xifu can do this, and it looks so good!
She also thought that Chen Wen put all her energy on that skirt, even that simple skirt was already beautiful, but she didn't expect this top to look a hundred times better than the skirt.
That girl Shuhua is really lucky, with Chen Wen's help, she caught up with a good time!
This dress, if you look at it from a distance, will praise it, the embroidery on this dress is really exquisite, and if you look closely, you will find that the embroidery is very smooth, and there is no knot.
If it weren't for Li Suniang watching Chen Wen embroidering every day, no one would dare to say that a thirteen-year-old child has this embroidery skill?
Li Suniang couldn't help but say with pity: "I knew that I wanted the same price as Li Xiu'er at the beginning." ”
After speaking, Li Suniang paused, remembering that a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered by Li Xiuer cost more than one or two pieces of silver, which was simply not at the same level as Chen Wen, and denied what she had just said, "It's not too much to ask for five taels." ”
Chen Wen's heart jumped with joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Such a compliment is the greatest affirmation of her in the past few days.
"This is just a please, what does it matter how many silver taels." Hearts cannot be measured by money.
Of course, this is more due to Zhangjiacun's willingness to take him in, everyone is from the same village, so they took the trouble to make a dress seriously.
If it were another village, sixty copper plates would definitely not work, and five taels would not be something that anyone in the village could pay, but how could it be ...... Eighty pieces!
When grandma had enough, Chen Wen folded the clothes and put them together, sat on the edge of the bed and went through the cabinet, ready to find a piece of cloth to wrap up, so that she could send it to Sister Shuhua in a while.
With his hand, he touched the extra piece of cloth.
Suddenly, she remembered that Sister Shuhua seemed to ask her to make a hijab......
Chen Wen exhaled heavily, almost forgot!
It seems that this square scarf cannot be returned to them, and it will have to be used as a hijab.
Chen Wen took out the square scarf, took out scissors, and cut the block to cover his head.
Li Suniang saw her pick up the scissors again, and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you going to do?" "Didn't you say it's all done?
"Make a hijab!" Chen Wen's eyes didn't blink, for fear that he would cut it crookedly.
"Hijab? Let's not cover our heads! ”
When Chen Wen heard this, he stopped his movements, "How can you not cover your head?" "Didn't you have to pick a hijab or something to marry in ancient times......
Li Suniang didn't care, "Only the young lady in the county town will cover the hijab when she gets married, we countrymen, what kind of hijab do we get married?" Don't waste the cloth. ”
"But ......," Chen Wen hesitated, "Sister Shuhua said that she wanted a hijab." ”
"Shuhua wants?"
"yes." Chen Wen shook his head and continued to move the scissors.
She suddenly understood why Sister Shuhua was hijab...... Although the village is not prosperous, since it is the owner's family, no matter what the reason, she has to do it well.
After cutting the hijab, Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over.
After laying out the clothes neatly and neatly and putting them in the baggage, Chen Wen stretched his waist and went out of the house.
There was no dew on the mulberry leaves, so Chen Wen tiptoed, picked a few good-looking leaves, and picked them off.
As soon as I picked a piece, I was hit the head by something.
"Ah......h
Chen Wen covered her smashed head and looked down, wanting to see what hit her. Then, I saw the star fruit that had been smashed to pieces on the ground.
A star fruit that is already ripe.
Chen Wen looked up in surprise and looked up.
Because I've been paying attention to the mulberry tree lately, I forgot about the star fruit tree planted next to it, so I only now see that the star fruit is ripe.
Chen Wen had eaten unripe star fruit, and when he thought of its sour taste, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Ripe star fruit should be sweet, I want to eat it.
