Chapter 43: Mu Dongzhi's worries

Shen Xiuyuan couldn't laugh or cry, the little daughter-in-law's means of managing people were really not covered.

He didn't teach her this, he could only say that she was too smart.

Wang Dapang and his group of eight people were full of energy, and they had to make bamboo strips when they came in the afternoon.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, it was faster and better than in the morning, and the bamboo strips were almost piled up in a room.

Mu Dongzhi felt that they were much more reliable than the old guys who lived in Wang Genzhu, so he began to teach them to weave bamboo baskets.

It's okay for these people to be stupid, but they can't do clever work.

So it's very hard to teach.

However, Mu Dongzhi is patient and takes the trouble to teach them one by one.

They also study very seriously.

Just kidding, this is going to be sent to the palace, can that be wrong?

Maybe it's because they're too nervous, so after a few compilations, they have to ask Mu Dongzhi if it's right?

Mu Dongzhi took the trouble to teach them.

In the end, Wang Dapang said: "Winter Solstice, do you think this is okay?"

We'll come here to make it up on the spot, and if you don't know where it is, you can teach us again.

We went home and forgot about it, and it was not good to deal with it when there was really something wrong.

As for wages, let's make one for two copper plates. ”

Mu Dong Solstice is choked, if they make their own bamboo strips, they can make up to three a day.

"Yes, sister-in-law of the Shen family, do you think this will happen?" Wang Damao also asked.

Mu Dongzhi didn't have an idea for a while, looked at Shen Xiuyuan and asked:

"Brother Yuan, do you have any good suggestions?"

"I think they can do this, but they have to get the bamboo strips themselves, and you can pay for the wages."

Mu Dongzhi also thought that they would be very slow to make bamboo strips by themselves, so he said:

"Well, you make it up first, and make it up one by one.

After the bamboo strips are gone, you will go to make the bamboo strips together, and on the day of the bamboo strips, I will count you as fifteen copper plates a day, what do you think? ”

Wang Dapang didn't expect her to give them a salary increase, where is there anything unhappy?

They immediately responded.

So, they started weaving baskets that day.

Mu Dongzhi didn't care about weaving grasshoppers here, and he also followed Shen Xiuyuan to learn lettering.

Mu Dongyang is now engraved very quickly, and all three words will be engraved.

Shen Xiu was willing to teach her when he saw this.

Mu Dongzhi thought that it would not be difficult to engrave at first, but when he actually carved it, he found that it was not so easy.

It's really hard to earn.

Everyone has their own work to do, and the family is gossiping about shiso.

She was busy cooking, but Dongmei said that she still had an injury on her arm and couldn't cook.

Shisu was moved to tears, so she went to pick up the needle and thread, and she embroidered Dongmei.

Anyway, the embroidery is not very hard.

After dark, Wang Dapang and the others went home for dinner.

After eating, there it was again.

Mu Dongzhi didn't expect them to be so motivated, and said, "You have all been busy all day." ”

Wang Dapang said: "We want to come at night to make bamboo strips, so as not to delay our work during the day." ”

Mu Dongzhi didn't know what to say, anyway, he felt full of heart.

Without saying a word, Shen Kuan took them up the mountain.

Mu Dongzhi still wanted to continue carving, but Shen Xiuyuan said: "You better weave the basket first, there are already a lot of bamboo strips with words." ”

Mu Dongzhi saw that the room where they were sleeping was already piled up, so he sat down and began to weave it.

Dongmei was busy weaving grasshoppers, and Shiso was busy making needlework.

Shen Kuan pulled the bamboo back and plucked the leaves.

When Mu Dongzhi saw the leaves of bamboo, he immediately thought of a way.

I wonder what the water dyeing from the boiled leaves of bamboo will look like?

When she told Shen Xiuyuan her thoughts, Shen Xiuyuan said, "Let's dye some first." ”

Mu Dongzhi immediately pulled the bamboo leaves back and put them in the pot to boil, and the boiled water was green and a little yellow.

Mu Dongzhi saw that the color was too light, so he simply pounded some leaves with a rolling pin, wrung some fresh juice and put it in the juice boiled out.

It looks green, but it's not the same as the green of the grass.

She cut a piece of her cloth and soaked it.

Wang Dapang and the seven or eight of them had already made a lot of bamboo strips, so they went home to sleep.

The next day, Dongmei came back and said to Mu Dongzhi:

"Second sister, the seeds of the fungus in the vicinity are almost finished by us."

Mu Dongzhi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there nothing at all?" ”

"There's still a little bit left, I'm afraid it won't be long next year."

"Then I won't pick this tomorrow, and when I use up the existing ones, we'll pinch the fungus leaves later."

Mu Dongzhi thought that the fungus vegetables were fat and tender, and there was a lot of juice, and the color dyed was definitely darker than the grass.

She ran out of fuchsia paint here, and really didn't look for it again.

The nearby fungus vegetables were almost given to Huo Huo by them, and she was not at ease if she ran farther.

Wait until the work in hand is done before you think of other ways, if you really can't find the dye, then you don't dye it.

However, the cloth she dyed with bamboo leaves is yellow-green and yellow-green, which is very beautiful.

So she boldly used this dye, and if the shopkeeper Hong couldn't look down on it, then she would keep it for herself.

However, the leaves of the fungus are dyed in a similar color to grass, and the color is darker than that dyed with grass juice.

She thought it would work, so she asked them to pick some and dye six.

They were busy until August 15.

Mu Dongzhi counted the two hundred bamboo baskets with words that they had already made, and there were about a hundred or so bamboo strips with words.

August 20 is impossible to complete.

She doesn't want to make more grasshopper money now.

It's nice to be able to finish the basket.

Although she was worried, she still had to spend the holidays, so she said to Wang Dapang and them:

"It's August 15 today, you don't have to come over in the afternoon, go back early for the holiday."

Wang Da Fat, they also have this intention.

"You're not happy." Shen Xiuyuan said suddenly.

Mu Dongzhi sighed and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to finish the goods that Master Wu wanted." ”

"You can do as much as you can. When he signed the contract, he didn't say when the delivery would be made, so it didn't make sense for him to say that it would be done twenty years ago. Shen Xiuyuan said.

Mu Dongzhi was stunned for a moment, she was illiterate and didn't understand these things.

"Can't he win even if he goes to the Yamen?"

"Of course."

Mu Dongzhi's eyes when he looked at Shen Xiuyuan suddenly lit up, and they were full of admiration.

Adored by the little girl, Shen Xiuyuan felt that he was amazing.

"If I knew this, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we don't even bother to buy mooncakes. ”

Shen Xiuyuan said: "My brother has gone to the street, maybe he will bring moon cakes back." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Huang rushed out.

Shen Kuan is back.

Carrying a frame on his back, with a winter night on his head.

"Big brother took the winter night to the market?" Mu Dongzhi asked in surprise.

"Hmm." Shen Kuan put down the winter night.
