Chapter 34: A Pair of Skillful Hands
The proprietress looked at Qin Zijin in surprise and took out ten taels of silver without hesitation and put it in front of her, and then replied with a helpless smile, "You kid is too sincere, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to pit you?" ”
Qin Zijin responded with a well-behaved smile, "I see that you are a good person, and besides, don't you pay attention to honesty when doing business, you can't run away when your store is open here, and you can still deceive me." ”
The proprietress who said a few words was very useful, and she accepted the money and replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to me, and I promise to do it for you." ”
After that, Qin Zijin discussed with the proprietress the colors she wanted, and the proprietress enthusiastically sent Qin Zijin out of the door.
Qin Baoli held a bundle of red ropes in her hand, and after holding it for a long time, she finally had a chance to speak, "My God, ten taels of silver, you will give it if you say it, where did you get so much silver, and what do you want to do with those colored ropes?" ”
Qin Zijin hurriedly opened his mouth and instructed, "Don't tell about the silver and colored ropes, otherwise you won't make money." ”
Qin Baoli stopped, turned her head and looked at Qin Zijin with a worried expression, "Your silver won't come from the wrong way, right?" ”
Qin Zijin stretched out his hand and nodded Qin Baoli's forehead, and replied with a smile, "What are you guessing nonsense?" The silver was changed for my fifth aunt's jewelry, shhh, I didn't even say it to my eldest brother, I told you, don't say it. ”
Qin Baoli breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned again, "That's your dowry jewelry, how can you be it?" ”
Qin Zijin replied helplessly, "Isn't it poor and can't do it, don't worry, when you make money in the future, you can buy whatever jewelry you want." ”
The things had already been taken care of, the silver had been spent, and Qin Baoli couldn't say anything, so the two of them took the red rope and went back to Hongtu Village.
Qin Baoli didn't go home, and went directly to Qin Zijin's house, just in time for lunch.
Qin Baoli was not polite, she stayed and had lunch together, and then she and Qin Zijin gathered under the osmanthus tree in the yard, watching Qin Zijin start to tinker with the red rope.
Xiaobao also gathered around and looked curiously for a while, and then he didn't have the patience to run out to play with his friends.
It was the Lu family, who cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks for Qin Wen's family, saw the two people together, looked at the red rope in their hands, and asked, "Are you going to tie the rope?" ”
Immediately, I saw Qin Zijin holding a red rope, flying in his hand, and Qin Baoli on the side solved the confusion for the Lu family, "Zijin said to weave a bracelet for me first." ”
Lu Shi looked at Qin Zijin's familiar movements, and the half of the wound that had been formed and had a special shape, and he couldn't move his footsteps.
A single-color woven bracelet couldn't be simpler for Qin Zijin, and it didn't take long for a red delicate bracelet to appear in front of their eyes.
Qin Zijin personally brought it to Qin Baoli's hand, Qin Baoli's whole eyes lit up, but Qin Zijin was a little regretful, and muttered, "If you decorate it with a little crystal beads or something, it will be even more beautiful." ”
Qin Zijin didn't know much about whether there were crystal beads and other decorations here, but judging from her observation of the situation here, even if there were, I was afraid that it would be sky-high, and it was not something that ordinary people like them could afford.
Maybe something else could be found instead? Stone? It's not good to polish, and it's definitely not cost-effective to be time-consuming and laborious?
Immediately, Qin Zijin's eyes lit up, the stone is not easy to polish, the wood is easy, and then dyed in various colors, although it is not as beautiful as crystal beads, pearls, agate, etc., but it is cheap and affordable.
Just when Qin Zijin was immersed in thinking about her wooden beads, Qin Wenshi didn't know when he also came over, looked at the red bracelet on Qin Baoli's wrist, and said in surprise, "Nannan, this is what you came up with?" ”
Qin Baoli pushed Qin Zijin, and Qin Zijin came back to his senses, after all, the sudden nickname of Nannan was still a little unfamiliar to Qin Zijin.
Qin Zijin nodded and answered, "The color is a little single, and you can add some other accessories to make it more perfect." ”
Qin Wenshi said, "It turns out that it's not a tie, this thing is quite fresh, you can try it." ”
Qin Zijin responded with a smile, "Luozi is naturally going to fight too, so I'll call one for you to see." ”
After seeing Qin Zijin's bracelet, Qin Wen's and Lu's were interested, and the two of them simply found a stool to come over and sit down beside her, watching her play a knot.
Looking at it, they found that the yarn in Qin Zijin's hand was completely different from the ordinary yarn they saw.
The pattern is complicated, the shape is special, and when the finished product comes out, it is actually a delicate red rose, with tassels under the rose, and the lanyard braided above is also the shape of a small flower.
This kind of rope is naturally much more time-consuming than the bracelet on Qin Baoli's wrist, but several people are reluctant to blink when they look at Qin Zijin's movements.
Qin Zijin shook the yarn in his hand in front of several people, and asked, "How is it, do you think it sells well?" ”
Qin Baoli replied with excitement on her face, "There is still such a network, it's so beautiful, I definitely want to buy one." ”
Qin Zijin replied proudly, "What if it is matched with other colors?" ”
Qin Baoli stood up excitedly, "I said why do you want to order the color rope, if you change it to various colors, it's just, it's amazing." ”
Qin Wenshi was also excited, "Nan, I didn't expect you to have such a pair of skillful hands." ”
Qin Zijin took the opportunity to behave, "Maybe this pair of skillful hands inherited from you, grandma." ”
Qin Wenshi waved his hand, "Don't lift me up, I can't play well with ordinary connections, since you have this ability, don't worry about this, I can only talk about the affairs of the family." ”
Qin Baoli hugged Qin Zijin's arm excitedly, "Quick, teach me quickly." ”
Qin Zijin replied with a helpless smile, "You can't become a big fat man by eating in one bite, you have to start practicing from a simple one." ”
For this craft, Qin Zijin is very familiar with it, it is completely a series of "just look at it, do it and waste it", you must practice carefully for a long time in order to practice makes perfect.
Immediately, Qin Zijin looked at the Lu family on the side, "What about you?" Do you want to learn? ”
Suddenly asked, Lu Shi paused, and then hesitated to answer, "I won't learn." ”
Qin Zijin saw that the Lu family obviously had his own considerations, but he didn't force it anymore, so he nodded, "Then you can help my grandma, she is old." ”
Qin Wenshi snorted coldly, "What, this makes me old?" ”
Qin Zijin responded with a smile, "Look at what you said, don't I feel sorry for you, I'm afraid that you will be tired?" ”
Qin Wen's family just teased Qin Zijin casually, and now that she sees that her granddaughter is sensible and knows that she has made money to support her family, she is happy in her heart, and the whole person is clear, and it is a lot more pleasing to the eyes when she looks at the Lu family.
