Chapter Twenty-Four: Pointing Out the Art of Embroidery

In the past two days, the four sisters and brothers have been digging bamboo shoots and drying bamboo shoots, and they have been very busy. The two sisters were drying bamboo shoots in front of the house, this was the last batch, the previous ones had been dried, and they packed two large bags in cloth bags, about 200 catties. Before, I stewed pork with dried bamboo shoots, and a few small ones were immediately conquered by the deliciousness of the dried bamboo shoots, and the bamboo shoots were also very energetic.

Quietly doing the work in his hands, thinking about things, the food at home can still be eaten for ten days and half a month, and he also has twelve taels of silver in his hand. Another month is about to be sown in spring, and the villagers are all in the field to start preparing the land. The quiet family didn't have an acre of land, so she wanted to buy the sandy land next to the house so that she could grow some sweet potatoes or something. In addition, the courtyard wall must be fenced off quickly, so that she can go up the mountain to hunt, and she will feel more at ease when the children are at home. Before the rainy season comes, you have to build a new house. Now the four walls of the house are a little sloping, and it is quiet even if it suddenly collapses one day and hits a few children. And after Mai Qiu, she plans to send Jiaming to study in the academy in the town, and she needs money everywhere. Just what to do? What can I do to make money quickly? She would have done the same for farming. But that would be too slow to make money, and besides, she had no land to grow now. She's not like other traversers, she has any golden fingers. She doesn't know any recipes, she doesn't know any medical skills, she can make wine, she knows a little bit about female celebrities, but it's only limited to making clothes or something, and she can't embroider. She can do kung fu, but there are no female coaches or female darts these days. If you think about it, then there is only...

Quietly turned his head and looked in the direction of Daqingshan. A long sigh in my heart, alas! It seems that she should be a hunter, and she is suitable for being a hunter. Besides, this big green mountain is continuous, and there are many wild beasts, and there will definitely be no shortage of medicinal herbs or something. Guarding such a treasure mountain, with his own skills, he doesn't believe that he can't find the opportunity to make a fortune. When you have a goal in mind, you have peace of mind.

It's night, and the lights are like beans.

The two little ones ate dinner, practiced calligraphy for a while, and then fell asleep, sitting quietly under the quilt with the soles of their shoes. The needle and thread go through the sole of the shoe, making a clattering sound. Sitting under the lamp with peace of mind, embroidering the veil in the bright light. The embroidery is indeed very good, but the embroidered things are not three-dimensional enough, and the patterns are not novel enough. After thinking about it quietly, the modern embroidered cheongsam, as well as the popular cross-stitch, those patterns are three-dimensional and novel, and they look like the real thing.

So, Jing Jing pointed to the peony flower on the embroidered handkerchief and said: "Xin'er, look at this flower, the blooming petals are old, the color will be lighter, and the later petals will be thicker when they are tender." Just like we see things, what enters is clear, and what is far away is blurred. You said that according to this reason, the embroidered flowers will look much better? "In fact, I don't understand the principle of three-dimensional embroidery, but the color and level of this flower are different after all.

The relief is highly savvy in embroidery. I really like embroidery, and my understanding is much stronger, and if I am quiet, it is like opening a door for her, so that she has been greatly inspired by it, and she secretly blames herself for being bound by the previous embroidery rules, how can Xiuyi be the same? No matter when, no matter what, change is the way, and the stick is kept. Blindly resting on one's laurels can only regress. Only continuous innovation and continuous breakthroughs will make progress and improve, but she is stupid at this time.

Quietly looked at the peace of mind in contemplation, thought about it and said: "Second sister, I want to go to the mountains again tomorrow, the family only has more than ten taels of silver to start the house, the courtyard wall, none of which is enough." I'd like to see if I can get a big guy, or pick some herbs or something. It's just leaving the three of you at home, I'm a little worried. Otherwise, you can take the two little ones to Huaihua's house tomorrow, and I'll pick you up when I come back in the evening. ”

An Xin opened his mouth without raising his head and said, "Sister, be careful when you go up the mountain yourself." When it comes to building a house, don't rush, take your time. I took my third brother and fourth sister at home, and I didn't go anywhere. Don't worry about us, I have figured it out now, the weaker you are, the more you tolerate, the more others will bully you. If there is really that person who is not long-eyed, and dares to come to our house to find fault, I will cut off his leg with a firewood knife. ”

Hearing Anxin say this, Quiet was very relieved. This man has to make himself strong at all times. In this way, others will not and will not dare to come and insult you. "Okay, tomorrow you take the two little ones at home and be careful, plug the door from the inside, I may come back later, don't worry about me at home." Eat when it's time to eat, and don't wait for me. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Quietly dressed in neat men's clothes, carrying a bow and arrows on his back, a cloth bag and a dagger pinned to his waist, walked briskly towards Daqingshan.

At the foot of the mountain, many children and women were already digging wild vegetables and collecting firewood. Among them were the dog and his mother.

"Oh, who am I? It turned out to be a quiet girl, this is going up to the mountains to hunt? To say that the men, women and children in this village are not as powerful as you and a female doll. This Daqing Mountain, it's not ordinary people who dare to enter, that is, you girl. In the future, if your brothers and sisters have endless meat, don't forget your aunt and me, the oldest in our family, but we are still eating bran vegetables. Besides, this Daqingshan belongs to the entire Qingshan Village, and the good things on this mountain have to be shared by everyone. You say that's right, don't you? Even the sarcastic words came out of the dog's mouth. She was jealous and quiet in her heart, thinking that a few children would be kicked out without food or drink, and she might be down. But now look, people are not only well fed and warmly dressed, but they also bought a car of things in the market a few days ago. I went to the town to sell a big wild boar two days ago. In fact, most of the people in the village have similar ideas as the dog girl, but no one says it.

Quietly looked at the dog mother, raised her eyes and swept again, looked at the women in the village here, and said coldly: "Of course what the aunt said. Isn't this Daqingshan the entire Qingshan Village? Of course, everyone has a share in this good thing. It's just that no matter how big this green mountain is, no matter how many good things there are in it, some people have to have that life and dare to take it? If anyone wants to get the idea on my quiet body, then they will have to weigh it to see if his skin is thicker than a wild boar? Can you stand up to my bow and arrows and knives? After speaking, he didn't pay attention to the dog mother and the women, and his face turned pale with fright. Continue walking up the hill.

Quiet had good luck today, only halfway up the mountain, he caught two pheasants and a hare. He pulled a handful of grass, rubbed the straw rope, tied the pheasant and the rabbit tightly around his waist, and continued to walk deep into the mountains with a dagger in his hand.

In the endless mountains and forests, quiet and agile figures shuttle quickly. A wild goat, running past in front of him, quietly bent his bow and arrows, and shot at the goat that was running hard, and with a wail, the goat fell to the ground. Quiet ran forward and pulled out the arrow stuck in the goat's neck and threw it into the basket with his backhand. He pulled a handful of hay, wiped the blood from the goat's body, and shook it vigorously with both hands, and the goat was firmly on his shoulder. This goat is not small, it must weigh seventy or eighty pounds, and it should be able to sell for a lot of money in the town. Thinking about it like this, Quiet smiled contentedly. With this smile, the pear vortex on his face is shallow, and his peach blossom eyes are sparkling.
