Chapter 42: Making Matryoshka Dolls

"The third year of junior high school." Jiang Sancui ignored the fleeing Li and Tao, dropped the firewood knife in his hand and hurriedly helped Lin Chusan up, "I'll see where she hit you." ”

"No, just pick my hair, do these ancient people only get their hair when they fight, every time!" Lin Chusan muttered and rubbed his head.

Jiang Sancui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was not injured, "This Li clan is really not a thing, and he will do it if he doesn't agree with him." ”

"Who's to say it's not, I still cut my hair every time, and next time it's like this, I'll just shave it bald." Lin Chusan stroked his hair and puffed out.

"Hey, if you're bald, you won't be able to find a young man." Jiang Sancui made fun of Lin Chusan while serving Lin Chusan.

Lin Chusan raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile: "Yo he, it seems that it's not me who wants to find the young man, it's someone?" ”

"Go, go, go."

Jiang Sancui handed the porridge to Lin Chusan, and her face was a little shy by what she said.

"After eating in a while, I want to go cut some bamboo." Lin Chu said while drinking porridge.

"Do you want to be a nesting doll?"

Lin Chusan nodded, "Well, you can't sit back and eat empty, I'm saying that there is still a little money left and it's not enough to live." ”

In fact, her strength is not handicrafts, when she was a child, her mother enrolled her in many art classes, and she only knew a little about piano and chess, she was in economic management in college, but she was really good at painting and clothing design, and she also knew a little about building houses.

After the meal, Lin Chusan and Jiang Sancui cut a lot of bamboo together, and there was one on the edge of the shack, so it was not troublesome.

The file was gone, and the two went down the mountain to get two more baskets of file.

After finishing all this, it was already noon when the sun was overhead, Jiang Sancui went to cook, and Lin Chusan continued to work on the things in his hands.

Making nesting dolls out of bamboo is very simple, you only need to cut bamboos of different thicknesses.

Lin Chusan first cut the bamboo into sections, and then rubbed off the outer skin with a file, and placed them neatly from coarse to fine.

The basics are simple, but the coloring is a little difficult.

Jiang Sancui was cooking, and when she looked back, she saw that Lin Chusan's eyebrows were full of tenderness and joy, and she smiled slightly, and she hadn't seen Lin Chusan's expression like this for a long time.

"Be careful, don't file your hands, the file is very rough."

"Got it." Lin Chu answered without raising his head, and his fingers quickly turned the bamboo in his hand.

After lunch, Lin Chusan carried a basket on his back to find plants that could be dyed, and Jiang Sancui left behind to clean up the mess of files and bamboo chips.

I don't know much about the plants that can be dyed, and I have heard from my grandmother.

There is a kind of impatiens that she remembers most clearly, and grandma said that it was their favorite thing when they were young, because they could dye their nails, so they were also called henna.

Now it is spring, there are the most weeds on the mountain, and most of the flowers have just emerged, Lin Chusan walked in the mountains for a long time with a basket on his back before he found some plants with the color of the juice.

Jiang Sancui sat outside the shack, as if a little daughter-in-law was waiting for a lover, and saw Lin Chusan coming back from a distance, and hurriedly ran over, "Did you find it?" ”

Lin Chusan wiped the thin sweat on his forehead and nodded, "I found some, but I don't know if I can match them, and I'm not sure if I can dye them." ”

Jiang Sancui took the basket with a smile, "It's definitely okay, this is your profession." ”

Lin Chusan looked up at the sky, estimating that it should be around four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was really difficult to look at the hour in ancient times, and he touched the time every day.

There are about two hours before it will be dark, Lin Chusan has not rested, if it is put to tomorrow, the water of the plants will flow a lot, so she must get it out tonight.

She put some unnamed plants on the ground, and put the base color and color palette together.

After several hours of tinkering and hundreds of experiments, Lin Chusan finally came up with the colors he needed.

The whole process, she was extremely serious and excited, this is the power of nature, it is the magic of nature.

She looked up at Jiang Sancui excitedly, but saw her leaning on the earthen wall and falling asleep, looking at the sky, it was already dark, and the reason why she could see it was because Jiang Sancui burned a fire next to her.

There was a gurgling sound in the iron pot behind him, and with the salt, the porridge with wild vegetables and meat became fragrant.

She looked at Jiang Sancui, who was sleeping, and was looking at her hands, and suddenly felt a little like a world away.

The appearance of the two of them has changed, and now they are yellow and thin, and they can't tell whether they look good or not, Jiang Sancui is okay, because the original owner is lazy and lazy, and her mother's family is not so poor, so she is mellow and her facial features are also very delicate.

"Ahh Lin Chusanyi accidentally sneezed and woke Jiang Sancui up.

"Why did I fall asleep?" Jiang Sancui opened her eyes and looked around, and then walked to Lin Chusan's side, "Are you cold?" ”

Lin Chusan touched his nose and nodded, "A little, it's still a little cold at night." ”

"Come on in, I'll serve you dinner."

Lin Chusan took the two nesting dolls to the shack and placed them next to the stove pit under the earthen kang, instead of putting them outside to dry, it was better to dry them by the fire, so that they should be able to sell them tomorrow.

Jiang Sancui came in with rice, and when she saw the nesting doll that Lin Chusan was fiddling with, her face was happy, "Wow, this color is so beautiful." ”

The matryoshka doll made by Lin Chusan is a red base, yellow hair, and more beautiful is the big blue eyes, extraordinarily long eyelashes, and small red lips, which look particularly pleasing.

Due to the material, the whole matryoshka is much larger than the modern one, but it doesn't matter, the ancients have never seen the genuine one.

"Go to town tomorrow and see how much you can sell."

Lin Chusan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was also very satisfied with what she had made, this was the first time she had completed a handicraft under the humble conditions of nothing, and it was a completely different experience from a modern handicraft class.

"Well, it's definitely going to sell, it's so cute, even a modern person like me."

"I'll make a good one for you next time, these are all test products, plus the dye is incomplete, let's make do with it." Lin Chusan said as he ate.

Jiang Sancui smiled and glanced at his mouth without speaking.

Early the next morning, Lin Chusan opened his eyes early, went down to the kang and touched the nesting dolls, and sure enough, they were all dry, and the color was not blurred, which was very good.

"The third year of junior high school, are you going to the town so early?" Jiang Sancui sat up and got dressed with sleepy eyes.

Lin Chusan hurriedly stopped her, "Don't go, it's just two nesting dolls, I'll do it myself, I'll bring you back whatever you want to eat." ”

Jiang Sancui shook his head, "I'll be with you, it's still dark, I don't worry about you going down the mountain by yourself." ”

"You stay, what if the Li family comes while we're away?"

Jiang Sancui thinks about it, although there is no silver at home, but there are still two beds in the bedding, she and Lin Chusan can't go to the town with their luggage!

"Then be careful yourself."

"Hmm." Lin Chusan nodded, got off the kang and ate the leftovers casually, and then carried the back basket down the mountain.

The moonlight was very bright, shining on the black shadows everywhere in the woods, Lin Chusan couldn't help but speed up his pace, and ran to the bottom of the mountain to face the big house again.

Lin Chusan sighed in his heart, he had to buy a house first to make money.

When passing by the house, a white flag was erected inside, and Lin Chusan had already prepared for it, so he was not frightened.

Still roaring, "Get out!" ”

And the white banner still sounded and it fell, Lin Chusan not only frowned and doubted, what's the matter? The little ghost in there is also like the Li family, who is afraid of the soft and afraid of the hard?
