Chapter Twenty-Six: A Carpenter Who Can't Paste Paper Is Not a Good Embroiderer

Qin Huaijin came to deliver the fabric, and when Shen Xiaoyu saw it, he said, "It's enough, I'm afraid it's too much, but we will keep the rest of the materials and return them." "They don't take advantage of others, otherwise the business would have been stalled a long time ago.

"Okay, it's money for clothes." Qin Huaijin gave the money and said, "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough." Shen Xiaoyu said: "It's all too much. "Then look for money.

Qin Huaijin grinned, and Shen Xiaoyu looked at Qin Huaijin and smiled: "What are you smiling at?" ”

Qin Huaijin said: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm happy when I look at you, I don't know what's going on." ”

Shen Xiaoyu pouted and said, "Just pick it up in a few days, but wouldn't it be easier for me to send it to your house directly?" "Just look at the stupid son of the landlord!

"I really don't need to, I'll get it myself." Qin Huaijin said, he also knew in his heart that sooner or later Shen Xiaoyu would have to know, he still wanted to be able to hide it from one day at a time.

Qin Huaijin left, Shen Xiaoyu put away the fabric first, put on the good brocade, and didn't touch a handful.

Father Shen said at this time: "This young master still comes to patronize business. ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "Usually I just buy some small things like handkerchiefs, but it's the first time to make clothes." ”

Father Shen asked: "We have been doing business in Liaoyang City for a long time, why haven't we heard of any other rich and noble family surnamed Qin?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu shook his head: "There are many people in Liaoyang City, and there are so many people in the city, and there are many people who can't be named." ”

Father Shen said: "That's what I said, let's do the work first." Then he continued to weave bamboo baskets.

When it was about to be withdrawn at noon, a family did white things, and a lot of goods were ordered in Shen's father, and as soon as Shen Xiaoyu saw that the business was over, he quickly wrote down what everyone wanted.

"I don't seem to have enough paper at home, so I'll buy some." Shen Xiaoyu said that he went to the paper shop on the next street to buy paper, and asked Lu Butterfly to wait for her here for a while, and when she came back, they would go home together.

Lu Butterfly waited for a while, and when she saw Shen Xiaoyu coming back with a big mule's paper, she went up to help.

"There's a lot of color on this paper." Lu Butterfly said.

Shen Xiaoyu said: "This is a paper paste, do you dare to touch it?" After speaking, he smiled and looked at Lu Butterfly.

Lu Butterfly asked, "What is paper paste?" ”

"Paper people, paper horses, chicken coop banners, all for the dead!" As soon as Shen Xiaoyu's words fell, Lu Butterfly hurriedly put the paper on the table, not daring to touch it again. At the thought that it was for the dead, Lu Butterfly felt numb.

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Thinking too much, isn't it?" Actually, it's just paper! "What can paper be afraid of?

Lu Butterfly looked at Shen Xiaoyu sorting out the paper so calmly, and said, "Xiaoyu, you are so bold!" "Don't say she's a little girl, boys of the same age probably can't stand it.

Shen Xiaoyu said: "In order to make some money, you will understand in the future that in order to support your family, no matter how small your courage is, you will become bigger." ”

Lu Butterfly was deeply touched by Shen Xiaoyu's words, and nodded.

The three of them cleaned up their stalls and went back, and Shen Xiaoyu rushed to work when he got home. Cui Fenglan was not idle at home all morning, she worked when she was free, and after lunch, Shen Xiaoyu took the sewn clothes and the fabrics under her and sent them to the Lu family.

Lu Butterfly was very satisfied with the clothes, and deliberately asked Shen Xiaoyu to make the most ordinary style at that time, but because of the fine stitches, it was also very comfortable and soft to wear.

Shen Xiaoyu hurried home after delivering the clothes, and there was more work waiting for her after that.

Daddy Shen took the bamboo and split it into thin strips, Shen Xiaoyu burned the paste, and in one afternoon, the paper work was finished, and it was just handed over tomorrow after a night of drying.

"Xiaoyu, you're tired, I'll do this clothes." Cui Fenglan saw that Shen Xiaoyu had been busy all afternoon, so she wanted to come over to help.

Shen Xiaoyu smiled: "It's okay, I'm not tired." The customer also asked if I did it, and I said yes. "I'm afraid it's not good to change hands again, and this Young Master Qin looks like the family has money, she has to make clothes well this time, if she does it well this time, maybe next time other people's clothes will be made by her!

Cui Fenglan saw that Shen Xiaoyu was doing a good job, so she took the basket and continued to embroider the handkerchief purse.

Shen Xiaoyu saw that it was too late, and she was afraid of hurting her eyes, so she only cut the cloth of her clothes, anyway, people were not in a hurry to wear them, she just did it slowly and leisurely.

Huanghuali wood has reached the stage of carving, all kinds of small files are taking turns, Daddy Shen watched from the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Shen Xiaoyu is the bowl of rice with craftsmanship.

What he taught was nothing more than some methods of cutting bamboo and turning bamboo, but Shen Xiaoyu liked to carve some small wooden horses and small animals when he was fine, and then he followed the carpenter to learn the craft for a few days, and now he can become a teacher by himself.

Shen Xiaoyu is also self-aware, it is not easy for a carpenter to become a teacher, and it takes three years to learn from the master and then work for three years for nothing to become a teacher, and she has only watched six years of kung fu for a few days.

But she is not afraid, the skills are not very exquisite, then the details determine the victory. A carpenter who can't paste paper is not a good embroiderer.

After the patterns were drawn on the pear wood, Shen Xiaoyu carved them one by one, for her, these things would become meals on the dinner table in the future, and the labor made her tireless.

Early the next morning, as soon as Shen Xiaoyu came out of the house, Lu Butterfly came, and when he entered the door, he said, "Xiaoyu, you can taste it!"

Lu Butterfly's face was excited, her eyes were still red and bloodshot, Shen Xiaoyu was startled!

"Butterfly, what's wrong with you?" Shen Xiaoyu asked, then looked at the plate brought by Lu Butterfly, and said, "Didn't you even sleep to make this steamed cake?" ”

Lu Butterfly rubbed her temples: "I'm not sleepy, I've been getting it until now, it just so happens that your family hasn't eaten it at this time, so give me a taste first!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu took the steamed cake, and the wafting heat carried a sweet smell.

"You sit and wait for me!" Shen Xiaoyu asked Lu Butterfly to sit behind the table first, and then went into the house and called Father Shen and Cui Fenglan up.

Father Shen was wearing shoes, Shen Xiaoyu said to eat, Cui Fenglan still wondered: "I haven't cooked dinner in the morning, what are you eating?" ”

"Come on, Butterfly is going to sell steamed cakes, and I want us to taste it!" After Shen Xiaoyu finished speaking, he went out first.

The three members of the Shen family plus Lu Butterfly all sat around the table after a while, Cui Fenglan looked at the steamed cake and praised it: "This steamed cake is so good, it is so transparent." ”

Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly took the chopsticks and the bowl, and each person grabbed a piece and began to "taste".

The white steamed cake is kneaded with sesame seeds, and it is fragrant and soft when you bite into it.

"Hmm~, fragrant, delicious, not sweet and greasy, how can it be so delicious!" Shen Xiaoyu said: "It's not blowing, I haven't eaten your steamed cake in the three streets of the market, if you want to sell it, it will definitely be popular!"

Lu Butterfly is happy, as long as it can be fired!

"But how much are you going to sell for this steamed cake?" Cui Fenglan asked, she also thought it was good.

Lu Butterfly calculated the cost in her heart, and then said, "I want to sell it for four cents a piece." ”

When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he shook his head: "I'm afraid that four yuan is expensive, and the meat bun is only five copper coins, if it is expensive, I'm afraid that the business will not be able to go up." "Prices are not the same now as they were three years ago.

Lu Butterfly made a difficulty, and the cost was not low, so he could only reduce the price.

"Then I'll pay five cents for two, and when it sells well in the future, I'll talk about the price increase." Lu Butterfly said, small profits but quick turnover, as long as the business is delicious, why worry about not making money?

The Shen family nodded, the five cents were much more reliable.

"How much did you make?" Shen Xiaoyu asked.

"It's not much, it's a bit of a failure after a busy night, if I sell it at the market, I have to do more, and now there are not enough pots at home." Lu Butterfly said: "I'll take some scrap over in a while, the taste is fine, but the appearance is not good, I can't finish it, don't dislike it." ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled: "How can you dislike it, you don't have enough to eat!" ”

A few people smiled, and Lu Butterfly took the empty plate and went home first, and there were still many things to do after that.

After the Shen family finished eating, they were ready to go to the city, Shen Xiaoyu rummaged through the pile of wood in the yard before leaving, found a few pieces that looked good, and kept them for Lu Butterfly to make a shelf in the afternoon.

At the stall, Shen Xiaoyu began to sew clothes, the cloth had been cut, and then it was sewn, the fabric was good, and she was also careful to put the needle, for fear that it would not look good if she left a needle.

Xue Yijun came every once in a while, and when he saw that Shen Xiaoyu had embroidered a new veil, he picked one by himself, and Shen Xiaoyu didn't want money.

"Make clothes every day, you are not tired!" Xue Yijun said disdainfully.

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "One day, Miss Xue will also come to make a set?" I promise you a nice sew! ”

Xue Yijun was speechless: "Our family invited a big tailor from a big store, not much better than you, where can I use you?" ”

"Yes, yes, Miss Xue, naturally you can't use my vulgar craftsmanship!" After Shen Xiaoyu finished speaking, he continued to sew his clothes.

Xue Yijun looked carefully at the clothes in Shen Xiaoyu's hand and frowned: "This cloth ...... How does it sound familiar? ”

Shen Xiaoyu looked at the fabric and said, "This material is indeed a good fabric, it should be sold by Dabuzhuang, Miss Xue must have a little impression of the fabric of Dabuzhuang." ”

Xue Yijun was skeptical, and finally said, "Yes." "Can you come to Shen Xiaoyu to make clothes, what other rich and noble people can be?

Xue Yijun left happily, Shen Xiaoyu continued to sew clothes, Shen's father sold a lot of bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets that morning, and the business was even better than hers.

As soon as noon arrived, Shen Xiaoyu bought some vegetables at the stall, and the grandfather went home.

Cui Fenglan washed her clothes at home, and when she saw Shen Xiaoyu coming back, she said, "Wash your hands and eat." ”

Shen Xiaoyu put down the guy's business and sat down to eat, and the days when someone at home cooked were really "beautiful".

In the afternoon, Shen Xiaoyu continued to carve the screen, and Cui Lao Cui Cai's body was better, so he went out to bask in the sun and walked around.

"It's a good craft." Cui Lao Xiucai said.

Shen Xiaoyu saw that Cui Laoxiu was fine, so he said, "Grandpa Cui, I suddenly remembered something!" ”

Cui Lao Xiucai asked, "What's the matter?" ”
