Aunt Ran Jia tells the story of Kyoto, including the emperor sitting on the dragon chair in the palace, the beautiful palace concubines, the ladies and ladies of various families, and many delicious and fun things in the capital. Of course, there are also some travelogues, codexes, etc. that Ran Jia reads from books, each of which makes this group of dolls full of curiosity and yearning for the world outside Xiaomeng Village.

They studied harder and harder, not only to complete Professor Ran Jia's task, but also to think about how to make some money to reduce the burden on their families, and by the way, they could enter the regular school earlier to improve themselves.

All of this is cultivated by Ran Jia subconsciously, if a person wants to be promising, it is not to force him to learn, but to make him eager and urgent for a higher world, so that he has the strength to strive upwards and has persistence in his heart, so that he can have everything better.

However, all the future is built on the basis of strong knowledge, and only when a person's starting point is high can they fly far.

The children remembered every word of Ran Jia, and they encouraged and competed with each other to learn, like sponges, unwilling to give up the opportunity to learn from her for a moment.

Ran Jia did not shy away from the children, pursed her lips and smiled and said to Meng Qigu: "Mother," although they recognized their relatives, they had to follow the relatives who were serious, and the word "dry" was too unfamiliar, so they all avoided calling each other affectionately. "I embroider double-sided embroidery, which belongs to the craft that is not passed down, and this set in Kyoto is at least nearly a thousand taels of silver, and the city gives a not so high price, so it can't be less than two hundred taels."

Two hundred taels, not twenty taels or two hundred wen, Meng Qigu felt that she was old, and her ears were hallucinating.

The children's faces were a little dazed, they had never seen a whole piece of silver, and they had no idea about two hundred taels of silver.

Meng Qigu felt that the almost weightless embroidery on her hand was overwhelming, she nodded solemnly, and said with a solemn face: "It can't be less than two hundred taels, otherwise it will ruin this craft!" ”

This time, she had to run in person, and she had to see her son-in-law tell her face to face.

After embroidering the small kang screen, Ran Jia was ready to rest for a few days to teach the children to tie the knots. This can be done by both men and women, and it will not be as feminine as embroidery. Many people's little daughters-in-law and daughters in the village will play with the line, but over and over more than a dozen, the price of the town's embroidery shop is getting lower and lower, and it would be good for three to have a penny, but in their spare time, the big guys have nothing to do, so they gather in a bunch of chatting and doing work, a penny is also money, and they can also throw out the cost to earn seven or eight pennies a day in a hurry. More than 200 wen a month, buy more than ten catties of pork!

This big guy is still hiding and not teaching others, for fear that others will understand, and the price charged in the shop will be lower.

The children heard Ran Jia teach them to talk, not to mention that the girls were very excited, and the boys did not have the slightest resistance. They firmly believe that Ran Canon can embroider such a realistic and beautiful flower kang screen, and he will definitely be able to crush everyone in the pattern of the rope.

What's more important is that they can use this as a way to make money after they learn it, three people sell it for a penny, and one of them can't sell it for a penny? If they had been quick and diligent, they might have been able to enter the school earlier.

Ran Jia does not hide her selfishness, and sorts out some of the simple and commonly used yarns of her own association on paper with strokes, but she will have more than 70 kinds of the most basic weaving techniques, and the combination of different techniques, the meaning of expression, shape, etc., can give birth to many changes.

Children are too young to learn too much style. She only sorted out some kinds of finished products with good meanings that seem complicated and beautiful, but they are simple to weave.

She started with the most basic weaving techniques, let them practice repeatedly, and when they found the feel and knitting were compact and neat, they were blindfolded to practice, and the flexibility of the fingers could exercise the brain and develop intelligence.

Several children of the Meng family are well educated, and they are also deeply influenced by their maternal great-grandfather and grandmother, and they are very different from other children in the village, they know how to be polite, obedient and intelligent, and more importantly, they have a heart that does not admit defeat and is motivated. Who doesn't like such a child and doesn't want to teach them?

In three days, each of them had a rough and broken thread in their hands, and they had mastered the twenty basic weaving methods, and were able to combine them at will to weave into beautiful simple patterns. The combination of the basic arrangement alone is higher than the others, and they thought to themselves.

They all know the basic method, Ran Jia began to explain the weaving of complex finished products, but it is a clever combination of basic weaving methods, some are weaving words, some are weaving flowers, plants, birds and beasts, some are good knots, and some are buckles on clothes. As soon as she said it slightly, the children opened their mouths and were amazed at how simple it was so complicated and beautiful, and everyone's hearts were even more enthusiastic.

They followed Ran Jia and weaved it again, without any difficulty, although they were not as neat as Ran Jia's weaving, but they were enough to meet the standard of store acquisition.

Ran Jia alone gave them a ten-cent line, and said with a smile: "In the future, you and I still have to study seriously, and we must be dedicated here, and we will work together when we get home." You also have to be very serious when you play the game, and you must know that the effort is directly proportional to the gain.

When all your winding threads are used up, maybe your second brother-in-law, who is a seller and knows the goods, will accept it directly, and if it is not good, you will hand it over to him, so that when he goes to Fucheng, he will take it and sell it to the embroidery house to buy back more winding threads.

I'll start by saying it, this line is lent to you, and when you make money, everyone will have to pay back your aunt's ten cents, is it feasible? ”

The little guys all hugged the line tightly and nodded excitedly, sighing, the second brother-in-law's vision is high, he can't even look down on the goods in the town, and he has to go to Fucheng to buy goods every time. According to grandma, the second brother-in-law's eyes are poisonous, but whenever he picks up the items he sells, there is nothing that cannot be sold, with good quality, new styles and suitable prices.

"Little aunt, can we sell it for two cents for one network?" The eldest girl is nine years old, and she can use it for half an adult. The village chief's family is harmonious, the concubines are considerate of each other, and the children also play together, and they all follow their sister to help the family beat pigweed, collect firewood, dig and dig wild vegetables, and there is almost no need for adults to bother.

The little girl has begun to contact the family's livelihood problems, and she has a small abacus in her heart, but she is a village girl in the end, and her vision is fixed on this yellow earth. Not to mention that other people's ten-dollar winding lines are ten times more than this, and one rope uses fewer lines, so they may not make a profit selling two yuan.

Ran Jia smiled and nodded her forehead with her plain hand, "If you don't have ten pennies, you won't sell it, but when you have more money in your hands and you are proficient in weaving, you can buy better winding threads, and you can also string all kinds of beads, gold, silver and jade objects into it, and the selling price can be raised a lot." ”

Ten Wen?! The little ones looked at each other, and looked at the threads in their arms, which could be woven into five or six, so wouldn't they be able to deduct the ten cents they owed to their aunt and put them into their accounts forty or fifty cents? If you take forty or fifty yuan and then buy the yarn, next time, they have recently learned arithmetic, and they all began to count excitedly with their fingers, more than two hundred yuan?

Wow, they study seriously with the little aunt all day, and they can also weave two or three moderately difficult yarns at night, and there are about twenty wen, which is much more powerful than the adults.

There are huge interests for them tied in front, and the children's black and white eyes are full of brightness and enthusiasm!

Ran Jia rested for a few days, and she hadn't thought about what to embroider, she only had one or two silver in her hand, did she have to lower her posture first to earn some money and then raise money to see her sister-in-law and nephew?

Just when she was thinking about it, Meng Qigu came to the door with a young couple, the woman she recognized as the second daughter of the Meng family, the man who was dressed in a short fight and always had a shrewd face and always had a three-point smile was afraid that it was the second son-in-law of the seller who was very capable in Meng Qigu's mouth.

Ran Jia hurriedly smiled and welcomed people into the courtyard and poured a bowl of brown sugar water for everyone.

"Jianizi doesn't have to be busy, it's all a family," Meng Qigu pulled Ran Jia and asked her to sit down next to her, and drove a bunch of small beans to the yard to play, and said with a smile.

"Yes, girl, you see that our mother is good-hearted, but she is very picky, and it is rare for her to treat her so heartily, you are the first one. She recognized you, and our whole family treated you as a sister-in-law, which is really welcome. ”

Ran Jia nodded with a smile, and obediently called out to the second sister and second brother-in-law solemnly again.

Second brother-in-law Meng took a big sip of water first, paused slightly, and said with a smile: "My sister's craftsmanship is really good, although I am only a seller in ten miles and eight towns, but I have more experience than ordinary farmers, that is, the embroidery of the clothes on the old and young masters in Fucheng is less than half of your embroidery."

The girl said that the minimum kang screen was two hundred taels, hey, the embroidery shop in Nafu City turned out to be at this price.

Naturally, I couldn't agree, I didn't even have a bargaining posture, I turned around and left.

The girl's skills are very powerful, the shopkeeper of the first embroidery shop in Fucheng estimated that he was counting on you to make a lot of money on this set of kang screens, he saw that I didn't eat this set, and directly trotted down with a fat body to stop me, staring at my expression and stretching out his fingers at me.

From three hundred taels to a little higher, until eight hundred taels, he smiled bitterly and said that no matter how high it is, he has no money to earn. ”

This second brother-in-law Meng is a capable person, and he has also been praised by the people in the family for his love to show off, for the effect of this, he held back all the way, but he didn't say a word to the mother and daughter of the Meng family. He took another sip of brown sugar water.

"Eight hundred taels?" Second Sister Meng and Meng Qigu both gasped and repeated in a low voice, they really couldn't imagine that the kang screen embroidered in two months could sell so much, maybe they couldn't earn it in their lifetime.

"You should go?"

Second brother-in-law Meng waited for Second Sister Meng's words, he smiled and shook his index finger, "How is it possible, that shopkeeper will ask for two hundred when he comes up, and he is still staring at my expression and raising prices, it is not sincere at a glance!" ”
