Chapter 101: Motherhood
"Isn't that good?" Zhong Xiu took the piece of brocade from her sister-in-law's hand, and said excitedly: "I originally thought that ordinary people like us would only weave a few pieces of homespun cloth at most, but I didn't expect that after coming to my sister's place, kudzu linen, silk satin, and all kinds of cloth of various styles have been woven, not to mention, and they can be dyed with their own hands." (Every day Chinese.) (.coM) Now I have to weave a brocade with you again, oh my God, this ...... This was a year ago, I really couldn't think of it, good sister, teach me this method, and in the future, I will weave every day and night, and I will weave three horses for you in one day. ”
"You think this is weaving those homespun cloths, three horses a day." Ruan Yunsi shook her head amusedly: "If the brocade is so easy to get, where can it be sold at such a high price?" I've been weaving all afternoon, and it's only this little piece. If you really want to weave a brocade, Chapter 101: Motherhood, I'm afraid it's good to be able to weave half a horse a day. If the pattern is more complicated, you can't even weave half a horse. Okay, okay, I'm just experimenting now, and when the time comes, I will naturally teach you this craft, do you just want to make rice worms and eat rice? There's no need to rush at this time, let's cook first, and we'll talk about brocade weaving tomorrow. ”
Although Zhong Xiu and Bi Qiu felt itchy and just wanted to weave a piece of brocade now, they also knew the truth that they couldn't eat a fat man in one bite. Because I had to go out, I couldn't hide my excitement.
Yun Niang rushed to fish out a big carp from the bucket, fell on the board, the fish jumped twice and did not move, she took out the knife, skillfully cut open the belly of the fish, and took out all the goods inside, and was working hard, when she heard a sharp scream, only scared that she almost took off the knife.
"Little Green, what is your name as a bear child? It scared me a lot. "Wait for the screaming people to see clearly. Yun Niang couldn't help but glance at her angrily: "It's not to clean you up, look at how crazy you are." ”
"You killed my fish, you killed my fish."
Xiao Lu pounced on and hugged Yun Niang's thigh. Pushing her angrily, he yelled like an angry wolf.
"Yo, when did this become your one hundred and one chapter: The Fish of Motherhood?" Yun Niang didn't take his strength seriously. Hearing his words, he couldn't help but be very funny, and said with a smile while scraping the fish scales: "This is the fish caught by my brother Nan, how did it become yours?" What about yours? Do you want to raise it if you don't eat it? ”
"It's just to keep it, it's to keep it, and my family used to keep fish in the pond. (.)” Xiao Lu looked at Yun Niang angrily, fighting for the right to survive for "his fish", this kid completely forgot about going to his own pond to catch those precious goldfish with a fishing rod at every turn when he was at home. If the goldfish in the pond in the house knew that the little demon star who didn't know how many of their kind had harmed them would one day be overflowing with sympathy, I don't know what they would think.
"That's your home." Yun Niang rolled her eyes, kept moving her hands, and said, "You have a pond at home, but I don't have one at home." ”
Midori looked at the front and back yards. It is true that there is no pond, and for a while, the "arrogance" couldn't help but be a little shorter, and pouted: "There is no pond, just ...... Just dig one, anyway, it's not troublesome, you can also raise lotus roots. The lotus root slices are delicious. ”
Yun Niang laughed and said: "Listen, we are really children of rich and noble families, do you think we are also a rich and noble eunuch like your family?" Is the pond dug when you say it's dug up? Digging just to eat lotus roots and see lotus flowers, where do we countrymen have this mind? After saying that, Zhong Xiu and Biqiu both covered their mouths and snickered.
Ruan Yunsi saw that Xiao Lu's face turned pale with anger. The big eyes glared at Yun Niang viciously, and the tears were rolling in her eyes, but she refused to fall. She felt funny, so she hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Xiao Lu and said to Yun Niang: "Okay, why bother with him?" It's just that you're wrong. In front of a child, he killed such a lively fish, no wonder he felt uncomfortable. Well, I see that Brother Nan has caught a lot of fish today, don't we have several large water tanks in our yard? Pick one to make a fish tank, put a few fish in it, and put these shrimp in it as well. ”
Xiao Lu's eyes suddenly lit up, hugged Ruan Yunsi's neck and kissed her on the face several times, and shouted: "Okay, good, I love my sister the most, or my sister is the best for me, I want to raise fish and shrimp." ”
Yun Niang smiled: "This also makes you go and pick a few, you can't raise all these fish and shrimp?" There are more than a dozen of them here. ”
Ruan Yunsi also raised red carp in modern times, and immediately picked a few male fish and female fish to put into the water tank, and put the dozen white shrimp of different sizes into it, the water in the tank was full, and a lot was scooped out at this time, only more than half of it was left, otherwise the shrimp would pop out.
There are also a few fish left in the bucket, which are wild vegetable fish soup and grilled fish sauce for Yun Niang to clean up the night. Ruan Yunsi was afraid that Xiao Lu would feel sad when she saw it, so she hugged him outside and let him look at the fish in the tank. Just hugged for a while, she was a little unbearable, and said to Xiao Green: "Don't always look at it, my sister can't hold you a little, come down and play for a while." ”
The child couldn't hide his thoughts, and Xiao Lu had these fish and shrimp in the tank, so he completely ignored the life and death of the fish in the kitchen, and jumped around the yard to play happily, and when he entered the house, the clothes were covered with mud and dust.
"You little thing, how do you play like a mud monkey? How can you change your clothes at home now? Yun Niang couldn't help but be anxious and angry when she saw the mud on Xiao Lu's body, but she saw him giggling and said: "It's none of my business, it's rhubarb that pounces on me, and it licks me, hehe, rhubarb likes me very much, and I like rhubarb too." ”
Ruan Yunsi hurriedly said: "That's it, the child must be playful, Xiaolu is still young, and the clothes are not difficult to make, our family is weaving and dyeing cloth, some are fabrics, pick a few pieces out at night, and give him two sets of clothes to change and wear first, the weather is gradually getting warmer, no need to make cotton clothes, save trouble." ”
Yun Niang has no children, in fact, she also loves Xiaolu very much, and she didn't say much after hearing this. So after eating, Ruan Yunsi picked out a few pieces of silk satin to make clothes for Xiao Lu, but heard Yun Niang say: "We country children, what are we doing wearing silk satin?" Going out is annoying, and there are also linen and kudzu cloths at home, just make a few sets for him. ”
Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "That's not what I said, these pieces of material have to be made for him to make underwear, the child's skin is delicate, and Xiao Lu is from a rich and noble family, I am afraid that he will be uncomfortable making Gebu linen." Wouldn't it be good to make the outer single garment with kudzu and linen? ”
Yun Niang thought about it, then nodded and smiled: "It's better for you to think carefully, so let's do it." After saying that, he went to pick up a few pieces of linen, and the four women were busy.
At that time, making clothes was a woman's most basic ability, just like eating and dressing, it was almost an instinct, even Yun Niang, the weaving skill was not very good, but the craft of making clothes was really skillful.
Zhong Nan gave Xiao Lu a bath, and then stuffed his bare ass into the quilt and lay down, the little guy was in the quilt, watching a few women on the kang sew new clothes for him, although those materials were far worse than the silk and satin at home, but he watched quietly, and felt that these clothes were warmer than those beautiful clothes at home.
Ruan Yunsi was thinking about when she could find a way to "invent" cotton cloth, there are very few cotton plants in Dawu now, and the varieties are not good, and some limited cotton is used to make cotton wool, and at this time, rich people like to use fur, so these inferior cotton are used by the people, and occasionally a little high-quality cotton will appear in the homes of some rich and noble.
Ruan Yunsi only knows how to weave and dye, but she also has a general understanding of some ways to improve cotton varieties, once this thing can be planted in a large area, according to her idea, she is confident that she can produce good cotton, although it is impossible to compare with the very good long-staple cotton in modern times, but in this era it will definitely be a blockbuster, cotton is widely used, cotton cloth is also the most comfortable cloth, once planted successfully, it will definitely be promoted, at that time, she is confident that cotton cloth will replace the kudzu cloth and linen cloth in this era.
Because I want to be engaged, I might as well let the needle prick my finger. Xiao Lu hurriedly got out of the quilt, holding Ruan Yunsi's fingers and blowing vigorously, blowing the little drop of blood into a thin blood line.
Ruan Yunsi's heart warmed, but she smiled on her face: "Okay, it's just a prick, what's there?" Don't be so nervous, hurry back to the bed, beware of catching a cold. After speaking, he slapped the little green, white, white and tender little buttocks, and drove him back to the bed, thinking with some emotion: No wonder everyone wants a child, and it is really good to have a little guy who cares. Since I don't want to remarry in my life, maybe I should adopt two children, well, depending on fate, if I can really meet a child who is destined, I will raise it. Alas! It's a pity that Little Green will never be able to stay with me for a long time. Always have to return it to his family, such a precious egg is lost, and the family doesn't know how to worry. ”
After being busy for most of the night, with the concerted efforts of the four women, they actually made two sets of clothes for Xiao Lu, including a jacket, which was worn at this time. Xiao Lu was already asleep at this time, but fortunately he slept in the afternoon and insisted on sleeping until the end of the day. Several people quietly compared his naked little body, and felt that the size of the clothes was suitable, fat and thin, and then he fell asleep satisfied.
Because I stayed up late, it was a little late on the second day. Ruan Yunsi hurriedly said while folding the quilt: "Hurry up and clean up, Brother Zhang is going to transport the materials today, don't be blocked by others, it will be really embarrassing." ”
Zhong Xiu was cooking in the kitchen, while Bi Qiu had just washed her face and was combing her hair in front of the mirror, while saying, "Girl, in this way, our building is about to start building, right?" (To be continued) RQ!!
