Chapter 280: The Center of Gravity and the Guild
The next morning, Sister Li Yue had eaten early, and was accompanied back to Li's house by Wang Siniang and a little girl named Xin'er.
Along the way, all you see are blue brick houses, the original adobe houses have long been invisible, the courtyard-like structure, the courtyard edge, the peach trees on the small hairy peaches, the pomegranate that is like a fire of flowers, see a joy.
"Mrs. did not come back when she was a child, when she killed the pig, the pig rice was eaten from the head to the end of the tun, and it took more than a month to eat. On the one hand, the little girl Xin'er said quickly, the little girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, although the work director is good, but there are still some children in the end, the scenery along the way can be seen day by day, and it is not in her eyes, that heart is still full of remembering the pig killing rice at the edge of the year, and this time it will be introduced to his wife like a treasure.
She is the daughter of a military family here, with more than a dozen brothers and sisters in the family, and she really couldn't support her, so she sold it to the Zheng family, and it was also because the Zheng family was never mean to others.
"I'm sure I'll be able to eat this year." Sister Li Yue said with a smile.
"Huh." The little girl smiled a little shyly, and then carefully followed Madame, and when she saw any stones in the middle of the road ahead, she hurriedly kicked them off first. The old lady said that the sixth lady is inconvenient, and the road should be carefully separated.
Although Sister Li Yue felt that the little girl was too careful, but the kindness of others could not be brushed away, so she smiled and nodded at the core, and the little girl squinted her eyes and was happy in her heart, and she was even more careful along the way.
After a while, he arrived at the door of Li's house.
Far away. Li Laohan was sitting by the door, although his hands were a little shaky, but the work of weaving bamboo baskets had never been put down, and at this time, Mo Feng also moved a small stool to sit next to Li Laohan.
After Huai'an Chen Yu and the two clans case, Mo Feng was going to go on a study tour, but Tian Wen found him and only told him: Filial piety is the first, learn to be a man, and do filial piety first. Don't wait until your son wants to raise and your parents are not there.
In the words of old man Tian Wen. He regretted it.
And the sisters and brothers of the Li family, because of their estrangement with Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li when they were young, and Mrs. Li deliberately estranged them. It's really not very good at this.
So Mo Feng went back to Tongzhou first.
"Don't think it's easy to weave bamboo baskets, let me tell you, there are really few bamboo baskets that can be woven in these ten miles and eight towns, and they can only be used, but they are far from being easy to use." Li Laohan. While weaving a bamboo basket, he said.
"That. How does it work? On the other hand, Mo Feng also carefully weaved the bamboo basket.
"A bamboo basket should be easy to use, in addition to the bamboo to be handled well, the fineness of the weaving, the most important point is the center of gravity, if you compare it to a person, it is the heart of the eye. This person, if the heart and eyes are crooked, you will be more knowledgeable. No matter how good your conditions are, you won't be able to do the right thing, and you won't even be able to make a stink for 10,000 years. And this bamboo basket is also like this, if the center of gravity is not well grasped, it is easy to be crooked. Easy to pour, how can it be easy to use. Li Laohan said. He held up the bamboo basket with a little trembling with one hand, and continued: "Look at this bamboo basket, my hand is trembling, but I hold it, it is stable, why, that is because its center of gravity is stable, as long as its center of gravity is stable, no matter how big the shaking it is, it is stable, which is why those merchants in Tongzhou City who go to sea, they are willing to ask for my bamboo basket." ”
Li Laohan said, his eyes were cloudy, but he was also quite proud, and then pointed to the bamboo basket in Mo Feng's hand: "You hold up your bamboo basket and take a look." ”
Mo Feng looked at Li Laohan, so he held up the bamboo basket in his hand, but before he could raise it, the bamboo basket fell to the side and fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Why is this happening, Grandpa, I just made it up little by little according to what you made." Mo Feng asked in surprise.
"I said, you haven't gotten to the center of gravity yet." Li Laohan licked his lips and said.
"So how do you get the center of gravity?" Mo Feng asked.
"I can't say this well, but there is one point, the mind is calm, not moved by foreign objects, I remember when I learned to weave bamboo baskets with your grandfather, he told me, when this bamboo basket is weaving, others are laughing beside you, you are deaf, when others are playing beside you, you can't see it, count nine cold winters, hot summers, you weave bamboo baskets, don't feel hot and cold, at that time, this center of gravity will naturally come out." Old Man Li replied with squinted eyes.
"I see, Grandpa." Mo Feng nodded cautiously. I just think that although Grandpa's words are ordinary, they contain great truth.
"Grandpa, Mofeng." Sister Li Yue stepped forward to greet her, and the two of them found out about Sister Li Yue's arrival.
"Eldest sister, I heard that you arrived yesterday, I said that you must come over today, the second brother took a day off today, and he didn't go on an errand." Mo Feng said happily.
"Okay, your grandma is in the house, you go and talk to her." Li Laohan also nodded again and again.
Then Sister Li Yue entered Grandma's house. Grandma is sitting on a small bamboo chair, squinting her eyes and sewing small shoes, a tiger-headed tiger.
"Grandma......" Sister Li Yue stepped forward to say hello, but Mrs. Li's ears were already a little back, and she was concentrating on sewing shoes at this time, but she didn't hear Sister Li Yue's voice. Sister Li Yue screamed even heavier, and Mrs. Li raised her head at this time, and when she saw Sister Li Yue, her face also showed a look of joy. But he muttered in his mouth: "I'm back, and I don't rest at home, what are you doing running around with a big belly." ”
Sister Li Yue knows the temper of her own grandmother, and she has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, so she said kindly: "Yes, grandma, I don't run around, just this time I am an exception, let's take a look at everyone, besides, the cicada marries Rong Yan, and I have to discuss some things with the second uncle and second aunt." ”
"Well, that's right, that girl has been with you all these years, but she has helped you a lot, and you can't lose people." Mrs. Li nodded.
"I know." Sister Li Yue nodded.
"Auntie......" At this time, the curtain behind the hall was thrown away, revealing a pleasant smiling face.
"Nan'er, come ......" Sister Li Yue beckoned at her.
The little girl shook her head, but she still only poked out half of her face and smiled.
"What are you doing running out again, don't go back to the house soon. The wind blows, leaving a pockmarked face, and how do you go out to meet people when you see it. At this time, the second aunt's angry voice sounded outside the door.
The girl stuck out her tongue, made a grimace, and then retracted her face, and disappeared in a puff of smoke, this situation was the same as when Yuejiao was a child.
"Sister Yue'er is here, how many months has this body been? That girl is numb. No wind. As soon as the second aunt entered the door, she smiled and said to Sister Li Yue, time is the best healing medicine, and all these years have passed. In addition, Rong Yan is about to get married, which can be regarded as a happy event, and the second aunt is very refreshed and refreshed.
Jin Feng's matter, as long as you don't mention it. If you don't reveal the scar, the pain will fade.
"It's been more than five months." Sister Li Yue replied with a smile.
"Then come back this time and don't leave for a while?" The second aunt asked.
"No, Liulang took a two-year vacation, and we plan to go back to Liuwa and rebuild the Zheng family compound that year. The original land, Liulang has already asked the Wu family to buy it back, and when the time comes, it will be regarded as the fulfillment of the old lady's wish. Sister Li Yue said.
"Yes. If you want it, your grandfather and I are also planning to go back to Liuwa, and I have already asked your second uncle and Mo Yi to pick up Liuwa's house again, and the foundation is still there, and we will buy some bricks and tiles when the time comes. It's a root, this fallen leaf. It has to come down to the roots. On the other hand, Mrs. Li said.
"By the way, what about the second uncle, why didn't you see him?" Speaking of Second Uncle Li, Sister Li Yue couldn't help asking.
"Oh, he's gone to the salt and brine workshop." The second aunt said.
Because of the rapid development of white jade tofu, now the tofu workshop in Tongzhou is made of white jade tofu, coupled with the demand of local branches, therefore, the guild has opened a salt brine workshop to produce salt brine.
At the beginning, the salt brine recipe was in the hands of Sister Li Yue, but later Sister Li Yue followed Zheng Dian outside, and she really couldn't take care of this side, and Mo Yi and Lan'er were not here, and they didn't have that energy, Mo Yi was on the errand of Hecheng, and there was no idle thing on the river every year, and Lan'er, there were a lot of things in the family, and Sister Li Yue's own investment in a few boats also asked her to help take care of it, so in the end, Sister Li Yue gave the recipe to her second uncle and controlled it by him. It also established his position in the guilds.
After all, when it comes to business skills, where is the second uncle of his own family who is the opponent of those people, and only this party is in hand, others can't ignore him, otherwise, it can't be said that Second Uncle Li would have been squeezed out.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Especially since the year before last, after the death of the old president, his son Yan Wanshan succeeded him, so I heard that the behavior is not as regular as before.
"That's right, Sister Yue'er, speaking of this tofu guild, I think it's getting more and more flavorful now, back then, I know, you are a family with limited labor, making tofu is too bitter, so sell the salt brine, and later called President Yan to take a fancy to it, because of this exclusive recipe for white jade tofu, this is the guild, but now the guild has developed, and the people in the guild point to this exclusive recipe, but anyone who wants to make white jade tofu has to pay a share of the money, I heard that the money is a lot, this tofu is a small business, how can it withstand their tossing. And those who have joined the guild can't afford to pay their share, and they want to quit, but they don't let people return, and if they return, they have to pay what liquidated damages, I heard that it's not a small amount, isn't this a desperate way of life? On the other hand, Mrs. Li said with a frown.
"I've also heard about these things, but I don't know very well, this time I just want to ask the second uncle about the specific situation, if the guild really becomes such a bully, then I can't sit idly by." Sister Li Yue said.
