Chapter 147: Sisters Talk
Sure enough, it's different if you work hard, although the talent is really not high, but fortunately, it doesn't stab your hands frequently. Of course, it is still impossible to make clothes, she has just started to take needles and threads, and she is still far from cutting and sewing clothes.
First of all, I learned the flat needle sewing, which is the most common and simple, and this Yunxi has also learned it before, which is the crooked sewing.
"Eldest sister, why don't you cut six pieces of cloth for me, and I'll make a shuttlecock." Yunxi suddenly remembered the sandbag he played with when he was a child, which is called shuttlecock here, so it's better to do this practice first, anyway, you don't have to do how good it is, as long as it doesn't leak and can be used.
"I know how to play, and I can't do anything practical." Yun Jin was looking for rags while chattering about Yunxi, obviously having agreed, this is really unpleasant, obviously things have been done, and it is difficult to be grateful.
Yunjin moved very quickly, he didn't need to find a powder line, he took the scissors and stroked them twice, and the cut was still very square, and the remaining few pieces were quickly cut according to the first one.
"Take it, take it."
"Thank you, big sister." Yunxi happily took it and began her first needlework in ancient times.
Needless to say, the first step is to thread the needle. This Yunxi is good at, after all, he is neither presbyopia nor myopia. Take the needle in your left hand and the thread in your right hand, and put the thread into your mouth and lick it like Yunjin, so that the thread can be hard and easy to pass through the pinhole, and finally the end of the thread is knotted.
The second step is naturally sewn. First take two pieces and sew one side of the seam, and then take one piece to the corresponding side of one of the pieces until it is sewn into a square frame, then sew one end as the bottom, and then sew the other end as the cover.
When you sew to the last edge, you can turn this small cloth pocket over, so that the untidy needle and thread can be hidden inside, so this does not require advanced skills. So Yunxi sewed it very smoothly, and then accidentally sewed all the edges. I had no choice but to remove another edge and re-sew half of it before turning it over.
The third step is to load things, Yunxi chose the hardest grain corn at home as the filler, this is not only not easy to break, but also the sound is not small to play, and it hurts to smash people, Yunxi likes it very much.
It is estimated that the dress is a little more than half-full, and it will reach the most difficult step, which is like finishing a sentence and putting a full stop at the end of the sentence, which seems simple, but it is really to be concise and beautiful, but it is not a simple job. How can the remaining half of the sewing be the same as the other edges, so that no traces can be seen?
Needless to say, Yunxi, a novice, naturally won't, if she wants to sew it according to her wishes, as long as it doesn't leak, it's okay, but no, there is a strict eldest sister on the side, besides, isn't this a great opportunity to ask Yunjin seriously for advice and improve the relationship between the two?
So Yunxi deliberately stitched a few stitches at will, and then frowned and asked Yunjin for help, "Eldest sister, what should I do about this?" Why don't I look right, it's too ugly, it's not the same as the other sides, what should I do? Good big sister, teach me! ”
"I know you won't, so come here." Yun Jin had expected it, and took it over to help with a smile. "You're going to dismantle this first, isn't it too ugly to have such an obvious needlework?"
While saying that, Yun Jin quickly removed the stitches that Yunxi deliberately sewed with his hands and feet, and re-threaded a thread.
"Look at it, this is to use the 'hidden needle method' to close it from the outside to look good." Yun Jin patiently demonstrated, "First fold the unchanged in, as much as this half sewn in, take your nails and brush them, smooth them out and sew them well." ”
"Then the needle is threaded from this side from below, so that the knot is not inside, now aim at this side and wear it, the needle from this side of the cloth to a flat needle, and then from this side of the flat needle, sewing to the end of the knot and cut off, and then use the needle to stuff the thread into it, so that it looks good."
How long can the side of half a sandbag be, and Yun Jin sewed it up while speaking. "Look, what's going on?"
"Needless to say, the eldest sister is naturally good." Yunxi boasted. It's really not that she deliberately slaps her ass, it's really that what people do is better than what she does. The sandbag sewn by Yunxi is obviously not a square, but a rectangle, or a rectangle with a very curved end. If this is to make furniture, it is naturally safer to have a curvature than not to have an arc, but she makes a soft cloth sandbag, and the cut cloth is obviously square.
The time to work is not short, and there are a few needles and holes in the fingers, so I made such a four-like sandbag? Yunxi felt very frustrated, "Eldest sister, how long will it take me to study to be as good as you?" Look at the sandbags I sew, this is too ugly, isn't it? ”
Seeing his sister's depressed and depressed appearance, Yun Jin comforted her in a rare good mood, "It's okay, aren't you a beginner?" Is this the case at the beginning? ”
"Then eldest sister, did you do this at the beginning?" Yunxi asked.
"Well, of course." Yun Jin smiled, "But I was only four years old at the time. ”
"Eldest sister, you don't have to say this."
"Haha......"
It's rare to make Yunjin laugh once, and sure enough, the beautiful girl who laughs is even more beautiful, and Yunxi also laughs stupidly. In the laughter, the estrangement between the two dissolved in an instant.
"Yunxi, why don't we bet? Don't dig chrysanthemums, don't be afraid of heat stroke on a hot day. Yun Jin said seriously, "I'll tell my father, just give you five acres of land for you to play with." ”
"It's not playing, big sister." Yunxi explained to Yunjin seriously, "You also went to the shop that sells flowers, are the flowers in it very expensive, how can growing flowers make more money than growing grain?" ”
Yun Jin said with a smile: "It's more expensive than food, I know, there are fewer people who can buy it, no matter how much you plant, no one buys it, it's not in vain, food is different, everyone needs it, and you don't have to worry about selling it." ”
"Then eldest sister, you say, has the price of grain not been as high as before in recent years?" Yunxi asked.
Yun Jin was stunned for a moment, "I think about it, last year, the year before last, the year before last, the year before ,......" Yun Jin sighed as he spoke, "It's really not as high as before, not to mention when there was a war before, even in the past few years, the price has been lower year by year, although it is not much, but it is indeed low." ”
"But Yunxi, this has nothing to do with your flower, right?"
"Why is it not big, the low price of food proves that there is more food, and there are fewer hungry and poor people." Yunxi said, "And after the poor solve the problem of food and clothing, shouldn't they think of something else, such as buying a few more new clothes and making two more quilts; For example, cut a few more pounds of meat and kill two more chickens. And after that? Isn't it time to consider buying a few pots of flowers, decorating the yard and house, adding some spice and cultivating sentiment? ”
Yun Jin thought about it obediently and said, "Although what you said is a bit twisted, it seems to make some sense. ”
Yunxi smiled, "Then it's simple, that is, there are more rich people, and there will naturally be more people who are willing to buy flowers." And, there is an important point. ”
"Which point?"
"It's just that there are more people who need flowers now, and there are not many people who raise flowers, especially in our place, so I don't want to develop slowly and delay the opportunity."
"It's a big deal." Yun Jin frowned and said, "It's not just a little kid of yours to talk about. The land is no different from others, and we who farm the land cannot treat the land at will. ”
"That's why I have to make a bet." Yunxi said, "Test the water to see how big the market for flowers is, and whether there is any potential?" How much potential there is, it is good to decide what to do in the future. ”
"You little girl thinks quite far, okay, my sister admits that she was wrong, you are not not doing your job, but thinking far-sightedly." Yun Jin said frankly.
If you know your mistakes, change your habits, just like me, Yunxi said in her heart, she smiled and jumped up and hugged Yunjin's arm, "So sister, you have to help me, for our family!" ”
"Help you, help you, what's wrong, get up for me!"
"Sister, don't you want this? People like you. ”
"Who wants you to like it,......"
