Chapter 15: Embroidery
Bei Sitian took the so-called braids, and knew that this thing was used to make straw hats, mainly with wheat stalks, and the braids that were pinched out were thumb wide, flat, braided into twist braids, coiled together and then sewn, and became a straw hat.
However, in general, the village just pinched into braids and sold directly to the market, and no matter how it was processed, there was no memory of the original owner, and it should not be something that the villagers would do.
Bei Sitian took it and gestured with his hand, it is best to use fingernails for this thing, so that it will be more neat to pinch it out, and if the braids are braided, the corresponding price will be higher, sometimes it may be one or two cents higher.
"It's only been two months since I started and I forgot about it! What a memory! Qin muttered, took the braids, and gave Bei Sitian a demonstration.
"Pinch the same point, you look at what you pinched before, you can't sell a three-flower jujube!" Qin said disgustedly.
Qin's pinched braids can be sold for a dollar, and even at the highest time, they can be sold for three or four cents, which is a lot worse!
Bei Sitian came into contact with this kind of thing for the first time, but it was probably because the original owner pinched it a lot, and she also had the original memory in her head, and she got started quickly, mainly because this thing was very simple, and she completely mastered it after a few edits.
After mastering it, Bei Sitian began to pinch it better, and the more she pinched, the more comfortable it became, and the long braid dragged on the kang, and the change could be clearly seen.
It's not difficult to pinch it neatly, Bei Sitian got used to it at the beginning of the mullion, each mullion is only an inch long, one is used to the head, and the other one needs to be plugged in, this position is not well connected, which affects the overall senses.
Qin's wholeheartedly took the soles of her shoes, and she didn't look at Bei Sitian, she had already learned her craft, and it was useless how many times she taught it, her hands were too stupid, and she didn't expect much to sell a little bit.
Bei Sitian pinched the unhappiness in front of her, mainly because she was familiar with the process of groping, she liked to use her brains to do things, in the boudoir before, in addition to practicing words every day, it was embroidery, weaving, crocheting, weaving, embroidering she would do everything, this will, but not the kind of superficial will.
Among them, embroidery is fine, Bei Sitian's double-sided embroidery is famous in the whole capital, and even the Queen Mother praises it.
At that time, Bei Sitian had not yet met the master, so these were all the daily life in her boudoir, naturally she studied every day, and added a lot of her own thoughts on the original basis, and it was countless times more difficult to pick one of these than to pinch her braids.
Therefore, the work in hand is very simple for Bei Sitian, and after it is so simple, Bei Sitian has lost interest.
But to make money, she will pinch it if she is not interested, practice makes perfect, for this kind of work with no technical content, Bei Sitian is very fast, and she will pinch most of the wheat in a dustpan after a while.
Qin began to rub his eyes after the meeting, rubbing while rubbing, and then he had to put down the soles of his shoes to rest before he could continue.
Seeing this, Bei Sitian said, "Mother, don't accept it, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Qin Shi rubbed his eyebrows, "There's not much." ”
Qin was in a hurry, she didn't go to the market because Bei Sitian was bedridden for the past two months, and she didn't have time to work, this time she looked much better, Yang Wulang said that it would be no big deal if there were ten days and eight months, so she thought about going to the market.
There is nothing left at home, I have to go to the market to buy some, and sell some work, get some pocket money, and now I can't necessarily drive out much, plus since she was blind, the quality of the things made is not good, not to mention the appearance, the price is much lower.
Qin's heart is also bored, in recent years, she has done several times to make the work that has not been sold, the family does not have much money, and there are many disasters and difficulties, this time the work she made is just touching it, it is really hard to say how much it can sell.
Qin was in a bad mood, and after answering Bei Sitian, he glared at her, "If you are careful and stay away from Lian Qiao's dead girl, how can you lie in bed for so long, if it weren't for the wool that the family just sold, you would lie in bed and wait for death!" ”
Bei Sitian is not annoyed, Qin's current state is that she is psychologically depressed, and she should vent it appropriately, anyway, she will not lose a piece of meat if she says a few words, so she will go in her left ear and out of her right ear.
Bei Sitian took the upper in the dustpan, the pure black upper, coupled with the white sole, looked plain.
She found that the men and women in the village wore these cloth shoes, and some of them had good conditions at home, and the upper of the shoes would be a little decorated, or a different color.
This sole is thick, breathable, and comfortable to wear.
"Mother, do we have a red line and a yellow line in our house?" Beth asked.
"It's a bit of a yellow line, what are you doing?" Qin asked.
The family generally buys white thread and black thread for work, and the rest of the color thread is basically not bought, although it is not expensive, but it is useless to buy it, spend money in vain, this yellow line is still when the eldest son was in the past, there is a yellow coat, which is used to mend that.
"Where?"
Bei Sitian got off the kang and listened to Qin's words and rummaged through the cabinet.
The structure of the east and west rooms is the same, both have a large cabinet on the north wall, which is one-third the size of the wall, and is placed against the wall.
The cabinet is not a vertical cabinet, there are two squares, there are one meter in front and back, left and right, there is a half of the upper side of the fan can be opened, and the other half of the upper side of the fan can be placed on the top of the house.
In front of the cabinet is a bench that can seat three or five people, and in addition to this, there is a table against the wall in the east room, which is glass below, and the god of wealth is enshrined on the top.
In addition to these belongings, there is a large earthen kang, except for the glass on the table against the wall in the east room, even the windows are papier-mâché.
However, the windows of every house in the village are papier-mâché, and one glass object is relatively fresh.
Bei Sitian rummaged through the cabinet, and found a package of paper on the side, and opened it to have several axes of colored lines, three axes of yellow and one axis of green.
It's a pity that there is no red, otherwise embroidering two flowers on the upper will make it look much better.
Bei Sitian took out the yellow thread, sat back on the kang, picked up the upper of the shoe and began to embroider with the oil lamp.
Qin Shi was startled when he saw it, and reached out and snatched the upper of his shoe.
"What are you doing! Don't give me something to spoil me! ”
Qin roared, and there was an immediate question from the east house, she said that it was okay, and she didn't forget to glare at Bei Sitian as she spoke.
Bei Sitian was also taken aback by her and looked at her blankly.
"What am I going to do with the thread when you do, when the time comes, you will spoil this upper, how can I sew it up!" Qin was angry.
Originally, there were fewer finished products, and if she was to harm one more, there would be even less, so many days and nights to drive out these pairs, how easy it is!
Her clumsy hands can't sell her braids for a few bucks, let alone embroidery!
As soon as Bei Sitian heard her say, she smiled bitterly, indeed, the original owner's hands were very stupid, but the Qin family did not wronged her, although she had never embroidered live, but every time she pinched her braids, she was told by the Qin family, and she didn't even think about embroidery!
