After eating Chinese food, Liu Man'er began to make such sachets again, she first cut two pieces of paper, cut them into rectangles, which was used to make samples, and then used this paper to cut fabric, a piece of cloth was folded in half, and it became a square, and then the square was sewn up, turned over, filled with herbs, and then sewn the diagonal place, and made a hanging ring with thread, which was left outside.

After that, Liu Man'er sewed a big tassel underneath, and the shape of such a sachet was beginning to take shape, and Liu Man'er thought about it and wrote a six-character mantra on the sachet, so that the sachet could be regarded as really good.

After the sachet was ready, Liu Man'er showed it to Fang's, and Fang's also praised that this sachet was very good, but Liu Man'er still felt a little dissatisfied, the reason was that the time to make the sachet was too slow, just now it took her at least half an hour from the beginning to the completion alone, even if she waited for the next family to do it together, but it was still a little slow.

"Well, let's divide and work together." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "I'll cut the cloth, you will sew it, Ye Yuan will fill the spices, and Xiaohe, you will make tassels with Fusheng, so that our speed will be faster." ”

Liu Man'er thought very well, her work of cutting the fabric was very simple, and the fabric was cut after a while, but Fang's stitching was a little slow, this sachet originally required fine stitches, so that it looked good.

After Liu Man'er cut the cloth, she also helped to come over and sew it, but the speed of the two was still a little slow.

Ye He and Liu Fusheng can be busy making tassels, but Ye Yuan, the person who fills in the spices, has always been guarding the spices in front of him and waiting for Liu Man'er and the sachets in Fang's hands to be sewn.

But although there are two people, it is slow after all, because after sewing, the tassel and the hanging ring left behind must also be sewn, so Liu Man'er feels that Ye Yuan's manpower is a bit wasted.

She came over to teach Ye Yuan the last step, and asked him to sew the tassel and the hanging ring that was left, although Ye Yuan was a man, but it may be that no one helped him sew clothes in the army before, so he could only sew it himself, and after Liu Man'er's teaching, he actually sewed well.

Liu Man'er was very happy, and after praising him, she started working again.

But Rao is like this, the speed of the two of them still can't catch up with Ye Yuan's speed, and Ye Yuan has to wait for the two of them from time to time.

But if Ye Yuan was asked to come over and sew this sachet, Liu Man'er was afraid that Ye Yuan would be a little reluctant, after all, he was a dignified man, even if Ye Yuan was not satisfied, the Fang clan would also have an opinion, after all, when Ye Yuan was just asked to do the last step of sealing, the Fang clan said on the side:

"Yuan'er, he is a dignified man, how can he do this? Let's wait until we're done, let's go sew. ”

But later, seeing that Ye Yuan was doing well, he didn't say anything himself, so Fang didn't say much.

And Liu Man'er didn't want him to do this, she also felt that it was a bit of a knife to kill chickens, no way, the family just did it slowly, it was faster than Liu Man'er alone, about an hour, and she did seven or eight.

These sachets Liu Man'er plans to price five cents a piece, so the fabrics she chooses are fine cotton, and the spices are also very good.

If it's too small, it seems that this sachet is a little low-grade, and after making a big tassel, after hanging it, this sachet quickly changed its appearance, it looks pretty good, and Liu Man'er is quite satisfied.

After making these seven or eight sachets, Liu Man'er let everyone rest for a while, and she herself took a brush and began to write a six-character mantra on this sachet.

She herself thinks that the sachet she makes is very beautiful, and she is not worried about the sales of this sachet, she is worried that she does not make enough sachets and does not sell enough.

"Mother, do you know any familiar needlework?" After Liu Man'er had drawn patterns on these sachets, she put down her pen and turned to look at Fang's: "Why don't we ask a few girls and aunts to sew these for us?" We're also faster that way. ”

"Someone, please?" Fang Shi hesitated a little, "Let's just do this ourselves, if we hire someone, it will cost money." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is the right person, you can call it, and you spend money to make money." Liu Man'er said, "You see that our family has done so much for so long, and we won't be able to do much in a day at that time." ”

Because Liu Man'er and Fang's sewing speed is slow, Ye Yuan's speed is also slow, and then, Ye He and Liu Fusheng are also doing a break for a while, Liu Man'er feels that even if it is done at night, she can't do much, the temple fair will be tomorrow, she has to seize the opportunity to make a profit.

"I do know a few people, this is the time of the farm, they should not have anything to do, but how much do we pay them?" Fang asked again, "After all, they are neighbors, and it's not good to give them too low." ”

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Liu Man'er asked.

"At the very least, it's five cents." Fang hesitated for a moment and said.

Liu Man'er smiled: "Mother, you scared me to death, I thought I was going to give how much, it turned out to be five cents, okay, yes, the people who come at that time, give each of them a piece of cloth, anyway, there is still a surplus of the cloth that our family bought last time." ”

"Man'er, you are really generous, will we be able to earn back the money from these sachets when the time comes?" When Fang heard Liu Man'er say this, he said, "I think this cloth and silk thread of yours are quite expensive, right?" And this spice also costs money. ”

"Don't worry, mother, there must be some earning, the more we do, the more we naturally earn, the less we do, if these fabrics and spices are not used up, it will definitely be a loss."

Liu Man'er smiled and said, "If you believe me, go and call someone, just want people with better conduct, I hate those long-tongued women the most." ”

"Don't worry." Fang said with a smile, "The people my mother knows are all people who are similar to my mother's relatives, and they used to come to our house to play, but now they are also less coming." ”

"Since that's the case, then it's troublesome to mother, don't be reluctant to pay money, call more people, I don't have too many to call seven or eight, a dozen people, I plan to do hundreds, our family will definitely not be able to do it." Liu Man'er urged.

Fang Shi stood up and walked outside, after Fang Shi left, Liu Man'er went to the bedroom to see some Ye Tianchen, and saw that he was sleeping really soundly, so he said: "This child is really sensible, he knows that we have a lot of things, and he is not noisy, so he fell asleep obediently." ”

"yes." Ye Yuan should be in harmony.

Liu Man'er touched Ye Tianchen's body, and when she saw that the diaper was not wet, she came over with confidence, and was worried that there were too many people waiting for the lower clan to call, so she asked Ye He and Liu Fusheng to go to Fang's room to do it, and said:

"Xiaohe, Fusheng, there will be a bunch of aunts to help us do it later, so you two have to speed up, don't be lazy, and then you have to do a good job, and when we make money tomorrow, I will also pay you."

"Really?" Ye He asked tentatively.

"Of course." Liu Man'er nodded and said with certainty, "When does sister-in-law talk doesn't count?" You can rest assured, I am a person with clear rewards and punishments, you two are obedient and well-behaved, naturally there are rewards, when we have money, we can buy whatever we want to eat. ”

"yes." Liu Fusheng clapped his hands, sat on the small bench, and immediately made a serious appearance.

"Be quiet, don't bother your nephew." Liu Man'er said with a smile, and then said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, you can come in too, the four of us will do it inside, and let the old friends of my mother and her outside." ”

"Okay." Ye Yuan came in with a bag of spices.

Fang's room was not big, and there were a lot of sundries piled up in it, and as soon as the four of them entered, it became a little crowded, so Liu Man'er asked Ye He and Liu Fusheng to take off their shoes and sit on the bed, and she and Ye Yuan sat on the small bench.

But now that Fang and the others haven't come over, Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan have made tassels together, Ye Yuan has a lot of strength, and the work of tying tassels is very good, Liu Man'er feels that he really knows everything.

"Why are you watching me do when you're not working?" The two sat opposite each other, and Ye Yuan quickly noticed that Liu Man'er was peeking at him.

"I'll supervise your work." Liu Man'er said generously.

"Okay." Ye Yuan lowered his head and continued to work on the silk thread in his hand.

Cut the silk thread into short threads of the same length, fold it in half after making a bundle, and then tie them with threads, tie the bundled head into it, come out of the middle, cross the tassel folded in half, and leave the long one to make a hanging ring.

When passing through the sachet, use a thin wire to pass through the hole left by the sachet to plug the vanilla, and then force through the bottom, hook the silk thread, and pass it through, so that the tassel will be firmly fixed on the sachet.

A few people were making these tassels, and there was a sound outside the door, and Liu Man'er knew that it was the Fang clan who came back, so she went out to greet her.

The Fang clan really found a lot of people according to what Liu Man'er said, and when Liu Man'er counted them, there were nine including the above clan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated." Liu Man'er hurriedly beckoned them to sit down, and there were some people here who Liu Man'er also knew, including Aunt Chunhua and her two daughters-in-law.

"Yo, Ruyi, you are so blessed, your daughter-in-law is so smart and clever now." One of the women, about fifty or sixty years old, spoke.

Liu Man'er saw that there were many patches on her clothes, but the stitches of these patches were indeed very smooth, so it could be seen that her needlework was indeed good.

In fact, the women in this village, except for a few particularly lazy, almost all do needlework, after all, in this countryside all year round clothes, quilts, shoes, etc., are made by themselves, will not have to know, this needlework is not lazy, as long as you are careful, there is no bad work.
