Chapter 32 Making Silk Flowers
"Well, it's doable, but the question is, will you do it?" Fang asked the crucial question.
"Uh......" Liu Man'er was splashed with a basin of cold water in an instant, but she was not such a person who easily admits defeat, so she said to Ye He, "Come, Xiaohe, take off the silk flower on your head and show it to my sister." ”
Ye He obediently took the silk flower off his head and handed it to Liu Man'er, who took it and studied it for a while, and felt that it was not difficult.
"We should be able to do this, mainly with that kind of thin wire." Liu Man'er handed the silk flower to Ye He again, and said, "Don't lose this silk flower, we will make some of it when the time comes." ”
"Okay." Ye He still stuck the silk flower on his head.
Liu Man'er said to Ye Yuan again, "Ye Yuan, you go to the blacksmith shop to make some thin wires like this, and we will use them to make silk flowers at that time." ”
"Will you really do it?" Ye Yuan asked more.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it, when the time comes, you are boiling some rice milk, we will cut this silk cloth into the shape of a silk flower, and then fold it in half, stick it on this wire, and then twist it together, isn't it a silk flower?"
Seeing what Liu Man'er said, Ye Yuan stood up and said, "I'll order it now." ”
"Eh, it's raining right now." Liu Man'er hurriedly shouted.
"You don't have to worry, I won't go to the town, my uncle is tied to the iron in this village, and I will go directly to him to become." Ye Yuan said as he picked up the hat and walked out.
Hearing him say this, Liu Man'er didn't keep it anymore, and she was now full of thoughts about making silk flowers.
"I'm going to draw a few of them, and we'll just cut them when the time comes." Liu Man'er said and went to Ye Feng's room.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone or something, Ye Feng has it here, but now Ye Qing also has it there, but Ye Feng has a better temperament, so Liu Man'er went to Ye Feng's room.
This is the first time Liu Man'er has entered Ye Feng's room, the young man's room is quite neatly tied, there is a desk by the window, and there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk.
Liu Man'er stepped forward, and there happened to be a pair of Ye Feng's words on the table, which was not bad, quite neat.
Liu Man'er exclaimed, then pulled it away, taking one out of his desk.
It was the paper that Liu Man'er gave him last time, and this young man was not willing to use one after all, and it was neatly placed in the drawer.
Liu Man'er is not a thrifty person, since he is reluctant to use it, then I will help him use it first.
The brush willow vine can be used, but this is the first time she has polished the ink, and she really feels a little inconvenient.
Lifting the brush, carefully drawing all kinds of petals on this paper, drawing seven or eight kinds, until a piece of paper was full, Liu Man'er stopped, helped him wash the brush, and still hung it on the shelf, then took the pattern she drew and showed it to Fang Shi and others.
When Fang Shi saw it, he was instantly shocked, "Man'er is so powerful now, this petal painting is really good." ”
"Sister-in-law, she can write." Ye He opened his mouth and said.
Liu Man'er glanced at her, she quickly covered her mouth, and then remembered what Liu Man'er said last time, don't tell others about this.
"It's that I used to watch Ye Feng write at the window, so I can too." Liu Man'er explained to Fang's family, "I don't know many words, but I just have a good memory." ”
Fang Shi heard Liu Man'er explain this, so he nodded and said, "You just call fools stupid luck, I didn't expect the ghost door to be closed and walked around, and now they have become so smart and capable." ”
Liu Man'er didn't want to say more on this topic, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Mother, let's not talk about this, let's cut out these patterns so that we can make petals." In this way, when the time comes, when our wire is ready, we can immediately make silk flowers. ”
"Hmm." As he spoke, Fang took it out of the basket beside him, cut out three kinds of petals drawn by Liu Man'er on the paper, handed one to each person, and then began to sort the strips of rags in the sack.
Ye He and Liu Fusheng also helped to do it, and Liu Man'er turned around to get scissors from her room.
By the time she came back, the three of Fang's had already found a lot of rags, these rags were not only brocade but also silk, of course, these were few after all, the most was this kind of ordinary cotton, and this brightly colored rag was also selected by Fang's, so there were really a lot.
"I feel like I've made a lot of money this time." Liu Man'er looked at the strips of cloth piled up on the ground and said.
"Yes, our family is really good at shopping." The Fang clan praised her unconditionally, even if sometimes Liu Man'er was just laughing at herself, she would praise her according to her words.
"Come on, let's get started." After packing up the cloth on the ground, Liu Man'er was ready to act.
"Well, you two cut it first, I'll make the shoes first." Fang Shi said, and handed the scissors in his hand to Ye He.
Liu Man'er then remembered that there were only two scissors at home, but if the Fang family wanted to make shoes, she and Ye He would use two scissors just right.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then they got busy, and Liu Man'er found a rattan basket, which was beaten with a piece of cloth to hold these cut petals.
Soon, Ye Yuan also came over, holding a bundle of iron wire in his hand, Liu Man'er felt a little strange, Ye Yuan told everyone, "It just so happens that this uncle's family has such iron wire for sale, so I bought a bundle of it, and I bought another pair of pliers, and I just used this pliers to cut it myself." ”
"Well, okay, my Ye Yuan is really capable." Liu Man'er praised Ye Yuan in Fang's tone, although Ye Yuan didn't speak, his dark face was slightly red.
It was dark and Liu Man'er didn't see clearly.
Now it's fine, Fang's went to boil rice milk, Liu Man'er and Ye He cut the petals, and Ye Yuan was busy cutting the wire.
After Dao Fang's rice milk was boiled, she was responsible for gluing the petals to the wire, and Liu Fusheng was also helping to do it slowly, not to mention, a few people really made a lot of silk flowers in the afternoon.
"It's so pretty." Ye He couldn't put it down when he saw the finished product that Liu Man'er had wrenched, "Sister-in-law, how do you look so good, you are so skillful." ”
"Isn't that what I did with you?" Liu Man'er smiled and put a silk flower on her head, "This is also your share." ”
"Uh-huh." Ye He nodded again and again, this was made by himself, and it was really different.
And when she saw the silk flowers made by Liu Man'er, she instantly disliked the silk flowers on her head.
After all, Liu Man'er has seen a lot of patterns, and the petals she painted are also very good-looking, several people use paper as templates, and the cut is also very neat, each petal is the same, so it looks better when twisted together.
"Mother, you can sew some more under it with thread, so that it is stronger." Liu Man'er handed the silk flower to the Fang family, the Fang family's craftsmanship is good, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry.
"Okay." Fang took the silk flower and reprocessed it once, so far, a silk flower is completed.
"Sister-in-law, how much do we sell such a silk flower?" Ye He asked with some curiosity.
"At least I have to sell it for ten cents." Liu Man'er said casually.
"Shiwen, this is too expensive, right?" Ye He and Fang said in unison.
"Is it expensive?" Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "Look, such a crude silk flower on Xiaohe's head costs a penny, my silk flower is made of silk, and the workmanship is high, ten cents, you can't buy it at another house." ”
"Man'er, you're going to do business." Fang Shi said again and again.
"It's not that I know how to do business, it's that my thing is worth this marriage." Liu Man'er said, "Let's do more, and we will sell it next time we catch the market, this kind of silk and brocade will be sold for ten yuan a pair, and then this kind of cloth will be sold for two yuan a pair." ”
"I'm only responsible for doing it anyway." Fang's didn't plan to go to the town to sell them, in the past, when she went to buy two eggs, she kept her head down the whole time.
"Okay, when the time comes, I'll go with Xiaohe, and by the way, I'll take Fusheng with me, and we'll sell this just like fun." Liu Man'er put down the scissors as she said and stretched.
I kept my head down and cut the petals, and my neck was a little tired.
"Okay, let's rest, it's time to make dinner, when Ye Qing and Ye Feng come back, they won't have anything to eat." Liu Man'er reminded.
Only then did Fang Shi consciously remember that it was time to cook, and Liu Man'er also remembered that she had put the child in the cradle.
Hurriedly walked over to see that the child slept soundly, but when he touched him, it was already wet.
"Ye Yuan, bring a pair of children's pants here." Liu Man'er hurriedly shouted.
This Ye Tianchen often wets the bed, so his pants are usually roasted on the fire.
"Okay." Ye Yuan understood what Liu Man'er meant, so he hurriedly picked up a pair of pants from the cover and ran over.
Liu Man'er had just taken over his pants and was about to come over to help him change them, but the kid was pooping again, and he was caught off guard and let him get into his pants. The two were in a hurry, Ye Yuan hurriedly ran to the kitchen to get hot water, and Liu Man'er helped him take off his pants.
Then the child woke up and began to cry again, and Liu Man'er really wanted to cry without tears.
In the past, she was very disgusted with children and felt that it was difficult to serve, but now she has no choice but to serve Ye Tianchen, but while taking care of him, a feeling of happiness rose in her heart.
Although it is not her own child, it gives her a feeling of motherhood.
Pain and joy.
After helping Ye Tianchen clean his lower body, Liu Man'er helped him put on his pants again and padded his diapers, but Ye Yuan took the initiative to wash the child's dirty clothes.
Liu Man'er is quite satisfied with this, even if she gives birth to a child in the future, he will be able to help her do a lot of work, hehe.
Holding the child for a while, the child was hungry, but the previous porridge was cold again, so Liu Man'er took him to the kitchen, heated him with a small stove, and fed him slowly.
"Hu ......" gently blows on the porridge, and then feeds it to the child's mouth, which is quite delicious.
"Pathetic, born without parents." Liu Man'er shook her head, feeling a little distressed about this child, if the original owner really hurt the child that day, then she didn't know what to do now, she felt terrible when she thought about it.
Fortunately, she came early and didn't make a big mistake.
