【041】Carving
Urummu stood in place anxiously, looking at the quiet Yuqi, and couldn't guess whether she was happy or angry at this time, and really regretted that she didn't have too much contact with her at that time.
"If you don't like it, I'll go back and carve something new for you. Finally, Urum broke the strange immersion.
Yuqi raised her eyes to look at him and knocked on his gaze, saw his eyes flickering, and smiled: "This peony is very well carved, and it is also very realistic, the color is gradually deepening, very bright, from a distance, it looks like a real flower, I like it very much." ”
Urumu's praised face quickly rose a blush, and he said embarrassedly: "How can it be as good as you say, I am the next carving, it is worth relieving your boredom." ”
Seeing that he was uncomfortable, she pursed her lips and smiled, and looked back at the single wood carving, lying alone in the palm of her hand, which reminded Yuqi of something: "You said you want to do business, have you thought about what to do?"
"After thinking about it, I want to buy mountain goods, take them to the town and sell them, and make a difference in the middle. ”
Yuqi nodded, well, this is also a way, and what you earn is a hard-earned silver.
Look at the wood carving in his hand, although the carving is not very delicate, but for the twelve-year-old, it is also quite good.
"Wood, I have an idea. ”
Urummu was very curious about what idea a six-year-old baby could come up with, so he lowered his jaw: "What idea, let's hear it." ”
"You see, this carved flower is only one, if you make it into a carved potted plant, put peonies of different shapes in it, open or half-open, the petals slightly roll downward, dyed with color, isn't this a beautiful wood carved potted plant!"
"yes, you have a good idea, why didn't I think of it. After hearing this thought, Urumu's eyes lit up, and it instantly seemed to have a new vitality.
"If you take out the woodcarved potted plants, maybe you can sell some silver, it is better than you can collect that mountain goods, if it is windy and rainy, you can only rest at home, not to mention delays, and you can't earn a few silver. ”
Wonderful, really wonderful, if it weren't for today, I'm afraid I would regret dying even more in the future.
"Xiaoyu, your idea is too good, let's not talk about it yet, I'll go home and try it. Urumu just listened to Xiaoyu's words, and when he thought of the potted plant, his heart was itching, and he couldn't wait to say goodbye to Xiaoyu and hurriedly went home.
Seeing him leave like the wind, he stared at the small wooden carving in his hand for a long time.
Woodcarving!
Since wood can carve flowers, then it can also carve other things, such as birds, insects, birthday stars, etc., these can be carved with wood, there are many such themes, just look at how to design.
Hehehe, I don't know how to make money, this is not a business to send to the door, I really look forward to when the wood potted plants can be carved, and I can design a few drawings according to his level, and when he finishes carving, sell them together, and make money accurately.
At noon, not long after lunch, Wucui and Wuhe came together.
"Uncle, this is a stool you made? It was the first time for Wu Cui to see such a novel stool, and she reached out and touched it.
"Well, it's very beautiful, and the flowers engraved on it are also beautiful, just like the real thing, uncle's craftsmanship really doesn't have to be said. Uhe nodded earnestly, his eyes reluctant to leave the delicate stool.
"Hahaha, you two girls, your mouth is so sweet, you actually say good and obedient words to make your uncle happy. Fan Junjiang was praised and his heart was happy.
Yuqi heard their conversation and came out of the house, looking at her father like that, she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "If you two are praising my father, I'm afraid he will walk lightly for a while." ”
"Hey, you kid. Fan Junjiang shook his head helplessly and smiled.
"Yuqi, what I said is true, don't believe it, you ask Wuhe. ”
Wuhe's reluctant little eyes finally left the stool and nodded: "Uncle does it look really good." ”
"You two didn't come to me to praise my father's craft. ”
"Hehe, of course not, take advantage of the cool today, find you and Yujie to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, come back to dry it coolly, and keep it for the winter, otherwise you will be tired of eating pickle strips in winter. Wu Cui shook the bamboo building on her back and winked mischievously at her.
"Okay, I'll call Yujie, wait for me. ”
went to the backyard and called out his sister who was weeding, and the two of them went to the bamboo building on their backs, said hello to their father, and went out in a group of four.
The weather is cool after the beginning of autumn, especially in the mountains, and the wild vegetables are very tender during this season.
The four of them found a large area where wild vegetables grew and began to dig up, talking while digging, and the time passed quickly.
Yuqi saw that there were no wild vegetables near her, and she went two meters ahead, and saw a seedling, how did she look like a sweet potato seedling, she stepped forward suspiciously, threw it a few times with a small hoe in her hand, and a thick sweet potato broke out of the ground.
The happy Yuqi patted off the soil on its body with her hands, pulled out the sweet potato seedlings, looked left and right, and thought about steaming sweet potatoes, roasting sweet potatoes, and sweet potato porridge.
"Yuqi, what are you smiling at, you won't be in the middle of the day for a long time. Uho stood beside her, and watched her smirk at a red thing, thinking she had picked up some treasure.
"Wuhe, this thing is delicious, but sweet, you go and call them, there are many more here. ”
"It's just something that can be eaten, and it's sweet? How do you know?" she didn't look like a sweet thing, and how sweet it could be when it was dug out of the ground. Shaking his head in disbelief.
Yuqi threw her a roll of the eyes: "If you can eat, you can eat, if you don't believe it, I'll make it for you at my house in a while." ”
Seeing that she didn't look like a joke, she turned around and ran to call both of them over, and the three of them watched Yuqi dig one out, and then they all dug silently, and after a while, a piece of sweet potato seedlings on the ground, and the bamboo building was almost full, but there was a large piece of sweet potatoes on the ground.
It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, this time Yuqi is considerate, not only pay attention to the road under your feet, but also take care of the things behind you in case you fall out again, it is really both sides of the equation, and it is miserable.
Entering the courtyard gate of Yuqi's house, the four of them went directly to the kitchen, Fan Junjiang saw their eagerness, and thought that they were hungry, so he didn't think much about it, anyway, there were a lot of pancakes at noon, which was enough for them to eat.
"Yuqi, how do you eat this thing. ”
"yes, just throw it into the fire pit and it's over?"
"Sister, what is this thing called, how weird, it's not long and slender, it's not thick. ”
The three of them stared at Yuqi with six eyes, only to see her fill the stove with firewood, put the things that had just been dug up below, rub it, and the stove was ignited by her, and then, scooped two scoops full of water and put them into the cauldron, put a drawer on it, put the washed sweet potatoes on the drawer, cover the pot, Yuqi snorted softly.
"Well, when the fire is extinguished, you can start eating, just in mind that you haven't eaten anything so sweet. ”
"Really?"
Wuhe looked at Wucui: "I hope it won't taste worse than the taste of wild vegetables." ”
"My sister said that this thing is delicious, it is delicious. Yu Jie stood beside Yu Qi, holding her head high, supporting her.
Yuqi raised her eyebrows: "See, my sister still has vision." After speaking, he turned his head to look at her: "Sister, after a while, you eat more and starve them to death." ”
"Okay, I won't leave them for sure. ”
"Hey, hey, you sisters don't bring this, let me declare first, I washed it just now, so I have to eat two of them. ”
"Wucui, if you want to say that, it was still the firewood I held just now, without my firewood, your thing can't be cooked, then I won't eat much, just three. ”
Yu Qi was speechless to the extreme, just now I was still suspecting that this thing was not delicious, this time I grabbed it, and there were few of them in total, if they all occupied it, they would eat the northwest wind by themselves
