Chapter 125 Needlework (Asking for Support, Collection, Tickets, Subscriptions)

Grandma Jane smiled, as an old man, she can do needlework, but she is really not as good as her granddaughter in embroidery, maybe she needs talent in this area!

"Brother-in-law, you do a good job, but in terms of embroidery, I think about it myself, I can't teach people, if you want to embroider well, you should first draw a model, embroider against the model."

"We haven't studied, and we can't draw, how can we draw a model?"

The new daughter-in-law's family is just an ordinary farmer, and the boys in the family can still go to school for a few years, but the girls can only stay at home.

Maybe the young lady from a big family can go to school, or the family will invite a master to teach.

"I didn't read either, but I used to use flowers as models and embroider on them."

"I'll try it later." At first, the new daughter-in-law thought that the eldest sister-in-law didn't want to teach, and then thought about it again, people who are good at needlework generally have a master, and the master asked her to teach, and she taught, and the master did not let the apprentice pass it on, and many people did not pass it on.

The eldest sister-in-law works in a big family, maybe there is a master to teach her, the eldest sister-in-law can stay home for two days at the moment, maybe she will rarely come back in the future, and teaching people is not something that can be learned in a day or two.

"Well, I'll try it too." The little girl also said.

This afternoon, young and old are making clothes, and the fastest and best number of plum blossoms are made.

Her parents didn't have time to make clothes, so they first made her father a long gown, gray fabric, which was a bit like a teaching gentleman.

Wearing such clothes during the Chinese New Year is a little more tasteful, and the plum blossoms are so big, it is the first time to make clothes for their parents.

At noon, when she saw the figure of her parents, she drew lines and cut them in the fabric, and then sewed the clothes with stitches, and embroidered bamboo on the collar.

Finishing a dress in one afternoon makes people look at and admire her craftsmanship.

Grandma Jane first made a cheongsam for her wife, the fabric was a little thick, and she was warm in winter, and her eyes were still bright at this age, no better than that of a young person.

It's a little slower than plum blossoms to make clothes, and the craftsmanship is not as good as hers, but it's much better than the craftsmanship of the new daughter-in-law and the little girl.

The new daughter-in-law made clothes for herself first, and made a skirt with a brighter color.

The new daughter-in-law has such an idea that when she returns to her parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she wears this dress to her parents' house, which is better than the clothes she wore when she was a bride, which will have face in front of her parents and fellow villagers.

The little girl couldn't make her own clothes, so she could only make handkerchiefs, and the flowers embroidered with handkerchiefs were not as good as those embroidered by adults.

I use it to practice my handiwork, and I will only use some small fabrics to practice my hands.

Seeing that my sister, grandmother, and sister-in-law can make clothes, I am envious and jealous, and I want to learn a good craft.

In the evening, the family came back to find that dinner was ready.

Today's dinner has a dinner made by Meihua and her new daughter-in-law, making roast chicken and duck, as well as green vegetables.

A chicken and a duck were only cut in half to cook, ready to be kept for the other half to eat tomorrow.

Food can be stored in winter, and people in the south rarely build basements at home, and the weather in the south is generally humid, which is not suitable for putting things in the basement.

It is best to keep the food in a ventilated place, and the utility room must also be ventilated and well-lit.

The family is eating roast chicken and duck, which seems to be a richer dinner than the New Year, chatting happily.

Jian Muyou said simply, today they dug up some potatoes and sweet potatoes, and tomorrow the two brothers and their father will take an ox cart to the county seat together.

Help Daddy transport things to the market, and then they go to Steward Xie.

Although Meihua has never sold anything, she feels that her brother's method is inappropriate.

"Brother, do we think that if you transport things to the market, and you two brothers go to Steward Xie, if Daddy can't sell them in the market, and can't carry all the things back to the ox cart, what should we do?"

"Ah, wouldn't it? I see that the uncle and aunt sold out in a short time. ”

After all, Jian Muyou is only a teenager, although he is married, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has not experienced strong winds and waves.

"I think the big girl is right, the three of us carried it, but a few hundred catties of things, if I can't sell them out, I have to carry them back to the ox cart, which is really inappropriate!"

Father Jane, who has sold things, has little confidence that he can sell hundreds of catties of things by himself.

"Have you ever wondered? Maybe they found a restaurant, or the goods received by a large family, maybe it will be a little cheaper than the market, and they can sell quickly! For us, it's better than not being able to sell for income. ”

Meihua thought of Miss's small kitchen, and the newly built kitchen also needs to collect ingredients, right?

"Yes, yes, others must have a way, or let's pick things together and find Steward Xie, it is possible that we will not be able to sell so many things, it is better than staying in the market and maybe not being able to sell them!"

"I have an idea, the potatoes and sweet potatoes can be ground at any time to make fries, or to make vermicelli."

Meihua remembered her life in the mountains, in order to be able to eat a full mouthful, the whole mountain hollowed out those wild vegetables, wild tree roots, sweet potatoes and cassava are relatively cold-resistant, and can grow with sunlight and water.

Like arrowroot, it can be made into paste or vermicelli.

"Sister, is there such a practice? Usually my grandparents only make soup or boil a whole strip, although I am hungry, I don't think it is delicious. ”

As soon as the little girl heard about the food, she had just eaten roast chicken and duck, but she couldn't satisfy her cravings.

"I've heard that there are some places where there are some recipes for sweet potatoes, but that method is more cumbersome, and making vermicelli is different, just grind it into flour and make vermicelli like rice noodles."

Plum blossoms were sold into the house soon on the mountain on the family temple, has not been able to go down the mountain, every year down the mountain only nuns, every time the nun down the mountain to eat food, or heard about what food in front of her nagged, she hid these in her heart.

At the age of a girl, what girl doesn't like to dream? Don't want to wear something delicious and good?

If you have a dream in your heart and a hope, you will live happily every day.

"Big girl, will you? If you know, teach us, maybe we have a craft, we can use sweet potatoes to make a small workshop, make vermicelli to sell on the street, just like the girl said French fries, you can also sell on the street. ”

Jian's father, a middle-aged man, failed to make a fortune after working hard, and he still made a fortune with the monthly money given by his daughter's work, and he had long wanted to have a craft to make money for his family.

On days when the farm is not busy, the coolies who often go to work as masons only earn a little hard-earned money.

"Why don't we try? I wonder if you think it's good or not? ”

The reason why Meihua has no confidence is that the things he cooks on the mountain are all without oil and salt, and no matter how well he cooks, the food he cooks has no taste.

The new daughter-in-law listened to them and thought that they were whimsical, what delicious things could the eldest sister-in-law make in the mountains?

However, her new daughter-in-law, who had just entered the door, was not easy to speak, her mouth moved, and she still did not say the language of the blow.
