Chapter 18: The Dresser
A few aunts who were in better health took turns to help finish grinding the pulp before going home. By the way, I borrowed the stone mill.
Stone grinding is also a valuable production material, which ordinary families cannot afford, and there are only a few families in the village.
In the past, there was less rice grinding, so just take it and grind it. Now every family has hundreds of catties of acorns, which is not good to disturb the Zhang family's rest, so they borrow the stone mill and use it at home.
"Dad, are the frames ready?" Seeing that someone was helping, Han Yun didn't need her and came to her father.
"Alright. However, I didn't make a frame to match a dresser, this box is still a set of sandalwood dressers that Miss Liu asked me to get married in the town last year.
As soon as I finished the dressing box, it was rumored that Miss Liu went to the temple to make a vow, and on the way back, she was met by robbers, and as a result, the family of three lost their lives.
This box has become an ownerless thing, I wanted to use it for your mother, but your mother is unlucky.
The material of this box is not sold cheaply, and ordinary people can't use such good wood, so they have left it until now.
Your grandmother asked me to make a shelf for the vanity mirror, and I remembered that this box was here, and it was just the right size, just change it slightly. Zhang Shujun and his daughter talked about the origin of the box.
I saw the reddish-brown dressing box, with two doors facing the front, and several drawers in the door, in which you can put headwear and some basic dressing tools, such as hairpins, golden hairpins, wooden combs, etc.
Fences are installed on all sides, with a gap in front and a mirror in the center.
A beautifully carved dressing case that can be held up by the mirror when in use, or folded when not in use.
Even Zhang Hanyun, who has seen a lot of exquisite furniture in modern times, can't put down this delicate dressing box.
"Dad, your craftsmanship is really good, I have nothing to say.
This small glass mirror with this dressing box will increase the grade more than a hundred times at once, and it will definitely be sold at a good price. Han Yun sincerely praised her father's craftsmanship.
Looking at the girl holding the dresser and looking at it carefully, she couldn't help but say: "If you like it, keep it for yourself, our family is not short of silver flowers." ”
"That's not good, I still want to sell this glass mirror for silver." Remembering the bow and crossbow, he quickly took out the drawings.
"Dad, didn't you say there are bandits nearby? Let's see if you can make this crossbow arrow, which can be used for hunting or self-defense. ”
Zhang Shujun took the drawing and looked at it, shocked, the bow and crossbow on this drawing was obviously a very lethal weapon, and the parts were marked with dimensions, and the details were clear.
"It's so well drawn, it's wonderful! It can be described as ingenious and ingenious.
The bow and crossbow are built, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can be ten against one.
I varnish the vanity box again, and then I started to build the crossbow. Zhang Shujun's face also showed a desire for weapons and a fanatical look.
After all, men have no resistance to weapons and cars. Not to mention a man who has never touched a weapon.
It was dark, and the village chief drove back with the second uncle and an ox cart with his belongings.
Both of them were beaming with joy and red on their faces. From afar, I listened to the village chief report the good news to my grandfather
"Uncle, what a happy event! What a happy event.
After the county magistrate tasted the acorn noodles, he praised it greatly, and reported the acorn treatment method to the imperial court at that time, and promoted it again.
The villages near our county have sent officials to teach the villages how to make acorn noodles, and they will also reward the aunts who have figured out how to make acorn noodles. ”
"The recipe for making acorn noodles can get the blue eyes of the county magistrate, and it is not in vain that you and I have spent all this effort." The old man was also happy in his heart, and this happiness had nothing to do with whether he could be rewarded, but because he was happy that he could make some contributions to the country as a citizen of Dahua.
People, whether they are ordinary people or in high positions, have that kind of patriotic feelings.
Here, Zhang Li finished unloading the car, took the things he bought, and began to study ink making.
