Du Changgui's eyes lit up: "Girl, tell your uncle carefully, what kind of look?" ”

"The diameter of the rattan basket is the length of an adult man's palm. All the interfaces have to be stuffed inside, and there is no feeling of prickly lala, smooth and flat. Du Ruoli said.

When the time comes, she will retouch it, and it will be the ins-idyllic style that is popular all over the world, and she will definitely fascinate a group of people.

"It's easy. It's nothing more than being patient and putting in a little more effort. Du Changgui grinned, stood up and walked out: "Uncle, let's gather people to weave baskets by hand!" I'll make it up for you. Good girl, you are really your uncle's lucky star, the lucky star of our whole clan. All of a sudden, he helped his people think of a way to make a living. ”

Who wouldn't make baskets! He's just a middle master, but he can't think of it, and there's no way to turn it into silver.

Du Ruoli smiled and waved her hand: "Go and get busy!" ”

On the mountains north of the Yangtze River, there is an inexhaustible supply of yellow wattle. Du Changgui took his clansmen to look for yellow wattles with good quality and uniform size. Coarse is not good, and tender is not good, only choose the thin and tough one, and weave it to look good and strong.

The clansmen were collectively busy in front of the cave fire, and when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, Du Changgui sent three baskets to Du Ruoli.

The three baskets were all handbaskets she had requested, the difference was one with a bulging belly, one resembling a lotus flower, and one with a red cable flower at the waist.

The shape is beautiful, the workmanship is exquisite, the feel is delicate, and it is 100% attentive. It was better than she expected!

Creativity really needs to be stimulated by money, Du Ruoli took the basket in surprise, admired them one by one, and couldn't put it down: "It's all right, it's all right, just make it up according to these styles." If you have any new ideas, show them to me, and I'll help you check them. ”

When Du Changgui heard that it was okay, he immediately turned around and walked out of the cave: "Okay! Uncle went to get busy! There are still a few bundles of wattles, and you can make up three more to rest early after weaving! ”

Du Ruoli watched him leave, and then talked to Du Ruozhen.

Because of the rattan basket thing, she thought of another handicraft: lace edge.

Lace edging originated abroad and was introduced to China very late, and no one knew it at this time. I once heard my best friend Zhou Mengjin's mother say that as long as there is crochet, it is not difficult to do. When her daughter was a child, the lace on her skirt was all hooked by herself.

There were old objects that Zhou's mother had hidden for decades in the space, and Du Ruoli went in to rummage through, and sure enough, she found a handful of twelve crochet needles and a few books with crochet patterns, as well as several large bundles of threads as thin as hair.

Du Ruoli studied the introductory book for two hours, and finally studied the simplest pattern, and came out to teach Du Ruozhen and let her master a skill.

It doesn't make sense that someone else has housekeeping skills, but her best friend doesn't.

"I've learned a new craft, you're good at it!" Du Ruoli took out the thickest crochet needle and a bundle of coarse cotton thread, and hooked out a small square: "Have you seen it?" You try! ”

"Yes!"

Du Ruozhen thought that she had learned from the Zhao family, so she didn't ask much, took the crochet and cotton thread, and after getting used to one or two stitches, she began to flip her fingers, and it took less than a third of the time to hook out a square of the same size as Du Ruoli: "It's not too difficult, it's much easier than embroidery." ”

"Really? You try this again! ”

Du Ruoli drew a flower on the ground as seen from a primer. The steps are clearly written in the book, she just didn't succeed, she couldn't teach her good friends, she could only rely on her own understanding.

Du Ruozhen squatted on the ground and looked at it carefully for a while, listened to her explain the steps, tried a few times, and was done.

Sure enough, he was clever and could take office.

Du Ruoli gave her a crochet needle and a small ball of black silk thread, and asked her to hook it into a finger wide and 15 cm long lace, and inlaid it with white millet beads:

"The hook is like this, the salary is one or two pieces of silver, and it must be completed within ten days, is it okay?"

Du Ruozhen took the crochet and silk thread, and gave Du Ruoli a white look: "You just talk nonsense, what is wrong with earning silver?" I worked day and night to finish it in five days. ”

"Don't mind." Du Ruoli said: "This work is too eye-consuming, too neck-consuming, or ten days." Ten days later, I will give you a new job, and I will finish it early. ”

"Cheng, listen to you!" Du Ruozhen said in his mouth, and his hand was already hooked. However, the needle and thread were too thin and thin, and it took a long, long time to hook a little bit.

However, she was already mentally prepared, and she was not in a hurry, and she was hooking forward little by little.

If it's easy, why should someone give her a tael of silver?

If you want to earn money, don't you have to work hard and be patient?

A good friend was busy by her side, Du Ruoli was embarrassed to be idle, and then used the thick crochet needle just now to refill the needle on the small square to see if she could give Xiao Ruoyu a cotton vest.

The men of the Du family are looking for Huangjing to weave baskets, and the women are either busy in front of the pot, preparing food for the upcoming journey, or doing needlework and making straw sandals, each busy in their own way.

Lu Jizhou was not idle.

Yao San found a plant of aconitum that was still blooming, and he diluted a large jar of venom according to the method taught by Du Ruoli. Smeared on the arrow and aimed at an adult wild boar running at a rapid pace.

The tip of the arrow deliberately deviated some direction and shot at the boar's buttocks.

The boar was furious, roared, puffed out his big eyes, turned and threw himself at the tree where he was, striking his head against the tree in an attempt to knock him down.

Ideas are always good, but it's a pity that I don't have that life to play with. The wild boar was only halfway through the turn, when suddenly his front legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground, and then his huge body fell down with a bang, and he only snorted twice, then closed his eyes, and passed away suddenly.

Yao San was stunned from the side: "This ...... This...... This...... It's too poisonous...... Hundreds of pounds of wild boars have not been carried for a moment...... I used a whole aconitum and a poisonous ......"

"We were mistaken! What a rage of errors! I even smeared a whole aconite juice on an arrowhead! Lu Jizhou looked at the venom jar in his hand and said, "Aconitum is already precious and difficult to find, and it has been wasted by us a lot. I can't think about it, and it hurts to think about it. ”

Yao Sanmeng nodded: "That's right, the arrows coated with aconitum in the past can only be reserved for the strongest opponents." Hey, if I had known that I could dilute so much, how many brothers would I have to sacrifice...... By the way, master, how did you figure it out? ”

"I didn't figure it out." Lu Jizhou said: "It was someone else who taught me. In these respects, I am far from her! ”

Yao San's eyes rolled, and the gossip asked, "Is that fire girl again?" ”

Lu Jizhou turned his face uncomfortably: "Exactly!" She's a genius, don't call her a fire girl! ”

"Oh!" Yao San said.
