Chapter 81: Strive to Make People Happy
After cutting the whole piece of cloth, Jiang Lili put down the scissors in her hand, picked up a rope and said, "The first step in learning tailoring is to measure your body." ”
Chen Fan stared at the rope in her hand, "How do you measure this?" ”
This is a rope, not a ruler, so it's too far away.
Jiang Lili blushed, lowered her head and muttered, "I don't have a ruler, I can only use a rope." ”
Chen Fan was a little curious, "Then how do you master the size, just use the rope to compare?" ”
Although it can be compared with a rope, there is so much data, how to record it?
Jiang Lili raised her head and smiled, moved her place, pointed to the edge of the table and said, "Look here." ”
Chen Fan looked at the place where she fingered, nothing special?
Wait a minute.
He seemed to have noticed something, and quickly bent over to lean over, and was immediately amazed.
I saw scratches carved on the edge of the table, each of which was neat and neat, clearly a scale, and this edge of the table was a ruler that could not be moved.
Although the accuracy is only 0.5 cm, it is enough for sewing clothes.
Jiang Lili explained softly, "Originally, I had a tape measure, but it was broken into several pieces by a young intellectual, so I used the broken tape measure to carve a scale on the table, and then found a rope to use as a ruler. ”
Chen Fan gave her a thumbs up, "One word, convinced." ”
Jiang Lili blushed and smiled, "I'll teach you to measure first." ”
When she picked up the rope, then she thought that there were only two of them here, if Chen Fan wanted to practice measuring the size, he could only compare it on her, and when she thought of this, she immediately blushed again.
Chen Fan is still a little strange, what's there to be shy about measuring sizes?
Immediately took the rope in her hand, wrapped it around herself, looked down at it, and asked, "How much is my bust?" ”
Jiang Lili's face became hotter and hotter, and she muttered, "It's not like this, you are wearing cotton clothes, you have to tighten it a little, and the position is not right." ”
Chen Fan handed her the rope, then spread his arms with his feet open, "Come on." ”
Jiang Lili, "......"
Later, under Jiang Lili's trembling teaching, Chen Fan first practiced by himself, then practiced with Jiang Lili, and then learned how to draw and how to cut, and finally successfully activated the tailoring skills.
……
This study lasted for more than an hour, Jiang Lili cut the fabric, spread the cotton finely, and then covered the lining, and then put it into the basket and sew it tomorrow.
moved the table into the house with Chen Fan, and prepared to cook.
Now as long as Chen Fan doesn't go out, she will cook rice for two people, and Chen Fan didn't take back the bag of rice that he brought out yesterday, but handed it to Jiang Lili to collect, and she didn't refuse, and the two of them will be considered partners in the future.
When Jiang Lili was busy, Chen Fan suddenly asked, "If I go to dig some silt in the pond, who do I want to report?" ”
Jiang Lili looked at him while washing vegetables and asked, "What are you digging in the mud?" ”
Chen Fan pointed to the kitchen, "This stove is too small, and there is a small pot buried next to a large cauldron, which is not symmetrical at all. ”
Jiang Lili's face was full of surprise, "You still know how to cook?" ”
He can be in charge, he can speak Mandarin, he can fix the radio machine, and now he says he can make a stove, how many things will he have?
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Then you can also make clothes." ”
Jiang Lili smiled, lowered her head and continued to wash the vegetables, not answering this conversation, but said, "The fish pond and the silt in the ditch in the team can't be dug casually, they are all useful."
If you use soil to build a house, you can dig behind the Zhiqing Point, there is a small mound about 100 meters behind the yard, and there is a mud pit next to the mound, and the adobe bricks of Uncle Huang's house are dug there, and the earthwork is also taken there. ”
She looked up again and pointed to the river, "Or wait a few days, the water level in the river may be lowered, and then you can dig in the river, but only in the middle of the river, not near the embankment." ”
Chen Fan looked at the back, then at the east, and muttered for two seconds, "Then I'll go to the mud pit and dig it, it won't take much anyway." ”
……
In the next two days, Chen Fan was very busy.
When Jiang Lili was making clothes, he was watching from the side, and asked her for advice seriously, from measuring to drawing to paper patterns, and finally cutting and sewing, and before you knew it, her tailoring skills had risen to LV2.
In addition to listening to Jiang Lili, he will also draw on the ground with a stone, pick up a bunch of poplar leaves to learn to cut, for him does not need to be too realistic, as long as he can brush experience.
Originally, it was better to use the straw paper in the thatched house than to use leaves, but Jiang Lili bought those papers, and he used them to borrow them, and it was definitely not appropriate to cut them again.
Only Jiang Lili's face is weird, what can a palm-sized leaf sew?
But thinking that there are no conditions now, this is the only way for the time being.
When Jiang Lili went to do other things, Chen Fan went to the dry pit behind the Zhiqing Point to dig up the silt.
The brick-making master said that clay can be used to make adobe bricks, but the best is silt.
Dig out the silt, mix it with the rhizomes of plants such as straw stalks, stir and beat vigorously, put it into a mold and pat it tightly and then pour it out to dry, and after it dries, it is an adobe brick.
If others don't give him a chance to do it, then he will create it himself, and the stove in the kitchen is his first goal.
It is said that the stove did not know who built it at the beginning, it was neither regular nor symmetrical, and there was a small pot next to a large cauldron, and there was no beauty at all, who was not confused when he saw it?
When the adobe bricks are ready, the stove is dismantled and rebuilt, and the new stove is burned for the New Year!
Naturally, Zhiqing Point did not have a mold for making adobe bricks, but there were small saws, hammers, and chisels, which were not as good as carpenter's suits, but they were enough, so they made a box for beating adobe.
After two days of busy work, I made a hundred adobe bricks, thinking that it must be enough.
However, the adobe bricks he made were much smaller than the adobe used for building houses, only larger than red bricks, and no matter how small, they were easy to fall apart.
Just wait for these adobe bricks to dry, and then you can start to change the stove.
……
After two days of busy work, Chen Fan's physique and strength have improved a lot, and the experience points of carpenters and bricklayers have also increased a little.
Sure enough, try to make people happy!
It was January 29th, and when he got up early in the morning, Chen Fan was wearing clean clothes, his face was solemn, and he was ready to go.
Today is the day when the beams and doors and windows are installed in the new house of Huang Laosi's family, Chen Fan has to go over and study carefully, counting the experience of brushing in the past two days, he should be able to upgrade the level of carpenter and bricklayer to the third level.
At this point, it is basically equivalent to a regular job that can be graduated.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Fan was ready to go, as soon as he took a step, he suddenly turned ninety degrees on the spot and walked to the door of Jiang Lili's room, "Fourth Uncle Huang's house is building a house for dinner, aren't you going?" ”
Jiang Lili hurriedly walked out, took out four cents and handed it to him, "I won't go, you go, this is favor money, I have two cents, you shouldn't have any money in your hand, the other two cents are lent to you." ”
Chen Fan was not polite, and directly took the money in her hand, but only accepted two, and said with a smile, "If you want to go together, how can there be a reason that you have a favor but no one can get it." ”
Jiang Lili's face was full of embarrassment, "I really don't go, I don't know what to do when I go." ”
Chen Fan was stunned, "You've been here for three years, haven't you never eaten a feast?" ”
