Chapter 45 Use sugar as bait

This little bolt is both a little man and loves to eat sugar. Finally, the fish learned his strange habit of being addicted to sugar. At least this fish has lived for two lives. It's really the first time he has met such a candy-loving child! The fish even speculated that the little bolt's teeth had all decayed...

What makes the fish laugh and cry is that after experiencing the "waiting for sugar" and sugar grabbing incident, Xiao Shuzi seems to feel that the girl is not a difficult person to deal with, and she is not as fierce as Li Erniu. So from the next day, there was a chubby follower around the fish. Wherever the fish went, the follower followed. Obviously, it had upgraded the avoidance of peeping to open surveillance.

This little bolt also has his own little Jiujiu in his heart. He feels that since he has lost face in front of the fish and all his thoughts have been exposed by the fish, he should simply be more generous. From now on, he will no longer hide in the dark to "monitor" the fish and follow the fish openly. Even the fish will go home. To follow, such an open and upright surveillance, the little bolt can still say that it is "protecting fish"!

The fish chased Xiaozhuanzi several times, but Xiaozhuzi's determination to "wait for sugar" was very firm. In addition, recently, the gentleman in the school he went to had something to do at home, so he temporarily stopped the students' schoolwork and let them review at home by themselves. Therefore, Xiaozhuzi can be said to have a lot of time to do this "waiting for sugar" thing. No matter how much the fish can drive him away, he can't be driven away. In the end, the fish can only helplessly let him follow him as a follower.

Let's not mention that the little bolt insisted on being a fish and fart worm. It is said that this fish has almost learned Minxiu after learning from Lv Xiuniang for more than half a year. Of course, this almost means that Lv Xiuniang has taught all kinds of needles and techniques to the fish, and the fish has to practice hard for several years to barely learn Minxiu. In the final analysis, the art of embroidery still has to be practiced diligently.

After dealing with Lv Xiuniang for a long time, she knew that Lv Xiuniang had stayed on Guangnan East Road adjacent to Fujian Road for several years, and later left there and returned to Fujian Road for a long residence.

When Yuer first listened to Lv Xiiniang talk about "Guangnan East Road" and "Fujian Road", he could not understand what it meant or even understood which road it literally. It was not until Yuer had the opportunity to read a book about the mountains and rivers in the Song Dynasty that he understood the place names Lv Xiuniang said. Physical meaning.

Originally, the local administrative system in the Song Dynasty was divided into three levels: state (government, army) and county. At present, Hui'an County, where the fish is located, is Quanzhou Prefecture, and Quanzhou Prefecture belongs to Fujian Road. In modern terms, this "Fujian Road" refers to "Fujian Province", while the "Guangnan East Road" where Lv Xiuniang stayed for several years is now "Guangdong Province", and the later word "Guangdong" is taken from it.

Yuer was glad that although she was a little confused by Lv Xiuniang at that time, she still calmly pretended to understand. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame if Yuer had asked ignorantly at that time where and which road Guangnan East Road was? It turns out that it's really terrible to be uneducated. You must be an educated person wherever you travel!

Although Lv Xiuniang's character is not good, she really has some ability. She only stayed in the area of Guangnan East Road for a few years and learned the local very famous Guangdong embroidery. Although Lv Xiuniang is easier to learn embroidery from other factions because she has a foundation, she still needs a certain talent to learn embroidery from other factions well, otherwise she will only learn four different things in the end.

This Lv Xiuniang may have seen that the fish is talented and not inferior to herself at all. After teaching the basic techniques of Fujian embroidery, she even developed an interest in teaching fish Guangdong embroidery. Fish can learn two different embroidery methods in vain. Although it will be a little difficult to digest for the time being, they still gritted their teeth and are reluctant to miss this good opportunity to learn Guangdong embroidery, one of the four famous embroidery.

It's not good for Lv Xiuniang to teach only the fish, so she even teaches Ma Siniang, so that the fish not only feels better when she has a companion.

After the fish came into contact with Cantonese embroidery, they knew that Cantonese embroidery was founded by ethnic minorities, and slowly formed certain characteristics and became one of the four famous embroideries.

These are all what Lv Xiuniang said to the fish. After explaining the origin of Cantonese embroidery, Lv Xiuniang began to tell Yuer and Ma Siniang some characteristics of Cantonese embroidery, so that they can separate it from Min embroidery first.

There are five characteristics of this Cantonese embroidery. One is the diversification of threads. In addition to the commonly used silk thread and velvet thread, it also uses Kongyu wool to make thread, or ponytail wool as thread.

The second is that the color of Cantonese embroidery is bright and the color contrast is strong. The work emphasizes the gorgeous effect, which is somewhat similar to the characteristics of Fujian embroidery, so the two can communicate in terms of color use.

The third is to use gold thread as the outline of embroidery pattern.

Fourth, the decorative patterns are full and lively. It is commonly used in hundreds of birds and phoenixes, seafood fish and shrimp, Buddha hand melons and fruits and other themes with local characteristics. This is also a common point between Cantonese embroidery and Fujian embroidery. After all, both places are in the south and coastal areas. Naturally, they are used to embroider the locally rich melons, fruits, fish and shrimp.

Five, embroidery workers are mostly male workers. Hearing this, Yuer felt very novel. Unexpectedly, there was a man learning embroidery. As soon as Yuer asked this question, Lv Xiuniang glanced at her with contemptuous face. Yuer humbly consulted Lv Xiuniang and found out that not only the skilled embroiderers in Guangnan East Road were men, but also there were many first-class male embroiderers in southern Fujian.

Although the fish felt novel, she was soon relieved - this is probably the same as many tailors who are men!

After introducing the five characteristics of Cantonese embroidery, Lv Xiuniang then introduced the varieties of Cantonese embroidery products. The varieties of Cantonese embroidery products are very rich, including quilts, pillowcases, bed lints, shawls, headscarves, Taiwan screens, embroidered clothes, shoes and hats, drama clothes, etc., as well as mirror screens, hangings, banners, etc.

These fish naturally remember them all at the bottom of their hearts, and some places they are afraid of forgetting. After returning home, the fish deliberately wrote them down.

After Lv Xiuniang finished talking about the differences and similarities between Cantonese embroidery and Min embroidery, as soon as the fish tried to get started, she found that there was a previous learning of Min embroidery to lay the foundation. This Cantonese embroidery is actually not difficult to learn. After really learning some needles and techniques of Cantonese embroidery, the fish also found that the two embroidery methods actually have many similarities and can learn from each other's strengths.

In fact, the most interesting thing about Cantonese embroidery is that it can use Kong Yu hair and horsetail hair to make thread. Such an alternative thread embroidery must have a unique flavor and make fish eager to try. So after learning to enter the door with Lv Xiuniang, Yuer couldn't wait to try to change the line.

On this day, when Lv Xiuniang was away, the fish quietly discussed with Ma Siniang: "Si Niang, do you want to use that Kong Yu Mao and horsetail hair to embroider the embroidery products?"

Although Ma Siniang has been very curious for a long time, she still deliberately remained reserved on her face. Only the gently fish nodded, indicating that she also wanted to change these novel threads to embroider.

Seeing that Ma Si Niang was as interested as herself, Yu'er couldn't help pulling Li Erniu over and expressed her opinions with great interest: "That Kong Yumao is naturally gorgeous. If it can be used to embroider hundreds of birds and phoenixes, the embroidery will be very beautiful!"

Li Erniu has been forcibly pulled aside by the fish to steal the teacher, so she has more or less learned some small skills from Lv Xiuniang, and the needlework is much more than the previous steps. However, Li Erniu was not as romantic as a fish, but directly chose ponytail hair to express her opinion: "I want to say that if you can use ponytail hair wrapped in fluffy thread to embroider little squirrels or sparrows, the color alone will be very similar, and it will definitely be embroidered lifelike! I just don't know where to find ponytail hair. Not to mention horses in our village, we don't even have many mules!"

Li Erniu's words suddenly extinguished the enthusiasm of the fish and made her complain with a depressed face: "Yes, the horsetail hair alone is so difficult to find, not to mention Kong Yumao."

At this time, Ma Siniang next to her whispered: "Yuer is right. Kong Yumao is really a rare thing. My mother saw that a few thick and long Kong Yumao would be inserted in the blue and white porcelain bottle in the house of a large family in the city, so she also wanted to ask someone to find a few back and put a few in my bottle... ..."

Ma Siniang was taught by Xu's mother to speak slowly. Even the calm fish couldn't help urging her to speak slowly and carefully word by word: "Then did your mother find it later? Si Niang, please say it quickly. Don't whappet us!"

Ma Siniang shook her head slightly and said, "My mother asked many people to help me find it, but I couldn't buy it. I heard that the big bird called Kong Yu is only available in Dali in the west. I have never seen such a big bird anywhere else, so their fur has become very expensive, and it will cost a lot of silver for only a few."

The fish knew that Kong Yu in the Northern Song Dynasty was actually a peacock, but in modern society, there are places like zoos, which can be seen by animals all over the world, which makes the fish forget where the peacock originally grew up, and they don't think the peacock is particularly rare.

At present, after hearing Ma Siniang say this, the fish remembered that he had read a magazine dedicated to peacocks, which said that peacocks like to live in tropical forests or river banks in groups. Because they are produced in the tropics, they are only found in Yunnan and Dali in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The artificial breeding technology of the Northern Song Dynasty is not good, and it is not as good as in modern times, and it is not possible to build a greenhouse like Yunnan climate for peacocks to live. Therefore, there are no living peacocks in the Northern Song Dynasty except Dali and other places. It is precisely because of this that the peacock became a rare creature in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its colorful feathers on it are even more It's hard to find gold.

So Ma Siniang's words were not exaggerated at all, and the fish immediately gave up the idea of using peacock hair to make thread embroidery pictures. Joking--the fish can't even get the hair on the horse's tail, and the peacock hair is much more precious than the horse's tail hair. Younger, you can't even get the rich second aunt Ma. How can the fish get it?

So the fish immediately changed his words and said, "Let's just think about this Kong Yumao. That's not something we can afford. Instead, we can still think about it and find some embroidery, but we don't even have a horse in our village. Where can we get ponytail hair?"

As soon as the fish's voice fell, a chubby little head suddenly came over and shouted, "I have a way to help you get ponytail hair, and I can find a lot of hair at once!"

"Do you have a way?"

Yuer and Li Erniu asked in unison, and at the same time looked at the little fat man who suddenly appeared with a face of disbelief. If the little fat man hadn't come over to talk, the fish almost forgot that there was such a follower behind her...

Xiaozuzi volunteered to say that there was a way to help solve the problem, which naturally caused all three girls to focus on him, especially the fish, and immediately looked at him and waited for him to come up with a solution.

The little bolt was born thin-skinned, and blushed after being looked at by the three fish for a while, but this blushed but made the little bolt feel ashamed and manly, so he couldn't help but be annoyed by his infidelity for a while. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "What's the way I won't tell you? Anyway, I have a way to help you get ponytails!"

The fish knew that this half-year-old child was the most unpretentious, so he curled his lips disapprovingly and said, "Who can't do it? Ask me to talk casually, not to mention the hair on the horse's tail, I also said that I can get dozens of jujube horses back! If you didn't send the ponytail to the three of us, how would we know if you really have the ability? Maybe you can brag if you don't have anything!"

This little bolt loves face, so as soon as he heard the fish say that he was bragging, he was immediately provoked. At that moment, he poured out the words hidden in his heart: "I have a cousin who is a second child in the Laifu Inn in the city. In addition to greeting guests, he also specializes in the stable, and specializes in passing by our Hui'an County for some people. The horse of the sharp guest who came down and added grass to add water..."

After the little bolt hummed angrily, the fish found that the little bolt actually had nothing wrong with it except that he loved sugar and was chubby. At least he was not stupid. The words that just proved that he could really get ponytail hair were very smooth, compared with his cheeky begging for sugar. It's just like two people!

However, when the fish heard what Xiao Bolzi said, he immediately understood that he really didn't praise Haikou. The little man who added water and grass to the guests' horses in the stable of the inn could really pick some tail hairs from the horse's hut.

After confirming that the little bolt could really get the ponytail hair, the fish didn't talk nonsense with him anymore and directly opened the skylight and said to him: "Say, how can you help us get some ponytail hair back?"

Obviously, the little bolt didn't expect the fish's thoughts to change so fast and speak so bluntly. He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and said, "I don't have any other requirements. I just ask you to leave a piece for it when you share sugar in the future, whether I'm present or not. That's fine."

The fish couldn't help bending her lips when she heard it. It turned out that this little bolt was still for sugar! Most of them are unhappy without meat, but this small bolt is unhappy without sugar! What a strange child!

Yuer just wanted to respond to Xiao Shuanzi's request, and Xiao Shuanzi had opened his mouth first: "I could have been waiting for you all the time, but I have to go to school to study in two days. When you share sugar, I won't be able to catch up with the first one..."

So that's it. The fish is still wondering when this little bolt became so polite. Instead of personal tracking and robbing, it adopts a politely scheduled hair style. It turns out that this boy is going to school and can't stay by his side anymore! Xiaobozi's enthusiasm for sweets makes the fish amazing, but who doesn't share the sugar of the fish? So she readily agreed to Xiao Shuanzi's request...

"Ok, as long as you can get a lot of ponytail hair for us, I will leave a big piece for you when I share sugar in the future. Just come down to the old locust tree and get it from school."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Xiao Shuzi said and ran away. As he ran, he added, "I'm going to find my cousin and ask him to help me collect the horsetail hair in the stable!"

Seeing that the little bolt was so careful about this matter, the fish began to wait patiently for the little bolt to send the ponytail hair. And once this thing got in touch with the sweets, the little bolt would do it, so in less than half a month, he really took a handful of ponytail hair to the old locust tree and stuffed the ponytail hair into the fish's hand with a proud face.

"Give it, I said I could get it for you. Now you believe it?"

In fact, Xiaozuanzi said that there was a cousin in the Laifu Inn in the city. The fish believed that Xiaozuzi must have a way to get ponytail hair. After all, this ponytail hair is not a valuable thing, and it has to be collected in a dirty and smelly stable, and only people who have been dealing with horses for a long time are willing to collect it.

In the small half month when the little bolt collected the horsetail hair for the fish, the fish happened to trade with Lin Baolang again. This time, the fish specially put away the bag of sugar sent by Lin Baolang. At present, it is just in time to take it out to thank the small bolt...

"Here, I didn't share this bag of sugar. I specially kept it for you!"

The little bolt originally stood in front of the fish with a proud face, which was a little proud and raised his eyebrows, but his proud look only lasted less than a quarter of an hour. The fish took out a handful of sugar, and the little bolt immediately gave in, and the pride on his face dissipated in an instant. Instead, it is the coveted look...

The little bolt took the bag of sugar in the fish's hand at a very fast speed, and then tightly put the sugar into his own arms. After saying anything, he hurriedly turned around and left, as if he was afraid that this series of actions would stop a little and the bag of sugar would be taken back by the fish!

Xiao Boltzi's look of guarding against the fish from repenting makes the fish feel even more depressed--does she look like the kind of villain who goes back and doesn't keep his word?

Will she still take advantage of the little fat man?!
