Chapter 38 Embroidery woman

"Don't, don't! Ba Niangzi, don't find another man! You have to be 'one-time life' to find someone else, and you can be called 'second-time acquaintance' when you find me! Don't let go of the ready-made benefits!"

Yuer was not in a hurry to reply to Lin's goodslang when he heard the words, but asked with great interest, "Yu'er is young and stupid, so please ask Uncle Lin to carefully tell Yuer about the ready-made benefits."

"Ba Niangzi, if you continue to help me with beads, then I can give you another bag of beads, and you don't have to add any more money to bet on me. That is to say, as long as you continue to bet the ten cents you put with me, you can get two bags of beads back at a time, and you can get more beads to change your wages!"

Just kidding!

The accessories of this fish string are so beautiful, and the small patterns added are also just right, which immediately doubled the price of the accessories, which greatly improves the profit of Lin Hualang! That is to say, the fish is like a cash cow, and how can the forest man foolishly give up the cash cow to others?

So after Lin said a lot of words, he saw that the fish was still just smiling and looking at his wallet with innocent eyes, without any intention of responding to his words, which made him anxious...

However, Lin Baolang soon understood what she meant through the fish's eyes. He was about to win over the fish and let her make beads for himself for a long time, so he immediately boldly took out the money bag, counted a handful of copper plates and stuffed it into the fish's hand, saying, "Generally speaking, I will give ten cents to help me string a bag of beads. Pay, this is the pay for stringing beads into ordinary jewelry step by step.

"But if you spend more time stringing beads more than ordinary jewelry, I will give you twelve cents as a job, which can be regarded as giving two extra copper coins to encourage people to spend more time..."

Lin cargo Lang paused here. When the fish showed a clear look, he pointed to the copper plate in the fish's hand and continued, "At present, I have given you 15 cents as a job. This is a very high job. If you go to other goodsman, I promise that they will not be willing to give you this. What a high wages!"

Lin goodsang's words are to let the fish continue to cooperate with him at ease, but it also let the fish see the value of the fruits of his labor, and although the fifteen cents are not much, it makes the fish happy in his heart - this is the first fish to earn by relying on his real ability after crossing to the Northern Song Dynasty. A bucket of gold!

However, at present, the fish will only temporarily hide her joy in the bottom of her heart. There is no expression on her little face. She stuffed the fifteen penny into her own small purse, and the little man bargained with Lin, "Uncle Lin, the fish knew that you saw the fish stringed the beads beautifully, so she gave it to the fish. Such a high wages, but..."

The fish deliberately dragged the word "but" long until Lin Huolang's appetite was high, and then continued with a smile on her face: "But my mother said that these beads are too laborious, which will not only delay the fish from learning needlework, but also delay the fish from reading and reading with the eldest brother. After a long time, they will also treat the fish. Bad eyes..."

The fish first talked about the disadvantages of a lot of beads, which made Lin's eyebrows knot and his heart was very anxious. The fish slowly said the key point: "Uncle Lin, if the fish delayed these things that should have been done, but only got 15 pieces of money, then It's not cost-effective, so the fish thinks it's better not to string together.

"No strings?! This...it's a pity!" Lin Kuang was so anxious that he became a little unfavorable in his words. At the same time, he quickly turned his brain to think about how to let the fish continue to help him.

The fish beside her was quietly proud in her heart when she saw the situation, but on the surface, she looked very embarrassed and continued to say worriedly: "But the fish wants to earn some money to buy pen and paper for her brothers, and she is also in conflict! Hey, if the wages of this string can be more, the fish can change more pen and paper and go home no matter how tired it is, the fish is willing to continue to string it, but unfortunately Uncle Lin only gives the fish 15 pay for the work..."

When Yuer said this, Lin Kuang finally understood - it turned out that the little boy Yuer thought he had less money! To put it bluntly, he even came out with a lot of pitiful excuses!

Lin Huolang suddenly looked at Yu'er with a depressed face, while Yu'er still looked sadly. That look clearly conveyed the meaning of "It's not that I don't want to work for you, but that your boss has given too little work", which made Lin Huolang almost vomited blood...

After a moment of thought, Lin Baolang first looked at Yuer's sad eyes, and then looked at the bracelets and necklaces he had deliberately picked out. Finally, he bit his teeth and said with a sad and indignant face, "20 cents, each bag of beads will give you 20 cents of copper as wages. This is already the highest job I can give. Money! No matter how high I am, I can't make a penny! But Ba Niangzi, you have to promise that you will string the beads in the future in the same style as those sent today.

As soon as Lin's words were finished, the fish immediately swept away the sadness on her face and replied happily, "No problem, just as you said - twenty cents for each bag of beads!"

"You... why did you suddenly become so cheerful?"

Yuer's extremely cheerful answer made Lin Kuolang suddenly feel like being deceived and stepping into the trap, especially after seeing the satisfied smile on Yuer's face, the feeling of being cheated became deeper...

After the fish successfully bargained, he had consciously fished out two bags of beads from Lin Hualang's bamboo basket. After putting them in his arms, he waved goodbye to Lin Hualang with a smile. Before leaving, he finally gave Lin Hualang a kind comfort: "Uncle Lin, don't worry, the fish promises to send two bags of beads more than today. These accessories are still beautiful, and I will definitely let you sell them at a better price!"

It's okay for the fish not to say this. As soon as he said it, Linhuo lang felt that he had been tricked by the little clever ghost Yu'er! However, at this point, and the jewelry of the fish string is really beautiful. Lin Baolang was only sad for a moment and obediently accepted the fish's calculation. Lin Baolang, who was full of grief and indignation, could only comfort himself with the last words of the fish...

And after the fish went back with beads, they stringed them into unique accessories more carefully than last time, and slowly found fun in the beads. After converting the money-making work into his favorite interesting things, the finished product stringed by the fish went to another level. When Lin Huolang came to receive the goods, he was more satisfied again and again, and finally made him feel that it was not a loss at all to give Yuer 20 cents as a job!

And the fish also took the money earned by beads, changed some paper, ink and penbooks with Lin Kulang, and also changed some relatively rare straw gadgets. This paper ink pen and fish were divided into more than half of Yang Dalang and other brothers, and the rest were kept for themselves to practice big characters.

The sketchy fish was sent to Yang Liulang, so that he could learn from the compilation methods of these novel gadgets, and it was best to use these compilation methods for himself. Yang Liulang lived up to the painstaking efforts of the fish. In a few days, he could study the gadgets sent by the fish and make a more refined one, making the fish more and more confident that Yang Liulang would become a famous craftsman.

After a long time of beads and practicing big characters, the fish slowly developed a little patience. Not only did she not panic at all when things happened, but she could also sit quietly all day, follow Liu's schoolgirl red and Luozi and other activities, and learn quickly because she had enough patience.

Day after day, the fish slowly grow up with these activities that can hone their temper. Unconsciously, the fish is more than six years old. At this time, the fish is already a quiet little adult who speaks and does things calmly. Even the old-fashioned Yang Dalang couldn't help praising Yuer, saying that she had only practiced for a year, as if she had been completely reborn. In a blink of an eye, she became a rare little lady in the village with very quiet words and deeds.

How did Yang Dalang know that Yuer took advantage of the opportunity to grow up quickly because he really didn't want to pretend to be an innocent little Lori. Anyway, Yang Qiniang is so sensible when she is only five years old. At present, the fish is more than six years old and has undergone some special exercises. It is normal for her to become mature and sensible.

Yuer learns about beads and all kinds of female celebrities, in fact, in order to have a long-term skill in the future. After all, almost everyone can do these ancient women, which can be said to be the basic skills they rely on for survival. Therefore, after practicing his patience, Yuer learned from the female red very seriously and learned Liu's family-seeing skills very carefully.

But Liu is only an ordinary peasant woman after all, and what she knows is only practical work such as sewing and mending, absorbing soles and making clothes. Liu doesn't understand the exquisite female red work such as embroidery, flower cutting and knitting that the little women in the city can do. After all, Liu has to go to the fields and do housework most of the time, and has no time to study these fine work. It is good to be familiar with and skillful in the most practical work.

It's just that it's not difficult to learn to sew clothes and soles, and they are also relatively rough jobs. Fish's "genuity" have learned all the basic skills in less than half a year. There are no special skills for these men's basic skills such as sewing clothes. After learning it, they rely on sewing and practicing hands day after day, and slowly let them work hard. Practice makes perfect.

But before the fish traveled, at least he also embroidered a few cross-stitches. In his heart, he has been yearning for ancient embroidery for a long time. He has long wanted to experience it himself. No matter how bad it is, he can learn a little. In the future, he will embroider a beautiful little handkerchief for himself, or in the future, his brothers will marry a wife and embroider a mandarin duck. Water-playing pillowcases and so on.

Even if you can't learn those famous Su embroidery and Xiang embroidery, you can learn simple embroidery skills, right? This is one of the great ideals of the fish classmate after crossing!

So one day, Yuer finally couldn't help but take the initiative to express her expectations to Liu: "Mother, Yuer wants to learn some fine and beautiful embroidery workers. Is there any aunt or little lady in our village who can do this? The fish went to her house to learn from her.

Liu laughed on the spot and said, "Sister, you think it's easy. Not to mention whether these people who work hard are willing to teach you embroidery workers, even in our whole village, I'm afraid we can't find a person who can do such fine embroidery!"

Yuer had known for a long time that there were not many women who could do fine embroidery in Xiaoqi Village, but she thought there would be at least one or two exceptions, right? You can't find a person who can teach her in the whole village, can you?

Seeing that Yuer listened to her words with disbelief, she reached out and touched her little head and explained in detail: "The Hui'an women in our village have always been known for their diligence, and they usually have to go to the field to work and do housework, and some will even follow their men to fish! I can't finish the work inside and outside here..."

"How can a woman who has to do so much work every day have time to learn other things? Therefore, most of the women in our village will not learn the fine embroidery skills learned by the little women in the city. Even if they learn these impractical activities, there are no good materials at home for them to embroider. They can't waste those good skills on coarse cloth, can they?

Liu's words are very reasonable, but before Yuer traveled, she often saw the description in the novel that ancient women made money by embroidered handkerchiefs and so on to support their families! Is it possible that these women make money by sewing clothes for others?

Yuer thought for a moment and asked the questions in her heart: "Mother, Lin Huolang often tells some anecdotes in the city. Yuer heard him say that many women in this city rely on embroidered handkerchiefs, embroidered screens, etc. for money. Isn't there no one in our village to make a living from this job?"

Liu smiled and gave an angry look at the fish and said, "Hidn't Lin's goodslang also say that she was a 'woman in the city'? Only those women in the city or maids in the mansion can do these exquisite work. They have no land or boat in their family, so they can only rely on this to make a living.

"The work they know may have been passed down from generation to generation in the family. Maybe they specially went to worship the master like our Liulang, but no one can learn it casually! And we rural people, even if we want to learn, I'm afraid that no master is willing to accept..."

Liu couldn't help but stop and sighed for a long sigh and said, "People in the city inevitably dislike our shallow eyes and can't learn the fine skills. Besides, most of those embroiderers with some real skills will be raised in the house by rich people to teach those noble little ladies. They are used to teaching rich little women. Lady, naturally, the wild ladies in our countryside and villages can't get their eyes. In the final analysis, it's still the power, family background and money.

This was originally a topic raised by the fish, but Liu seemed to be addicted to it, and finally followed this topic to provoke a recent gossip in the village, saying it with great interest...

"I don't know if my sister has heard the girl of the Li family nagging about the interesting thing about the Ma family. I heard that the Ma family, which started more than a year ago, was intent on marrying her daughter to the city, so she specially invited an embroidered woman from the city to come home to make delicious food and invite her good ** Ma's little wife."

The "Ma family" in Liu's mouth is the "second aunt Ma" that the fish met when she saw the bustle a year ago, and this Ma family's daughter refers to Ma's second aunt Ma's hard-working daughter and Ma's fourth mother. Ma Si Niang originally had a brother and two sisters, but I don't know what evil it was. The two sisters died one after another before they grew up, and Aunt Ma has never had a son and a half daughter, so there is only one son and a daughter left in the Ma family.

Maybe there is only one daughter left. Aunt Ma held Ma Si Niang in her hand and spoiled her when she was a child, and she was even more single-minded to marry Ma Siniang to a large family in the city to enjoy happiness, so that the whole family can get the glory of her son-in-law and move out of Xiaoqi Village to live in the city.

So Ma Siniang is only four years old now. Aunt Ma spent a lot of money to invite an embroidered woman back from the city, determined to lose Ma Siniang's kung fu and ** to those serious little women in the city, and then she will be qualified and have the ability to marry someone in the city.

These gossips have been circulating in the village. Yu'er has heard Li Erniu's vivid description several times, so when Liu said this, Yu'er followed her words and said, "The fourth lady is more than one year younger than Yu'er. Aunt Ma invited the embroidery mother to teach her female workers at home. In the future, if the fourth wife really goes to the city Compared with the little ladies in the city, they will definitely not lose to those little ladies in the city.

Yu'er's words are also a reasonable guess, and there is nothing wrong with it. Unexpectedly, Liu still laughed rudely. While laughing, she hugged Yuer and said some gossip that Li Erniu didn't know and could not broadcast to Yuer live: "Will Ma Siniang's work harder in the future than in the city? Hello, little lady, that's not necessarily true! Let's see how good the embroiderer invited by Aunt Ma is! We have to see how long this embroidered woman can stay at Ma's house..."

Liu's words were very puzzled and quickly asked, "How can the embroidery lady invited in this city be so bad?" My mother just said that this embroidery lady can't be done by everyone. She has to have real skills.

"Sister, don't you know the hidden reason for the matter of 'Ma family invites embroidery', so you make such a guess... Didn't mother just say that the embroidery women in the city have eyes above her head and look down on us rural people?"

"Well, my mother just said that." Yuer obediently cooperated with Liu's gossip Q&A.

"They don't like us rural people. If they hadn't been able to get along in the city and get food, how would they have condescenced to live in our small village and teach Ma Si Nihong? Speaking of the embroidered woman invited by Aunt Ma's surname Lu, no one in the city doesn't know her name at present, and everyone knows that she was kicked out of the house by the previous patron..."
