Duan Sigeng scratched his head, "I can only make some household gadgets. I'm not very good at making larger furniture, and I don't have the chance to try it."
Yunling nodded to express understanding.
Large pieces of furniture in this era were generally made in carpentry shops. The wood was heavy and too heavy for one person to work on at home. There were also some expensive materials that the owner did not trust to have them made outside, so he had to hire someone to come to his home. .
Duan Si has to take care of his nearly blind mother, and she can't walk far.
Seeing Yunling's silence, Duan Sigeng, who wanted to try his best to get a lighter sentence, immediately became anxious and said hurriedly: "Miss Tang, just tell me what you want to do. If I can't do it, you can still go to my father to help me." My familiar uncles will definitely be able to handle it for you."
Although the family has no money, the worst he can do in the future is to work as a helper to pay off his debts. At least he can overcome the current difficulties.
Yunling said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I, the Tang family, keep my word and won't pursue you anymore. I just thought that the Ghost Festival will be held in ten days, and the sales of lanterns and the like will be very good. I want to ask you if you will I can make lanterns to sell."
"Yes, yes, I have made a lot of this, and I am just waiting to sell it on the night of the Ghost Festival. Miss Tang, please wait, I will get some for you."
After saying that, Duan Sigeng ran away in a flash, coming and going like the wind, and couldn't stop shouting.
When he came back, he carried a bamboo pole lantern on his shoulder.
There are a lot of them, but the styles are extremely simple. There are only four types of rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, square lanterns, and round lanterns. The outsides are all covered with red, yellow, blue and green lantern paper. They can't be said to be pretty, they can only be said to be average. Average.
Yunling searched for holiday lanterns in modern memory and was a little dissatisfied.
"Uncle Duan, take these lamps back. What I want is another lamp. You can try making it."
"Then... Miss Tang, haven't you taken a fancy to these? I made all these lamps myself, for free." Duan Si said anxiously.
Unable to resist such hospitality, Yunling had no choice but to take a round lantern and said, "Uncle Duan, you can just keep these for the festival and sell them again. My family really can't afford so much."
But Duan Sigeng refused to take it back at all, "There are so many at home, and I can't sell a few on the holiday. How about Miss Tang tell me the style you want, and I can try to make it?"
Yunling then explained how to roll the lantern.
Duan Sigeng became more and more surprised as he listened, "I'll try it when I go home."
Watching him come and go like the wind, and then looking at Mrs. Duan sitting in the main room, everyone in the Tang family fell into silence for a while.
What about the orphans and widowers who have agreed to live together? Have you forgotten?
When Madam Duan and Mrs. Wu had finished chatting and called their son to say goodbye, they realized that they had already left early.
She suddenly felt dumbfounded, and squinted her eyes to look for other people in the fog, "This child is really... My home is at the entrance of the alley, can you please Brother Lao Qi to send it to me?"
Lao Qi sent people out, and Yun Ling followed.
Although the Duan family's house is at the first one in the alley, it is pitifully small in area. The small patio is surrounded by bamboo sticks, and the middle is very clean, with no debris at all.
There are no east and west wing rooms, only three small rooms in the main courtyard.
Duan Sigeng was sitting on a small bamboo chair, staring at the bamboo strips in a daze.
Hearing the noise, he raised his eyes and saw the three of them, and hurriedly ran out, saying apologetically: "Thank you Miss Tang and Uncle Qi for sending my mother back. When I got home, I remembered that my mother was still chatting with the old lady. , I thought about making the lamp and sending it back before picking it up, but I didn’t expect that the lamp was a bit difficult, so I was delayed.”
"You kid!" Mrs. Duan complained angrily, and then said, "Why don't you clean up quickly and pour two more glasses of water to greet the guests."
Yunling hurriedly waved her hand to stop him, "No, I'm here to talk to Uncle Duan."
"Uncle Duan, your hands are so fast."
She counted the bamboo circles on the ground. In just a quarter of an hour, she had made about twenty bamboo circles of three sizes, medium and large.
Duan Sigeng showed a wry smile, "Miss Tang, I seemed to understand when you said it, but I had trouble assembling it, and I was just going to ask you!"
Yunling taught Duan Si Geng to make a rolling lamp that could roll on the ground without the candle flame going out. It was considered an ancient version of a toy.
After talking for a long time, Duan Sigen was still hesitant to take action. Yunling simply asked for twine and made one herself. After fixing the lamp oil holder made of a small bamboo tube, the prototype of a rolling lamp was ready.
Duan Sigen immediately lit a candle and tried it, and found that it was indeed rolling and inextinguishable. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Miss Tang, this lamp is so interesting."
This little girl is really extremely smart. He and his father have been making lanterns for so many years and never imagined that they could do this.
Yunling said again: "Uncle Duan, just use colored paper to paste a layer on it. It doesn't need to be completely filled. It will look better if you paste some and leave out some to look hollow."
Duan Sigeng nodded repeatedly and said worriedly: "After all, you have to roll on the ground to see the magic. I just don't know if it will rain before the Ghost Festival. If the ground is wet, it won't show."
"Why is this so difficult? Uncle Duan, you can put another circle of bamboo strips around the outside of the lamp and put the rolling lamp inside. Then you won't be afraid of puddles on the ground."
"That's a good idea! Miss Tang, just wait, I'll trim some more bamboo and make it more delicate, and I'll deliver it in a minute." Duan Si said happily.
Yunling shook her head, "No need, Uncle Duan. There are still about ten days before the Ghost Festival. How about you make these rolling lanterns at home these days. The more you make, the better. Then we can sell them during the festival." You can also make some money.”
Duan Sigeng was dumbfounded, "Miss Tang, you came up with this lamp, how can I sell it for money? This breaks the rules and it won't work. But if Miss Tang wants to sell this lamp, then I It’s okay to help me make an extra batch, how many do you want?”
Yun Ling smiled, "Uncle Duan, I didn't come up with this lamp. I read it in a miscellaneous book. It means anyone can make it and sell it for money. You don't have to mind." .
Besides, this thing may seem strange now, but it is simple to make. As long as you sell one, people who know the craftsmanship will know it at a glance. There is nothing to hide. "
That is to say, this era has not yet appeared, but as soon as it comes out, people will be able to see through the principle at a glance. Therefore, this wave of business during the Ghost Festival can be regarded as a small way of making money for her poor Duan Sigeng.
"This..." Duan Sigeng was still a little hesitant.
"Uncle Duan also saw the situation at my house. He was busy cleaning up the house. He had other work to do. No one could do this rolling lantern, so he just wanted Uncle Duan to try it. That's all he said, "Do you want to do it or not?" Yes, Uncle Duan can make up his own mind."
Before Duan Si Geng answered, after listening to the conversation between the two parties, Mrs. Duan had already agreed, "Try, let's try, you kid, why don't you thank Miss Tang?"
What a pimple.
People took the initiative to try to pull him out, but this stupid kid didn't understand.
After leaving the gate of Duan's house, Yunling was not in a hurry to go home and walked towards the street with Lao Qi.
