The Ugly Ger's Farming Story

Li Changfeng took the bowl and saw Xu Qing smacking his mouth with some unsatisfactory intentions. He felt happy for a while. Xu Qing didn't eat much these days, but he managed to eat so much today, "Wait, I'll add some salt to you Pour a bowl."

Xu Qing nodded, and waited for Li Changfeng to bring another bowl over. After he finished drinking, he was full.

After eating, Xu Qing moved there without wanting to move, and after Li Changfeng had finished eating and cleaned up, Xu Qing followed Li Changfeng to the courtyard dam.The ebony from last time was not used up, and Li Changfeng was using the remaining ebony to make some wooden dolls.

The wooden doll that Xu Qing and Li Changfeng gave to Geer Xie when they got married, they like it very much, they put it on the cabinet in the room, and they can still smell the faint fragrance when they sleep at night.

While making wooden dolls, Li Changfeng said to Xu Qing: "Before the autumn harvest, I plan to use the money from selling wooden dolls to build our house, so that you and your children can live more comfortably." Everything is fine in summer, but sometimes there is too much rain, and some parts of the house are still leaking!

Xu Qing wanted to rebuild his home a long time ago, and the family now has a total of 45 taels of silver, which can be regarded as a relatively well-off person among the peasant family.

"You want to sell wooden dolls right now?" Xu Qing had the idea of ​​selling wooden dolls, but he really didn't think about how to sell them, where to sell them, at what price, and what kind of excuses to let others Accept to buy this thing.

Li Changfeng quickly made a pair of dolls. During this period of time, he has been able to make dolls with ease, "I will use the pile of dolls made of pine wood to practice my hands and see the market, and then I will use this pile of dolls." The scented dolls will be sold in the towns of some elegant houses."

Xu Qing made Li Changfeng a newcomer doll that looks like a log color, but has a simple and honest expression, and a newcomer doll made of ebony that is slightly dark black and looks very majestic at first glance. Let alone, as long as Some knowledgeable people, with some money in their hands, will definitely buy newcomer dolls made of ebony.

"What did you do, old man?"

Xu Qing looked at a wooden doll in the shape of an old man with a walking stick that was about to be completed in Li Changfeng's hands, and felt that Li Changfeng's hands were just hanging open!

"There are a lot of people getting married these days. I have already made enough dolls for newcomers. I want to make some dolls for old people and children, so that even if it is not the peak season for getting married, I can still earn income." Li Changfeng held his hand while speaking. The doll for the old man in the house was ready, and Xu Qing brought it over, and it became more and more familiar the more he looked at it, "This really looks like old man Lin!"

Li Changfeng twisted his stiff neck, "I just want to see if I can make a wooden doll according to the person in my memory. It seems that it is possible."

Xu Qing looked at the palm-sized "Old Man Lin" and thought of modern photos, which are simply ancient photos! !

"Young man, sir, I am optimistic about you! Make one for us when you have time. When you get old, you can take it out to show off to your children and grandchildren. When we were young."

Li Changfeng put the pine dolls and ebony dolls away separately, "That's for sure! Then sell these first, spread the reputation, the effect will be good, and then bring out the ability to make dolls by looking at people. I’m not afraid that others will learn this skill secretly.”

Xu Qing stood up and stretched, and nodded when he heard this, "Anyway, you are quick, but there are too few ebony woods, and the price should be higher. You can go to the mountain to see if there are other suitable woods. Come and do it.” When he entered the mountain for the first time, he found a lot of nanmu, which is also a good wood.

In the end, the two of them discussed, first of all, the ebony newcomer dolls that have been prepared so far will be divided into eight pairs, six pairs of elderly people, and four pairs of children. There are eight pairs of newcomer dolls in total, two elderly dolls, and six child dolls. If you sell them all, it will be 100 taels!

The pine new dolls come in pairs, one for the elderly with 66 Wen, and one for the child with 46 Wen. It could have been 44, but Xu Qing felt that he was not active, so he changed it to 46.

"I'll go to the town to sell it tomorrow, and I'll go to the mountains this afternoon, so don't go, just stay at home." Li Changfeng thought about Xu Qing's jumpy temper, and wanted him to stay obediently. At home, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, so I reluctantly added: "If you really feel that you have nothing to do, go talk to Xie Amo."

Xu Qing also agreed honestly, he was also pregnant for the first time, and he didn't know many things, so he had to be careful, "Okay, then I will tell you about a kind of wood, take a closer look, if there is any Bring it back directly, and don’t need to look for others.”

What Xu Qing told Li Changfeng was nanmu, which is hard, durable, excellent in corrosion resistance, has a special fragrance, and can avoid insects. If you want to make wooden dolls, you can look at them for a long time, and they will not It will be easily eaten by insects, and Nanmu is an excellent choice.

Originally, Xu Qing thought that it would be great if Li Changfeng could find Nanmu. After all, it was really difficult for others to understand it with just a few words of his description and a few leaves drawn on the ground. In the end, Li Changfeng Surprise yourself.

There are generally three types of nanmu: golden nanmu, fragrant nanmu and water nanmu.Golden nanmu is the best kind of nanmu. As long as the golden thread is obvious, it can be identified as golden nanmu. Under the light, the golden thread can be seen shining, bright and exquisite. It used to be a special wood for the royal family. It can be seen that it is noble. The second type is Xiangnan. The wood of Xiangnan is slightly purple, and the fragrance is very strong and persistent, so it is named Xiangnan. Its texture is beautiful and its material is not as delicate as Jinshennan, but it is also a very good material.

The third type is water nanmu, and it is the worst kind of wood among nanmu. It is somewhat similar to salicur, and is suitable for making small furniture such as stools. The two nanmu trees that Li Changfeng found this time, one is golden nanmu. One is Xiangnan, but Shuinan has not been found.

"You entered the back mountain?!" The chances of finding this thing in the periphery are pitifully small!

"No, it was not far from where we met the pair of "pheasants" and wild couples last time," Li Changfeng said to Xu Qing as he set up two nanmu trees on the courtyard wall.

The corners of Xu Qing's mouth almost twitched after hearing this, what kind of pheasant!It can't be said to be a wild mandarin duck, it sounds better, but when thinking of Luo Jiao's look at Li Changfeng, Xu Qing feels that this "pheasant" is also nice!

"A lot?"

Li Changfeng made a big gesture with his hand, "Much, that piece is like this, I just feel that the two are a bit confused, no, I just pulled one back for you to see, and I'll go back and chop it off. "

Xu Qing suppressed the joy in his heart, tried his best to restrain himself, and told himself that the pregnant woman would not be easily excited, "Don't cut it carelessly!"

So Li Changfeng ran several times in a row, and happened to meet Wei Laoer on the way, and he even brought it with him a few times. This wood almost took up the yard, causing Xiaobao to jump up and down. The place where it played They are all taken over!

The next day Li Changfeng carried a basket of wooden dolls to the street early to sell them, and Xie Geer's clothes that Xu Qing wore from the pharmacy had been washed and dried, and he returned them by the way.

Xu Qing learned how to make clothes from Xie Amo at home, "This kid, if you say it late, he will come out soon! If you say it quickly, he will have to wait another ten months! No, you are still quite flexible now." When you are young, you have to learn how to make clothes, and from now on, children and men will not have to buy clothes all the time!" Xie Amo is planning to give Xu Qing to the church hand in hand.

Xu Qing shook the finger that had been pricked by the needle again, and nodded in pain, "Learn, you have to learn if you don't want to learn!"Seeing Xie Ahmo like that, as soon as he saw himself shaking, he looked straight at him, which made Xu Qingshen panic.

Seeing Xu Qing's clumsy appearance with the needle, Xie Ama sighed, "Don't say thank you, I ask so much from you, which farmer's man, children's clothes and shoes are not the head brother himself Made it? And when they put on the clothes you made, let alone how they feel, it’s just you, that’s also full of satisfaction, isn’t it!”

Xu Qing stared at Xie Amo as he dexterously shuttled among the fabrics, "You made all the clothes on Uncle Xie's body?"

Xie Amo bit off the end of the thread and spit it out, with a proud expression on her face, "Isn't it! I may not have other skills, but if it's like making clothes or shoes, I'm number one in this village, and no one dares to do it." Call the second!"

Xu Qing burst out laughing, "You are the second, so no one dares to be the first!" Xie Amo waved his hand indifferently, "Isn't that what they mean! Anyway, I mean I just want to tell you that learning to make clothes has only advantages and no disadvantages!"

"I know, don't worry, I will learn it honestly!"

Hearing such a strong assurance from Xu Qing, Xie Ahmo also felt very relieved, so as long as there is nothing to do, Xie Ahmo will come to Xu Qing on time to "teach class!"

At noon, Xie Ama had lunch at Xu Qing's house. After eating and staying for a while, he saw that Xu Qing was sleepy, so he took the initiative to leave. Xu Qing was really sleepy, maybe it was because the weather was too hot, maybe it was because of pregnancy The drowsiness brought about, Xu Qing fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

Li Changfeng carried a bag of rice, a pair of big pig bones, and some snacks, wiped the sweat on his face from the scorching sun, and walked home quickly. Xu Qing was alone at home, so he was worried.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!"

Li Changfeng opened the courtyard door, and was greeted by Xiaobao's excited bark, but Xu Qing was nowhere to be seen. He looked at the scorching sun, thinking that Xu Qing should be taking a nap, so he put the rice away lightly, and the pig Wash the bone clean, put it in a pot beside it, put it on the fire, boil it slowly, fetch another bucket of cold water, take a refreshing cold shower, and then go into the room.

Sure enough, Xu Qing was taking a nap, Li Changfeng sat by the bed, bent down and kissed Xu Qing's face, and after watching quietly for a while, he left quietly and closed the door.

Xu Qing slept for one and a half afternoons, but it was not like before. After sleeping for too long, his head became dizzy, but he felt that his whole body was getting stronger. Thinking about his body that had not completely got rid of the hot feet, Xu Qing blinked, Then he entered the space that he hadn't been in for a long time.
