Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 10 10. Braiding

After receiving the junior title of "Clear Ear and Vision", Tang Qinqin felt that his vision and hearing had improved significantly.It was like a wisp of breeze blowing by, making my ears feel clearer, and the things around me seemed a little different.

"Xiao Qi. This question-and-answer growth game. Does it still have the ability to improve physical fitness?" Tang Qinqin asked, sensing that the situation was unusual.

"Oh, you are so awesome. I was discovered by you!" I can't imagine that a string of codes is so dramatic.

"Qinqin, please continue to work hard and upgrade. There will be more surprises waiting for you to discover."

"Well," Tang Qinqin responded, she was thinking, why does this game provide opportunities to improve players' physical fitness, maybe it is because some players are too obsessed with studying and not exercising, and their bodies can't keep up?Or is this a small probability event and you start to have koi luck?The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, so Tang Qinqin quickly stopped.

Continue to choose random answers. This time, Tang Qinqin came to a small village with a sense of time.

The houses in the village are all made of bricks and tiles. There are naughty children playing and running on the street. Innocent and lively laughter spreads all the way, mixed with the barking of dogs one after another. Not far away, there is a place that looks like a market, with crowds of people. Bustling, come closer, it seems that you can smell the aroma.

Full of human fireworks.

[Players are asked to go to the market to find the straw weaving artist Master Sun, ask for advice and learn to successfully weave any straw weaving work, and receive Master Sun's praise.

Successfully obtained the junior title of Mental Skills*1, points +5, and physical strength pill*1. 】

"Straw weaving artist. Since we are at the market, let's go to the place where straw weaving is sold." Tang Qinqin walked all the way looking for it. "Hello, aunt, excuse me, where is the place selling straw weaving in our market? Oh, that's it. This road goes straight forward, right? Okay, thank you, auntie!"

After communicating with these locals from all over the world, I found that everyone spoke the same language, with some local accents, which did not affect communication.I don’t know if this place exists in the real world or a parallel world?
Arriving at the stall selling straw weaving, Tang Qinqin came forward respectfully: "Hello, are you Master Sun?"

A large straw mat was laid on the floor of the straw-woven booth. The weaving pattern of the straw mat was tight and beautiful. On it were straw hats, straw mats, the same mat as the one on the ground, and some unnamed straw-woven works.And a thin old man wearing a straw hat was sitting cross-legged on it, quickly knitting the work in his hand.Hearing the question, he raised his head and glanced at Tang Qinqin: "I am, and want to learn craft?"

"Well, yes, master, can I trouble you to teach me?" Tang Qinqin respected these craftsmen from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, okay, you can learn if you want to," Master Sun said expressionlessly: "How many of you young people can sit still? Just come and torment an old man like me."

Tang Qinqin didn't say anything. He quietly walked aside and watched Master Sun's knitting movements carefully.

"There are many kinds of straw weaving, and the materials used are also different. What I use here is mainly wheat straw," Master Sun taught Tang Qinqin seriously while knitting with his hands. "If you don't have a foundation, just start with simple weaving. Let me teach you how to weave a straw hat." He put away the unfinished work in his hand and took four straws from the mat. "You also saw the straw hat. This is the one I am wearing." Master Sun raised his head and signaled He looked at the straw hat he was wearing and said, "The basics are braiding. What we are braiding now is four strands of wheat straw. Place the four wheat straws side by side like this, and then start braiding..."

After looking at it for a while, Tang Qinqin’s eyes said that I knew it!Just pick up four straws and start from memory... What's going on?Don’t you know how to use eyes? ?Is this a braid? I'm afraid it's not a mess of knotted grass!

Eyes: Do you believe it when I say it’s your head?
Master Sun next to him couldn't help laughing, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out with this smile: "Pull it down, come here and take a good look."

With an embarrassed look on his face, Tang Qinqin blushed and came over to look carefully.She has been slow with crafts since she was in elementary school, but she is willing to work hard and learns very seriously.She looked at it twice more and tried to feel it herself. After Master Sun pointed out the mistake again and corrected it, the braid was finally pinched. Although it was far less dense than Master Sun's Zhou Zheng, the braid was still braided. Gradually taking shape and growing longer.

This lesson lasted all afternoon, and Tang Qinqin, who was immersed in braiding, felt more and more accomplished. With her head lowered and busy with the work at hand, she didn't notice that Master Sun's originally critical eyes gradually became kinder.Young people are not afraid of hardship, they can learn things and sit still, and they can be more stupid if they are down-to-earth.

"Okay." Seeing that Tang Qinqin's braids were getting better and better this afternoon, Master Sun was still very pleased, "He is a good boy, much better than those people who came before who claimed to be smart and had their nostrils turned upward for 3 minutes. Come, let me teach you the last step, twisting the straw hat."

"This is a thin braid I made before. After soaking it in water for about 10 minutes, I shook off the water. Then I took a needle and threaded it and started to twist the top of the straw hat. Like this, from the inside out, try it." The master handed the half-finished straw hat to Tang Qinqin, watching her every move.

"No, wrong, oh, you stupid girl." But the old man was worried to death!

"The needle comes from below!"

"What a clumsy person."

"The top of the hat is done, now we need to use a slightly thicker braid... continue."

"Yes, tidying it up here will make you look ugly."

"Oh, I never taught someone as stupid as you."

"How did I teach you about the hat brim and you forgot?! Press it, press it!"

"I can't see it, it's so ugly! It's a good thing you don't rely on your craftsmanship to make a living." Master Sun continued to dislike it.

Tang Qinqin, with a face full of disgust, stumbled and tried his best to finish the straw hat.

It's quite ugly, not upright, and a little crooked.However, what should I do if the little person in my heart just wants to jump for joy and howl?
I made up my own straw hat!

Tang Qinqin was excited in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. God knows how hard she worked to restrain the corners of her mouth from turning up like crazy.

"It's a successful work. Congratulations, kid." It's just too ugly.Master Sun complained inwardly.

"I'll give this hat to you. I'm getting old, and I hope more young people will like and pass on my craftsmanship," he murmured. "I hope the traditional handicraft culture will not end in my generation..."

Tang Qinqin raised his head, looked at Master Sun earnestly, and bowed to thank you: "Thank you, Master Sun. There must be many people who will discover and like our craftsmanship. It will get better and better, integrate the new technology of the times and pass it on forever. "

　See you tomorrow, my dear friend~
