Section 061 hair embroidery

There were no chili and cucumber seeds in the small store, so Anxiu had to go to Erbo's house overnight to get some.The second aunt was also curious, and asked her why she wanted the pepper and cucumber seeds. It's not spring now, and it would be useless to plant them.

Anxiu smiled and said: "The weather is warm these days, I always feel that I can grow it. Second Aunt, you can lend me some, and I will thank you very much tomorrow!"

"Nonsense, grow things according to the solar terms. It's almost cold now. I've never heard of cucumbers grown in this solar term." The second uncle was amused by Anxiu, "Old lady, you can get her some. Knowing the old man's words, every word is golden!"

The second aunt took some seeds from the wall and gave them to Anxiu.Preserved sweet potato, cucumber, muskmelon, eggplant, and other seeds are mixed with ground ash and hung on the wall to dry.Because these seeds are too small, they are not easy to dry, and they are not easy to store after drying.When planting in the next year, take the ground ash off the wall to dry, and take out the seeds, which will not get moldy and are easy to store.

Seeing that there were still melon seeds, An Xiu asked for more.The second aunt had no choice but to give her some of everything, and laughed and scolded: "You will waste things. But it's already agreed, don't ask me for it again next spring!"

"In the coming year..." Anxiu hesitated again, "If you can buy it, you don't need it from your second aunt. If you can't buy it, you have to give it to me. Who said you are my aunt?"

The whole family laughed.Li Shi smiled and made a gesture to hit her: "Listen, I deserve her as my aunt!"

After arguing for a while, Anxiu went back.Before leaving, Juanzi kept saying that they would get up early tomorrow, and they were going to pick lotus before dawn, and asked Anxiu to prepare some net bags, and later they would pack lotus seeds.

"Only picking lotus?" Anxiu asked, "Why don't you go fishing by the way?"

"Our family doesn't have a big network, so it's troublesome to borrow it. Besides, we don't know how to do it, so forget it." He Jiangsheng laughed.In this era, there are only large nets, that is, a net with an average area of ​​hundreds of square meters, which is only available to those who make a living by fishing.Ordinary farmers use harpoons and fish covers.

Although there is a big river near Hejiazhuang, which is a branch of the Yellow River, there are very few fishermen who make a living by fishing. There are some in Zhangjiazhuang next door.After all, the place near the river has fertile soil, and it is safe to grow food.In these years when the new emperor ascended the throne, he reduced a lot of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. When the rain was not good, he would not be unable to survive.

In a year with good weather and good weather, the days are very prosperous.

"Shu Sheng knows how to spear fish, why don't you take him with you? It's rare for us to go to the river, and we just happen to bring back some fish." An Xiu laughed.She had her own calculations in her heart, if she could find some treasures this time, they would still be divided according to the head, and she would suffer alone.

"Success, anyway, the uncle's boat is very big, and there are not many trees." He Jiangsheng said with a smile.

When Anxiu returned home, he and He Shusheng spent the night planting cucumber, pepper, and cantaloupe seeds in a field, pouring water on them, waiting for them to ripen when they came back tomorrow night, and bringing them to the market to sell.

He Yu'er's embroidery progressed rapidly. In just a few days, Anxiu saw that she had embroidered a lotus flower. The pink petals were placed on the green leaves, which looked lifelike. She couldn't help hugging her and kissing: "Yu'er, why are you so talented?" ? Once you learn it, you will learn it."

He Yuer was tickled by An Xiu, and giggled: "Sister Xiu, it's nothing to say about Erniu, she was better than me when she was just learning."

Anxiu finally felt that the second girl was a big talker and was envious and jealous. When she saw that He Yuer embroidered better than her, she beat her up, so she laughed and said, "She is talking nonsense. You embroider so beautifully, you are much better than her. Yu'er, do you still want to go to her house to learn?"

He Yu'er tilted her head and thought for a while, then turned around and took out a piece of silk embroidery from under her pillow to show An Xiu, and said, "Sister Xiu, when I can embroider as well as Er Niu, I won't learn it."

When Anxiu saw it, her eyeballs almost fell out: on the plain white silk, there was an ink-colored dragon's claw chrysanthemum embroidered. The black silk thread is slightly smooth, as if alive.

"It's so pretty!" Anxiu couldn't help praising her sincerely, thinking that maybe Erniu wasn't bragging, she embroidered really well.Only after He Yu'er practiced for another two or three years would she have such an attainment.As a layman, I was indeed too impetuous and ignorant.

"Sister Xiu, this is hair embroidery!" He Yuer also admired, "Er Niu said, she has embroidered this embroidery for three months, and it can sell for five taels of silver. I want to borrow it to see, but she refuses, Osmanthus fragrans My aunt told her about her, so she brought it back to me, so don't break it."

Osmanthus knew that Anxiu was rich and could afford to pay for it if it was damaged, so she was relieved to let He Yuer bring it back.

"What is hair embroidery?" An Xiu touched the embroidery of the dragon's claw chrysanthemum, and couldn't put it down.

He Yu'er laughed: "Faxiu uses hair as thread."

Anxiu suddenly realized, no wonder the dragon's claw chrysanthemum is shiny, as if alive, it turned out to be because of the thread.It turned out to be embroidered with hair.Hair is thinner than silk thread, slippery, and easy to break. It is indeed not easy for Er Niu to embroider her into a pattern.

Anxiu was even more sure that he had found a good teacher for He Yuer.Aunt Osmanthus really gave her face, so that He Yuer could learn from Er Niu. Such a unique skill should not be spread to the outside world, right?Touching He Yu'er's small face, Anxiu smiled and said, "Learn from Er Niu, learn how to embroider this way, and I will embroider bigger ones for my sister in the future!"

"En!" He Yuer nodded obediently.

Early the next morning, Anxiu got up, heated up the food and put it in the pot as usual, asked He Yuer to eat together when Old Man Li came, and told her to come back at noon to heat up the meal and deliver it to Old Man Li.He Yuer nodded and agreed one by one.Anxiu was afraid that she would not be able to do it, so she lit the house, and repeatedly told her not to leave the kitchen until all the work was extinguished. He Yuer patted her chest to ensure that she would not make mistakes, and she already looked like a little adult.

When she was at her father-in-law's house, He Yu'er didn't care about anything.

When the sky was clear, the seven people met at the east end of Zhuangzi. He Zaosheng and He Musheng each carried two wooden oars, and the other carried two pennies. There were also many cloth bags in his hands, He Jiangsheng brought two bamboo baskets; Anxiu had two or three cloth bags on his shoulders, and He Jiangsheng was holding a harpoon. Compared with the four of them, Anxiu's two hands seemed empty.

There was a piece of land in the middle of the river, about five or six acres. At that time, no one had a boat, only Uncle He Youwang had a dilapidated boat.He took his two sons to reclaim that piece of land, and it turned out to be several acres of fertile land.The policy of whoever reclaims the land will be owned by him. The land protection later issued a title deed to He Youwang, and the piece of land belonged to their family.

In the past few years, three crops of rice have been planted in those few acres of land. The soil is fertile and the water source is sufficient.
