Chapter 25 Teaching Embroidery

There were many people in the village who wanted their wives or daughters to come to Zhou Ran to learn embroidery. Although they were blocked by Zhang, those people did not give up and would still come to Zhang from time to time.

Mrs. Zhang was very moved when she heard Zhou Ran say that she would agree to teach the women in the village embroidery because of her, but she didn't want Zhou Ran to suffer, so she shook her head and said: "Aran, it's okay for Mom to be annoyed by them. If you don't want to No one can force you to agree."

Zhou Ran said seriously: "Mom, we have to live in the village after all, and we don't want to offend everyone in the village. I am willing to teach them."

When Mrs. Zhang heard what Zhou Ran said, she sighed and said, "You are a sensible person."

Zhou Ran was right. If their family wanted to live in Xiyao Village, they couldn't offend everyone in the village. Now everyone in the village knows that Zhou Ran makes a lot of money from embroidery. If Zhou Ran is not willing to teach the villagers at all, there is no guarantee that some people in the village will not cause trouble behind the scenes, and their family will be easily marginalized by the villagers.

After Zhou Ran told Mrs. Zhang about this, she handed over the rest of the matter to Ms. Zhang. She would only be responsible for the embroidery of the villagers.

After Zhang planted the spinach, she went to the village chief's home and told her that Zhou Ran was going to teach the villagers embroidery. Then she asked her to inform the villagers that no matter who they were, they could learn from Zhou Ran if they wanted to. .

The village chief was very happy after hearing what Zhang said, "This is a great thing. I will inform the people in the village right away."

Zhang stopped the village chief and said with a serious face: "Village Chief, although this is a good thing, you have to explain it to the villagers. Aran is willing to teach her eating skills to the villagers. It is because of her kindness. But embroidery also depends on individual talent, and not everyone can learn it. Don’t blame our Aran for not teaching her properly when the time comes when someone fails to learn it.”

The village chief nodded and said: "Don't worry about this, I will make it clear to them. If someone really does not know what is right, I will definitely not spare her."

Mrs. Zhang said with a satisfied smile: "I feel relieved after the village chief said this, so I will go back first."

As soon as Zhang left, the village chief went door to door to tell everyone the good news.

At Li Damao's house, after hearing what the village chief said, Ma didn't believe it and said, "How can they be so kind? Anyone in the village who wants to learn can go and learn, and so can our family? Is there some conspiracy?"

If she had this money-making skill, she would definitely hide it and never give anyone the chance to learn it, let alone teach it to others.

The village chief glared at Mr. Ma angrily, "Don't think that everyone thinks the same as you. Sanlang's wife is very arrogant. Anyway, as I said, your family can go if they want to, and if they don't want to go, don't go. No one is forcing you. .”

After the village chief finished speaking, he went to the next house.

Madam Ma's daughter-in-law, Madam Liu, said cautiously: "Mom, I...shall we go?"

Ms. Liu wants to go. She is good at needlework. If she can learn some embroidery skills, she can earn money from embroidery work to support the family, and her mother-in-law will be more pleasing to her.

Ma glanced at Liu with disgust and hummed, "Go, why don't you go? You can learn from me when the time comes. It's best if you can learn all Zhou's skills."

She had heard that after Mrs. Zhou sold a piece of embroidery, she had enough money to buy Mrs. Zhang and others several taels of silver in a bottle of face and hand grease. If Mrs. Liu could learn such a skill, she could also use a bottle of it. Use a few taels of silver for a bottle of facial oil and hand oil.

Mrs. Liu repeatedly promised, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely study hard." The village chief spent nearly two hours notifying every household in Xiyao Village.

Early on the next morning, many women and girls came to the door of Ye's courtyard. People came from almost every household in Xiyao Village. Some people were carrying baskets of vegetables, some were carrying eggs, and some were even I brought the duck.

The person holding the duck was a little girl about ten years old. The girl was wearing old clothes full of patches. She was as thin as a bean sprout, but she was holding the duck with its claws tied tightly in her hands, as if she was afraid. The duck in my arms ran away.

Someone who had brought nothing looked at the duck in the little girl's hand, curled his lips, and said to the little girl in a strange way: "Big girl, you are so generous, and you even brought the duck. You have grown so big. Have you ever eaten duck meat?”

The eldest girl tightened her little face when she heard this and said: "My grandma asked me to bring the duck. Grandma said that Aunt Ye's willingness to teach us how to eat is because Aunt Ye's heart is kind, but we cannot be ungrateful. My family Although we are poor, we still have to do our best and we can’t make people think that we are white-eyed wolves.”

As soon as the big girl said this, the people who came with things were fine, but the people with empty hands all blushed with embarrassment. Some even wanted to turn around and go home to bring something over. The people who just talked to the big girl were also shocked. His face was stern.

But before those who didn't bring anything could move, the courtyard door of Ye's house opened. Mrs. Zhang invited everyone in, and those people had no choice but to follow.

Zhou Ran asked those who brought things to put them all in the corner of the yard, and said with a smile: "I accept everyone's wishes. You should take these things back when you go back later."

"How can this be done? We can't let you teach us skills in vain. This is all our intention." Some people who brought things objected.

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "We are all from the same village. This is not why I teach you embroidery skills. If you really want to do your best, then wait until you have learned the skills before giving me the handkerchiefs you embroidered by yourself."

After saying this, Zhou Ran said directly: "Okay, let's just talk about this. Now let's start talking about embroidery."

When everyone in the courtyard heard this, they immediately became quiet.

Zhou Ran cleared her throat and said: "The first thing I want to tell you is the materials and tools used for embroidery. Embroidery generally uses embroidery stretchers, embroidery frames, embroidery scissors, embroidery needles, embroidery grounds, and embroidery threads."

"Commonly used embroidery stretchers include hand stretchers and roll stretchers. Hand stretchers are used to embroider small pieces of embroidery, such as handkerchiefs, purses, sachets, etc., while roll stretchers are used to embroider large pieces of embroidery. "

"Embroidery frame..."

After Zhou Ran briefly introduced the tools used for embroidery, Zhou Ran introduced Su embroidery and several simple Su embroidery stitches to everyone.

After saying all this, Zhou Ran took out the embroidery bandage and demonstrated to everyone the first stitch she just mentioned, Qi stitch.

After the demonstration, Zhou Ran asked everyone to try it themselves.

While everyone was working on it, Zhou Ran looked around and found that almost half of the people who came today had big and ugly needles, and some even held the needles in awkward postures, which was obvious. I never did any needlework at home.
