Happy peasant girl

Chapter 10 Selling Embroidery to Make Money
The whole morning passed while a few people were chatting and laughing, and in the afternoon, the people who had eaten gathered together again. Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Ye each held a child and sat with Mrs. Qin and Linqingxi. Warm up by the fire.

Compared with the slow embroidery in the morning, the Linqingxi in the afternoon was like flying needles and threads. Everyone in the room was dumbfounded to see when she was so good at embroidery.

The Qin family and the Wu family took a closer look at the things embroidered in Linqingxi, their jaws almost dropped from shock.

"Xi girl, you...you..." Mu Shi hugged Lin Nianyu tightly in her arms, she was suddenly a little scared, afraid that Lin Qingxi in front of her was not her daughter.

"Mother, why are you stuttering? Girl Xi's embroidered fish look pretty, I've practiced hard for a long time these days. Grandma, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, sister Chrysanthemum, did I embroider well this time?" Lin Qingxi showed off to everyone a lifelike little fish that she had embroidered with white thread on black cloth.

"It's so beautiful, it looks like the real thing! Grandma has never seen such a good embroidery, girl Xi, you really figured this out yourself?" Mrs. Ye has no doubts, her granddaughter is very smart, how could she imitate it? Will not embroider.

"Well, that's right!" Lin Qingxi could only nod vaguely.

However, everyone in the old Lin's family understood the deep meaning of her words. Lin Qingxi's outstanding embroidery skills as a child prodigy reminded them of the old man Lin Qingxi had met.

Lin Juhua didn't know the internal reason, she thought that Lin Qingxi was clumsy and couldn't learn it, but now she realized that she was not only smart, but also a child prodigy, her eyes immediately aroused admiration for her.

"Little sister, can you teach my sister-in-law?" Qin found out that the little fish embroidered by Linqingxi was so finely stitched that even the fine lines on the scales of the fish could be seen clearly. In the purse, it must be able to sell a few more money.

"Second sister-in-law also wants to learn!" Seeing that Lin Qingxi is so young, she can study hard and practice hard, and she has figured out a new needle method by herself. She is a little ashamed. Not at all.

"Sister Xi, can I... can I follow suit?" Lin Juhua seemed a little excited, she was not as smart as Lin Qingxi, but she thought that as long as she was willing to study hard, even if she only learned [-]%, she could learn more. Sell ​​for a few pennies.

"Okay, girl Xi is here to teach you!" Lin Qingxi deliberately acted like a triumphant child, but even if the three of them didn't talk about it, she still wanted to let them learn a few more acupuncture techniques.

It took Linqingxi three days to teach Qin, Wu, and Linjuhua the three needle techniques of Hunan embroidery. Because of Qin's good foundation, she learned relatively quickly, and because of Linjuhua's hard work and conscientiousness, she also looked good. Wu is a slow learner.

Before the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Wu went back to her natal family in the town, and took the purses embroidered by several people these days to the embroidery shop in the town to sell.

When she came back the next day, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. The purses embroidered by Qin and Lin Juhua with the stitches taught by Lin Qingxi were sold for five cents each.

The proprietress of the embroidery shop not only asked her to get an extra purse and embroidery thread to be embroidered, but also asked her to get two pieces of white cloth that were cut to a size of one foot and said that if the embroidery was good, the price would not be lower.

Although everyone in the old Lin's family knew that Lin Qingxi had a talent for embroidery, she was not asked to embroider on the purses brought back by Qin and Wu at first, but after the second time Wu returned from her natal home, When she was sure that the stitches embroidered by Lin Qingxi taught a few people were very popular, she was given a purse for her to embroider.

Naturally, Lin Qingxi would not be satisfied with a small purse, the New Year is coming soon, and when the family is short of money, she wants to embroider a pair of high-quality goods and sell them for more money.

So, she secretly consulted with Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu, and asked them to go to the town to find the three brothers to find a way to get her some silk cloth and colored thread.

I don't know what Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu said to Lin Qingyun and the others. Anyway, after Lin Qingxi finished embroidering the purse in her hand, Lin Qinghe secretly gave her a small package, which contained a three-foot-square linen cloth. There are also many colored embroidery threads and three embroidery needles of different sizes.

From the day she got the linen and embroidery thread, Lin Qingxi never embroidered in the same room with Qin and the others, but Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu covered her, and the three brothers and sisters found a comparison. A small cave sheltered from the wind, leaving early and returning late every day.

At first, Mrs. Mu was worried that the three of them would go to the other side of the Shanmei River, so he secretly asked Lin Qinghao to follow behind. It turned out that the three children just felt cold and kept warm in the small cave near the foot of the mountain. After a few "surprise inspections", she felt relieved, but she still asked Lin Qinghao to take a look at it anytime.

More than half a month later, on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Qingxi suddenly clamored to go to the town to find her three older brothers, Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu took the initiative to ask Ying to accompany her sister to go.

Seeing that it was the end of the new year, Mrs. Mu also planned to visit the town in a few days and asked Lin Qingxi to wait.But Linqingxi played tricks and insisted on going today.

Linyuanshan was worried that the three children would come to the town, and it happened that he also wanted to sell some of the baskets he had made, so he decided to accompany Linqingxi to the town on the morning of the 21st of the twelfth lunar month.

My grandpa had already spoken, and Lin Qingxi couldn't say anything more, so he could only exchange glances with his two elder brothers, and decided to think about countermeasures tomorrow.

The next day, when it was still dark, Lin Qingxi was pulled up from the bed by Lin Qingmu. After tidying up, they followed Linyuan Mountain to Xiao'an Town, which is the nearest to Linjia Village.

There were not many pedestrians going to the market on the road. After an hour, they arrived in the town.

Xiao'an Town is not big, but it is "complete with all internal organs". Small stalls and vendors have already occupied positions on the street. Blacksmith shops... also opened their doors one after another and started doing business.

Linyuan Mountain sells baskets not far outside the restaurant where Lin Qingfei was staying, while Lin Qingxi, Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu couldn't bear it anymore and went to see Lin Qingfei early.

Because it was early in the morning, no one came to the restaurant for dinner, Lin Qingfei was very happy to see his younger siblings and grandpa, and the kind-hearted restaurant manager even asked them to gather in the small room where Lin Qingfei lived temporarily.

As soon as she got to the room, Lin Qingxi quickly took out something wrapped in black cloth from her arms and gave it to Lin Qingfei. She already knew that her third brother had managed to get these linen cloth and embroidery threads. No one else knows.

Lin Qingfei only opened it for a glance, then opened his eyes wide and carefully closed the things again, and asked Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu to call Linyuan Mountain, Lin Qingyun and Lin Qinghai respectively, saying that there was something important going on. business.

In the eyes of everyone in Lao Lin's family, the young and mature Lin Qingfei is the most knowledgeable, most cautious and steady in doing things among the six brothers, and at the same time he is somewhat cunning and smart. Convinced.
