Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 81

On the mountainside, the house with blue bricks and black tiles is very eye-catching, especially the small second floor, which is even more eye-catching. Maybe it is for good looks, maybe it is to reduce the weight of the foundation below. The second floor is not used. What kind of green bricks, but bamboo is used as the wall. The two layers of bamboo rafts are tightly bound, and there is a layer of wooden boards inside. The sheet doesn't look very heavy, but if you go inside and look up, you can see the wooden boards on it. In order to insulate the heat and make it more comfortable in summer, An Dalang used two layers, and there is still a gap in the middle. A layer of bamboo was added to make a thermal insulation layer. An Dalang, who had learned how to build a wooden house, had a carpentry skill, and his creativity was fully brought into play. The house was so stupefied that anyone would tilt it up. A thumbs up and a shout out.

With such a good house, Zhao Yiyi's petty bourgeois sentiment was also aroused, and he asked An Dalang to use a full set of bamboo furniture upstairs, which can be regarded as matching the overall architectural style, and also brought out a lot of white furniture. The windows were covered with linen, and there was no direct partition between the two rooms. Instead, a large round door of Duobao Pavilion was made out of bamboo, and curtains were made of green linen. Put it down, and the inside and outside can be separated.The outer room is the living room, with round tables, round stools, coffee tables, chairs, bookshelves, desks, everything is available, and the inside is the bedroom, beds, benches, wardrobes, cages, and clean rooms, everything is available.

When Mrs. Zhao Qian came to this room that had been completely renovated for the first time, she felt a little stupid. Looking at the room, she smacked her mouth and said unnaturally:
"Danny! I, this, why do I feel that this is not what our family in the mountains looks like, it feels like a palace!"

"What kind of palace! It's just neater and neater. An Dalang can do these things himself, so it's convenient. It doesn't cost much. You just need to cut bamboo and add everything slowly. You look like Fei Yinzi, it’s just someone who doesn’t know how to do it.”

Zhao Yiyi snickered a little, what Zhao Qian said reminded her of a story inadvertently, it seemed to be a scene in that TV drama, the old lady ate persimmons, and felt that being able to eat persimmons casually was the treatment of the empress , This is a joke caused by eyesight and knowledge, I really can't think that I can encounter such a thing in real life.

"However, if someone else reads this, I'm afraid that everyone, like me, thinks that you have so much money that you can pile up into a mountain. How do you know this? Son, don't we need to be so ostentatious?"

As soon as Zhao Yiyi said this, Zhao Yiyi's eyes froze, and then became a little warmer. This stepmother was really thinking of her own sake, and since that was the case, she would not say anything false.

"Mother, this is Dalang and I's room. If anyone comes up on weekdays, if anyone comes to be a guest, it's all in the main room below. That's the place where guests are being treated right now."

Speaking of the main room, Mrs. Zhao Qian kept her mouth shut and said again:
"It's different to have a carpenter at home. The furniture in the house looks so nice and neat. The big table looks decent to me. If we build a house tomorrow, you can talk to your son-in-law. I also want to make such a table for the family. The table at home is still made when your father and I got married. It has been many years. The corners of the table are a little crooked. "

At this moment, Mrs. Zhao Qian was a little bit complaining about her dead man, why did she learn to be a bamboo craftsman instead of a carpenter!Look at the furniture made by this son-in-law, the carpenter can make the home much more decent.The more Zhao Qian thought about it, the more she felt that her man really chose the wrong job back then.As far as she can see now, even being a blacksmith is better than being a stripper. Who would let a blacksmith repair weapons and iron!Thinking about the money her kid spent on bows and arrows recently, she felt that the blacksmith really made money.

Zhao Yiyi was a little bit dumbfounded, this stepmother seemed to come to tell her about the consummation of the house, why did she come here after going back and forth.But she still had to talk to her, otherwise the stepmother might think she was unwilling.

"Understood, when the time comes, I will ask Da Lang to make a set of furniture, but mother, Da Hu seems to be much better at hunting recently. He has already given all the forty rabbit skins he agreed to a year, even sheep skins. He also gave a lot, and it doesn't take long for the money for the bow and arrows to be replenished. In the future, if he has prey, it will be all his own, and the family will have a much better life."

Speaking of his son's current abilities, Zhao Qian immediately smiled.

"No, I really didn't expect that your brother has such a good talent for hunting. The old hunters in the village said that this kid must have some skills and good eyesight. Now the family can eat it from time to time. For broth, I hunted rabbits and sold them for money. Besides buying rice, I also bought bones. The bone soup made porridge was full of oil. Look, my complexion has improved a lot, even my body is strong. A little bit, your younger brother has also grown taller recently, the clothes you made last year are already a bit small, but fortunately you pinch them wide, and you can only wear them when you let them out by an inch."

When the mother said to her son, one thousand is good, ten thousand is good, even a toad can tell three points of beauty, not to mention that Zhao Dahu is indeed a bit brilliant now, how can Zhao Qian's be unhappy.Fortunately, when she said this, she also came back to her senses. Thinking of the purpose of her coming, she couldn't help but blushed a little, and felt ashamed for her crooked ability.

"That's what, big girl, look, mother can talk about things like this, and she can talk about things with only a few words. I'm here today because of your big business. That's what I said last time. Yes, how about the new clothes for you? Are the clothes ready? Would you like your mother to help you make something?"

Speaking of new clothes, Zhao Yiyi laughed immediately. With the conditions, can she not make clothes? A woman likes to have more clothes. Although she can only make them with linen, it doesn't mean she can't make them, right? !No matter how bad the material is, it is still new when it is made.

Zhao Yiyi took out a package from her closet, placed it on the table in the outer room, and opened it directly for Zhao Qianshi to see. After seeing it, Zhao Qianshi gasped.

The pink jacket is a small jacket with a slanted breast, the neckline is decorated with red trim, and the hem of the clothes is embroidered with peach blossoms. Although it is the embroidery method of the circle, Zhao Qian also knows that it is Because this is linen, not silk, there is no way to make delicate stitches. Even so, it is already a great embroidery skill. Just a few peach blossoms make this dress look much better all of a sudden.

The trousers made of green linen, this one is nothing, but there is another green skirt, with the same method of fringe on the top, and a circle of goose yellow flowers embroidered on the bottom, which looks like a crabapple, There is also a pair of red embroidered shoes with magpies on the branches, just such a set, in Zhao Qian's eyes, they are exquisite clothes that look like they come out of a painting.How could she not be surprised.

"Danny! They all said that you are very good at embroidery now. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is really not easy! With this handicraft, even those in the county who rely on embroidery for a living are probably not like you. Well, alas, I only taught you how to make clothes in the past. I really don’t know where you learned the embroidery. Good skills, good skills!”

Zhao Qian's hand caressed those clothes, with admiration on his face, he muttered involuntarily, but Zhao Yiyi was taken aback, she just showed off, which is great, but such a big surprise What happened, she really didn't know how to learn this, so she could only turn around and take out another set of clothes, and show it to Mrs. Zhao Qian, trying to change the topic.At worst, she can buy some time for her to think of a plausible reason so that this matter can be settled.

"I made this for Dalang. It's a blue gown, black trousers, and a green short jacket. He used to go shopping everywhere. He didn't have a long suit. I don't know how many people look down on him outside! It's also made of sackcloth, so it looks more decent. Look at it, how good is it?"

She didn't do any embroidery or stitching on the man's clothes, but did it more carefully. Zhao Qian took it up and looked at it, and couldn't help nodding her head in praise.

"Okay, your craftsmanship is better than mine. You really taught your apprentices and starved your master to death. If your younger brother sees this, I'm afraid you won't wear the clothes I made in the future. The shoes are also good. People in the mountains don’t have many lessons in making boots. I think these short boots are better than those sold in the town. It’s thanks to you that you can make such a thick sole. I’m afraid it took a lot of effort.”

"What mother said, don't let Duhu hear it, otherwise he will be angry. He has always been the most filial. How can mother say such a thing?"

Zhao Yiyi smiled and praised her, then rewrapped the clothes without any trace, turned around and put them back, groped for a while in the cabinet, turned around and took out another bag, and said to Zhao Qianshi :
"Mother, this is the job I took over this time, making purses, look, how simple it is, just cut these rags and embroider some bamboo on them, the simplest embroidery work, it's your ability , as long as one can do it, I’m afraid he can do better than me. It costs five yuan, do you want to take this job?”

Embroidery skills have no origins, so create origins, Zhao Yiyi is determined to fill this loophole, showing Zhao Qianshi the things she usually makes, thinking of motivating Zhao Qianshi to do the same, embroidering orchids, embroidering bamboo , this is the simplest embroidery, as long as Zhao Qianshi takes over to do a few, and people see Zhao Yiyi doing embroidery work in the future, I am afraid they will say that Zhao Qianshi taught it. As for Zhao Yiyi's embroidery is good, then She only thinks that she is talented, that she is better than blue than blue.It can directly fill in the loopholes that have nowhere to learn.

As for scheming against Mrs. Zhao, as far as it is concerned, it is only good for her and not harmful. This point can be seen from Mrs. Zhao's appearance now. She grabbed the pretend purse and carefully Looking carefully at one side, he looked at the embroidery again and again, and finally said to Zhao Yiyi with a smile:
