Chapter 66 Making a wooden box
How to make a wooden box, Li Ji and the others can easily get started, but what kind of style should the wooden box be made, whether it should be carved or not, and what kind of carving it should be. You have to listen to Pomegranate.
Pomegranate immediately gave them a general introduction.
There are three types of wooden boxes, one is square, with ten small grids inside. Butterflies and melon vines are carved on the surface. The melons and melons are continuous, which means the prosperity of future generations.
A rhombus with ten small grids inside, carved with a rooster crowing on the stone, indicating good luck in the house, which means the health of the house and good fortune.
A round shape with ten small grids inside, with several goldfish carved on it. The hall is filled with gold and jade, which means wealth and abundance.
At that time, there will be one hundred fructose candies in three colors in this wooden box.
Li Jihe and several others knew immediately after listening to it, and after a detailed discussion, they had a division of labor.
Li Jihe and his two brothers, Li Rong and Zong, were responsible for making the goldfish. It was difficult to carve a few goldfish, but Li Jihe and Uncle Song were the best carvers. With this talent, he sometimes surpasses his master, Old Man Song, and even Old Man Song praises him.
The father and son of the uncle Song and the son of the second uncle Song were respectively responsible for the great luck in the house and Gua Lv Mianmian.
After this agreement, several people started working on the wood that Li Ji and his father and son had divided yesterday.
The two brothers, Song Jinsheng and Song Yinsheng, came to help build furniture. Since Li Jihe did not prepare any wood, Uncle Song and the others had to go to the lumberyard to bring a message to Manager Tu after they returned home today. You can only do it if you come here. The Song family is not far from Jinjiazhuang.
So today, Pomegranate simply took the two of them to help, and went to the Lin family in Tianbao Village to buy oranges.
The wooden box won't be ready for a while, but the fructose can't be stopped. One more day will cost money.
Li Rongzhang was also going together. Although they were cousins, Song Yinsheng and Song Jinsheng were talking about the age of marriage, and Pomegranate was already thirteen years old. Traveling alone would be unavoidable, and Li Rongzhang was with him. To be appropriate.
The four of them went to Tianbao Village together. It was only a few miles away, and they arrived unknowingly while talking along the way.
As soon as I entered the village and asked about the Lin family, I got the enthusiastic villagers’ directions and quickly found the Lin family.
When she met Lin Laosan, Shiliu immediately smiled and said something interesting.
When Lin Laosan heard that the pomegranate was the daughter of Brother Li who bought a lot of oranges from his house that day, she also came to buy oranges today. He immediately shouted to his son and took the pomegranates to his fruit tree. .
I kept talking to Pomegranate along the way, "How are my oranges? Are they sweet? I can tell you what your father is saying. I will still count these oranges as your four cents a pound! Today How much do you plan to buy? ”
Pomegranate thought that Jinsheng's cousin and Yinsheng's cousin could carry forty kilograms each. She could carry thirty kilograms, and Zhang brother could carry seven or eight kilograms, so he said: "Today I will buy eight kilograms." Ten pounds!”
“Yes!” Lin Laosan responded, and as he spoke, he arrived at the fruit tree. Lin Laosan’s two sons jumped up into the tree like monkeys to pick oranges.
Song Jinsheng and Song Yinsheng looked at it, not wanting to wait, so they wanted to go up to the tree to help pick, so that they could carry it back.
But as soon as the two of them started to move, Lin Laosan stopped him and said that others were not allowed to climb his fruit trees. His two sons were very experienced in climbing trees and picking oranges. They knew how to do it. If the tree is injured, others will not know the seriousness of it, and they are afraid that the fruit tree will be damaged.
After saying this, Song Jinsheng and the two couldn't move any more. They just helped pick the oranges and put them in the baskets.
After all the baskets were loaded, I estimated that I had eighty kilograms, so I stopped picking oranges and carried them back to weigh myself. I found that it was only two kilograms more than eighty kilograms. Lin Laosan waved his hand and said with a smile that the extra two kilograms would be given to the pomegranate brothers and sisters to eat and play with, so it would not count as money.
Pomegranate smiled sweetly and thanked her, paid three cents and twenty silver coins for eighty kilograms, and then she and Song Jinsheng each carried a basket, and left Lin's house towards the entrance of the village. go.
Not far after leaving Lin's house, I just turned a corner and came face to face with a girl carrying a pile of tall grass on her back that made her back bend. She didn't pay attention to the road ahead. It was better to start here. Song Jinsheng was so fast that he didn't notice, and the two of them bumped into each other.
A piece of green grass attached to the overloaded backpack turned upside down, like an overturned turtle lying on its back and unable to turn back.
Song Jinsheng, on the other hand, dropped the orange and rolled it to the ground. He got up and went to take care of the orange first.
Pomegranate saw that the girl couldn't turn up, so she quickly put down her backpack and pulled her up, "Are you okay?"
The girl was dark and rough, and her face might have turned red when she was pulled up. , but I couldn't tell, I just saw her smiling and saying in a loud voice: "Thank you, sister! I'm fine!"
After that, she helped to pick up oranges.
Seeing that she was fine, Pomegranate even helped to pick up oranges when she got up. She looked cheerful and not coy, and she also felt good about her.
Fortunately, the oranges were not broken when they rolled out. A few people picked them up and put them back in the basket. Song Jinsheng carried them on his back again. The pomegranates thanked the girl, and they continued to move forward.
"Er Phoenix!"
At this moment, a girl carrying a basket suddenly came over from the other end. She ran up to the girl and was still chattering: "Er Phoenix, Didn’t we agree to go out and fight pig grass together? Why don’t you call me? Are you going to fight the second time?”
The girl named Erfeng is on your back. He killed his own pigweed, and his back was pressed down again. , but said in a cheerful tone: "I will beat you twice more every day! I'll beat this one first, and then I'll call you, it's not too late! I don't want you to spend more time with me! You go to the river first and wait for me!" I’ll come as soon as I can carry it home!”
Pomegranate had walked about ten steps. Listening to the conversation between the two girls, she couldn't help but look back. She saw the girl who was bent over by the basket on her back and walked forward with her head buried. He raised his eyebrows slightly.
After returning home, Shiliu approached Madam Song, who was having lunch, "Mom, why didn't my aunt believe it? Are you still looking at this marriage?"
Madam Song Said: "That's not us We were busy building a house earlier. Your grandma specifically told your aunt to let her see you later. You were selling sweets in the city. Your grandma came here and said it was brought by your aunt. After talking, it’s decided, let’s have it on the 20th Let’s meet!”
“I’ll meet you on the 20th?”
Song nodded and said, “I’ll meet you tomorrow!” The eldest sister will rush to bring you the new one first. Let’s make the clothes first! Let’s see you tomorrow. Let your brother wear new clothes. He will look energetic!” >
She was not lying. Mrs. Song was a well-born mother. She was well-known in every village in the world, and there were many families who wanted to marry her!
The appearance of the Li family is also considered to be Zhouzheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is particularly distinctive. In this way, the Pomegranate brothers and sisters cannot be ugly.
Not to mention how beautiful it is, but it still looks good, it’s just not ugly!
While talking, Shiliu thought about the girl she had just met before and couldn't help but said: "Mom, the girl my aunt mentioned is called Erfeng, right? I met a girl named Erfeng in Tianbao Village today. , I wonder if that’s the case?”
