Shang Xiucai did not answer this question, after all Madam Cui was a woman, and she was a man, so it was not easy to talk about a woman.
Madam Jiang took out another embroidery of Gu Jinxiu, and spread it for Shang Xiucai to see: "Master, look at this picture." Shang Xiucai saw the picture
embroidery was, only to see that on the two-layer Gebune cloth was the size of a compass, embroidery There were more than a dozen people in the picture. The people in the picture are cutting down trees to build straw huts, making fires for cooking, or looking for food and water in the mountains. Each character was like the original, as if they were living on cloth.
Shang Xiucai was a little surprised: "This picture is completely embroidered clearly."
Although embroidery is done with cheap Gebu, the color of embroidery thread used is also very single, but gray, white, black and blue, but because of the excellent embroidery skills Dari, it does not make people feel that this embroidery is cheap, but it adds to the impression of simple and heavy.
Madam Jiang was also very satisfied with this embroidery, and said: "It was embroidered by Xiaoyu's eldest sister. At first, I only thought that the embroider sister was just a great embroidery artist, but after thinking about it on the way back, I realized that this method of embroidery is very similar to Luo's embroidery."
Luo embroidery is one of the four main embroidery, and is famous for being good at embroidering images and scenes. The images and scenes embroidered by Luo's embroidery were extremely vivid. Positioned as embroidery of the palace, is a tribute. Circulated only among the court and high officials and nobles. It is rarely sold on the market, and can be said to be difficult to find.
It was at Dachu that Luo's embroidery spread among the people.
If this embroidery were really Luo's embroidery, it would be worth it.
Shang Xiucai frowned after hearing this, and after a while, said to Jiang: "Maybe it's just a similarity, you don't need to put it in the heart, we just need to be sincere with the Gu family." Shang Xiucai
don't want to search too much.
Madam Jiang understood what Shang Xiucai meant, nodded and said: "Don't worry, my husband, I know, and I won't ask anything." No matter
what Cui came from, she was just a peasant woman now, and their family got along well with the Gu family just to repay their kindness She didn't want to unearth Cui's secrets before.
The next morning, Lao Luo and Ah Jiu each drove a mule cart towards the Gu family in Dafeng Village.
Due to the heavy stone grinding, two mule carts arrived at Dafeng Village after an hour and stopped in front of Gu's courtyard.
Ah Jiu raised his voice and shouted: "Uncle Gu, we brought the stone mill here. Look, where are we gonna put it?" Grandpas
the three followed Gu Dagui and Gu Damu to the stall. Gu Jinli did not leave today, so he followed Gu Dashan out to meet him, came to the back of the mule wagon, and was surprised to see two stone mills, one big and one small, in the mule cart.
Gu Dashan said: "Don't you say one? Why did you send two?"
Ah Jiu smiled and said: "Initially there were two stone factories in the old house, one big and one small, which were convenient to use. Look, this stone milling Where do you want to put it?"
The courtyard of Gu Jinli's house was filled with wooden boxes filled with tofu, and there was nowhere to put two stone milling. Gu Jinli thought for a moment and said, "Take the big one to Luo's house, and
keep the small. Go outside the kitchen door.more than a foot, which is perfect for my own use, so I keep it.
“OK, then let's move the small stone mill for you first.” Ah Jiu called out to Lao Luo, and the two tied the small stone mill with a thick rope, carried it with two poles, and led it to the door of the Gu family home, the kitchen, and, the place was placed by the Gu family, good.
Gu Dashan had already gone to Luo house to call Father Luo and Uncle Tian who were grinding beans.
Father and son Luo, father and son Tian, including Qin Sanlang, all came.
The grinding of this huge stone was too heavy, there were not five or six people who were unable to lift it at all.
Lao Luo's driving skills were good, and she said to the men in the family: "I'll drive the car to the yard first, and then move the stone mill after entering the courtyard." Lu Lai asked
Lao Luo to lead the wagon mule into Luo's courtyard.
The yards of some of their families are vast, with fronty courtyards and backyards covering about half an acre each.
Father Luo and the others came and began to move the stone mill.
The stone mill is divided into three parts: the chassis and the upper and lower milling fan. Qin Sanlang was only fourteen years old, but he had great strength. He moved himself the half-meter-long milling fan from the mule cart., and let the mill fan stand on the ground hard, and roll the mill fan to the left side of the page.
Luo's father was injured when he was young, so he didn't dare to do what Qin Sanlang did. Instead, he and Luo Wu brought in another mill fan, and the father and son rolled up the mill fan and placed it on the left side of the courtyard.
The rest of the chassis was carried by Uncle Tian and Gu Dashan with wooden sticks the size of their fists to the left side of the courtyard, where it was placed on a large buried rock.
Soon after, the Luo family's father and son installed two grinding fans on the chassis and installed them, and the stone milling work was completed.
Once so busy, family members sweat everywhere.
Seeing the stone milling has been moved, Ah Jiu said again: “There are still items that have not been moved, let's go again.”
Then he turned his head and left with Lao Luo.
Gu Dashan chased after him and asked, "Aren't there only two stone mills? Why are there still things?"
But Ah Jiu and Lao Luo had already left with the mule cart and did not reply.
Gu Dashan sighed, and muttered: "I don't know what else to take?"
Gu Dexing knew that the servants from the Shang Xiucai family were coming, so he rushed over, but he did not see the servants from the Shang Xiucai family, so he hurriedly asked Gu Dashan: "Uncle Dashan, where are the servants of the Shang Xiucai family?"
Gu Dashan said: "Just left."
"Go?" Gu Dexing was anxious: "Why did you leave so quickly? Why don't you stop them?"
Gu Jinli looked at Gu Dexing With a glance, he said: "It takes two-quarters of a full hour to move this stone factory. It's silly to blame someone else for being late. "If sir
young comes early, he'll see someone.
Gu Dexing's face reddened, he was deeply embarrassed by Gu Jinli's words.
Gu Dashan had a good temper, seeing him like this, he smiled and said, "Sister Xing, don't worry, Ah Jiu and the others will come back later."
When Gu Dexing heard this, his eyes twinkled: "Creally?"
Gu Dashan nodded: "Really, there are still items to send."
Gu Dexing was very happy, and instead of going home, he stayed at Luo house and waited After waiting for more than an hour, Ah Jiu and Lao Luo waited.
Lao Luo and Ah Jiu brought a lot of things this time, including a table, chair, stool, two stone hammers, and two large iron plates.
As soon as Gu Jinli saw these two iron plates, he knew that they were specially ordered by Shang Xiucai for their families.
There was no one in Dachu who used iron plates to make things, so their family would use iron plates to make tofu five fried herbs, but he did not refuse, much less explain it. He delivered everything and returned it. Not to mention the problem , it's hypocritical.
When Gu Dashan saw the two iron plates, he knew that the iron plates were expensive, so he did not want to accept them, but Ah Jiu's sharp tongue persuaded Gu Dashan to accept the iron plate in no time. Knowing that Ah Jiu and the others were coming again, Gu Dexing rushed to Gu's house and asked Ah Jiu: "Shang
Xiucai read my article, what did he say?" This is what he has been doing since he was a child. He couldn't do anything else, and he didn't want to learn another job. He hated cutting wood and grinding nuts. His hands were used for writing. Yes, no. for this menial work.
