Chapter 57：

Li Changfeng took the bowl and saw Xu Qing smashing his mouth with a bit of enthusiasm. He was very happy. Xu Qing hasn't eaten much these days, but he has finally eaten so much today. "You wait, I'll add some salt to you." Pour a bowl."

Xu Qing nodded, and when Li Changfeng brought another bowl, he was full after drinking.

After eating, Xu Qing stayed there without wanting to move. After Li Changfeng finished eating, Xu Qing followed Li Changfeng to the courtyard. The ebony was not used up last time, and Li Changfeng is using the remaining ebony to make some wooden dolls.

The wooden doll that Xu Qing and Li Changfeng gave to them when Xie Ge'er married. The two especially liked it. They put it on the cabinet in the room, and they could smell it at night when they slept. The faint fragrance.

While making wooden dolls, Li Changfeng said to Xu Qing: "Before the autumn harvest, I plan to use the money from selling wooden dolls to build our house so that you and your children will live more comfortably." Everything is good in summer, but sometimes there is too much rain, and there are still water leaks in some parts of this house!

Xu Qing wanted to rebuild his home a long time ago. The family now has a total of forty-five taels of silver, which is considered to be a relatively well-established person among the peasant family.

"Do you want to sell wooden dolls right now?" Xu Qing had the idea of ​​selling wooden dolls, but he really didn't think about how to sell them, where to sell them, at what prices, what kind of rhetoric so that others could be able to sell them. Accept to buy this thing.

Li Changfeng quickly completed a pair of small dolls. During this time, he has already made dolls. "I will use that pile of pine dolls to practice hands, look at the market, and then use this pile of dolls. The scented dolls go to the town’s particular houses to sell."

Although Xu Qing made Li Changfeng's appearance of wood color, the look is simple and honest newcomer dolls and the slightly darker black newcomer dolls made of ebony. Some people with knowledge and some money in their hands will definitely buy new dolls made of ebony.

"What are you doing, old man?"

Xu Qing looked at the wooden doll that Li Changfeng was about to complete with the appearance of an old man with a walking stick, and felt that Li Changfeng's hands were opened and hung up!

"There are so many married couples during this period. I have made enough new baby dolls. I want to make some dolls for the elderly and children, so that even if it is not the peak season for marriage, I can still have income." Li Changfeng said during the conversation. The old man doll in the house was ready, and Xu Qing brought it over. The more I looked at it, the more familiar he became, "This is really like Old Man Lin!"

Li Changfeng twisted his stiff neck, "I just want to try if he can make a wooden doll according to the person in his memory. It seems that it is okay."

Xu Qing looked at the "Old Man Lin" the size of the palm of his hand, and thought of modern photos. This is simply an ancient version of the photo! !

"Young man, I am optimistic about you, uncle! If you have time, I will make a chant for us. When we are old, we can show it to our children and grandchildren. When we were young."

Li Changfeng put the pinewood newcomer dolls and the ebony newcomer dolls separately, "That's for sure! Then sell these first, beat the reputation, and the effect is good, and then move out the ability to see people as dolls. I'm not afraid that others will learn this craft secretly."

Xu Qing stood up and stretched, and nodded when he heard these words, "Anyway, your hands are fast, because there is too little ebony wood, and the price can be higher. You can go to the mountain to see if there are other suitable wood materials. Come and do it." When he first entered the mountain, he found a lot of nanmu, which is also a good wood.

The last two negotiated and first made eight pairs of ebony new dolls, six and two for the elderly, and four and two for the children. There were eight pairs of new dolls, two elderly dolls, and six child dolls. If all sold out, that's one hundred taels!

Pinewood’s newcomer dolls are one or two pairs, one for the elderly and one for the children, one forty-four, but Xu Qing felt that it was not active, so he changed it to forty-six.

"I'll go to town to sell tomorrow. I'll go to the mountain this afternoon, so you don't want to go and stay at home." Li Changfeng thought of Xu Qing's free temper, if he wanted him to stay honestly. At home, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, so I reluctantly added: "If you really feel nothing to do, go and talk to Xie Ama."

Xu Qing also responded honestly. He was also pregnant for the first time. He didn't know many things. You have to be careful. "Okay, then I will tell you a kind of wood. You can take a closer look, if there is one. Bring it back directly, no need to look for others."

What Xu Qing said to Li Changfeng was that the wood of nanmu is hard, durable, and has excellent corrosion resistance. It has a special fragrance and can avoid insects. If you want to be a wooden doll, you can look at it for a long time. Will be easily damaged by insects, Nanmu is an excellent choice.

Originally, Xu Qing thought that Li Changfeng would be able to find Nanmu. After all, his few descriptions and paintings on the ground pulled a few leaves. It is indeed very difficult for others to understand it at once. As a result, Li Changfeng again Surprise yourself.

There are generally three types of nanmu, golden nanmu, xiangnan, and nanmu. Golden nanmu is the best kind of nanmu. As long as the cash is obvious, it can be identified as golden nanmu. Under the light, you can see the golden thread shimmering, bright and exquisite. It used to be the royal special wood. It can be seen that it is noble. The second type is Phoebe. The wood of Phoebe is slightly purple, and the fragrance is very strong and lasting. Therefore, it is named Phoebe. Its texture is beautiful and the material is not as delicate as that of Phoebe, but it is also a very good material.

The third type is Phoebe nanmu, and it is the worst kind of wood in Phoebe nanmu. It is similar to Phoebe, suitable for small furniture such as stools. The two nanmu that Li Changfeng retrieved this time, one is golden nanmu. , One is Xiangnan, but Shuinan has not recovered it.

"Have you entered the back mountain?!" The chances of this thing being found in the periphery are small and pitiful!

"No, just not far from the pair of "pheasants" we met last time," Li Changfeng put the two phoebe trees on the courtyard wall and said to Xu Qing while turning around.

Xu Qing's mouth almost twitched after hearing it, what a pheasant! It can't be said to be a wild mandarin duck, it sounds better, but when he thinks of the look that Luo Jiao looks at Li Changfeng, Xu Qing thinks this "pheasant" is also good!

"Are you too much?"

Li Changfeng made a big gesture with his hand, "Much, that one piece is like this, I just feel that the two are a little unclear. No, I just pulled one back, let you see, I'll go back and chop it off. "

Xu Qing suppressed the joy in his heart, tried to restrain himself, and told himself that the pregnant husband was not easily emotional, "Don't cut it carelessly!"

So Li Changfeng ran several times, and happened to meet Wei Lao Er on the way. He also brought him a few times. This wood, ah, almost occupied the yard. It caused Xiaobao to jump up and down, where he played. It's all taken over!

The next day, Li Changfeng carried a basket of wooden dolls to sell on the street early, and Xie's clothes that Xu Qing wore from the drugstore had been washed and dried, and they were returned by the way.

Xu Qing followed Xie Ama at home to learn how to make clothes, "This kid, if you say it is late, he will come out soon! Say it fast, he will have to wait another ten months! No, take advantage of your flexibility now At the time, you have to learn how to make clothes. From now on, children and men don’t have to buy clothes all the time!" Xie Ama, but I plan to give Xu Qing to the church hand in hand.

Xu Qing shook the finger that was stabbed by the needle again, and nodded in pain. Learn, you have to learn if you don't learn! Looking at Xie Ama, when he saw that he was shaking, he looked straight over, making Xu Qingshen panic.

Xie Ama saw Xu Qing clumsily holding the needle and sighed, "Don't say Xie Ama, I ask you so much. Which farmer is the man in the family, the children's clothes, and the shoes are not the head brother himself. Do it? And when they put on the clothes you made, let alone what kind of mood they are, it's yourself, it's also full of satisfaction, isn't it!"

Xu Qing stared at Xie Ama dexterously through the cloth, "Are you making all the clothes on Uncle Xie?"

Xie Ama bit off the thread and vomited it with pride, "Isn't it! I may not have any other crafts, but if it is compared to clothes and shoes, in this village, I call it number one, no one dares." Called second!"

Xu Qing chuckles and laughs, "If you call second, no one dares to call first!" Xie Ama waved his hand indifferently, "Isn't it all that meant! Anyway, what I mean? I just want to tell you that learning to make clothes has only advantages, no disadvantages!"

"I know, don't worry, I will learn honestly!"

Hearing Xu Qing’s strong guarantee, Xie Ama was also very pleased, so as long as he had nothing to do since then, Xie Ama would come to Xu Qing on time to "classify!"

At noon, Xie Ama ate lunch at Xu Qing’s house. After eating and staying for a while, he saw that Xu Qing was a little sleepy, so he took the initiative to say goodbye. Xu Qing was really sleepy, maybe because the weather was too hot, maybe because she was pregnant. Xu Qing fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

Li Changfeng carried a bag of rice, a large pig bone, and some small snacks, wiped the sweat on his face from the hot sun, and walked quickly home. Xu Qing was at home alone, and he was worried.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!"

Li Changfeng opened the courtyard door and was greeted by Xiaobao’s excited moan, but Xu Qing was not seen. He looked at the hot sun and thought that Xu Qing should be taking a nap, so he put the rice away lightly. Wash the bones, put them in a pot on the side, add fire, and boil them slowly, hit a bucket of cold water, take a pleasant cold shower, and then walk into the room.

Sure enough, Xu Qing was taking a nap. Li Changfeng sat on the edge of the bed, bent down and kissed Xu Qing's face. After watching for a while, he quietly left and closed the door.

Xu Qing slept for an afternoon and a half, but it was not like before. After sleeping for too long, his head became dizzy, but instead he felt that his body was strong. After thinking about it, Xu Qing hadn't completely gotten rid of the body with hot feet. Xu Qing dazzled. Then entered the space that hadn't been here for a long time.
