Chapter 149 Jiayin's Craftsmanship Monthly Pass)
Unexpectedly, as soon as Little Ling left, Jiayin took over the two little eagles and kept them close to her. In addition to letting them hunt wild rabbits for food, she usually helped them at home.
As for what help?
It's funny to say that Jiayin has recently become obsessed with braiding bamboo, letting the little eagle help split the bamboo with its talons and hold it with its beak.
The two little ones resisted reluctantly, but they did not dare to disobey Jiayin's order, so they had to use their mouths and claws simultaneously.
Every time Mrs. Yang and others saw that scene, they couldn't help but laugh.
Jiayin had learned how to weave rattan with Mr. Fang Yunan before, and thought it would be similar with bamboo.
It wasn't until she used her spiritual consciousness to scan people in a nearby village who knew bamboo weaving, and secretly watched them for two days. Only then did she realize that bamboo weaving is much more troublesome and more delicate than rattan weaving.
Small pieces of bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo dustpans, as well as bamboo mats, bamboo curtains, bamboo fans, bamboo boxes and cages. Large pieces can also be used as bamboo beds, main tables and bamboo chairs.
She even saw a bamboo house on the side of the mountain!
She used her spiritual consciousness to study seriously for a few days. She learned how to cut bamboo strips and bamboo silk, how to weave shrinks, and also learned other people's techniques, including braiding, inserting, threading, cutting, locking, nailing, tying, and tying.
etc. You can also weave various patterns.
Coupled with Jiayin's strength, her little hands are now extremely flexible. She has knitted bamboo fans, bamboo baskets, bamboo mats, bamboo curtains, and even bamboo boxes at home.
If she hadn't been too afraid, she would have wanted to replace all the tables and chairs in her home.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li were very fond of these things when they saw them. They praised Jiayin's little hands for being so skillful, and even adults might not be able to weave them so well.
Especially the bamboo mat, which is smooth and smooth without any burrs, much better than the straw mat they laid before.
They now spread straw mats underneath and bamboo mats on the straw mats. When the weather is hot, you can sleep directly on the bamboo mats. Unlike before, they had to put a mattress on top of the straw mats, otherwise they would be too stuck to sleep.
The clothes you wear in summer are thin, unlike the cotton-padded clothes and trousers you wear in winter, and you can make do on a straw mat.
There is also the bamboo curtain, which has fine holes, can repel mosquitoes, and is breathable and light. It is perfect for hanging on doors and windows.
Everyone has a bamboo fan, which is a must-have in summer. Not to mention bamboo boxes, which are lighter and can hold more things than wooden boxes. They can also be stacked layer by layer.
Jiayin also imitated the drawers of those cabinets and made them drawer-style, which makes it easier to put things in without having to move them up and down.
It’s hard to imagine that a child of just a few years old made these things. If they hadn’t watched the things take shape bit by bit, neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law would have believed it.
Mrs. Yang and Mr. Li also followed suit, but the things they made up were far behind Jiayin's.
In other words, the basket used for washing vegetables is okay. It doesn't matter if it's not neatly knitted and the gaps are larger, as long as it leaks.
Fang Zhiyuan would only stay at home when it rained, helping Jiayin repair bamboo strips and silk.
When the sun shines in the morning, these boys are basically not at home.
They all went to play next to the shallow reservoir in the back row.
The depth of the reservoir is only as deep as the child's waist, and is paved with stones. After that height, the water will flow out through the drainage channel.
Of course, these children did not dare to enter the reservoir, after all, it was water for drinking. Instead, they went to the nearby drainage channel to soak in the water.
It's hot now, and it will only get cooler when it rains in the afternoon. When the sun shines in the morning, the water will be warm.
Women will also go to the drainage basin to wash clothes, and the water will flow away after washing, which is very convenient.
It is more convenient than a place with a creek. After all, the water is clean, unlike the creek where there are many small bugs and so on.
However, they also told their children not to drink the water directly but to boil it at home.
Water flows down from the top of the waterfall, and who knows what is on top of it.
There are so many snakes in the mountains. What if the snake drinks water and the venom drips into the water?
Of course, they overthink it. Snakes only spray venom when they attack, not when people drink water or eat.
In a blink of an eye, Fang Youwei has been out for more than half a month. Gradually, everyone got used to going out to work in the morning. In the afternoon, when the rain is light, they can continue working wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat. When the rain is heavy, they can go home to rest.
days.
The children also slowly resumed running into the mountains every day, of course with the women. Because of the rain, the mushrooms in the mountains and forests have not stopped growing one after another. Now there are no spring bamboo shoots in this season, except for going
After cutting bamboo and knitting some things, I basically stopped doing it.
Men occasionally go to the mountains to hunt pheasants and hares, which Jiayin brings from elsewhere. The snakes here are not enough even if the hares are missing, and other snakes have to be eaten too.
Although snakes eat more mice and the like, they occasionally catch rabbits and eat them.
The rabbits are not stupid and have gone to far away places, so the number here is very small. Jiayin has to catch a batch from a distance every day.
If the villagers don't catch enough, they will be eaten by the snakes. In this way, people and snakes can live in harmony.
Those snakes never came close to the villagers because of the snake repelling formula. Over time, they got used to it. Even if everyone didn't recite the formula, the snakes would automatically avoid it when they saw someone coming up the mountain. After the people left, they would
Just came out to look for food.
Jiayin kept watching several eagle nests in the distance at night, wondering why the mother of the two eagle cubs was alone, and why she attacked the little eaglets?
As a result, after such a long time, no other eagle came back.
She really couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about Jiayin. After practicing, she could just glance at it occasionally. She would notice any movement.
Nowadays, most of the girls in the village learn embroidery from Yao Ruolan. Even if they cannot learn her exquisite craftsmanship, it is enough to know a little bit about it.
Jiayin also went to study for two days, but soon stopped going.
Although Jiayin's bamboo weaving is exquisite and beautiful, the little embroidery needle doesn't work at all in her hands.
Often, the embroidery needle is bent and bent before even a few stitches have been embroidered.
And the fabric, it was torn by her fingers when she tried hard. It was really not this material.
When Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li saw this, they didn't insist on letting her go. This person just had a specialization in his craft, so he couldn't possibly be good at everything. As for needlework, just being able to sew clothes would be enough.
Fang Yunping, Fang Youzhi, and Fang Li were among several people who spent a lot of time wandering around the county town.
I want to see if there are any shops that can cash out money so that they can cash it in and develop the family property.
But this county looks big, and there are only so many shops in total. People who make money will definitely not go out to cash in, and those who don't make money are not to their liking, and the location and size are not suitable.
