Chapter 410: Is it possible?

At the end of February, Kang Youxin's vacation ended and he had to go back to work.

Wen Shi saw him off. Less than half an hour after they left, Qin Jiu ran out of the room with a look of horror on his face.

"Auntie, there's suddenly an extra sum of money under my pillow."

Yi Chi Chi, busy at the embroidery frame, felt her hand tremble, and the needle pricked her fingertip. It was a common occurrence in this line of work, but she was used to it and asked calmly, "How much?"

"One hundred and eighty."

This amount is not small.

"And a red paper bag."

Yi Chichi put down the work in his hands and stood up. "Have you seen the red paper package?"

"No."

Qin Jiu had a reason, "I remember my aunt's teachings, don't touch things that are not yours."

He did count the money and at first thought it was an illusion, but it turned out to be real money.

He was almost scared to death.

"Good, keep it up."

Qin Jiu grinned foolishly, and soon, the aunt and nephew stood in front of the kang and fell into silence looking at the money.

After a while, Qin Jiu asked her, "Aunt, what should we do now?"

What else can you do? It’s not your money. The right thing to do is to return it.

But today, apart from Uncle Kang, no outsiders came to the house, so it is easy to imagine where the money came from.

She can't handle this.

"Wait until your grandma comes back and ask her."

Qin Jiu said "oh" and began to wait for Wen's mother to come back at the door like a milk stone.

Yi Chi ignored him and went back to work again.

More than ten minutes later, Wen's mother and Liu Lan came together.

Qin Jiu politely greeted Liu Lan, then held Wen Mu's hand and whispered, "Grandma, I have something to tell you."

The tone is formal and the expression is serious.

Wen's mother couldn't help laughing, wondering why this kid was so funny, but she still cooperated and said, "Okay, Comrade Xiao Qin, let's talk in the room."

As she spoke, she instructed Yi Chichi, "Entertain Lanlan well."

"It has to be."

So, Wen's mother and Qin Jiu went to his room to talk about the money.

Yi Chichi made tea for Liu Lan and brought out some melon seeds, peanuts and dried fruits for her to stuff into her mouth.

Liu Lan was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, she took out a package wrapped in layers from her small box of needlework and embroidery cloth and handed it over like a bomb.

"What is this?"

Yi Chi was hesitant to answer because Liu Lan looked a little scary.

"The beef jerky my husband sent me is delicious."

Before she finished speaking, she opened the oil paper bag, took out a piece of beef jerky and fed it to Yi Chizhi, "Hurry up and try it."

"I can do it myself."

She reached out and took the beef jerky and looked at it. The color was a little dark. She smelled it and it had a five-spice flavor.

Take a bite, the meat is firm and the taste is mellow.

"tasty."

Her eyes lit up, and Willowland laughed, "I thought you'd like it."

I really like it.

“How does it compare to the beef jerky next door?”

The province next to Liu Lan's mouth is Inner Mongolia, a major producer of beef and mutton. There are several well-known beef and mutton brands in Inner Mongolia.

Oh, and milk.

Yi Chichi has eaten many brands of beef jerky, including those from several major beef and mutton producing companies, as well as imported ones.

Although I'm not very familiar with the taste and quality of various types of beef, I'm pretty sure they're all pretty good.

But she didn't make a direct comment. Instead, she smiled and said, "You really have me stumped. I haven't eaten beef from the place next door much. Anyway, any meat here is delicious."

Liu Lan didn't find her answer strange. Nowadays, no one thinks meat is bad. Even wild boar meat that doesn't taste so good can make people unable to stop eating it, let alone the meat sent by her husband from a large cattle producer.

The taste can only get better.

"It's all yours."

A whole bag of beef jerky was stuffed in front of him, and Yi Chichi's eyes curved. "This is nearly two kilograms. Are you sure you want to give it all to me?"

Liu Lan rolled her eyes. "Don't act like I'm stingy. You've made me money, so what if I give you some beef jerky?"

Yi Chichi smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."

"Don't be polite to me."

She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Let's get started."

"You drive, I'll have some beef jerky and watch your needlework."

"no problem."

Liu Lan is now very confident in her free-stitch embroidery skills. In other words, she is getting cocky.

Fortunately, it is the mentality that is floating. It is normal for embroidery that can earn foreign exchange to float a little.

As long as you don't act rashly and continue to love studying, there will be no big problems if you work hard.

She washed her hands as if she knew the place well, then took the small embroidery frame that Yi Chichi had discarded and stretched the embroidery cloth. Then she threaded the needle with great skill, "Then I'll begin. Watch me."

"Just watch, don't worry and embroider boldly."

Yi Chizhi took a bite of beef jerky and thought to himself that it felt really nice to eat beef jerky and watch others work without having to work.

So, when Wen's mother and Qin Jiu came out, they saw Yi Chichi happily eating beef jerky, while Liu Lan was concentrating on working seriously with needle and thread in front of the embroidery frame.

"Auntie, what did you eat?"

Qin Jiu ran over and looked at the beef jerky in her hand with curiosity. The color seemed a little wrong and he didn't know whether it would taste good or not.

"Eat it, this is the beef jerky your Aunt Liu brought."

Yi Chichi stuffed one into his mouth and gave him the rest, "Take it and eat it with grandma and the others."

Qin Jiu didn't react to her meaning, but Wen's mother reacted quickly. She waved to Qin Jiu and said, "Come on, grandma will take you for a walk."

"……good."

To be honest, I didn't really want to go. The wind was a bit strong and not very friendly to him.

But since grandma wants to take him out for a walk, let's go.

As a result, Wen's mother took him to the cowshed to see his grandfather and others.

What happened next was almost like a nightmare to Qin Jiu.

Grandma Song and others taught him whenever they got the chance, and they arranged courses for him without delay.

His grandmother, who had originally said she would take him for a walk, started chatting about gossip with his great-grandfather and others while eating snacks such as beef jerky and peanuts.

Yi Chichi was completely unaware of this. She satisfied her appetite with beef jerky, and after washing her hands, she got down to work.

Liu Lan also likes immersive work. The two of them get into the state and don't chat. Once they start embroidering, they lose track of time.

until--

"Chichi, I've encountered a problem."

"……What?"

Yi Chichi, who was immersed in his work, looked up and took a few beats to digest her words.

Liu Lan showed her the embroidery pattern and pointed to the blue area, saying, "I can't quite tell the difference between this blue and the blue."

Yi Chichi glanced at it, his face full of question marks. "That's pretty simple. From dark to light, you can split the line into different thicknesses according to the depth of the color, and that will solve the problem."

Liu Lan hesitated, "But we need a triangular needle here."

The triangular needle is also called the small random needle in random needle embroidery. Its characteristic is that its lines spread out in all directions in a cross-shaped form without any direction.

But you need to press on with each stitch, hiding the stitches under the thread one stitch at a time.

It seems difficult, but it is very simple for experienced people.

Yi Chichi couldn't figure it out. "So what's the problem? The small random needles can't be used?"

"No, I mean what about the whole wire?"

“Just embroider it.”

Yi Chichi took the embroidery sample, pointed to the sky blue area and explained in detail how to divide the threads, determine the color, etc. Then he asked her, "Can I do it now?"
