I entered the space again to check the eggs inside. There were about hundreds of them exposed in the open.
"Ahua, can I sell these eggs?"
"Yes, Master, you can do whatever you want with it."
The giant python Ahua carried the Chenxin Pear on its back and shuttled through the mountains and forests.
When the chickens saw the man and the snake coming, they started cackling from afar and dared not move.
The sight of the big snake eating the chicken scared them, for they were afraid that they would end up in the snake's belly for no apparent reason.
Ah Hua looked at the motionless stupid guys in front of her with disdain, complaining in her heart.
You don't even know how to be smart in front of your master, you really don't make me look good.
Chen Xinli looked at the chickens and pondered silently.
These chickens are raised in the mountains and forests, and they lay eggs everywhere. It takes some effort to find the eggs.
Let my brother come in and work, picking up eggs.
It would be best if we could go to town together to sell eggs tomorrow.
She now desperately wants to have cleaner clothes to wear, a clean and soft quilt, a bath and wash her hair, and a better house to live in.
Of course, one thing that cannot be ignored is that her current body expresses her crazy desire for meat.
Chen Xinli was helpless.
She also wanted to sell mangoes, but this fruit was too rare in the north, so Chen Xinli didn't dare to take the risk easily.
There are peaches in the space and they seem to be ripening soon. I think I can sell them when the time comes.
Having made up her mind, she got up happily and saw her father knitting something with her second uncle, so she subconsciously went over to them.
"Hmm? Dad, Uncle, are you weaving fans?"
"Our Ali is so smart, she guessed it all."
Shen Fuyou replied with a smile.
"Ali, the weather is getting hotter. Daddy will give you this first fan!"
Shen Fugui's fingers didn't move much, but the bamboo strips began to move up and down. After a while, a square fan was woven.
In fact, the principle is the same as weaving a winnowing basket, which is very easy for Shen Fugui.
However, after looking at it for a long time, Chen Xinli felt that this fan... was a bit ugly!
I couldn't help but think of a round fan I saw when I was traveling in the ancient town. It seemed to be woven with a two-pick and two-press twill weave method.
There are only two colors, one is the natural color of bamboo strips, and the other is the color dyed from bamboo strips.
Bamboo strips of natural color and one color are woven into a square, which is then cut into various irregular patterns such as maple leaves, circles, gourds, and petals.
Finally, wrap the edge with cloth strips of the same color, and then add fan handles and tassels. It is very popular among young ladies wearing Hanfu.
There is nothing wrong with my father's braiding method at the moment, but the color and shape need to be adjusted.
So, he quietly took some of the bamboo strips that Shen Fugui had processed.
I saw some green pokeweed in the grass not far away, some of which had already produced purple-red fruits.
This native pokeweed is not poisonous.
Chen Xinli often played it when she was young in her previous life.
He brought a bowl from home, picked some fruits, crushed the berries with a wooden stick, and found a small piece of white cloth.
Chen Xinli tied the cloth strips to the bamboo strips, and when the white cloth strips were stained with the purple-red juice, she smeared it all over the bamboo strips.
Only apply about two-thirds of the paint, getting lighter as you go down.
Thinking that the edging would require thread of the same color, Chen Xinli found a ball of white thread at home and dyed it as well.
After both sides of the bamboo strips are coated, place them in a sunny place to dry.
After painting about thirty bamboo strips and letting them dry, Chen Xinli held up the colored bamboo strips and asked:
"Father, Second Uncle, does it look good? How about we use this to weave a fan?"
Shen Fugui was a little confused at first, but when he saw his daughter's expectant look, he became very excited.
Yes, why didn't he think of that? These colorful bamboo strips would look even better when woven together!
Soon, after Chen Xinli's guidance.
The first colorful bamboo fan was woven. Chen Xinli found some rags at home and cut out a nine-sided pattern.
Let Shen Fugui cut the woven bamboo according to the pattern to get a colorful fan.
The white cloth that had just been dyed with bamboo strips had turned light rose red and had dried.
Chen Xinli explained to the two that after dyeing it like this, they should use cloth of the same color to wrap the edge.
Then she picked up the needle and thread and started sewing, but her sewing skills were not very good. She saw her mother Wu Yuehua had returned from outside.
I just plan to be a hands-off boss.
"Mom, can you help me sew this? Maybe I can make some money!"
Wu Yuehua was very good at it and soon finished sewing a fan.
Shen Fugui took out a slightly thicker long bamboo strip as the fan handle and inserted it into the bamboo strip in the middle part of the fan.
The same color part of the entire bamboo fan is shaped like a 'V'.
A layer of light rose-red 'V' shape and a layer of primary color 'V' shape are intertwined together, which is very beautiful.
It would look even better if there was a fan pendant in the same color.
Chen Xinli couldn't help but think about it.
Wu Yuehua felt that she had never seen anyone so beautiful before, and she was overjoyed.
Shen Fugui and Shen Fuyu looked at the round fan in front of them, their hearts filled with ecstasy: this kind of fan can definitely make money!
In terms of weaving techniques, he also knows how to use zigzag and twill patterns, which can be dyed directly, making the woven fans look better.
In the end, under Shen Xinli's persuasion, he kept the fan for his own use.
The main reason was that she was not sure whether the fruit of the Chinese pokeweed tree in this era would be harmful to the skin as a dye, so it would be better to use food dye.
Just for the sake of experiment, she planned to find some more dyes that she used to dye the five-color glutinous rice when she was a child, and dye it into light purple, red and green.
