Rebirth in another world is good for farming

The next day Zhang Xiaoliu was surprised again when he looked at the pile of small objects that Zhao Zhengze had said he was using to practice his hands.The dozen or so objects are also exquisite, including peach pits carved into baskets, stone carvings resembling blooming lotus flowers, and many wood carvings carved into various styles.

"Your skills are too good, how did you master them?" Although Zhao Zhengze said that he couldn't do these things well, Zhang Xiaoliu still found a basket to put them in. In his eyes, these skills were already very successful.

"My dad used to think about these things as long as he didn't go to the ground. He also had a small knife. I used to watch him do it when I was a child." Because of his unabashed praise, Zhao Zhengze's cheeks were flushed early in the morning, and his eyes flickered after him. He was busy behind him, looking at his wrist from time to time.

When Fulai came to the door, he liked the colorful ropes knotted by wheat very much, and he was even more envious when he saw the bracelet Zhang Xiaoliu was wearing.

"Did you make this up too?" He looked carefully at the peach pit leaves decorated on it, and said, "If you buy it at the market, it will cost at least ten renminbi!" Peach pits also take a day or two.

"Ah Zheng did this." Zhang Xiaoliu rolled up his sleeves, unable to understand Fulai's sudden realization.

"A Zheng brother made these too?" Fulai put down his hand, glanced at the things on the table out of the corner of his eye, and was stunned.

"Yes, but I'm wearing the first finished product, and he hasn't finished all of these."

"They're beautiful too!" The workmanship is exquisite, each style is different, and it looks very elegant.Fu looked at it for a long time before putting it down, and said: "Last night, I asked my family to sell the ten five-color ropes we had made. He said that one could sell for four Wen. After such a long time, I finally saved some copper coins."

"Isn't this a good thing? You can earn money and use it. The weaving must be very beautiful, right?" Zhang Xiaoliu was also very happy for him. It was not easy to earn some pocket money when his father was in charge of the financial power.

"Fortunately, I think wheat weaves better than me." Fulai is open-minded, since he saw the clothes made by wheat last time, he has always been optimistic about wheat.

"Mai Mai also weaved it according to the method you taught, and you are still his master!" Mai Mai listened to it and nodded with a smile.

Fulai exchanged rope weaving methods with him again, and seemed to be aroused by his interest. He planned to buy some colorful ropes and weave them as gifts for others.

"Brother, can we weave some and sell them in the town?" After Fulai left, Mai Mai also asked Zhang Xiaoliu in a consultative manner: "It is very lively to sell this five-color rope every year, and you can make money by changing hands for a penny. Two copper plates, much easier than doing other things."

"You said it lightly, and you didn't see how much time it would take to make one? Besides, it's not easy to go to the town..." Zhang Xiaoliu thought more complicated than him. If the same business is profitable, there will always be people who do it.They don't take advantage of the right time and place, so I'm afraid they won't earn many copper coins.

"I just don't know if anyone buys this kind of bracelet? If it can be sold for ten copper coins like Fulai's, it can be done."

"I've seen many people wear them that are not as delicate as yours. If it is made into a bracelet, many people will definitely want it! In June, all the five-color ropes will be burned, and everyone will compare whose bracelet looks better." Mai used to wear The younger brother walked around the village and knew something better.

"Why don't you give it a try?" Zhang Xiaoliu was also moved. Generally speaking, the family's money these days is only going out, and there is no income.Since wheat can think of it, it's a big deal to waste some time.If you can't sell it at that time, you can bring it back and wear it yourself.

Just do what you say, because you have to rush before the May Festival, so Mai started to do it.Zhao Zhengze didn't mind using up the experimental items he had accumulated, and let Xiaomai add them to the bracelet.Because the five-color ropes will be burned in the end, and it is inconvenient to deal with the ornaments, so he only uses single-color colored ropes as bracelets, and made a total of sixteen.Finally, the remaining colorful ropes are weaved into five-color ropes to create a festive atmosphere.

Zhang Xiaoliu knew nothing about this kind of meticulous work, so he could only take care of Xiaosong.After doing it a few more times, Mai's speed also increased, and a five-color rope could be braided in the last half an hour.It took only two days to use up all the colored ropes.

Zhang Xiaoliu looked at it again, and it was indeed more exquisite than the finished product he saw at the fair last time.

"Shall we ask our family to sell it?" Mai Mai counted the finished products in his hands, there were sixteen pieces with ornaments, and twelve pieces of five-color ropes.Jiatongma makes a little money by making clothes for people all the year round, but after all, there are not many people in the village who hire people to make clothes. He often does some needlework in the town, so he is familiar with it, and Fulai entrusts him to sell it. .

"No, today is the seventh day, and the day after tomorrow is the ninth day. Let's go by ourselves." Seeing Mai Mai's expectant eyes, Zhang Xiaoliu said with a smile.There's not much work to do at home now, and there's no delay in going out for half a day.For the things he made with his own hands, it may be more fulfilling to sell them himself.

The harvest period of beans can last for nearly two months.However, after the most abundant seven or eight days, the subsequent amount will be much less, and this is the time when the bitter melon will appear.

For many people in Xiaba Village, one of the most memorable foods in May is bitter melon.If you plant a lot, you should carry baskets to the vegetable field around May Festival to pick them.When the bitter gourds in the vegetable field grew, Zhang Xiaoliu realized that they were much smaller than the ones he had seen before.One is only about ten centimeters long, and if it is used to make stuffed meat, it should be cut in half from the middle.

Putting Xiaosong on the ground to play, Zhang Xiaoliu took a basket to pick some bitter gourds and came back to try something new.In the afternoon, another child went out to play with Mai Mai. Zhang Xiaoliu was worried that he would still be in shadow because of what happened last time, so he actively encouraged him to go out, and even Xiao Song didn't need him to take him with him.

However, Mai Mai was at the head of the village at this time, obviously distressed by his brother's agitation.The person who came to him to play was obviously Da Niu, but he first wanted to take him to find something fun, and when he got here, he said something happened at home and hurried away, leaving him to walk back slowly.

"Hey, are you here, Xiaomai?" Not long after walking, a person walked out of the slanted field.Tall and thin, he looked at him with piercing eyes.

"Brother Shi Zhu." Mai Mai greeted him with a nod and continued to walk back.

"Where are you going to play, Xiaomai? I'll go too." Shi Zhu quickly caught up with him and followed him.

"I'm going back, Brother Shi Zhu, let's find someone else to play with." Mai stopped walking and said politely.The next time Daniel asks him to come out, he will definitely not believe him anymore, and he will run away every time.But this time he didn't want to come out, if his brother didn't let him come out to play more.

"Didn't you just come out? Why, you still have work to do?" Shi Zhu finally finished what Momo ordered him to do, and then ran out to play with him.At this time, when he said that he wanted to go back, his disappointment was beyond words.

"There's nothing fun here." Mai Mai found new joys in making clothes and knitting bracelets, and she didn't like running and jumping outside on such a hot day.

Shi Zhu thought for a long time, and it seemed that nothing could attract him, except the last time he talked about catching grasshoppers and feeding them to chickens.He turned his mind and said: "It's so hot now, I'll take you to catch small fish in the small river. We saw a lot of snails last time when we touched the snails. If you can't eat them, you can feed them to chickens." Many small fish can be seen here all the year round, the biggest one is no more than the length of a child's tail finger, and the small ones can only be called fish larvae.If you fish them together, the bigger ones are full of thorns, and the smaller ones are hard to see. There really isn't much to eat, so no one fishes them.

Mai Mai thought for a while, it was still early to go back, the chickens at home had not been fed for a long time.

"That's fine, but what do you use to catch it?" Small fish are not easy to catch. When playing in the river, I don't know how many children want to catch them with their hands, but they can't even touch their shadows.

"I'll go back and get a dustpan, you wait here for me." Seeing that he agreed, Shi Zhu said quickly and ran away.Shi Zhu's house is indeed at the head of the village, close to the Xiaohe, thinking that he won't lie to him like Daniel, so Mai Mai waits beside him with peace of mind.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Shi Zhu ran back again, holding a big dustpan in his hand.Mai Mai looked at it and followed him to the creek.

When he got to the river, Mai Mai was happy to see the little fish swimming around, and he was able to feed the chickens again.He rolled up his trouser legs and was about to go down, but was stopped by a stone pillar.

"What's the matter?" He waited for a while, but he didn't see any other movements, so he asked with a frown.This man was really strange, he was the one who said he was going to catch fish, but he didn't do anything after seeing the fish.

"Well, Xiaomai, I made a lot of five-color ropes for me, and I'll share one with you." Because the five-color ropes can't touch the water, Shi Zhu stopped him from going into the river, and took out a blue rope from his arms. The small pouch was handed to him.

Mai Mai glanced at him suspiciously, and shook his head: "I can make it myself, since you made it up, you should take it yourself." Wearing five-color ropes is not limited, and some frail children can knit their wrists and feet. One is hung on the wrist and even around the neck.There are also some parents who are worried that their children will be naughty and playful and get into bad things, so they will make more and carry them with them.In Maimai's view, the things he made by himself are naturally precious, but he thought that Shi Zhu was worried that no one in his family would make them, so he explained.

"I still have one more, I'll give you one." Shi Zhu didn't let go, he broke his palm and stuffed it in, and said, "You didn't play with me before, we should be friends now, next time I'll find it by myself." You play." In the future, there is no need to find Daniel, that idiot who can't even find an excuse, to call him out.

Mai Mai was disrespectful, so he had to reach out and open it.The purse should also be sewn with leftovers from clothes. Originally, it only had a blue background, but someone embroidered a round of purple stitches around it, which shows that he is also a dexterous person.The purse was sealed with an elastic band, and when the wheat was pulled apart, a faint scent of incense could be smelled.He once followed his elder brother to dig the roots of cypress trees, and when he smelled them, he knew that they had been smoked when the cypress trees were burned.This kind of purse is usually made to ward off evil spirits and keep children safe, and some of them have been carried since they were born.

"You don't want this pouch anymore?" Maimai was a little surprised, he only knew that the eldest brother of Cao'er's family had such a pouch, and he went to the town to look for a Buddhist temple to enshrine when he was just born.

"Hey, I made a new one for me, and this is for you." Since he stuffed the purse into his hand, Shizhu quickly went down the river, and at this moment he seemed to be seriously fishing, and shouted from afar.

Seeing that he really didn't seem to care about this thing, Mai Mai squeezed the five-color rope inside and put it in his arms.If it is really important, after being scolded by him, he will definitely ask him to go back, or return it to him when he wants to go back later. It will be troublesome if he falls into the water now.
