The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 70 Cleaner than you
Ye Shiqi picked up chopsticks. She was not used to chopsticks for a long time. She was studying abroad in her previous life. She used more knives and forks. .

"Wu Mei, you are really amazing, hehe." Seeing Wu Mei holding the chopsticks so firmly, Siwa smiled and admired her even more than her eating posture.

Ye Shiqi raised her head and glanced at the fourth sister. At this moment, she heard the lively footsteps and voices outside the yard.

I saw some, some village elders and children I saw at other people's homes last night, all came to the yard of their own house, and their eyes were completely looking at the father who worked in the thatched house.

Many people turned their backs to the room on their side. Ye Shiqi looked out the window. At first, the adults brought the children in, and the children stood there quietly watching his father work.

Slowly, the children were a little restless, and more and more chased and played in the yard together.

Then they found their two little dolls in the room. Among these people, there were boys and girls, and they were very curious about them in the room.

"Want to come out to play? Would you like to take you out to play?"

The speaker was a six or seven-year-old girl. She came with the adults, and her brothers and sisters at home also came here to see.

Seeing Ye Shiqi, a cute and smart doll than the other sisters, watching her with chopsticks in her hand, eating skillfully, she felt that this girl is very powerful and smart.

Ye Shiqi shook her head and didn't say anything. No one else could understand what she said at this time.

"Isn't this Da Ya's youngest sister, she is much cleaner than the other sisters."

The person who spoke was an eight-year-old boy who wanted to have a runny nose.

"Goudan, you are too embarrassed to say that she is cleaner than her sister. I see her other sisters go to work, and they are also cleaner than you."

Another girl said that this boy was disgusted. This boy not only had dirty clothes, but also his face. He didn't know if he washed his face in the morning.

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you..." Goudan was laughed at by the girl and felt shameless, so he continued to chase and play with his brother.

Several girls entered the room, teasing the fourth child, and looked at Ye Shiqi who was having breakfast.

Under the eyes of the girls and sisters, Ye Shiqi finished her breakfast, put the bowl aside, and pointed her finger.

When Siwa was talking to the elder sisters, she would pay attention to Wuwa, and she could understand Wuwa's eye movements and poured water for her.

The villagers who watched Acer's carvings in the yard were already in the slack season. Apart from going up the mountain to cut firewood and mow grass, there was no more important farm work to do, unless some craftsmen went to town or county as part-time workers.

It is more idle at home, growing vegetables, cutting firewood and cutting grass. Today, all work is postponed for curiosity.

He also came for the legendary wooden Bodhisattva, and saw the wood carved by Acer slowly taking shape under his hands.

At first, I saw only the shadow of a statue, and gradually he carved almost the same. His father helped to polish it, and he picked up another piece of wood and began to carve it again.

Everyone's eyes were on the items in Father Hongji's hands, which were slowly polished by him, and the appearance of the wooden statue of the Bodhisattva was clearly displayed. Even if the paint had not been painted, the delicate face of the Bodhisattva could already be seen.

They kept admiring in their hearts, some people came to see the joke, others wanted to buy a wooden Bodhisattva, and at this time, some people were thinking about whether Acer could accept apprentices?

"Acer, your craftsmanship is so good, will you accept apprentices? Can you accept my kids as apprentices, without taking care of meals or wages, to study in your family for three years, and you don't need a penny of wages, and you have to apprentice to your family. present."

Acer looked up at the brothers in the village, remembering that Zu Xun said that the craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation cannot be passed on to others, and more people cannot learn this craftsmanship, teach apprentices, and starve the master to death.

Besides, he already has an idea, and wants his dolls to learn their own craftsmanship. There are many things at home. If there are other dolls in the village at home, there will be more troubles.

When the young boy arrives at home, the girls in the family will gradually grow up, and there are older girls around, which is really inconvenient. Letting outsiders in the house will cause trouble for the girls in the family.

"I'm sorry, brother, we don't accept apprentices."

The person who asked the question was a little disappointed, and then some people asked the price of Wood Bodhisattva.

Acer didn't say anything else, he said his proposal, and now his mother was staring at the crowd, even if he sold the goods, the money would not be in his hands.

When Lai listened to other people's questions, when he told others about the price, the water sprayed out of his mouth.

Others carefully avoided in front of her, so as not to let the water spray in her mouth.

"Is 20 cents too expensive for a wooden Bodhisattva?" said a woman in her 30s in the village.

"The price is a little more expensive. Let's make a table and sit on a stool. It doesn't need to be so expensive." An uncle in the village said.

"Are you light-eyed? This is a wooden Bodhisattva, how can it be compared to a table? A stool? The workmanship is different, and the Bodhisattva will bless you. Can a table and stool work?"

Lai rolled her eyes at these people. She thought it was too cheap to sell. She thought of things in the town or county. If they were sold in such boutique shops, the price would be doubled.

Lai's words caused many people in the village to nod their heads, thinking that the bodhisattva blesses and buys it at a higher price.

Some people started to make a deposit for Lai, saying that they would pay a penny as a deposit and come to get the finished wooden Bodhisattva at night.

Of course Lai was willing to make this deal, but she didn't know much about reading and writing, and she didn't know how to write other people's names. She could only use the symbols she could understand and write down the money she received.

With the first, there will be a second.

Acer heard that the deposit for his mother was enough for five, and at this time he said to his mother:

"Mother, I can only order five a day today, and I can only carve five of your sons. Let them come to pick them up at night, and the rest can only be postponed. If we feel that we are slow, we will not be able to rush the work. , you can't force them to give a deposit, you have to make it clear with them."

After listening to his son's words, Mrs. Lai thought that the son would do more for his husband's help in a day. He felt distressed when he heard that he could only do five and could not make more money, but he could only say to everyone:

"Have you heard what my son said? We can only postpone it until tomorrow. If we have ordered, we can postpone it to the day after tomorrow, and so on. If you are quick, you will be slow. Maybe our wooden Bodhisattva will sell more expensively in the future. , don't say we don't take care of the villagers."

Some other villagers felt that their movements were too slow and could not take the Bodhisattva home tonight, so they quickly signed up and paid the deposit.

Some hesitantly listened to Lai's words, and also became excited.

Lai's later received the deposit and received it softly. It would be troublesome for her not to be able to write, and the name represented by the symbol made her brain-damaged.
