Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 54

In a blink of an eye, another five days have passed, and the busy days of Zhao Yiyi and An Dalang have also passed, and the new cave has been fully equipped, and Zhao Yiyi still has time to modify the bedding that looks the same One or two, at least it doesn't look like a wholesale uniform. In order to save some money and look like a nouveau riche, Zhao Yiyi only bought 7 quilts and divided the quilt into two. For the bed, one is used as a mattress, and the other is used as a quilt, which can be regarded as worthy of their family situation. If one has a heated kang, he doesn't care if the quilt is thinner, and no one is cold.Not to mention it's summer, I'm afraid it's too hot!And the windows are also glued up. Once the white linen cloth is put up, Dabao and the others are jealous. It's a pity that they don't have a bed, otherwise it would be so beautiful. Although the windows in this cave are dead, they can't push them. Playing, but jealous of things that I don't have, this is a child's instinct, isn't it!
There are also things for the carpenter, things for embroidery, ingredients and seasonings for the New Year at home, everything is ready, the rice tank is finally full again, even Uncle Lin's bow and arrows are ready, they are finally at ease Some, the next thing is to wait quietly, waiting for the arrival of other people, waiting for the New Year.

Zhao Yiyi made a lot of bacon, bacon, blood sausage, sausage, and these meats at home, cabbage, radish, dried vegetables, eggs, leftover dried mushrooms and fungus from the village Dried, winter bamboo shoots, pickled sour bamboo shoots, pickles, bought kelp, seaweed, I finally feel alive and able to live a normal year.

Sitting on the bed, with an embroidery frame in hand, Zhao Yiyi began to make handkerchiefs. Although the silk was expensive to buy, even if they were leftover silk rags from tailor shops, it cost 50 cents a basket. Among them, less than 100% were able to make handkerchiefs, and the rest could only think of ways to make purses.In addition, the full set of embroidery thread that An Dalang bought in the county, the full-color embroidery thread, the rope for making purses, the thread for making nets, etc., almost paid for the pork that An Dalang stayed in the county. It took half of it, but Zhao Yiyi thought it was worth it when he thought that this thing could be made into handmade embroidered handkerchiefs and purses, and then sold at a high price.She has already tried it, and a small piece of magnolia flower veil can sell for 120 yuan!How much fabric is that veil?The purse is about [-] yuan. Zhao Yiyi's eyes are red at these prices. Although she will work harder, and the cost is not low, but anyway, this is a low-profile earner that is more in line with the current trend. Money method, not to mention, she can use these An Dalang to sell to the embroidery shop in the county, in exchange for real money!The embroidery she learned is not the embroidery of ordinary women in this era, but a full set of work such as Shu embroidery, Suzhou embroidery, Yue embroidery, etc.!

Zhao Yiyi is busy here full of energy, and An Dalang is also full of energy. With his efforts and the assistance of Dabao and Erbao, the new dining table has been prepared, and the neat tabletop is no longer the original one. The kind of splicing that can be seen from the desktop to the rough stuff on the ground, and what he is currently processing is a cupboard, which is something that can be seen as soon as he enters the house!

"Uncle, why do you know everything!"

Dabao looked at his uncle with eyes of admiration, and he felt that this was his idol!Er Bao also nodded, his face was full of excitement, he fiddled with this, touched that, he was very curious about An Dalang's carpenter's tools.

"How can you know everything, uncle can't read, how good do you think he can be?"

While busy with his hands, An Dalang was talking to his nephew with a smile on his face. He was really nice to children, and he was a man who liked children.For children's questions, almost all questions must be answered!
"But, didn't uncle come back from buying books? We all saw it."

Dabao immediately pointed out the evidence of his uncle's dishonesty, and Erbao also followed suit. From their point of view, uncle bought books and came back, so he must know how to read.

"It was bought by my uncle because he knew how to read. He bought it for the purpose of learning how to read. My uncle and the bookstore made an agreement. If I teach me to read ten characters, I will give him five cents for Shuxiu. I bought a copy of the most To put it simply, as long as this instinct is able to read well, then uncle can at least know thousands of characters. People say that he can know thousands of characters, and then he can be said to be able to read! Tell me, uncle can count now. Literacy?"

When An Dalang said this, he was also a little excited. He had already learned ten characters this time!Although it costs a tael of silver to buy a book, it doesn't matter as long as you can learn to read and write. Grandson, it's not impossible, the guy said, many rich families even purposely build a library, just to pass on the books!I don't have any buildings to build at home, but it is possible to pass on books.

"Ah! It's so difficult! How long will it take to learn!"

Dabao touched his head, his brows were wrinkled, he suddenly felt a little confused, he had planned to learn hunting from his uncle, so that he would be able to eat well and live a good life, no longer what he used to be , I always feel hungry, but seeing my uncle as a carpenter, he thought that being a carpenter is also very good, and he wanted to learn. In the past, there was a clan brother in his village who was sent to the town to learn carpentry. , You can work and support your family.But now that he has to learn how to read characters, why does he feel that he has so much to learn? There are so many things he wants to learn!And everything seems to be very difficult, very difficult, how does this make him choose!too difficult.

"So many characters? That book has so many characters, how did you write them down? The characters on the ancestral hall are all very big, and this book only has so many characters!"

But Er Bao had a simpler mind. What he noticed was another problem. When he brought the book back, he also looked at it curiously. many things?He felt as if he didn't understand. Could it be that there is a difference in this word?

Seeing the two children rubbing their heads with puzzled faces, An Dalang smiled very complacently, feeling that he seemed to know more than ordinary people, although these were the same things he had just learned from the guy. He was a new student there, but once he knew it, he knew it. He was still very proud.

"Silly boy, the characters are the same, but the characters can be written larger or smaller. Those that are to be hung on the door should naturally be larger, so that people can see from a long distance. Besides, how many words can there be on this door? The number is small, so naturally there is no need to worry about taking up space. This book is different. It is for writing more and letting people learn. The idea is to write smaller and smaller, as long as you can see clearly? As for how long it takes to learn characters? It depends on how you think. If you only want to know characters, then it doesn’t take much effort. After a year and a half, it is estimated that it will be almost done, but if you want to be learned and be an official, it will be terrible. You have to read a lot of books, books that can fill the room. It is estimated that it is impossible to finish reading in ten or eight years. Those gentlemen in the county town have read at least a dozen books! How long do you think it will take?"

"Uncle, you have to hunt, do carpentry, and learn to read. It's so hard! How long will it take Dabao to learn to be like Uncle! Oh, and you can also make kangs and build walls. These uncles can do it too! Even I think my little uncle knows it all, and I seem to want to learn it too! There is also digging herbs, and my father also said that I want to learn, uncle, I seem to have a lot of things to learn, and I will be too busy!"

Dabao was very distressed, and couldn't help throwing the question to his uncle. In his eyes, the uncle who knew everything, with that resentful look, made Zhao Yiyi laugh while watching, and couldn't help interjecting:

"Worrying about what to do, you just have to study hard. As long as you work hard, there is no reason why you can't learn? How old are you? It's impossible to hunt now, your strength is too small, and it's not good enough to learn carpentry, so You can use a year or two to learn Chinese characters first, and learn herbal medicine in your spare time. You can learn this together with character recognition. I heard that there are books about herbal medicine! Then you can learn carpentry and help with small jobs. It’s like a bench! Something. After learning this, you can understand a lot about building walls. When you’re ten years old, you start learning to hunt, just like your little uncle. When you’re older, when you’re fifteen He is six years old, and his strength has also increased. Isn’t it just that he has learned almost everything? When the time comes, he will go out to practice and practice. There are many things. If you do a lot, you can do it naturally. Your uncle is also groping for it on his own. Do it, keep thinking about it, and then you will gradually get better at it. When you grow up and think that the one you learned is the best, you should use the one you learned the best as the most important thing, and practice more. He must be able to become a person of great ability."

Zhao Yiyi put things in a simple way. He wanted to use this method to stimulate the child's motivation and courage to learn. He was afraid that the child would be afraid of difficulties. He thought that as long as he learned, he would slowly guide him forward bit by bit. , I think this child will always have one thing that can become a talent, whether it is a carpenter or a hunter, man!As long as you have the ability, you will naturally have confidence, and you will naturally be able to support yourself. Skills are always important.Just look at her shop and you'll know that with so many learning skills, don't you just want her to have more survival skills!

Of course, Zhao Yiyi's words were cryptic, and the children couldn't understand them. They just thought that the aunt had thought up a way for him. Such an idea sounded reasonable. If he went to learn according to the assignment, it would really be a good idea if he thought about it. In time.

Not only Dabao and Erbao, but An Dalang also thinks that the method he learned is good. At this time, the man has forgotten that his carpentry skills and kang skills are actually not learned, but printed directly. , still nodded vigorously, and said to Dabao:

"Dabao, if you hear me, just follow what your aunt said, and start learning from uncle tomorrow, and you will definitely be a promising person in the future!"

Dabao nodded seriously after hearing this, and said in a childish voice with a stern face:

"Uncle, I know, I can do it."

"Me too, me too."

Er Bao also came to join in the fun, and kept moving his head in front of An Dalang. He felt that he was as old as his elder brother, and if his elder brother could do it, so could he. Just like that, the two children had completely sold themselves , a miserable life ahead.Zhao Yiyi was the only one, lying on her stomach on the kang table, her constantly shaking shoulders betrayed her mood, one and two, how could they be so naive!These two kids are really interesting!Speaking of which, my younger brother seems to be able to make him learn more things like this!Zhao Yiyi's mind has turned around, and she wants to expand the scope of the disaster.

Well, good boy, we have to face the bleak life!
