I was a young master in ancient times

An Zhonghua was arranging time, he carefully arranged the itinerary in the yamen, and planned to leave for Dongye County in half a month to find his elder brother whom he had never met.His father was busy, and Ankang took Huzi to Xiawa Village again.

Qiu Yuan's family is drying wheat.Qiu Shan was sitting upright on a small stool with a small bowl in his hand, and from time to time squeezed something yellow out of the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.Ankang probed outside the yard, picked up a small stone, and threw it through the fence under control.The small stone rolls to the front of Qiu Shan. "elder brother?"

"Where's your brother?"

Qiu Shan ran over to open the door with the bowl in his arms, and Ankang saw fried worms in the bowl.He took a step back with some disgust, "Xiaoshan, why are you eating bugs?"

Huzi leaned over and picked up a worm from Qiu Shan's bowl and threw it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it.Ankang took two steps back, "Why are you two so disgusting."

"Master, this thing smells good." While speaking, Huzi picked up another worm from Qiu Shan's bowl, and he leaned closer to show Ankang, "This is a cicada monkey. It's a cicada that hasn't climbed the tree yet. It's fried." It tastes the best when eaten. Young master, try it."

Ankang still shook his head in disgust, he didn't want to eat this stuff.Standing two steps away, he asked Qiu Shan, "Where's your brother?"

"Go to Brother Zhao's house to play. The big dog in Brother Zhao's house has a litter of puppies." Qiu Shan gestured a short distance with his hand, "The puppy is a little bit bigger." He put the bowl on the courtyard gate On the stone next to it, "Brother, let me show you."

Ankang is also a person who likes to join in the fun.Immediately followed Qiu Shan.Go forward in the village and pass two houses, then turn on the path on the left, the second house is Zhao's.Zhao Jiaxuan built an earthen wall half a person's height, and the courtyard door was wide open.Qiu Shan trotted all the way into the yard, shouting as he ran, "Brother, brother, that brother from last time is here again."

"What brother from last time?" Qiu Yuan was squatting there looking at the cubs.

"Me." Ankang also entered the door at this time, and saw the big dog lying under the eaves at a glance, and there was a row of sucking puppies under the belly.

Zhao Qin turned his head and said pleasantly, "Ankang?"

"It turns out that the brother of the Zhao family mentioned in Xiaoshankou is you." Ankang leaned over and saw that the eyes of the suckling puppies hadn't been opened yet, and they were just sucking instinctively.Five puppies of different colors.There are gray, white, and three flowers.Ankang tentatively stretched out his hand to pet the puppy, but the big dog that was lying on the ground raised its head vigilantly and stared at him motionless.

Zhao Qin patted the big dog's head and comforted him, "Da Hua, lie down." The big dog lay down obediently.Zhao Qin grabbed the gray puppy.The puppy howled with milk stains around its mouth.Perhaps it was because the owner was holding the puppy, and Dahua lay on the ground peacefully this time, without showing any signs.Zhao Qin held the little gray dog's tail and showed it to Ankang. He said, "The tip of this kind of tail is white. Use a rope to tie up the white part of the tail, and cut it off when it grows up."

Ankang listened to Zhao Qin's statement with a confused expression, "Why? This little gray dog ​​looks pretty good."

Zhao Qin put the little gray dog ​​back under the big dog's belly, and the little dog, whose eyes were not open, searched for the smell of milk and found a place to suckle spontaneously.Zhao Qindao, "There seems to be a saying. If there is a dog with a white tail in the house, they will do this." "Qiu Yuan, have you chosen well? I have to tell my mother if I have chosen it, and she will let it go give others."

Qiu Yuan pointed to the flower dog beside the little gray dog ​​and said, "I want the one with the flower on the head."

"Can I have one too." Ankang was also greedy, he hadn't raised a puppy yet.

"Then you choose." Zhao Qin was very generous, "The puppy will be weaned in a month and can be taken home." His family only needs one dog.Every year the puppies are given away.

Ankangzai looked at it carefully for a while, then discussed with Huzi, and finally chose the little flower dog who was the smallest.The color of the little flower dog is different from that chosen by Qiu Yuan. Its flowers are more orange, and there is a lump of miscellaneous hair on the side of the buttocks.Ankang made a decisive decision. His dog was named Huahua, and Huahua belonged to a male.Qiu Yuan laughed at Ankang for being a waste of a name, why a little male dog named Huahua, this should be the name of a little female dog.Ankang said unconvinced, "I'll see what good name you can come up with."

Qiu Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "My dog ​​is called Xiaotiangou."

"Shoutiangou? Could it be that you want to be Erlang God?" Ankang grinned, "The Xiaotiangou in mythology is a black dog, right? What is your white dog with flowers called Xiaotiangou?"

"Why can't Hua's dog be called Xiaotiangou?" The two started a discussion on the fur color of Xiaotiangou. After a while, Zhao Qin and Huzi also joined in the heated discussion.After discussing for half an afternoon, Zhao Qin, a nerd, even quoted a passage from the scriptures, but in the end the discussion did not come to any conclusion.After eating the milk, the little dog with flowers on his head, lying on the side basking in the sun and sleeping, was still called Xiaotiangou.

After getting a puppy, Ankang went home contentedly.Suddenly remembered something, Ankang patted his head, "We have to build a kennel for Huahua. Otherwise, there is no place for dogs to sleep in my yard."

"If the young master wants it, Xu will send one to the house tomorrow." Ankang and Huzi were startled when someone interrupted. They both turned their heads and found that it was the shopkeeper Xu of the cloth village.

"Shopkeeper Xu." This shopkeeper Xu looked only in his 20s, and I heard from Huzi that he was not married yet.

Xu Li saluted Ankang respectfully, and he said, "Master, let me take a step to speak."

Take a step to speak?Ankang looked at this exceptionally young shopkeeper suspiciously, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't understand how a shopkeeper of a cloth shop would have an excuse to say something to a young man who was idle all day long.He followed Xu Li suspiciously to Buzhuang not far away.In the back room of the cloth village, a group of little embroiderers are embroidering with their heads bowed.Someone quickly looked up and saw that the shopkeeper brought a young son, although he was curious in his heart, he didn't dare to look any further.

"Shopkeeper Xu?" Ankang didn't know why, so what did Xu Li bring him to see these embroiderers?Could it be that his mother still expects him to learn embroidery?

"I'm afraid the young master has never seen the family's property."

Ankang looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what this Xu guy wanted to do.

Xu Li led Ankang to the house in the south of the backyard, and only then did he explain his intention to find Ankang. "Someone Xu has taken a fancy to the young master's things, I wonder if the young master can enlighten me?"

"What?" His family and his face are probably the only things he can make people look at, but these two things are not something that can be taught.God rewards the meal.

Xu Li didn't hesitate, and said bluntly, "A few days ago, the young master was looking for an embroiderer to dress up a small float at the gate of the cloth village. At that time, Xu noticed that most of the women onlookers were envious. The small float that the young master gave to the old lady that day, On the second day, someone came to my place to inquire if I could customize a float like that. I want to take advantage of the young master's limelight and start a business." Xu Li said at the end, his eyes lit up.For businessmen, discovering business opportunities and profits is an obsession, like a nerd with a single book.

Ankang thought for a moment, and said, "If shopkeeper Xu wants to start this business, I have another idea. In addition to floats, flowers can also be packaged in light gauze. You don't need too many flowers, just pack a few into a package." It’s easy for the little girl to hold it.” Ankang saw the shopkeeper Xu nodding his head from time to time, looking very serious, and said, “I don’t know if fake flowers are easy to sell or not. If you have craftsmanship, you can use light flowers The shape of yarn clustered into flowers is beautiful no matter whether it is wrapped into a bouquet or placed in a vase. I, I have read from a book that velvet flowers can be made with a kind of woolen yarn and very fine copper wire. That kind of Velvet flowers are also very beautiful when made. Smaller flowers can be glued to hairpins, and large flowers can also be placed in vases.”

"Oh?" Xu Li was quite interested, "Young master, do you still remember which book you read it from?"

Ankang scratched his head and said, "I read it a long time ago, but I can't remember which book it is." He can hardly recognize the ancient traditional Chinese characters, and he can read any books.It's just a pretense.In the past, he saw some science popularization programs, some of which popularized science about ancient people's craftsmanship, and they talked about the production process of velvet flowers.

Xu Li sighed, the young master doesn't remember anything, so it's useless to say anything.

"Master Xu, I can give it a try." He still remembers the general steps, "but I need thin copper wire, very thin copper wire. Embroidery thread of various colors, mane comb. It's best for me, little The embroiderer will do it. My hands, hehe, are very rough, not as delicate as the little embroiderer."

"Master." Shopkeeper Xu now sees what Ankang thinks.He used to hear that his young master was an ignorant dude.One □ □ The master who can climb words and get angry grabbed off his beard.After these two incidents, he discovered that his young master was not as ignorant as rumored outside.Thinking about it, I have read a lot of books and understood a lot of things.Otherwise how would you know this.He excitedly said, "Master, you can give it a try. Xu must prepare the materials."

From this day on, Ankang took the tiger into the back hall of the cloth village early in the morning.Study tumbler, tipping, passing flowers, and sticking flowers all day long.Xu Li found another room in the back hall of Bu Zhuang, and all the people he found were embroidered women who had signed a death contract, and he was at the mercy of Ankang.

Arrange the embroidery threads of various colors on a wooden stick according to the needs, then split each embroidery thread, and finally use a brush to smooth the split threads.If you encounter knots when combing, you can dip some water and comb slowly.Ankang didn't have this kind of patience, he just snapped the knotted thread with a pair of scissors.The little embroidered girls in Buzhuang seem to be born to eat this bowl of rice, and they are full of patience.After combing the thread, take a thin copper wire and fold it in half, clamp the velvet up and down, and twist the two separated copper wires together.Use scissors to cut off an appropriate amount of velvet, hold the two ends of the copper wire and twist it repeatedly until a complete velvet strip is formed.The embroiderer of the cloth village has practiced for two days just for the velvet.Only then can the second step be performed, the sharpening.Sharpening depends on the individual's performance. Use scissors to process the velvet.For flower transmission, it is necessary to configure the pointed velvet strips into three-dimensional velvet flowers.The final sticky flower is to use thread to wrap the finished flower on various utensils, such as the tail of the hairpin.

He stopped running to Xiawa Village, and Huahua also forgot about it.After breakfast, Ankang and Huzi went to Buzhuang and didn't go home until dinner.Grandma An was dissatisfied that Ankang went to the back hall of Buzhuang to hang out with the little embroidered ladies all day long, so she called Wei Shi for questioning. "I heard that Kang'er often goes to the cloth shop recently. If he doesn't buy cloth, why does he go to the cloth shop?"

Mrs. Wei offered tea to Grandma An, and replied, "A few days ago, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop told his daughter-in-law about this. Kang Er sent a carload of flowers to mother on behalf of father." The old lady blushed a little when she heard this Li Hong asked, "What happened to the flower?"

"The shopkeeper of the cloth shop said that after that day, many people inquired and wanted to order the float. Later, Kanger thought of a way to make flowers, and the shopkeeper asked him to study it."

Grandma An said sternly, "What is a boy's family doing with these flowers all day long? He should read more." Thinking about her grandson's homework, the old woman immediately stopped talking.But he couldn't help but said, "At his age, he needs to be watched carefully. If he doesn't pay attention, he will easily learn bad things. You, a mother, need some refreshment."

Wei quickly responded with a low eyebrow, "My daughter-in-law knows."
