Buddhist Rebirth Daily

The clerk handed the box to Chen Jiayuan at the sign of the shopkeeper, but Chen Jiayuan did not open it immediately, but directly handed it to Lin Zhiqiang who was standing aside.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, and his opinion of Chen Jiayuan improved a lot.

"I wonder if the shopkeeper wants a small screen here?" Chen Jiayuan asked proactively.

The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat. The screen has high requirements for embroidery, because only an embroiderer who has the skill of double-sided embroidery can complete it. Moreover, a screen must at least be embroidered with patterns that reflect each other on all four sides. constitute.

Their embroidery shop is the largest in Chongzhou, but so far, no embroiderer has produced such embroidery.

"Ms. Lin knows how to embroider on both sides?" He asked tentatively.

"I've learned a little bit." Chen Jiayuan said with a smile.

Seeing Chen Jiayuan's confident smile and thinking of the neat stitches on the desk, the shopkeeper almost immediately affirmed that Chen Jiayuan could do this.

"I wonder what kind of screen Miss Lin wants to embroider?" he asked.

"It's the kind of screen placed on the Kang table, um, it's embroidered on eight sides." She said.

This kind of screen is not very practical, it is almost used as an ornament and a work of art, and because of this, only those rich families will buy it, such as princes, she has seen it in the study of Prince Ouyang before, It is said that it cost thousands of taels of silver to buy it.

The shopkeeper naturally thought of this, and looked at Chen Jiayuan with some caution.

"As long as Mrs. Lin embroiders it, our embroidery shop will naturally want it. As for the price, it will definitely satisfy Mrs. Lin." The shopkeeper said.

"Okay, we have to trouble the shopkeeper to prepare the yarn and silk thread, as well as the wooden frame." Chen Jiayuan said.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, after the New Year's Eve, Mrs. Lin will come and pick it up." The shopkeeper said, it will take some time for him to prepare these things, but the work is worth it after the finished product is finished.

After leaving the embroidery shop, Lin Zhiqiang couldn't help asking: "Lady, is the screen you want to embroider more exhausting than the one you embroidered before?"

Chen Jiayuan nodded: "The one I embroidered before was just simple embroidery skills. Although the things I embroidered were large, the value was not high. The things I want to embroider next require high embroidery skills, but they are very valuable."

She thought for a while: "For example, there are two things in front of you, each of which takes the same amount of time, but one is easy, and you get 10 coins for finishing it, and the other is very expensive. Difficult, but you will get 100 coins after finishing it, which one would you choose?"

She paused and said, "I'll choose the one that makes more money."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Lin Zhiqiang towards the crowd.

This time, Mother Lin gave the two of them three taels of silver for the purchase of new year's goods, but there were not many things to buy, including Spring Festival couplets and some food. A few bags of sugar only cost two taels of silver, which shows the price level of this era.

Back home, Chen Jiayuan handed over the bought things to Mother Lin, and then went back to her own room, and opened the box given by the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop.

There were two silver bills inside, one for 100 taels and one for 20 taels. Excluding the ten tael deposit given at that time, she made a net profit of 110 taels of silver. Chen Jiayuan smiled while holding the silver bills.

She put away the banknotes, and then took three liang of silver from the box where she kept her private money and went to Lin Mu's house.

"Mother, I went to hand in the embroidery today, and the shopkeeper gave me the silver, which was delivered to the public." Chen Jiayuan smiled and handed the silver to Mother Lin.

Mother Lin looked at it, put the money away with a smile, and said, "Embroidery hurts your eyes, so you should do less in the future."

Chen Jiayuan hugged Mother Lin's arm and said: "I see, my lady, I'm going to stop for a while now. The New Year is coming, and I'm going to remake Qiangzi's cotton padded clothes. Mom, give me your and daddy's cotton padded clothes too. We did it together."

Mother Lin smiled and said, "I really can't rest for a moment."

After finishing speaking, she found out her own and Father Lin's cotton padded clothes. Chen Jiayuan saw that they were indeed quite old.

"Later, I will bring you the cotton I have stored at home. You can make it together with golden flowers and sweet-scented osmanthus. I just want to point out the female reds of the two of them. There are some cotton cloths here. You can also take them there." Mother Lin said.

"Okay, thank you, mother." After finishing speaking, Chen Jiayuan left Mother Lin's room.

Seeing the daughter-in-law going out happily, Mother Lin's hands moved a lot more lightly.

The twelfth lunar month is the most leisurely month for the farm family. In this month, apart from the New Year, there is nothing else to worry about.Lin Zhiqiang is going to try his luck on the mountain.

The third brother, the big brother's follower, naturally wanted to follow, and the children in the village all gathered around the stream in front of the village, ready to catch fish.It is a tradition to eat fish during the Chinese New Year, so every twelfth lunar month, these fish will inevitably be poisoned by the children in the village.

Little Four and Little Five were no exception, even sometimes, Jin Hua would go with them.When they are caught, they are kept in wooden basins at home, and eaten during the Chinese New Year. If they catch big fish, they can be exchanged for money.

After Lin Zhiming came back from the hospital, he has been lying in the room recuperating from his injuries. He was restless at first, but he always wanted to go to the ground after hearing from the doctor that his legs were fine. Later, it was Chen Jiayuan who said: "This leg is injured. It's like there is a crack on the bowl, if the crack is not repaired, once you use force, the bowl will fall apart, just like this."

After finishing speaking, she knocked the bowl lightly on the table, and the bowl was split in half. Lin Zhiming felt a tingling pain in his leg instantly. Since then, except for necessary moving, he never clamored to go to the ground. go out.

Whenever he had such thoughts, Chen Jiayuan's words and the torn bowl would involuntarily appear in front of him.

Healing an injury naturally requires supplements. How can there be so many supplements at home? There are eggs, but an egg is worth a penny. After eating it twice, Lin Zhiming refused to eat it.Chen Jiayuan had no choice but to tell them that it would be good to get some small fish and shrimp to make soup.

So, apart from strolling up the mountain, the younger members of the Lin family went to the river every day, and Lin Zhiming had fish soup every night to replenish his body.

"Sister-in-law, we're back." Osmanthus fragrans said in a depressed tone.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jiayuan asked quickly.

"It's okay. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are more people going fishing. These children didn't catch any fish, so they feel a little bored." Jin Hua explained on the sidelines.

"Let me take a look." Chen Jiayuan leaned over to take a look, and there were a few small fish scattered in the barrel, which were indeed much less than a few days ago.

"It's okay, let's go tomorrow." Chen Jiayuan comforted.

Jin Hua put the wooden bucket and was about to go to see Lin Zhiming in the house. When she left, she said to Xiao Wu, "Hurry up and throw away that thing, you will hurt your finger in a while, let's see if you cry or not."

Xiao Wu didn't take it seriously, and made a face at Jin Hua.

Chen Jiayuan glanced over and felt that the things in Xiao Wu's hands looked familiar.

"Xiao Wu, what are you holding in your hand, show your sister-in-law." Chen Jiayuan greeted Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu has a good impression of this sister-in-law who often cooks delicious food for herself, and also buys candy for herself. Hearing Chen Jiayuan's greeting, she ran up to her and raised the things in her hand .

Sure enough, crayfish, something that is sought after by people in modern times, is actually here.

"Where did this thing come from?" Chen Jiayuan had already thought of many ways to make crayfish.

"Sister-in-law, don't touch him, he will bite." Xiao Si hurriedly stepped forward to remind him.

Xiao Wu took a step back slightly, afraid that his sister-in-law would be bitten,

"Okay, Xiaosi, tell sister-in-law, are there many things?" She was like a big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Four nodded.

Chen Jiayuan's smile got bigger, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu somehow felt that sister-in-law's smile was a bit creepy.

"There are a lot of these things in the river, and they will bite people if you are not careful. Everyone hates it." Osmanthus fragrans also joined the chat.

"In this way, you take your sister-in-law to catch some, and your sister-in-law will make delicious food for you." Chen Jiayuan threw out the bait.

"This food is hard and can't be chewed. Someone in the village has tried it, and it's not delicious." Osmanthus fragrans said knowledgeable.

"Sister-in-law has a way, do you believe in sister-in-law?" She continued to coax, for this bite, is it easy for her?

Looking at the sister-in-law who created a lot of delicious food in the Lin family, the three younger ones chose to trust her unconditionally.

Taking the bamboo basket, Chen Jiayuan went to the kitchen to get the tongs, and a group of people marched towards the creek heroically.

The words of the children are not false at all. This thing is rampant in the creek, swaggering across the grass and stones, completely ignoring the footsteps of humans. They are used to the fear of humans.

But they didn't expect that this group of three and four would give them a new understanding of the world.

The three little ones often come to the river, and they are quite familiar with dealing with this thing. Chen Jiayuan uses the pliers in his hand to quickly grab the fleeing crayfish.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" I met Sanbo's cousin.

"Sister-in-law said she would cook for us, big cousin, come and catch fish too." Osmanthus greeted familiarly.

"Yes." said the boy.

When I got closer, I realized that they were grabbing things that no one wanted. The boy's eyes were a little tangled. Mother said that this cousin was a lady from the city. It was true. She even took this thing back and ate it. She looked inside her basket of two half-sized fish.

The young man thought for a while, then took out one and handed it over: "Sister-in-law, I caught this. I heard that my second cousin is recovering from his injuries. You can take it back and give him a treat."

Hearing that it was for Lin Zhiming's body, Chen Jiayuan did not refuse. After thanking the young man, he devoted himself to fighting the crayfish again.

The young man paused as he left. Seeing the sister-in-law in the city clumsily chasing after the fleeing Red Tong, he sighed and joined the fight helplessly.

Chen Jiayuan looked at a large basket of crayfish that kept churning, and said to the young man, "Thank you for today. When I have finished cooking, ask them to send you some. You can try it too."

Looking at the horns on the head of the red pliers, the young man nodded bitterly. He really wanted to refuse, but he was too embarrassed to say it, what should I do?
