Chapter 76: Flattery
"Open the door!"
"I won't!"
"Open the door!"
"I won't open it!"
Zhou Qing stood at the door of Zhou Huaishan and knocked on the door with a sullen face.
"If you have the guts, stay in there forever and don't come out! Don't come out when we eat later! I brought some good things back from the county today!"
In the room, Zhou Huaishan.
Leaning against the door, blinking his eyes, he weighed the pros and cons.
Opening the door, at most he would be scolded by his daughter, and she couldn't really beat her father anyway.
Not opening the door, he would lose delicious food and good things.
So
What else is there to consider!
Zhou Huaishan turned around and opened the door.
With his facial features squeezed, he looked at Zhou Qing pitifully and said weakly: "My daughter, I was wrong."
Zhou Qing glared at Zhou Huaishan fiercely.
"You instigated Pingzi to do something weird, and now Pingzi is being beaten, and you just watch?"
Zhou Huaishan.
"If I don't watch, will I beat him too? I can't do such a thing!"
Zhou Qing
A burst of anger rushed to the top of his head.
Seeing Zhou Qing's expression was not right, Zhou Huaishan immediately grabbed her arm, "Calm down, girl, calm down."
"I'm not calm at all! Can't you do something else? How idle are you to make clothes for chickens and pigs!"
Zhou Huaishan pouted and said pitifully: "I just want to think of some ways to get rich."
Zhou Qing
Get rich? Make clothes for pigs?
You are kidding!
"Really, girl, before I came here, the rich families in our area all put clothes on the cats and dogs at home. My dog Dahuang has three boxes of clothes."
Zhou Huaishan said sincerely.
Zhou Qing believed this.
After all, in the world she was in, cats and dogs were also dressed in clothes.
But!
Believe this does not mean that she believes that Zhou Huaishan did this to get rich.
Zhou Qing stared at Zhou Huaishan with a pair of eyes, and that look seemed to come from the dean of teaching.
Zhou Huaishan.
Shoulders slumped, head drooped.
"Okay, I just want to relax before studying hard tomorrow. Girl, from tomorrow on, I will work hard, study hard, work late into the night, and get up at the sound of the cock crowing."
Zhou Qing waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Huaishan's nonsense.
"I won't blame you. Go explain to Uncle San and ask him not to beat Pingzi."
After Zhou Qing finished speaking, Zhou Ping's voice came from behind her.
"Sister, it's too late. My father has already beaten me."
Zhou Ping limped in.
However, before being beaten, he was terrified, but after being beaten, he found that it was just like that.
Although Zhou Ping walked a little lame, his face was full of smiles.
"Sister, why did you buy so many beautiful gauze? That thing can't be used to make clothes! It's transparent when you wear it."
He had never seen that thing before, and it was Shen Li who told him that it was called gauze.
The topic was successfully diverted by Zhou Ping.
Zhou Huaishan immediately took the opportunity to ask, "What? My girl, you bought gauze, I'll go see."
As he said that, Zhou Huaishan smiled, raised his hands to his ears, pressed his back against the door, and squeezed out from the crack of the door next to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Ping glanced at Zhou Qing, and limped out with Zhou Huaishan.
The big and the small, muttered as they walked.
Zhou Qing looked at him, and felt his eyelids twitching wildly, and a bad premonition came over him.
"I warn you, don't think of using my gauze to make clothes for pigs, or even chickens!"
The big and the small in front of him, their shoulders collapsed at the same time.
Zhou Qing
During dinner, Zhou Qing learned that his uncle and aunt had gone to town today.
Zhao wrote down the recipe for fried fish, and brought her own fish to a restaurant in town to make fried fish on the spot, and successfully sold the recipe.
A total of 15 taels were bought.
A recipe could be sold for so much money, Zhao was so excited that her eyes were bright throughout the dinner.
This was the money she earned!
"Qing girl, why did you buy so much gauze?" Zhao said to Zhou Qing with a light smile on her lips.
"To make silk flowers."
"Silk flowers?" Zhou Yao and Zhou Ping were both puzzled, "What is that?"
"It's a flower made of gauze, fake flowers, but beautiful."
Zhao glanced at Zhou Huailin and said to Zhou Qing in confusion: "Qing girl can also make silk flowers?"
They had never even heard of it. Qing girl grew up in the same courtyard with them since she was a child, how could she suddenly know this.
"I haven't made it before, but don't there always have paper flowers every time there is a funeral in the village? I think paper flowers and silk flowers should be similar, I can make paper flowers."
Zhou Huaishan rolled his eyes silently.
Make it up!
Keep making it up!
Zhou Qing glared at him.
Zhou Huaishan immediately said, "Yes, Qing'er can make paper flowers, and they are so beautiful! They are more beautiful than those sold outside, and they are realistic and cute."
It's right to praise your daughter without thinking!
Zhou Qing
After Zhou Huaishan said this, the strangeness in Zhao and Zhou Huailin's hearts faded.
Yes, they have seen a lot of paper flowers, but no one has ever thought of making one by themselves.
Qing'er is smart.
"Qing'er, you make silk flowers, are you going to sell them?" Zhou Huailin chewed the meat in his mouth and said, "Can this thing be sold? After all, it's fake flowers."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Uncle, it will definitely be sold. Believe me, even if it can't be sold, when the flowers are made, we can display them at home during the New Year. It's also beautiful with clusters of flowers."
Zhou Qing said this, and Zhao Shi reacted.
"There are not many flowers in winter. If our silk flowers are beautiful, who wouldn't buy some to put at home to fill the festive atmosphere."
Zhou Yao followed and said: "If it can be tied into a small head flower, it will be so beautiful when worn on the head."
Zhou Ping shouted: "If it is a big knife"
Before Zhou Ping finished speaking, Zhou Huailin raised his hand and slapped him, "Shut up, your big knife is made of silk!"
Zhou Ping almost let Zhou Huailin slap his head into the bowl.
Headache, shut up.
Since Zhou Qing found a new way of business, the family started to do it after dinner.
The family of the third room had never seen silk flowers, let alone making them. When Zhou Qing started, they watched and helped.
Shen Li and Zhou Huaishan had seen it.
But seeing it doesn't mean you can do it.
Zhou Qing first pinched a peony shape with bamboo silk, and then stretched the pink gauze he bought layer by layer.
Making silk flowers requires patience and time.
Zhou Huaishan looked at it for a while and then fell asleep next to Zhou Qing.
The third family was excited and curious, and their eyes were almost never off Zhou Qing's hands, hoping to learn it after watching it once.
Shen Li sat on one side, tilted his head, supported his cheek, and looked at Zhou Qing.
He couldn't get enough of it.
Zhou Qing's fingers flew, and a lifelike gauze peony bloomed from her hands amid Zhou Ping's exclamation.
"Wow! Big sister is so amazing! This is exactly the same as the real one!"
Although Zhou Ping had never seen what a peony looked like, it didn't affect his praise for Zhou Qing.
As Zhou Ping spoke, Zhou Huaishan, who was still sleeping just now, jumped up.
"My daughter is amazing. This flower is so real that you can't tell it from a fake one. If there are some dewdrops on it, I will be angry if anyone says it's fake!"
Zhou Huaishan didn't even see the flower clearly before his eyes were fully opened.
"Yes, the flowers made by my elder sister are the best in the world!"
"Yes, the flowers made by my daughter are unmatched!"
Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Ping were getting further and further away on the road of mindless boasting.
