Chapter 31 Things from Hangzhou Prefecture
"Uncle, this is shy!"
Xiao Liu enjoys talking.
Song Jin came out of the house and heard it just so hard.
This family is much more happy because of the second aunt.
When Xiao Liu saw Song Jin''s eyes lit up, he smiled and came up: "My wife, there are steamed buns in the pot, do you want to eat them?"
"Thank you, Second Aunt, I''ll get it later."
Song Jin was stunned by Xiao Liu''s attentive appearance. Xiao Liu''s previous life was not so enthusiastic.
Xiao Liu said again: "I''ll help you get it."
"How can this work? I can do it myself." Song Jin didn''t dare to ask his elders to help get food.
I went into the kitchen and took two steamed buns.
When Song Jin came out again, he saw the adults at home, holding tools to go out.
But Xiao Liu was slow to go.
"Da Lang''s wife, are you going to the county again today?" Xiao Liu asked softly.
Song Jin nodded.
I was wondering what happened to Xiao Liu’s family today.
Xiao Liu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he asked in a low voice: "I heard from my sister-in-law that you have found a job in the county, and you have 500 ounces a month?"
Song Jin nodded again.
"Is the pharmacy still accepting people?"
Xiao Liu looked at her, looking forward to her.
Song Jin now understands.
It turned out that I wanted to find a job.
But when she thought that Xiao Liu went to the pharmacy to work, and then she couldn''t hide anything in the pharmacy, Song Jin was so excited that she didn''t show her face, but said:
"Second Aunt, the shopkeeper in the shop didn''t say he would accept the person. I''ll tell you when they accept the person."
“Okay!”
Xiao Liu was happy, swung his **** and put it on his shoulder, walked a few steps and turned around and told me: "My wife, please tell me if you have news."
"Okay, sure."
Song Jin answered sincerely.
Qin Chi walked over, "What did you promise to Second Aunt?"
"Ask the shop if it still accepts people. If you accept them again, tell her."
Whether to accept people or not is all Song Jin''s words.
Song Jin did not say he was accepting the person now, which means that he was just polite words just now.
Song Jin divided the steamed buns in his hand to Qin Chi.
Qin Chi took it and took a bite, "This is steamed by Aunt San."
"You can eat this?" Song Jin was surprised.
Qin Chi said, "The steamed buns from Aunt San were soft."
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Sanlang ran here from the backyard and hurriedly greeted the two when he saw them.
The little hand was black, as if it was stained with black charcoal, and was standing by the water tank to scoop water to wash his hands.
The little hand grabbed it.
A black handprint immediately appeared in the handle of the gourd.
"How many?" Qin Chi said in a daze.
Sanlang replied with a smile: "There is half a basin. My brother will change the candy for me next time. I want to buy all the candy."
"You kid has this little future, learn from your second brother." Qin Chi raised his eyebrows.
Saburo shook his head like a rattle.
"I don''t want to be as stupid as my second brother. I can still eat it if I change the candy, but my mother will search it. I have worked hard and no penny left. My second brother is so miserable, it''s in vain."
Qin Chi chuckled.
Song Jin was confused when he heard it.
Sanlang went to the pot to pick up two steamed buns, ate them in big mouthfuls, and ran to the yard behind the Qin family after he finished eating.
Song Jin asked: "What is he going to do?"
"Take cigarettes. I usually make the ink I use myself, and I will give it to Mr. Shan Nagata if there are any extras."
Seeing that she was curious, Qin Chi took her to a thatched house behind the Qin family.
On the floor of the house, there were dozens of oil lamps lit in porcelain bowls. On top of the small flame, a large porcelain bowl was pressed upside down. The large porcelain bowl is fixed with a bamboo cover.
The flames soaked a thin layer of black smoke into the bowl.
At this time, Saburo lifted a bamboo cover with his left hand and a chicken feather in his right hand, scraping the black ash on the inside of the large porcelain bowl bit by bit.
There is only a thin layer of black powder at the bottom of the basin, which is exactly what Saburo calls a small basin in his mouth.
Song Jin is about to know Xiao Ban.
At most, this is just covering the bottom of the pelvic floor.
"This is the cigarette to make ink..."
Song Jin first saw this method of getting cigarettes.
Qin Chi did not deny it, "It is also troublesome to go deep into the mountains to find old pine trees, so I used tung oil to get the cigarette."
The tung oil lamps used for lighting at night by the people are tung oil, and they may be bought in counties or townships, but lard and lacquer are also added to the tung oil made by Qin Chi.
The production process of Hui ink is complicated.
Smoke and glue are the two main raw materials for making Hui ink.
Take cigarettes is just the first step in making and it is extremely particular.
Huangshan pine is the original material for smoking. It is also necessary to use old pine trees that are not good for deep mountains and forests. It is like pine trees in cracks of stones. The smoke produced by the tree is the best quality.
But it is difficult to find old pine trees.
Ink makers gradually replaced it with oil smoke.
This is the job of shaves not heavy, but it is tedious and time-consuming.
Qin Chi left it to Erlang and Sanlang for doing it.
Song Jin also saw ink making tools and several ceramic basins placed in the corner next to him. The basin is covered with wooden boards, which should be the raw material.
This is someone else''s craftsmanship, and Song Jin didn''t ask much about it.
Qin Chi checked.
So he asked Sanlang to do his best and promised to bring him candy when he came back next time.
Saburo was so happy that he couldn''t find North.
When Song Jin saw Sanlang being fooled, he could only say that children are so fooled.
When she had not stayed at home for a long time, Song Jin followed Qin Chi to her home in the county town again.
This time Li did not follow him.
However, he took Qin Chi to the room and explained it to him. When Qin Chi came out to look at Song Jin again, his eyes were strange, probably related to the birth of his eldest grandson.
Song Jin pretended not to see it.
That night, someone came to knock on the door.
Qin Chi went to see the person coming.
The visitor did not enter the house, but just handed Qin Chi a cloth bag.
Song Jin took a puzzled look, and the cloth bag in his hand.
Qin Chi said, "I asked the other party to enter the house, and the man said no. He just said there was something from Hangzhou Prefecture and was ordered to send it to you. Madam, is this sent by your relative?"
“Maybe it…”
Song Jin was confused and said perfunctory.
His eyes fell on the cloth bag, and he didn''t dare to reach out to pick it up.
When Qin Chi looked at the cloth bag, "This bag is not heavy, do you want to open it? Do you want me to open it for you..."
"No, I''ll do it!"
Song Jin grabbed the cloth bag and his hands trembled slightly. When he was about to open it, he looked at Qin Chi again, wanting to speak but stopping.
Qin Chi smiled and said, "I''ll go to the west wing to read the book. If you are tired, take a break."
"good…"
Song Jin is grateful for his considerateness.
After Qin Chi left the room.
Song Jin opened the cloth bag in a panic.
It was a woman''s dress.
The dress is already very damaged, but the materials, styles and embroidery can still be seen as being the local style in Huizhou.
Song Jin opened her dress and found the sleeve of her left hand.
One of the sleeves is opened.
When I saw the seal script "Song" embroidered inside, Song Jin''s luck was gone!
Tears in my eyes dripped all of a sudden...
