The ancient life of the master craftsman

21-30

Chapter 21

The next day, Yunli arrived as promised, and brought a few of his friends with him, making the old house very lively. Li Enbai felt as if there were hundreds of orioles chirping in his ears.

Qingge'er, the most outgoing, was already very familiar. There was also a little boy with skin as white as snow, weak as a willow in the wind, and his voice was soft. He was Xuege'er. Xuege'er's brother Yuge'er was a wheat-colored, resolute boy who spoke loudly. The

only girl, Duoduo, was also an interesting person. She looked ordinary, but she had a pair of beautiful eyes, which seemed to have flowing light, and she was both affectionate and ruthless, contradictory and integrated. Her voice was crisp, and she loved to tease Yuge'er the most. When she smiled, her eyes were extremely seductive.

Li Enbai put all the hair accessories he had rushed to make last night and this morning on the simple table he made, and spread the bag skin. No one knew that the table surface underneath was rough, and the four legs looked extremely shabby, but fortunately there was a piece of cloth to cover it.

He placed the brightest and most eye-catching flower-studded hair comb closest to Yunli, and arranged the others evenly, then took a step back, "Look, they're all here. If you like any of them, tell me and I'll give them to you as a gift. Don't refuse."

He said to the other four people with a smile, with an expression on his handsome face that could not be refused. Qing'er and Yunli exchanged glances, not knowing what to do. According to what they thought, these were to be sold, how could they be given to themselves for free? But Big Brother Li wouldn't let them refuse... Yu'er

looked at Yunli on the left with a look of hesitation, and at Qing'er on the right with a look of confusion, then looked at his brother's sight which he thought was hidden, and he clapped his hands, "Thank you, Big Brother Li, then we won't be polite. Tomorrow I'll help you sell the goods as a return gift!"

"Just you?" Duoduo glanced at Yu'er, "It's more like you're making trouble. It's more appropriate for me to help!"

"A good man doesn't fight with a woman, and a good boy doesn't fight with a woman either. I'll let you go and won't bother with you~" Yu Ge'er said this, but his hands were faster than anyone else, and he got the hair comb that they had been eyeing before Duoduo.

"You!" Duoduo stamped her feet in anger, "Yang Xiaoyu, put it down!"

Yu Ge'er wouldn't listen to her, and put it directly in his arms, "Thank you, Brother Li, I like it very much!" Then he made a face at Duoduo, "It's already mine, you, you should pick something else, slow Duoduo~"

Duoduo was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, and Yunli hurried forward to stop her, "Okay, okay, Duoduo, there are so many here, just pick one, don't be angry, don't be angry."

Xue Ge'er also pulled his brother to tell him not to tease Duoduo anymore, and the five of them gathered around the table in harmony again, looking at the hair combs, hairpins and earrings seriously.

"This comb is really pretty, and it's made of cloth!" The most eye-catching comb with a lot of flowers was very popular with all five people, but none of them wanted to take it away. Instead, they chose a relatively simple one. In their minds, simple patterns mean cheap prices.

Xue Ge'er chose a simple long hairpin. This kind of hairpin is often used by scholars and literati, but Li Enbai added auspicious cloud patterns, which is simple and exquisite, and more representative of Xue Ge'er's temperament.

Li Enbai looked at Xue Ge'er thoughtfully, but did not pay too much attention. Seeing that Yunli did not take any hair accessories, he asked, "Lizi, don't you like any? What kind do you like? I'll make a new one for you."

"No, Brother Li, I already have one before, so you don't need to give it to me." Yunli refused again and again. He still treasured the white pear flower in the cabinet and was reluctant to wear it out.

Li Enbai originally wanted to give him the flower-covered hair comb, but everyone chose a relatively simple style. If he gave her such a complicated one, Yunli would definitely not accept it. So he looked around the table for a few times, and finally picked up a small leaf-shaped piece of wood.

He didn't know where he took out a piece of red rope, and his fingers quickly woven it, fixing the small leaf in the middle of the woven flat knot. It only took a little more than a cup of tea (more than 20 minutes) to weave the small leaf into a bracelet.

"Here." Li Enbai handed it to Yunli, "This is made of peach kernels. It is said to have the effect of warding off evil spirits. It is not a valuable thing. Others have taken hair accessories, and you take a bracelet. Everyone has a share. Isn't it fair?"

Yunli couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. He looked at the small leaf hanging on the bracelet. It was indeed a peach kernel that was polished flat, so he accepted it with confidence and put it on his hand immediately. "Thank you, Brother Li, I will help tomorrow too, you can't refuse!"

Li Enbai thought, there are only so few things in total, why do we need so many people? But he didn't refuse, and smiled and said yes.

The five people looked at all the hair accessories and commented on them, and then they left together with satisfaction. After leaving Li Enbai's shabby house, they went to Yunli's house to chat.

Qing Ge'er grabbed Yunli's wrist and kept looking at it, "Brother Li is so amazing, this bracelet is so beautiful!"

In fact, it's just the most ordinary flat knot, but the most important thing for farmers is to fill their stomachs. Who would think of ways to braid bracelets?

It's still bright red, and it looks so good when worn on the hand. Qing Ge'er is a little envious and wants a red bracelet.

Xue Ge'er also looked over. He is much whiter than Yunli. His fingers are placed on the red bracelet. The white snow matches the vermilion, which is particularly beautiful. Yu Ge'er immediately thinks that his brother is most suitable for red. "I don't know if Brother Li sells bracelets. I want to buy one!"

"I want it too..." Duoduo looked at Xue Ge'er's fingers on the red string, not knowing whether he wanted the bracelet or Xue Ge'er's skin color.

Xue Geer smiled softly and spoke slowly, "You'll know tomorrow if you ask. You're just staring at me. Li will hide in a while."

"Hahahaha, Li is not so thin-skinned. Li is really powerful, isn't she?" Qing Geer teased Yun Li and was grabbed and punched by Yun Li.

Several people laughed and made noises, and they didn't leave until almost noon. They agreed to go to Li's house early the next morning and go to the market with Li Enbai to sell hair accessories.

April 1st, big market.

Yun Li and Qing Geer helped to set up the table, Xue Geer spread the tablecloth, Yu Geer took out all the goods and arranged them one by one. The five people worked quickly and well, leaving Li Enbai no place to use his skills. Seeing that several people were enthusiastic, he simply stepped back and let them play freely.

At the beginning, the five people were still very shy, and no one dared to come forward to greet the guests. You pushed me, I squeezed you, and Li Enbai laughed and hid in the back with an out-of-the-way look.

So except for the first two times when customers who knew there was a new stall came to visit, an hour passed and not a single order was sold. Yu Ge'er was anxious, but he couldn't open his mouth. Yunli patted his cheeks and took a deep breath.

It was like practicing Qigong, and he sank his Qi into his Dantian and opened his voice, "Beautiful hair accessories, whether it is orchids, plum blossoms or crabapples, we have them all, and there are special zodiac styles. This pretty boy, come and have a look, it's worth the money, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

With the lead, Yu Ge'er also opened his voice to sell. He had a loud voice, and soon attracted a group of boys and girls.

Qing Ge'er and Duoduo hurriedly introduced and recommended to the boys and girls, and finally Xue Ge'er collected the money. The five people divided the work and cooperated tacitly. They felt that the stall was very crowded, and Yunli and Yu Ge'er ran outside the stall to shout.

Because they didn't bring much this time, they sold out in a short while. Li Enbai also bought five bowls of sweet soybean milk from another stall and shared them among the five people.

Just as they took turns to rest and drink sweet soybean milk and praise each other, a questioning male voice came over, "Li Ge'er?"

The six people's attention was drawn to that place. A man dressed in a green gown and dressed like a scholar looked at Yunli with disapproval. When he saw Yunli looking at him, he immediately said, "Brother Li, why don't you stay at home and study needlework? Instead, you show up here. How can you be so arrogant?"

Yunli quietly clenched her fists and glared at the man fiercely, "What the hell is it to you?!"

"You!" The man was so angry, "Come back with me, I have to have a good talk with Uncle Yun today, how did you learn these rules?!"

Li Enbai stood directly between Yunli and the man, "This... brother, my brother is a little boy, you are a man, you should know how to abide by the rules."

Qing Ge'er also ran outside the stall and hugged Yunli, "Mr. Chen, you still have the face to come to pears? You are a heartless man, bah!"

Yu Ge'er rolled up his sleeves, as if he wanted to fight with the man surnamed Chen, "Chen Gousheng, you dare to show up?!"

Duoduo also looked at him coldly, glared at him, and cursed, "Chen Gousheng, you ungrateful wolf!"

Xue Ge'er didn't curse, but his eyes looking at the man surnamed Chen were also full of hostility.

Seeing their reactions, coupled with Yunli's pretending to be strong and aggressive, Li Enbai narrowed his eyes and looked at the scholar, "So it's you, Chen, Gou, Sheng."

He read the man's nickname, insulting the scholar with real feelings, thinking about how to teach this person a lesson.

The scholar was furious. Ever since he passed the examination for Tongsheng, he did not allow anyone to call him by his nickname. When he passed the examination for Xiucai, everyone complimented him. Who would still remember that he had such an unbearable nickname? The talkative boy Pianqing shouted out!

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am a scholar, my full name is Chen Yingcai, and my courtesy name is Zimei." When he said he was a scholar, people around him gasped and their eyes on him changed.

Li Enbai was sensitive to the change in the attitude of the people around him, and immediately changed his words, "So it's Brother Chen Yingcai, I've heard of your name for a long time, but there are only boys and girls here, even if you are a scholar, it's not good to gather here, right?"

"You!" Chen Yingcai seemed to have just noticed him, "Who are you?" "I'm an

unknown person, not worth your knowing, Yunhe is my sworn brother, he went to buy things, and asked me to guard here, don't let our brothers be frivolous by ignorant men, so I just offended a lot, I hope Brother Chen doesn't mind."

Li Enbai gestured to Yunli and others, but it was a pity that Yunli and Qingge'er were all paying attention to Chen Yingcai, only Xuege'er saw it and thought a little. There

were already many people in the market, and soon some more people came up, Li Enbai was a little anxious...
