Chapter 167：

In Uncle Li's house, Qin Lingling sat for two hours, first told him about the design of her hand strap, and some of her own ideas, and then persuaded Uncle Li for a while.

Gu Zheng also persuaded a lot from it, and finally made sense of this stubborn old man and was willing to help them with this favor.

When he heard his promise, Qin Lingling thought she had heard her ears wrong, and it took a long time before she asked in astonishment: "Uncle Li, you... are you telling the truth?"

"Could it be that I stayed here for so long and asked you so much, have you been jokes?"

"No, no, no, I'm just a little excited, don't be angry."

"Okay, since I promised you, then I can do it, let's talk, how many of these do I need to get?"

Seeing that Uncle Li had agreed, Qin Lingling felt that everything would be easy to do next.

She asked Uncle Li how much he needed for the price of the beads, and the other party just waved his hand, "You can figure it out, I don't care about the price."

Although Uncle Li said he didn't care, Qin Lingling really didn't care. Instead, she told her previous price.

"Your bead is engraved with craftsmanship and craftsmanship. The price cannot be lowered. I will give you fifty cents." She stretched out her hand and asked five cents, "Uncle Li, do you think this price is acceptable?"

Uncle Li obviously didn't expect that such a bead would be five hairs, and raised his eyebrows and said: "Give me so much, aren't you afraid you can't make money?"

Qin Lingling shook her head, "Actually, I'm afraid you may feel lower."

Uncle Li smiled and said, "Since I promised you, it must be calculated at the market price. I will treat it as a treasure, but the price has to be determined by the market. Then, one two cents will do. It's not a difficult thing. "

Qin Lingling also didn't expect that this stubborn old man would rebuff every word yesterday, so why is he so accommodating today.

Uncle Li also saw the doubt in her eyes and said: "The two cents are neither expensive nor cheap, so keep it first, but you two, this is regarded as a favor to me."

Qin Lingling nodded hurriedly, "Sure, you are willing to do us this favor. We really owe you a favor. As long as you have anything we can help in the future, you can tell us that we will do it for you. "

"Okay, that's it. I'll talk about the others later. I'll get you this bead."

"Row."

After Uncle Li agreed, Qin Lingling told Uncle Li about her next special hand strap plan, hoping that he could produce the finished product as soon as possible.

"In fact, I am also looking forward to the finished product. Although the painting is finished, there is no real finished product. I don't know what it will look like?"

Uncle Li nodded, "Okay, I see."

After talking to Uncle Li, Qin Lingling has nothing to worry about. After explaining it clearly, she also told Uncle Li that she would bring the signed contract with her next time she came.

When Uncle Li heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I don't use that stuff."

After speaking, he was taken aback and asked Qin Lingling directly, "You are not thinking that I will be worried, but you are worried that I will run away?"

Qin Lingling smiled dryly and said: "As long as you know Uncle Li, your craftsmanship is good, and I hope to continue to cooperate with you."

Uncle Li waved his hand, "I can't answer you about this matter, but I'm happy to help you with this matter." Then, he glanced at the fruit on the table and said, "Just treat it as the fruit I brought you. Help."

Seeing that Uncle Li had said so, Qin Lingling didn't insist on saying anything else, and only left with Gu Zheng after saying good things.

"Oh, right."

Just as the two stepped out, Uncle Li suddenly shouted.

The two stopped and saw Uncle Li coming over, holding this wooden bead in his hand, "Give it to you!"

Qin Lingling took it and found that the wooden bead was not the one she had designed? Uncle Li has done it?

Uncle Li didn't conceal it, and said: "This is what I looked at your drawing yesterday. You can engrave it at will. You can take a look. If appropriate, I will follow this."

Qin Lingling nodded when she saw it, "It's appropriate, appropriate, and beautiful."

The other party nodded, "Let's do it!"

After returning, Qin Lingling began to process her custom hand strap, which was the rabbit that Shen Manman said later.

On the wooden beads, there is a rabbit carved on the front and the character blessing on the back. Uncle Li said that he changed the character rabbit to blessing.

At this moment, Shen Manman is playing with it in love. The rope is made of red rope. The two places where the knot is tied are also dotted with two small round wooden beads. The round wooden beads are materials that Qin Lingling got from the market, which is convenient. Very, but carving a rabbit requires Uncle Li's craftsmanship.

Watching Shen Manman playing, Qin Lingling smiled and asked, "You want to make a black one, do you want to give it to others?"

As for who that person is, Shen Manman will know better than her.

Li Zhi and Zhong Aidi also heard them, and looked at her curiously, "Yes, this is a black one for humans, right?"

Shen Manman blushed when he was said, and pushed them, "I won't tell you anymore." She asked Qin Lingling, "How long can I make this one? Can the word "Fu" at the back be changed to other characters?"

Qin Lingling nodded, "Of course it can be changed, and it can be changed if there is a price."

Originally, she didn’t plan to let Uncle Li make it that complicated. There is a little rabbit pattern, which is already very beautiful. Even if you don’t need to engrave on the back, it’s okay to do it, but if you think about it carefully, if you engrave it, it will make people feel more beautiful. At the same time, it can also meet people's requirements, especially for bracelets like Shen Manman that can get a couple's rope to show their identity and name.

So on the weekend, Qin Lingling took her finished bracelet to find Uncle Li.

In just five days, Uncle Li had carved many wooden beads for Qin Lingling, each one seemed to be endowed with a soul, and the rabbit inside was vivid.

Not only that, Uncle Li also engraved other effective beads and said, "When I am idle, I also engraved other effective beads. There are rabbits and dragons, horses and rats. Look, can you?"

Qin Lingling didn't expect to carve these animals, but when she heard Uncle Li's words, her thoughts were suddenly opened.

Yes, you can engrave rabbits, but you can also engrave other things, just like these zodiac signs. Everyone will want to buy different hand straps according to their own zodiac signs, similar to the so-called customization of later generations.

However, even though this idea was opened up, only Uncle Li was the only one to carve beads, and Qin Lingling didn't dare to arrange too many at once, so he started the Mid-Autumn Festival special reward event first.

She brought back hundreds of beads carved by Uncle Li, and directly asked Li Fang to weave the hand rope according to her own arrangement.

Li Fang lived up to her high expectations, with a hundred beads and a total of one hundred hand straps.

For the remaining eleven Chinese zodiac signs, there are other extra beads, and Qin Lingling made other styles.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Lingling’s Mid-Autumn Festival gave back to her regular customers, saying that there are special items for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone will wait and see.

Not many people know about Qin Lingling's style, except for the three people in her quarters quarters dormitory with Gu Zheng, only the three of Li Fang's family know about it.

Everyone was curious, and they came over to inquire one by one, but Qin Lingling told a few people who knew it early in the morning, and asked them not to disclose it first, only that this time it was a special item related to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Moreover, when she went to see Uncle Li this week, she even asked him to engrave some mooncake styles, which made the bracelet look special.

Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Lingling's first batch of hand straps was finally released. It was said that it was a special Mid-Autumn Festival. In fact, it was subdivided, but there were three models.

One style has only one jade rabbit bead, and the other style is based on jade rabbit beads, with two mooncake styles added on it, and the third one is Sange Yutu beads.

The prices of the three styles vary. The price of a jade rabbit bead is cheaper, one yuan, one mooncake style, and the third one is two yuan. This is all divided from the difficulty of production.

The first style is relatively cheap, but it will not be as favorable as the third style. After all, one is one bead and the other is three beads, and moon cakes are closer to some Mid-Autumn Festivals.

There are three styles, limited specials, and only 80 pieces each.

Although the third one is more expensive, because the quantity and quality are in front of you, and it is of great significance, Qin Lingling's hand rope has just been publicized, and many people have come to buy it.

Because I made a couple's black pair with the red one, many people bought it, especially those who had an object. It seemed to symbolize their love, and many people came to know about the order after hearing the news. .

By the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Lingling's three models were almost sold. When she was about to go back, the remaining few were picked up by someone behind.

When she left the school, her pockets were full of money, and some people even came to ask, Qin Lingling was out of stock, so she could only ask them to come again next time, except for the special Mid-Autumn Festival, she will come back in the future. Quit other styles, such as the Chinese zodiac, let them wait, there will be more different styles of hand straps.

Although Qin Lingling said so, many people were still a little disappointed, "I thought about buying it from you after school, but I didn't expect it to be gone so soon."

Qin Lingling was also helpless. In order to catch up with this special Mid-Autumn Festival, she had been busy, and it was not easy for Uncle Li to be busy with so many beads alone.

All she could do was to say sorry, then asked the other party's request, remembered the other party's class and name, and then said: "Next time there are new models, I will directly reserve them for you. What do you think?"

"Well, then, will you really have a zodiac model next time? If so, can you make one for me, just make a piglet, and engrave a ring on the back, okay?"

Qin Lingling nodded, noted her needs, and said: "This one won't be too late. I will deliver it to your class personally.

The other party probably didn't expect that Qin Lingling was so dedicated, and said gratefully: "Okay, then I'll wait."

"it is good."

Back home, Gu Zheng has not yet returned.

Before the holidays, Gu Zheng was actually more busy, and Qin Lingling is used to it now, so she took the food she bought directly to the kitchen to cook.

When Gu Zheng came back, she was still cooking.

With a box of mooncakes in his hand, Gu Zheng shouted at the figure in the house: "Today, the unit gave us a box of mooncakes."

Qin Lingling stretched her head out of the kitchen and said, "What moon cake?"

Gu Zheng said: "Wuren char siu."

Qin Lingling: "..."

As Gu Zheng said, he put down another box of moon cakes, "I also bought a box of lotus seed paste with two egg yolks."

Gu Zheng knew that Qin Lingling didn't like to eat five-ren barbecued pork. This was what she had said before. She was suspicious of the mooncakes with so many messy things in it, and she always felt that it was not eaten by normal people. Gu Zheng asked him at that time, what would he like to eat? Qin Lingling said that she wanted to eat yellow lotus seed paste.

So when he knew that the company had sent five-ren char siu moon cakes, he bought a box of lotus seed paste by the way, specially for his wife.

Qin Lingling didn't expect that he would remember what she said, so she couldn't help but said: "You still remember what I said!"

Gu Zheng nodded, walked forward, hugged her, "I remember what you said."

"Really?" Qin Lingling doubted.

"Well. You can test me if you don't believe me?"

Qin Lingling didn't test him because she believed what Gu Zheng said.

The two of them hugged him, and Qin Lingling pushed him away and said, "Go and wash your hands. We can have dinner later. Let's eat moon cakes and go out to enjoy the moon later."

"okay."

Qin Lingling cooks everyday meals. Since her life is getting better, Qin Lingling has never deprived herself of food. She should eat and drink. As long as she is within her abilities, she should let herself live a little better. Because no one knows how far one is in the future, he should enjoy the present when he is capable.

After eating enough, Gu Zheng still washes the dishes. This is their family's usual practice.

Qin Lingling was sitting on the sofa, waiting for Gu Zheng to wash the dishes, she was already peeling the grapefruit.

When Gu Zheng came back with the mooncakes, he brought back two grapefruits along the way. At the same time, Qin Lingling also bought grapes and chestnuts.

Seeing her peeling grapefruit, Gu Zheng asked again, "Would you like some grapes?"

"OK!"

"Don't worship the moon?" Gu Zheng asked again.

In the countryside, every household would not long after dinner on the Mid-Autumn Festival, set up a table in the yard, put moon cakes, grapefruit, grapes, etc., worship the moon, and after the moon, put a bunch of firecrackers on it. .

This is not superstition, but a yearning for future life.

Seeing this, Qin Lingling nodded again, "Then let's worship the moon too!"

When she was in the countryside, she had never worshipped the moon alone, and Gu Dashun and the others didn't like to do these things, so they didn't do it.

Now that Gu Zheng said so, Qin Lingling quickly and diligently peeled the grapefruit, and then went to take the plate and set it up.

Gu Zheng put the table of Eight Immortals outside, and when the moon came out, he could worship the moon.

The moon on Mid-Autumn Festival every year is not as early as the moon on the fifteenth of other months. On the contrary, it usually doesn’t come out until almost eight o’clock. It is probably because the moon on this day is so precious, so the moon also wants to be late. One point appearance.

In previous years, those who worshipped the moon were most afraid of the moon being covered by the clouds. This year was lucky. The two of them had just finished their work. The outer moon had already appeared. The big round moon was hanging in the sky, illuminating the city. .

The two placed fruits and moon cakes, and then they followed the others, worshipping the moon and praying for future safety.

After a while, Qin Lingling asked Gu Zheng, "Is it all right now?"

In fact, Gu Zheng hadn't worshipped before. This was the first time he saw it. He responded, "Well, it should be all right. It's not a difficult thing."

"Um."

After worshiping the moon, the table was withdrawn, so Qin Lingling could cut moon cakes and eat grapefruit with peace of mind.

"Shall we go for a walk?" Qin Lingling asked while eating the juicy and sweet grapefruit.

Gu Zheng nodded, "Let's walk, walk along the river bank, the scenery is good."

"it is good."

The two of them didn't bring anything, closed the door, and walked directly towards the river bank holding hands.

I saw on both sides of the river bank where there were not many people in the past, but today there are many people who are watching the moon, and they are all pairs.

In this way, the two holding hands are even more well-deserved.

Looking at the people in front who wanted to lead because there were too many people and didn't dare to lead, Qin Lingling couldn't help asking Gu Zheng, "You said, are they just looking at the target?"

Gu Zheng had no intention of caring about others, because in his eyes, only his own wife.

Qin Lingling is very excited today, maybe because this festival was originally a joy, and she recently made a fortune because of the special Mid-Autumn Festival of the hand strap, so she feels better.

When asked by his wife, Gu Zheng looked at the person in front who wanted to hold hands but did not dare to hold hands. After hesitating, he said, "Maybe! I don't know." After all, he hadn't dealt with anyone before.

Qin Lingling knew that he still hadn't said a word in his heart, and smiled: "Of course you don't know, you have to know, I will clean up you tonight."

After all, Gu Zheng had always insisted that she had never been in a relationship before. If she suddenly talked about it like a driver now, she would definitely be mad at him.

Gu Zheng smiled helplessly, "So now you believe that I am innocent?"

"I believe it, but I still have to test you again."

"Row"
