    "In that case, I'll just listen to San Niang, but when the weather warms up, I'll make a fuss and you can't stop."

    "In the middle, even if you don't paste the interwoven fabric, you still have to get some paste. For the white border, you have to paste the cut layers of interwoven fabric together, and press them on the kang overnight, and then you can start putting on the soles tomorrow."

    "Is there so much knowledge in making shoes?"

    "What kind of knowledge is this? You can have long hands. Let's cut out the shape of the soles of the shoes first, and you first make a pair of cotton shoes, two pairs of single shoes. If there is black striped flannelette, then the cotton shoes you make are the best.  nice."

    "Third Mother, I have it in my mother's cupboard. I'll go get it. Do you like it?" Zhang Hongmei took out the corduroy from the cupboard and handed it to Li Cuihua.

    "Such a large piece can make five pairs of shoes, let's make corduroy uppers."

    "Me, I can do anything."

    "I'll take you to cook the batter first, let's cook it with white flour, it's stickier than stick flour. You can't use a big pot to make the batter. Even if you use a big pot for this little stuff, it won't be sticky enough. Let's gather it outside  Build a fire, put two stones on it to boil the horse ladle. Where is your horse ladle?"

    "San Niang, is the horse spoon the big iron spoon used to feed the livestock? I don't have one at home. I have a small iron pot at home, will that work?"

    "Medium, that one will be medium. Go scoop up a small bowl of noodles, and I'll stack stones to make a fire. By the way, take out the iron pot first and clean it."

    "Then I'll go wash the pot, is a scoop of cold water enough?"

    "Too much, one scoop is enough for the soles, and the soles and uppers of three pairs of shoes almost need this batter."

    The two went their separate ways.

    "The fire for the red plum batter should not be too high. Under the warm water, it must be stirred constantly, so as not to stick to the bottom. When it bubbles, quickly take it down, put it in a large bowl and let it cool."

    Li Cuihua helped Zhang Hongmei clean the iron pot, shoveled the burnt ashes and threw them on the snow in the vegetable bed, and moved the stones to the corner of the wall to avoid getting in the way.

    When the two entered the room, Li Cuihua first measured the length of Zhang Hongmei's feet, and then took out the folded shoes from his pocket.  "I'll cut out the soles of the shoes on the newspaper first, and you'll have to use them after you save them. There are two kinds of shoe uppers, one is cotton shoes and the other is single shoes. By the way, Hongmei, what do you want?  What kind of cotton shoes? Are they high-top ones with shoelaces or cotton shoe baskets? Cotton shoe baskets are easy to make, but the ones with shoelaces can¡¯t be inflated, so they have to be sewn, which is too expensive.¡±

    "Third Mother, I want to tie my shoelaces, why can't I hit my eyes?"

    "In the past, people from the village came to cheer us up. This heavy snow day has not come for two months. I guess if we come, we will have to wait until after the spring planting."

    "Then our mother and I will make it bigger, and we won't wear it this year. When the shoe repairer opens a long time ago, we will ask him to beat him. If there is something to wear in winter, we will be hit. Anyway, I have something to wear now."

    "Yezhong, let's make bigger ones. But you can leave out the soles of the cotton shoes first. Just make the face first. Wait until the holes are made before adding the soles. Then you can make three pairs of single shoes  Yes. There are also two styles of single shoes, the one with the laces at the mouth, and the one with the square mouth. Girls usually make the one with the mouth, which looks good. The shoe shell with the mouth is easy to get soil, and the shoe shell is square.  tight."

    "Then make a pair of open-mouthed ones, two double-mouthed ones. I have to go to the ground, and keep the open-mouthed ones at home."

    "Come on, let's start making it." Li Cuihua put the shape of the upper of the cotton shoe she brought on the interwoven fabric and started cutting.  After cutting, paste the above picture and stick it inside the corduroy.  Then I cut the uppers of the side-toe shoes and glued them on after cutting them. Finally, I cut the uppers of the two-sided shoes and glued them on.  "The red plums have to be left for a while, and when they are half dry, they are cut along the sides. Single shoes have to be glued with a layer of interwoven fabric, and the cotton shoes are like this.  .The back of the cotton shoes is also made, and when the time comes, it will be directly on the center.¡±

    Zhang Hongmei cut it out by hand, and then glued a layer of fabric on each upper, and finally glued a layer of lining.  After everything is done, put it flat on the kang, press the board on it, and wait for it to dry and shape.

    Li Cuihua asked Zhang Hongmei to sew cotton on the lining of the cotton shoes and put them aside.

    After everything was done, I started cutting the soles.  This is a lot of work. First, glue the two layers of fabric together, and then press it to shape it. Each sole needs six layers, so that it is comfortable and does not hurt your feet.  When it is a little set, sew the white cloth strips around the edge of the sole, so that the white edge is exposed outside.

    Zhang Hongmei sighed in her heart, this pair of shoes is such a trouble.

    Li Cuihua saw that Zhang Hongmei was doing well and looked at the sky outside, "Hongmei, you can do the rest yourself. I'll go back today for a while. Tomorrow, these weavings will be finalized. Let's put them together again. Remember everything."  It has to be pressed, or the upper will not be well-proportioned, and the sole will be too.?Generally too big to accommodate.  "

    "Now that you know San Niang, go get busy. I'm almost ready too. I'll finish this work in a while."

    "Remember not to put the kang head on, it will become brittle if it is too hot, and you won't be able to wear it."

    "Okay, this is all about learning."

    "You don't need to go to the ground, I'll go back now."

    "It's okay, I have to send my third mother off, what if I don't care about me next time?"

    "Slick girl." Li Cuihua pointed at Zhang Hongmei, and went out with a smile.

    Zhang Hongmei followed behind, "Third Mother, go slowly, I'll just plug in the door and go to work."

    "Middle, go back, take your time, you will always wear the shoes you made yourself." Li Cuihua turned and walked home, but felt very uncomfortable. Other people's children look good everywhere, but her own dead girl  Everything is troublesome, it's so big, and I still don't understand it all day long, no wonder the head is angry.  You can see that children with no father or mother have chosen a family to live in, and they are sensible and caring.  Cough, I don't know if the master's anger has subsided?

    Zhang Hongmei didn't know Li Cuihua's troubles, and she was lying in the space in a daze.  I used to be obsessed with studying and had no life skills, but now I know that there are tricks for everything, and it is not as simple as I imagined.  I almost stumped myself to make a shoe.  There is no way, I have to do it.  I took all the materials into the space, sat on the floor of the bedroom and started to dry, the room outside was too dark, it was troublesome.  I have to finish everything today, or if the weather gets warmer and I have no shoes to wear, I can't wear sneakers, right?  That's too eye-catching.

    When Zhang Hongmei finally finished, she looked at the semi-finished products on the ground and was quite proud.  I am not too stupid.  In a few days, I will be able to wear the shoes I made myself, which is very beautiful just thinking about it.

    Put all the finished work on the kang, and if I don't burn the fire today, Zhang Hongmei can always find excuses for being lazy.  It feels like how can I live so fast day by day.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
