Chapter 040: Lucky Cat
Although Mulan is different from her peers in the village, she is a female doll's house, where is there anyone who doesn't like to be pretty at this age? Xiugu originally wanted to embroider flowers and tinker with a few gadgets when she bought those colored thread beads, but she didn't expect her to start a business.

One is angry that she used her own money to make money, but she kept it a secret, and the other is that she was angry that she still hid the money she made, not to mention taking it out to supplement her family. The more I thought about it, the more unhappy I became, and the sneering on my lips didn't count, and I went to her house to rummage around while she wasn't there.
Mulan knows Aunt Xiu very well, and she hides things properly, so she won't ask her to turn them out.
Xiu Gu turned over a few times and didn't get it, and became more and more convinced that Mulan had no conscience, and she was beaten for several days.
No matter how she made a fuss, Mulan just ignored it, what to do or what to do. When I go to sea, I bring things to the ship, and when I have free time, I do it for a while, and when I do it, I take it to the market and sell it.
Da Chun has always felt guilty because he was not strict in his mouth and caused trouble for Mulan. He couldn't do such delicate work as weaving and wearing, so he took advantage of the gap to help grind the shells, drill holes, and make up for it a little.
Since inquiring about Da Chun about Wangcai's intrusion into the mist belt, Mulan often ran to Xu Ji Buzhuang from one reason or another. She knew that Wangcai would not easily tell her how to enter and exit the mist belt, so she could only have a good relationship first, and then slowly talk.
Every time she goes back, she doesn't go empty-handed, either giving Wangcai two taels of wine, or leaving a gadget for Yuncui, or buying a candy noodle for her child. Wangcai and Yuncui like her, Fuwa and her sister Xuewa are also familiar with her, as long as she goes to Buzhuang, they follow her like a little tail.
Yuncui is skillful, not only can cut clothes, but also has a set of beaded flowers. Mulan humbly asked her for advice a few times, and the manual work became more and more exquisite.
Busy and busy, the days fly by, and in a blink of an eye, it is winter.
Mulan followed the collection for more than ten rounds, and sold baskets and baskets of things. Twenty at one time, thirty at one time, add up to a lot, and when you sum it up, you have earned more than 500 copper plates.
The villages and towns by the sea are cheap, and 500 copper plates are considered a lot of wealth. But if you want to hire a boat, buy a house, buy land, and settle down, this idea is still far from the money. According to this method, don't say that you will not be able to return to Shouzhen Island in three or five years, ten years and eight years.
No matter what era it is, women's money is the best to earn, and this path is right. Small profits and quick sales are safe, but it takes a long stream of water, and she doesn't have so much time to waste over the years. If you want to make a lot of money in a short period of time, you can only raise the grade of things and expand your business to the upper class.
This is easier said than done.
First of all, it needs capital, and it is a large amount of capital.
She inquired in the bazaar, and the slightly better beads were sold for a dozen pieces, and a dozen could be bought for a hundred dollars. Gold and silver threads are even more luxurious, and a few hundred dollars a shuttle is considered cheap.
Secondly, you need a way.
Don't look at the small size of Sanshui Town, there are many rules in the business street wells, and there is a person from all walks of life. It's not that you want to do any line of business, you can do it with just a shop and spend some money, you need to get the approval of the leader.
It's just a small profit, and it's generally not cared about. If a slightly larger business does not approve and rushes to the business of its peers, there will be no good fruit to eat.
Wangcai had suffered here when he opened Buzhuang, if it weren't for Yun Cui's father having some prestige in the town, and deliberately hiring him as a son-in-law to help him maneuver around, he wouldn't be able to do it today.
Mulan didn't want to open a shop, she considered finding a shop to cooperate with, receiving her finished products, and providing better raw materials.
She had been thinking about this idea in her heart, and she had asked Wangcai and Yuncui about it, and they didn't have any access to jewelry stores and rouge shops, so they couldn't help her in this regard.
She also bought extravagant pen and paper, sketched a few patterns that she thought were novel, and showed them to a few jewelry shops, only to touch her nose with ashes.
It's not that she hasn't thought about doing something else, but it's a pity that she is not an all-round genius, only some talent in sports, and very few can be used in other aspects, which are not enough as a means to make a living and get rich.
There are also people in the fishing village who make a living by diving and fishing, but they are all men. She firmly remembered the advice of Zhang and others, and when she got to land, she should be cautious, clean and self-loving, and try to avoid causing trouble.
Big money can't be earned for a while, and a small amount of thirty or twenty is also money, of course, you can't give it up, so you still follow Dachun to the sea to catch the market.
The weather became colder, things were not easy to perish, and the people of the fishing village also changed the rule of going to sea every other day, and went to the deeper sea in groups of three or five, and caught a lot of fish for preparation. It is often a trip back to the sea, catching up with the market for two or three days or even four or five days in a row.
There are more times to catch the market, and the speed of selling things is also faster, Mulan only has one person and two hands, where can she keep up? She wants to make money with this craft, and she can't cut off her own way and reduce the quality for the sake of quantity. I set aside a day or two, stayed at home to concentrate on knotting and wearing flowers, and then took the goods to the market to sell.
She followed back, but Da Chun and Er Donkey didn't feel it yet, and it was only when she changed her habits that she realized the difference. As long as she is there, the fish they carry will sell very quickly, and they will be sold out in seven or eight out of ten times. If she didn't follow, the fish would sell very slowly, and sometimes she would squat on the market for a day, and she couldn't even sell half a basket.
Mulan didn't believe it at first when she heard the second donkey say this, but she deliberately tried it a few times, and was surprised to find that it was really the case.
She did have a good idea for the first time, and she came out a few times after that, but in practice it was impractical and inapplicable. Except for the occasional help to shout and drink, she didn't do anything, how did she become the cat that beckoned wealth?
Thinking of the figure that flashed on the second floor of the restaurant, his mind moved, and he quickly threw away this ridiculous idea.
She was born on the island, she grew up in isolation, she had nothing to do with the people on the land, and she had not done anything worthy of the gratitude of others since she came here, who would go out of her way to help her day after day?
The second donkey doesn't think as much as her, and stubbornly believes that she is a lucky star who attracts wealth and treasure, and since then, he has to pull her up regardless of every time he goes to the market.
Xinghua got along well with Mulan, because she became closer to Mulan because of this. As long as Mulan is in the village, she will run to Dachun's house three or five times a day, holding Mulan's hand, and praising her as if there is nothing in the sky or in the earth, "Ouch, look, this little appearance is like the newly blooming flower bones;
If it weren't for the fact that Changgui was young and incommensurate with you, I would have immediately prepared a bride price, found a matchmaker, and set you as my daughter-in-law. In the future, if any family marries such a blessed and capable person as you, there will be green smoke on the ancestral grave!"
Xinghua praised again and again, and Xiugu also listened to it again and again. At first, I pouted and dismissed, but after listening to it a lot, I couldn't help but think about it.
Mulan is five or six years old behind Changgui, but only three years old from Shanzi. As the saying goes, wouldn't it be good for a female junior to hold gold bricks and be a daughter-in-law to Shanzi?
