"You girl, it's so troublesome to be a head flower, you just don't want to be a head flower."
"Grandpa, this is not good, look at me, you can earn a few hundred wen in three days, it is a fool not to make money, and my brother and younger brother want to study, they want to buy pen, ink and paper, I want to make money to buy pen and ink for my brother?"
"Uncle Yang, I look at this, why don't I go and talk to Zhou Lizheng, Xiao Yun teaches the village, it's a good thing for girls to make money, the big house next to the ancestral hall has been useless for many years, let everyone help clean it up when the time comes, and it's okay for the children to use, anyway, the big house is empty and empty." Uncle Li took the initiative to take on this task. Uncle Li loves Yang Yun very much, and has always treated her like a daughter, Yang Yun's request, he agrees with Yang Yun's ideas faster than his grandfather every time. In fact, he also hopes for multiple daughters in his heart.
"Let's go together, go home and marinate the salted eggs in a while, and go talk to Li Zheng in the afternoon." Grandpa agreed to go to Zhou Lizheng with Uncle Li.
"Grandpa, Uncle Li, you are so good, when you make money, I will make something delicious for you to eat." Yang Yun happily took her grandfather's hand and shook it several times. It's over, it's infected by Chun'er.
"Okay, I'll just wait for Xiao Yun's food." Uncle Li heard Yang Yun say that he wanted to make something delicious, and he smiled happily on the side, who didn't know that what Yang Yun made was delicious.
"Alright, go aside, I'm dizzy." Grandpa disgusted and let Yang Yun go.
"Hey, hey!" Yang Yun is so excited.
When Yang Yun and the others returned home, they pickled the eggs. In the afternoon, Grandpa and Uncle Li brought something and went to Zhou Lizheng to discuss borrowing the big house next to the ancestral hall.
Yang Yun didn't know what his grandfather told Zhou Lizheng, anyway, Zhou Li agreed, and said that he would ask the people in the village to clean it up, and it would be used in a few days.
"Grandpa, you didn't ask anything that week, did you?"
"No, he heard from us, you want to teach the girls in the village to make money by making flowers, Zhou Li is saying that this is a good thing, and he didn't ask much about the rest."
"That's good, grandpa can help me make two bamboo shelves, and I can put things when the time comes."
"Tell me what you're going to do." Yang Yun told her grandfather about the bamboo frame she wanted. Yang Yun wants to make 2 3-layer shelves, and some head flowers can be placed in the future, and some head flowers can be made and cannot be squeezed together, otherwise it is easy to deform.
Uncle Li helped his grandfather, and the two of them made a bamboo shelf in the yard, and Yang Yun went back to the house, found pen and ink, and wrote out all the things needed to make hair flowers. You don't need to buy scissors, let every girl who comes to make a head flower bring it from home, and you have to buy the needlework and thread, and you have to choose all the colors.
Zhou Wan usually has embroidery, you can ask her where she is, and buy a relatively complete set of needles and threads. I also need a big table, if I can get a long table like modern, it would be good, but that big house, which used to be a place for the theater troupe to rest, should have a big table, tomorrow week is looking for someone to clean up the big house, Yang Yun wants to find a time, go and see what things can be kept inside.
It is more monotonous to make a head flower alone, and Yang Yun wants to find some beads to inlay on the head flower like a modern one. There are a lot of artificially made beads in modern times, and in ancient times, they were all genuine pearls and agate, Yang Yun naturally couldn't afford them, and I don't know if there is something to replace them. Alas! It's useless to think more, Yang Yun knows very well in her heart that many things are limited by the current conditions, and she doesn't want to do whatever she wants.
After Yang Yun wrote the list, she checked it a few times to confirm that there was no problem, and waited for the next time she went to the town to buy it back, as long as the big house was packed up and the things were all purchased, she could start teaching the girls in the village to make hair flowers. Chun'er, they have also been studying for a few days, and when the time comes, it will be up to them to teach the girls, and Yang Yun also wants Zhou Wan to be the person in charge.
In the past few days, Chun'er and they have learned to make head flowers in Yang's house, and Zhou Wan has learned the fastest, and occasionally they can discuss the style of head flowers with Yang Yun, so Yang Yun plans to let Zhou Wan be the person in charge. Yang Yun is planning to be a hands-off shopkeeper, she just wants to be responsible for designing some new styles, and then teach them to Zhou Wan, and then they will teach others. Yang Yun didn't want to spend too much time managing those girls.
Two shelves, it took grandpa two days to make it, Yang Yun asked grandpa to ask someone to see the day, the family to build a house to raise rabbits, this is already agreed, and to take advantage of the other four acres of sweet potatoes, before the harvest to build the rabbit house. Yang Yun counted in her heart, she had to do a lot of things recently, and she didn't have a day off.
This day is here again, the day when Grandpa and they went to the town to pull eggs, Yang Yun asked Uncle Li and Grandpa to go to the town to order the bricks to be laid in the rabbit house first, and then spend some money to hire someone to send the bricks to Yang's house. The pillars and wood used in the house can be bought directly from the villagers. Yang Yun also handed over the forty head flowers and the drawn barbed wire map to Yang Yong, and asked him to go to the town with his grandfather, hand over the head flowers to Zhou's sister-in-law, and then go to the iron shop to make two barbed wire, and the barbed wire should be used as the window of the rabbit house to prevent theft. Yang Yun took twenty taels of silver from home and gave it to her grandfather to buy something.
Last time, I made 6 taels of silver by selling salted eggs, and this money had to be shared with Uncle Li, Yang Yun put the money separately and did not put it into the Yang family's money. A few days ago, Yang Yun left the 2 taels of silver earned from selling a thousand salted eggs, and Yang Yun left it to Chow Tai Fook. The Yang family deducted eighty taels of silver, and now only six taels of silver can be used, if you build a house with rabbits, you will definitely use eighty taels, and the money in the family is distributed by Yang Yun, and this money will naturally be used. Anyway, grandpa only said that he would not buy land for the time being, but he didn't say that he would not let Yang Yun use eighty taels for other places.
After grandpa and they went to the town, Yang Yun went to the big house next to the ancestral hall, and it happened that some villagers were cleaning up the big house, Yang Yun walked into the house and saw a big table, which was used by the troupe as a dressing table in the past, Yang Yun directly told Li Zheng that she wanted the table, but one of the legs of the table was broken, and it should be repaired first. Li Zheng said that he would find someone to fix the foot of the table, and Li Zheng could help, and Yang Yun was happy.
There are still some chairs or something in the house, but they have to be repaired before they can be used, Li Zheng told Yang Yun that he would find someone to repair them, Yang Yun saw that there was nothing wrong, so he went home first. I haven't bought those things yet, and Yang Yun is not in a hurry, now at home, building a rabbit house is the most important thing, the big house next to the ancestral hall, it will take several days to repair it, the big house has been useless for too many years, the walls are leaking, and the roof is broken in a few places, so it is natural to repair it well.
The money for these repairs, Li Zheng said that the ancestral hall in the village paid for repair, every year in the village, donate incense money to maintain the ancestral hall, plus the landlord of Zhou will also donate money, simply repair a house, the village can still get the money. Anyway, after the big house is repaired, even if Yang Yun and the others don't spend their heads, the big house can be used for other purposes, and they won't waste repair money.
Grandpa, after they went to the town to pull eggs and came back, they pickled the eggs, and today they also pulled a thousand eggs back. Grandpa said that someone would send the bricks tomorrow, and Yang Yong went to order the barbed wire, which took five days to pick up, and the two barbed wire fences cost a total of 600 wen. Yang Yong also spent money on Zhou's sister-in-law's head to Yang Yun, except for the commission, a total of 520 wen. During this time, Yang Yun earned 1,320 wen by making her first flower, which was too easy to come by, but compared with Yang Xuan's set of four treasures in the study, it was still far from the goal, and the cheapest pen and ink cost five taels of silver.
For the sake of her brother and younger brother, Yang Yun said to herself to make money and work hard to make money. Zhou Wan and they still came to Yang's house every morning to learn to make hair flowers, because Yang Yun and Zhou Li Zheng borrowed a big house, and the whole village knew that Yang Yun was going to teach the girls in the village to make hair flowers. As soon as the news spread, everyone was hotly discussed. Yang Yun directly posted a few big characters outside the courtyard, writing that when the big house was repaired, he would start teaching everyone to make hair flowers, and he would not accept anyone's inquiries during this period.
"Chun'er, Xiaowan, tell me how you make a flower in the Yang family." Chun'er and Zhou Wan went to Yang's house every day to learn to make head flowers, and the villagers naturally knew that Yang Yun did not accept inquiries, and every time Chun'er and they left Yang's house, they became the objects of inquiry from the aunts in the village.
"Ladies and aunts, don't ask, if the girls in your family have learned to make hair flowers, after the big house is repaired, you will go to the big house to report. Xiao Yun, said that her family will be very busy, and she really doesn't have time to reply to everyone, anyway, everyone can learn by then, it's just a matter of learning early and late. Zhou Wan put things in order and explained it clearly to the villagers who came to inquire.
"Xiaowan, can you teach my daughter first." The aunts in the village all hope that their children can learn as soon as possible, so that they can spend money as soon as possible. Some aunts go to the town, and naturally know that Chow Tai Fook's grocery store is selling head flowers, and the price is not cheap.
"Auntie, we are still learning, Xiao Yun said that if you haven't learned kung fu, you can't teach others, and if you don't learn things well, you can teach others, which will only make others not learn well. Auntie, don't be anxious, everyone will be able to learn by then, and it won't be too late. Don't look at us every day to learn to make hair flowers, we just learn to do it, and we don't do it to sell it for money. "Zhou Wan is still a little eye-catching, this aunt is so anxious, she wants her daughter to learn to spend money, doesn't she want to do it herself and sell it for money earlier.
Yang Yun told them that all the girls who come to learn to make hair flowers must sign a contract, and no one can make their own hair flowers to sell in private, Yang Yun also told them frankly, the profits of the head flowers, they took the money according to the price Yang Yun gave, and they have already taken half of the money, Yang Yun has to make her own raw materials, and then deduct the commission for Zhou's sister-in-law, Yang Yun herself did not make much money.
