Chapter 39 Man Depends on His Clothing

"How can I let others know, I can't go around pulling people to say that. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info still look down on our countryside. Qi still has some inferiority complex. Because there were also women in the town whose family background was not as good as their own, she raised her chin in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, and the look in her eyes was with a sense of superiority. No matter how stupid the Qi family is, they know what people mean.

"Mom, don't say that people look down on the countrymen. Isn't it normal to look down on you? You don't look down on the countrymen as sons-in-law now, and you don't even look down on the poorer people in the town. Therefore, it is not surprising that people can't look down on my sister for the time being. They all thought her sister was a country girl. Well, let's go back and tear a few more pieces of cloth from the cloth shop on the street. Tell my sister to make two clothes for each person in the house. Invite a few more eloquent women to come to my house, and then ask my sister to cook a table of good food for them. Or just ask a couple of matchmakers. Otherwise, let's invite a few more times, isn't it normal for friends and neighbors to come to the house to play? In this way, at least people know that my sister is good at needlework and cooking, and my sister is not allowed to come out to greet people when people come. If someone asks something, you can say a few more words, my girl has also read a few books, and she can also read the store to settle accounts and do business. Isn't that enough. Lin Yujuan gave an idea, as for the effect, I have to try it to know. Besides, cannibalism has a short mouth, so can't you let your sister get a few words of praise with her sister's craftsmanship?

"Well, there's a point in what you're saying. It's just that I'm going to spend some more money again, and I've always felt like I don't have enough money to spend lately. There is your brother behind your sister, and I originally thought that adults would save money on weekdays to make two new clothes. "The Qi family is a little distressed about the money again, and it's no wonder that the money has been spent out recently, and the family's money is not much.

"Mom, don't worry about money. When you get to town, you always have to make a few nice clothes to meet people. Don't blame other people's forces, others can't see whether you are good or not, but ordinary people can see if your clothes are good-looking. You want to find a wealthier in-laws, but you can't dress so shabby. It's better to marry a daughter in the future, and marry a daughter-in-law in front of people. Lin Yujuan told Qi that these face projects still need to be done.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Qi himself also thought that if a certain in-law stood in front of him in the future, he would still be dressed in old cotton clothes, and he would have no momentum at all.

"Mom, how much silver do you have in the house? Isn't it time to buy some jewelry for my sister, and you don't have a single one on you? Since you want people to say good things, you have to pay for it. Why don't you buy the dowry jewelry for your sister first, and you can also buy two pieces. ”

"Xiaojuan, don't talk about it, there's really not much silver. Do the math yourself, it cost you one hundred and fifty taels to buy a house, and it cost four or five taels to paint the walls and partitions of the shop at home. Then your father took another twenty taels to the jade buckle to make a dowry for your sister. It also cost more than a tael to buy pigs. These are all big tents, and I don't even count the bits and pieces of the family. There is a lot of money left in the house, and it is almost the same to buy two sets of clothes. If you buy gold and silver jewelry, you won't have a penny left at home. Qi Shi said with a pain in his face.

"Well, Mom, I know. Let's go back in the evening and discuss it with the family. "There's no money, Lin Yujuan has no choice, let's think of a way slowly.

"Mom, I can only harvest lettuce now. Other leafy vegetables are not good for making kimchi, but unfortunately we don't have bamboo here, otherwise we can also make pickled bamboo shoots. "There are too few varieties that can be sold, so sauerkraut and pickled peppers can always be supplied. The regular buyers are the larger restaurants in the town. Qintong is on the edge of the Taidong River, and the Taidong River is also the main channel for the salt works in Dongtai to transport salt to Taizhou Xiba for transshipment to the whole country. There were many merchant ships coming and going, and many of the merchant owners who frequented this waterway liked to eat and rest in the town, and also sold some cotton, grain, and even bricks and tiles produced here. If it weren't for this big river, it is estimated that the sales of my family's kimchi would not be as good as it is now. Thinking of this, Lin Yujuan asked Lin Guilu:

"Dad, you go to the restaurant every day to deliver food, did the boss say who everyone likes to eat?"

"Most of them are passing merchants, and the locals don't go to restaurants to eat if they have nothing to do. Sauerkraut fish is already famous in Qintong and cannot be eaten elsewhere. Therefore, the merchants who have eaten here will order this dish every time they pass by. I often find merchants from other places who want to buy my recipes. I thought, I can't sell it for much money, but our family has only made some money from this in the past few years. You can't sell your job. Lin Guilu was right, Lin Yujuan thought the same way. But now she feels that the money she makes is not enough to spend, and there are few places to spend money that she can save before. In the future, the marriage of the four sisters and brothers of the Lin family will have to spend money, and it is best to have money to invest in something. Shops, fields, or brick kilns are all OK, although you can't meet the right one if you don't have money, but you can't buy it if you have the right industry. Thinking of this, Lin Yujuan said to Lin Guilu again:

"Dad, wait for the next time a merchant asks about this, don't refuse. Ask him where he is first, and if the accent is far away from us, it can be discussed. It has to be sold more expensively, and it can be done when you have silver to buy shops and land. It's a pity that the brick kiln is not easy to meet, Dad, is it more profitable to burn the kiln? ”

"Of course, you see a village near the big river, there are not many kilns. Most of the people in the countryside live on kilns. Your uncle and uncle's family all make bricks and sell them to the kiln, and there are many middle-aged people who pick bricks and carry water on the kiln like me. After it was burned, some people bought bricks and sold them in other places. This kiln feeds a lot of people. I estimate that a kiln can earn 180 taels a year. ”

"So much? Then there is a chance that our family will also buy a kiln. "Lin Yujuan is about to let so much silver smash her stun.

"It's so light, you think it's that simple to buy a kiln?" Lin Guilu looked at his girl's heart and said, after all, she is still a little girl, although she is smart on weekdays, she doesn't necessarily understand everything. So he asked, "How much silver do you think it will cost to buy a kiln?" ”

"How much silver? It's really hard for me, but I think the kiln is so big, and no matter how expensive it is, it's the price of one or two houses in the countryside. It's all made of bricks, and don't put on the beams and tiles. "There are several kilns on the waterway from the old house in the countryside to the town, and Lin Yujuan doesn't know how many times she has seen it on the waterway back and forth.
