On this day, Lin Guilu came home and brought back all the cotton threads that had been dyed and colored for Lin Yujuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Naturally, it was the money he paid, and Lin Yujuan thanked happily. She saw that the color difference of the cotton thread was not too big, and the color was quite correct, and she was quite satisfied. Take advantage of the good sun, hang them in the yard and then hang them to dry. In the afternoon, I collected the cotton thread and wound it into a ball of thread with my sister Xiujuan for later use. After the housework at home was busy, Lin Yujuan began to teach Qi and Lin Xiujuan to learn to knit gloves. It's not a difficult thing to knit gloves in the first place. After studying like this for an afternoon, both mother and daughter will be able to do it. So Lin Guilu took his two sons to do everything he did to buy and sell kimchi on the street. The mother and daughter were concentrating on knitting gloves, socks and other small pieces at home. The gloves are finger-baring and easy and fast to knit. The three of them also weaved six or seven pairs in two or three days. The socks are afraid that there are not too many people who need them, so they only knit two pairs. I can't sell it for my family.

By this time, it was already winter, and the weather was already cold. The padded jacket was also put on. own boat, with the help of Old Man Lin. The partition of the middle cabin was laid, and Lin Guilu had already made a shed with reeds. It is also pressed on the cabin of the ship, and the two sides are fixed to protect it from the wind and rain. Since then, it has been more convenient to get out by boat. Lin Yujuan thought about it, although she had knitted a few pairs of gloves, her grandparents always had to send two pairs over. I don't have a family member except my younger brother now. handed over a few pairs of gloves and socks to Lin Yukou and asked him to sell them. I continued to knit gloves at home with my mother and sister. And there are men in the family, and it's not good to run out all day long. The key is that it's cold, although there are small sheds on the ship, it's still a lot colder than at home. Hey, don't want to go out.

"Brother, you will go out into the street with your father's boat. This glove will look at the sales pitches of the shopkeepers and shopkeepers in the shop. It always takes a little money to be willing to spend it. If not, ask Dad to take you around the academy by boat. In this winter, I think it's not good for those students to wear cotton gloves when they are grinding ink and writing. By the way, let's see which one is willing to buy our pickles and sell them together. "Lin Yujuan, this is asking Lin Yukou to be a door-to-door salesman.

"And how much does this pair of gloves and socks sell for?" Lin Yukou asked

"The gloves and socks go from cotton to thread to dyeing, and the labor at home is not counted, and the cost of each pair is about three cents. You sell it for fifteen wen first, and if someone makes a counteroffer, it can only be one or two less at most. Less will not work. ”

The three of Qi's mother and daughter are weaving things at home, not to mention for the time being. said that Yukou took a few pairs of gloves and socks and went to the town with Lin Guilu. It's just that Lin Guilu went too early in the morning, and those who open shops and do business pay attention to open business. I don't want to spend money before it opens. So Lin Yukou was not very smooth for a while. He ran to several stores in a row, and he didn't sell a pair of gloves and socks. Later, a shopkeeper gave him a few words, and he realized what was going on. Thinking about it, I still went to the college first, so I found Lin Guilu, who was delivering goods, and went to a private school by myself.

The life of the Qintong people is still relatively rich. It is not comparable to the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is in the upper middle compared to most of the rural areas in the country. So there are still a lot of literate people. There are also five or six private schools in the town, and there is a very famous Yangming Academy in the easternmost part of the town. It is said that it has been seventy or eighty years since its establishment. Although there are not too many people in and out, there are always a few people from time to time. This is also a very good college for students in the nearby villages.

Lin Yukou naturally inquired from west to east in order. Sell from house to house. After walking through two houses, he found that most of the children in the private school were still enlightened children, and some were half children. Most of them live nearby, and they only have one or two copper coins on them at most. Fifteen cents is not a small amount, and there are few adults who let their children carry so much money with them. Didn't get it and bought it on the street.

Lin Yukou looked at these gloves knitted by himself, even the hands of adults could put them in. Thinking about it, I still went to Yangming Academy to sell it. As for these small private schools, they have to teach the sisters in the family to weave two more small dots. When you get out of class at the private school, the parents will come to sell it when they come to pick it up, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

I walked all the way to the easternmost part of the town, and when I walked to the gate of the academy, I was almost out of the town. Lin Yukou looked up, and the plaque engraved with the four big characters of Yangming Academy was already a little weathered. The courtyard door under the plaque was open, and Lin Yukou walked straight in. But he didn't take a few steps before he stopped, because he heard the sound of reading. In the other classrooms, there is also a gentleman lecturing. He didn't dare to go so recklessly.

He was still in awe of the readers, although he himself knew a few words. But compared to the students here, it's really nothing. Besides, it's not easy for people to disturb themselves in class. I had to retreat outside the door and wait for the end of class.

After waiting for a while, I saw three or two students walking around, thinking that they were taking a break between classes, drinking water and going to the toilet. It's not yet noon time to eat, and I'm a little unwilling to go back like this. It seems that I will have to calculate the time to come back later. After thinking about it, he walked in again, stopped the two students and saluted. Seeing that the students were older than him, he shouted again, "Please stay with the two eldest brothers." The two students were naturally very surprised, looking at the appearance of this half-grown child, it was not from their own academy. I don't know what happened when I ran in and shouted at my house.

Lin Guilu hurriedly raised his right hand, wearing a navy blue cotton glove on his hand, and five fingers were exposed. "Please take a look at this glove, it's warm and not at all in the way when you wear it to polish ink and write in this winter." Over and over again, my fingers kept making various movements. Then he spread out the burden and handed each of the two students a glove. "You can also put it on and try it, it's very useful."

The two of them were also very curious when they saw the novelty. If you want to try it, you can try it, and take the gloves and put them on your hands one by one. It feels pretty good, although not as warm as cotton gloves (which are filled with cotton). But this is flexible, and you can write with it. It's better than bare-handed.

"How do you sell it?" One of them, a little skinny, asked.

"Just fifteen pennies." Lin Yukou said.

"So expensive? Only a pair of gloves" The other short one is too expensive.

"My brothers don't know, but I watched my family do it. The cotton is first twisted into threads, then dyed, and finally machine-woven. It's troublesome. You see the gloves are elastic and fit together. It's made especially for people like you who read books. "Because my sister has always told me to keep it secret, I must not teach others how to knit gloves. So he can only say nonsense that it is machine-woven.

I don't know if it's because the gloves are really easy to use, or if they are specially made for readers, so he was impressed. The tall, thin man said, "Then little brother, you can bring me a pair, just this navy blue." Well, fifteen pennies for you. As he spoke, he took out his purse, took out fifteen pennies, handed it to Lin Yukou, and turned his head to ask his companion, "Do you want to have a pair too?" ”

The companion said, "I'm not in a hurry, it's not that cold yet." I'll see if it's easy for you to wear, I'll buy it if it's easy to use. When Lin Yukou heard this, it seemed that this person would not buy it today. There have been many runs in front of me and no pair has been sold, but now that it has opened, Lin Yukou has finally decided in his heart, and someone still buys this glove.

"Two big brothers, can I go to the door of your academy and sell it?" Lin Yukou asked by the way.

"Now that the master and the master have gone to rest, I will go and call you in a quarter of an hour. Ask them if they need it. "Tall, thin and warm-hearted.

"Thank you so much." Saying that, Lin Yukou bent down and saluted again.

"What's the matter?" With that, the two of them returned to the classroom. From a distance, I saw that the thin and tall man also learned Lin Yukou and raised a hand to show everyone his new things. For a while, five or six students who remained in the classroom gathered around and looked curiously at this novel glove. He asked, and then saw the tall and thin man pointing at himself. After a while, three students came over, and one of them asked, "You sold this glove?" Lin Yukou replied, "Yes, a few brothers, take a look?" There are black, navy blue, and sub-red. Which color do you want? ”

"Black, put it on for me and see if it works." The student said. Lin Yukou hurriedly took a pair of black and handed it to him, he took it and put it on his hand, stretched out his five fingers, "Hey, it's easy to use, this color is not afraid of blackening when writing and grinding ink." "The other two also took a pair to try on when they saw it, and they all said it was easy to use.

Lin Yukou was happy when he heard this, this is another three pairs to sell. With a smile on his face, he said, "Brothers, the gloves are fifteen pairs." "The one in the lead asked his classmates about the price just now, and he was embarrassed to think about the bargain. Only took out his purse and paid Lin Yukou fifteen yuan, and the other two also paid happily, and the remaining one bought it without money in his hand and borrowed it from his companion. Lin Yukou saw that it didn't take much trouble this time, and took out his socks to sell them to the three of them. The three of them looked at it and didn't buy it again.

A total of seven pairs of gloves were brought, and four pairs were sold in the blink of an eye. Lin Yukou had a dark beauty in his heart, and continued to peddle again. However, others mostly waited and watched, and the remaining gloves were not sold again. He saw that there was no business here, and they moved their positions again when they were about to go to class. I have to ask these students about their daily class and start times, and I have to pinch some tomorrow. I thought about returning to my own boat from this Yangming College to the west end of the street, and there were many shops along the way. Ask again one by one. After asking all the way, a boss finally spent 14 yuan to buy a pair. The one who picked it was navy blue, and the red one was not resistant to dirt, and the people who bought the gloves did not think about buying it. It seems that this glove is still black and easy to sell, so I have to talk to my family when I go home. walked all the way to the bridge and saw Lin Guilu waiting for him on the boat.

"Why did it take so long to come back? I waited for you for a long time and didn't see you come back, and I went to the street to look for you again and didn't see you. I'm in a hurry. Lin Guilu saw his son come back, and couldn't help but babble a few words.
