In this way, on the night of the fourteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the lights were on in the courtyard of the river house for a long time.

On the morning of the fifteenth, when Mu Qingqiu came over, there were countless lotus lanterns in the yard, and a lot of rabbit lanterns had been made.

Seeing that everyone was going to continue to work with the materials, Mu Qingqiu immediately stopped, today is the day to pick up lanterns, who else wants it after today? When the time comes, if you can't sell it, it's all in your own hands, how can you fix it?

She didn't care about a few expenses, but the people in the river house were afraid that they would be hit.

Hearing Mu Qingqiu's concerns, Su Xiaowen smiled, and said, "Don't worry, we have already hired a car, and we will take some of it to the county to sell it today." ”

Wolong County? Mu Qingqiu listened, hey, there is a door, although the distance is a little farther, but it will definitely be there in half a day, set off now, from afternoon to evening, half a day, such a big market, and just in time for the right day, it should be able to digest.

So, Su Xiaowen ordered a few people who usually do things more steadily, brought five hundred lotus lanterns and all the rabbit lanterns, and went to Wolong County.

The lantern was loaded on the car, although it was not heavy, but it occupied an area, the carriage was stuffed, not to mention, the outside of the carriage was also tied with ropes, and it looked like a red mountain from a distance.

The lanterns in the yard went four-fifths of the way at once, and everyone did not stop, and while continuing to make them, they took the finished products and sold them on the street.

Seeing such a grand occasion, Mu Qingqiu couldn't help but sigh, it was really: there is a lot of power in numbers!

In fact, she just wanted to sell a few lanterns and make a few small bucks.

Unexpectedly, in a few days, Shantang's lantern system was like a factory, and it was all over the place.

Everyone is busy, but she is idle, and someone helps her to do everything, led by her mother-in-law, for fear of tiring her.

Mu Qingqiu couldn't do it, so in the end, he just ended up like Mu Qingqiu, following the lantern to join in the fun.

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, the lanterns sold on the street disappeared in an instant, and the river house naturally did not continue.

Su Xiaowen made a lot of money in just two days.

There are more than 1,300 lotus lanterns and more than 250 rabbit lanterns.

I took 500 lotus lanterns to the county, each for 20 yuan, and sold them for a total of 10 taels of silver.

The rabbit lanterns were taken to one hundred and fifty in Wolong County, and each was sold for thirty-five yuan, a total of more than five taels of silver.

Taken together, the income brought back from Wolong County alone is as much as fifteen taels.

Fifteen taels, if you are frugal with coarse tea and light rice, it is enough for dozens of people in the river house to spend a year without going hungry.

The lanterns left in Guyang Town for sale, there are more than 800 lotus lanterns, each of which costs ten yuan, and a total of more than eight taels of silver.

Also, if Mu Qingqiu knew that the lotus lantern also had the meaning of 'divine blessing', maybe he would really set the price higher?

Hehe, God bless is priceless!

However, since the price was set, Mu Qingqiu didn't mention it, Da Kui muttered more than once that a lotus lantern would be sold for twice as much money when it was taken to the county, and it would be too bad to sell it in Guyang Town.

Su Xiaowen agreed with Mu Qingqiu's meaning, they are all from the same town, even if they don't know each other, they are familiar, since the price has been set, naturally they can't raise the price again.

Businessmen pay attention to integrity, and no matter how small the business is, they must avoid greed.

While peddling while rushing to make, before the afternoon also made a small hundred rabbit lamps, to get the street price of 20 Wen, rabbit lamps naïve and cute appearance immediately provoked a lot of onlookers, but the price is more, but buy less.

Later, Mu Qingqiu mentioned yì, buy a lotus lantern alone for ten yuan, buy a rabbit lamp alone for twenty yuan, if you buy two together, as long as twenty-five yuan, two or more for each additional rabbit lantern to reduce five yuan, so as to greatly increase the sales of rabbit lanterns.

Fifteen taels, eight taels, plus nearly a hundred rabbit lamps of more than one tael of silver.

Aside from the cost, colored paper is more expensive, but it only used less than two taels of silver, the fare to go to the county is 500 Wen back and forth, hemp rope, bamboo strips are less than 200 Wen, the paste is freshly beaten, so can you use more flour?

In this way, after removing the labor costs, and then subtracting the cost of land occupation, favors, etc., the Lantern Festival actually made a net profit of almost 20 taels of silver in a few days.

Looking at the large amount of copper money and broken silver, the people in the river house were more happy than Chinese New Year's Eve, a lot of silver, many of them had never seen so much silver!

After the excitement, many people hugged their heads and cried.

originally lived in a dark grass hut, except for begging for food all day long, waiting for death, and even trying to earn a few food money by hard work was squeezed out in various ways.

Those days almost exhausted their expectations of life.

At that time, they couldn't even come up with a penny.

But now, looking at a pile of money, this is money earned by everyone's strength and concerted efforts.

The expectation of life in their bodies was instantly awakened, they were not useless, they could really earn money to support themselves with their hands.

With such a big change in mood, how can you not be excited, and the long-suppressed love broke out at this moment, and both men and women cried bitterly.

Seeing this, Mu Qingqiu turned around and left, she had already told Su Xiaowen about how to distribute the proceeds of the lanterns.

Half of it is divided equally among everyone to improve their lives, and the other half is saved as start-up capital.

As for what to start, Su Xiaowen was very smart, Mu Qingqiu barely said a few words, Su Xiaowen's eyes lit up and he only called out good ideas.

Start-up capital can be had, but Su Xiaowen does not agree with the allocation method.

According to Mu Qingqiu's division, she took all the people in the river house into account, but she didn't consider herself, which was planning to give all the benefits to everyone.

Where is Su Xiaowen? They lived in Mu Qingqiu's house, and even the lantern model was provided by Mu Qingqiu, even if Mu Qingqiu took all the proceeds of the lantern and didn't give them a penny, they couldn't complain in the slightest.

But Mu Qingqiu, I don't want anything.

Su Xiaowen was grateful in his heart, but he did not refuse in person, but relayed Mu Qingqiu's distribution method to everyone, and he felt that everyone in the river house who was helped by Mu Qingqiu should know this.

After listening to Su Xiaowen's words, some people's faces were fleeting, and most of them frowned and fell silent.

After a long time, even her mother-in-law opened her mouth: "Qiu'er girl is kind-hearted and gives us a way to live, we, we can't take this money." When a sentence came out, even the mother-in-law's eyes turned red again.

Mu Qingqiu began to give alms at the entrance of the market a few months ago, starting once a week to every three or five days, and then simply giving alms every day, and then directly providing accommodation and setting up food stalls to make them self-sufficient.

Even Mother-in-law and others originally thought that Mu Qingqiu was the daughter of a rich and noble family, and only with family wealth and kindness would they pity their group of beggars.

But as time went by, they didn't have to worry about eating all day long, and gradually noticed some rumors, only to know that the matter of the Mu family in Zhushan Village also knew what happened to Mu Qingqiu. (To be continued.) )
