Chapter 38 You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust
The order volume of Xiuchun Lou continues to increase, there are not enough people, so that the peach blossom is worried, mainly because the family space is not enough, so I have to discuss with the village chief to temporarily occupy the ancestral hall, of course, to find people are all using the girls and daughters-in-law in the village, the man makes bamboo blocks and the girl can help the place is not much, the peach blossom greeted, or came a lot.
If there are many people, they have to start working all day long and have opinions, so they simply count all the pieces and calculate the salary, and the peach blossoms let them form their own groups, a group of five or six people, ranging from twenty to forty yuan for a piece, and even relatives also start to count the pieces. People are still willing to piece by piece, so that they can maximize their benefits.
"You see, we have two children and people don't want to be in a group with us, can we be in a group by ourselves." Aunt Ma in the village also died early for men, she took two daughters and a son with her parents-in-law, she was a very capable woman, she could do kite with everyone, and it was her turn to do bamboo blocks, planing, and grinding pure men's work. Today, I heard that Peach Blossom was an important person, so I quickly brought my two little daughters over.
Peach Blossom saw that one girl was the same age as herself, and the other was also ** years old, and it was not slow to work, "Aunt Ma, your two children only need the salary of one adult, or the child is idle, the two of them are faster than an adult, and someone should be willing to do it with you." ”
As soon as the idea of Peach Blossom came out, everyone was willing to join her, and other women with children also found an opportunity, and the group was quickly completed. Because children have small hands, some puppets need to be filled, and children are more convenient than adults to do it, especially teenage girls, they are slow to sew, but they fill the puppets at a similar speed as an adult, so it is popular to take children.
Now it is also the middle of April, the weather is hot, the peach blossoms let people in the ancestral hall, where they can get the sun, pull the oilcloth to shade the light, divide the varieties made by each group, set the price, and start to let people teach them to do it.
The sister-in-law brought bad news at this time, "Peach blossom, it's a little strange these days, there are no rags in each cloth shop, and I asked for it several times, not to say that it is not for sale, and it is said that there is no." "Isn't there that there are fewer people making clothes now?" "No, every spring and New Year is the time to make the most clothes, even if there are few." "There's enough cloth left." "I use too much now, and this time I added the goods, and after this delivery, if there is less cloth in Xiuchun Building, it will not be enough to do it next time."
Most of the cloth heads for making puppets come from other branches of Xiuchun Building, and every time they come to pull goods, they will bring some over, after all, it is a beneficial business for both parties, but all of a sudden there is a lack of supply from these near points in the town, which still has a great impact. One is special to do this, and if they all do this, there must be something strange in it.
"Let Brother Youcai go to other towns tomorrow, take a walk in the county, pull a few cars back, and then say, I'll go to Xiuchun Building to have a look."
The shopkeeper You was happy when he saw Peach Blossom, "I was looking for you, you came by yourself, it seems that we have a good heart." "It's all wrong, and you're still in the mood to laugh." "You can talk about the cloth head, rest assured that our owner knows about it, and the cloth head brought this time is enough for you." "Who's behind it?" "As you guessed, there have been some puppets coming out of here lately, in the same style as ours, and at a much cheaper price. What our proprietor means is that if we don't look new lately, they will naturally not have business soon. "Have you found out who it is?" "It's an old rival of our host, but the people who ship here are really unexpected." "Who?" "Your second aunt."
Since the second aunt had a quarrel with Peach Blossom last time, she actually came back the next day. When I came back, I was still full of spring breeze, and I didn't apologize, but the second uncle didn't come to work again, and I think it started at that time, maybe I had already set up a line with the outside.
Thinking about the second aunt's behavior in the past few days, it is really abnormal, she used to be reluctant to go home for dinner, eat peach blossoms, and save a meal herself. Now it's been three days to run home twice, and several children have been picked up. I also changed into a few new clothes to show off every day.
I didn't expect to be calculated by my relatives, so since you are unkind, I am unjust. For the competition in the shopping mall in the past life was much more fierce than now, Peach Blossom couldn't help but think about it, and had a secret conversation with Shopkeeper You.
The next day, when Xiuchun Lou came to pull the goods, there was no cloth at all, and the peach blossom family was turned upside down. However, the next order is very large, which is several times the current one, and the peach blossoms are so worried that they can't eat, and the Xiuchun Lou guy asks for ten days late delivery.
asked the family to go to the neighboring town to find the cloth head several times, but in the end they all returned in vain. Peach Blossom sighed at home, and finally thought of a bad trick to ask the workers to make the puppets the size of a palm, saying that the shopkeeper You said that she wanted to measure but did not say the size, this time she wanted to pass the test in confusion, but the palm-sized puppets, the cloth head was not enough, Peach Blossom asked them not to seal their mouths first, and said that they could not find the cloth head for two days to let everyone use cotton. The chickens and dogs at home are made by peach blossoms.
The second aunt returned to her house at night, which was called a proud, "How about it, this time the peach blossoms are loaded, haha and made small, a only a few pennies, tomorrow I will go to buy all the cotton, this time she died completely, a little girl also rode to my head all day as a prestige, tomorrow to borrow some silver from the owner, this time to do a lot of it, when the peach blossoms can't be shipped, we should make a lot of money." "Daughter-in-law, how about it, I'm smart, it's okay for you to quarrel with her, the best thing is that a god like me doesn't know, and the ghost will give her a salary from the bottom of the kettle unconsciously." Shen Wenkai drank a little wine and ate the drunken fairy chicken of the Drunken Immortal Building, which was called a smugness.
"This is called life, this shipment, look at the money we make, peach blossoms will also give five hundred a day, phew, now I am not rare, tomorrow the old lady will not work with her, I want to watch others work hard, make money for me." The second aunt took a mouthful of drunken fairy chicken, and was about to put it in her mouth, but was knocked off by Shen Wenkai with a chopstick, "You stupid girl, don't you go, don't you make them suspicious, besides, there will be a new look in the future, who will tell you." The owner said that this will be seen in advance, and if it is done, let's wait to count the money in the future, if it is smashed, you think about the consequences. ”
"I'll just go, next time there is a new look to ensure that the goods will go before them, rest assured, this time we will collect the cloth and cotton from several towns, see how she delivers, we just do a lot of it, and then the owner will praise us." "You're not afraid that your mother's family will turn your face on you when the time comes." "What's wrong with turning your face. When the money goes into our pockets, we will eat and drink for the rest of our lives, who wants to see their faces. "My mother is right, I will marry several daughters-in-law at that time, and each one will be more beautiful than the other. Buy a bunch of maids and wait. "Yo, our family is still strong and ambitious, and my mother is waiting to be an old lady."
For a few days, I was so worried that the peach blossoms were burned, and even the opening of the mahjong parlor was dragged back, standing in the ancestral hall every day and shouting, "Do it well, don't look small, whoever doesn't do it carefully, just go home, anyway, there will be no need for so many people soon." "Everyone knows why Peach Blossom is angry, and no one wants to provoke her.
A few days later, I couldn't even buy cotton, Peach Blossom was on fire, and her anxious voice was hoarse, and on the tenth day, Peach Blossom had to personally hold this batch of unfinished Xiaobu idols You Shopkeeper to hand over the errand, and when he came back, he announced that the family would not be a puppet for the time being, so that everyone would rest for a few days and wait for the notice.
On the second day of the first month of May, the embroidery spring building in each store strongly launched a mini Ai Xiang palm puppet, which was quickly snatched up, and the price was more expensive than the big one, each of which was embroidered with golden silk thread, all of them were fiery and golden-eyed, and it was rumored that the Dragon Boat Festival wore the waist on which day to prevent evil and avoid disasters. However, the old-fashioned puppets launched by Xiuchunlou's opponents were not cared for.
This time, the so-called proprietor of the second aunt was furious, not only scolded the second aunt and his wife, confiscated the puppets they made, and forced them to hand over the five hundred taels of silver they had invested in the early stage, and the second aunt and the house they bought were full of yard cloth and cotton, plus where is the money for this squandering, so they had to borrow money back and forth, I don't know what the second aunt said to the grandmother, anyway, the grandmother scolded her, gave her the silver and drove her away.
Peach Blossom knew that Xu Wang's family was reluctant to have children, and it could be regarded as a lesson for her, she couldn't be forced to death, just be careful of this kind of person in the future. The rest of the family didn't know what was happening. Of course, except for Brother De, who conspired with Peach Blossom.
It turned out that Peach Blossom had already arranged for Brother De to go out to collect wormwood, because he had been in charge of the charcoal, no one noticed him, and he was in a hurry, he dried the collected wormwood, found someone to cut it up, and quietly transported it to Xiuchun Building, and waited for the little puppet on the Peach Blossom side to be transported to Xiuchun Building, where the embroidery girl was filled, and then transported to various places to embroider golden silk eyes. Peach Blossom took a lot of dividends this time, and made a beautiful turnaround. forced Xiuchunlou's opponent to withdraw from the puppet market, and also made the second aunt suffer a big dumb loss.
Peach Blossom announced in a high-profile manner that this time the little puppet was a big seller, and the resumption of the work of the puppet. And promised that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, all the people who work in the family, regardless of adults and children, have two catties of meat and ten rice dumplings, to make up for the loss of everyone's work in the past two days, so that everyone can relax and continue to work.
The third sweet potato planting, also under the urging of Master Chu, carried out in an orderly manner, the new wasteland land was directly applied by Master Chu to the new Wuxian Order, on the grounds of national research of high-yield plants, applied to more than ten acres of super preferential wasteland, and the symbolic payment of five taels of silver was used by the peach blossom family. Peach blossoms will not dislike a lot of land, wasteland is also an asset, wasteland has the benefits of wasteland, cheap, and the worst can also build a house to raise livestock.
In fact, it took more than one acre to plant sweet potatoes, mainly because there were not many seedlings, and then pinching them would affect the normal growth of sweet potatoes in the early stage. There are people who are so worried about Master Chu, the peach blossoms simply show their side and flash people, the sun is too hot.
It's been too busy making moon cakes these days, and it was almost two o'clock last night, dear friends, forgive me, please eat moon cakes.
