Chapter 13: Something Happened
The days are so busy, Yunxiang naturally can't watch her mother suffer. So he seized the loophole in Old Man Liu's speech, emphasizing that during this time, Zhou was only in charge of the workers' meals, and had no time to do other things. If you are too tired to do everything, you can't guarantee the quality of your cooking. And a few of my own small ones, at most, when my mother was on duty, fed the chickens and pigs, and no matter how much else I did, I couldn't do anything else.
Old man Liu can't, and he can only accept it when he sees it, according to what Yun Xiang said, for the time being. Xiao Wang originally thought that he could retreat everything to the third daughter-in-law, but he didn't want to fail to get his wish, so he gritted his teeth and scolded behind his back. But thinking that she was about to become the mother-in-law of the landlord's young lady, she suddenly felt better again. The daughter-in-law brought several subordinates into the door, can she not serve her as a mother-in-law? When the time comes, her own work will have to be done, she just lies down and lets the little girl knock her shoulders and beat her back!
The house was built very quickly, and it was about to be put on the beam, during which Yun Xiang went to the town twice. A total of three hundred and sixty-two were sold, and one thousand eight hundred and ten wen of silver were obtained, that is, one or two eight coins of silver and ten wen. Because her handkerchief was sold for a good price, she later embroidered five square handkerchiefs, each of which was one tael of silver, and got a total of five taels. She handed over all the money to Zhou, but the money for embroidering the handkerchief was collected by herself, just in case.
Early that morning, she packed her things and planned to go to town early. She calculated the time, and almost the previous five buttons were about to be cracked. This time, she plans to sell five more. Let others never keep up with their footsteps, how to say that sentence, has always been imitated, never surpassed. When she sells out these twenty panbuttons, it is estimated that many smart people should be able to create some new ones by themselves.
I went to the town, and the proprietress of the exquisite embroidery village was waiting there early.
"Hey, Yunxiang, you're here!" The proprietress directly pulled Yun Xiang closer to the backyard, "Our Panniu is really learnable!" Although there is only one family, I don't think it will be long before it spreads. Let's see, can you sell a few more to your aunt? ”
The proprietress made a lot of money because of this new one! How could she be willing to give up when she tasted the sweetness! Seeing Yun Xiang frowning, she hurriedly said, "The price is negotiable!" How about fifteen taels this time, no, twenty taels of silver? ”
Yun Xiang smiled, "Since the boss lady is so sincere, it would be hypocritical for me to shirk it again." Okay, I'll teach you five more this time. But I only have five samples, so I'll do it yourself this time, and I'll send you more in five days. ”
"Okay, no problem!" The proprietress smiled, "In the future, your family will only make the latest styles, all for five cents each." Those who have been learned by others, I will simply send work to the daughters-in-law who come to receive the work, provide materials, and collect two pennies each. ”
Yun Xiang naturally agreed, she not only handed the proprietress a new style of Panniu, but also prompted how to change the style of the clothes, which looked more compatible with Panniu. If the proprietress got the treasure, she only felt that her soft-heartedness at the beginning was really rewarded.
Yun Xiang accepted the money from the silver ticket and the pan button and the handkerchief, taught five new plate buttons, and ate at the proprietress again. Seeing that it was still early, I went to the largest shop selling rouge gouache in Qingyang Town. When she promoted Chinese culture in her previous life, she also made lipstick and rouge herself, so she was also very interested in this.
"Little girl, do you want to sell rouge?" The guy saw that it was a **-year-old girl, and he didn't wait to see him at all, but asked with a smile.
"How much silver is your cheapest rouge here?" Yun Xiang saw that the furnishings here were very luxurious, and she expected that the things here should not be cheap.
"The cheapest one costs two pieces of silver." A small guy handed Yun Xiang a box of poorly packaged rouge. Yun Xiang opened it and looked at it, it was just a very ordinary rouge tablet.
Two coins of silver are two strings of money, two hundred wen. Yun Xiang silently converted, two pennies can buy a pure meat bun, and five pennies can buy a bucket of rice. Tsk, sure enough, it's a woman's money that makes the best money. It is unbelievable that such a box of inferior rouge can be sold for 200 wen.
"How much silver does the most expensive cost?" Yun Xiang saw that the guy was easy to talk, so she asked more.
The man looked up and down, took out a delicate carved box, and when he opened it, inside was a white porcelain rouge box. "Then, this is the most expensive, it costs five taels of silver a box."
Five taels of silver, tsk. It's a slaughtering rhythm. Yun Xiang saw that the guy didn't care, so she opened the small porcelain box and looked at the rouge inside. It turned out to be rouge cream. Yun Xiang sniffed it, but the red and blue flowers were mixed with animal fat. I looked at the incense powder and lipstick, and I had a count in my heart.
Yun Xiang solemnly thanked her, and then walked out with a smile. When she went out, a man walked out from behind the screen of the shop.
The guy shouted respectfully, "Young Master, I've disturbed you." It's just a little girl who comes to watch and play. ”
The man shook his head, remembering the little girl's expression when she looked at things, and muttered, "Looking at the play? Not like, not like. ”
Yun Xiang went home happily, she had already thought about what she was going to do after the separation, and she was very happy. Because she was afraid that the Zhou family would worry, she came back earlier today. still handed over the silver of Panniu to the Zhou family and told her to hide it.
Zhou nodded happily, the money from the sale of Panniu these times, as well as the money from Yun Xiang's first sale of handkerchiefs, she already had more than four taels of silver in her hand. If you have money in your hands, you don't panic! The feeling of being rich is being down-to-earth!
"Why hasn't Dad come back yet?" Yun Xiang didn't see Liu Chengshuang's shadow, and couldn't help frowning, "Isn't the wood all ready, and it's about to be put on the beam?" ”
Zhou sighed when he heard this, "Your uncle's family is back, saying that the old man can't be partial, they are all grandsons, and they can't favor one over the other." I want to build an East Cross Courtyard for your Brother Yunshan family to live in. ”
Yun Xiang smiled when she heard this, "So my father went up the mountain again to find wood?" Since you can't be partial, mother, you can simply mention it, my brother wants to build a yard like Xiao Wu! ”
Zhou shook his head with a wry smile, "If one person builds a yard, how can there be so many places to build?" Even if you build it, you have to have money! It's just that your uncle's family has the confidence to ask for this. ”
"Mother! Mother, no! Xiao Wu ran back in a panic, and his whole face was crying, "Mother, Dad, Dad, it's not good." ”
"What did you say?" Yun Xiang held Xiao Wu's shoulder, "What's wrong with Dad?" Don't panic, speak slowly. ”
Xiao Wu sobbed and said, "Dad was smashed by a tree!" Both legs are full of blood! Now I'm gone! ”
