Chapter 121: Good Seedlings
Hua Peony followed Wei Qingbao to catch fish, and Hu Xiaomei could finally sew clothes quietly and concentratingly.
Fox friends and thirteen went to sell bean curd in the morning, fox fence did not need to go to school to help do housework at home, fox fence, Wei Sanniang and fox fence incense rushed to make jackets, if the fox friend did not come back for a long time, fox fence will help cook rice, the afternoon work naturally has fox friends and thirteen do, fox fence will follow his partner out to play. The live fox in the field, Otomo and Thirteen, share the burden.
Both the Xiang family and the Wang family now have a great change in their attitudes towards Hu Xiaomei's family. Xiang's family has an extra income because of the blessing of the fox Xiaomei's family, she cherishes it very much, and she wants to go on for a long time, so she completely put away the previous careful thoughts, and treats the fox Xiaomei's family sincerely. And after Wang saw that Hu Xiaomei took over such a large business in the sewing workshop, he no longer dared to underestimate Hu Xiaomei, and occasionally someone gossiped about Hu Xiaomei's family in the village, and she would help her.
After Hua Peony left Hu Xiaomei's house, the situation of Hu Xiaomei's family sewing jackets spread in the village, and many people were envious that Xiang and Wang could help, and asked Xiang and Wang from the side if Wei Sanniang wanted anyone to help.
The two of them wish that fewer people would go as much as possible, so that they could get more wages, but if the business of jackets really needs people, then there is no way, this matter has to be decided by Wei Sanniang, so the two of them didn't talk nonsense, they just said that they didn't know, and Wei Sanniang knew.
On the first day, Xiang and Wang's were a little handy, and they were soon able to do their own work, and the finishing work embroidered anti-counterfeiting signs were of course only done by Hu Xiaomei, and five people got up early and greedy for darkness. It took only five days to make all 20 jackets, and it was done very carefully.
The next day, Fox Lixiang accompanied Fox Xiaomei to the sewing workshop with the jacket to pay the order.
Shopkeeper Wu obviously didn't expect Hu Xiaomei's speed to be so fast, every piece of clothing was picked up and looked at it, and it was very good, so I had to sigh that Hu Xiaomei really had a hand when she looked young.
After taking the salary, Hu Xiaomei and Hu Lixiang happily returned home. Then the wages of the Xiang family and the Wang family were distributed, and each person got thirty copper plates, and the Xiang family was so happy that he thanked her again and again, saying that if there was a job in the future, he must let her come. Then he took the money and rushed home.
Outcome. Day 2. The sewing workshop has sent orders again. Ten fine jackets for four days.
According to the first experience, by Fox Lixiang and Fox Xiaomei, Wei Sanniang first packed the duck down. Roughly sewn it. Then let Xiang and Wang take over. I only rested at home for one day. The Xiang family and the Wang family began to run to the fox Xiaomei's house again.
Originally, some people heard that the wage was two copper, and they talked everywhere that the wage was low, but at this time, they got 30 copper plates after five days. Before he rested at home, there was another job at the door, and no one was not envious.
However, this time, Wang only did it for one day and went to the town's embroidery room. The embroidery room is her old customer, and it is not easy to excuse herself, but Hu Xiaomei is very easy to talk to, so let her go if she has something. Anyway, I went to a Wang family, and there were other people, just right, I could take this opportunity to help Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou win over some people.
On the third day, when Fox Dayou returned, he brought an order for ten first-class jackets, and the deadline was also four days.
Now the manpower is a little tight, Wei Sanniang immediately went to invite the Kong family to come to help, the Wang family went to the town, felt that the letter of the fox Xiaomei was lost, so he asked his daughter Zhou Lanhua to come to help, Zhou Lanhua's embroidery skills have won the true inheritance of the Wang family, and the embroidery work is also first-class. It is also easy to talk to others. Of course Fox Xiaomei is willing.
In order to speed up, Fox Xiaomei did not carry Xiang's eiderdown once in advance this time, and after the eiderdown was loaded, it was directly sewn by Xiang's a few times, in the afternoon, Fox Dayou and Thirteen went out once in addition to cutting pigweed, and stayed at home to help, needlework will not work, and it is still possible to help dress up and dress up duck down.
Fortunately, the first batch of ten top-grade jackets was completed on schedule, and then several orders came in a few days, and six or seven people rushed to make them day and night, and many people were envious of them.
Wei Qifeng was a little dismissive at first, but later listened to the people in the village making a fuss, and said that Xiang's earned thirty copper plates in the first five days, and the people in the sewing workshop sent things to Hu Xiaomei's house one after another, and this time I am afraid that I will have to earn more than 100 copper plates for the New Year. Wei Qifeng's mind is also alive.
Because of chrysanthemum, Wei Sanniang had a prejudice against Wei Qifeng, and then she had a relationship with her, and Wei Qifeng also understood in her heart, so she was a little embarrassed to go to Wei Sanniang at this time.
But she couldn't resist the temptation of money, and one day she still found Wei Sanniang. enthusiastic, flattering and obedient said a lot, and finally said: "I don't know if you still want people to do this job, I'm idle at home!" ”
"It's really unfortunate, sister-in-law Wei, this man is enough." Wei Sanniang smiled lightly. Tactfully refused.
Wei Qifeng was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.
There are orders coming one after another, proving that down jackets have been slowly accepted by people. Xiang's did earn a lot of silver this time, but it was not as exaggerated as the people in the village said, there were a total of more than 40 jackets before and after, the front 20 jackets got 30 copper plates, and the back more than 20 jackets got almost 50 copper plates, adding up to a total of 80 copper plates.
Although a hundred copper is less than enough, it is already very good for the Xiang family, at least he can put clothes for Wang Xiaobao and buy some New Year's goods back.
A group of people helped to make the jackets at home, and Thirteen took on most of the work in the house, except for the work in the fields, and went out to cut pigweed, and occasionally had to cook, although the food he cooked was not very tasty.
And the last picking of chrysanthemum cabbage, it was also Thirteen and Fox Dayou went, Xiang and Zhou Lanhua basically finished the jacket work and went home to pick chrysanthemum, and the rest of the finishing work Kong Shi Wei Sanniang and the three of them helped Fox Xiaomei to do it. After picking the chrysanthemum that should be picked, leaving a small piece of seed, Thirteen was worried that the dry land was too dry, so he picked a bucket to water.
Fox Dayou stayed at home to cook, Fox Xiaomei sorted out the jackets one by one, Wei Sanniang and the three of them cleaned up, and by the way, the cut clothes and fabrics were found to be loaded up, and the small fabrics left over after each jacket Fox Xiaomei would find something to put together, and each color, different textures of the fabric were classified together, so that it was easy to find when used in the future.
The days are short and the nights are long in winter!
By the time a few people had packed up their things, it was already dark. Fox Dayou's meal is almost ready, and I don't see Thirteen coming back, Fox Xiaomei thought about it, and went to the dry land to look for people, before she walked to the dry land, in the twilight, she saw a figure sitting on the side of the road.
When I got closer, it was thirteen.
"What are you doing sitting here?" Fox Xiaomei said.
Thirteen sat on the edge of the field, the bucket aside, and he touched his left ankle and rubbed it.
"Twisted?" Fox Xiaomei frowned.
"It's fine. I'll just rub it. "Thirteen pictures don't matter.
Fox Xiaomei saw that he didn't even frown. Guessing that it shouldn't be a big deal, after waiting for a while, Thirteen got up and picked up the bucket, and he motioned for Hu Xiaomei to go ahead. There is no doubt about him. Fox Xiaomei took the first step. The two went one after the other, and after a while, they returned home.
Hearing that Thirteen twisted his foot, Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang both stepped forward to care. Even Kong, who has never liked Thirteen very much, said a few words of concern.
Thirteen people have worked hard for this family for a while, and anyone can see his sincerity!
Seeing that so many people cared about him, Thirteen immediately laughed: "It's nothing, it's just a small injury, just rest for the night." "I looked relaxed. He also stopped the fox who wanted to go to Wei Dahe to get wine: "No need to wipe the wine, this is just a small injury, just rest for a night." ”
Hearing Thirteen say so firmly, Fox Dayou had no choice but to give up, and Fox Xiaomei instructed him: "If you feel uncomfortable, just say it, so that you can find your grandfather to come and help you take a look!" ”
The first time I heard that Hu Xiaomei took the initiative to care, Thirteen looked at her with some surprise, and said continuously: "Okay." ”
After dinner, the family went to bed early to rest, these days have not rested well, and finally all the orders were done, Hu Xiaomei slept particularly peacefully this night, the second day, the day on the three poles before getting up.
After a hurried breakfast, she called for the fox fence, and the two went to the sewing shop to hand over the clothes. Hu Xiaomei personally checked the checks, and the things were naturally no problem, and the shopkeeper Wu was very satisfied, and paid her the money happily.
The two took the money and turned around and went to the dry goods store, bought some dried fruits, snacks, melon seeds and other things, and returned home with large bags and small bags. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a tall figure in the middle of the courtyard standing on one foot, trying to throw the quilt on the drying pole.
There is no Wei Sanniang at home, and there is no fox fence.
"Why didn't you go to the market today?" Hu Xiaomei said in surprise. He looked at Thirteen's feet again and frowned, "Your feet are not well?" ”
The thirteenth general fell to the ground with the foot that stood on tiptoe, looked at the fox Xiaomei and said, "My foot is still a little uncomfortable, so my uncle didn't let me go to the market with me." ”
"Oh." After Hu Xiaomei finished speaking, she remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Didn't I see my father soaking eight catties of beans yesterday?" So how did he get on the street today? "Eight catties of beans have to be filled with four buckets of bean curd, and one person can't pick them up to the market.
"In the morning, I helped him pick up the market, and I wanted to help guard it together, but my uncle didn't let me, so I had to come back and rest." Thirteen explained, seeing that Hu Xiaomei had been staring at his injured foot, his foot moved uncomfortably, and said, "I'll pick up my uncle later." ”
"That's no, my dad told you to rest at home, so you don't have to go." She didn't have to worry about coming back, four empty buckets were easy to pick up.
Fox Xiaomei and Thirteen talked, Fox Lixiang didn't interject, went straight into the house and put the things away, came out and saw that the two were still standing in the yard talking, Thirteen was still holding the sore foot, and said, "Isn't the pillar tired there?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Sanniang came back from outside, saw Fox Xiaomei and Fox Lixiang, was overjoyed, and said, "How is it, have you handed over the jacket?" ”
"It's clipped, naturally it's no problem!" Fox Xiaomei said with a smile.
Wei Sanniang's expression was relieved, smiled, and told Hu Xiaomei: "It's okay!" If there is something that has not been done well, we have to solve it carefully, so that the business can last for a long time. ”
Fox Xiaomei smiled and smiled.
Wei Sanniang gave the bowl in her hand to Thirteen and said, "There is only such a little wine, you will wipe it, my father has something to do, and I will come over for you to take a look at it later." ”
Seeing that Hu Xiaomei looked puzzled, she explained: "Thirteen twisted his foot yesterday and didn't deal with it in time, and his ankle was swollen today, this stupid boy didn't say anything, and he helped your father pick up bean curd to go to the market in the morning." I'm going to ask your grandfather for some wine, he's going to have something to do here, and I'll come over later. ”
Fox Xiaomei suddenly, dare to love this fool's swollen feet and don't say anything, silently pick up bean curd for Fox Dayou, it must be that Fox Dayou found that he was walking wrong, and then he knew the truth.
Eh, this honest child, even this lazy can't steal, what a good seedling to work! (To be continued......)
