The farmers who planted artemisia for the first time had no experience, and estimated the time of picking, so the town sent someone down to check and told Tang Daming and others which ones could be picked, how to pick them, and what were the requirements. Artemisia cabbage is not better than potatoes, after harvesting, you can temporarily put it at home, and the artemisia cabbage must be sent away immediately, otherwise it will not be able to keep it fresh for a long time, not to mention, it will rot.

Therefore, the purchaser will not buy from village to village, and after the villagers pick the artemisia cabbage, they will pull it to Weijia Town, and the mayor of the town will set aside a special place for the purchase of artemisia cabbage.

As for the price, two copper plates are a catty, although the price is low, but the picking requirements are also wide for the other party, allowing the leaves to be picked a little longer.

As soon as the people who collected the artemisia cabbage left, the families who had just been named to pick the artemisia cabbage immediately went home to get something to pick the vegetables.

In addition, a large number of people didn't know whether they could pick their own artemisia cabbage, so they ran to Tang Daming's house and asked him to help him take a look. Dozens of families always have to look at them one by one.

Those who were told to wait for another day or two gathered around Tang Daming's house, Wei Qifeng's eyes purred, and he walked out of the yard with his things and said to everyone: "Don't worry, it's okay to wait for two more days, let's work hard to plant this artemisia vegetable just to sell it at a good price, take the opportunity to see how others pick it, don't pick it up messily, don't meet the requirements of the top, and then drop the price." ”

"Oh, yes, I've heard how long the big leaves have to be plucked, and how long the small leaves have to be picked. There are also thin leaves, and my head was dizzy just now. ”

"Let's see if Wei Qifeng is going to the vegetable field, or let's go and take a look."

So, a few women followed Wei Qifeng to the vegetable field, Wei Qifeng took the basket and said while bending down to pick artemisia vegetables: "I heard that this big leaf is different from the small leaf, we have to separate when we pick it, and the small leaf is more tender to eat...... But when the leaves are longer, they will take up two catties, so the size must be picked...... You have to look at it clearly, you have to pick it like this...... Those who stand on the field and can't see clearly come down and see......"

Several women stood on the edge of the field and craned their necks to look into the field. But Wei Qifeng's body blocked it, and he couldn't see the movements of her hands clearly. Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and finally rolled up their sleeves together and stepped into the vegetable field.

Some other people who only learned later also rushed to Wei Qifeng's vegetable patch. Follow down to the ground to help. Just to listen to Wei Qifeng explain how to pick this artemisia.

At last. The chrysanthemum cabbage in Wei Qifeng's vegetable field was picked in the afternoon, and the picking was very careful. I probably estimated that it would be dozens of pounds. One or two hundred copper plates can't run away.

After picking this artemisia cabbage for the first time, you can chase the fertilizer again, and you can pick it for the second time in a month, Wei Qifeng was happy in his heart, and he finished picking the vegetables in the afternoon, while the sky was not completely dark, Tang Daming drove the ox cart, and the two went to the market to sell the artemisia cabbage.

In the afternoon, when Fox Dayou came back from the field, he said to Wei Sanniang: "...... A large number of people gathered in a field, teaching hand in hand, I don't know if the method of picking is the same. ”

Wei Sanniang glanced at him: "How to pick it is the person who buys it, and no matter how she says, she has to follow other people's methods." ”

"Then didn't I see her teaching others in the field for an afternoon, and I was afraid that there was something else to hide?" Fox Otomo said.

Hu Xiaomei puffed and laughed: "Dad, didn't you say that the village chief's family was the most fair before?" Why is the village chief's family suspicious at this time? ”

"I'm talking about the village chief, as for Wei Qifeng'......" Fox Dayou said and paused, how could he not know that Wei Qifeng wanted to take the opportunity to let the big guy go to help her family work, but he was really afraid that Wei Qifeng would hide it, he didn't say these words, but the other meaning in the words couldn't be more obvious: "I'm not a woman's family, I don't want to talk about the length of people." ”

How could Hu Xiaomei and the others not understand.

"Dad, the person who bought it said it in front of the people in the village, and he didn't just say it to her. As long as you understand how to pick it, then we will follow the requirements. ”

What free labor, she's not a fool. Wei Qifeng's face is very good, and her thinking of stepping on high and low is not as obvious as some people, but Hu Xiaomei can still see that this kind of person can't be self-degrading to help her work. Only when their own family really becomes stronger, those who look down on their family will admire them from the bottom of their hearts!

Ten jackets were finally made in the afternoon, Hu Xiaomei folded the jackets one by one, the first-class jackets and the first-class jackets were separated, the fabrics were all provided by the sewing workshop, they only spent the money of duck down and handiwork, the first-class jacket was thirty copper plates, the first-class jacket was twenty copper plates, and the first-class jacket was twenty copper plates, and this time they could earn two hundred and fifty copper plates.

A jacket is four taels of duck down, and ten jackets share two hands of duck down, two catties of duck feathers, and the cost is twelve copper plates, that is to say, it is not handmade money, and they have earned a net of two hundred and thirty-eight copper plates this time.

I earned more than 200 copper plates so easily, and it was less than ten days, which was more cost-effective than the bean curd business. Fox Dayouwei Sanniang, and Fox Lixiang smiled so much that her mouth was not disturbed, and Fox Xiaomei was also very happy, this is just the beginning, their business will get better and better in the future, and their income will be more and more, she believes that their family is not far from a real well-off life!

As long as someone wears a down jacket, there will be more and more people who slowly know the down jacket, and the main focus of the fox Xiaomei is on the sales of the best jacket, and when the down jacket really goes to the market, she will slowly adjust the style of the jacket and make some more different flower styles.

This down jacket is good, but one of the drawbacks is that it is too loose to wear, which will make people feel bloated in the eyes of the rich, so it still needs to be improved and developed.

Although this is not physical work, but it hurts the eyes very much, especially doing needlework at night, Fox Dayou is afraid of hurting the eyes of the three people, so he decided to buy more oil and come back, and the next time Wei Sanniang and the three of them do needlework at night, they will light an extra oil lamp.

He smiled and boiled the boiling water and poured it for the three of them, carried the already packed jackets into the house, helped clean up the sewing and some leftover rags, and picked up the broom under the eaves on the other side and gave it to Thirteen.

"Let them rest, let's help make dinner after the work is done, and let's have breakfast tonight." For Thirteen, Fox Dayou is quite kind now, and he almost doesn't treat him as an outsider.

Thirteen nodded, took over the work in the hands of Fox Dayou without saying a word, pointed to the kitchen, and said, "I'll clean up, uncle, you cook." ”

Fox Dayou was not polite at all, and gave the work at hand to Thirteen, and went into the kitchen by himself.

Staying at home for a few days and doing needlework, Wei Sanniang felt that her whole neck was stiff, and her waist was sore, but fortunately, there were people to do the work at home, and she didn't have to worry about it, she just wanted to lie down in bed now.

Seeing that she was beating her waist and pinching her neck, she came over and pressed her back to sit on the stool intimately, and said, "Mother, you sit, I'll help you pinch your shoulders." ”

I really wanted someone to help with the beating, Wei Sanniang sat back again, and sighed: "It's still the boss who is caring, and I didn't care about myself and came to help my mother beat her back, this time you all worked hard......"

Halfway through the words, before the words of praise for Hu Xiaomei could be spoken, she saw that Hu Xiaomei was standing in the yard, her hands raised high, her mouth shouting "one, two, two, three, four......" head, and her body leaned back vigorously, not to mention how ugly the posture was.

And Thirteen was sweeping the floor with a broom, and from time to time he looked at her with strange eyes.

Wei Sanniang's face immediately darkened, and she shouted: "Second child! ”

"Huh!" Hu Xiaomei stopped, and when she saw Wei Sanniang with a straight face, she remembered where this was, stretching her waist and twisting her ass in ancient times would be said to be uncivilized, let alone a young man in this courtyard.

Fox Xiaomei looked at Thirteen with a small face, and shouted: "Look at what, sweep your floor!" ”

Wei Sanniang's face darkened, although Thirteen has been at their house for a while, but generally when Fox Dayou is not at home, he will not come, even if the fox fence is at home, he will only stay for a while, and leave after the work is done.

Just now, it was Fox Xiaomei who didn't pay attention to her image and swayed, who didn't see it strangely and looked twice, but Fox Xiaomei was Wei Sanniang's daughter, she naturally favored her daughter, and knew that she shouldn't blame Thirteen, but she was still a little unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't say it clearly. could only stare at Fox Xiaomei and reprimand her: "If you are really idle, go and help your father light the fire." ”

Fox Xiaomei pursed her lips, and finally could only droop her head and say: "Those rags are very good, I want to pick them up, and they will be easy to use in the future." Then he took a stool and sat down under the eaves, and began to pick up the rags in the crumb.

The fabric bought by the sewing workshop must be better than their own, soft and soft, and although they are cut into pieces, they may be able to sew something together.

She put the large pieces together, picked out the too small pieces of cloth, and sat for a few days, but her waist had not eased up, but now she felt more sore.

Hu Xiaomei glared at the culprit in the yard, rolled her eyes, pointed to the row of cloth bags hanging under the eaves and said seriously: "Thirteen, quickly sweep the ground, after sweeping, you open these cloth bags, look at the duck feathers inside, and feel if there is any moisture." If it is wet, it must be sunned, otherwise it will not be able to be used in the future. ”

Thirteen mumbled, and his hand moved faster.

When Fox Fence and Wei Qingbao came back, they saw Fox Xiaomei sitting under the eaves and directing the thirteenth regiment.

Wei Qingbao followed his father Wei Shiming out to pick up goods for a while, he hadn't been to Fox Xiaomei's house for a long time, so he naturally didn't know about the down jacket, or he heard about the fox fence on the road just now, he was surprised that Fox Xiaomei could think of this business, and he also went out to buy a few gadgets this time and wanted to show them to Fox Xiaomei, so he came back with Fox Fence.

As a result, as soon as I entered the yard, I saw Hu Xiaomei sitting under the eaves with a wicked smile and directing Thirteen to work, letting him hold a cloth bag with duck down and tossing back and forth.

I don't know why, Wei Qingbao felt very awkward! (To be continued......)
