04 Making Private Money (1)

Li San and his wife said so much, it was not difficult for her to be a child, they let Jiang Xiaomiao follow them and their husband and wife to have a full meal, and when they left, they also gave Jiang Xiaomiao some leftover materials for making fish balls. Looking at those fish intestines, fish maws, fish roe and head and tail, Jiang Xiaomiao thought of the stewed fish offal in his hometown, which tasted better than fish and meat.

When Jiang Xiaomiao went back, her mother was cooking dinner, and today the eldest aunt took two girls to a rich man's house to do embroidery, and she didn't come back for ten days. When the eldest aunt left, she left fifty catties of cotton for He Xiuxiu to spin, so that they were not afraid that He Xiuxiu would be lazy to eat white rice after they left. If these threads are really spun, they can earn more than 200 yuan, but the stingy aunt only left 150 yuan for He Xiuxiu's mother and daughter to eat for ten days, and that 50 yuan is about the meaning of collecting rent.

He Xiuxiu felt very sad, but she didn't tell her two daughters in her stomach, Jiang Xiaomiao found out about this problem, she came up with a way to turn her eyes, she said to He Xiuxiu: "If these fifty catties of cotton and one hundred and fifty dollars are used, the three of us will be able to save some private money." ”

Hearing the private money, Jiang Xiaohua immediately rushed over, she missed some private money at home too much, and the thing she longed for the most was to be full. He Xiuxiu also understands that if the eldest uncle and son don't come back, they will always follow the sister-in-law's family like this, and sooner or later they will be squeezed clean and sold.

Jiang Xiaomiao cleared her throat and said in a childish childish voice: "My mother went to find those poor women who had no capital to buy cotton and were good at craftsmanship to come and spin the thread, let them spin the thread in the corridor of our house, and settle the wages for them according to the weight of the spinning thread." Then sell the thread that day and buy cotton to continue to hire them to do things, so that after ten days, the mother will always have some money left in her hand. And don't be too honest, don't be stupid to leave fifty catties of thread for the uncle, and leave some unspun cotton down, so that the uncle won't leave so much work for you to do next time. ”

He Xiuxiu immediately came to her senses as soon as she heard this, she immediately said: "Xiao Miao, your idea is good, let's go find someone to help now, there is a moon tonight, we can do the work at night, don't buy the food we eat in one go, and the money can also buy cotton back." Xiao Miao, my son, why are you so smart. ”

Jiang Xiaomiao didn't have a look of pride when she was praised, but said to her mother and sister with some sadness: "If you want to live a good life, you have to use your brains, we can't live on the eldest aunt for the rest of our lives, and the two sisters will marry in the future, if we are unlucky, we may all be sold by them." I always feel that my aunt didn't have any kind eyes when she took us in. Mother, don't take 150 yuan to buy cotton, you take 50 yuan to buy some wine and food, I got some fish offal today, I will teach you to make a dish later, you invite Jiang Pozi in the embroidery room to eat. Tomorrow, you will exchange the spun thread with the embroidery room for some large cloth heads and the original backlog of fabrics, and Mrs. Jiang will definitely take care of them, and it is more cost-effective to sell these than to buy cotton. ”

He Xiuxiu was stunned by Jiang Xiaomiao's adultization, and Jiang Xiaohua quickly hid behind her mother. After a minute, He Xiuxiu took a step back, stared at Jiang Xiaomiao and said, "Miao, aren't you possessed by some spirit, why can you talk like that?" The goblins are not as good as you. ”

Jiang Xiaomiao looked at her frightened mother and sister, rolled her eyes and said, "Have you ever seen a goblin like me who doesn't leave every day without enough to eat?" If I were a goblin, I would have left here a long time ago, and I would go through the walls and eat all the good food of the rich man's house every day, and I would steal a lot of silver to go to the market to buy things, and buy whatever I liked. ”

Seeing Jiang Xiaomiao talking about this, He Xiuxiu was relieved, it turned out that Jiang Xiaomiao's precocious maturity was forced by hunger, this child went out early and returned late every day, and he didn't eat anything at his sister-in-law's house, but he never woke up from hunger, so he probably found a way to eat enough. He Xiuxiu thought about it, gritted her teeth and took out fifty yuan to buy wine and braised vegetables, Jiang Xiaomiao asked Jiang Xiaohua to burn the fire, and personally grasped the amount of ingredients. When the stewed fish offal came out of the pot, Jiang Xiaohua drooled when she smelled it, Jiang Xiaomiao looked at Jiang Xiaohua's unproductive appearance, and deliberately kept some of it, and asked Jiang Xiaohua to send it to Li San's stall to eat together, as for her, she had to follow her mother to Jiang Pozi's side to pull the relationship.

He Xiuxiu didn't want to waste the opportunity to "make money", so when she walked to the intersection, she put a few catties of cotton on the side of her acquaintances, and asked them to come to her house tomorrow morning to do work and bring the spun immortals. Jiang Xiaomiao saw that her mother was very good, and she was very happy in her heart, all the rich people in this world make money by "exploiting" others, and it is very honorable to be a capitalist.

Mrs. Jiang is the maiden servant who follows the proprietress of the embroidery room, and she is also quite embarrassed in the embroidery room, and she is in charge of the handling of the goods in the embroidery room, and she also has the final say in those thread changes. The proprietress has an approximate price for all the processed items, and it would be good if Mrs. Jiang could sell more, so anyone who wants to get something that can make money in the processed items in the embroidery room must be filial to Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Xiaomiao has long been able to cook good dishes in modern times, and when he was working, he worked as a part-time cook, and his skills were quite good. Mrs. Jiang ate the wine and food sent by He Xiuxiu, was very satisfied with the stewed fish offal, and asked He Xiuxiu where she bought it. Jiang Xiaomiao immediately replied that it was bought by Li San's fish ball stall, and Jiang Pozi remembered Li San's fish ball stall after tasting the taste.

After eating, Mrs. Jiang naturally understood that He Xiuxiu was asking for her, and He Xiuxiu blushed and said what Jiang Xiaomiao meant. Mrs. Jiang immediately opened the scrap warehouse and took out the cloth heads to be disposed of recently, the defective embroidery pieces, and a few cheap clothes that were damaged by the small workers, all of which were three taels of silver.

He Xiuxiu only had a hundred yuan in her hand, which was still the living expenses of their mother and daughter for ten days, Jiang Xiaomiao looked at He Xiuxiu's embarrassed appearance, and immediately pulled her mother to whisper a few words.

He Xiuxiu understood what Jiang Xiaomiao meant, so she said to Mrs. Jiang: "Mother-in-law Jiang, our sister-in-law should still have wages in the embroidery room and have not settled, our family wants all these things, and it can be regarded as the sister-in-law who added new clothes to the three of us." The money will be calculated when the sister-in-law goes home and settles the wages with the embroidery room. ”

Mrs. Jiang thought about it and agreed, and the embroidery room generally lowered some of the embroidery girl's wages, which was considered a warranty money. Like Liu's mother and daughter, the three often take jobs in the embroidery room, and the circulation is two or three taels of silver, this time they go to the rich man's house to embroider the dowry, and the wages still have to be settled through the guò embroidery room, and the people who give these things to their family are not afraid of repaying the bills.
