Chapter 15: Making Money
"Mother, are you okay?" Bai Qingshuang asked cautiously.
If the fact that his soul was worn was known by the people of this world, I wonder if he would be burned as a demon or a monster?
When Bai Yao came back to his senses, he realized that his eyes were moist and out of shape, and his daughter was looking at him worriedly.
Immediately wiped his face and said with a smile: "It's okay!" It's okay! Mother is just blinded by the wind! Good boy, my mother knows that you are a filial child, but you are weak, you still need to rest well, you don't have to come out so early to make breakfast in the future, your mother will call you when it is ready! ”
Parents all over the world are in the same mood, as long as they are tired for the sake of their children, it doesn't matter.
"Mother, you're so nice!" Coquettishly hugged Bai Yao's and stirred up her feelings, Bai Qingshuang said, "Mother, Sister Wan asked me to go out with her to sell flowers to make money, so in the future, you don't have to embroider alone to make money!" Dad doesn't have to be angry because he doesn't have a monthly routine in the future, if we work together as a family, life will definitely be better! ”
"Good!" Bai Yao's eyes blurred again, and he said a few good words in a row, stroked his daughter's head and said with relief, "Shuang'er, don't tire yourself too much, you know?" ”
"Hmmm! Know! Pretending to be tender still feels good, Bai Qingshuang nodded coquettishly, and began to think about what she had to do today.
After breakfast, Bai Qingshuang changed into the clothes that Bai Yao had changed last night, and asked Bai Yao to comb two small buns for her, and then went out to find Wan Niang.
Wan Niang really has a lot of work in the morning, in addition to cooking breakfast for the family, she also has to serve her sick mother-in-law to eat, drink and change clothes.
When Bai Qingshuang passed, she was holding a lot of clothes ready to wash, and Xiaodou was sweeping the floor with a broom taller than her.
"Xiaodou, aunt will help you sweep!" Bai Qingshuang couldn't see it, and took the initiative to take the broom in Xiaodou's hand.
"Sister Frost, how can this be done? You'd better pick the flowers first and sell them! Wan Niang immediately embarrassed to drop the clothes in her hand to grab Bai Qingshuang's broom.
"Sister Wan, you can see it, it's better for two people to work together than alone! When we're done, let's go out and sell flowers together, and I'm going to ask you for the tricks of selling flowers! Bai Qingshuang resolutely refused to let her snatch the broom.
It's not that she has the heart to pat Wanniang's ass, it's just that she didn't see her husband when she came over so early, and she went out to work early. And such a young child also knows how to help her mother work, which makes her feel that this family should be worthy of deep friendship.
Although their family is as poor as hers, it is important to make friends.
Besides, she is new to another world and really needs the help of others.
"You kid, what tricks do you have to pay attention to selling flowers, just shout and shout on the street!" Wan Niang couldn't snatch Bai Qingshuang, so she had no choice but to let her go.
"It's not the first time for me, I'm timid, I have to take Sister Wan with me!" Of course, it is impossible for a person who comes out of the professional sales industry to have stage fright, but Bai Qingshuang just said that she was very small, so that Wan Niang no longer felt that her help would make her embarrassed.
There was Bai Qingshuang helping to sweep the floor and wash the dishes, and dry the clothes together, and Wan Niang felt embarrassed in her heart, and her subordinates moved faster, it was originally a trivial matter of the morning and last night, but it was also over soon.
When picking flowers, Bai Qingshuang saw that Wan Niang directly picked the blooming flowers, but the kind of budding flowers were reluctant to pick them, so she couldn't help asking: "Sister Wan, can't you sell this budding flowers?" ”
"Yes! Everyone likes to bloom and thinks it's big and beautiful! Wan Niang looked at the not a lot of flowers, and said to Bai Qingshuang a little apologetically, "There are not a lot of flowers in bloom today, we can sell them out in about an hour!" ”
"That's just the right time to cook without delay!" Bai Qingshuang didn't care very much.
Originally, she was cheaper than Wan Niang, of course, she couldn't suspect that other people's flowers were less.
What's more, if these Wanniang sell alone in the afternoon, it will be enough, and if they divide a little bit by themselves, it will naturally become less.
After glancing at the flowers and plants in the garden again, and couldn't find a single blooming flower, Wan Niang told Xiaodou to accompany her grandmother and take care of the house, and went to sell flowers on the street with Bai Qingshuang.
The streets in the morning are indeed a little more lively than in the afternoon, and there are many girls and daughters-in-law who sell flowers for a living.
They probably all want to earn some money, so they all come out to sell.
There are also a lot of girls and daughters-in-law who buy flowers, and sure enough, as Wan Niang said, the business in the morning is much better than in the afternoon, and no one will bargain because of the short time to wear flowers.
Bai Qingshuang learned from Wan Niang to sell flowers, while paying attention to the varieties of flowers in the bamboo baskets of the flower sellers, and found that most of them were medium-sized hibiscus, peonies, roses, roses, etc., and they were mostly bright red, and there were no white and yellow flowers in general.
She thought about it carefully, and the flowers and plants in Wan Niang's courtyard seemed to be mainly medium-sized flowers, even if the jasmine and white magnolia flowers were blooming just right, she didn't see her pick them and bring them out to sell.
She probably knows that whether it is an ancient person or a modern person in the previous life, it is generally taboo to wear white on the head, and that is because there is a funeral at home, so what way should she think of to make those fragrant and white flowers live up to the spring?
Wan Niang's prediction was very accurate, in less than an hour, the thirty or forty flowers in the bamboo basket of the two people had been sold out.
Wan Niang sold it for forty-one yuan, and Bai Qingshuang was also good, selling it for thirty-five yuan, which was much more than Bai Yao's hard embroidery.
"Sister Wan, this money is for you, I only take fifteen wen!" On the way back to Wan Niang's house, Bai Qingshuang counted twenty coins and handed it to Wan Niang.
"How can this be done?" Wan Niang naturally refused to accept them, "If I don't have time to sell these flowers, I'll watch them wither." Moreover, if you hadn't helped me finish the housework, according to so many flower girls who came out to sell flowers today, I might not be able to sell them for forty-one dollars in the afternoon, and I would have to sell them cheaply if I wasted time! Therefore, I will not accept the money you sell! ”
"Then how embarrassing, I didn't have any strength, I just picked your flowers to sell, if the money is mine, I can't help it!" It was precisely because she knew that Wan Niang's family background was not good, that Bai Qingshuang felt that she couldn't monopolize it herself, "Moreover, I will pick some jasmine and magnolia flowers at my sister's house later!" ”
