Chapter 39: The Village Woman Stutters
In less than three days, almost all the schools knew that Shen Qingqing was making hot water bottles, and parents were sympathetic to their children's cold school, so the hot water bottles were sold quickly.
Buying it too quickly, it is not enough to rely on the skins sent by a person hunting in the forest.
One day, when Lin Zhong came to deliver the skins again, Shen Qingqing said directly: "There is something I still want to ask you for help." ”
Lin Zhong waved his hand: "If there is anything else to help or not, you can just say anything about it." ”
Shen Qingqing sat down and took a sip of tea: "Now the business of this hot water bottle is getting better and better, just relying on your skin is not enough, I want to ask you to help me collect some skins for the hunters in various villages, you can rest assured, these silver taels will not be bad for me." ”
Lin Zhong shook his head: "Let's not talk about the silver two, my popularity among the Orions is quite good, as long as you want as many skins as I want, I will collect as much as you want." ”
"Done." Shen Qingqing nodded, still very relieved about Lin Zhong.
After two days, the forest brought a lot of skins, and counted them to a total of thirty taels of silver.
Lin Zhong took the silver and prepared it for the hunters of each family, and when he just walked into the courtyard, Aunt Wang opened her mouth through the fence and said: "Yo, this forest has come to send skins again, I see that you have been coming here for several days in a row." ”
Aunt Wang and Shen Qingqing are only separated by a fence, and the slightest movement can be heard.
This Aunt Wang is also a person with a heart, and she has been paying attention to the movements in Shen Qingqing's house for the past few days, and she feels a little curious.
"yes, send some skins to their house." Lin Zhong muttered and left.
Aunt Wang touched her mouth, and her jujube-red skin was inlaid with eyes like fish and wood, which seemed to be a little more shrewd for this village woman.
She glanced into Shen Qingqing's house, then tidied up her clothes, and came to Shen Qingqing's house: "Sister Qingqing, what are you living for?" ”
Shen Qingqing had just put the skins away, and when she saw Aunt Wang coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "It's nothing, it's just some work to do in the winter." ”
Aunt Wang didn't hide her thoughts: "I see that you are busy enough these days, is there any way to make money?" ”
Aunt Wang helps Shen Qingqing a lot on weekdays, and she is not a person who wants to eat alone, so she told her about making hot water bottles from this skin.
Aunt Wang patted her thigh when she heard this: "Qingqing, your head is really flexible, I think this one is good and you can make a lot of money." ”
"yes." Shen Qingqing nodded. "This leather can be used not only to make hot water bottles, but also leather boots, and I think there will be a lot of people who will buy it."
"That's right." Shen Qingqing nodded again and again, looking at Shen Qingqing and lowering his head again.
Shen Qingqing looked at her and was embarrassed to say anything, so she tentatively asked, "Aunt Wang, do you want to join this job too?" ”
"That's it." Shen Qingqing smiled innocently. "Qingqing, I won't tell you the truth, although the family can support you with the work of your Uncle Wang and Xiao Wang, it is not considered rich, and I am also idle in this winter, thinking that I can subsidize a little family is to subsidize a little family."
Shen Qingqing sighed: "Aunt Wang, if you have this idea, tell me earlier, what is the relationship between the two of us, how can I refuse you." ”
Shen Qingqing has long regarded Aunt Wang as half a relative.
Aunt Wang raised her hand: "Cheng, Qingqing, I'm relieved to have your words." I'll be here tomorrow. ”
"Okay." Shen Qingqing responded in one bite, cleaned up the housework in the house, washed all the pots and pans, and read that Xiaodouding was about to get out of school, so he was ready to start cooking dinner.
This day passed day after day, and the situation in the family was getting better day by day, and Shen Qingqing felt satisfied.
Just after breakfast the next day, Aunt Wang changed, and the whole Xiao Wang family was behind her.
That little Wang was unhappy with Shen Qingqing before, but today he came to see people's faces, so his expression was a little strange.
Shen Qingqing didn't hold grudges, and directly took Xiao Wang's hand: "I see, your daughter-in-law is very diligent with her hands and feet, and her eyes are also shrewd, so it is the most suitable to do this job." ”
Hearing Shen Qingqing say this, Xiao Wang raised his head, and his face was ashamed: "Qingqing, I ......"
With that, she swallowed all the words. In the end, he just nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in the future." ”
This little Wang just suffered the loss of no culture, but people's eyes are not bad, and they also know what is good and bad.
Shen Qingqing asked the two of them to be pulled to the sewing machine and taught them how to make hot water bottles and leather boots.
Aunt Wang finally hesitated: "Qingqing to tell you the truth, your business here is good, but you also know that our family has no extra spare money, in case we make these things and can't sell them, wouldn't it be a loss?" ”
Aunt Wang also has something to say, and she has all the worries in her mind.
This is a question, Shen Qingqing thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, you should come to work for me, I will give you the money to start work, how about I take out the hot water bottle and leather boots I make and sell them myself?" ”
This is unbelievable for the village woman, and Aunt Wang and Xiao Wang agreed again and again.
Although the unskilled chain was a little slower at first, the two people in the back were more and more diligent, and they had already made half a basket at night.
Thinking that Xiaodouding was about to go home, Shen Qingqing hurriedly cooked some dinner.
She bought a chicken from the town, stewed a pot of black chicken soup, and ate it with azuki beans, and fell asleep with the warmth in her stomach.
This person is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and I don't know who spread it Shen Qingqing taught others to make hot water bottles and leather boots at home, and made a lot of money, and the next day, several village women came to Shen Qingqing's door.
These village women are all concentrating on the stove, and they do a lot of housework. Seeing Qingqing, they were also a little embarrassed: "Qingqing, we heard from Aunt Wang that you make hot water bottles and boots at home and sell them for money, and a few of us also want to come over and have a look." ”
Saying that, those village women rubbed their hands, very embarrassed.
Shen Qingqing looked at their cramped eyes, after all, she relented, and hurriedly agreed: "This is indeed there, if you are not too hard, you can do it if you are willing to do it." ”
"That's nature." The village women all smiled, and now Shen Qingqing is their God of Wealth to be held.
These village women had been beating drums in their hearts before they came, after all, Shen Qingqing's reputation in the village was not very good, but when they saw it today, they felt that it was not as rumored.
"This kind of broken mouth mother-in-law's mouth is really deadly, I think this Qingqing is good, how can it be like a tigress as they say."
The other person hurriedly nodded: "Yes, I think this young girl is really a good person, and that broken-mouthed woman is talking nonsense." ”
Shen Qingqing heard these words in his ears, and his heart was also beautiful.
Shen Qingqing pulled them into the room, and carefully explained how to do it, a few of them understood slowly, Shen Qingqing respoke a few times before he understood, and said: "Ladies and aunts, you should understand this, these leather boots are ten cents a pair, and the hot water bottle is three copper plates, do you think this price can be accepted?" ”
"Absolutely." Those village women are idle at home anyway, and it's too late to be happy to earn some silver taels, where will they bargain.
It's cold outside in winter, but Shen Qingqing's house is really busy inside, and several village women are sitting and gossiping while working, laughing from time to time, which is very lively.
But Shen Qingqing thought about much more than that, when she saw these village women and the forest, she found that most people add some cotton wool to their clothes this winter, although they are warm but do not carry the wind, walking on the street one by one is like being beaten in the neck, is there any way to look at this silver tael from these things?
Shen Qingqing kept thinking about this in her mind, and after delivering the glutinous rice dumplings from Zhen Qian Restaurant, she looked at Zhen Qian with a scarf around her neck, but she had an idea: "Yes, since you can make hot water bottles and leather boots, how can things like scarves and woolen sweaters not be made?" ”
Thinking that Shen Qingqing did not go back to the village directly, but went to the livestock market.
This market is quite large, pigs, cattle and sheep are barking everywhere, and as soon as you enter, there is a fishy smell.
Shen Qingqing covered her nose, and the boss saw Shen Qingqing coming over and greeted him very enthusiastically: "Sister, what are you here to buy?" Sheep and pigs, what are you here to buy? ”
"Nope." Shen Qingqing shook her head. "I'd like to buy some wool."
"Wool?" The boss frowned, it was the first time he had heard such a request,
The sheep had to be cut off after a while, but all the hair was thrown away, and few people wanted to come and buy wool.
Shen Qingqing didn't explain, and directly took out some silver taels and put them in the boss's hand: "Boss, look at it." ”
The boss's face is beautiful, and giving him the wool will not affect the growth of the sheep, and he can earn some silver taels for nothing.
The boss saw that Shen Qingqing was generous and kind, so he asked the guy to send the wool to Shen Qingqing's house.
When the village women saw the wool, they were also blind, and they didn't know what to do.
Shen Qingqing made a move first and kneaded the wool into small strips: "This wool, we can use it to knit scarves and sweaters, and it will be warm to wear on the body." ”
"Oh......"
These village women didn't seem to understand when they heard it, but since Shen Qingqing said so, they did the same.
