Chapter 39: Brilliant Ideas
Therefore, the hand stove is their most popular heating tool, but the hand stove is also inconvenient, because of its small size, it cannot stuff too much fuel, if the fuel is not replenished in time, there is no heat at all after the fire is turned off, and it can only be consumed like that.
The heating effect of the leather hand cage is the best, put a pair of hands into it, that comfortable and comfortable~ Unfortunately, not everyone can enjoy it.
Where would ordinary people come up with a few taels, a dozen taels, or even dozens of taels of silver to buy those things!
Gloves can be different, you can bring them to warm anytime and anywhere, and it is easy to put away after taking them off, the key is that they are cheap and anyone can afford them.
Now is a peaceful and prosperous era, and there are still many families who can afford to send their children to school. In their village school alone, there are thirty or forty children in it, not to mention the age, how many must there be in their town alone?
People also like to compare, if other people's children wear gloves, but their own children do not, this is absolutely not allowed.
It's just a few pennies, and of course parents are happy to look this way for themselves.
"Ah Chen, why do I think you have more and more ghost ideas now, are you still the Ah Chen I know?" Da Zhuang's voice sounded faintly, but it made Sun Chen's heart skip a beat, and a cold sweat broke out in an instant.
"Hehe, what are you talking about? I said I'm not, do you believe me? Sun Chen calmly made a dry joke with him.
"Hehe, I believe it...... That's weird! ”
……
It would take two days to prepare the cart for the big iron bucket for roasting sweet potatoes, just in time for Sun Chen to go to the town to buy the things he needed to make gloves.
If nothing else, Sun Chen should come to the town every day to sell roasted sweet potatoes in the future, and he can't push the cart and the big iron bucket back and forth every day, right? Even if he could stand it, the car and the big iron bucket couldn't stand it.
So he went to Pork River first and asked him how much it would cost to rent a small warehouse in the market. Pork Jiang is also enthusiastic, he directly led Sun Chen to find the manager in charge of the market, and helped him to do all these things before leaving.
Coming out of the market, Sun Chen found the cloth village that he had just come to with Erniu two days ago, and the things needed to make gloves could be prepared here.
The boss of the cloth village was very attentive to Sun Chen, a big customer who helped her sweep the tail, not only the lowest price of the cloth head, but also gave Sun Chen two pennies cheaper per pound of cotton, and also gave Sun Chen a few long needles for sewing clothes, which is a good thing.
When she rummaged through the cloth head in the warehouse, she also found two white cotton cloths that had been backlogged for several years, and simply gave them to him according to the general price of the cloth head. The fabric is not damp at all, but it is a little yellowed because of the long time, Sun Chen touched it with his hand, it felt very delicate and smooth, and it should be very comfortable to wear when he made clothes, he nodded secretly, this thing is very suitable for making a few sets of underwear.
After buying these, Sun Chen hired an ox cart and pulled a cart full of things to Zhuzi's house.
"Auntie, these things cost a total of three taels of silver plus four hundred and fifty yuan, these two pieces of cloth are one for our family, and they are used for underwear, and the boss of the cloth village will weigh them according to the price of the cloth!"
"Just remember how much money you spent, tell me what are you doing? I just want something~" Aunt Zhu took the fabric and looked left and right, "Except for some yellowing, this fabric is really good." ”
"That's not good, auntie, since we are doing business in partnership, we must have the appearance of a partnership in business, and my brother will settle the accounts. I've thought about it, you and Erniu Yanzi have to keep track of how many gloves they make, and then we have to pay you wages first, and then we will make money and lose money. ”
"I can't help you, you can do whatever you want, I'll listen to you anyway." Aunt Zhu reluctantly agreed.
"Da Zhuang is going up the mountain again?" Sun Chen asked.
"Yes, your Uncle Tie Plough said to go on a few more trips while it doesn't snow, and when it snows, the cat won't go out at home."
……
Back at home, the second girl was burying her head in making gloves.
Gloves are simple, but if you want to sell them and sell them at a good price, you need to have something that attracts people. No one is a fool, you can't just sew up a few pieces of cloth and ask someone to pay you ten cents.
Sun Chen thought, there can't be much change in the material, so he can only play a little clever, add some decorations to the gloves, and make it look like a small animal, it should be okay.
The people who can go to school are all boys, and the animals they like, tigers, lions, monkeys, and dogs, each of them make a look, and then let others follow it freely.
Yesterday when he came back from Da Zhuang's house, he tried to draw a few looks, so that Erniu could make them as samples first.
But he overestimated his pair of heavenly handicaps, and the images he drew could be said to be miserable, mixing several pictures together, and even he had to distinguish them for a long time before he could distinguish them clearly.
Helpless, he can only say through oral description, picking up the characteristics of several animals, fortunately, Erniu's comprehension ability is really super strong, just through imagination, he pieced together these perfect products in front of him.
"I'll take these tomorrow to Aunt Zhuzi and them, let them compare them with your style, and then look at the matching by themselves, and the things that come out of this should be very popular. Erniu, you are really a good helper for my brother! ”
was praised by her brother, and the second girl was so happy that her eyes narrowed into a slit, "Hehe, right?" I'm amazing, right? ”
"It's amazing!" Sun Chen nodded heavily, "Say it, whatever reward you want, my brother will buy it for you~"
"I," Erniu seemed to be a little speechless and stopped, she really rarely had such a situation, just when Sun Chen thought she wouldn't say it again, she suddenly spoke.
"Brother, I want Fennel to help us make gloves, okay?"
"Fennel?" Sun Chen frowned, is the second girl's new little sister recently?
"That's it, it's the fennel at home~" My brother doesn't like to talk and do things with mud and water, and he doesn't like the people around him to perfunctory him, so the second girl can only explain honestly.
"Oh~"
It turned out to be the simple oil bottle brought by the Wang family, how did she get mixed with the second girl?
Because he didn't want to see Sun Yang's face, whenever there was something he wanted to send to his father, Sun Chen was sent by the second girl to run errands, and they could get in touch with it, it should be at that time.
...... "Brother, did you agree or not?" Can you give a reply?
The second girl saw her brother's thoughts and didn't know where to go, so she pouted and rolled her eyes in anger.
Ever since his brother woke up from that high fever, he looked like an idiot and looked at a place more and more often.
Alas, I don't know when he will come back to his senses this time, Er Niu sighed, picked up the things at hand and continued to get busy.
This brown fabric is thick and tight, and it must be wearable, so make a pair of gloves for Daddy and send it. In the winter of previous years, he would often go to the town to sell firewood to subsidize his family, so as to save his hands from being frozen again.
