Chapter 176 Waste Utilization
"How much is this prince?"
Seeing that Tang Wanwan looked very fond of it, Wang Zicong told her that this was booked by a nobleman, and a pair of fur was no less than two hundred taels. If it is customized into clothes, it will have to add another hundred taels.
Tang Wanwan smacked her tongue when she heard this, this is too expensive.
Wang Zicong smiled and said: "This is not the most expensive, if there is a pure red one without miscellaneous hair, then it is called expensive." There are people who are willing to give out. ”
Sure enough, poverty limits the imagination.
Tang Wanwan saw that the fur they had dealt with was that the fur was a little broken, or the style was too old, and the color of the fur was too ugly. "Wang Gongzi, these are sold like this?"
Wang Zicong knew Tang Wanwan's family background, and it was estimated that he couldn't afford to buy a very expensive one, so he said: "Miss Tang, if you like it, just give some money." These are not worth much. A lot of times we put it away for a long time, and we throw it away. ”
Tang Wanwan asked, "Then how many more are you like this?" ”
"In the barn at the back, there are half a small room."
Wow, Tang Wanwan was so happy, she was going to make a small profit now, and in the end she spent a tael of silver and filled a cart. Wang Zicong even asked someone to help her send her home.
Mrs. Chen saw that Tang Wanwan had come back with such a lot of garbage, she was really a little crying and laughing, these furs had been a little strange for a long time. When she first pulled it back, Mrs. Chen didn't let her take it back, so Tang Wanwan asked someone to help unload it into the warehouse outside.
It took Tang Wanwan a long time to convince her mother that she was ready to turn these things into treasures. There are so many things, Tang Wanwan and her mother can't wash them all. Then Tang Wanwan spent money to hire two aunts in the village. Fifty wen a day, is to help clean these furs.
At first, everyone thought that Tang Wanwan was joking, who would spend fifty yuan a day and let someone help wash things. Those who often wash people's wages are only ten yuan a day, Tang Wanwan is a big wrong.
The two women got the money, as happy as something, and the next day everyone immediately rushed to Tang Wanwan's side to wash things.
It took them three days to clean and another three days to dry. After all the furs were ready, Tang Wanwan was ready to discuss with her mother to draw drawings and turn all the furs into commodities. Tang Wanwan is not a decathlon after all, she can say many things, but if she wants to draw it on the drawings and then make it, that's another matter.
As soon as Mrs. Chen heard her daughter's thoughts, she praised them: "Your ideas are good, but my mother is old." If you can't get these new tricks, I think you should find a good embroiderer in the neighborhood. ”
"Does that mother know who has the best craftsmanship among the young women in our Tangjia Village or town?"
"The craftsmanship is good, you may not be able to invite it, but I know that your third aunt has a niece who is very popular. Or my mother will run with your third aunt tomorrow. ”
"Then it's troublesome." After Tang Wanwan had dinner, she took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Mrs. Chen took some eggs from home and a bowl of braised pork to prepare for the third aunt. The third aunt is the only one who will not dislike their family when their family is down, and she is a warm-hearted person.
Now that their family conditions are better, Mrs. Chen is thinking of her friendship.
Coincidentally, when Mrs. Chen went to the third aunt's house, the husband and wife were eating, and when they saw Mrs. Chen giving meat, the husband and wife hurriedly said thank you. After tasting it, both of them said that Mrs. Chen had good craftsmanship and asked her how to do it.
Mrs. Chen said that it was nothing, and her daughter Ajuan's craftsmanship was much better than herself.
The third aunt was immediately very envious, saying that it would be nice if she had such a well-behaved, sensible and capable daughter. Mrs. Chen explained her intentions, and the third aunt didn't say anything after listening to the second word, so she said that they would go to her eldest brother's house. It just so happened that she hadn't been back to her parents' house for half a month, so she just went back to her parents' house to have a look.
Life seems to be back to normal, Tang Wanwan and the niece of the third aunt, Yinhua Girl, the two of them have designed a lot of new tricks, made a lot of good-looking scarves, hats, small pendants, and the most popular is the woolen mattress. The winter in Qilian Mountain is very cold, and sometimes the quilt is very thick, and there is still no heat on the body.
This woolen mattress is cushioned under the body, as if lying on a hot kang, so it is very popular.
Tang Wanwan put all these things on a cart and pushed them to the small market in Tangjia Village to sell. In less than half a day's work, all the good-looking things were robbed, and there were few things left. When Tang Wanwan was about to call it a day and go home, she saw a little girl pulling her mother to buy something.
The girl had come before, but she looked at it, didn't speak, and quickly ran away. Tang Wanwan was about to ask her what she wanted to buy, but there was no chance.
I didn't want this little girl, and when she saw that her favorite purse was missing, she suddenly cried anxiously.
"Mother, I said I was going to buy it before, you see that there is nothing left now."
Tang Wanwan asked her which one she liked, the little girl's speech was very clear, and the description was also very detailed, it was a small purse made of a fox fur tail, just where the tail was bent, according to the shape of the lining in it, and then with buttons, it was a purse that looked very cute.
Unfortunately, there were two purses in total, and Tang Wanwan kept one for herself, which was given to her when she was going to visit Xiaorou. Xiaorou performed well in Yonglin Pavilion, it was almost half a month, Tang Wanwan was going to see her, and by the way, she told her about the situation at home.
"Little sister, take a look at it, is this it?"
When the little girl saw the purse, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly grabbed it in her hand, and smiled happily at her mother, her eyes bent like a little moon.
It's so cute. "Mother, this is it, can you buy it for me?"
The little girl's maiden clothes looked a little old, and her face looked a little gray, if the girl didn't call her mother, she would look a little like her grandmother. "How much does it cost, girl?"
"This fifteen wen, you see that the workmanship is very fine, and the hair on the fox's tail is not variegated at all."
The woman looked at her purse and said, "This thing is indeed beautiful, but it can be cheaper." She reached into her pocket with one hand and touched it, it was probably less than fifteen yuan, if she bought this purse, the family would have no money to buy medicine. Xianggong injured his leg while carrying salt a few days ago, and he is still keeping it at home. Now that there is no labor force in the family, she can earn a few more money by sewing and mending for others.
Tang Wanwan observed carefully, and when she saw the woman's stretched look, she suddenly thought of the situation at the beginning of her family, so she smiled and said, "If the little sister likes it, take it, anyway, I'm about to close the stall here." ”
