Chapter 156
"The county lord wants to collect duck feathers? Some have, not to the autumn and winter, the ducks raised at home are hard to grow fluffy, and they can't be cleaned up, we generally slaughter the ducks before the winter, you want to collect duck feathers This is easy, directly let people go to each house to be, do not charge money. ”
Aunt Peng waved her hand, she wanted to take over this job, but Mingxiu has so many people in her own family, she must be faster than her alone, and she is not good to be a good person in vain.
"It's not duck feathers, it's duck down, it's what you just said, the duck will grow in the autumn and winter, how much our family wants, if you don't like the trouble, just buy the whole duck to us, and we will pay according to the market price."
Mingxiu doesn't want to take advantage of the people in the village, if this business gets up, it must be a long-term thing, and Mingxiu won't do this kind of killing chickens and eggs with short-term cheapness to sacrifice long-term gains.
"That's right." Aunt Peng thought for a while, "I'll go to each house and talk about it later, this eiderdown is something we don't want, if the county lord wants to just go and get it, what kind of silver to talk about." ”
Anyway, it's all going to be thrown away, and it still takes up space at home, and it's a good thing to be able to give Mingxiu a personal favor.
"That's not the case, I have to sell things for money when I collect them, how can I be embarrassed to take the things of the villagers for nothing? In this way, if the eiderdown is cleaned, I will collect it according to ten cents a catty, and if it is not processed, it will be three cents a catty, how about it? ”
It's not cheap!
You must know that this year's rice is only 15 wen a catty! This is still the price at which it was said that there would be a war last year!
Two catties of duck down that no one wants can be exchanged for more than a pound of grain?
Who wouldn't do such a good thing?
Aunt Peng's eyes lit up, "I don't know how much the county will collect?" ”
"I want as much as I want."
The living conditions of the villagers in Peony Village are not very good, and there are not many families with livestock, let alone the number of ducks, so she is afraid that she will have to think of other ways when the time comes.
"Okay, I'll go and tell the people in the village, I'll pack it up for you and send it to you!"
With Mingxiu's blessing, their village will have a better time this year!
Seeing that Aunt Peng was leaving, Mingxiu hurriedly stopped the person again, "Auntie, there is one more thing I have to ask you." ”
"You say what you say."
Mingxiu took a breath, feeling a little embarrassed, "I want to find a few honest women in the village, you know, I have a lot of family, but there are not many people who can do needlework, no, winter clothes have to start to prepare, and they have to be sent on the spot when it's cold!" ”
"This is simpler, everyone in the village can order needlework, if the county lord doesn't dislike our clumsy hands and feet, just find a woman and you can cut clothes."
Who will buy ready-to-wear from a farmer's family? Every family bought the fabric and came back to make it themselves.
And now Mingxiu is not easy to be able to make clothes?
The left and right are not to be worn by their own family, just for the next person, so isn't it okay to wear it?
Mingxiu bowed slightly, "In addition, there is a job to make money for the villagers, and you have to do your duty, otherwise if something happens, my store will not be able to open, and the villagers' work will be gone, right?" ”
Aunt Peng nodded again and again when she heard this, although she didn't know what kind of work it was, but Mingxiu had no reason to deceive her, and she listened to whatever she said.
"Thanks to the trust of the county lord, leave this matter to me, I will definitely take care of the matter for you, and when the time comes, I will ask the women to come to the door to take the work, and when the clothes are finished, I don't need to say what kind of people are like them, the county lord himself has a clear eye."
No one doesn't like to be slapped on the back, Mingxiu is naturally no exception, she couldn't close her mouth when she heard Aunt Peng's words, "Where is there such an exaggeration that Aunt Peng said?" After all, I am young, and I still don't see people as well as old people. ”
After complimenting each other for a while, Aunt Peng left and went non-stop to share the good news with her good sisters.
Of course, she didn't forget Mingxiu's advice, the ones she looked for were all the ones she thought were her duty, and she had to go through Mingxiu's eyes and go through her screening to know.
The Ming family has not been so lively since they moved over, and those who come and go are either to ask about things like eiderdown and duck feathers, or to come to the door to recommend themselves to make clothes and embroidery girls, adhering to Mingxiu's instructions, Ming's mother called a person who did not refuse.
As a direct saying, as long as the eiderdown is a qualified product, and the dirty ones are not sold as clean, how many are collected according to the order, and the ones that Mao Sui came to be the clothes girl, she also picked up seven or eight that fit her eyes.
Bai Lu was a little puzzled, "We girls are more or less able to do some needlework, and there are many idle girls and daughters-in-law at home, why should the county lord go outside to find someone to make clothes?" ”
Is it because you dislike their craftsmanship?
The egret was a little injured.
Glancing at her, Mingxiu said, "How many people are in the family?" How much do you want to make in autumn and winter? There are also winter quilts and so on, if it is handed over to you to do, will you still be able to do your own work? Besides, I didn't just let them make clothes. ”
Making clothes is just an investigation, to see how many of those people are safe and restless, their family has not been in Peony Village for a long time, and they have little interaction with the villagers, so they can't say that they understand anyone.
Looking for someone must start from the beginning, and you can't be negligent at all.
When the egret heard that it was for them to make clothes, he was moved, "The county lord treats us so well, if we are not faithful, then we will really be thundered by the sky." ”
"Don't mention the faithful or not, it is important to do the work in your hands well, otherwise I will be blinded by my investment in you."
Mingxiu's words are really not empty words, in order to let the people under her work with peace of mind, she really has not been negligent in logistics.
From living in a house to eating as usual, it is not bad at all, although it cannot be compared with their master's family, but it is much better than the slightly poorer families outside.
At least the white rice, white flour, chicken, duck, and fish are not bad, and such a day is good for these people who are born poor and have to sell themselves into slavery.
Therefore, these subordinates can be said to be grateful to Mingxiu's family.
Since the opening of Mingji, many people have come to inquire about the formula, promising to redeem Sanniang's family, and even giving them more favorable conditions than Mingxiu, but Sanniang has never been moved.
They didn't even mention it to Mingxiu in order to increase their family's treatment.
In the hearts of Sanniang, Bailu and others, Mingxiu not only bought their masters, but also had the grace of reinvention for them.
"The slave must work hard."
Mingxiu looked at the egret for a long time, and her scalp was numb when she saw it.
"When the shop I want to open next is on the right track, I will also give you a shop to operate, so that my egret can also have a big future."
The ambition in Bailu's heart is no less than that of Sanniang, she is younger and harder.
Mingxiu saw all this.
It's just that Bailu is different from Sanniang's stability, she wants more experience, and Mingxiu has never mentioned it.
But now she doesn't have enough manpower, so she naturally has to promote people.
"Lord of the county, slave maid...... Slave ......"
The egret was reluctant to have a good day by Mingxiu's side, but the bait that Mingxiu put in front of her was too tempting, and she didn't know how to choose for a while.
"Think about it, it's still a long time, I'm afraid it's a year before you go out and take charge alone, and in the meantime, you can come and tell me if you have a decision." Mingxiu looked at her lightly, "Just one point, if you decide it, you can't change it, and it's useless to regret it when the time comes." ”
"The slave knows about it, and she will think carefully."
