γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
However, although Wang scolded the proprietress of the silk thread shop fiercely, she was not so stupid that she couldn't get along with money.
The price of the handkerchief on the side of the four pennies is twice as much as what they usually embroider! It just so happens that most of the fur colors on the cats are gray, black, white and yellow, which are the colors they don't use for embroidery, and they still have a lot of useless silk threads at home! Wang simply took out these threads and stuffed them to Chunzhi: "These are all for you, you should hurry up and embroider a few more cats!" β
Haruzhi is also happy to obey his fate. Originally, a few days ago, she could only embroider cats secretly, for fear that Wang would know and scold her. Now that this matter is publicly supported by the Wang family, what else is there to taboo about her?
She enlarged the cat that had been embroidered on the hydrangea a little bit according to the portraits Chai Dong had drawn for her, and embroidered it on the handkerchief.
This month, she spent most of her time embroidering cats.
When she went to town next month, the proprietress of the silk thread shop would nod her head with the handkerchiefs in hand.
"These are good! It's even better embroidered than the handkerchief last time, and it's sure to sell! β
"Did you sell that handkerchief last time?" Haruka asked in a whisper.
"Oh, it's sold." The proprietress immediately smiled again, "My man has been carrying the goods to the next village a few days ago, and he met a young lady from a rich man's family who wanted to buy silk thread, and then my man showed her the square handkerchief, and she liked it, and bought it for five cents!" β
She spread her fingers and gave them a five-to-five number. "You see, we're actually making your hard-earned money. My man walks the streets all day long, and the money he earns is not as good as yours! β
"Got it, got it!" Wang interrupted her impatiently, "So these handkerchiefs are still collected for four cents, aren't they?" β
"Oh my good sister, you're such an understanding and good person!" The proprietress nodded hurriedly.
Wang pursed his lips and threw the handkerchief directly. "You don't have to pour me ecstasy soup, hurry up and count the money!"
The proprietress hurriedly collected the handkerchief, counted the quantity, and turned to get the money for them.
After getting the money and going out, Wang's face became gloomy again.
"They definitely sold it for more than five cents! Otherwise, she wouldn't have accepted today's everything so happily! She huffed.
Harueda nodded. "I can see it too. When I went out just now, she kept telling me to embroider more next month, which means that they have definitely found a home! β
"This black-hearted one!" Wang couldn't help but scold.
But after scolding, they still have to accept their fate. No way, who told them to be short of money? Now they can't find a better way to sell veils.
Chai Dong stayed by the two of them, listening to the two of them scolding the proprietress and his wife together, he only kept a calm face and did not say a word.
It wasn't until he got home that he closed the door and said to Harue. "Actually, it's not impossible to get rid of their clamps."
Chunzhi's eyes immediately lit up!
"What's your idea again? Tell me about it! She jumped over and tugged at his sleeve.
Although it was autumn, the autumn tiger was still powerful, so the clothes on the two of them were thinly dressed. Now Chunzhi took the initiative to come to him, and the distance between the two of them was so close that as soon as he looked down, he could see a slight bulge on her chest, and the fresh girlish fragrance on her body also penetrated into his nostrils, causing him to feel restless.
He quickly withdrew his sleeves. "Speak well, just talk, don't move your hands and feet!"
Haruka was stunned for a moment before reacting.
She couldn't help but snicker twice and took a step back. "Got it, now it's okay, right? Can you tell me what you think? β
"Actually, the solution is simple. If you want to do a good job, then there are only two ways to go - either to be bigger or to be fine. Chai Dong said in a deep voice.
"But with our family's current conditions, there is no condition to make it bigger." Haruka whispered.
Chai Dong nodded. "Therefore, there is only one way to go. And the things you make now may be able to get your hands on in this small place in the town, but if you change to a larger place, I'm afraid it won't be brilliant enough. Just like the embroidery pieces we saw in the county last time, do you think you can compare to them? β
Harue shook her head. "Can't compare."
She is self-aware, and her basic needlework skills are okay, but she has only learned embroidery and color matching with Wang for less than a year, and she can barely be said to be a beginner. But compared to those embroiderers who have more than ten years of experience, her things can't be seen at all!
Of course, Chai Dong also understood her disadvantages, so he continued: "At the moment, we can't win in skills, so we can only start from other aspects." If you can, it's best to start from a place that no one else has ever considered, so that you can win by surprise and make a name for yourself in one go. β
Harue listened and nodded her head incessantly, like a chick pecking rice.
"Xianggong, you're right, you think really long-term! So, do you think of where you can start? β
Chai Dong put his face on the board. "I don't know how to embroider. Now I am only giving you advice based on my own knowledge of the general rules of the world. But as for where to start, I'm a layman, and I'm not going to point fingers at you. You'll have to find out for yourself. β
Let her find out for herself?
Chunzhi's face suddenly collapsed.
She had never thought of doing anything to make a name for herself in her life, let alone win by surprise! And under the current conditions, she really can't think of a suitable place to start studying.
Chai Dong naturally saw her entanglement. He slowly reached out and patted her on the shoulder, "I didn't say you have to come up with a way now. Throughout the ages, people who can achieve great things have never thought of a way right away, and not everyone can succeed on the first attempt. We don't have to rush, take our time. At least now a handkerchief costs four cents, and the price is okay. β
Harueda nodded hurriedly. "I see."
It's just that how can you win by surprise? She couldn't help but start thinking about it, so much so that she didn't get a good night's sleep for the next few days.
However, she can only lose sleep in the past few days. After all, immediately after that, the cotton in the field also began to bloom. The family began to get up early in the morning and go to the field to pick cotton, and the picked cotton was brought back to clean and then dried, and most of the cotton was dried and sold directly to the merchants who came to receive the goods.
The family of three is so busy that there is almost no time to drink saliva quietly at home, and the time is already at the end of the year.
In order to save Chai Dong for the provincial exam next year, the family specially planted cotton in the melon field this year. Most of the cotton harvested was sold, and it was exchanged for more than one or two points of silver, which of course were collected by the Wang family.
There were also a few small bags of cotton left behind, which the Wang family had specially used to spin and weave cloth for the family to make new clothes.
So they dried all the cotton and took it to the seeds. After the deseeding, only pure cotton remained, and Wang spun the cotton into threads, and when the threads were finished, they would weave these threads into cloth.
Because the fresh kitten handkerchief embroidered by Chunzhi now sells for more money, so now their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a clear division of labor - Chunzhi embroidery, Wang's spinning, and the two of them do their own work.
It's just that Wang is used to scolding, and now when she spins the thread, Chunzhi still hears her scolding.
"Get out of here, get away, don't come to me! I don't know if you're shedding? The cotton sold before, you just roll around on it, anyway, you can add some weight by dropping the wool into it, and it should be regarded as making money for our family. But now, this thread is being used to make new clothes for my son! When your hair falls in, the color of the thread and the cloth is mixed! I'm going to be laughed at when I go out in clothes like this! If you hear it, you guys hurry up and get away from me, don't mess up my family's line! Otherwise, beware of me taking all the hair off your body, I will see how you still lose your hair and how you come here to rub it! β
Harue was doing embroidery work on the side, listening to her scolding one after another, she couldn't listen to it anymore.
"Don't mess around over there, come to me." She hurriedly beckoned the cats to come over.
In this house, the cats listen to her the most. So as soon as Chunzhi's words fell, the cats who were originally dangling around the Wang family leaned towards her.
Chunzhi hurriedly put down the work at hand and touched their heads one by one. "Don't be sad, my mother didn't mean to be angry with you, huh?"
The cats meowed quickly, and they were very well-behaved.
Wang saw it in her eyes, and she snorted softly. "You don't touch them much, and beware of their hair getting on your thread and getting your thread spent!"
"I'm fine! It was originally embroidered with cats, so mixed with some cat hair on this, maybe it can make people feel more real! Haruka smiled and shook her head.
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly stood up.
