"Sister-in-law Fulin, for so many years, Yuchen has been taken care of by Zhao Lichang, I want to ask Lichang's daughter-in-law and his daughter to help, do you say okay?"

Sister-in-law Fulin nodded, "Yes, yes, so that the three of us plus you should be able to catch up." ”

"I can't do it here, I need to cut it, I have to go to the town to buy vegetables and meat, and the lunch on the other side of the house can't be delayed, you find another person, so you can catch up."

"In fact, there are a lot of idle women in the village, but we have to find people with good character, so that we can save trouble in the future."

Sister-in-law Fulin said while looking at the workers working there, and she suddenly opened her mind and said:

"Li Da's sister Li Xiaomei is good, she is fourteen years old this year, she is dexterous and flexible, otherwise call her again! If you hurry up and you should be able to do it all. ”

"Okay, listen to my sister-in-law." For Li Xiaomei, Tong Xiaowu has an impression, she is often with Chen Meili, her character is not bad, and when Chen Meili is not in front of her, she will secretly greet her.

Because the house has not been built yet, so Fulin sister-in-law called everyone to her house, Tong Xiaowu taught on the spot, she not only taught everyone the handiwork, but also promised that the product was qualified, and each doll was handmade for ten cents.

Here, Li Xiaomei was the youngest, and when she heard that there was money to be earned, she jumped up happily: "Sister-in-law, do you mean that you will still give us wages?" ”

"Of course!" Tong Xiaowu nodded as it should be.

"Hongzhu's sister-in-law......" Li Xiaomei reached out and grabbed Zhao Hongzhu's daughter-in-law Li: "We women can also make money, I'm a little excited!" ”

Li laughed, not to mention the countryside, even in the city, women who can come out to earn money are rare, not to mention earning more and earning less, just saying it can make people's faces shine.

In the past, she made all the meals at home, but now when her mother-in-law heard that she came to earn money, she promised that she would cook the meals for the next few days, and she felt happy when she thought about it.

"Let's hurry up with these 100 first, don't stop after we finish it, continue to do it, and I'll run as for the sale."

Regarding sales, Tong Xiaowu is not worried at all.

"Good!" Sister-in-law Fulin nodded happily.

Just do it, except for Sister-in-law Fulin, who has to cook for the workers at noon, everyone else is busy making dolls.

At the end of the day, these four slow people do about eight a day, and those who work overtime faster can do more than ten, and more than 30 in a day are completed.

The previous kapok was picked by Tong Xiaowu on the kapok tree on the mountain, but now they are very busy, so many dolls, it is not enough to pick kapok by one person, and besides, more and more need to be done in the future, how can it be used?

So, early the next morning, Tong Xiaowu set up a wooden sign in front of his house and asked Feng Yuchen to write on it: Collect kapok, two pennies and one catty!

When the workers who came to work saw the news, they hurried home to inform their families, and in a short time, the news blew up in the village, and all the idlers in the village set off.

Set out to pick kapok in the mountains, kapok is no better than cotton, cotton can be spun and weave, and there are more people who buy it.

Although kapok is elastic, it lacks toughness, and with a little force, the cotton silk will break, so the use value is not high, let alone someone will collect it.

Now, Feng Yuchen's family collects kapok, two pennies and one catty, although the price is cheap, but it is also idle when it is idle, it is better to go up the mountain to have a look.

There are many wild kapok on the mountain, which is not a rare thing, and after a while, someone picked a large basket and brought it to Feng Yuchen's house.

"Folks, our kapok doesn't need cottonseeds, everyone must sift it clean and bring it over......," Tong Xiaowu said loudly, for fear that others would not hear it.

So, the cooperating villagers went home to sift the cottonseeds.

But some people didn't cooperate.

"Yuchen daughter-in-law, your family has to sieve cotton seeds to collect kapok, Feng Daqing's family does not screen cotton seeds, I passed by his door this morning, and saw a sign erected at the door of his house, which also said to collect kapok? You're not the only one who collects kapok......"

"Really? Doesn't his family use to sift cottonseeds? When someone heard the news, he turned around and went to Feng Daqing's house with the basket on his back.

The others didn't want to bother, so they went home again and went with them.

There were a few people who had a good relationship with Feng Yuchen, so they went home directly and did what Tong Xiaowu requested.

Feng Yuchen looked at the villagers who had left, frowned slightly, he looked back at the woman beside him and asked, "Have you told others about talking to the owner of Fuyue Restaurant about business?" ”

Tong Xiaowu shook her head, "No, I didn't even tell Sister-in-law Fulin, I just said that someone ordered a hundred dolls, and I didn't say who ordered it." ”

"That's weird......"

Feng Yuchen felt that this matter was a little strange, but he didn't know what the problem was, plus the collection of kapok was the most urgent thing at the moment, so he didn't have time to think about it, and said:

"In order to have enough kapok, I went to borrow a sieve and let the villagers from the mountains sift directly at our house, so that I don't have to go home......

"Good!" Tong Xiaowu nodded in agreement, and saw that there were villagers on the mountain carrying bamboo baskets down the mountain, and after preparing to speak, she decided to stabilize the villagers first.

Sure enough, because Feng Yuchen prepared a sieve, many people stayed.

"Ten catties of kapok, twenty cents!" Feng Yuchen looked at the starflower on the pole while keeping accounts.

Tong Xiaowu handed over twenty yuan to the villagers.

"Twenty wen for a trip up the mountain, enough for my family to buy several catties of cornmeal, I'll go up the mountain again......"

"I'll go, I'll go......"

Even the children of the village set off with him.

Tong Xiaowu knows that if this business wants to be done for a long time, kapok must be collected enough, after all, kapok is only produced at this time.

The cost of cotton is too high, and the elasticity is not enough, so it is not suitable for stuffing into dolls, so this time, even if it is to borrow money, she has to collect a lot of money.

On the other side, Feng Daqing's family is also collecting kapok, and now some people are weighing in front of his house.

"It's not enough for eight catties, it's counted as seven catties, and it's fourteen cents!" Feng Daqing's nostrils were facing the sky, and he felt that he was amazing.

He also quarreled with Zhang Qinghua a few days ago, just because she went to Feng Yuchen's house to find trouble, he didn't dare to go to his house to find a job, now their family has built a house, and ten houses have been built, and a craftsman can earn at least two or eight seven.

And what about him, who was already a bricklayer, has been idle for many days, and the village finally got a job, and he was also stirred up by the mother-in-law, can he not be angry?

Because of this, the two of them have been angry these days, but they didn't expect that his daughter-in-law went out yesterday and brought him back a big deal, and he didn't have to contribute, today the family is short of kapok, and he just happened to help buy it.
