Chapter 27: Making Money for the First Time
It was the season now, and almost no one in the village knew about it, so soon the two sisters' backpacks and bags were full.
After thinking about it, the two discussed, went home, found some bags again, and ran again.
Looking at the few bags full of bags in the yard, the sisters were very happy, if they could really exchange money, they planned to hand over the money to their grandmother Liu.
At present, eating and living at home, in addition to the immobility in the hands of the mother, we should also find ways to supplement some household expenses.
In this regard, Jin very much agreed, before, she wanted to give all the money in her hand to her mother, but Liu said that she didn't want anything.
There was no way, she could only put it away in case she needed it.
"Xiaojia, Ming'er, you go to the town, run a trip to the Ruyi embroidery workshop, find a person named Jin Niang, and help me pick up some light embroidery work."
I wanted to go by myself, but I thought that Gu Lao Er was in the town, and her body was inconvenient, so the Jin family had to entrust this matter to her eldest daughter.
"You take this, and she will know it's me at a glance." gave a handkerchief to Gu Jia, who was Jin's embroiderer.
"I know, don't worry." For more than four months now, it is also good to move more, so Gu Jia has no objection.
Knowing that she was going to the town, the Liu family also explained some things, and it happened that the family needed to buy some things, and when Gu Jia went to the town, she could bring them back by the way.
"Xiaojia, bring me something too." Fang Shi remembered something, and took out a handkerchief from his body, wrapping it with a dozen copper plates.
Now that she is pregnant, she is inevitably hungry and wants to eat, and it is not easy to get out of the public school, so she pays out of her own pocket.
"This money should be able to buy two small packets, one for me and your mother." She knew that Jin was also pregnant, "Sister-in-law, I won't take you anymore!" ”
"When I buy it back, if you don't take me, I can grab it." The relationship between the two is good, Liu laughed and joked.
"You kid, what do you want to eat to tell your mother, and you still need to pay out of your own pocket? Xiaojia, give the money to your second aunt, this money grandma is out. ”
Glaring at Fang with a smile, Liu took back the money he had given before and exchanged it for a small piece of silver horn.
In this way, no matter what you buy, you will have enough, and there will be a surplus.
"If my mother gives me money, I'm welcome, Xiaojia, you buy more, there are not many opportunities like this."
Fang Shi took the copper plate with a smile and joked with his mother-in-law, Gu Jia looked at the harmony between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her heart was warm.
This is the atmosphere that a family should have, and she has always been worried that going to the town by herself and picking up things from the buyer will make the two aunts feel uncomfortable.
In case something is expensive, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain when I come back, but now that I look at it, I know that I am careful, and the two aunts don't mean it at all.
They trust themselves very much, and even when they give money, they deliberately give more.
After explaining everything and collecting the money, the next day when they were busy at home, the sisters took their things, spent a few copper plates, and took a car to the town.
Outside the pharmacy, Gu Jia went to the pharmacy first, asked a few words, and knew that the medicinal materials were also accepted, so he took the guys to see what they brought.
"Yo, it's quite a lot, you wait for me to call someone to weigh it." The medicinal herbs are in pounds, and it is said that they will be taken out before and repacked in the bag of the pharmacy.
This is to prevent someone from confusing the real with the fake, Gu Jia understands this, so he waits patiently.
The busy work of the sisters yesterday was not in vain, and the medicinal materials they brought weighed more than a dozen catties, and the wet ones were not as valuable as the dried ones, but they also had six pennies a catty.
If it is dry, it will rise to more than ten yuan a catty, and the sisters don't have that time, they can get six yuan a catty, they are already satisfied, and they are unexpectedly happy.
There are two kinds of medicinal materials, and the other is paid according to the size and appearance, and the sisters didn't find much, plus some were not preserved, so they got a total of more than 130 copper plates.
For the sisters, this is a huge amount of money, because the two medicinal materials brought by the sisters are not bad, so before leaving, they agreed with the pharmacy that within this month, they will receive all the materials they bring.
After collecting the money, the sisters left happily, the bag was packed in the basket behind Gu Jia, and the sisters took the money and bought all the things they needed to buy according to the instructions of the family.
When she was shopping, Gu Jia suddenly thought of something, and she suddenly felt a little grateful, grateful for the TV and novels she had watched in the past.
When the things were almost bought, Gu Jia took Laidi and found a stall selling meat, she came with the attitude of trying it out, after all, she didn't know if it was true in the novel and on TV.
"Uncle, do you have a pig intestine or water or something?" After hesitating for a moment, Gu Jia tentatively spoke.
Hearing the inquiry, the big man who was chopping meat raised his head and looked at her, "Yes, yes, but no one eats that thing, if you want it, you will take it for ten cents?" ”
Seeing that it was two little girls, the clothes on their bodies were not very good, and the big man stretched out his hand and pointed to a large bucket on the ground, full of pigs in the water.
These things are usually taken home and fed to dogs, because no one eats them, and even if they do occasionally, they are the kind of people who are not in good condition and can't afford to eat meat.
They will buy a little less, chop it up, and mix it in the food that already smells strong, so that when they eat it, they won't feel like they can't eat it.
Dahan thought that Gu Jia and Gu Laidi were like this, so they didn't ask for more money.
That big bucket of pigs went into the water and fed the dogs at home, but it could be eaten for several days.
"I'm going to do it all!" Gu Jia was happy in her heart, although the life at home was not too difficult, meat was rare, she didn't expect to sell it for money, and it was good to eat it at home.
After finding something, filling all the sewerage, and paying for it, Gu Jia thought about it, asked the uncle a few words, found a shop, and bought some things needed for the brine sewerage.
She keeps the price of everything in mind, even if she doesn't expect to sell it for money, it's good to know the cost.
"Sister, what are you buying those things for?" made a retching look, Gu Laidi looked disgusted.
"You'll find out later." With a mysterious smile, Gu Jia's mood at this time was as good as it could be.
"Let's go, go to the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop, and then you can go home." When the sisters arrived at the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop, Gu Jia showed the handkerchief to the person named Jinniang according to what the Jin family said.
Jin Niang looked at the sisters and asked a few words, then found some embroidery work and handed it to the sisters, "I have to work at the end of the month, but the price is better this time, so I have to work hard." ”
Now there are less than ten days before the end of the month, Gu Jia has seen the drawings, and it is a little complicated, so she is a little hesitant.
"There's no such thing as an easy one, even if it's a little cheaper." Right now, my mother is pregnant, so it's good to pick up some simple ones and do them at leisure.
Like this, Gu Jia was worried that her mother's pressure was too much and she would exhaust herself.
"That's it, it's simple, and there's more time." Jin Niang was refreshed, found some more, and handed them over to Gu Jia.
