Chapter 111: The frightened little apprentice

"Little girl, do you want it?" The merchant asked.

"Don't!" Xia Qiqi did not hesitate for a moment.

Hua'er and Duo'er looked lost, but in order not to embarrass the eldest sister, the two little girls still said in unison: "Eldest sister, we don't like this head rope, let's go see other things!" ”

Xia Qiqi didn't miss the loss in the eyes of his two younger sisters.

She touched Hua'er and Duo'er's little heads, lowered her head, and whispered in their ears: "Don't worry, my sister will make these trinkets!" Now let's go to the shop that wholesales these things, buy some flower cloth, head rope, and buy some beads, what I made for you must be much better than this! ”

The flowers and flowers had big mouths and looked surprised.

"Let's go!" Xia Qiqi said with a smile.

She said that when she went to the small shop that wholesaled these things, she really asked the people around her where they could buy these things.

In fact, these raw materials are generally available in small grocery stores.

It's just that there are not many people who really have the patience to string those beads one by one and make jewelry or headdresses that look like them.

The ancient head rope was not what is called a leather band in modern times, but a kind of rope made of cotton or silk.

Only poor families use headbands, and rich families use hairpins or hairpins and other headdresses.

Xia Qiqi stopped in front of a grocery store, led his two younger sisters, and walked to the grocery store.

In the grocery store, it really has everything as others say.

Not only the raw materials for making beads and head ropes, but also the unformed beads and hairpins that need to be processed.

Wooden, copper, and even silver!

Xia Qiqi stood in front of the counter, unable to move his feet.

At this time, a young woman in her twenties walked up to her and said, "Like these hairpins? Or a hairpin? These are unprocessed and cheap! Many little girls bought them from me and took them back and made them themselves! ”

"Why does this hairpin sell ????" Xia Qiqi pointed to one of the wooden hairpins, on which even the patterns had not been carved and looked bare.

"If you want it, I'll sell it to you for two cents!"

"This hairpin, if it is carved, how should the price be calculated?" Xia Qiqi asked.

"Carving? It depends on what kind of flowers you carve, if it is ordinary, no one can look down on it, and it is naturally worthless! ”

"If it's a peony or a flower?" Xia Qiqi asked.

"The starting price of 30 yuan depends on the workmanship!" Woman.

"I ...... Can you take these back and process them and sell them here? Xia Qiqi asked.

"You?" The woman looked Xia Qiqi up and down.

It's just a mediocre little girl.

He was followed by a tall man and two younger girls.

Can this girl be carved?

"Yes, that's me! But I can't do this for a long time, I can only make one or two once in a while! Xia Qiqi said.

During the day she had to do business, and in the afternoon she could go back to do some carpentry work.

Carving is some fine work, not ten days and half a month, can not complete a finished product!

"In this way, you spend money, buy a semi-finished product and go back, when it is ready, when it will be brought over!

I'll help you sell it elsewhere, and if you sell it, what if you give me 20%? The woman asked.

Xia Qiqi naturally agreed.

As long as it is a job that can save money, she will do it.

She bought some more materials for the headband, and with the happy expressions of her two younger sisters, she paid for it.

Before, I bought a head rope from the merchant for five cents a piece. But here, for five cents, she bought two feet of material for the head rope, almost forty centimeters.

You can make four or five head ropes.

In this way, the merchant is really going to heaven.

One head rope will return the capital, and the remaining four are all earned, which is more profitable than her making buckle meatloaf!

Xia Qiqi took some flannel cloth and some flower rags, because they were all fine fabrics, which were cheaper than the price of the head rope.

Xia Qiqi was in the grocery store, and spent a total of twenty yuan to buy everything she needed.

Even the bead flower bought a small handful, which is enough to go back and make a lot of bead hairpins.

When he went back, Xia Qiqi bought some more food, which can be regarded as a full load.

The two younger sisters, because of the beads and head ropes that Xia Qiqi bought, didn't feel any pain in their feet at all.

From time to time, they looked at a large bag of things that were put on the wheelbarrow by Xia Qiqi and pushed by Lu Jiu, and their faces were full of silly smiles.

Xia Qiqi looked at this scene, happy and distressed.

The two younger sisters, since they were born, have been bullied by the people of the Lao Xia family.

Just because she is a girl, she is not even qualified to go to the main house for dinner.

Not to mention, the head ropes and flower clothes that other people's families have.

They can't do anything but watch.

Fortunately, the days are gradually getting ahead, and in the future, she will be able to save more money, and she will be able to buy more good things for her sisters!

……

……

The next day, Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu went to the town together to make plum vegetables and meat cakes for Babaolou.

She first went to the dock to get her own custom-made stove, and took the necessary tools with her before going to the Eight Treasure Building with Lu Jiu.

Outside the door of the Eight Treasure Building, Chef Sun's apprentice was already standing at the door.

Seeing Xia Qiqi, the little apprentice was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise:

"You...... Are you the girl who sold my master's wild things? ”

"Yes, I'm also the chef who makes baked cakes for your restaurant!" Xia Qiqi said with a smile.

"Oh my God, my master didn't recognize you! Hurry inside, breakfast is ready for you!" ”

The little apprentice led Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu to the restaurant.

It can be seen that Chef Sun's face is quite big.

I even arranged a private room separately.

Xia Qiqi looked at the table in the private room, the meal that had just been served, and it was still steaming, and she looked at Lu Jiu beside her.

Very good, this kid, has taken a fancy to this table.

Clearly, though, it's not enough!

"Little brother, I'm afraid this meal is not enough!" Xia Qiqi said cheekily.

"It won't be enough, these are the amount of food for three or four people, and there are only two of you, it must be enough!"

The little apprentice looked determined.

Xia Qiqi didn't want to hit him.

only said: "My cousin is born with divine power, and he is also an expert in eating!" If you don't believe it, look at it. ”

After Xia Qiqi finished speaking, Lu Jiu was already on the table.

She's easy to deal with, just a bowl of porridge and a little pickles.

But Lu Jiu's rice bucket is different.

Pick the meat to eat, a table of meals, but a stick of incense time, eat clean.

He put the bowl in front of Xia Qiqi and looked at Xia Qiqi with a well-behaved face.

There is no need for him to say it, Xia Qiqi knows what it means.

The little apprentice next to him almost couldn't stand on his feet when he saw this scene.

- It's over, the restaurant is going to be eaten!
