Jiang Mengliang was calculating in his heart, making a plate takes a lot less time than making a bamboo basket, but the price is the same, and he will focus on making bamboo plates in the future, and he can earn several times as much copper plate as before in a month.

When I thought of this, I couldn't hide my excitement in my heart, and a smile appeared on my face unconsciously.

He flipped the dozens of dollars in his hand, carefully put it into his arms, and hummed a small tune to push the cart towards home.

When passing by the butcher shop, he looked at the white oil on the board, looked very pleasing to the eye, and said to the owner of the butcher shop: "Boss, weigh me five catties of plate oil." ”

Yesterday, the wild boar had too much lean meat on its body and very little oil, so in order to be able to eat fried vegetables with lard at every meal, Jiang Mengliang was rare and generous.

Although it cost fifteen yuan, Jiang Meng's conscience was very comfortable and continued to rush home.

For more than ten days in a row, Jiang Mengliang stayed at home and forgot to eat and sleep and weave plates, with all kinds of patterns, because the more he knitted, the more comfortable it became, so he innovated several more patterns.

Jiang Xiaonian looked at Jiang Mengliang, who seemed to be enchanted, and didn't bother him anymore, the idea of stone grinding in his heart could only be put aside for the time being.

And these days, from time to time, she brought one or two wild things from the mountains, which effectively improved the family's food, although it was not much, but it made the whole family's faces rosy a lot.

When Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui were lying in bed at night, they had to sigh, their daughter was simply sent by the heavenly gods to save them, otherwise how could life be more and more hopeful!

Half a month later, Jiang Mengliang put the two large bamboo baskets on the board cart, and the newly woven bamboo plates were placed in the bamboo baskets, and Zhou Huihui and the two rushed to the town.

He still had some worries that if he made so much and no one bought it, the grocery store owner might have to make him wait a while to make it.

Listen to the wind first.

The couple came to the grocery store with a familiar car, and as soon as they arrived at the door, the guy who was standing outside the store and looked at it casually shouted excitedly: "Boss, this little brother who makes dishes is here!" ”

When the grocery store owner heard this, he immediately put down the abacus in his hand and walked out of the counter, and greeted him: "Eh, you're finally here, I'm worried that you won't come until a month!" ”

Jiang Mengliang looked at the enthusiastic boss with a blank face, and bowed and said, "The boss is rich, I don't know what happened?" Did something go wrong with what I was doing before? ”

The grocery store owner smiled: "No, the things you make are delicate and durable, the bamboo plate sold well last time, and many people have come to order!" Did you bring it this time? ”

When Jiang Mengliang heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Bring it, I've done a lot of it for a while!" ”

Saying that, together with Zhou Huihui, the two moved the plates in the bamboo basket to the store.

The grocery store owner took a cursory look, nodded, and said, "Well, yes, it's all beautifully done, and the big families in town should like it." ”

After counting the points, there were a total of one hundred and twenty, and the grocery store owner still bought them at the price of three cents each, and Jiang Mengliang and his wife got three hundred and sixty cents.

When the two of them held the copper plate in their hands, some of them were as if they were in a dream, but they didn't expect to earn more than 300 yuan in just half a month!

If this continues, in three months, you can earn two taels of silver for honoring two old people every year, and the rest can be saved, in addition to the usual necessary expenses, you can also save four taels of silver a year.

The grocery store owner saw that they were stunned in place with the copper plate, and said again: "Little brother, I will take all the plates when they come to me in the future, but don't take them to other houses!" ”

Jiang Mengliang came back to his senses at this time, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back and do more, and I'll send it here." ”

"Well, let's come once every half a month in the future, so I can let you know the market, and then decide whether to continue to do it or not."

When this bamboo plate first came out, everyone felt that it was fresh, and the demand would definitely be great, but in a few months, it might be enough, and when every household bought it, there would be no need for so much.

Jiang Mengliang nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll come once every half a month in the future." ”

After collecting the money, the two walked out happily, and when they were about to bend down to push the cart, they accidentally bumped into a person.

Jiang Mengliang didn't look at it, only lowered his head and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

In fact, there was no need for him to apologize, because the person didn't pay attention and hit him, but Jiang Mengliang was honest and sincerely apologized.

"Yo, who am I? It turned out to be a little uncle, why don't you come here to buy something? ”

It was a young woman dressed in red linen with her hair in a bun and a jade hairpin on her head, and another woman standing beside her.

"Mrs. Jiang, is this the useless little uncle you once mentioned?"

Jiang Li did not shy away from speaking at all, and after glancing at Jiang Mengliang, he snorted lightly: "The Jiang family is the only one who is not angry. ”

"You! How can you say that I'm in charge! Zhou Huihui glared angrily.

Jiang Mengliang pulled her sleeve and sighed: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with her, let's go back first." ”

Jiang Li rolled his eyes.

"Mrs. Song, let's go, go in and see if the boss's bamboo plate has arrived, so you don't have to blow the wind at this stall and catch a cold."

As soon as she heard this, Zhou Huihui was happy, and after throwing a smile at Jiang Li, she followed Jiang Mengliang away.

Come and spend money on their stuff, what else is there to worry about.

It wasn't until Jiang Mengliang and his wife were far away that Jiang Li came back to his senses and shouted at their backs, "Hey, what is she smiling at me?" Yin and Yang are weird, and the diaphragm should kill me. ”

The woman next to her smiled flatteringly: "Mrs. Jiang, don't worry about this kind of countrymen, they are all uneducated people, how can they compare with you, a talented lady?" ”

Jiang Li pinched the handkerchief in his hand hatefully, and then turned around and entered the house.

Jiang Mengliang and his wife's mood was not affected by Jiang Li's family, they made money, and everything was pleasing to the eye, when passing by the grain store, Jiang Mengliang thought that the rice he bought last time was almost finished, so he waved his hand and bought another twenty catties of rice.

The two didn't go around much, and pushed the cart straight home.

Because I went out early, I didn't delay much, and I had already returned home before the sun was overhead.

Jiang Mengliang carried a bag of rice and walked to the kitchen with a smile, wanting to take this thing and shake it in front of his baby daughter, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find a figure, and he didn't know where Jiang Xiaonian went.
