Chapter 20: A New Way to Make Money
Cornmeal, rice, and lard cost one hundred and fifty-five wen, so that there was only forty-five wen left, and I wanted to buy a clay jar filled with water, but I thought that my son's clothes could not be mended, or they would be too small to fit, so I gritted my teeth and bought a set of ready-to-wear clothes for my son, and a few pennies to buy my son two strings of sugar gourds and two rice baba.
In the past, Jiang Lanqing always heard some mothers say that they were reluctant to eat and flowers, but they didn't say anything when they spent on their children, and now she understands this heart.
As a mother, she is really willing not to eat or drink, but also to take care of her children, hoping to give him the best.
Yang Shumiao has been following Jiang Lanqing, seeing Jiang Lanqing's behavior in his eyes, when he saw Jiang Lanqing buy clothes for Jiang Jingshuo with the money to buy a clay pot, he was very happy, many people don't understand why she is good to Jiang Jingxuan, in fact, it is very simple, Jiang Jingxuan's previous experience is very similar to her.
For as long as she can remember, her mother has always disliked his father's inability, and he is patriarchal, and she either beats or scolds her, and then her mother went to work in a big family, and never came back, and his father was not willing to go to her mother to come back.
Jiang Jingxuan's clothes are thin, and the injuries on his body can be seen at a glance, and then thinking of Jiang Lanqing's character, he can't help but see his own shadow on Jiang Jingxuan.
Now, Jiang Lanqing's change will be good for Jiang Jingxuan, and she naturally feels happy.
In a good mood, it seems that everything is pleasing to the eye, Yang Shumiao thought that the day of marriage was getting closer and closer, and some things should already be purchased, so he took Jiang Lanqing to go shopping.
Walking to the jewelry store, Jiang Lanqing was attracted by the peach wood pendant hanging on the counter, and asked the store, the price is not low, a small peach wood talisman costs 130 Wen, a small sword 150 Wen, and a gourd 200 Wen.
It's worth a lot of money, isn't it?
Knowing that these peach pendants were consigned by others here, they only needed to give the store 30% of the profit at that time, Jiang Lanqing's eyes lit up.
She can carve a few of these little things a day, and the fancy style is not the same, so can she also carve these things to make money?
In her previous life, because she couldn't walk, she liked to stay in the house, so she fell in love with carving, and over time, she became a senior carving master, and carving mahogany pendants was a breeze for her.
With a plan in mind, Jiang Lanqing was cheeky and borrowed fifty wen from Yang Shumiao to buy a carving knife.
When she knew that Jiang Lanqing could carve, Yang Sapling's eyes almost popped out, but the more capable Jiang Lanqing was, the happier she was, so that the life of their mother and son would be better and better.
The poplar saplings walked around, and they harvested a lot, Jiang Lanqing bought a few things, but he was in a surprisingly good mood, seeing that it was not early, and there was nothing to shop, the two squeezed out the crowd, went out of Qinghe Town, and rushed home.
After a day of crowding on the crowded streets, as soon as the crowd came out, the air suddenly felt a lot fresher.
The two of them were talking and laughing and rushing back, and while they were talking, they saw a carriage parked in front of them, and there were many people around the carriage, and the people in the carriage were crying and crying, and they didn't know what was happening, and the road was blocked by them, and the two could only squeeze on the side.
Before he could squeeze out of the crowd, he heard a female voice come from the carriage: "Old lady, old lady, how are you?" Don't scare the slaves! The woman called a few times, as if the old lady in the carriage was not in a good situation, the woman lifted the curtain, and anxiously said to the driver: "Uncle Zhao, the old lady seems to be in a bad situation, you quickly turn back to the town and ask the young lady and aunt to come over." ”
