Chapter 6: Buying Cloth (1)
Zhihua is actually very envious of Grandpa's feelings, and this kind of mutual affection is the most affectionate confession.
"Now that we've decided to do it, we have to do it well." Grandpa took a bite of the dish and said slowly.
"That's nature. Although we will not do this business for a long time, the quality must still be guaranteed. "When it comes to business, Zhihua also retracts his thoughts.
"I'm twenty-three years old. There are six days left until the end of the month. We have to make all the flower baskets before we are fourteen. There are still three acres of land at home, which can be planted in two days at most. Father Fang said.
"Why don't you do it. Early the day after tomorrow, my eldest brother and sister and I went to the market to buy the materials we needed. There are many willow trees in our village, so there is no need to worry about the materials for basket weaving. When the time comes, Auntie, Grandma, my second sister and I will be responsible for making peaches. Grandpa, Dad, and Big Brother are in charge of making flower baskets. "Knowing the painting is a division of labor for everyone.
"What about me, what about me? And me! Third sister, why do everyone have a job, but I don't. As soon as Zhishu heard it, he was an idler, so he immediately quit.
Because the past two days have been planting in the field, and the work is relatively light, this little guy is clamoring to go to the field. Not to mention that he helped a lot. Bring tea and water to the adults, and look at the seeds in the ground.
This morning he went to the field again, and when he came back, he was very hungry, and he had been suffering all the time. Now I probably have some stock in my stomach, and I am alive again.
"Yo, don't eat anymore?" Zhihua teased him.
"People are hungry, so they eat seriously, what does the third sister do to make fun of others." Zhishu twisted the corners of his small clothes, and his two faces were red.
"Yes, I don't dare to make fun of you as a branch secretary." Zhihua has a scared expression.
"I don't believe it?" In fact, Zhishu didn't understand what Zhihua meant by the branch secretary, but he knew that the third sister must be teasing him with bad intentions again.
"Alright, alright, the little one won't tease you." Zhihua saw that the little brother was too ashamed, so he hurriedly made a gesture and begged him for mercy.
Watching these two living treasures amusing the boring children, the big guys laughed heartily.
In this way, the matter of selling flower baskets is decided.
The days flickered, and it was two days later. Today, only Grandpa Fang, Grandma Fang, and Daddy Fang went to the field.
Since there was only half an acre of land left, everyone decided to let Fang Aniang and Zhiqi go to the market together.
When I heard this, I thought it would be good. They are going to sell fabrics, although the eldest brother is older, but in the end he is a boy, and he and his sister are too young, what if they are deceived!
So, the five of them went to the town together.
Today is a small gathering once every three days, and the second master in the village drives an ox cart to pull people. Because she was carrying a child, Fang A-Niang gave up a few dollars to ride in an ox cart.
There was straw on the ox cart, and Zhihua felt that it was still a little hard to sit on. At this time, the road was a large dirt road, and because of the rain two days before, the road was crushed with potholes. Zhihua was a little excited when he first sat down, but then he only felt a headache. Damn, it's so upside down.
Finally, it took nearly half an hour to arrive at the gate of the town, and the big guys got off here. The second uncle had to rush back to pull some more people, so he didn't go into the city.
The five Zhihua Niang took out a total of eight copper plates, two copper plates per person, and Zhihua and Zhishu counted one person.
"Third sister, this city is so big, and the city walls are so high!" Zhishu sighed in amazement.
Zhihua rubbed his body bones that were about to be turned upside down, and took the time to look at the big city in Zhishu's mouth.
The walls are made of bluestone, and it looks like it has been around for some years, and it has a quaint feel. The city gate is arched, with a large stone plaque on a black background, and the town of tranquility is written on it. I saw that the word silver hook iron painting, implying might. It is said that this character was personally mentioned by the founding emperor Emperor Chengzu. When he came here in battle, he saw the misery of the people, so he inscribed on it that he was peaceful. Later, when the country was reunified, these two characters became the name of the town.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zhihua, and she wants to hurry into the town now.
