Chapter 13: The Road
"Don't joke Sheng Rong, if this batch of quilts is not sold, we won't be able to recover the cost." Jiang Yuanyuan said solemnly.
Sheng Rong shrugged helplessly.
"Actually, I didn't plan to sell it, I contacted a rich merchant once, if the silk is made, I am going to give it to him, after all, only if he feels it, he will buy it, and I am 90% sure that he will like it."
"That's ......" Jiang Yuanyuan didn't understand this, but Sheng Rong said this, she could probably understand that this was paving the way for future sales.
"Then you won't be able to earn back your costs for a while." Jiang Yuanyuan was a little depressed, "But it's okay, the road is paved, and it will be easier for us to make money in the future." ”
Sheng Rong smiled, he knew that Jiang Yuanyuan would understand.
"This rich businessman is doing business in various places, there are more than a dozen of his shops in the capital, he is very rich, if the silk is satisfied with him, we will give him the goods in the future, and he will sell it, we will receive a lot of orders, and we will earn more." Sheng Rong fished out the cocoons in the pot.
"Okay, don't think about it, let's go and peel the cocoon." Sheng Rong said, picked up the basin, and motioned for Jiang Yuanyuan to follow him.
Although Jiang Yuanyuan understands the reason, she still feels a little distressed, these silkworm babies have spent three hundred taels of silver, and if they don't return at all now, this is equivalent to no matter how many orders there are, Sheng Rong's money can only receive a part.
Because it is Jiang Yuanyuan who is in charge of the money, Jiang Yuanyuan knows very well that their current money is only enough to buy two batches of silkworm babies, according to their experiments, a batch of silkworm babies can almost make a quilt of five-foot cloth, they now have two batches of silkworm babies, there is money to buy two batches of silkworm babies, if they don't make money back, it is almost equivalent to bankruptcy.
Trying not to think about this, Jiang Yuanyuan felt that she should believe in Sheng Rong, thinking about it like this, it didn't seem so difficult to accept, as long as she had to believe in Sheng Rong, she could do it easily.
The steps of silk are inseparable from water, and the cocoon without water cannot be peeled off at all, and it must be easily peeled off in water, so these steps are carried out in the water tank.
The second child of the Wu family is a taciturn person who doesn't like to speak, but he is very serious in his work, and he learns very seriously, better than Jiang Yuanyuan, at least he is much less torn than Jiang Yuanyuan's.
The two of them were busy for a day, tearing half of the silkworm cocoons, and the next day, Jiang Qian and Chen Mofan came to help pull it, and it was almost done, Jiang Yuanyuan and Sheng Rong rushed to the evening to pull everything out, cook it and put it in the drying room.
Finally finished, and the two went home together.
"Well, I forgot to say, I can't come tomorrow, my uncle wrote to my family a few days ago that they had another child, my mother said to go and see, so tomorrow we have to go to the county, maybe the next morning will be back." Jiang Yuanyuan yawned, "I'm going to trouble you these days." ”
"It's fine." Sheng Rong said, the two walked side by side, Jiang Yuanyuan wanted to raise her hand to rub her eyes, but the raised hand suddenly collided with Sheng Rong's hand, and suddenly a strange feeling came from the palm, Jiang Yuanyuan subconsciously clenched her palm, and it happened that Sheng Rong also clenched her hand, and the hands of the two were unexpectedly clasped together, and there seemed to be some subtle change.
Jiang Yuanyuan hurriedly withdrew her hand, put her hand behind her back, and held her right hand tightly with her left hand, which had just been pinched.
Sheng Rong raised his hand and clenched his fist against the tip of his nose, his ears were a little hot, he looked at the road ahead, and suddenly hoped that the road would be longer.
"Hmm...... Well, I'll trouble you in the next few days. Jiang Yuanyuan lowered her head, "I'll bring you something to eat when I come back!" ”
"You can keep it for yourself." Sheng Rong chuckled twice, he looked at Jiang Yuanyuan who was bowing his head, raised his hand, and put his big palm on the top of Jiang Yuanyuan's head, he was nervous to death, especially afraid that Jiang Yuanyuan would dodge, seeing that Jiang Yuanyuan did not dodge, he was happy in his heart.
"That'...... I'll go back first. Jiang Yuanyuan didn't dare to raise her head with a red face, she felt Sheng Rong's hand on the top of her head, and even her neck felt hot, she dared to say that her neck must be red, which was simply too embarrassing.
Sheng Rong looked up and found that they had already gone home, and withdrew his hand, Sheng Rong felt a little regretful in his heart, but he felt satisfied.
"Hmm."
Jiang Yuanyuan buried her head and walked back, she felt that Sheng Rong was looking at herself, so she didn't dare to look back at all, and quickly closed it after opening the door left by Jiang Muliu, and in the remaining gaps, she saw Sheng Rong who was still standing in place looking at her, Sheng Rong's eyes were very gentle, Jiang Yuanyuan had never seen this look, as if there was a gentle sea in her eyes, and she would fall into it if she looked at it.
Closing the door, Jiang Yuanyuan leaned against the door, thinking about Sheng Rong's eyes just now, Jiang Yuanyuan covered her face and squatted down.
She seemed to have fallen into the ocean.
"Yuanyuan?" Jiang Xuan came out of the house, "You're finally back, when you come back, hurry up and wash and sleep, I'll go to sleep first." ”
Saying that, Jiang Xuan was about to go back to the house, but seeing that Jiang Yuanyuan was still squatting on the ground and not moving, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xuan walked over.
"Brother~" Jiang Yuanyuan raised her head, her cheeks were red, and there was a faint mist under her eyes, "I fell into the sea." ”
"Huh? What did you say? Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Yuanyuan in confusion, not understanding what she was talking about.
"Alas! Anyway, I told you that you don't understand. Jiang Yuanyuan stood up and waved her hand, with a smile on her face, her eyebrows fluttering, covering her face and jumping forward, "Ah~ The sea, it's so comfortable!" ”
Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Yuanyuan's back with a black question mark face, feeling that his sister might be crazy.
It seems to confirm that he likes Sheng Rong, and his dreams at night are gentle, like being held on a soft feather and floating in the sky, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and swimming in the world.
The next day, I got up early in the morning, Jiang's mother prepared a lot of things, eggs and a lot of food at home, and on the way there, I went to a butcher's house to take advantage of the fresh noodles to get two catties of pork and two catties of pork bones.
I slept too late last night, I got up too early today, Jiang Yuanyuan was a little unenergetic, she fell asleep in the corner when she got in the car, and she didn't wake up until she got to the place.
My uncle went to my aunt's house, and my aunt's family had a house in the county, and after they got married, they moved their family here to do business, selling some dry goods, and in general, the business was average, and they could feed the whole family.
But this shop is not in the county, but on the edge of the county, because the uncle belongs to the rich, so Jiang's mother rarely comes to the uncle's side, afraid of gossip, and the relationship is also very light, naturally not much enthusiasm, this time because there is a happy event, so I came on purpose, and I am ready to go back after dinner.
Because there is no place to park the ox cart at the uncle's house, they still put the ox cart in the car dealership, and the group carried things on foot, Jiang Yuanyuan carried the basket in one hand and Jiang's mother in the other, because it was still early, so it was the most lively time here, and they also took a stroll by the way.
The door of the uncle's house was hung with a sign saying that it was closed, and Jiang's mother stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?" With a question, the door was opened, and the uncle was very surprised to see Jiang's mother, "Xiao He, you... You ......"
