27 Tanabata
A lantern needs five luminous beads to make stamens, and a small bag is divided into such a small bag, but about thirty, the number is slightly less.
But selling it is rare and expensive, too much is not unusual, Qin Chuchu calculated, all of them can be sold to earn 1,500 Wen, plus silk flowers and the like, the income is quite considerable.
Building a house and wanting to make up twenty taels can't be done overnight, and she is already satisfied with this speed.
If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, beware of happiness and sadness.
In the next two days, Qin Chuchu was doing handicrafts with Fang Erniang in the courtyard, and he didn't go anywhere.
She took the scissors and cut the cloth according to the size of the model, Fang Erniang took the cloth and wrapped the concave wire into petals, and Liu Zigui was responsible for cutting the wire, as well as the final petal splicing and other hard work.
The three of them became an assembly line, contacting the pieces of flowers together, making sure that they were firm, and then they began to concave shape.
The center is matched with beaded flowers, and the large silk flowers that bloom are delicate and charming, layered and fake.
"No matter how beautiful it is, you can't eat it, fifty dollars is expensive." Liu Zigui couldn't help but mumble again.
Qin Chuchu didn't want to tell him so much, anyway, the pricing had already been decided, so he wouldn't listen to him.
No matter how you look at the lanterns during the day, they are just ordinary flowers, and only at night will they add to their charm.
"I thought my wings were stiff ......" Liu Zigui felt very uncomfortable, secretly scolded a few words, and got angry at Qin Ruoruo.
Soon it was July 1st, the people of Yang'an City liked to worship the gods, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, they were not allowed to put offerings to burn incense, and the streets were lively on this day.
The things sold by the hawkers have changed, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law who are preparing for the Qixi Festival have come out one after another, and there are not many people who worship the land temple.
Qin Chuchu and Fang Erniang each carried a basket of flowers and began to sell flowers along the way, while Liu Zigui, a big man, was inconvenient to follow and was driven to sell rice.
On the market day once every three days, Qin Chuchu pulled the porcelain out of the city early, traded rice through the system and put it in the warehouse.
Liu Zigui used to pull to the market to sell, and he was estimated to be busy alone, but there was no manpower allocated to him.
In two days, the family worked together to make a lot of silk flowers, and Qin Chuchu's fingers were red.
There are many people on the streets today, and the most obvious thing is that there are more young girls, walking in pairs, which makes their silk flower sales increase greatly.
Those beaded jadeites are all expensive, and the silk flowers in their hands are not only bright and beautiful, only two pennies each, and the price is naturally popular.
At the same time, there are also lanterns for sale, so big one, it is difficult not to attract people's attention, but unfortunately there are many people who ask, but there is no one who buys it.
Fang Erniang thought for a while and said, "Why don't you lower the price a little?" ”
"It's only the first day, so there's no rush." Qin Chuchu smiled and reassured.
She originally intended that this should be taken out on the night of July 7, and the temptation of the daylight was not enough, and it would not make people pay fifty yuan.
When she said this, Fang Erniang didn't say anything more, and quietly followed the sale of silk flowers.
Although she is not very good at selling, after so many days of exercise, her smile is much more natural in the face of the living.
At least not as stiff and awkward as it was at the beginning, and that's an improvement.
There were many people on the road, Qin Chuchu asked Qin Ruoruo to grab his sleeve, he was afraid that he would ignore this little guy when he was busy, don't lose his sister.
On festivals like this, some lawbreakers will also take advantage of the chaos, and human trafficking cannot be prevented.
"Ruoruo," Qin Chuchu touched the top of her head, and asked with a smile, "How about sending you to the academy when my sister sells all the lanterns?" ”
"Academy?" Qin Ruoruo's eyes widened: "What kind of place is that?" ”
Zhupai Village is very poor, there is no teacher, and there is no school, and it is reported that only a few people in the village who have gone to school are going to the next village.
Going to school has nothing to do with their family, so the young Qin Ruoruo has never even heard of it.
Qin Chuchu couldn't bear to let the children miss the opportunity to read and write at a young age, and secondly, they ran on the street all day long, and there were always times when they were not careful.
Qin Ruoruo is young and weak, so she can't help much, so it's better to send her to study, they are more worry-free, killing two birds with one stone.
Fang Erniang frowned and objected: "That's not possible, what's the use of a female doll's literacy, there is no spare money at home." ”
"That's why I said that I would wait until the lanterns are sold."
Qin Chuchu didn't expect that Fang Erniang, who had always been casual about everything, would object, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew it.
Fang Erniang is a very traditional woman, her mind is not active, and it is always right to follow the public in everything.
The people around her may not be able to go to school, and the girls are not half of them, so it is wrong for her to let Ruoruo study.
"If you're afraid that she'll lose it, just rest at home." Fang Erniang said.
Qin Chuchu glanced at her twice and didn't say anything more, but she just raised her mouth to make her a little mentally prepared.
It is not known whether there is a school for female dolls in Yang'an City, and Shu Yu has never inquired about it, so what is the use of arguing with Fang Erniang now.
The three of them walked from the north of the city to the east of the city, and then rushed from the east of the city to the south of the city, bypassing many streets along the way, and their legs and feet were so tired that they were about to break.
This is definitely the longest 'work' time, in the past one or two hours (equivalent to three or four hours in modern times) is over, today because of a lot of silk flowers, I have to sell until dark.
In the end, Qin Ruoruo couldn't stand it anymore, and the three of them went home.
Liu Zigui had already finished selling rice and went back, probably because he saw that they didn't come back, so he went to buy vegetables and cook them first.
In fact, if this person wasn't so greedy for money and lustful, Fang Erniang would be fine if he followed him, at least he wasn't that kind of lazy person.
"I also bought vegetables, but tonight it's too much." Fang Erniang put down the small basket, and the flower basket was almost empty.
Qin Chuchu rubbed his feet, his legs were about to cramp, and then he looked at the five-year-old Ruoruo, his face was full of vegetables.
"Buy an oil lamp tomorrow and come back, and continue to make silk flowers at night, otherwise there will not be enough to sell in so many days." She proposed.
Liu Zigui came to see Fang Erniang's back basket, and the silk flowers he brought were indeed almost sold out.
In order to prevent shortages on the way, they took too much, and there were not many finished products left at home.
"Let's go again tomorrow morning, I saw two silk flower sellers on the road, and I don't know how many will pop up in two days." Fang Erniang was a little afraid of being robbed of business.
"There are so many people, don't be afraid."
Today is the first day of the new year, if you can go to the foot of the temple mountain to sell flowers, then it is really crowded.
However, they didn't have any transportation, and Baba's walk was a bit of a distance, so it wasn't worth it.
I came back late, and it was dark after dinner, and it happened to be when there was no moonlight, so I could only clean up the mess in the dark.
Qin Ruoruo estimated that she was tired, and she was not excited all night, and she didn't talk much, so Qin Chuchu asked her to take a bath and sleep earlier.
She was sweating, and she didn't have a bath bucket for the time being, so she used a small wooden bucket to carry water for her to wipe herself.
Qin Chuchu took out the small porcelain bottle that was temporarily placed in the system, which was exchanged from the divine stick of cultivating immortals, which was said to strengthen the body, but it did not guarantee the effect.
After all, it was a functional thing, Qin Chuchu didn't dare to try it rashly, so he just let it go for a few days.
Now it's also because it's a little exciting, their bodies are too weak, and it's enough to choke after walking all afternoon.
Think about modern sister paper, shopping all day without shouting tired, that's not strong.
Qin Chuchu thought about it, he had to find a free time to test the medicine, and take half a pill himself to see the effect.
It was Qixi Festival at the moment, and she was still counting on taking the opportunity to make a fortune, so it was not appropriate to take risks, so she looked at the small porcelain vase and put it away.
Two days later, on the third day of July, people from various villages began to go shopping in the city, and the streets suddenly became more crowded.
There are also young girls who love to join in the fun, a rare time to play, everyone is smiling, no wonder it is said that the Qiqiao Festival is like the Spring Festival.
Qin Chuchu saw more and more lanterns appearing on the market, each with different themes and beautiful ones.
The lanterns are carried in the hand, while the river lanterns are lowered into the water and are mostly made of colored paper.
Seeing this very distinctive thing, she was a little moved, her system couldn't always be smooth, and nothing was placed.
If you need to, take something to poke another seller, and she hasn't been poked by anyone yet.
So I went to a stall that bought lanterns, asked the stall owner where he lived, and asked him to order a batch of lanterns after the Chinese Valentine's Day.
"Is this true, little girl?"
The stall owner is a man with five big and three rough, with a smile on his face and a big white tooth that is very kind.
Qin Chuchu nodded and said, "Don't look at my young age, will this kind of thing still fool you, it's not fun." ”
"Hahaha, I don't mean to despise the girl, our lanterns are all made by ourselves, my father has learned a lifetime of craftsmanship, and it is absolutely durable!" The man scratched his head and laughed.
The daughter-in-law beside him pulled him and said, "This idiot can't even report his own door......"
Saying that, he smiled at Qin Chuchu: "My man's surname is Chen, and everyone calls him Pigeon, I don't know the girl's surname?" ”
"Don't have your surname Chu, the name of the pigeon is interesting." Qin Chuchu watched the two of them come out to set up a stall, and it was estimated that the old father was pasting lanterns at home.
Looking at the various auspicious themes on the stalls, the lanterns range from round to square, long and short, and it seems that the craftsmanship is really good.
The pigeon said that their lanterns were best sold on a few major festivals, and that the old father was usually free, and it would not take long to make them after making a decision.
Qin Chuchu was even more satisfied with this, carefully wrote down their addresses, and visited them another day.
In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of July, during which Qin Chuchu's 'Firefly Flower' only sold two.
It's the last day, and Liu Zigui is so anxious: "I said that fifty yuan is too expensive, who is the big ghost!" ”
"Let's take a look on the streets tonight, and if it's still not popular, let's lower the price." Qin Chuchu did not object.
"It's long overdue!"
Dinner was prepared early, Fang Erniang bought a chicken back, half stewed soup and half stir-fried, another meal of meat after many days, and the family ate happily.
Qin Chuchu controlled that he didn't let Ruoruo eat more, he was afraid that he would be too greasy to digest, and it would be troublesome to make his stomach trouble.
Fortunately, their stomachs are still quite angry, probably because they have been full of porridge recently, and they have come back a little bit.
When you come to the street, many lanterns hang throughout the street, dispelling the darkness, and people walk together in new clothes, forgetting the boredom of life for a while.
