Chapter 42: Business is booming

Early in the morning, Dong Xianglang knocked on the door of Hua Qingyan's house with a large amount of copper coins, and looking at Dong Xianglang's elated appearance, Hua Qingyan knew that those head flowers must be selling well.

Hua Qingyan was busy in the yard all day long, so I didn't know, the first day Dong Merchant picked up those new head flowers, and before he left the mountain village, he was stopped by a few women, they looked at the delicate head flowers in Dong Lang's burden but couldn't take their eyes off it, it was even better than the head flowers seen in the town market, and it looked like it was real, lifelike! They all asked Dong Shanglang for the price.

The price was set by him and Hua Qingyan early in the morning, the head cost 20 wen each, and the head rope was cheaper, 2 wen for 10 yuan.

Hearing this price, the women who were eager to try it changed their faces, "Your flower is too expensive, and it's the same price as meat!" Dong Shanglang, this business can't be so unkind! ”

"That's it! Your flower is good-looking, but how can we, the peasant daughters-in-law, have time to bring this, and you will definitely not be able to sell it! The woman said so, but she kept holding the flower in her hand and never let go.

In fact, in addition to the time when she got married, where did the woman in the countryside bring jewelry and head flowers, and those who deal with the loess are plain every day! But they love beauty but also pick a flower on the side of the road and pin it in their hair, so that they feel very beautiful.

It is indeed not worth it to buy a head flower with the money of 20 wen to buy pork.

But what woman doesn't love beauty, this flower is so exquisite, the petals are stacked and beautiful, but it's the first time I've seen it in my life!

Dong Lang has been running for a while, so he naturally learned to look at people's faces, where would he not understand the thoughts of these women, and said with a chuckle: "Look at this flower, the material is the top, both the color and the pattern are very beautiful, and then look at this handiwork, it is not comparable to the embroidery girl in the village." I'm already trading at a loss. ”

When Dong Shanglang said this, the women also knew that there was no room for the price to turn. The woman who was reluctant to pay for it had to put down the head flower in her hand reluctantly, and if she had money on her body, she was not stingy and directly took out 20 Wen to Dong Xianglang, picked a favorite one from the burden and pinned it directly to the bun, and said to the onlookers: "Help me take a look, is it good-looking?" ”

Not to mention, after bringing this flower, the whole person's appearance has improved a lot, and everyone is amazed, which naturally attracts a lot of jealousy.

Before he left the village, the head flower had already sold five flowers, Dong Merchant Lang smiled, although he could only get three layers of one hundred Wen, but he was already much more tired and tired than he usually ran, so Dong Merchant Lang was more and more grateful to Hua Qingyan in his heart.

No, the thirty head flowers made by Hua Qing Yan Bier and Li Xiu have been sold out in two days, because the head flowers are out of stock, and in the end, even the head rope was snatched up, and the business is unprecedentedly good!

Dong Lang thought that he couldn't always use Hua Qingyan's clothes materials, so he went to the town's cloth village to collect a lot of leftovers and came back, although it was not as good as Hua Qingyan's clothes materials, but it should be able to sell it if the price was lowered. It wasn't early in the morning that he brought the silver and scraps he had earned these days to look for Hua Qingyan.

This is the second time that Dong Shanglang has stepped into Hua Qingyan's yard, and seeing that a lot of furniture has been added, there is no empty house before, and he can't help but admire Hua Qingyan's flexible brain, and he can always find a way to make money. He heard about Hua Qingyan's purchase of flower balls, and immediately asked his daughter-in-law to come to Hua Qingyan to buy a lot of seedlings and plant them. Hua Qingyan is also kind, and only wants to symbolically receive two cents.

Hua Qingyan was processing the potatoes that she dug up last time, because the amount was quite large, she only ate half of it last time, and the other half was placed in a dark and damp corner by Hua Qingyan, and within two days, the potatoes were full of tender green shoots. Didn't Hua Qihua's father give her two acres of land last time, the land deed has already been delivered, and she plans to plant these sprouted potatoes in the ground, and after the harvest, whether she eats them herself or sells them to Guanlanju.

Dong Xianglang followed Bi'er into the house, and saw Hua Qingyan squatting on the ground fiddling with some earthy yellow bumps, although he was curious, he didn't ask, and sat at the table in the hall and waited for Hua Qingyan. At this time, Bi'er sent a bowl of tea, Dong Shanglang looked at the bright color in the black ceramic cup, and was surprised, there are still small chrysanthemums in this tea! Dong Shanglang took a sip of the cup, and the sweet and refreshing taste made him shiver, but the taste of the tea made him a little unable to put it down.

Bi'er looked at Dong Xianglang's appearance that he liked it very much and drank it very much, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This is my sister's flower tea made with wild mint and fresh tribute chrysanthemum, which has a miraculous effect on clearing heat and relieving fire." If you drink it on a hot day, the taste will be better, like the mint taste is a little cold now, of course, you can not put mint. Brother Dong, if you like, you can take wild mint and gongju back, and let Sister Xiuxiu drink it, it's very simple. ”

Dong Lang's honest face was a little red, and he said: "How embarrassing is this, my family has already got a lot of things from your family!" ”

Bi'er smiled and didn't speak, so she went to find some oiled paper and wrapped some wild mint and gongju, and asked him to take it back when Dong Xianglang left.

Hua Qingyan had already used a knife to cut the potatoes into small pieces according to the germination position, and waited to plant these potato pieces after going to see the ground. Potatoes are very adaptable, and the weather here is quite warm, Hua Qingyan thinks that if she plants it now, she will take care of it a little more on weekdays, and she will be able to harvest it in February and March next year.

Hua Qingyan washed her hands, walked into the hall and sat down opposite Dong Xianglang, looking at the two burdens on the table, a little puzzled: "Brother Dong, what are these?" ”

Dong Shanglang put down the cup and opened the two burdens, "I bought some leftovers that the cloth village doesn't want, they are all brightly colored, Qingyan girl to see if you can make them into head flowers, so that you can save your clothes." After all, it's a pity to cut such beautiful clothes, maybe one day you can use them! ”

Hua Qingyan picked and chose in the pile of cloth, indeed, as Dong Shanglang said, they were all leftovers that could not be used, with strange shapes, and none of them could be used for a long time. There are a lot of colors, and they look pretty good. However, the fabric of the cloth village in the town is naturally incomparable with that of the capital, and it looks a little dark. Hua Qingyan also found various colored threads for knotting and a few pieces of tulle. On the whole, she was quite satisfied, Hua Qingyan didn't brush off Dong Lang's kindness, nodded and accepted it, "It's very good, you can use it, if it sells well, you can go and get more back in the future." However, after all, it can be used for a long time after buying one, and after this period, I am afraid that the business will fall a lot. ”

Dong Lang had an epiphany, except for the ladies and ladies of big families, who would have so much spare money to buy flowers. The women of the village can carry one for a long time!

The two of them settled the account again. Thirty head flowers, ten pairs of head ropes, a total of seven hundred and fifty Wen. Dong Shanglang took his own two hundred and two Wu Wen happily walked out of Hua Qingyan's house, he felt that the road in front of him was really bright, and he must follow Hua Qingyan's footsteps in the future!

As soon as Dong Shanglang left with his front foot, Hua Qingyan followed him out. The two acres of land given by Hua Qi were not far from her home, just across the low hill next to her house. The location is good, there is a small river in front of it, but the ground is unbearable to look at.

These two acres of land, to say that it is good, are overgrown with grass, and what is unpleasant is that it has not been cleared of wasteland! Not only is it full of weeds, but there are also large and small stones, and even a big tree, which is worse than the wasteland in the village!

Hua Qingyan can imagine that this land is estimated to have been bought by Knowles back then, and the title deed was in Hua Qi's hands after Knowles left, and she has been hiding it for so many years, until now she wants to give her two acres of land, and she is reluctant to take out the good land at home, isn't this just right!

After Hu Baizhi finished the task given to her by Hu Langzhong early in the morning, she came to play with Hua Qingyan, but met Zhou Xiaoyan on the way, that is, Zhou Rong's sister-in-law. Zhou Xiaoyan was still carrying a basket in her hand, the basket was full of ripe peaches, and she was heading in the direction of the north of the village, obviously with her destination.

Zhou Xiaoyan also saw Hu Baizhi and greeted her with a smile: "Baizhi, are you going to Miss Qingyan's house too, let's be together." As she spoke, she pointed to the basket in her hand, "Sister-in-law asked me to send some peaches to Miss Qingyan for the two children to eat, and I have also sent them to your family." ”

Zhou Xiaoyan smiled very gently, not to mention that she was Zhou Rong's sister-in-law, which made Hu Baizhi inexplicably a little shy, so Hu Baizhi, who has always been very aggressive, was a little at a loss. She sighed and followed Zhou Xiaoyan's side, almost walking with the same hands and feet. She felt that what had been a short road on weekdays had become so long now.

After seeing Hua Qingyan, Hu Baizhi relaxed the whole body, jumped to her side, and saw her looking at the ground in front of her, and naturally understood what was going on. Look at that place, everyone will be angry!

"This Hua family is really thick-skinned, they can do everything, and they said that they would grow food for Qingyan with two acres of land, and now what is the situation of this wasteland perfunctory! It's really immoral! ”

"It's a bit excessive." Looking at the situation in the field, Zhou Xiaoyan couldn't help frowning, "But it's okay, I'll go and talk to my brother at night, and ask him to help Miss Qingyan organize some men to tidy up this land, and it will be fine in two days." ”

What Zhou Xiaoyan said was a solution, but the Hua family's approach still made Hua Qingyan angry. She would make things difficult for her in the future when she met the Hua family, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly. Not long ago, she just lost face in the village, Hua Panpan is still locked up in the ancestral hall, and she hasn't been released, and now she is doing tricks and feet in the land assigned to her, this Hua family is not afraid of being criticized, and she can't raise her head in the backing village at all!

But these have nothing to do with Hua Qingyan, she doesn't care how the Hua family will live in the future, she just needs to live well for herself and her two children.

"Thank you, Miss Zhou." Hua Qingyan knew that this was a girl from the Li Zheng family, but she didn't know her name. She doesn't walk around the village much on weekdays, but she hasn't seen many people, and even if she does, she doesn't necessarily recognize them. It's the girl of the family this week, she saw it once on the way to the market, the temperament is good, some of the girls from big families are dignified and beautiful, and there are peasant girls who are generous, but it makes people feel good when they look at it.

Listening to Hua Qingyan's unfamiliar title, Zhou Xiaoyan smiled and said: "My name is Zhou Xiaoyan, and Miss Qingyan can call me by my name directly." ”

"In that case, then Xiao Yan doesn't want the girl to come and call me the girl, like Bai Zhi, wouldn't it be closer to call me Qingyan?" Hua Qingyan smiled, her eyebrows and eyes crooked.
