Most of the people who came from afar, seeing that Liu Man'er and Ye He were dressed neatly, and the most elegant lotus was placed in the basket, and the most important thing was that others saw that the people in front of them were holding lotus flowers, so they didn't ask much, just thought that this was a new custom at this temple fair.

Therefore, it was only half an hour, and the lotus flowers in the basket of the two were all sold.

When I went to Fang's place to bring the last basket over, there were more people, Xu felt that this flower delivery was indeed more sincere, and a maid-like person came over and directly bought all the baskets of flowers from Liu Man'er.

To be honest, this is something Liu Man'er didn't expect, she thought it might take a lot of effort at first, but she didn't expect that she would achieve her goal so easily.

"Sold out?" Seeing Liu Man'er come back, Fang felt a little incredulous, "Why is it so fast?" ”

"Our stuff is good and zen." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "In order to seek the Buddha, where will these people care about this little money, buy our lotus flower and then ask the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva will definitely be happy." ”

"You're right, let's go to the market and buy some more things to make flowers at home, shall we?" Fang said anxiously, "There are still two days left in this temple fair. ”

"Well, let's go, do more today." I originally planned to visit this temple fair first, but now it is naturally important to make money, anyway, there are still two days left in the temple fair, and it is not too late to go on the last day.

But in fact, today is the most crowded day, and if you come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will inevitably seem a little insincere, Liu Man'er feels that she is really doing less and missing a good opportunity.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the lines are said well, they can still be sold, but I'm afraid that imitations have appeared.

However, Liu Man'er has already made up her mind in her heart, no matter how others imitate her things, she just keeps developing her products.

Went to the market, Liu Man'er bought a lot of silk cloth and colored paper, after returning home, Ye Yuan was busy digging pits, rested for a while, and went to cook, after lunch, Liu Man'er asked Ye Yuan to go to the mountain to pull some rattan to make rattan baskets, and she herself was busy making flowers with Fang Shi and others.

That's right, this time she's going to upgrade, she doesn't plan to sell flowers individually, but plans to sell flower baskets directly.

Some ordinary believers must have already come here today, however, there are always some people who arrive late, and I heard Fang Shi say that every now and then, some people from large families will even live in this Guanyin Temple and devote themselves to worshipping the Buddha, and these rich people are naturally her potential customers.

After Ye Yuan cut the rattan from the mountain, Liu Man'er asked him to weave a small rattan basket, this kind of rattan basket should be beautiful, and then not too big, about enough to hold a dozen or twenty flowers.

I heard that the fourteen beads worn by the Buddhists represent the same sorrow of Guanyin Bodhisattva and all sentient beings such as the Ten Directions, the Third World, and the Six Realms, so Liu Man'er also plans to put more than 14 lotus flowers in each flower basket.

In this way, the price of each flower basket is 50 yuan, which she thinks is not expensive, but it is more cost-effective than selling individual flowers.

In other words, all the flowers she sold today were not worth the last flower basket, and when she sold the last flower basket, the maid directly rewarded her with a tael of silver.

Well, in the eyes of the poor, it is very difficult to earn a penny, but in the eyes of the rich, this silver or two is not a matter at all.

This society is like this, especially here, the gap between the rich and the poor is very obvious, and a large number of people are living the same life as Liu Man'er's family, oh, no, now with Liu Man'er's efforts, the Ye family's life is already good.

There are even worse people, that is, the people in the mountains of Liu Man'er's mother's family, who rely entirely on God to eat, obviously they are already poor haha, but they still have to pay taxes.

This Liang country is in ruins, and the people's livelihood is really difficult, but fortunately, Liu Man'er's family is still peaceful in this remote village.

While making this flower basket, Liu Man'er chatted with Fang's family, and after Fang's family knew Liu Man'er's plan, he was still a little worried, "Fifty yuan to buy such a flower basket?" Who willing? ”

In Fang's opinion, this thing was simple and not valuable.

But in Liu Man'er's opinion, this thing is a work of art, and it took her effort, not to mention, "This is also an opportunistic thing, taking advantage of this good day, touching the light of the Bodhisattva, we will do more today, and we will not do it tomorrow." ”

Hearing Liu Man'er say this, Fang Shi nodded, and said: "Otherwise, tomorrow, you and Xiaohe will go, and let Yuan'er help you when the time comes, I won't be able to help if I go, so I won't go." ”

Today, the Fang clan was waiting there alone, if it weren't for the fact that she was still with Ye Tianchen, she would feel a little bored.

"Okay." Liu Man'er agreed, "Mother, you have a good rest tomorrow, and when we make money tomorrow, we will go to the temple fair together the day after tomorrow." ”

Today she gave the money she earned to the Fang family, but the Fang family did not accept it, only let her save it by herself, Liu Man'er has a sense of housekeeping, and when she heard the Fang family say this, she also accepted the money.

She plans to save up the money to repair the house, widen the yard a little more, dig a pond, raise fish, and plant lotus flowers.

But not to mention repairing the house, Ye Yuan calculated for her, it cost twenty taels of silver, and she would need a lot of silver to buy land at that time.

After all, doing these small businesses can't last long as she said, but she still has to find a long-term livelihood, and in addition, she is determined to be the owner of the land, and just relying on the five acres of land of the Ye family, people will starve to death.

When she has the money and repairs a good house, her first priority is to buy land!

However, now it can only be a pipe dream.

But don't rush, take your time one step at a time.

After one night's work, Liu Man'er and others made twenty flower baskets, and if they were lucky enough to sell them all, they could just get one tael of silver.

"If we can earn a tael of silver every day, then our family will soon become rich." Fang's family also settled the accounts on the side, "Eight taels of silver for one acre of good paddy fields, our family can also buy dozens of acres, and if we buy fields, we don't need to buy rice in the future." ”

The more she settled the account, the more joyful Fang's heart became, as if she saw the best paddy fields beckoning to her.

"It turns out that you also have a landlord's dream in your heart." Liu Man'er said a little jokingly: "It's just that today's good luck is not available every day, if our family wants to be rich, we still have to be down-to-earth, step by step." ”

"What Man'er said is reasonable, and my mother didn't say that she was quite a landlord, but our family's land is too small, and it won't work after all to rely on Yuan'er to hunt." As Fang spoke, he remembered the past:

"When I was young, his father was a hunter, when I followed his father, the family was really poor and white, there was only this foundation, plus two acres of dry land, his father was capable and hardworking, and finally built a house, and bought a few acres of land, seeing that the days were getting better and better, who knows, what happened later."

"Mother, don't say it, we'll get better together." Liu Man'er said seriously, "Now that our Ye Yuan is capable, I can make a lot of money by raising more poultry at home at that time." ”

"When Ye Feng comes out of reading, he can also help the family a lot, he is now helping to copy books, and the money for pen, ink, paper and inkstone is earned by himself." Liu Man'er said again.

"I can help the family too." A voice came in from outside, but it was Ye Qing.

During this time, this guy is a bit mysterious, he goes out early and returns late every day, except for dinner at night, he basically doesn't see anyone.

"Qing'er, why did you come back so early today?" Fang asked with some puzzlement.

"It's nothing, the school ends early today." Ye Qing walked over, found a place to sit down, and then said categorically to everyone, "Mother, eldest brother, I don't study anymore." ”

"Don't read?" Fang Shi glanced at him, "What's wrong?" At least read it for the year. ”

"If I don't read it, it's a waste of time to finish reading, I've already decided, when the time comes, I'll go to a restaurant in the town to do things, and I will be able to eat and live every month, and I will be able to take home a penny of money." Ye Qing said.

"But what about the tuition we paid?" Fang asked again.

"Didn't you discuss letting Liu Fusheng go to school? Let him read it, and when he reads it in the future, I will touch his light. Ye Qing replied.

When Ye Yuan heard him say this, he looked into his eyes, "Second brother, are you serious?" ”

"Of course, I'm serious." Ye Qing avoided Ye Yuan's eyes a little at first, but after thinking about it, he looked at Ye Yuanlai again, "Big brother, I will pay you back the one or two silver I owe you for tuition." ”

"Big brother didn't mean that, I just thought that you said this today, don't complain about big brother again when the time comes." Ye Yuan said seriously, he was really a little afraid of Ye Qing, a somewhat rebellious teenager.

He was afraid that his brother would be dissatisfied with him and that he would have a thorn in his heart.

"Don't worry, big brother, I will take the path I choose by myself, and I will go to the town tomorrow." This time, Ye Qing was resolute.

But Fang obviously didn't think of it, "It's hard to find things these days, where did you find a job?" Why don't you discuss it with your family? ”

"It's in a restaurant in town." Ye Qing lowered his head and said, "This matter is indeed because my son was not thoughtful and didn't tell his mother first. ”

He raised his head again as he spoke, and pulled out a smile: "Okay, now I'm working in a restaurant in the town, and when the time comes, the eldest brother will sell some prey, just look for me directly." ”

"But......" Fang wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, she didn't have anything to say, after all, this child was older, and she couldn't say anything about it, otherwise she would complain again.

"Alas, let it be you, let your eldest brother follow you to the restaurant tomorrow." Fang said.

"Okay." Ye Qing and Ye Yuan responded at the same time.

"That's over there, I'll send these flower baskets with you." Fang said.

"No, just borrow a wheelbarrow tomorrow and push it over, this one is not heavy." Liu Man'er replied.

"That's okay, then I'll let Ye Yuan go to Aunt Chunhua's house next door tonight to borrow it." Fang said.

"Okay." Liu Man'er nodded.
