Because it is not noon, there are a lot of people coming and going in the village, and it is rare for Qiao's family to show up these days, and everyone greets them when they see them, and some just meet politely to say hello, and they don't care about their whereabouts.

But there is indeed a sarcasm of the Ming Dynasty, with a look of resentment and disgust. For example, Chen Mei, who is now knocking melon seeds and deliberately spitting the skin of melon seeds at Hua Banxia's feet.

"Yo, isn't this our big girl, let's hear that we have opened a shop in the city, and the business is okay?"

Chen Mei asked with a concerned look, but who in the village didn't know that Hua Banxia's shop had lost money, so Chen Mei didn't ask to mock Hua Banxia obviously.

Hua Banxia was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Mei, as for the loss of the shop, that was what they thought, although they hadn't started to make money yet, they wouldn't lose money.

Chen Mei saw that Hua Banxia didn't take advantage of the stubble, and the boys of the Qiao family stared at her viciously, and when she saw it, she was angry, when did she carry a group of juniors to bully!

"Hmph, you are really a money-loser in Banxia, the government has rewarded you with silver, and you will lose money when you open a shop, you deserve it!"

"Sister is not a money-loser!" Hua Qingqing clenched her fists, looked at Chen Mei with red eyes and retorted.

Hua Banxia has been warning a few brothers on weekdays that nothing can be done by the speed of his tongue, so Qiao Zheng and a few people endured it today and didn't speak, but they forgot about Hua Qingqing, a little ghost.

Hua Banxia gently stroked Hua Qingqing's back, "Qingqing, let's go, we still have to go to the city."

Hua Banxia still didn't want to deal with Chen Mei, Chen Mei saw that there was no way to provoke Hua Banxia like this, and she suddenly felt extremely frustrated. I saw that Hua Qingqing's back basket was a ball of hemp rope, and then I stretched my neck and looked at the rest of the Qiao family, it was also hemp rope!

Now Chen Meike went crazy, and greeted the villagers who were standing in the distance and watching the excitement, "Hey, let's come and take a look, look at this broken shoe, open a big shop, and sell hemp rope, haha, laughing to death."

Everyone has always been very curious about what shop Hua Banxia opened, and when they heard Chen Mei say that they were selling hemp rope, they instantly gathered around and took a look.

"It's really hemp rope", "Yes, it's funny, who doesn't have this thing, and he still opens a shop to sell it, isn't it confused", everyone is laughing at Hua Banxia when you say anything.

"Hey, Qiao Da, this cheap woman is not sensible, are you also not sensible, this thing can also be sold? Hahaha......" Chen Mei laughed even more exaggeratedly, and also encouraged everyone to laugh along.

"That's right! We are just selling hemp rope, Aunt Chen, do you want it, I will charge you a penny and a bundle", Hua Banxia took advantage of Chen Mei's words and asked her.

"Are you stupid by the reward of the government lord, buy a bundle of hemp rope for a penny, and don't even want to stick it to me!" After Chen Mei finished speaking, she spit out the melon seed skin in her mouth fiercely, looking very disgusted.

"If you don't buy it, don't get in the way of my mother's wealth, otherwise, you still want to fight me again?" Hua Banxia immediately lowered his face and said coolly.

When everyone heard Hua Banxia's words, they thought of what happened in Qiao's yard last time, and they were so frightened that they stepped back a little.

Chen Mei swallowed her saliva with palpitations, "You, don't come here, we are not easy to mess with", Chen Mei said very unconfidently.

Seeing this, Hua Banxia snorted lightly and beckoned Qiao Da and them to leave.

Chen Mei saw that Hua Banxia had walked away, so she scolded again, "Phew! What kind of wealth do you have, sooner or later you will be killed! ”

Except for Chen Mei's episode, Hua Banxia and a few people rushed all the way to the city, put down the back basket, and a few people hurriedly went to the well behind the shop to fetch water and drink.

Taking advantage of Qiao Da and the fact that they all went to the alley behind to drink water, Hua Banxia secretly moved the paper that had been printed in the space to the benches in the store, and only half of them were typed at present, but there were also seven or eight piles.

Quickly moved out, Qiao Zheng and the others came back quickly, and saw a large stack of papers piled up on the bench in the corner of the store, and asked Hua Banxia suspiciously, "Banxia, what is this?" ”

"Oh, this is just sent by the printing house, saying that only half of it was delivered, and half of it will be sent later", Hua Banxia said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.

Qiao Zheng and a few people nodded, "So that's the case", they came so punctually and left so quickly?

"Cousin drink water", Qiao Yi took out the tea set by the way when he went out just now, and brought some water to Hua Banxia.

"Cousin, what are we doing now?" Qiao Le seemed to never finish his energy, and he was about to start working before he even sat down.

"Now, ah......" Hua Banxia deliberately lengthened her voice, causing Qiao Le to look at Hua Banxia expectantly, "Sit down and rest, waiting to drink Grandma Tang's sugar water on East Street!" Hua Banxia said with a smile.

Qiao Zheng, who came in later, heard it and laughed one after another.

Qiao Le knew that he had been deceived, and smiled a little awkwardly, "Cousin, you tease me again!" Qiao Le is also desperate, although this cousin is half a year older than herself, she is much taller than her, so she can't beat her.

"Oh, let's get some rest, why don't you try your bed?" Spend half a summer to relieve Qiao Le, the two dormitories at the back are one bed per person, small is a little small, but finally there is no need to squeeze with others.

In Hua Banxia's kind words and persuasion, except for Hua Banxia, the other people went to the back dormitory to rest. Leave yourself alone at the counter and watch the store, maybe someone will come later.

In fact, Hua Banxia is also to facilitate the space, and you can secretly disappear for a while when you are alone outside, and enter the space to see if the rest of the printing is done, whether you want to add paper or change ink, etc.

Coming out of the space, Hua Banxia brought a paper cutter by the way, because she only used it herself, so there was only one in the space.

Hua Banxia used ordinary size paper, but the booklet is half smaller than the paper, so it has to be cut, but only one, the progress will be much slower, and it is too late to do it now, so I have to use this to support it, and after cutting, take it to the iron shop to beat a few handfuls.

Qiao Da and the others rested for half an hour, and their spirits were better, so they all came out to look for flowers and summer to find work.

Hua Banxia beckoned them over, pointed to a pile of paper on the chair and said, "This is the content of our booklet, and our job later is to cut each sheet of paper in half according to the dotted line on it, and the others will fold it into a book according to the page number on it."

Hua Banxia took out a few thick iron needles, "This needle is used to punch holes in each piece of paper", Hua Banxia picked up a piece of paper casually, "There are a few small black dots next to the dotted line, and you can pierce the holes according to the position of each small black dot."

It can't be helped, in the era of completely handmade manufacturing, it can only come this way.

"Cheng, just listen to Banxia, and besides, you boys give me a little light, don't get the paper dirty and spoiled!" Tian Fuzhen swore that he didn't forget to tell a few little men. Because she could already imagine how beautiful the booklet would look after it was made.

"They know that this thing is expensive, and it can't be destroyed", Qiao Er saw that his daughter-in-law was rarely so happy, and he was also happy.

"Just they know which is it, the most important thing is you, look at you are rough on weekdays, but you have to be careful", Tian Fuzhen looked at Qiao Er with a slight sedan chair, and was in a good mood.

"Second aunt is ashamed!" Hua Qingqing seemed to have seen something that shouldn't be seen, and covered her eyes with her hands to make fun of Tian Fuzhen.

"Okay, Fuzhen, don't flirt, even a child can see it", Chen Jiahua said with a smile, everyone is so happy.

Because this is confidential work, Hua Banxia wrote a notice of suspension of business and posted it at the door, closed the door, and the shops in the city were willing to open the windows, so the house was not very dark, and his vision would not be hindered at all.

Cutting paper requires strength, Qiao Da took the initiative to take this job, and if he was tired, he would change with Qiao Er.

After Hua Banxia and a few people washed their hands and dried them, they officially started to work. Fortunately, no matter how the Qiao family doesn't know how to read, they can still recognize it from one to ten, so it's no problem to look at the page number.

Qiao Da sat next to the chair stacked with papers, began to pick them up one by one, carefully cut them against the dotted line, and after cutting the paper, Chen Jiahua sorted it out and handed it to a few people next to him.

Because a page had just been cut, there was no need to sort by page number, so everyone prick holes in the paper separately.

After Qiao Da cut it a few times, he gradually mastered the appropriate thickness and angle of the paper, and the speed became faster and faster, and the other people who pierced the hole could no longer keep up.

"Let's not be in a hurry, we must ensure that we tie the right hole, otherwise it will be difficult for us to thread the string later", Hua Banxia saw that Tian Fuzhen and the others were a little panicked because of Qiao's speed, and hurriedly comforted.

"Hey, good, we know", Tian Fuzhen was said by Hua Banxia, so he slowed down and tied it up seriously.

After a busy afternoon, it took a large family to complete two piles, that is, one to four pages, and at this rate, it is estimated that it will be a week before the booklet is released.

Hua Banxia stretched his waist, the sky was already dark, and he couldn't see the small holes on the paper clearly, so Hua Banxia asked everyone to stop and rest.

"Uncle and second uncle, let's rest for a while, let's go to the restaurant for dinner later, and go to bed early after eating."

"What's the matter, aren't you busy at night?" Chen Jiahua thought that this matter was tight, and she would definitely have to be busy at night, but she didn't expect Hua Banxia to be in no hurry.

"Auntie, our house is full of paper, it's too dangerous to light an oil lamp, once something happens, we'll be finished", Hua Banxia doesn't want to take this risk, there are too many accidents in ancient times, and it is possible to overturn the oil lamp if there is a little trouble.

"Yes, yes, we can't take this risk," Tian Fuzhen said worriedly.

"Cheng, let's pack up and find a small restaurant to eat later!" Qiao said cheerfully, this is the first time he has eaten in the city when he is so old.

After an afternoon of running-in, everyone was very tacit, and divided the cut and drilled holes into a category, and found a piece of cloth to cover and press it, for fear that the wind would blow it away at night.

packed up his things, Hua Banxia led Hua Qingqing and the Qiao family to the street.
