034 Flower Girl in the Country

With the delicate little basket sent by Li Mingjiang, Lily began to implement her plan.

She found a business opportunity from the maid in Liufu, and it didn't take long for the opportunity to be snatched away by others, but unfortunately the person who robbed her of the opportunity would only draw a scoop on the gourd, and did not see the greater opportunity in addition to Liufu.

The lily folds into the peach blossoms, or a single branch, or a side of the slanted out, or a cluster of clusters, in the small bamboo basket to pose a variety of shapes, so that people look at the eyes of the eye.

She cleaned herself up again and took the flower basket to the intersection of the town to sell.

Horse-drawn carriages came and went on the main road, and some people heard the crisp shouting outside, and the tone was good: "Peach blossoms bloom in early March, bring back a branch of spring!"

Selling flowers is common, and there are often people in Taiping County who pick newly blooming apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, and jasmine to sell, but it seems to be the first time in this countryside, not to mention that the selling sound is quite elegant, as if there is some knowledge.

Someone lifted the curtain and called Lily over: "Bring your flowers to see!"

Lily hurriedly walked up and held up the flower basket to show the other party: "Look!"

If it is an older man, he will say "the peach is dying, it is appropriate to have a room and IKEA", and if it is a reserved and shy little lady, he will say "the peach blossoms on the human face are red". Lily doesn't care about the fact that the girl hasn't read a book, so it's important to sell these flowers first.

Those who pass by and are attracted by her hawking, although she is not good-looking, but her eyes are clean and her smile is simple, they have two good feelings first. In addition, she has a sweet and flexible mouth, beautiful flowers, and delicate and beautiful baskets, even if she sells a basket of flowers for ten yuan, she will often pay for it.

Li Mingjiang weaves baskets, the largest ones are sold for two or three cents, the cost of small baskets is far less than one penny, lilies decorate flowers, and sell them for ten cents when they open their mouths, which has increased more than tenfold.

The flowers are beautiful, the basket is delicate, and you can take it home and enjoy it for days. When the petals wither and drift away, the small basket can also be hung on the wall and placed on the desk for decoration, which is quite wild and definitely not a loss for buyers.

There are few people in the countryside who have this ingenuity, and Lily is thinking about reading "Dream of Red Mansions" back then. The girls in the Grand View Garden carve the bamboo root gadgets one by one are very rare, and even Daiyu likes the baskets woven by Ying'er with wicker, not to mention that the baskets woven by her father will only be more exquisite than those woven by Ying'er, how can no one love them?

The dozens of baskets sent by Li Mingjiang were quickly sold out, along with peach blossoms, and the rest of the town naturally wanted to join in when they saw that there was such a profit. But they don't have the small basket provided by Li Mingjiang, second, they are not as eye-catching as lilies, and they specialize in picking good-looking flower branches, and thirdly, they are sweet mouths, but they are not as interesting as lilies, and in the end they are always inferior to lilies.

Lily turned around and rested for two days, waiting for her father to bring the basket and sewing the insole, and the little life was enjoyable. A carriage from the city also inquired about it: "What about your flower girl?"

It turned out that she was already famous, and some elegant people came to buy flowers from her. Because she was at home, the man regretted returning to the city, and shook his head and chanted two songs "Visiting the City Flower Girl Doesn't Meet" or something......

The next day, Li Mingjiang brought the basket alone, and Lily smiled and gave him a bag of dry tobacco. The smell of dry tobacco is strong, but it is not unpleasant, most of the elderly people in the countryside like to smoke a little, Li Mingjiang's cigarette stick is picked by himself with bamboo roots, the quality of dry tobacco is not very good, always look for a little bit of enjoyment everywhere.

Lily specially asked Wang Xiaofu to buy a bag of good cigarettes for her father, and her father was stunned: "Big girl, you live a good life, don't always break the bank for me......"

"Dad, the baskets you made for me have been sold, and I have made a few bucks, and I have nothing else for you, so I will honor you a little dry tobacco assembly!"

In addition to dry tobacco, there are also needles and threads for Zhu's and wooden combs for Lamei. It's not that Lily doesn't want to share the money with Li Mingjiang, but there is still a leech-like Zhu at home, if she is targeted by her, knowing that her daughter has made money, she can force Lily to give her all the money, and she will never give up without sucking blood.

Lily is not a big girl, she has a scale in her heart, she is a girl, and it is right to honor her parents, but because she respects her parents, she puts her own home into it.

The Zhu family longed that Lily could send all Song Haonian's money back to her, where did Lily dare to show her family background in front of her? Even in front of Li Mingjiang, she didn't dare to tell the truth, only said that she had some income and barely stopped starving.

In addition to peach apricots, there are many dandelions, hydrangeas, gardenias, and wild jasmine in Xiaodonggou...... Countrymen look at flowers only to see if they can eat them, and only children will think they look good and turn home to play.

But in Lily's eyes, those are resources that can be exchanged for money. Gardenia is clean and bright white, except for the vulgar fragrance, which not everyone likes, and wild jasmine has a strong fragrance, but the flowers are inconspicuous. Except for a small part that is sold, the rest is taken home and dried to make dried flower sachets and sachets.

The sachet is still made of rags, Lily can't do it alone, Yang Li Caifeng helps her make some, and the two of them divide the account in three or seven, Li Caifeng is also happy to have an income to subsidize the family, and also called Xiaofeng to do it together, but he doesn't charge more than the salary given by Lily.

Dried flower sachets are not as good as flower baskets, but some people like the ingenuity of splicing sachets, and some people like the fragrance that emanates after drying.

There is a private school in the town, which was opened by Master Liu and several squires, among whom the scholars have a very high opinion of themselves, dislike the customs of the villagers, and are unwilling to socialize with them more.

But selling flowers is an elegant thing, and when the weather is bad, Lily also takes the flower basket to the vicinity of the private school. These schoolchildren envy the people in the city for their generosity, but they don't have much money, and the lilies are naturally not good at asking for the same price, so they only sell them three flowers for a penny, but the basket has to be taken home by themselves, and it will be a loss to leave it to them.

When they come and go, they see a lot of schoolchildren, and sometimes they have to squeeze their eyebrows. Lily has a solemn attitude and will never laugh with them, but most of the schoolchildren are not much older than Qingsong, and it is the age when they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, even if Lily has a tiger face, he can't help them.

Later, Lily went to the private school less, and only asked the green pine to bring flowers to sell, so as not to make something unpleasant, which would be troublesome.

It rained a little on this day, and Qingsong came back from selling flowers, his face was full of fine rain, and Lily hurriedly pulled him to wipe his face and hair, and went to the kitchen to cook ginger soup.

Qing Song followed him to the kitchen: "Sister, I don't drink ginger soup!"

Lily coaxed him: "I'll put more brown sugar in the soup for you, it won't be difficult to drink." "She didn't dare to let Qingsong get cold, otherwise the family would be dragged down.

The country children were hungry for sugar, and Qingsong heard that there was brown sugar, so he hesitated and decided to drink ginger soup. He told Lily about what he had seen and heard in the private school: "Sister, Xiaoxiu just asked me about you." ”

"Who?"
