Liu Guiyuan held the first half-fingered glove, looked left and right excitedly, and then said to her eldest sister: "Eldest sister, you sew a pair for Brother Xiaobai, and I asked him to help us publicize it." ”

Liu Guiyuan suddenly thought that a student like Tian Rubai would flip through the handwriting morning and evening, and he would not freeze his hands when he put on the hand cage, if he gave him a pair to wear, his classmates would definitely want to see it, and her business would be open at that time.

Liu Hongjube was a little embarrassed, it stands to reason that the hand cage and shoes and socks are the same, they are all intimate things, and it is not good to give them away casually, so I had to compromise and say: "Otherwise, I will cut a pair for him, and he will sew it with thread himself, so it will not be counted as my gift." ”

"yes, I almost forgot, so let's do it!" Liu Guiyuan knows the rules of this time and space, although Tian Rubai is five years younger than the eldest sister, but if someone sees the cage in private, someone will definitely gossip, she doesn't want the eldest sister to be criticized because of this matter.

However, there are many taboos in giving hand cages, and there is no such thing as selling hand cages, regardless of whether you are a married woman or an unmarried woman, do some needlework and get out for a few dollars to spend, basically no one will ask.

"Then eldest sister, do you want to send it to Brother Sun? Tell him to help us spread the word too! ”

When Liu Huahua heard Guiyuan say Tian Rubai, he immediately thought of Sun Jingxuan, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he began to tease Liu Hongjuju, anyway, her grandmother had already acquiesced to the matter between her and Sun Xiaoge.

"What are you talking about, let's beat you, sew your hand cage well, you see what the harvest looks like over there!" Liu Hongzao stretched out his hand and called her.

After a few days, the three sisters bought cotton cloth of various colors, and carefully sewed the flap fingerless gloves, including men's models, women's models, and small doll models, most of the men's colors are brown, blue, blue, black, women's models have purple, green, red, yellow, and there are many colors of small dolls.

When there were 100 hand cages sewn, Liu Guiyuan planned to take them out for trial sale to see how the effect was, because it was too cold to ask Lianzi to follow, Liu Huahua stayed at home to take her, and she and her eldest sister set off with the cart.

When she arrived in the town, Liu Guiyuan and her eldest sister assigned tasks, carried a basket of hand cages to the ground, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, you go to Brother Sun's side, and I will go to my aunt's side to see which of us sells it first." ”

Asking the eldest sister to sell gloves alone is Liu Guiyuan's deliberate, she and Sun Jingxuan have rarely met since they borrowed sachets to show their hearts, and even when they meet, they can't say a few words, and today Liu Guiyuan said that he couldn't go over to be a light bulb.

Liu Hongjube knew what Liu Guiyuan meant, pursed his mouth and walked outside Sun Luo's store with something, just looked inside, Xu is heart was sharp, Sun Jingxuan, who was settling accounts at the counter, looked up, and saw the girl in her heart, standing outside.

Sun Jingxuan put down his abacus, walked quickly to Liu Guiyuan, looked at her happily and said, "Why are you here, walking or catching a car?" At the same time, when I saw that she was carrying a basket on her back, I had to take it with my hands.

Liu Hongzao flashed slightly, unloaded the bamboo basket and basket by himself, and said a little embarrassedly: "I walked with Guiyuan, and she was on my aunt's side." Then he lowered his head and picked out a pair of hand cages from the bamboo basket, handed them to him, and said, "We sewed them ourselves, and we will give you a pair to wear." ”

Sun Jingxuan put on the hand cage that looked a little strange, separated his four fingers and exposed his head, and then untied the flap and put it on his hand, and couldn't help but praise: "Your hands are so skillful, this hand cage is wonderful, and you can wear it when you do things." ”

"Then I'll set up a stall here, won't I delay you?"

"Don't delay, I'll help you."

Sun Jingxuan carried a bamboo basket and found an open space for her, and then took two small horses from the store, one for each person, and sat on the left side of the store door, helping her put the colorful hand cage on the linen, which quickly attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Hey, what are you selling, why can't I understand?" An eldest lady came over and asked.

"I sell a new hand cage, both men and women, auntie, you wear it on your hand to try it, do any housework is not in the way."

Liu Hongjube is not as lively as her younger sister, but it is not a problem to sell things, and before she came, Liu Guiyuan taught her how to sell, such as the lady in front of her, they like to try on and try on the most, as long as they are willing to come over, this sale will be half.

The eldest lady was greedy for freshness, picked a pair of grape purple, put it on for a long time, felt quite convenient, and asked Liu how much the red jujube was, and when she heard that a pair would cost four yuan, she was a little distressed, and muttered in her mouth: "Such a little fabric, how can it be so expensive, I can do it at home by myself." ”

Liu Hongzao had expected someone to say this, so he pointed to the flap and fingers of a pair of hand cages, and patiently said to the eldest lady: Look at these two places, you have to do it for a long time, look small, in fact, it can be a cloth, and then you do it for the first time, it may not be just right, it is better to buy a pair of cost-effective directly, I am a pure cotton cloth, and the color is also positive. ”

The eldest lady looked down for a while, feeling that she was right, she hadn't done any worse than the cloth, so she might as well buy it directly, so she paid four cents, but she didn't buy the one she fancied, but bought a pair of bean-green men's hand cages, thinking of buying them for her own man.

After the first order was sold, it was much easier later, and the stall was placed at the door of Sun Jingxuan's store, some diners in his store saw it and came over to try it on.

"Shopkeeper Sun, which girl is this, please help you personally? Could it be your daughter-in-law who hasn't been through the door? ”

In one sentence, Liu Hongjuo's face turned red and her ears became dry, and she wanted to leave, but many hand cages were still on the hands of the guests, but she subconsciously wanted to leave when she sat here, and couldn't help but regret why she came here to sell hand cages.

Just as he was regretting it, he saw Sun Jingxuan stand up, arched his hand and said, "When the day comes, I will definitely invite you to drink a glass of thin wine." ”

Sun Jingxuan doesn't like to talk, but what he does is eating and selling, and he can't say a word, and over time he has developed a serious tone of either not speaking or opening his mouth.

"Sun's shop is refreshing, that's okay, then I'll buy two pairs of hand cages as a congratulatory gift for you!"

The diner saw that he was serious, so he didn't want to make fun of him anymore, so he smiled and picked out two pairs of gloves and paid for it, and went straight to the store to eat snail noodles

People who can afford to eat a bowl of noodles outside will naturally not be stingy with a small amount of money, so driven by the first diner, the other diners who joined in the excitement and watched each paid for one or two pairs, some bought them to wear for themselves, and some bought them home for the women in the family to wear.

After a while, there were only two pairs of hand cages left with Liu Hongjuo, so he packed up his things and was about to leave, Sun Jingxuan followed behind and was about to send her, Liu Hongzao shook his head vigorously and said, "It's not a few steps, I'll just walk over by myself." ”

"I'll send you anyway, I'm not worried about you alone."

Sun Jingxuan insisted on sending it, so she naturally took the bamboo basket in her hand and took the lead in front to lead the way, and the two of them walked side by side, no one spoke, but there was unexpected harmony.

Walking quickly to the brocade pastry shop, Liu Hongjube was afraid that his sister would see it, so he stopped and said, "I'm here, you can go back." ”

"Okay, I'll watch you pass." Sun Jingxuan handed her the bamboo basket and glanced at her before saying: "Red dates, don't fish for snails in the future, the water in the lake is cold, be careful of ice hands, I can also catch snails in Qinghe." ”

Sun Jingxuan knew that it would take a lot of energy to catch a basket of snails, and it would take a lot of energy to clean it repeatedly, and then walk five or six miles to send it over, so he felt a little sorry for Liu Hongjujube and didn't want her to work, not to mention that they were not willing to accept money.

"Well, I'll go back and talk to them, and I'll go."

When Liu Hongzao heard Sun Jingxuan's concern, her face that had just been dissipated turned red again, and she hurriedly went to Liu Guiyuan after speaking.

Seeing Liu Guiyuan playing in the courtyard, he was afraid that she would see that her face was different, so she asked her directly: "You have sold all the hand cages?" I just sold out over there. ”

Before Liu Guiyuan could speak, his aunt poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Longan has a sweet mouth, it turns out that the good popularity accumulated when selling moon cakes is good, and he greeted him door to door with a hand cage, and people paid for it, saying that this kind of hand cage is convenient to wear." ”

"What's the matter, it's all for my aunt's sake, otherwise I'm a little baby, who will sell it." Liu Guiyuan knows the essence of sycophancy, although he is so proud in his heart, he still catches his aunt and praises him as if he doesn't want money.

In autumn, it was dark early, the two sisters sat at their aunt's place for a while, and then pulled the cart and hurried to the house, when walking on the road, Liu Guiyuan was still thinking in her mind, when she sold the hand cage to save a little more money, she must buy a donkey cart or mule cart with a carport......

The next morning, while eating breakfast, the second uncle and the second aunt came, and the eldest sister gave them two pairs of hand cages, saying, "We sew them ourselves, and the second uncle and the second aunt wear them." ”

Second uncle Liu Chonglin looked at it over and over again, and praised while watching: "It's still your ingenuity, it's the first time I've seen such a hand cage, don't say it's good to wear it to work!" ”

The second aunt Li nodded again and again, echoed and praised for a while, and then got to the point: "Guiyuan, you have the right idea, you see that it is cold now, what kind of small business can we do?" ”

The bamboo tube cake sold by the Li family, as the weather gets cooler, there are fewer people who eat it, and I had planned to come over to find longan, but there was a delay at home, so we have time.

Liu Guiyuan had already guessed that there would be this day, the bowl cake is a cold food, and it is not easy to sell in autumn and winter, but it is really rare for the second uncle's family to hold back for so long to ask her, so he smiled and said: "I think about this, I will sell fried stinky tofu, and you will make stinky tofu, right?" After frying, it is served with a little pickles and a little mixed soup, which can be sold for a lot of money. ”

How to sell, how to price, I believe that the second uncle and the second aunt who have done business can operate well, the cost of beans is low, but making tofu and then pickled into stinky tofu is troublesome, and few families will be patient to do it, so they are very reliable in doing this transaction.

"Stinky tofu? My family has done it once before, and the trouble is trouble, and it is strange that it is delicious, but it costs oil to fry. The second uncle hurriedly answered.

"It's okay to spend oil, anyway, you can sell it back, second uncle, you and the second aunt think about it, which pickles are delicious, and I think the soup will be served with bone broth, buy some pork bones, it won't cost much."

Liu Guiyuan persuaded his second uncle not to be stingy with oil, it would not be possible to do business considering the cost, as for how to save oil, whether to change the fried oil, this is not a problem that Liu Guiyuan considered.

The second aunt Li was full of fried stinky tofu, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said to the second uncle sitting on the side: "The housekeeper, I think it's okay, the stinky tofu has to be made in a pot, and it can't be done in advance, so it's better to call Tie Niu back and sell food with the two of us." ”

"Alas, the dead iron bull is disobedient, who knows if he can come back?" As soon as the second uncle mentioned his eldest son Tie Niu, three marks appeared in his mind, worried!

"If he dares not to come back, the old lady will let go and lend him money to set up a stall in the town, if he still screws up, I, I, I will cut off the mother-son relationship with him!"

What's going on?
