Chapter 161: Picking Osmanthus Flowers
After breakfast, Yun Yi walked towards her cousin's house with Xiao Wan'er in her arms.
Now that there is a spinning wheel in hand, Zhao Chunhua has already taken care of the old ladies in the village.
Because when Yunyi built a new house and workshop, the wage was very high, so Uncle Tang and Yunpeng also became the objects of the village.
You must know that the wasteland by the Yunyi River is only a small piece of land now.
They heard that after the textile workshop was built, Yun Yike was ready to continue to build other workshops.
When these workshops are built, which one will not need to recruit workers?
If you take advantage of the fact that Yunyi's workshop has not yet started construction, you can have a good relationship with your cousin's family in advance.
Then in the future, whether it is to build a workshop or recruit workers in a workshop, they will be able to be taken care of by Uncle Tang and Yun Peng.
In this way, wouldn't there be a lot more opportunities to make money than others?
For the careful thinking of these villagers, Uncle Tang's family is also very clear.
After the initial discomfort, they are now not too comfortable dealing with the villagers.
When Yunyi came to Uncle Cousin's house with Xiao Wan'er in her arms, more than a dozen old ladies had already gathered in the courtyard of Uncle Cousin's house.
The wood-colored spinning wheel was already pulped at this time.
This shows how many people's hands this spinning wheel has experienced during this time.
As soon as Yun Yi entered the door, the group of old ladies instantly chattered around.
Xiao Wan'er has been in Taoyuan Village for a while.
Since Shen Youwei often takes her to run around the village, she is also very familiar with the old ladies in the village.
One of the old ladies had sharp eyes, pulled the persimmon directly from the tree and handed it to Xiao Wan'er.
However, Zhao Chunhua's hands and feet are not slow.
When Wan'er just took the persimmon in her hand, she had already hugged Xiao Wan'er, who was thanking her, into her arms.
Seeing this, the other old ladies had no choice but to tease Wan'er while speaking to Yunyi:
"Brother Yi, now we are all familiar with the operation of the new spinning wheel, why don't you make a batch first, and we will help you spin the thread at home?"
"Yes! Brother Yi, it looks like winter is coming, such a good thing can't be delayed forever, right? ”
"Brother Yi'er, it's not my sister-in-law urging you, if you can spin the silk thread in advance, you might as well sell it in advance to make money."
"Oops! Brother Yi is still building a house, and it is estimated that it will cost a lot, but it is really not good, and we can pay half of the cost ourselves! ”
"That's right, as long as Brother Yi'er agrees, my family can spend money to build one, and when your workshop is built, I will move to your workshop."
……
Everyone was gossiping for a while, and all they said were urging Yun Yi.
For everyone's proposal, Yun Yi responded with a smile.
These old ladies deal with this spinning wheel every day, and if they want to imitate it, it should not be a difficult task.
So far, however, he has not heard of anyone in the village who has copied the spinning wheel.
It can be seen that the character of these villagers is still very good.
It wasn't until everyone's discussion gradually became quieter that Yun Yi said to everyone:
"I've already told the carpenter in the village about the spinning wheel."
"Everyone also knows the advantages of this spinning wheel, so the secrecy work must be done well."
"From today onwards, every time Carpenter Zhang makes a spinning wheel, everyone chooses by drawing lots."
"As long as you grasp the spinning wheel, you can move it to your own home first."
"During this period, everyone only needs to pay a penny of rent every day."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed.
If you can pick the first one, won't it take a long time?
As for the rent of that penny, won't you come back after working a little more in the evening?
How do you look at this thing, how cost-effective.
After all, Yunyi didn't let them out of the money for making spinning wheels!
The reason why Yunyi wants to collect rent is not because he lacks that penny or two copper coins.
The reason why he did this was to cultivate the habit of the villagers to obtain benefits through exchange.
He Yunyi will also make a lot of good things in the future.
If these good things are used by the people in the village for free, there will be a situation where you will pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold your mother.
Now let them pay for these good things, then they will feel that they are worth the money, and naturally there will be no insatiable desires.
After the cheers of the crowd gradually became smaller, Yun Yi cleared his throat and continued:
"Now although Carpenter Zhang's father and son are already working hard, carpentry is a craft after all."
"We can't just be fast and ignore the quality of the spinning wheel."
"After all, no one wants to use a problematic spinning wheel, does they?"
Hearing Yun Yi say this, the old ladies around him suddenly echoed for a while.
Even the few people who were going to Carpenter Zhang's house just now to rush to work dispelled this thought at this moment.
Seeing that this group of old ladies were respectful of their words, Yun Yi smiled slightly and told his plan.
"Now that everyone is around this spinning wheel, it's a bit too much of a waste of time."
"This morning, I heard from Youwei that all the osmanthus flowers in the back mountain are blooming, so I thought about collecting some osmanthus flowers to make some pastries."
"But everyone also knows that I am a powerless scholar, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to pick much by Youwei alone."
"I thought about it, and I thought about asking my sisters-in-law and aunts to help."
"But this matter will not let everyone work in vain, I will give you twenty yuan for a basket of osmanthus flowers."
"As long as everyone can pick it back, no matter how much, I will take it all."
When I heard Yunyi ask them to help pick osmanthus flowers, although this group of old ladies didn't say anything, they were still a little reluctant in their hearts.
However, when they heard that Yun Yi had actually collected twenty wen in a basket, their eyes instantly began to glow with golden light.
You only need to pick the osmanthus flowers in the back mountain and hand them over to Yunyi to earn dozens of dollars?
Isn't that no different from picking up money?
You must know that those osmanthus trees in the back mountain are all ownerless.
If Yunyi could buy it at a price of twenty wen a basket, it would save much more money than they spun a day's thread.
"Brother Yi'er, do you really want to collect osmanthus flowers?"
"Yes! Brother Yi, do you want to eat so many osmanthus flowers? ”
"Brother Yi'er, if you really give twenty wen a basket, I will go to the back mountain to pick it for you now."
"What are you talking about, Brother Yi'er, he still deceived us?"
"That's right, Brother Yi said twenty wen, then it must be twenty wen."
……
After this group of old ladies reacted, some people were skeptical, while some wanted to make Yunyi accept it through the method of agitation.
For everyone's thoughts, Yun Yi's heart is naturally clear.
It's understandable that they don't believe in this kind of thing.
After all, who would want to spend so much money except for those rich families just to satisfy their appetites!
"Don't worry, I said that twenty wen and a basket will not be less."
"Now that the osmanthus has just bloomed, there is still time to pick it."
"If there is an autumn rain in a few days, there will really be no chance to pick."
"If you are willing to help with picking, you can go to our family Youwei to advance a part of the deposit in advance."
"After the osmanthus picked by everyone is delivered, we will pay another part of the payment."
"Since the flowering period of osmanthus is not long, the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law who want to make this money can start today."
Since everyone was skeptical, Yun Yi simply used the killer weapon directly.
Although twenty wen and a basket of osmanthus flowers seem outrageous, but after Yunyi processes these osmanthus flowers, the price will appreciate a hundredfold or even a thousand times.
