Chapter 257: Doll
Liu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia talked about Mu Rongya and Uncle Mu going back to Quzhou in May, and by the way, they talked about preparing gifts for them.
Jiang Zhixia likes Mu Rongya very much, so he naturally wants to bother to prepare gifts for her.
Ordinary jewelry is naturally to be given.
But in addition, Jiang Zhixia also wanted to give her some more commemorative gifts.
Therefore, she really thought about it seriously for a long time, but there was no result.
Fortunately, there is still more than a month, and I am not in a hurry.
On the second day, Liu Tiankuo went to the palace early to be on duty. Jiang Zhixia didn't need to settle down in the morning and dusk, so he stayed in bed and got up late.
Before he got up, he was blocked by Lin Qiushui, who came to visit the door.
After Lin Qiushui married Chu Mufeng, the two of them also lived a very sweet life.
Lin Qiushui has no in-laws to take care of, and the family population is simple, and there are not many housework to deal with.
Because Chu Mufeng doesn't like to open a shop, and Lin Qiushui doesn't know much about shops, so the two of them still keep buying land and collecting rent.
Therefore, Lin Qiushui really needs to see fewer account books.
Fortunately, Chu Mufeng has a lot of money, but he doesn't have much communication, and his life is peaceful and quiet.
And because Chu Mufeng's home and Liu Tiankuo's home are both in Beifang, separated by a few alleys, Lin Qiushui likes to come to Jiang Zhixia to chat here every day.
After the maid waited for Jiang Zhixia to get up, freshen up, and have breakfast, Lin Qiushui smiled and pulled Jiang Zhixia to sit on the beauty couch together.
"Sister-in-law, that doll called Garfield you gave me earlier is really cute. Yesterday, a sister came to my house and liked the doll, and asked me where I got it. ”
Lin Qiushui said with a smile and showed off.
"It's just a doll, it's worth something." Jiang Zhixia saw that Lin Qiushui was talking about such a trivial matter, and replied with a smile.
"Sister-in-law is so understated, this kind of doll, there is no shop on the street to sell it."
Lin Qiushui saw Jiang Zhixia's disapproving expression, and pouted and retorted.
Jiang Zhixia was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.
Also, this kind of doll has a special pattern, and no one has filled it with cotton before, so naturally there is no such soft effect.
Therefore, there are really no dolls for sale in the shops on the streets and alleys.
However, large families will still make some dolls by themselves, such as little tigers, small dolls, etc.
However, it is not as cute as she painted.
Thinking of this, she had a thought, and the gift of her sixth cousin was gone.
No wonder she couldn't think of this doll.
This doll was still a year ago, when she made it for the princess and prince in the palace, she gave an extra one to Lin Qiushui.
It's March now, and she naturally can't think of such a small thing.
However, after she gave the doll to the princess and the prince, when she entered the palace again, she saw that they were much closer to her.
Beyond the words, I still want dolls.
However, she didn't have any extra cotton in her hand at that time, so she had to explain it to them regretfully.
They are also sensible, and they have not pestered themselves for dolls in the future.
However, the doll she gave her was a precious one. Listening to the palace people's jokes, they sleep with them in their arms every day.
Even the princess and prince in the palace like this kind of doll so much, so the folk naturally don't need to say it, right?
Wouldn't it be nice for her to draw a few of the figures that were widely circulated in her previous life, and then ask the people in the sewing room to make them for her, and then give them to her sixth cousin as gifts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia discussed the doll with Lin Qiushui with great interest.
Although Lin Qiushui is a woman in her twenties, she also loves dolls very much, and she praises the appearance of the dolls given by Jiang Zhixia.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia's confidence was even stronger.
In the previous life, there were so many things to choose from, but dolls could be liked by everyone.
Whether it's a child, or a teenager or a girl, there are some people who like these dolls very much.
In this dynasty where toys are scarce, this doll can have a place.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia was also excited.
She vaguely had an idea, but she couldn't think of exactly how to do it for a while.
couldn't think of it, so Jiang Zhixia didn't think about it. She smiled and entertained Lin Qiushui.
Lin Qiushui had lunch here with Jiang Zhixia again, and waited until the evening, when it was almost time for the palace to be on duty, so he hurried home to greet Chu Mufeng.
And after Jiang Zhixia left Lin Qiushui, she was in the small study, holding a pen and paper and slowly sorting out her thoughts.
Nowadays, several truckloads of cotton have been transported from Yazhou. It is more than enough to make cotton clothes, cotton pants and quilts.
The rest of the cotton is used to fill the dolls, which can be used for a while.
In August and September, when the cotton planted in the field is harvested, the cotton will be more abundant.
Besides, not all dolls have to be filled with cotton.
You can divide the dolls into categories, similar to Zhu Cuilou, and divide them into several grades. The high-grade ones are filled with cotton only.
And the human hand of the doll, this is not a difficult task. Buying some people can solve the problem.
That is, the person who manages the shop...
Jiang Zhixia hesitated.
Now, she has to open two more workshops and two shops. Liu Tiankuo is also expanding the industry in his hand.
However, there are not so many reliable manpower. However, such a small shop does not have to use reliable manpower.
As for the backer?
This doll isn't a high-profit industry------ shouldn't it be?
I'm not afraid of other people's eyes. With their current status, they are enough to protect it.
The most important thing is the pattern of the doll.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia felt a little weak again.
If this doll wants to win by surprise, it needs all kinds of patterns from its previous life.
On her own, I'm afraid she won't be able to design a new pattern.
Although, her painting level has improved a lot.
In her previous life, she only had the foundation of painting in an extracurricular class.
In this life, she also knows her own shortcomings in this regard. So after getting married, she hired a female painter to learn the skills of painting.
Naturally, she didn't dare to compare with those ladies who specialize in this.
However, when it comes to drawing a pattern, there really is no problem.
So, with cloth, cotton, drawings, and hands, this doll business should be able to do it, right?
In the doll shop, plus some common toys in the previous life, it was directly opened as a toy store.
Anyway, toys are quite scarce now, but they are prevalent in large households.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia listed the things that needed to be done with great interest.
However, Jiang Zhixia suddenly paused again, she was not short of money now. This puppet shop, visible to the naked eye, can't make a lot of money. If so, it would be better ...
Jiang Zhixia took the pen and carefully wrote down everything he thought.
