Chapter 40: Doing Work (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, Recommendations)
"Don't wash your own clothes in the future, I'll wash it for you, you see you haven't washed it yet." Lin Baobao pulled up the sleeve of Gu Shi's right hand and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see what the small piece of black on it was.
The position under his wrist would not have been noticed if she hadn't measured him just now.
The clothes at home are generally washed by Zhao's concubine in three rounds, and Lin Baobao will wash the clothes after taking a bath after passing through.
Gu Shi brought his washed clothes with him every time he went to bathe in the river.
After a day of farming, his clothes were dirty, and he only rubbed them in the river, and he didn't even have soap horns, so it was strange that he could wash them.
Thinking about it, seeing that Gu Shi's words had no beginning and no later text, she raised her head and asked, "Actually, what are you?" ”
Gu Shi's eyes flashed, and he pulled out his sleeve: "Actually, I don't think it's okay to teach my father and mother to write directly." ”
Looking at Lin Baobao's suspicious eyes, he continued: "When I was a child, my enlightenment began by reciting the "Three Character Classic", and when I memorized it, the words were naturally memorized. ”
Lin Baobao always felt that what Gu Shi wanted to say at the beginning was not this, but she had no evidence.
"What do you think?" Gu Shi coughed lightly.
"Listen to you."
Next, the Lin family would sound the uneven sound of reading every day after dinner, and I won't mention it for the time being.
The next day, as soon as Lin Baobao finished feeding the chickens, Liao brought Xiao Liao, Erzhu's daughter-in-law and two women from the village over.
The two women are not very old, they look like they are in their thirties, one of them is Tiezhu's daughter-in-law, and the other is also the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, whose maiden name is Jiang.
The two of them followed behind Liao, their eyes didn't dare to look around, and they looked honest.
Liao also asked them to bring each of them a patched piece of clothing: "Little Liu, do you think they are feasible?" ”
After Liao asked, the two were obviously a little nervous.
The stitches are fine, much stronger than her.
Lin Baobao nodded: "It's not difficult to make silk flowers, but you can't take the work home, you have to do it here with me, are the two sisters-in-law willing?" ”
It stands to reason that they are all in the same village, and it is convenient to get live and deliver goods, so there is no need for this.
But country women are more or less a little bit of a problem of taking advantage, even if Tiezhu's daughter-in-law and Jiang are not that kind of people, what about their families? Who knows?
Rather than pulling the strings at the back, it's better to put an end to it at the beginning.
Tiezhu's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief: "My aunt has told us. ”
Lin Baobao looked at Liao in surprise, she didn't make this request yesterday, but she didn't expect Liao to go with her.
Since there are no opinions, the person who does the work is so decided.
Lin Baobao and Zhao carried the cut rags to the dining table in the hall.
Seeing this, Zhou muttered: "This table is also strangely busy, it has to be used as a dinner table, a desk, and now it has to be used as an embroidery table." ”
Lin Baobao said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't you say that I haven't thought yet, it just so happens that the eldest aunt and the lobby sister-in-law are here, and when I go back in a while, I have to talk to the lobby brother and add us a table." ”
Liao Shi stood up and walked out after hearing this: "It won't take a while, I'll go and talk to Tonggenzi now, and I can send it in the afternoon." ”
Several people who were originally a little restrained were amused by her reaction, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
It is indeed not difficult to make silk flowers, not to mention the four people with skills, that is, Zhao and Zhou have learned it after watching it.
A few people didn't ask about the salary, sat down and began to work.
They didn't ask, but Lin Baobao couldn't help but say.
Four silk flowers, three ordinary and one delicate.
On the market, silk flowers made of muslin cloth can be sold for five to ten yuan, depending on the size and the amount of materials.
Lin Baobao roughly calculated, one foot of cloth can make seven or eight ordinary ones, and there are more delicate waste fabrics, which are only enough to make six.
What she does is a new model, which is sold for ten wen for ordinary models and fifteen wen for delicate models, deducting the money for the material and thirty percent to be distributed to Yao Niangzi, and she can earn four to seven wen for a silk flower.
Of course, she didn't spend money to buy this batch of materials, and she earned more.
"Ordinary money is one penny, exquisite three pennies, daily wages are paid, and there is no food at home, what do you think?"
The time to make five ordinary flowers can be about two delicate ones, but the delicate ones are more laborious, and the actual price is about the same.
This price is much more than they expected, and a few people naturally have no opinion, and now they are married, so they don't have to worry about Lin Baobao not paying their wages.
Lin Baobao saw that after she finished speaking, Tiezhu's daughter-in-law and Jiang's hand movements were a lot smoother, guessing that they didn't want to ask, but probably didn't dare.
After all, it is not easy for a country woman to find a lucrative job.
Mei brought Da Zhuang Niang over on the second day.
"Little Liu, look at me, I had a lot of things at home yesterday, and I didn't come here until today, do you still have work here?" Mei's words were a little weak.
After listening to Da Zhuang's words, her head was hot, so she came to Lin's house to ask about the work, and after making sure that she would come over early yesterday morning.
As a result, Aunt Qiu ran to her house that night and said that Lin Xiaoliu wanted to find someone to work for nothing, so she didn't plan to come.
I don't want to show off her daughter-in-law to people everywhere under the big banyan tree yesterday evening, and her daughter-in-law earned fifteen wen by doing a day's work in the Lin family......
Fifteen Wen, their men go to the town to work as coolies and earn so much a day.
Mei regretted it so much that she hurriedly brought her daughter-in-law early this morning.
When I came over, I saw a lot of people going to the Lin family's big house, and I didn't have to think about it to know that I wanted the Liao family to pull a line for them.
As for why you didn't go directly to the Lin family and ask, didn't you follow the trend and go up the mountain to pick honeysuckle, are you sorry?
Mei didn't say anything, and Lin Baobao also guessed what was going on.
is Tiezhu's daughter-in-law and Jiang's family, if it weren't for Liao's appearance, it is estimated that they would not come.
"Yes." Lin Baobao didn't know, and brought people into the hall: "Aunt Mei and sister-in-law sit down first and see what the others do." ”
"Done."
For three days in a row, in addition to feeding the chickens, Lin Baobao checked the quality of the silk flowers made by everyone.
In addition, she has to cook three meals a day and do laundry at home.
There is no way, Zhao sits down every day and goes to the toilet as a posture of wasting time, and Zhou's mind is full of money to make new clothes for men, and the same is true.
Chen wanted to help, but she was embroidering a double-sided table screen, and Lin Baobao didn't want to delay her time.
In this way, all the work at home is piled up on her, but fortunately, there are still eldest and second girls who can help.
At night, Lin Baobao lay in front of the dresser and counted the pile of copper plates in front of him several times, muttering: "Ming'er will let them do it for another day, so they won't do it first." ”
She still had six pieces of silver left, and she wouldn't be able to pay for her work any longer.
And now there are nine people doing the work, and in three days, more than 200 ordinary silk flowers and nearly 100 delicate flowers have been saved, and these goods are estimated to be sold out for a long time.
When Gu Shi entered the house, he saw her pulling the copper plate there, her hands hanging on both sides tightened, and finally sighed, took out two pieces of broken silver from her purse and put them in front of Lin Baobao.
The book that Kuroko gave him last time was only copied today, a total of two, and Kuroko sent it to the study in the afternoon, and he didn't have time to put the money in the box.
There were suddenly two more pieces of broken silver in front of him, Lin Baobao was stunned, and tilted his head to look at Gu Shi: "Why do you still have money?" ”
Gu Shi: "It's gone." ”
Lin Baobao: Why do you say this as if you are afraid that you will ask for him?
Gu Shi: The silver I finally earned was gone, and I also posted sixty wen upside down (the salary for the sunspot)
Lin Baobao: Are you hiding private money?
Gu Shi: ......
