Chapter 252 Different

"Sister Ning, I thought you guys would not come back to the shop today." Zhang Qiuying hurried to the backyard house and took out two pieces of cloth. "This was sent by Chai, the shopkeeper of Ruyi Pavilion, after you and Sister Sui left in the morning. He said it was for you, Sister Ning, and that you knew about this. So my mother and I took it and will give it to you when you come."

"Yes, I know about this. I helped Shopkeeper Chai and Shopkeeper Chai gave me two pieces of cloth as a thank you."

Zhuang Qingning took off the cloth on his back and said with a smile, "It's just a coincidence that we are out of cloth today. This cloth is thin and light, suitable for making summer clothes. Qingsui and I may not be able to use it all if we make clothes together. I'll give this piece to Aunt and Qiuying. Take it back and make summer clothes for them."

"this……"

Cao was stunned for a moment, then waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, this material looks good, but one piece will probably cost several taels of silver. It's too expensive, we can't accept it."

How much money could she and Zhang Qiuying earn in a year working here? Zhuang Qingning gave them a piece of good cloth without asking for it. There was nothing they could do about it.

"Aunt, just keep it." Zhuang Qingning took the cloth and stuffed it into Cao's hands. "If you don't want to make clothes now, you can keep it and make something else later. You have to accept it anyway. Qingsui and I don't lack clothes to wear."

“This…that…”

"Aunt, please don't say anything. Just accept it first. I will need your and Uncle Xiang Rong's help in the future. If you don't accept it now, I will not be able to ask for it in the future." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"But I'm not ready for this right now. When I'm ready, I'll tell you about it. This cloth is my hard work fee in advance."

"If you say so..."

Cao hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I'll take it first, but I have to make it clear that if you don't have anything else for us to do, I will return the cloth."

"Don't worry, I'll tell Auntie when I'm ready. But we have to wait until Uncle Xiangrong's legs and feet are better. I'm afraid it won't be possible now."

"Speaking of which, how is Uncle Xiang Rong's leg? Is it feeling better?" Zhuang Qingning asked with concern.

"It's OK. I've consulted a doctor. He said the bone should be healed and not crooked. But right now the boss can't walk. He doesn't have enough strength. But if he uses crutches, he won't have to use too much strength and can move a few steps."

Cao said, "I can handle everything at home these days by myself. I don't need your help every day. I can stay at home and cook some donkey rolls. I can let Qiuying sell them outside the shop in the morning."

"But it's a bit hot today, and I can't stop rolling around. I thought if it gets hotter, I'd better stop doing it for now and wait until it's cooler."

"Since Aunt Liu and Qiuyue have nothing to do at home, you might as well pick some mugwort leaves from everywhere in the house. I have already asked an uncle in the county town to help sell the mosquito repellent herbal bag I gave you last time. I estimate that you will need a lot of dried mugwort leaves during this period. It is okay for the drugstore to buy them, but it is better to ask relatives to buy them. The price is the same, and you don't have to pay the drugstore any more."

“But the mugwort leaves have to be picked in small pieces and dried thoroughly under the sun. Then I’ll weigh them by kilogram and I’ll take as many as you have.” Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

“That’s not a problem.”

Cao nodded repeatedly, "At this time, mugwort is growing vigorously. There are patches of wild ones outside. We are next to a river, and there are mugworts everywhere by the river. No one wants them. At most, during the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone cuts a handful and hangs them at the door to ward off evil spirits. On weekdays, at most, people pick a few and put them at home to repel mosquitoes. But mugwort alone is useless, and many people are too lazy to cut them."

"If you want other aunts, I really can't promise you, but if you want this mugwort, it's easy to ask. When you go back home in the evening, tell mom and ask her to pick some when she's free. If you get up early in the morning, Qiuying and I will go with you and dry them at home."

"Aunt, just take care of the arrangements. I'm not in a hurry. I'll buy some from the pharmacy first and bring it over after it's dried."

Zhuang Qingning explained the situation to Cao, and when he returned home, he also went to find Zhuang Jingye to talk about the preparation of the raw materials for the herbal bag.

"We can take as many mugwort leaves, calamus leaves, and mint leaves as we can. We can give the price to the pharmacy, but we also have to control the quality. We can't just put in leaves that don't dry well or look rotten."

Zhuang Qingning explained to Zhuang Jingye, "This can be considered as finding a job for the village. After the autumn planting is finished in the next two days, there will be a way to make some money."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhuang Jingye was like a chick pecking at rice, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.

"After the autumn planting, there is nothing more to do than to weed and weed after a while. It's not a lot of work. It's just the right time to work harder and earn more money. Besides, people of all ages can do work like cutting wormwood. It's a good job."

It's almost like giving away money!

What did he say before? He said that this girl Ning's brain was different from others, and that she would be the God of Wealth in the village in the future.

"I have to deliver the first batch of goods in three or four days. If the village head uncle is not busy, I will talk to everyone today. If you are diligent and there are enough days in the next few days, you can catch up and deliver the first batch of goods. If you can't catch up, don't worry. You can collect them frequently in the future and save them slowly."

"In short, I will pay you as much as you have, and I will never default on your payment."

Seeing that Zhuang Qingning was very confident in what he said, Zhuang Jingye became a little worried.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Ning girl, don't blame me for throwing cold water on you. There are wild mugwort leaves everywhere by the river next to us. You are so generous. You can have as much as you want. What if you collect too much mugwort leaves and can't sell so many herbal medicine bags?"

"Won't I lose money then?"

"Don't worry, uncle, I guarantee we'll sell as many as we can." Zhuang Qingning smiled.

Zhuang Jingye's big mouth didn't close for a long time.

How many can be sold?

this……

Zhuang Jingye was really a little worried that Zhuang Qingning would become a little too proud because the tofu shop business had been booming. But if he thought about it carefully, since Zhuang Qingning was going to do something, there must be some reason for it and it could always be accomplished.

It was just like he was not optimistic about Zhuang Qingning's decision to have a daughter, but wasn't Zhuang Qingning living a prosperous life without any complaints?

Zhuang Jingye thought about it and decided to keep quiet and not mention it again.
