Chapter 23: Smart Enough (Monthly Ticket Plus)

"It's really good. He learns very quickly." Liu couldn't help but sigh and felt happy in her heart.

Song Jingyun is thin and not particularly delicate. She was once worried about how Jiang Mixia would live when she and Jiang Youcheng grew older, and whether she would have to carry the burden of the entire family alone.

Now that Song Jingyun has learned the skill of basket weaving, it is like having a bowl in her hand. No matter whether the food is good or bad, she will not be hungry, and she can feel a little more at ease.

Jiang Mixia leaned over and saw Song Jingyun's hands busying around. The bamboo strips were flying up and down, and the basket was getting higher and higher. It was dizzying.

Oh! This must be a thumbs up for the little son-in-law.

Speaking of which, this little son-in-law is really not simple.

He learned how to fork fish quickly, and also how to split bamboo strips quickly. Now he is even an expert at weaving bamboo baskets. It is obvious that he has a strong learning ability.

but……

Jiang Mixia, who had helped Song Jingyun comb her hair this morning, suddenly fell into deep thought.

Ever since Song Jingyun came into this world, she has been the one who helps him comb his hair, even though Song Jingyun just doesn't know how to do it.

This doesn't quite fit in with the young son-in-law's personality of having a strong learning ability.

"Why do you learn things so quickly?" Jiang Mixia wanted to find the reason, analyze and summarize it to see if she was teaching in the wrong way.

"How should I put it..." Song Jingyun hesitated for a moment and replied, "It feels like after reading it once or twice, I remember it, and if I try to do it, I can do it."

The legendary super high IQ, photographic memory, strong learning ability, and top student?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Mixia felt that it was very likely.

After all, Song Jingyun comes from the future interstellar space. Humans have evolved for so long that their IQ should be getting higher and higher.

But here comes the problem.

"Then why can't you learn how to comb your hair?" Jiang Mixia asked.

"I have thought about this question. It may be because the bun is on the top of my head and I can't see it." Song Jingyun said seriously.

Jiang Mixia, "..."

This is a really good answer! ——After everyone’s hard work, the fifty bamboo baskets were finally completed.

At this time, there are still five days before the delivery date agreed with Manager Zhou.

I had mentioned the matter of delivering the goods ahead of time to Manager Zhou before. Manager Zhou said that if the goods were delivered ahead of time, they could be delivered at any time. If he was not there, he had already told others and they would pay the remaining money.

Jiang Mixia suggested that they deliver the goods two days before the delivery date, which would show that their family was working hard, but there would not be such a big error when estimating the time.

In addition, Jiang Mixia also suggested making a few more shallow baskets and bamboo hats and taking them over.

"The quantity doesn't have to be large. Just two or three baskets and three or four hats will be enough. This can be considered as our extra bonus for this business."

Jiang Youcheng nodded after hearing this, "That's right, it's such a big deal, and Manager Zhou didn't bargain. If we don't add something, it would seem a bit ignorant."

Moreover, all these gifts were not worth much in total. It was nothing more than a matter of him and Song Jingyun, the father-in-law and son-in-law, working closely together and rushing to finish the work.

Jiang Youcheng thought it was a great idea, so he followed Jiang Mixia's suggestion and together with Song Jingyun weaved a basket and a hat.

In a blink of an eye, it was the delivery day.

It was still Jiang Mixia, Song Jingyun, Jiang Youcheng and Song Chunshi, four people, who hired Jiang San's ox cart.

But because there were so many things this time that they could not fit them all in, they hired an extra oxcart from a fellow villager, Jiang Shuanzi.

The two ox carts creaked as they left the village before dawn and arrived at Shaoji Tea Garden when the sun was almost high in the sky.

The charred black marks on the tea garden have been mostly cleaned up. The previously collapsed houses have all been demolished and new ones are being built. A few thatched sheds have also been temporarily built for rest, and the fences and walls have also taken shape.

It can be said that the tea garden has a brand new feel compared to the last time I came.

Zhou Xing was directing people to work, and when he saw Jiang Mixia and the others, he came over and said, "It's a few days earlier than expected."

"We know that Manager Zhou is renovating the new tea garden here, so we are rushing to do everything. We dare not delay any more." Jiang Mixia said with a smile, "Manager Zhou, can you check the goods?"

Zhou Xing picked up only one, looked at it carefully, and then put it on his body to try to carry it, and found it quite convenient.

Especially the wide cloth strips sewn on the shoulder straps are quite smooth and do not feel tight when you carry them on your back. It is a very well-designed design.

After checking a few in succession, he asked the clerk to count the number of the remaining ones and asked the accountant to get the silver.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What are these?" Zhou Xing asked as he looked at the hats and baskets that Jiang Mixia and Jiang Youcheng brought over.

"Manager Zhou is taking care of our business, so we should show some respect to him. However, we don't have anything to show for it, so we can only make up these things. Let's see if Manager Zhou can use them."

Jiang Mixia handed the hat to Zhou Xing, "These hats have lining inside, so they won't feel uncomfortable when you wear them. There's more space on the top than on ordinary hats, so they won't press on your hair."

Zhou Xing looked at the hat, put it on himself, and nodded, "Not bad."

He looked at the baskets of different sizes again and nodded again, "Not bad."

Then he laughed, "You may not be that old, but you are very thoughtful and smart."

When saying this, Zhou Xing's eyes narrowed into slits, but his gaze was sharp, like an old fox, as if he had obviously seen through Jiang Mixia's thoughts.

Jiang Mixia didn't try to hide it, and just admitted, "My family is poor, so naturally I want to find more ways to make money. Thanks to Manager Zhou for taking care of me, these things are a way to express my gratitude, and also to let Manager Zhou see our craftsmanship and thoughts, and see if I can benefit from Manager Zhou again in the future."

Zhou Xing touched his nose.

Since it is a tea garden, after buying the tea picking basket, it is natural to start working.

The sun is so strong in spring that it is hard to open your eyes, so a bamboo hat is a must.

The picked tea leaves need to be dried, and this basket is an essential item.

Jiang Mixia specifically picked these two items to deliver, hoping to attract more business.

"When it comes to doing business, it's all about cost-effectiveness. If your price is right, then of course it's fine with me," Zhou Xing said.

If you can get a quote, it means you have a stepping stone.

Jiang Mixia smiled and said, "A bamboo hat doesn't require much material, but it needs to be lined with a lining, which is troublesome to make. The price of a bamboo hat is 45 coins. As for a basket, it depends on the size. A basket this big costs 45 coins, and a basket this big costs 55 coins. If you want a bigger one, we'll tell you the price based on how big you want it to be."

Zhou Xinglue nodded, "The price is reasonable."
