Chapter 24 Try More

"Since we are sincerely cooperating with Manager Zhou, I naturally dare not ask for a higher price, especially for this basket. The quantity used in the tea garden is also large, much more than bamboo baskets. I also quoted the price based on the large quantity. If I sell it in bulk, it will naturally not be this price."

Zhou Xing has also been looking at these things everywhere these days, and some people have come to him to recommend their own things, and the prices are almost the same.

But the quality of this thing is still a little bit inferior to what the Jiang father and daughter made.

Most farmers are honest and simple, but precisely because of this, they are often fearful and lack courage, or because they are too honest, they appear a little stupid. Many times, you still cannot understand the key points even if you talk to them for half a day.

Jiang Mixia, on the other hand, is down-to-earth and intelligent. Dealing with her is worry-free and reassuring.

"Sure." Zhou Xing readily agreed to the request and found an experienced worker to determine the number of hats and baskets needed.

There were more hats than baskets, sixty in total, and baskets of different sizes, a total of one hundred in total.

In the end, the total amount was eight taels of silver.

It still takes half a month to deliver.

The two families also agreed that any bamboo baskets, baskets, bamboo hats, bamboo baskets, etc. needed by Shaoji Tea Garden in the future would be ordered from Jiang Mixia's family.

After the two parties had reached an agreement, Zhou Xing paid the money and also paid two taels of silver as a deposit for this business.

Even after returning home for a long time, Jiang Youchengdu still felt that the money in his hand was not real enough.

"Ma'am, slap me."

"Why should I hit you?" Liu felt puzzled.

"Why do I always feel like I'm dreaming?" Jiang Youcheng sniffed, "So much money..."

It’s not that our family didn’t have that much money before.

Before Song Jingyun got married, Jiang Youcheng and Liu had saved more than ten taels of silver. At that time, they sent ten taels to Song Jingyun's uncle's family as a betrothal gift to invite Song Jingyun to marry them.

But that money was saved by Jiang Youcheng and Liu for many years, penny by penny, for more than ten years.

But now, these two orders combined can earn ten taels of silver in just over a month! Jiang Youcheng sniffed again.

Because of the excitement, the corners of my eyes felt sore and my nose couldn't stop running.

"You look like you have never seen the world." Liu looked at her husband with disdain, "If you make more money in the future, won't you be unable to even stand?"

"How can that be possible?" Jiang Youcheng wiped his nose. "From now on, this will be a long-term business with the tea garden. From what Manager Zhou said, there will be more things needed in the future, and we can see money every month."

"After I deliver this batch of goods, I will go look for some wood and other materials to renovate our house so that we can live more comfortably."

"Besides, I think we have some money now and we can earn more in the future. We should not be so stingy with the flour and rice at home. We should eat what we need. If it is not enough, we can buy more."

The purpose of making money is to make life easier.

It’s okay for the old couple to have a harder time, but their two children can’t always suffer with them.

What's more, now I have to do the work of weaving baskets. If I don't eat well, I won't have the energy to do it.

"I know, don't worry." Liu nodded.

When making dinner that day, Liu stewed some potatoes with minced meat. She also replaced the original black flour pancakes with cornmeal and white flour steamed bread. She also changed the corn porridge from corn stumps to fine cornmeal paste with rice grains in it.

Although cornmeal is also a coarse grain, it has a sweet taste. When mixed with white flour, it can be made into a steamed bread, but it is soft and tastes good.

Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun both ate with great relish.

Jiang Youcheng did not eat dinner at home, but went to the eldest son's house with four small strings of money.

After settling the wages for Jiang Chunshi and Fang for helping to make bamboo baskets for picking tea, they also went to sit in the main house.

When Jiang Youcheng came back, he was slightly drunk.

The next day, the whole family started a new busy life.

Chopping bamboo, sawing bamboo, splitting bamboo, cutting bamboo strips...

Jiang Mixia, Jiang Chunshi and Liu were responsible for doing these, while Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun were responsible for editing things.

Both the father-in-law and the son-in-law are now experienced and can weave more than ten stories a day.

If we continue at this pace, I think we will be able to deliver the goods ahead of schedule.

There was still plenty of time, so everyone didn't get up early or stay up late, and just moved forward normally.

Seeing that Jiang Youcheng was busy at home, Jiang Chunshi helped to cut enough bamboo. Then, in the past two days, he began to pick up saws, planes, chisels and other tools, trying to make some small items such as chairs and benches.

First of all, it helps you practice your skills and keep your feel for it so that you don't get rusty.

Secondly, practice makes perfect. Once you have made these small things for a long time, you will have the confidence to make large ones and be able to accurately estimate the materials and working hours.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, despite his busy schedule, he did not forget Jiang Mixia's request for a puppet a few days ago. He took the time to carve a puppy and showed it to her.

The palm-sized puppet looks like an ordinary rural dog, with its tongue sticking out and its tail wagging.

It can't be said to be lifelike, but it looks very beautiful.

"Brother, your craftsmanship is really great." Jiang Mixia praised repeatedly.

To be honest, this craftsmanship was at least beyond her expectations.

Being praised by his youngest cousin, Jiang Chunshi scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, "My master didn't allow me to learn carving before, so I just watched and learned secretly. Don't try to make me happy, I still know my own limitations."

"I'm not kidding you, big brother. I'm just praising you sincerely." Jiang Mixia smiled, "But this puppy is good-looking, but it's not fresh enough. Most puppets out there look like this."

"I can draw some pictures for you, big brother. Why don't you make some puppets according to the pictures while you're doing your carpentry work? Then we can see if we can make some extra money."

"Okay." Jiang Chunshi nodded and agreed without hesitation.

His skills were average, and he had just started doing carpentry work. He had to put together the materials for things like tables, chairs, and benches himself to see if he could sell them, so his business was bound to be a bad one.

In my free time, I carve some puppets. It would be best if I could exchange them for money.

Try more and find more ways.

"I'll get you some paper and pen."

Jiang Chunhe occasionally drew furniture patterns at home. He had paper and pen at home, and although the patterns were a bit rough, they were still usable.

"Brother, just take the paper. I have a pen here." Jiang Mixia shook the charcoal stick in her hand.

Although she could barely write a few words with a brush, she was still not used to drawing. It was much more convenient for her to use a charcoal stick as a pencil.

Seeing this, Jiang Chunshi just went home, got some paper, and asked Jiang Mixia to draw.

Jiang Mixia held a charcoal stick wrapped in cloth in her hand and scribbled a few strokes on the paper. Suddenly, several cartoon characters appeared on the paper.

I'm begging for everything. I recommend the author's completed farming novels "The Stepmother of a Farmer's Family Farms Cleverly", "The Eldest Sister Is Rich", "The Taste is Fragrant", and "The Cute Little Daughter-in-law Who Manages the Household"
