Chapter 58 The Ascaris in the Stomach (First Order)

If I had a waterproof bag to carry with me, it would probably save me a lot of trouble.

Jiang Mixia roughly understood what the scholar needed, and thought for a while, "It is also possible to weave one in the shape of an ordinary bag, and put a layer of lining inside, which will be clean and smooth, and look good."

"If that's the case, would you mind helping me as a servant?" The scholar cupped his hands. "How much money would it cost?"

Jiang Mixia, "It depends on how big you want. We can estimate the price based on the size."

"It's about this size..." The scholar gestured and gave an approximate size.

It is about one and a half feet wide, about one and a half feet high, and about one foot thick.

"Although it's not big, the corners have to be made into right angles to hold books, which is a bit difficult to do. It also needs a lid. This bag costs three hundred coins."

Jiang Youcheng made a rough estimate and gave a price.

"Okay." The scholar nodded without any hesitation.

"When do you need it and where should it be sent?" Jiang Mixia asked.

A bag worth three hundred coins was enough to deliver the goods to the county town.

Moreover, since it was the scholars of the academy who bought the waterproof bag, it meant that it was a very useful item for the scholars. Then it would be a good opportunity to promote it in the academy, and perhaps a large amount of business could be made.

"I've been in the academy for a while now, so there's no rush. Just send it to the academy within half a month." The scholar said with a smile, "When the time comes, just send it to Wende Academy and find a scholar named Kang Yinian."

After a brief pause, Kang Yinian continued, "You might as well make a few more. I think this thing is good. Go back and tell your classmates about it. I guess they will buy it, so you don't have to run back and forth too much."

"Thank you, Mr. Kang, for helping with the publicity." Jiang Mixia bowed, confirmed the specific location of Wende Academy, and accepted the deposit of one hundred coins from Kang Yinian.

After Kang Yinian left, more people came to see the watertight bamboo basket.

The remaining bamboo baskets were all sold out in a short time.

He sold twelve bamboo baskets, each costing two hundred coins, and earned more than two taels of silver.

I only spent a few days weaving baskets at home and made so much money by coming to the county town.

It’s really becoming easier and easier to make money!

Jiang Youcheng's mouth was almost grinning to his ears. On his way back, he was thinking about Liu at home, and also about the fact that this watertight bamboo basket was mainly woven by Song Jingyun, so the credit should mainly go to him. So he went to the braised food shop and bought a whole braised pork elbow and lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, and went to the cake shop to buy some red bean cakes, osmanthus cakes and other cakes.

Things like braised pork elbow and lotus leaf chicken are also sold in the town, and Song Jingyun eats them often. He doesn't find them strange. However, the red bean cake and osmanthus cake, although the same as those sold in the shops in the town, are softer and more glutinous, and taste sweeter and less greasy, which makes Song Jingyun quite excited.

"Madam, next time you come to deliver the bag to Mr. Kang, can you please do it earlier?"

If you come earlier to deliver the bag, you can come to the county town to buy more cakes and pastries.

Jiang Mixia also knew what the little son-in-law was thinking, and was used to his greed, so she readily agreed, "No problem."

"Next time you come, would you like to try the black sesame cake? It tastes sweet and crispy. I'm sure you'll like it."

"Okay, okay." Song Jingyun stuffed the red bean cake into his mouth, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Then he chuckled and said, "My dear, how can you guess what I'm thinking? You are really a worm in my stomach."

Jiang Mixia, "..."

There is no need to praise me like that!

After returning, Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun began to try to weave a waterproof bag.

With the experience of weaving watertight bamboo baskets, when weaving this bag, I spent some time on the corners, but I was familiar with the rest and finished it quickly.

In order to make it easier for the scholars to use, Jiang Mixia asked Liu to sew the straps and weave them in.

The shoulder straps are made of wide strips of cloth sewn with fine stitches, which will never squeeze the shoulders when carried. Jiang Mixia has specially designed them to be adjustable, so that no matter how tall or short, fat or thin you are, you can adjust them to the length you need.

After they had compiled seven bags, Jiang Mixia, Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun went to the county town again and found Wende Academy.

Wende Academy is an academy in the county town. It is not an official school, but it is quite famous. It was built with money donated by several gentry and merchants.

The teachers invited by the academy are of high moral character and prestige, and the tuition fees are much cheaper than those of ordinary academies. In particular, for students whose families are poor but who are excellent in academics, not only do they not have to pay tuition fees, but even their food and clothes are provided free of charge by the academy.

Most of the people who have studied here have benefited from the academy, and after they have achieved success, they have generously donated money to provide financial support.

After so many years, Wende Academy became famous, many people respected it very much, and scholars were proud to be able to study at Wende Academy.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Even those scholars who received stipends in the county school often came to Wende Academy to study and learn.

Jiang Youcheng knew the reputation of Wende Academy, so when he came here, he felt uneasy. He always felt that a farmer like him should not come to such a place.

Song Jingyun was ignorant and didn't know much, so he didn't feel such pressure. He just felt that the area around Wende Academy was quite quiet and the surrounding trees were lush and green, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility, which made him feel very comfortable.

Jiang Mixia was concentrating on selling the waterproof box. So she carried the things in her hand and went straight to the gate of the academy to ask people whether Kang Yinian was in the academy.

Wende Academy is famous and has a strict admissions policy. There are not many people studying here, and most of them know each other. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they know each other's names.

The news that someone was looking for Kang Yinian was passed around by just a few people before it reached Kang Yinian's ears. He then hurried to the gate of the academy.

Jiang Mixia saw that the people were coming quickly and bowed, "We have prepared the bag that Mr. Kang wanted. Mr. Kang, can you take a look?"

Kang Yinian saw that the bag was very delicately woven and even the straps were sewn very smoothly, so he put it on his back to try it out.

“Not bad, not too heavy and a good size.”

"Although I've already filled it with water and tried it at home, I also specially prepared a bucket of water today. Mr. Kang, would you like to try out the waterproof effect?" Jiang Mixia picked up the scoop while speaking.

"Since Madam Jiang dares to do this, this thing must be good." Kang Yinian took the purse and paid Jiang Mixia.

This time, he wants three, two of which are for his friends.

Last time he gave her a hundred coins, and this time he gave Jiang Mixia one tael of silver. Jiang Mixia took out two small strings of money and gave them to him as change.

Kang Yinian still had to go back to study, so he didn't stay for too long. He carried one on his back, one in each hand, and walked towards the academy.
