"Food is the most important thing for the people," Gu Ping laughed heartily. He thought that with his memory, if his family was rich, he would have become the top scholar in the imperial examination. "I said I have a good memory."
Liu Miaohua was so angry at Gu Ping that he almost died. He had been talking for so long just to talk about this!
"Fortunately, Zhuangzhuang looks like me." Liu Miaohua said.
Her Zhuangzhuang looks so much like her and is very smart.
If she made money from selling braised meat, she would definitely buy a lot of delicious food for Zhuangzhuang. Her poor Zhuangzhuang was so thin from hunger.
Xie Yunjiao did not go to town today. She went to the construction site to check the progress of the house.
People at this time work honestly and don't dare to be careless even if no one is watching. They work very hard.
Xie Yunjiao brought some food to the craftsmen, but they felt embarrassed because they were paid to work, not for free.
Seeing that the progress here was good, Xie Yunjiao left. She wanted to find the head of the village to ask some questions.
The head of the village was weaving bamboo products at home. He was very quick and had woven a lot in a short time.
Xie Yunjiao was fascinated by what was happening on the side.
"Gu Huai's wife, are you looking for me?" The head of the village looked up and saw Xie Yunjiao looking at the bamboo products in his hands with shining eyes.
The village head felt his heart skip a beat. He felt that Xie Yunjiao was looking at this worthless bamboo as if she had seen a lot of gold and silver treasures.
"Head, you are so skillful." Xie Yunjiao came back to her senses and smiled embarrassedly at the head of the village.
"Every household in our village can make this kind of thing," said the head of the village.
There is a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain in the village. Whenever people need something, they will go there to cut bamboo and make it themselves. They are very skillful.
"Then I wonder if you can make something like this."
Xie Yunjiao took out the drawing she had spent the whole night drawing. On it was a trolley case made of bamboo with a clear camellia logo in the middle, which was the logo of Qinyuanfang.
Every product of Qinyuanfang has the camellia logo, which cannot be counterfeited.
"What is this? I've never seen it before?" asked the headman curiously.
Xie Yunjiao explained it to the head of the village, and he immediately understood.
"You want one?" The head of the village felt that Xie Yunjiao had come to the wrong person. Her man Gu Huai was very good at doing this.
There's no need to come looking for him.
"No, I want fifty. Find a few more people and make them all in five days. I'll give you a hundred coins each. How about that?"
The head of the village frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.
"The money is too little?" Xie Yunjiao asked, a little embarrassed.
"No, no, no, a hundred coins is too much. We usually make these things and sell them for only a dozen yuan each, and we're all happy."
Although it is a handmade product, it is not difficult to make and anyone can make it. Moreover, the material used is bamboo, which is not worth much, so it cannot be sold at a high price.
"And if you buy so much at once, can you sell it?"
The village head looked at Xie Yunjiao with a look that seemed to say that this person was stupid and had a lot of money.
"Don't worry about that. As long as you can make it, I can sell it. But I have to make it clear in advance that if it's not made well, I won't accept it."
"Then it must be done to your satisfaction."
One hundred coins each, and if you make ten it will cost one or two ounces!
"Okay, I'll give you a deposit first, and then I'll pay the rest when it's done."
The village head was a decisive man. After taking the money, he left in a hurry and looked for help everywhere.
On the way back, Xie Yunjiao met a cowherd boy, who was the grandson of the village head. He was seven or eight years old, but his family was poor and he could not go to school, so he could only help with housework at home.
Xie Yunjiao once met him on the road and shared a piece of pancake with him. He remembered this kindness and would greet Xie Yunjiao every time he saw her from afar.
"Hello, aunt." Gu Song greeted Xie Yunjiao.
There are three major surnames in the village, one is Gu, one is Zhou, and the last one is He.
This village head Gu is also a relative of the Gu Huai family. He is the son of Old Man Gu’s eldest brother. Old Man Gu is ranked seventh and the youngest among his brothers.
Gu Lichang's eldest son and grandson are several generations older than Gu Huai. They look like they could be his father, but they are of the same generation.
So when Gu Song saw Xie Yunjiao, he had to call her aunt.
Xie Yunjiao responded, and Gu Song handed her the wild fruit he had just picked as if he were presenting a treasure: "Auntie, although this fruit is sour and astringent, it will gradually become sweet and taste good."
Xie Yunjiao thanked Gu Song and tried one. It was really sour and bitter when she first took a sip, and there was a lot of juice. It was so sour that her brows were furrowed.
"I'm sorry, Auntie. I didn't know you didn't like this. Please spit it out."
Xie Yunjiao was about to spit it out, but she actually tasted the sweet aftertaste just as Gu Song had said.
This taste is somewhat strange.
"Gu Song, where did you pick up this wild fruit?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
She felt that the fruit was a bit difficult to swallow just like that, but it could be used to make fruit wine.
Grapes specifically used for making wine are sour and astringent before they are made into wine, and do not taste good.
But after it is brewed into wine, it has a unique taste.
The taste of this fruit is similar to that of grapes, and it should be able to be used to make wine.
However, she had only seen others brewing it, but had never done it herself and was not sure if she could succeed, so she wanted to try it on a small scale first.
If successful, it can be produced on a large scale and sold to Yuemanlou, and sold to customers as fine wine.
Xie Yunjiao couldn't help but smile at the thought of making money happily again.
Gu Song told Xie Yunjiao the location of the wild fruits, and when he learned that Xie Yunjiao wanted to pick wild fruits, he volunteered to take Xie Yunjiao there.
He also helped pick a lot of them and personally helped Xie Yunjiao take them home.
Xie Yunjiao thanked Gu Song, but Gu Song waved his hand and said that this was what he should do.
Xie Yunjiao gave him some more food, but he refused to take it and ran away.
Xie Yunjiao had no choice but to plan to give these things to Gu Song the next time she went to find Gu Lichang's suitcase.
She doesn't like to owe favors to others.
As the days passed, the batch of trolley cases ordered by Xie Yunjiao was finally completed.
Xie Yunjiao didn't expect that Gu Lichang really found so many people to complete her order within the agreed time.
And I was afraid that she would not be satisfied later, so I repeatedly reminded her to check it again and again.
They made it all, in the feel and size she wanted!
I have to say, she was quite satisfied.
I immediately pulled it a few times on the ground, and it was very smooth.
"Gu Huai's wife, can we put our luggage in this box and then pull it along?" the villagers asked curiously.
"That's true. When we usually travel long distances, we carry a lot of heavy luggage, which makes walking long distances very tiring. But with a suitcase like this, we can just pull it along, which makes it much easier."
