Chapter 612: Collecting Chicken Feathers
Qin Chuchu was so scared that she patted her chest to calm down and looked at Liu Qing with dissatisfaction.
"Why don't you hold your neck?"
When I turned around, I saw her head resting on one shoulder, and her face looked like a monkey's butt. Who wouldn't be scared?
"It's because of the bad mood."
Liu Qing quickly straightened her neck. Although she looked obedient, she was filled with hatred in her heart.
No matter how many cold stares he received this afternoon, he would definitely return them all one day.
No matter how dissatisfied you are in your heart, you can only endure it, but your endurance will soon come to an end.
Seeing the aggrieved look on the woman's face, as if she had bullied her, Qin Chuchu retracted her dissatisfied gaze.
He looked at a stone slab in front of him, ran straight to it and sat on it.
As if he remembered something, he turned around and looked at an old man who was watching the fun on the side.
"Old man, do you know who is the most skillful person in our Happy Home?"
"Hmm? What do you want to do, Princess?"
The old man came up and looked at Qin Chuchu in confusion, not knowing what the princess was going to do.
"Oh, I want to find some handy people to help me make a batch of shuttlecocks."
"Shuttlecock!" The old man was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"Yeah, it's made of feathers, the kind you kick around."
Afraid that the old man didn't understand, she stood up and demonstrated again, and this time the old man understood.
"Oh, oh, you mean kicking shuttlecock? I know how to do it. The kids did it when they were little in the first two years."
I thought the princess was talking about a shuttlecock, but it turned out to be the one for kicking, which I made for the children years ago.
Because copper coins were needed, even the smallest ones had to use three. Sometimes the children would kick them and lose them. I really couldn't bear to do that, so I stopped making it for them.
But Qin Chuchu was very happy. Once she heard that someone understood, the matter would be easy to handle.
"Can you do it for me? I'll give you five cents each."
As she spoke, she held up five fingers, although she didn't know whether the price was high or low.
But I estimate that doing ten or eight a day should not be a problem, and earning forty or fifty cents should be considered a high salary.
“…………”The old man was stunned.
He stared straight at Qin Chuchu in front of him, thinking that he had misheard.
You can get five cents for making a shuttlecock, which is like picking up money for free.
Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, I thought I gave too little. When I was about to increase the money, the old man nodded slowly.
"Okay, I'll do it, old man."
Looking at the old man who seemed quite excited, Qin Chuchu realized that the price was too high.
But she didn't feel sorry for him, because the old man must be around sixty years old, and he was as old as the grandfathers and grandmothers in their eighties and nineties in her previous life.
He was the kind of person who lived off the land here, but now he can earn money. He must feel that he is very useful, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.
"By the way, old man, do you know anyone who can make shuttlecocks? I need a lot of help."
She looked at the old man in front of her, and then glanced in the direction of her happy home.
If you want hundreds of thousands of children to play with shuttlecock, and put them in groups of four or five, that would require tens of thousands of shuttlecocks.
It’s not enough to just rely on the old man in front of me. I thought about hiring more people so that things can be done faster and the children can play earlier.
After hearing what he said, the old man straightened his hunched body.
"There are so many! Anyone older should know how to do it."
As he spoke, he looked at the residential area behind him.
Making the shuttlecock is not difficult at all, and any man who can speak the farmer's language should be able to do it.
"Oh, that's great." Qin Chuchu's eyes lit up and she looked at the old man again.
"Could you help me recruit more people?"
"Okay! I'll go find someone right away."
The old man nodded happily, turned around and went to recruit people. He had to tell his old brothers and sisters about this good news as soon as possible.
Seeing the old man walking as if he was about to fly, Qin Chuchu's mouth twitched fiercely.
“………………”
Running pretty fast!
After arranging things, he turned around and sat on the big stone slab, quietly waiting for the big guy to arrive.
It didn't take too long before people came running over one after another.
"Princess! Do you think these chicken feathers of mine are suitable?"
Mrs. Liu came to Qin Chuchu, holding a bundle tightly.
After carefully opening a crack, a few fluffs flew out.
“………………”Qin Chuchu.
She pinched the feather, which was not much bigger than her finger, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely.
“Isn’t this a little too small?”
I told them they wanted bigger feathers, these are too small.
"Princess, you don't know, these shuttlecocks made of small feathers are also very good! I made them when the children were little, and the fluffy ones are even more beautiful than the ones made of large feathers!"
As Mrs. Liu spoke, she held the bundle in her hands tightly, as if she were protecting a gold ingot.
Although the princess asked for large feathers, there were only two roosters at home and there were not many large feathers to pluck.
Then he plucked out the small hair, thinking that the princess might want it. At worst, he wouldn't be able to sell it for a penny. As long as she paid, he would make a profit.
"Oh, really?"
Qin Chuchu looked at Mrs. Liu in front of her with confusion, and then looked carefully at the feather in her hand.
After staring for a while, he looked at her again.
"Then I'll take it, but it can't be worth a penny when it's so small, right?"
Although I am not short of money, I can't spend it like this.
"Okay, Princess, you have the final say. Any amount is fine!"
Mrs. Liu smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. She actually guessed it right. She knew that the princess was generous and would not pluck the chicken feathers in vain.
"How about I give you ten for a penny?"
Qin Chuchu looked at Mrs. Liu in front of her with an inquiring look. After all, it was just pulled out from the chicken. It would be unfair to the chicken if she gave less.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Princess."
Mrs. Liu nodded her head rapidly, her mouth grinning almost to her ears. She was thinking that she would go back and pluck all the feathers from the remaining chicken. That would be money!
Soon, the villagers came back one after another, and like Liu Pozi, they all carried a bundle in their hands.
After checking, Qin Chuchu was quite satisfied, except that the quantity was a little small.
Before she could say anything, Mrs. Liu got ahead of her.
"The princess said that even people like me can do it, and she'll only give me one penny for ten!"
Everyone looked at the small feather in Liu Pozi's hand, and their eyes were immediately filled with surprise.
Without saying anything else, he took his bag and went home to pluck the chicken feathers. It turned out that such a small one could be used, and he could pluck a lot of them!
"Oh!" Qin Chuchu wanted to call out to them, but they had already run away.
I simply gave up. Anyway, the chicken feathers they took were not enough, so I let them go home and pluck them.
At this moment, at the base, Han Muchen and Feng Liu were soaking in a pit filled with hot spring water.
Even though it was a scorching day, I didn't feel the heat at all. It was so comfortable.
Just as he closed his eyes and looked enjoying himself, Feng Qi came over with a handful of popsicles and a grin on his face.
"Master! The princess is collecting chicken feathers in Happy Home!"
