"Yes, the weather is getting colder, so we have to buy some new clothes for our family. The clerk in the cloth shop saw that we bought so much and it was not easy to carry them, so he took the initiative to send them back for us. We will be busy from now on, as we have endless clothes to make." Xiao's mother didn't want to be idle. She felt fulfilled when she had something to do.
However, Jiang Sui was troubled by the task of making clothes, as she had no talent at all for needlework.
"Mother, I guess you, my second sister-in-law, and Lanlan will have to work harder. My needlework is really unbearable to watch. I'm afraid that the clothes I make will not be worn out."
When Xiao's mother heard this, she was happy and waved her hand:
"It's okay, we can just do it. You just watch from the side while I make you two beautiful skirts. When the skirts are ready, we can comb our hair into a beautiful bun. With our looks, won't those girls on the street be envious of us?"
She is very confident about the looks of her two daughters-in-law, both of whom are among the best.
Jiang Sui was amused by Xiao's mother. She had never worn a silk skirt since she came to this strange world. She was really looking forward to it.
The brothers moved all the things back home, and then the mothers started to get busy.
Zhou was responsible for embroidering quilt covers for a total of six beds. It was a simple and easy task and could be completed in a few days.
Xiao's mother and Lanlan made clothes, and Lanlan's needlework was also quite delicate.
You also need to fill some cotton inside the dress to keep out the cold and keep warm.
Jiang Sui did not sit idle either. He also learned from the side, helped with cooking and cleaning the house.
When I have free time, I will go to the snack street outside to see if there are any suitable storefronts.
The flow of people on the street is really good, and almost every snack shop has a certain number of customers.
The street hygiene is well maintained, and everyone is very conscientious in keeping the area in front of their shops clean.
Jeju Prefecture is indeed a superior province, and it is rare to see even a beggar begging on the streets.
There are only two months left before the Chinese New Year. We have to book the shop and start the hot and sour noodle business at the beginning of next year.
Once the business is stable, we can also develop other snacks to sell and increase income.
She took a look and found a few good stores. She would just tidy them up and promote them well.
However, I still need to go back and discuss the matter of renting a shop with my family. It is not a trivial matter, but a long-term plan for the family.
The brothers of the Xiao family were also busy. After staying at home for two days, they went out to find things to do.
For the eldest, second and third sons, the family does not have much savings, the rent of this courtyard is high, and the cost of living in Jeju is also high. A bowl of noodles outside costs a few cents more than in Baima Town. If they don't find something to do and add some income to the family, they will feel guilty.
Firstly, Xiao Qin has a son to support, and Xiao Mian has a wife to support. Although Xiao Yi is single now, he also has to save some money for his wife, right?
Secondly, the three brothers had no special skills but endless energy, so they were definitely looking for physical work.
Jeju Prefecture is an economic and transportation fortress, not only with well-developed land transportation but also with well-developed water transportation. Daqing’s famous canal transportation has a large dock in Jeju.
The canal transportation was built on the Xuanjiang River, which connected the south, the central and the north, and the north-south water transportation. Under certain conditions, many merchants chose to take the water route, which was safe, convenient and fast.
There are a lot of goods loading and unloading at the dock every day, and if young men want to make money, they almost always go to the dock.
The work at the dock is paid on a daily basis. The more you work, the more you earn, helping to load and unload goods.
Some people can earn a few hundred yuan a day at most if they work a lot.
It is very profitable, but the work is very tiring and tests one's endurance.
The three brothers asked around and finally heard that there was work available at the dock.
So the three brothers went to the dock excitedly. When they arrived at the dock, the river breeze was humid and the view was wide. Several large ships were lined up by the dock waiting to unload.
The workers were also queuing up to move goods, and the owners of the cargo ships were resting and supervising the work in a specially set up tea shed.
The three of them had just stepped onto the dock when a boss spotted them. He happened to be short of people, and seeing that the three of them were tall and strong, he walked straight over to them.
"Hey, the three of you come over here and help me unload the goods. One box is five cents, and the big ones are eight cents. Go over here and register your names. You'll get one box for each one you move. The more you work, the more you earn.
However, you guys have to be careful, my box is filled with porcelain, which is very valuable, so don't break it, or you won't be able to afford the compensation."
Five cents for a box. The reason why they can give so much is to prove that their goods are of high value and worth a lot of money.
The three brothers were very happy as they had work to do as soon as they arrived.
But at the same time, he was also very cautious. Xiao Yi suggested that the three brothers only need to remember two names, and the three of them can work together to make money, with two people working together to lift large items and one person lifting small items.
Firstly, it improves efficiency and allows you to earn more by moving more goods. Secondly, two people can ensure the safety of the goods.
They are here to make money, not to lose money.
After deciding on a plan and taking note of names, the three of them started to work. Their method of working together to move goods was especially useful; it also made it easy for everyone and the work was done quickly.
The boss took a look and was very impressed by the good coordination between the three brothers.
There are many people who want to make money at this dock, but few are willing to use their brains. Some reckless and greedy workers inevitably destroy the goods.
Just now, a worker wanted to earn more money, so he went to move a large item by himself. However, he underestimated his own strength and with a bang, he failed to lift the box and two porcelain vases inside were broken.
Although these porcelains were just produced from the kiln not long ago and each single item is not very valuable, if one is damaged, one has to pay several taels of silver in compensation, and with this compensation, all the work of several months this year has been in vain.
The boss was very unhappy and the worker also looked dejected.
When the three brothers saw this, they became more vigilant while working.
Finally all the goods were moved down. The three of them worked for an hour and moved thirty boxes of large items and twenty-five boxes of small items.
After some calculation, the total amount is three hundred and sixty-five coins.
If divided, each person could get 120 coins. With the extra 5 coins, they bought a few meat pies, one for each person to replenish their energy.
They are also lucky that they can get such a lucrative job as soon as they arrive.
In fact, work at the dock is not available every day. You have to wait for the ship to dock, and it also depends on the value of the goods.
And you have to come and wait every day, otherwise you will miss out and lose the money.
Today happened to be the day when the ship docked, and then the three brothers moved the seafood boat. The fresh fish and shrimp in Jeju market all come from here.
However, it only costs two cents to carry a basket of fish and shrimp, but they still enjoy doing it.
When they returned home in the evening, each of the three brothers had earned about 300 coins.
