Chapter 248 Why not announce it to the world and recruit people to wear warm clothes?
On the second floor, Jiusu shouted with a loudspeaker, "Who has geese for sale?"
Almost everyone on the first floor raised their hands.
Almost every family has geese.
Aunt Wang asked, "Boss, what do you want the goose for?"
Jiusu said, "The down jackets you're wearing are actually filled with goose and duck down. A few days ago, soldiers from the border arrived, and they had no warm clothes. I want to buy some geese and ducks and make some down jackets to send to them."
They had all seen those soldiers.
There are patches all over the body.
Aunt Wang said, "Master, I have two of these. I don't want any money. Just consider it as my contribution to the soldiers at the border."
Others also agreed.
Jiusu felt something strange in her heart, and she said with emotion: "I understand your kindness, but it's not easy to raise them. You should at least give them some money."
Chen Linghua and Jiusu looked at each other, and she raised her hand and said.
"If you have geese and ducks at home, come to my place to count them."
She whispered to the villagers and they all said that no one wanted the money. In their minds, when doing good deeds, they should not care about gains and losses or the amount of benefits.
One or two geese and ducks are nothing.
The few families who raised ducks and geese for their livelihood looked embarrassed.
Chen Linghua said, "The boss won't force you. We all understand you. One or two are generous donations."
They rubbed their hands and said, "We'll pay you at cost."
"Don't feel burdened. No one's livestock is blown away by the wind. The boss wants you to pay him. If you really feel bad, just give him one or two geese and ducks." Chen Linghua nodded. "Write down the number and I'll report it to the boss."
The duck farmer said, "Well, if the family wasn't poor, who wouldn't want to donate everything?"
The duck farmer said, "I don't make any money all year round, but I just don't lose money."
Aunt Wang smiled and soothed them, "Don't think too much, you two. We have a duck at home, and it's okay to give it away. You're the ones who make a living, so it's kind of you to offer such a low price."
Those who raise geese and ducks were all moved after hearing this.
An hour later, the ox cart was full of geese and ducks.
Jiusu transported the things to Xiu Mansion and listened to the screams that reached the sky.
Xiuying looked at the cartloads of geese and ducks, patted her chest, and said in shock, "I'm pregnant, but there's no need to eat so much. I can't finish eating them even if I give birth to seven or eight children."
Seven or eight children?
Xiong Che's eyes lit up as he looked at the woman in his arms, "Are you really giving birth?"
"Go to hell." Xiuying slapped his chest in anger, then asked, "What's going on?"
Jiusu said: "I want to cooperate with you on down jackets. I won't make money, but I won't lose anything."
Xiuying invited her into the house, stroked her slightly bulging belly, and said with a smile: "I like to do business that is not against conscience. You tell me, I will do this business with you."
Jiusu said, "Remember the down jacket I gave you? The duck and goose down fillings are very warm. I want to do something for the soldiers."
Xiuying said, "Jinxiu Pavilion is willing to do this good deed."
After returning home, Jiang Jing learned about this.
He waved the snow off his sleeves, knocked on the door and entered the study, looking at the person who was busy drawing the design. Looking at her, his heart seemed to be filled with something.
He sat next to her and brought her a cup of hot tea.
"I heard that you collaborated with the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion on down jackets?"
"Yeah." Jiusu rubbed his stiff waist, took a sip of tea and said, "Where did you hear that?"
Jiang Jing laughed and said, "Master Jiu brought cart after cart of geese and ducks. Everyone in Suming County knows about it. They say you like to eat geese and ducks."
"Huh?" Jiusu tilted his head and spread his hands helplessly, "You reminded me that the remaining geese and ducks can be sold to Shopkeeper Fang. The roast duck and roast goose are quite delicious."
Isn’t it wonderful to enjoy the snow and eat roast duck in the middle of winter?
As he touched his hungry stomach, he seemed to smell the fragrance of chicken skin.
Jiang Jing took the white jade cup away, fearing that he would wet the painstaking work of his beloved. Ah Su, who always had his own ideas, said, "With so many soldiers, I'm afraid it will be difficult for each of them to paint a piece by summer."
Jiusu sighed, held his chin in his hand and said, "You are good at discouraging people."
"Don't be upset, young lady. I'm here to offer some advice." Jiang Jing chuckled twice. Seeing her raise an eyebrow, he didn't keep her in suspense. "Why don't you announce it to the world and recruit people to wear warm clothes?"
Hearing this, Jiusu's slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
"I've made the method of making down jackets public so that everyone can make clothes for the soldiers."
Jiang Jing placed his hand on her brow, feeling happy that he could do his bit. "This matter will surely spread throughout the streets and alleys. I will send a pigeon to Shengjing. If the emperor praises it, the whole world will surely follow suit."
Jiusu hooked her arms around his shoulders, her eyes sparkling.
"Ajing, you're awesome. I'll give you half of the roast duck when the time comes." She rolled up the blueprint and skipped away.
In the afternoon, a large box was placed at the entrance of the factory, hot pot restaurant, Fangxing Building and Huating Academy, with the instructions for making down jackets posted on the box.
They all stopped.
The store also launched promotions.
A down jacket can be exchanged for coupons for dishes at a hot pot restaurant or Fangxinglou; it can also be used as a donation to reduce the tuition fees of the academy. In short, who doesn't want to make money and do good deeds at the same time?
When Yuan Ling has free time from work in the store, she sews down jackets.
On days off, I return home and live in a newly built cement house. Outsiders may say it is not perfect, but for someone who may freeze to death every year, there is nothing to complain about.
Aunt Yuan rubbed her presbyopic eyes and sighed, "If only I had eight hands."
Yuan Ling took a small stool, sat next to her mother, and looked at the sunlight coming through the glass.
She said, "Mom, don't get too tired. I reckon everyone in the city will help. In a few days, the box will be filled with down jackets. Anyway, this room is really warm."
Aunt Yuan nodded and said happily.
"A capable person has emerged in the village, and we have benefited from it."
Then she looked at her daughter.
"I'm old and can't be with you forever. If you can meet someone you truly love, go for it. But I don't dare let you marry far away. It's best to find a live-in son-in-law."
Once upon a time, their family was poor.
There are no conditions for recruiting a live-in son-in-law.
But it exists now.
Yuan Ling couldn't help but feel sick when she thought of that terrible man. She waved her hands and said, "Mom, please don't say that. I guess I'll never be able to be with a man again in this life."
Aunt Yuan said distressedly: "Forget it, as long as you can make money, I won't worry about it."
"Don't worry about me, everything that happened before will be fine." Yuan Ling thought, even if she had to look for a man, she would look for a man who is upright and not shy.
At the hour of You, it is almost dark.
Yuan Ling packed up her things and braved the wind and snow to take the last ox cart back to town. Seeing that there were few people on the ox cart, she paid five copper coins.
"Uncle, go back quickly and buy something to fill your stomach."
"Thank you very much." The old man driving the ox cart was from the same village. His son and daughter-in-law died last winter, leaving behind a frail grandson.
Yuan Ling smiled and said, we are all from the same village.
It was almost dark. She gathered her clothes and walked through the dark alley. Suddenly, she felt someone following her. She took a deep breath and quickened her pace.
But that man was faster.
She was blocked against the wall, "Who!?"
