Jiang Bai welcomed the people into the house and then took out the animal fur he had stored.
"Aunties who don't have enough wool can buy some from me. I won't charge you much; it's 110 wool per tael."
Some people hadn't collected much animal hair yet, and today they just wanted to learn how to make their own sweaters at home once they had collected more.
Hearing that Jiang Bai was selling them, I couldn't help but be tempted.
"Da Ya, I... I don't have any money on me. Can I bring it to you tomorrow?"
Most of the women who came over were daughters-in-law who were in charge of managing the household.
Some people, even though they had silver in their hands, dared not carry it around casually.
Jiang Bai's current residence is far from Jiangjia Village, and a round trip takes a whole day.
They didn't want to waste time.
But Jiang Bai had a fearsome reputation, so when the aunt spoke, her voice was very soft.
"sure."
Having invited the people over, Jiang Bai was already prepared to give them animal fur on credit, and immediately asked the aunt how much she wanted.
The first group of people who came were all chosen by the village head's wife and were people of decent character.
I only got one ounce on credit.
Seeing that someone had succeeded, others also asked to buy some on credit.
Soon, everyone had enough animal pelts.
Jiang Bai took out a wooden basin and taught them step by step, and the aunties learned diligently.
At the end of the first day, everyone washed the wool in their hands, and then selected the wool that the village head's wife had washed and put it next to the drying oven to dry. Jiang Bai slowed down his movements to teach everyone how to twist the yarn.
As the afternoon approached and dusk fell, the villagers successfully finished making their yarn.
"After you all go back, dry the washed wool, twist it into yarn, and come back tomorrow. I will teach you how to knit sweaters."
After thanking them, the women went back to the village together.
"Er Ya, take Da Ju and see him off."
"Tell the big orange cat to stop howling, so it doesn't scare people."
"I understand, elder sister."
Jiang Lu responded and went out the door.
Although it's getting dark now, it will still be more than an hour before it gets completely dark.
Jiang Lu escorted everyone to the edge of Pingshan and only turned back after confirming that everyone had left safely.
The group of people who came from the village were all honest and kind. Even so, they couldn't help but talk about how Jiang Baihua bought animal hair for 100 cash per tael, but sold it to them for 110 cash.
Although they felt they had spent an extra ten coins, they were actually the ones who benefited from Jiang Bai's willingness to teach them.
A group of people were talking on the road, carrying torches in their hands.
Time flies.
The next day, they got up early and, ignoring the cold, headed towards Jiang Bai's house.
Some more people were added today.
Upon arriving at their destination, Jiang Bai didn't exchange pleasantries with them. Instead, he picked up a bamboo stick and began teaching.
Watching as a few balls of yarn were transformed into a thick sweater in Jiang Bai's hands, an aunt hesitated for a long time before suddenly asking, "Da Ya, can we... can we teach this skill to other people?"
The village head's wife frowned.
"Daqing's wife, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Da Ya is willing to teach us this skill because we are fellow villagers. Don't be ungrateful."
Her face was already looking rather pale.
Daqing's wife is usually a very clever person, how could she say such a thing?
Jiang Bai looked at the aunt with a half-smile and said, "Auntie is right. I'm willing to teach you all because we're all from the same village. Although I can't stop you from teaching this skill to others, animal hair isn't so easy to collect."
The village head's wife quickly said gently, "Hey, Daya, don't mind her. When we get back, I'll talk to your uncle and have him talk to the villagers about it."
Jiang Bai's expression softened somewhat.
"I trust my aunt."
Some of the aunties who came with them also looked somewhat unnatural, and lowered their heads with a hint of shame.
This sweater doesn't look difficult to make. Everyone has relatives, so naturally, the idea of teaching this skill to relatives came to mind.
"However, I am not a stingy person. It's just that it costs ten copper coins per person to learn a craft here."
“These aunties are from my village, and they have helped me a lot in the past, so I won’t accept this money.”
"But if you want to teach this skill to others, you can spend ten copper coins to learn it from me and then teach others. We'll split the copper coins we receive fifty-fifty."
"But this means we'll need to register the names."
Everyone was stunned when they heard that it only cost ten copper coins.
In particular, if you take ten copper coins out to teach other people, you can collect another ten copper coins.
Although I can only take five, this is still a skill.
The aunties started to get creative.
Originally, they only wanted to teach their relatives for free, but now that they have Jiang Bai, they not only don't have to offend their relatives, but they can also receive money.
If they are unwilling to pay, then bring out Jiang Bai.
"Da Ya, is this something anyone can learn and then go out and teach apprentices?"
The village head's wife wasn't blinded by this.
They've all tried knitting before; they can knit, but they can't knit as beautifully as Jiangbai.
Some people pull the hooks so tight when they weave that they come loose if you're not careful.
"Of course not."
"You need to have a good-looking finished product before you can go out and teach others."
"After all, if you're charging someone ten copper coins, you can't just use some lousy skill to fool them, can you?"
Jiang Bai smiled and shook his head.
"Da Ya is right."
"Don't worry about not having enough animal fur. Feel free to buy from me or on credit. But there are some rules to follow when buying on credit."
