While the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) is still warm, sow the vegetable seeds. Once those vegetables grow to the length of your finger, transplant them and you'll be able to harvest and eat them at least half a month earlier than others.
This way, we don't waste coal or firewood, and we can enjoy fresh vegetables earlier – a win-win situation.
When Fu Hongxing learned that she wanted to continue working, he thought about it and told her to wait a little longer.
After the coal mine resumed operations after the Lunar New Year, the higher-ups have been preparing to recruit another batch of people.
The main reason is that two new mine shafts have been opened, and I heard that they have a larger volume of mine shafts than all the old mine shafts combined.
This is good news, but similarly, there is a shortage of miners.
We need to recruit workers for the mines, and naturally we need to expand recruitment for other positions as well, so that if there are too many miners, other issues such as untimely canteen and logistics will cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, we need to recruit miners and support staff.
Fu Hongxing felt that someone like Ning Jing, who was good at writing and calculating, was perfectly capable of handling logistics work in the coal mine.
However, the work was rather tedious, and Fu Hongxing thought it would be better for Ning Jing to stay at home and take care of the children.
Clearly, Ning Jing is not someone who wants to stay at home and take care of her children.
Upon hearing Fu Hongxing's plan, Ning Jing thought for a moment, then shook her head and refused.
Working in a coal mine would be good, but if she and Fu Hongxing became both employed, all the household responsibilities would fall on their children.
Although Ning Jing doesn't mind her children being hardworking, it definitely doesn't include making them shoulder the burden of the family.
However, there are currently no suitable jobs for her in the village, unless she works in the fields like everyone else.
Ning Jing was unafraid to work in the fields, but it was clear that working in the fields did not demonstrate her effectiveness.
She took a walk around the village's breeding farm, and after thinking about it for a long time, she decided what she wanted to do.
"What do you want to do?"
Fu Hongxing frowned, not quite hearing what Ning Jing said.
"Rabbit hair can not only be twisted into thread to make clothes, but also used to make pens."
Ning Jing said to Fu Hongxing with great certainty.
What we did before was just a small-scale operation.
Especially rabbit fur; the village's plan is to raise rabbits primarily to sell rabbit meat and whole rabbit skins.
"A brush? You mean the calligraphy brush?"
Fu Hongxing was stunned for a long time before he reacted and asked in confusion.
But nowadays most people prefer to write with fountain pens, and they use pencils to go to school. There shouldn't be much demand for calligraphy brushes, right?
"Although the rabbit fur in our village can be twisted into thread to make clothes, a whole rabbit isn't enough for even half a garment."
If the quantity of rabbit fur garments produced is insufficient, then labor will be wasted, since washing and drying rabbit fur is quite troublesome.
As for making brushes, each one only requires a little bit; one rabbit can easily make many brushes.
Although the demand for calligraphy brushes is not high here, Ning Jing believes that in Shanghai, especially among foreign visitors, they will definitely have a special fondness for them.
Fu Hongxing pondered for a moment, then said, "Why don't we make some first? It just so happens that after the fifteenth, I need to go out and purchase a batch of parts to take to Shanghai to see if there are any sales channels."
Ning Jing nodded. Only she and her husband knew about this; they hadn't even told Tan Dingguo.
If things don't go as planned, it will only cause trouble.
Ning Jing, on the other hand, took advantage of this time to cut bamboo and start making calligraphy brushes.
The process was very slow, mainly because I wasn't familiar with it yet.
