"I don't know if my brothers are willing."
"Of course I am willing, little sister. We will do whatever you say." The fourth brother was the first to agree.
The other four also nodded.
"I want to make some handmade soaps and shampoos to sell. Handmade soap can be used for washing face, hands and bathing, and shampoo is for washing hair."
"Besides that, I also know a lot of embroidery patterns."
"So in the early stages, we can just sell embroidery samples and handmade soaps and shampoos."
"Brother, please help me make some handmade soap boxes and soap models. I will give you the drawings later."
Qiu Hansheng responded: "Okay."
"Third brother, I'll leave the inscriptions and paintings on the soap boxes and shampoo to you, okay?" In fact, the third brother should not have been involved.
But if I really don't let him participate, I'm afraid that my third brother will think too much.
Let the third brother participate first, and then let the eldest brother make the seal.
"Second brother, we'll go to town later, and I'll leave the materials we need to you in charge."
"Okay." Qiu Hanqing nodded.
The fourth child asked excitedly, "What about me? What should I do?"
"Fourth brother, please help me collect and buy peach blossoms. Only the blossoms from male trees will be collected. The female trees will be kept for the peaches. I also want all the other fragrant flowers in the mountains."
"What are these flowers used for?" The fourth child was very curious.
"Flowers have many uses. They can be used to make essential oils, floral soaps, food, and even peach blossom wine."
"But we can't rush things. We should take it one step at a time and do everything one by one. Within a month, we will definitely be able to earn enough to pay back the fifty taels of silver we owe."
Qiu Yinong's eyes were sparkling and her face was full of a confident smile.
Infected other people.
"We all listen to our little sister." The five brothers of the Qiu family said with great enthusiasm.
"Also, it's spring now. After summer, let's try making charcoal. I once read a method for making smokeless charcoal in a book."
"We'll give it a try then. If we succeed, not only will the dignitaries but even the royal family will be vying for it."
Qiu Yinong's eyes were bright and the confident smile on her face infected the five brothers of the Qiu family.
"By the way, big brother, where did my parents go?" Qiu Yinong knew that his father and mother had gone to a stone quarry in Linfu with several people from the village to work.
When autumn was approaching, a landslide occurred in the quarry, and Mr. Qiu had his legs broken in his attempt to protect Mrs. Qiu.
On the way back, he died tragically because he had no money for medical treatment.
After Qiu's mother returned home, the original owner despised and humiliated his mother in every way. Later, in order to return to the Zhao family, he actually asked why Qiu's mother didn't die.
Because of this, Qiu's mother really ended up in a dead end.
This completely angered the five brothers. Each of them slapped Qiu Yinong on the spot and drove her out.
She was not beaten to death on the spot thanks to Qiu's mother's last words.
"Father and mother work in a quarry in Luo County. They will come back in the summer." The eldest brother Qiu Hansheng replied.
Qiu Yinong nodded and said, "Brothers, our family will soon start a business."
"We're definitely short of manpower in the back, and my parents are getting old. Working in a quarry is hard work, and it won't last long."
"When we make a profit, we'll bring our parents back home."
When Qiu Hansheng and the others heard this, they felt a little ashamed, as they had never thought about this before.
"Okay, we'll listen to our sister." The five brothers spoke at the same time.
"Then let's start preparing today. Second brother, please help me find out which family has lactating ewes and collect some goat milk for me."
"Goat milk has a strong smell. Sister, do you want to drink cow's milk?" Several brothers looked at each other, with some silver and money in their hands.
My younger sister grew up in the Zhao family, so she should be a little spoiled.
"It's not that I want to drink it, but goat's milk can be used to make goat's milk soap. It has a sweet and fragrant taste, and girls and ladies will definitely like it."
Hearing Qiu Yinong's words, the second brother nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll go to Uncle Yongxi's house later. I remember that two of his ewes have given birth."
"Okay, third brother, can you lend me some rice paper and ink?" Qiu Yinong looked at the third brother again.
Qiu Hanyan nodded, and Qiu Yinong happily followed him to the rooms of the third and fourth brothers.
"What do you want the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for, sister?" The third brother pointed at the things and asked Qiu Yinong.
Qiu Yinong picked up the thinnest brush, ground it and prepared to start drawing.
"Draw a few patterns and then take them to the embroidery workshop in town to sell." As Qiu Yinong spoke, her hands began to move.
After all, she is an all-round rural anchor, so it is not difficult for her to draw a fancy pattern.
After a while, eight novel embroidery patterns were drawn on two pieces of rice paper.
Qiu Yinong blew on it and smiled with satisfaction.
As soon as she looked up, she met Qiu Hanyan's eyes, which were full of astonishment.
"My sister is really smart." Qiu Hanyan praised her generously.
I originally thought that since this sister grew up in the Zhao family, she would definitely be spoiled and willful.
I never thought that she was such a kind, smart and beautiful girl.
A smile appeared in Qiu Yinong's eyes, and her bright eyes stared at Qiu Hanyan and smiled.
Putting down the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she stood up and asked Qiu Hanyan to sit down.
"Third brother, I know a little bit about the art of medicine. I see you coughing from time to time, so it must have been a while, right?"
As he asked, his hand was already on Qiu Hanyan's wrist.
Qiu Hanyan nodded, but before he could say anything, Qiu Hanli came in and talked as he walked.
"Third brother fell into an ice cave last winter while trying to save little sister Zhiyi. If it weren't for second brother's quick eyes and hands, third brother would have been swept to the bottom of the river by the undercurrent."
Qiu Yinong listened while taking the pulse. The book originally said that the third brother fell into the icy water because of Zhao Zhiyi and became ill.
There was no explanation as to why he fell in, and for a moment Qiu Yinong became a little gossipy.
"Why did Sister Zhiyi run onto the ice and almost fall off?"
"She was also tricked by Chunlan. Chunlan herself doesn't get along with little sister Zhiyi and often plots against her."
"Sister, remember, don't play with that vicious little girl, otherwise you will be bullied." Qiu Hanli said, and then reminded Qiu Yinong.
Qiu Yinong raised her eyebrows, but when she met Qiu Hanyan's eyes, she immediately put on a smile.
Qiu Hanyan looked at her deeply and thought to himself, it seems that this sister is not as harmless as she looks.
However, he had some understanding of this new sister. She was decisive and would not change her mind once she made up her mind.
"Be careful." Qiu Hanyan suddenly spoke.
Qiu Hanli didn't understand why, but Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "I will."
"No, what are you two talking about?" Qiu Hanli scratched his head, looked at his sister and then at his third brother, not knowing what they were talking about.
What’s even more terrifying is that he was still there, but he didn’t understand anything at all.
Seeing him scratching his head, Qiu Yinong couldn't help but laugh: "It's nothing, Fourth Brother, stop scratching, or your scalp will be scratched."
