There are four feet of cotton in two colors. Excluding the loss, there are a total of 11 hair ties.
I bought a small amount of yarn material, but only 5 finished products were produced. The pears were tied with green ribbons, which looked very fairy-like. They were quite nice.
"Li Li, what do you want to eat for lunch? Mommy made steamed eggplant with salted fish. Do you want to eat it? Don't you like fresh eggplant right after it arrives?"
Chen Xianyun heard the sound of the sewing machine and walked towards the main room. She saw Jiang Li's finished hair ties neatly placed in a bamboo basket, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Pear, what is this? It's really strange."
"Mom, this is a hair band. Use it to tie your hair. I'll make some and sell it to see if I can make some money."
Jiang Li picked up a light yellow braid and tied it into the tail of Chen Xianyun's braid. This was the braid that Chen Xianyun found for her last time. She practiced with it and it was not wasted, so she made it today.
"Oh, girl, why are you still playing with these beautiful things at my age? I don't like it."
"Besides, you're making this to sell for money, how can I do that?"
Chen Xianyun said this, but still let Jiang Li take off her hair tie and put a hair band on her.
"This is how selling things works. People will buy things only when they see that you have done a good job of tying your hair. This is called the advertising effect.
Mom, you should help me advertise."
"Okay, Mom, take a look at it and see if it looks good." Jiang Li handed the mirror over. Chen Xianyun looked left and right, with a big smile on her face. "Yes, it looks good. I feel like I'm a few years younger!"
"Lizi, how much do you plan to sell this for?"
Jiang Li also smiled, "I've calculated the cost. This kind of cotton wool is about 30 cents a piece. I'm going to sell it for one dollar.
This kind of yarn is a bit more expensive, costing about 65 cents and selling for 1.5 yuan."
Chen Xianyun heard this and quickly took the hair tie and said, "Such a small thing is so expensive, Mom, don't sell it, you can sell it for money."
"Mom, I make money so that everyone can live a good life. Killing pigs and not being able to eat the meat, isn't that a joke?"
Chen Xianyun was touched, but she couldn't say anything. She held Jiang Li in her arms and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work. Mom will cook for you."
"Mom, I'll go with you."
Jiang Li licked her lips. Speaking of eggplant, she wanted to eat salted fish and eggplant casserole.
Chen Xianyun dug out the salted fish that were drying at home. The fish were distributed by the team during the Chinese New Year. There were two fish in total. She was reluctant to eat them, so she dried them and kept them until now.
First, chop the salted fish into small pieces, and fry them in a little bit of oil until they turn golden brown.
Squeeze out the water from the marinated eggplants in advance, stir-fry in the same pan, add soy sauce, a little sugar, and half a bowl of water to the sauce, simmer for a while and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, it was no exaggeration to say that water was flowing out of the river.
Chen Xianyun is a good cook, and after Jiang Li said that, she replicated the taste and it was not worse than the one in the hotel.
The soft, glutinous and fragrant eggplant and sweet potato rice are served one bowl after another. If you get tired of it, have a bowl of tomato soup.
The old lady, who also had a few teeth, slowly ground the salted fish in her mouth, "Yun Na, your cooking skills are really good. I have never been disappointed in your life."
Chen Xianyun smiled, "Mom, if you like it, eat more. Eat more pears too. You can be frugal in other areas, but you can't skimp on the things you put into your mouth."
Old Madam Qi nodded, "That's right. This poor boy has a bad body and a bad stomach. Haven't you seen the young men in the village? They eat well, are strong and tall.
It's all thanks to you that our Shaoqiang has grown so big."
"Mom, you should eat more too!"
Jiang Li ate her rice and did not forget to pick up some vegetables for Chen Xianyun. Chen Xianyun picked a grain of rice near Jiang Li's mouth and said, "Eat slowly. You look like a cat."
The old lady laughed again. Jiang Li felt embarrassed and buried her head in her bowl. The family of three was very happy.
After dinner, Jiang Li took the initiative to ask to wash the dishes and pots. She couldn't stay idle at home all the time and had to share some housework.
But she didn't expect Chen Xianyun to stop her from working. "You go and do your own thing. I'll take care of this little thing."
Jiang Li had no choice, and just as she was about to finish her hairpin, she rode her wedding dowry, a new two-wheeled bicycle, and headed straight for Dashuping.
At the same time, she received many pointing and malicious looks from members.
"Have you heard that Qi Shaoqiang's new wife has many lovers in Dashuping?"
"Ah? Then isn't Qi Shaoqiang a cuckold?"
"Look, Jiang Li has only been here for a few days, and she is rushing to Dashuping. She must be in a hurry to date her old lover!"
"Who is her lover? Can he be more handsome than Qi Shaoqiang?"
"I heard it was a dung picker from Dashuping Village. What's his name? Er Laizi.
You say this person has a strange taste. Why would he choose such a picky old bachelor when there are so many good-looking young ladies out there? "
"Who says it's not?"
At this point, the two of them covered their mouths and smiled at each other.
Jiang Li braked her bike and stopped in front of the two women she had just gossiped with. She stopped the bike expressionlessly and asked, "Did you see me cheating?"
They didn't speak loudly just now, how come Jiang Li heard it?
The shorter woman took a step back in fear, her face full of guilt.
The tall woman gave Jiang Li a blank look. What could a delicate girl do? Even if she heard it, what would it matter?
She said that it was actually true.
"Shao Qiang's wife, I didn't say this just because I did. Everyone in the village is talking about it.
You haven't done anything like that, so why would anyone say that? It must be because you are not a good wife and were seen flirting with someone."
Jiang Li didn't say anything. She grabbed a woman's hair and swung it hard to the left.
"I stole your two fathers and gave birth to you two shameless, chattering beasts.
If I had known you were so mean, I would have drowned you both when you were born, so that you wouldn't be here chewing your mother's tongue."
Ahhhhhh, the two women felt severe pain in their scalps after being grabbed by her hair. That damn girl was very strong. She swung them all over the place, and they couldn't even catch her with their hands.
The top of her head felt cold, as if sweat was dripping down. The short woman, Tao Xiaofeng, reached out and touched it. Her hand was red and she immediately screamed, "Blood, it's blood!"
Jiang Li held a handful of hair in each of her left hands. The longer one on the left belonged to Tao Xiaofeng, and the shorter one on the left belonged to Sun Xiufang.
She threw her hair to the ground with a look of disgust, "Damn it, rinse your mouths when you wash your hair, don't let your mouths spray shit."
Seeing that half of her hair was bald, Tao Xiaofeng burst into tears, "I'm not just saying a few words, you dead girl are so cruel, I'm going to sue the captain."
