Chapter 146 Brown Skin (Part 2)
"Here, and here."
Everyone was shouting, and Jiang Zhiluo looked around to make sure there were some everywhere.
After it was thrown down, the crowd rushed forward to grab it.
If something fell on the ground, everyone would squat down and pick it up.
No matter whether there is dirt on it, just wipe it lightly and put it in the bag.
Jiang Zhiluo experienced the feeling of raising some dim sum, and the corners of her mouth turned up, with her eyebrows curved and she smiled.
Seeing her happy expression, Cui Hejin had a faint smile on his face.
Liu Ting'an was talking to Cui Hejin next to him. Suddenly, he saw the smile on Cui Hejin's face and was shocked.
He has known Brother Cui for such a long time, but has never seen Brother Cui smile.
When he followed Cui Hejin's gaze, he found out why Brother Cui was laughing.
I was shocked and sighed for a long time.
The sounds of villagers talking and laughing filled my ears.
"Oh, I got it, I got it."
"Such a beautiful snack, it smells delicious."
"And here, here..."
“There are so many…”
Those who grabbed or picked up the snacks shouted excitedly.
Jiang Zhiluo was throwing snacks on top, but she was actually controlling it with her wood-based abilities, trying to ensure that everyone could get the snacks.
There were also children. Looking at their eager eyes, Jiang Zhiluo felt soft in her heart.
Fortunately, she did more, and when she raised the snacks, she controlled the speed when they reached the ground, and dropped them into the hands of some children, trying her best to let them catch them.
Seeing the children in the village smiling excitedly after receiving the snacks, Jiang Zhiluo also smiled.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't come down from the beam until all the snacks were served.
Cui Hejin watched carefully from below, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Zhiluo landed safely.
At this time, everyone came over with a smile to thank Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo responded to everyone with a smile.
…
After Jiang Zhiluo worked for a few days, the house was completely built.
However, the Cui family was not in a hurry to move in.
Cui Hejin still remembered that Jiang Zhiluo said she wanted to go back to her parents' home.
He specifically found a time to take half a day off.
When Jiang Zhiluo learned that Cui Hejin had taken a leave of absence, she looked up at him during lunch and asked, "Will taking a leave of absence have any consequences?"
She didn't quite understand what private school teachers had to do in that era.
It seems that in modern times, it is not so easy to ask for leave.
Cui Hejin said, "They will be reciting in the afternoon, so it won't affect them."
Jiang Zhiluo thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's okay for me to go back by myself."
Cui Hejin said gently, "I promised to accompany you to visit your parents."
"If I don't go, my parents will get worried."
Jiang Zhiluo thought about it and agreed. The last time she went back, her parents asked her why Cui Hejin didn't go.
In the eyes of parents, when a woman gets married and returns to her parents' home, she usually brings her husband with her.
And if it happens too many times, the people in Xingshan Village will start gossiping when they see it.
She wasn't worried about these things, but her parents lived in Xingshan Village, and it wouldn't be good for the villagers to gossip about them behind their backs.
She also has to worry about something.
After lunch, Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin took the things they had prepared long ago and went to Xingshan Village.
When she got home, Jiang Zhiluo saw the palm bark drying in the yard as soon as she entered the door.
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes lit up. Did her parents find the palm bark?
"Sister! Brother-in-law!"
"Sister! Brother-in-law!"
At this time, the Jiang family had just finished lunch and cleaned up. Jiang Yunmian and Xuanxuan saw Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin and ran out excitedly.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Xiangchuan and the others also came out.
The family happily exchanged a few words of concern with each other, then went into the house and sat down to talk.
Jiang Zhiluo talked about the main purpose of her visit.
"Dad, do you still have a bellows at home?"
"The bellows, I don't have any left. My daughter, do you need one? I'll make another one."
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "It's not that I need it, but a scholar friend of He Jin went to my house and saw that the bellows were useful and wanted to buy one."
Jiang Xiangchuan and Ye were very happy when they heard that someone else wanted to buy the bellows.
This way you can earn more.
"With these businesses, our family will have a continuous income."
Jiang Zhiluo was relieved to see that her parents, brothers, and sisters all looked good. "By the way, Mom and Dad, how are the straw sandals selling?"
Ye explained, "Our straw sandals have been selling well at the markets these past few times."
"But this time at the market, there's a new shop selling straw sandals. Although they're not as good as ours, they're cheaper, only four cents each, and quite a few people are buying them."
"But this is manual labor. Now I'm proficient in weaving. I can make a pair whenever I have time. It doesn't affect my work. I can earn more money by selling a pair."
"One can sell it for hundreds of coins at the market."
This made Ye very satisfied.
Jiang Zhiluo looked towards the yard and said, "Dad and Mom, I saw the brown skin in the yard. Did you find it?"
Jiang Xiangchuan smiled as he spoke of this. "This is all thanks to your fourth brother. He's been searching everywhere lately and actually found a patch of palm trees. It's not far from our house, about five miles away."
"A couple of days ago, our family went there together and brought back a lot of palm bark."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiluo said happily, "Dad, this is how we can make a straw raincoat."
"I've written down the detailed steps for making a straw raincoat on a piece of paper. You'll understand it at a glance, Dad."
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo handed the blueprint to Jiang Xiangchuan.
Jiang Xiangchuan's eyes lit up as soon as he saw it. "My daughter, your drawing is very detailed. Dad will know how to make it after seeing it."
"These palm barks can make about ten straw raincoats. If that's not enough, we can go to the mountains and cut some back. There's plenty there."
Jiang Xiangchuan thought about it and made three straw raincoats for his daughter and her family.
This way, it will be convenient for my daughters to go out and do things on rainy days without worrying about getting wet.
I also make a few at home and keep them as backup.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Dad, you can make straw raincoats and sell them at the market."
Ye thought for a moment and said, "I saw straw raincoats being sold at the market before, but few people bought them."
Jiang Xiangchuan said, "It's still too expensive. Villagers rarely go out on rainy days. If they have to go out, they won't buy straw raincoats, even if they have to use straw to keep out the rain. Each one costs more than a hundred coins."
Jiang Zhiluo originally thought that the price could be lower, but once the price of the raincoats they sold was cheaper, it would disrupt the price balance in the market.
Other people selling straw raincoats may still rely on this little money to make a living.
So price war is not the main problem.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mom and Dad, try making a few and selling them first. If they don't sell well, we can use them for our own use."
"When I find bamboo later, I can make an umbrella."
When Jiang Zhiluo was walking around the town before, she found that many people were buying umbrellas.
Jiang Yunshu said, "Sister, I asked someone and they said we've seen bamboo here. Let's find out where it is."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, if we can make umbrellas out of bamboo, each umbrella costs three hundred coins. If many people buy them, we can make money."
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo also gave Jiang Xiangchuan the umbrella production drawings.
In this way, you can make umbrellas directly from the bamboo you find.
