Chapter 101 The Reverse
"But it's not that easy to make this thing. I have to go back and think about it carefully, and ask the masters in the workshop to study it carefully. If it can be made, I will bring it to Manager Sun to see."
"Okay." Shopkeeper Sun nodded repeatedly.
When ordinary people do business, if the buyer asks for better things when delivering goods, the seller will feel uncomfortable and frown. But Madam Jiang still has a smile on her face and is willing to make better things. She is also quite humble when speaking, which makes people feel comfortable like being bathed in spring breeze.
There is a reason why Mrs. Jiang’s bamboo weaving workshop has been able to succeed!
After leaving Zheng's, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun went to the vicinity of Qiu's.
Fang and Jiang Maihua had moved from their home to the county town some time ago and lived with Jiang Chunshi. The yard they lived in was in a small alley near Qiu's house.
It is a square courtyard with a total of four rooms.
In addition to Jiang Chunshi and Fang, there was another family living in the yard, also a young couple with two children.
Her husband, Song Deshui, was also a worker at Qiuji. He started working at Qiuji at about the same time as Jiang Chunshi, but he did not do manual work. He was responsible for entertaining guests and delivering goods. His wife, Ms. Wan, had a son and a daughter. The brother, Song Jin, was eight years old, and the sister, Song Qiao, was six years old.
Song Deshui's family is also a farming family. Because his cousin worked as a coachman in Qiuji's family, he was recommended to work in Qiuji. Song Deshui is an honest person and does things steadily, and he has a good reputation in Qiuji.
Just when he learned that Jiang Chunshi was going to rent a yard to bring his wife and daughter over, Song Deshui also had this idea. After discussing with Jiang Chunshi, the two families rented a yard together and lived together.
It is not easy for farmers to settle down in the county town. They are unfamiliar with the place. If two families live together, at least they can take care of each other and share some of the burden if any problems arise.
Jiang Chunshi also thought it was appropriate.
Now the two families live together and have almost tidied up the house, making it look like home.
Jiang Maihua was the happiest when she saw Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun coming. She clamored for Jiang Mixia to hug her, kiss her, and lift her up high.
He even hurriedly pulled Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun to introduce them to Song Jin and Song Qiao, "My aunt and uncle are both amazing. They know everything!"
Jiang Maihua, who is already over three years old, speaks much more fluently now than last year. However, her speech is still full of babyish tones and the unclearness that is unique to young children, which makes the adults laugh.
"Okay, you're showing off again." Fang smiled and invited Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun to work in the main room.
Seeing that there were guests in the house, Wan took Song Jin and Song Qiao to greet them briefly, and then went back to her own room.
When Jiang Mixia came, she bought a lot of cakes and snacks and asked Jiang Maihua to take them to the siblings Song Jin and Song Qiao.
After all, they were just children playing with other children. Even though Jiang Maihua wanted Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun to come, she never came back after taking the pastries to look for the Song Jin siblings.
In the main room, the giggles of Jiang Maihua and Song Jin, brother and sister, could be clearly heard.
Obviously, the two families have a good relationship.
Jiang Mixia looked around.
"When I came here before, I saw that the house was half-old and half-new, and it was a mess inside. This time, my sister-in-law has cleaned it up so well. It's not much worse than my home."
"I cleaned it up with Sister Wan. It was a lot of small tasks. It took us half a month." Fang smiled and said, "How is the family? Are the workshop and the porcelain kiln business going well? Are uncle and aunt in good health?"
"All good." Jiang Mixia replied with a smile, "My parents were thinking about my sister-in-law, so they happened to be here to deliver the goods today, so they asked me to bring some things over."
"The bowls, plates, and basins from the porcelain kiln, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo dustpans, and the tea that was sent from the tea garden last time. I still have a lot at home, and it's good for daily drinking. I'll bring some back with me this time..."
Just now Fang was helping to move things, and there was a huge pile of all kinds of things. Now taking a closer look, there were indeed a lot of things sent by Jiang Mixia and his wife, from large items to small items such as tea and cloth.
Fang was full of embarrassment, "As my sister-in-law, I have to let you, my younger sister, worry about everything for me..."
"Sister-in-law, what polite words are you saying? When I was young, my elder brother also helped the family a lot. Now that I, as the younger sister, have made progress, shouldn't it be the other way around?"
In the past, Jiang Mixia was mentally retarded, and Jiang Youcheng took her to see doctors everywhere every year. When the family was short of money and couldn't handle the work in the fields, it was the eldest wife who came to help.
At that time, Fang also helped Liu with needlework and delivered vegetables to the family.
Enthusiasm, of course, is repaid with enthusiasm.
Seeing Jiang Mixia say this, Fang stopped saying these polite words and just handed the handkerchief she had recently embroidered to Jiang Mixia.
Fang was good at needlework. After arriving in the county town, she was not as busy as at home, so she thought about learning some embroidery skills to supplement the family income and avoid the stressful life in the county town.
Although she was good at needlework, she was still a novice when it came to embroidery. She could only find an embroiderer with decent skills through Jiang Chunshi and start learning from the most basic level.
"This handkerchief is for practice. The style is not very good. Xiao Xia, please don't dislike it."
Jiang Mixia took it and looked at it.
It can indeed be seen that it was embroidered by a novice, but Fang had a basic foundation, and the stitches were very smooth. Moreover, this handkerchief was obviously embroidered specially for Jiang Mixia, with a word "Xia" embroidered in the corner.
Whether something is good or not, the most important thing is the thought behind it.
Jiang Mixia thanked her and chatted with Fang for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she said goodbye and went home.
For the next few days, Jiang Mixia was thinking about what Manager Sun had mentioned about the fan.
It also needs to be thin and useful, easy to carry, and able to be folded up like a folding fan...
Jiang Mixia held the charcoal stick and drew on the paper for a long time, but still had no clue. In the end, she could only sigh.
It turns out that you can't have both effectiveness and portability.
Jiang Mixia frowned.
"Madam." Song Jingyun walked into the house excitedly and handed Jiang Mixia a bamboo hat.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Mixia was a little surprised.
"The two villages of Dayangshu and Sunjiazhuang are having a festival. They have put up a stage together to perform a play. My parents asked us to go and take a look and buy some things at the same time." Song Jingyun answered truthfully.
Holding a festival is a custom in the nearby villages, and each village has a fixed day every year.
On the day of the party, relatives and friends of the family would come to visit and eat and drink.
Every household in the village was entertaining their relatives, and there were many people coming and going. Naturally, the vendors also saw this business opportunity and knew which villages were holding the festival, so they would bring their goods and toys to set up stalls and sell them.
