Chapter 112 Heartache
When the weather got cooler, a matchmaker came to propose marriage to Zhu Yongwu.
It's just that the marriage proposal is made to the elders of both the man and the woman, but Zhu Yongwu settled in Jiangjia Village alone with his child, and he has no direct blood relatives, so the matchmaker found Jiang Youcheng and Liu and asked them to help spread the word.
Getting married is a happy event, especially in the eyes of Jiang Youcheng and Liu. Zhu Yongwu is still young, and Zhu Guangtai is also young, so they also need to remarry. So they found an opportunity to talk to Zhu Yongwu about this matter.
When Zhu Yongwu heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and his face turned red, but he also made his position clear.
The porcelain kiln business had just started, and he wanted to focus his main energy on it. Also, because Zhu Guangtai was still young, he didn't want to remarry so early.
The child is young and doesn't understand many things. Even if he can marry a virtuous step-wife to be Zhu Guangtai's stepmother, I am afraid that the child will suffer some grievances during the adjustment period.
If you marry someone who says one thing to your face and another behind your back, your child's life will be even more difficult.
Zhu Yongwu had experienced what it was like to have a stepmother since he was a child, so he didn't dare to take the risk, nor did he want to.
After chatting for a long time, Jiang Youcheng understood what Zhu Yongwu meant and nodded repeatedly, "That's right. Okay, today you just pretend that your uncle never said anything about this."
"Uncle is thinking about me and doing this for my own good. I know it all." Zhu Yongwu didn't want to hurt the feelings of his good uncle Jiang Youcheng, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.
Jiang Youcheng grinned upon hearing this, "Okay, let's wait until later. If you have any ideas in this regard and are willing to let your uncle help you, just let me know."
As far as etiquette is concerned, many things in a wedding require the presence of elders, and you cannot do it in person.
"Okay." Zhu Yongwu agreed readily.
As the weather gradually gets cooler, the bamboo weaving workshop has stopped making bamboo fans, but at the same time, a new product category has been added - gift boxes.
During festivals and holidays, most of the cakes we buy are wrapped in oil paper and tied with thin hemp rope. Although you can tell that they are cakes at a glance, the soft oil paper wrapping does not look very presentable.
But it is different with a large octagonal bamboo gift box. It is filled with a box of pastries, which is very presentable. The name of the pastry shop is painted on the outside of the gift box, which immediately lets people know where the pastries are bought.
Furthermore, this pastry box is designed by the editor and has a handle. After eating the pastries in it, the box can be used for other purposes. If others look at the box, they will think of the pastry shop, which is a great publicity for the shop.
Jiang Mixia had a good idea, and the pastry shop also understood this, so the largest pastry shop in the county immediately ordered the first batch of 100 gift boxes from Jiang Mixia, and even signed a long-term cooperation order, asking the workshop to make packaging boxes for it on a long-term basis.
Another long-term order from a big customer was received, and the whole workshop was filled with joy.
The happiest one among them was Song Jingyun.
The smile on his face has almost never stopped recently.
First of all, I am naturally happy that the bamboo weaving workshop is doing a booming business.
Secondly, the business signed by Gaoxing Workshop is a pastry shop.
If we cooperate with a pastry shop, it will be very convenient to deliver goods and buy pastries in the future, right?
And when I came to sign the order, the pastry shop brought a lot of pastries, such as peach blossom cakes, glutinous rice rolls, honey three-knife, crispy twist...
Song Jingyun felt that he would never lack snacks for the next few days.
My wife is really amazing. She even thought of getting business like providing gift boxes to pastry shops.
Well, coming back to the point, could it be that the reason why my wife wants to cooperate with the pastry shop is because she likes to eat pastries?
My wife really feels sorry for him...
Song Jingyun scratched the back of his head and chuckled.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Jiang Mixia was making the bed, and when she saw her son-in-law standing there, she called him over to help, "Come over and help me roll up the mat."
Song Jingyun came to his senses and hurried to help roll up the mat.
As the weather gets cooler, the mat is no longer needed. It needs to be rolled up and put away and laid out again when it gets hot next year.
The mat used at home is different from the simple herringbone pattern mat. It is made of thin bamboo strips tied together with thin ropes, just like the modern mat.
The mat has a bound edge, so it is very smooth and easy to roll up.
Song Jingyun rolled up the mat quickly, and then placed the rolled cylinder on the ground to make it smoother.
While doing this, he said, "A cool mat is so big, but when rolled up, it only takes up a small tube like this, which saves a lot of space."
"Of course, because..."
Jiang Mixia was stunned for a moment before she finished speaking.
Yes, something as big as a mat can be rolled up.
Then why not make a fan with a structure like a mat, and hold it horizontally when in use, with the bamboo strips and handle of the fan perpendicular to each other. This will keep the fan flat and smooth. When not in use, rotate the fan 90 degrees and the fan can be rolled up like a mat.
Isn’t this just a fan that can fan air when in use and can be rolled up without taking up space when not in use?
Jiang Mixia suddenly became excited, and hurriedly found some thin bamboo strips to try it out. She made a folding fan that could be rolled up, which was exactly the same as she had imagined.
"A fan can actually be done like this?" Song Jingyun exclaimed in amazement.
"I got this inspiration from your suggestion, so this is also your contribution." Jiang Mixia said with a smile, "But the weather is cooler this year, and the fans are no longer needed. When the spring and summer turn next year, we can have the workshop produce them in large quantities."
Another new business opportunity! Jiang Mixia's nose turned red with excitement.
I can make a lot of money again! Song Jingyun was also very happy.
What happened next made Song Jingyun even happier.
Because the whole family discussed it and wanted to use the money they had saved over the past year to buy some land.
Buying land, collecting rent, and living a life of leisure and having delicious food to eat every day was Song Jingyun's initial and ultimate goal, and it has never changed.
Now the family wants to buy some land. Although the amount of land is not as much as he imagined, it is at least the first step towards becoming a big landowner.
This gave Song Jingyun hope of achieving his goal.
Therefore, on the way to the dental clinic in the county town, Song Jingyun was in a very excited state.
The dental office is bustling and the guys are even busier.
Upon learning that Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun wanted to buy land, the clerk recommended some fields that the sellers needed to sell recently based on the number of acres they wanted to buy and their budget.
