Chapter 67 Cooperation
"Really?" Liu squinted at Jiang Youcheng, "When did you become so attentive?"
Jiang Youcheng, the rough guy, chuckled and said, "I also saw that it's too cold in the winter. I have some rabbit skins, and I can make anything out of them. It will keep you warm, especially making insoles. Putting them inside your shoes will keep you warm."
"It's amazing that you still care about the children." Liu also had a slight smile on her face, "There are a lot of rabbit skins here, and the children can use more than they need. I will also make you a collar and insoles when the time comes."
Just say that his wife still cares about him.
"Okay." Jiang Youcheng nodded excitedly.
Jiang Youcheng had a smile on his face all morning.
The person who laughs feels a little uneasy inside.
Jiang Banggu and the other three who were working here didn't dare to say anything, but the more Song Jingyun looked at Jiang Youcheng, the more he felt something was wrong. Finally, during lunch, he couldn't help but quietly asked Jiang Mixia, "Why is Dad so happy today?"
"I seemed to hear that mother was going to make a collar and insoles for father. Maybe she was happy about it." Jiang Mixia answered in a low voice.
"Oh." Song Jingyun seemed to be thinking about something.
Yes, his mother made new clothes and collars for him and Jiang Mixia, and he was very happy.
You should be happy to have new clothes to wear.
And the clothes here are also very beautiful.
But if you think about it this way, it seems that Dad is not much better than him, and he will also be happy about the new clothes...
Dad still has the nerve to call him a child all the time? Song Jingyun curled his lips.
After lunch, a carriage came to Jiang Mixia’s house.
The people who came were Zheng and Zheng Yuanhe.
Jiang Mixia was quite surprised by this. After some hospitality and greetings, she asked, "Does Shopkeeper Zheng want to come in advance to get the pattern?"
"That's what I was thinking." Zheng smiled and replied, "The last set of little tiger puppets sold very well. We've sold more than ten sets. I thought we'd strike while the iron is hot and make some new puppets."
"So I came here suddenly to see how the pattern is drawn by Madam Jiang. Can I take it away in advance?"
"The drawings have been drawn, and the clay figurines have also been made, but they were just made yesterday, and they haven't dried completely yet. If you really want to take them away, you can, but you have to be careful. Go back and let them dry completely before using them as molds." Jiang Mixia said.
"Then I'll take it first and go back to ask the masters to keep it carefully." Zheng suggested.
Since the buyer doesn't mind the hassle of taking it back, Jiang Mixia naturally has no problem with it and readily agrees, "Then I'll pack these things for Shopkeeper Zheng now?"
"Madam Jiang, please don't be in a hurry. It won't be too late to take it when you leave later." Zheng said, "I came to see Madam Jiang today, not only to get the pattern, but also to discuss other things with you."
"This is my eldest brother from my mother's family. He opened a grocery store in the county town, mainly selling various sundries. He saw that Madam Jiang's family made bamboo baskets and baskets, and the craftsmanship was very delicate, so he wanted to talk to Madam Jiang about this business."
Zheng Yuanhe took over the conversation, "It's a pity for you to come here with me this time. I wonder if Madam Jiang has this intention?"
"I guess the two shopkeepers have seen that there are people working in the yard. My father and husband are teaching apprentices how to weave bamboo baskets. The family also intends to expand this workshop so that more things can be made every day."
Jiang Mixia said, "Shopkeeper Zheng has this intention, and I am also looking forward to it. I just don't know how much goods Shopkeeper Zheng wants and what price he will offer?"
"My grocery store is not big, but it is not small either. We sell a lot of bamboo woven items every day. Most of my family's business is in the city. I also want to send some of the waterproof items woven by Madam Jiang to the city. Madam Jiang, you don't have to worry about the quantity. As for the price, you can rest assured..."
Zheng Yuanhe told Jiang Mixia his general ideas.
When ordering various bamboo woven products from Jiang Mixia, you need to pay a 30% deposit each time you place an order, and agree on the types, quantities and weaving time. If it is something custom-made, provide the drawings and sizes.
As for the price, it will be determined based on the specific situation and will be determined by Jiang Mixia. If Zheng Yuanhe has any questions here, we will negotiate separately.
After negotiating for more than an hour and drinking the tea in the cup two or three times, Jiang Mixia and Zheng Yuanhe basically reached a cooperation.
The two sides also discussed that in a few days, Manager Sun from Zheng's would come to discuss the ordering with Jiang Mixia in detail.
"Madam Jiang, please stay."
"Goodbye." Jiang Mixia watched Zheng Yuanhe and Zheng get on the carriage, then returned to the yard and discussed with Jiang Youcheng and the others in detail about supplying goods to Zheng's.
There is a tea garden in the west and Zhengji in the county town in the east. With these two, we can say that we don’t have to worry about business in the future! The whole family is happy about this business. Jiang Youcheng is even planning whether to recruit two more apprentices to work at home as soon as possible.
"We need to hire a few more." Jiang Mixia said, "I asked the two Zheng shopkeepers. The elder Zheng shopkeeper said that the grocery store here is a small part of the business, and the main part is from the city. He wanted to get more waterproof items, bags, and bamboo baskets. If we start placing orders, I'm afraid our family will be too exhausted now."
"What's more, it takes a while for an apprentice to learn how to do a job. It's better to prepare for everything early, so as not to be too late."
"Besides, I was thinking that our yard is not very big, but it can still accommodate so many people to work, and the vacant house can also accommodate the things we weave. But after this business is established, the land is not big enough. When winter comes, we can't work in the yard, and this house is not enough."
"Why don't we enclose another area, build a wall, and build a house to make it a workshop. This way it will be spacious enough and look formal. When someone comes to discuss business in the future, it will also appear that we are a formal workshop."
With the experience from last time, Jiang Youcheng did not hesitate this time and nodded directly, "Yes, that's the case, but the location of this workshop cannot be far away from home, otherwise it will be inconvenient, and it seems that there is no ready-made place nearby..."
"I think we should fill the hole in front of us." Liu suggested.
In front of Jiang Mixia is a pit.
In the earliest times, Jiangjia Village was small, with only a small area in the center of the village and a dozen or so households. When people built houses, they would dig up soil from here. Over time, it became a big pit.
Later, Jiangjia Village developed slowly, and the scope of the village became larger and larger, gradually developing to the edge of the big pit, and even now completely surrounds the pit.
Originally, the location of the pit was good and it was a great place to build a house. However, because a lot of soil had to be filled in to build a house, no one wanted to spend the effort, so the pit has been preserved.
