Chapter 235 Sisters-in-law, please try it
{Chapter error, chapter 233/234 is after this chapter, please skip it manually, my dears, sorry!}
He Zhiran nodded: "Yes, a pendant is meant to be hung on clothes or backpacks, so it can't be too big."
After listening to He Zhiran's explanation, Sixth Sister-in-law picked up the drawing and looked at it carefully.
The other sisters-in-law also stretched their necks to watch.
After a few minutes, Sister-in-law Liu put down the drawing.
"Ninth sister-in-law, let me try making a finished product first."
"Okay, there are so many rabbit skins here, sisters-in-law, feel free to try them." He Zhiran generously pushed all the rabbit skins in front of the sisters-in-law.
By the evening, Sister Liu had made a rose-red long-eared rabbit pendant.
The eyes of the long-eared rabbit were purchased by He Zhiran on Taobao Mall. In addition, the tips of the four paws of the long-eared rabbit are white, which makes it look very cute.
He Zhiran took it and looked at it carefully, praising his sixth sister-in-law for her skillful hands.
"Sixth sister-in-law, this is how it looks like. You can make it according to this standard in the future."
It is so perfect, exactly the same as those sold in Taobao Mall, even better.
The only thing missing is that the long-eared rabbit pendant sold in Taobao Mall has a metal hook on it, and she needs to find a suitable item to replace it.
Just when He Zhiran was thinking about what to use to replace the hook, his sister-in-law spoke.
"Ninth sister-in-law, I see from the design on your drawing that there should be something like a rope on the pendant, right? I learned how to tie knots with my mother when I was a child, so I can give it a try."
After saying that, the sister-in-law found a bundle of red thread, separated ten strands into one strand to make the thread thicker, and then started weaving it in front of everyone.
Soon, a red diamond knot was completed.
When He Zhiran saw the red Vajra knot in his sister-in-law's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sister-in-law, this one will do. Use this diamond knot to decorate the long-eared rabbit pendant you've made."
After receiving the approval of the ninth brother's wife, the eldest sister-in-law smiled and said, "Okay, we will use this diamond knot to make the pendant."
Now, a finished pendant is completely completed, and He Zhiran doesn't have to worry about her sisters-in-law's craftsmanship, so she can let go of the pendant making work again.
Now the family can no longer provide cold-cooked rabbit, and Tang Mingrui took away a large number of dolls to sell last time, so he probably won’t come again in the short term.
However, through the efforts of the sisters-in-law, the family produced one hundred rabbit fur long-eared rabbit pendants of various colors in three days.
It is now approaching the twelfth lunar month, and there is still a month before the Chinese New Year. He Zhiran thought that the period before the Chinese New Year is when people are most willing to spend money, so he took the initiative to find Tang Mingrui.
She and Mo Jiuye went at the perfect time. Tang Mingrui had been out selling dolls these days and had just returned last night. If it weren't for the coincidence, their trip would probably have been in vain.
When Tang Mingrui saw these pendants made of real rabbit fur, even a grown man couldn't let go of them.
He couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "Sister-in-law Jiu, is this a pendant?"
"Yes, Brother Tang, do you think there is any business opportunity in this thing?" He Zhiran asked knowingly.
Not to mention that this thing fell into Tang Mingrui's hands, even she, who didn't know much about business, knew that this kind of pendant would definitely be very popular when it appeared on the market.
"That's for sure, Sister Jiu, don't worry. I will definitely sell this fine pendant for a good price."
He Zhiran didn't ask for more. Although the pendant was made of real rabbit fur, it didn't cost much for her. It had a special color and her sisters-in-law had good craftsmanship.
Moreover, the pendants are much smaller than those plush dolls, so if they can be sold for a few taels of silver each, it would be a high price.
Tang Mingrui did not estimate the price of the pendant in advance this time. He planned to try to sell it at a high price for such a delicate little thing.
When He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye came, they brought all the 100 pendants made at home and gave them to Tang Mingrui before leaving.
I thought Tang Mingrui would come after a few days, but unexpectedly, this guy came early the next morning.
He took the one hundred pendants to the state capital to sell them. Unexpectedly, the young ladies and wives from the wealthy families in the state capital were all very fond of these exquisite and small pendants.
Word spread like wildfire, and the one hundred pendants he brought were not enough to sell.
Not only that, many people wanted to make a reservation with him.
Moreover, the price Tang Mingrui sold these pendants for was a little higher than the dolls, with one being sold for twelve taels, so He Zhiran also got a higher share.
He Zhiran didn't know that the reason why Tang Mingrui was able to sell the pendant at such a high price was closely related to the long-eared rabbit's eyes that were inlaid on it like gems.
Although he couldn't tell what material the thing was made of, it was shiny and round, and definitely not an ordinary thing. Therefore, after Tang Mingrui made some remarks about the rabbit's eyes, everyone who bought it felt that it was worth the money.
The pendants were popular and they could have made a fortune, but unfortunately, the rabbit skins at home were limited. If they wanted to produce in large quantities, they had to wait until after the Chinese New Year and slaughter another batch of male rabbits.
Fortunately, Tang Mingrui did not accept those pre-orders, otherwise he would have broken his promise to the customers.
Of course, He Zhiran would not get involved in how Tang Mingrui did business. Now all the plush fabrics and rabbit furs at home were used up, and all she needed to do was prepare for her first New Year in this other world.
The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is the day when people worship the Kitchen God, and it also heralds the beginning of the entire Spring Festival.
Madam Mo attaches great importance to this solar term, and neither sweeping the house nor offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God is missed.
The family started working early in the morning. Old Madam Mo found Mo Chongyuan and asked him to try to paint a portrait of the Kitchen God.
She raised nine sons in total. Mo Chongyuan's martial arts skills were not as good as the other eight sons, but he was slightly better than his other brothers in making ink.
If he had not been born into a family of military generals, Mo Zhongyuan might have chosen to pursue a career in literature.
However, life is so cruel that not only did he suffer so much at such a young age, but he also ended up losing his memory.
In fact, Madam Mo arranged for Mo Chongyuan to paint the image of the Kitchen God in the hope that it would evoke some of his memories.
In the past, when the family worshipped the Kitchen God during the New Year's Eve, Mo Zhongyuan would paint the image of the god. He hoped that he could still paint it even though he had lost his memory.
Mo Zhongyuan was still a little confused when he was called from the rabbit shed.
"Mom, are you calling me?"
Madam Mo placed the paper and pen in front of her on the table.
"You've always painted the Kitchen God statue in our house. Mother hopes you'll do it again this time."
When Mo Zhongyuan heard his mother mention that he had helped paint a statue of the Kitchen God for the family, he habitually wanted to recall the past.
He didn't know what was wrong with him recently. No matter who mentioned the past to him, as long as he tried hard to recall it, he would feel a splitting headache.
And the harder he tried to think about it, the worse the feeling became.
When encountering such a situation, the fifth sister-in-law would run to find He Zhiran.
Now that the fifth brother is conscious, He Zhiran can only help him check his pulse.
After the examination, He Zhiran did not find anything abnormal with the fifth brother. Combined with her experience as a doctor in her previous life, she felt that the fifth brother's condition should not be a bad thing. It was probably because the blood clot in his brain was slowly being absorbed, and there were signs that his memory was being triggered.
Despite this, He Zhiran still instructed his fifth brother to take things as they come and not to force anything, as his memory would return sooner or later.
