Chapter 30: If you don’t gain an advantage, you will suffer a loss?
After Shen Qing polished less than twenty pen holders in the past two days, she immediately realized that she was not cut out for manual work!
Professionals do professional things, so they found the two siblings from the Guan family.
But she was not idle either. Although she was not good at manual work, she had a lot of other things to do at home.
Jiang Xiangnan and Xiangbei still catch eels every day, so she has to go to the city to "sell" eels every morning, and when she comes back, she also brings back some things needed for the family.
Sometimes it's a sanding cloth.
The linen was directly used from the clothes of her family that were patched up with patches - linen was rough and prickly. She had already planned to replace all these torn linen clothes with cotton ones when she earned money in the future, so she just used them directly to avoid waste.
Cotton cloth is not cheap, so I tried to save as much as possible and bought some scraps of cloth.
Sometimes the replenished brushes need to be soaked for five to seven days, so they have to be bought in advance and soaked. Now my family can produce thirty or forty brushes a day, so how can the raw materials be out of stock?
You know, what's sold is the goods, right? What's sold is pure silver!
Next is the most important thing, rice and flour. A whole family has three meals a day, but there is no meat. The only oil and water to supplement it are egg soup and rapeseed oil. The less oil and water in the stomach, the more hungry you get and the more you eat. There is no money to buy other things, but staple foods are available in the mall. It would be really stupid if you don’t eat enough.
Shen Qing was very cautious. Every time, no matter whether he bought something in the city or in the mall, he would put it at the bottom of the bucket and cover it with wild vegetables.
Or you can occasionally put some daily necessities or worthless things on it, so that you won’t find it unusual when you see it when you pass by the village entrance.
That day, Shen Qing thought about going to the city to sell brushes tomorrow, so he didn't buy anything and came back carrying an empty bucket.
Yes, after five or six days of processing and working extra, deducting the small amount of products produced due to lack of skill and the damaged ones in the first two days, she counted a total of 120 brushes yesterday!
Including today's brushes, it will be no problem to bring 150 brushes into the city to sell to bookstores tomorrow.
If she sells it, she will have enough money to go on a shopping spree; if she can't sell it, she won't have lived in China for decades in vain, as she has seen so many sales techniques and it's just right for her to put them to use!
I spent two taels of the silver I had saved on various purchases, and now I have only a little over three taels left. I'm going to sell my brush tomorrow, and I still have a lot of things to buy.
First, the family's clothes and fabrics. They used their old clothes to polish the pen holders. If they didn't buy more cloth to make new clothes, they would soon run out of clothes to change.
Secondly, I need to buy seasonings, oil, salt, sugar, soy sauce and vinegar, especially soy sauce and vinegar. She misses them so much because she eats bland and tasteless food every day.
There is also pork, this time pork belly, spare ribs, big trotters, pig's trotters...
"Jiang Gua, Shen Qingqing, what kind of business have you found to make money? Please bring our fellow villagers along too!"
Shen Qing was thinking about braising the pork belly, making it into large chunks, so that it would have a rich meaty aroma.
The ribs should be sweet and sour, the pig's trotters should be stewed until they are soft and boneless, and the pig's trotters should be made into a dipping sauce with white jade trotter flower.
When my saliva was so abundant that I could hardly swallow, I heard Liangliang's words.
She looked up and saw a dozen women standing under the eaves of adobe houses beside the dirt road in the village. One of them was looking at her with a half-smile on her lips.
"Chuncao, what a joke! People thought of you when they were borrowing food and money. How could they think of you when they were earning money to eat meat?"
This voice is quite familiar.
Shen Qing suddenly realized, "Oh, isn't this the original owner's good friend Sun Xiaomai? What's going on? He's everywhere."
The first voice belonged to the one called Chuncao.
Seeing that Shen Qing didn't respond, Zhou Chuncao smiled coldly: "Xiaomi, I now completely believe what you said. Some people just think about you when things are bad, and stay away from you when things are good!"
Shen Qing: ...Everyone can sneer.
"Heh~ We live in the same village, so who doesn't know how we get along? Don't act like someone's taking advantage of you!"
Although the original owner was noisy and unreasonable at home, she was a real bully at home. When she went out, she was like a quail and was fleeced a lot.
Just because she was easy to take advantage of, all those difficult people in the village became her "friends". Over the years, they took countless benefits from the original owner, but now, they are the first to suffer.
What? If you don’t get any advantage, you’ll suffer a loss?
Zhou Chuncao really didn't expect that Shen Qing would dare to refute and even talk about the past.
She immediately became unhappy, her brows raised, and she asked with narrowed eyes, "Say it again! Who took advantage of whom? Who took advantage of you?"
"Who is taking advantage of whom? Who doesn't know it?" Shen Qing looked directly at the other party and asked back.
The women around Zhou Chuncao opened their eyes wide in surprise and whispered to each other, "How dare this Jiang family member talk back?"
"Yes, in the past, in order to get along with Sun Xiaomai and Zhou Chuncao, she would not only spread rumors, but even send them delicious food at home, fearing that they would not accept it."
"It's really strange!"
"Do you think she's really strong now that she's made a lot of money, so she doesn't care about Zhou Chuncao and Sun Xiaomai anymore? I heard she's been carrying eels to the city to sell every day these days."
"There are quite a few people in our village who can trap eels. How much can they sell for?"
"You've been selling eels all the time and complained about not making enough money, but her family has never sold eels before. Now that they've finally made some money selling eels, it's obvious."
"I think it's a good thing she's not with Sun Xiaomai and Zhou Chuncao. Look at what she's done to her family since she started dating those two. Life is getting worse every year."
"I think so too."
......
Sun Xiaomai and Zhou Chuncao were angry when they heard this. They knew that Jiang Xiangnan and Jiang Xiangbei would lay eels, but most of them had ended up in their stomachs.
I didn’t expect that Shen Qingqing would sell it to make money!
Why did she let them sell it without asking any questions, and didn't even use the money she earned to buy some cakes and brown sugar to treat them!
Sun Xiaomai's eyes rolled, and she said quietly, "Eels are not a rare thing. Others have a hard time selling them, but she is the only woman who sells them well. This is unreasonable~"
Zhou Chuncao immediately became excited when he heard this and said angrily, "We are all decent people in our village. We must not let certain people ruin our reputation!"
Shen Qing laughed in anger. Was this a covert move? Spreading dirty rumors and throwing dirty water?
Fortunately, she has read a lot of novels. Although she has no practical experience in dealing with this kind of thing, she has a wealth of theoretical knowledge!
Today is a perfect day for her to combine theory with practice and become a practitioner!
