Li Yan then picked up a piece of rabbit skin that her uncle had placed on the table. It felt furry. She wondered if this small item would sell well if she made it into a scarf or gloves.
The economic added value of this product will definitely be much higher than simply selling a piece of fur. If you add your own little design and thoughts to it, and it gets the likes of those little girls, then there will be no worries about sales!
Li Yan had an idea in her mind, so she told it to her uncle. The two grown men usually only received and sold goods, and they never thought that they could sell them in this way. They were a little confused for a moment.
"Will anyone buy this thing?" Monkey asked after swallowing the noodles with soybean paste.
Li Yan puffed out her chest proudly, "That depends on who makes it. As long as this little rabbit fur scarf is made unique, I guarantee that all the young ladies will love it!"
Seeing the girl's confident look, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Li Yan nodded in agreement immediately, and the topic turned back to whether to sell the tiger skin: "Uncle, don't rush to sell the tiger skin. If you don't have enough money..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Feng stopped him: "Uncle knows, I'll tell you when I need to!"
Lin Feng only had a few taels of silver left on him, but fortunately, he had no use for money now. As long as he sold the goods, he would have the money. In this case, he was not in a hurry to sell the tiger skin.
After the two of them finished eating and cleared away the dishes, Li Yan took a piece of rabbit skin of each color and returned to the shop.
At this time, there were only a few people sitting in the shop eating.
Xiaocao took the dirty bowl from Li Yan's hand very considerately and was about to wash it. Now there was a well in the backyard, so it was naturally much more convenient to use water for washing dishes.
"How's it going? You're busy today. Do you want me to bring in some more people?"
"That's not necessary. I can still handle it if Daya comes to help out at mealtime!" Li Jianmin said.
It's just two more dishes. When he was working at Piaoxianglou, he had much more food than this. Now the market has just opened, and he is only busy for a short while at noon. Why waste the money to hire someone?
Li Yan nodded. Seeing that there were not many people around, she said to Li Jianmin, "It's a good opportunity to come today. Big brother, come with me to the city market to buy some more furniture and other things."
The house in the backyard was built, but there was no furniture in the bedroom.
"Sisters, you guys take care of the shop first. I'll take you back after I buy the things!" After saying that, the brother and sister went to the inner city.
The two first went to the blacksmith shop to buy an iron pot, and then went to the grocery store to buy two sets of tables, chairs and benches, and a small bed.
The owner of the shop was also a good businessman. When Li Yan asked if he could help send it back, he immediately agreed.
After paying the deposit, the two returned with only the iron pot. When passing by a wine shop, Li Yan also bought two small jars of wine to take with her.
It only took half an hour for the two of them to return to the shop.
"Then big brother, I will take Daya and Xiaocao back first!"
"Be careful when driving, don't be too hasty!" Li Jianmin reminded his sister from behind.
While driving the mule cart, Li Yan waved her hand without looking back, as if responding to her cousin.
"This girl." Li Jianmin said with a smile, then entered the shop.
At this time, standing in his own inn, Qin Yue's eyes followed the slender figure floating away.
The more he interacted with Li Yan, the more he felt that this girl had a fatal attraction. The more he understood her, the more he couldn't see through her. His reason told him that it would be better to maintain this cooperative relationship.
But his heart told him that he wanted to get close to her and understand her.
It was already 3 p.m. when Li Yan returned home.
When Mr. Li saw his granddaughter coming back, he said excitedly, "Girl, girl, do you know how many jars of soy sauce you sold today?"
Seeing her grandfather grinning from ear to ear, Li Yan didn't rush to put the animals away. She thought for a moment and said, "Eighty jars?"
Mr. Li shook his head: "Not enough."
"One hundred jars?"
Old Master Li shook his head again: "One hundred and twenty jars! At noon, three people drove a donkey cart and asked for twenty jars at once!"
The purchases made by these merchants were naturally much more than those made by the nearby villagers who bought a jar or two at a time. This was also something Li Yan could have expected, and she felt very calm.
"Thank you for your hard work today. I brought you two jars of wine. You can have a couple of drinks when you have nothing to do!" After saying that, he handed the wine to his grandfather from the mule cart.
Grandpa Li complained to his granddaughter about wasting such money, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He happily took the wine handed to him by his granddaughter, and his heart was filled with joy!
"Then I'll go back first. If you need anything, just let me know." After saying that, he went home briskly with the wine in his hand.
After Li Yan saw her grandfather off, she finally had time to lead the animals to the backyard and feed the horses and mules some fodder before calling it a day.
After returning to the front yard, Li Yan went to her mother's room.
When she walked into the room, her mother was sitting at the head of the bed doing needlework. Li Yan went to the small bed at the head of the bed to look at the two children who were sleeping soundly.
The soft and sticky little ball, with a small mouth and a small nose, is sleeping on the bed with a well-behaved look on his face.
Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter, touching the child's face and pinching the child's hand, but she did not stop her. Li Yan finally got her fill of pleasure.
After a long while, Li Yan finally stood up and went to her mother's side. "Is this the clothes that mother made for my cousins?"
Lin finished the last stitch and handed the clothes over: "It's just a few days late, do you think it's okay?"
Li Yan had planned these work clothes from the beginning. She originally intended to buy ready-made clothes directly from the city, but Lin felt that there was a lot of fabric at home and she was idle anyway, so she decided to make them herself.
The outer coats have just been made. The women's coat is grass green, and the men's coat is navy blue. The texture looks better than what I saw in the clothing store.
Li Yan hugged Lin's arm affectionately: "Thank you for your hard work, mother. My cousins will definitely like it!"
Lin was in a good mood as her eldest daughter held her in her arms and acted like a spoiled child. "Your brother and sister are asleep, and I have nothing to do. Doing some needlework would be best!"
Children at this age sleep a lot and go to sleep after eating. Lin wanted to do some work, but she didn't dare let the two children out of her sight for too long. It was most appropriate for her to do needlework when she had some free time.
I can find something to do and also watch the kids.
Hearing her mother say this, Li Yan suddenly remembered the rabbit skins she brought back from her uncle today.
"Mom, I'll draw two pictures for you. Can you make me some rabbit fur scarves?"
