"With our sincere cooperation with Manager Zhou, I naturally don't dare to ask for more at this price, especially this bamboo basket. The quantity used in the tea garden is also large, much more than the bamboo basket. I also quoted based on the large quantity. If it is sold in bulk, naturally Not at this price.”
Zhou Xing has also seen these things everywhere in the past few days, and some people have come to recommend their own products, and the prices are almost the same.
It's just that the quality of this thing is still a little different from what the Jiang family and his daughter did.
Most of the farmers are honest and honest, but it is precisely because of this that they often feel frightened, lack courage, or seem a little stupid because they are too honest. Many times, even after talking to them for a long time, they cannot figure out the key.
This Jiang Michia is not only down-to-earth but also smart. Dealing with her makes her worry-free and reassuring.
"Okay." Zhou Xing agreed to the matter and found an experienced man to determine the number of bamboo hats and bamboo baskets needed.
There are more bamboo hats than baskets, sixty of them, while the bamboo baskets vary in size, so a total of one hundred is required.
In the end, the total was eight taels of silver.
Delivery is still half a month.
Moreover, the two families agreed that in the future, the bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo hats, bamboo baskets, etc. that Shaoji Tea Garden needs occasionally will be ordered from Jiang Mixia's family.
The two parties negotiated and Zhou Xing paid the money and paid another two taels of silver as a deposit for the business.
Even after staying home for a long time, Jiang Youchengdu still felt that the money in his hand was not real enough.
"Madam, slap me."
"Why are we beating you?" Ms. Liu felt confused.
"Why do I always feel like I'm dreaming?" Jiang Youcheng sniffed, "So much money..."
It's not like our family didn't have so much money before.
Before Song Jingyun came in, Jiang Youcheng and Mrs. Liu had saved more than ten taels of silver and sent ten taels to Song Jingyun's uncle's family, which was regarded as a betrothal gift for Song Jingyun to come to the house.
But that money was saved by Jiang Youcheng and Liu for many years, penny by penny, for more than ten years.
But now, these two transactions together only take more than a month, and you can get ten taels of silver!
Jiang Youcheng sniffed again.
Because of the excitement, the corners of his eyes were sore and his nose could not stop flowing.
"Look at how you have never seen the world." Ms. Liu looked at her man with disdain, "If you make more money in the future, wouldn't you be unable to stand still?"
"How can that be possible?" Jiang Youcheng wiped his nose, "From now on, we will have a long-term business with the tea garden. According to Manager Zhou, we will need more things in the future. We can see each other every month." Money.”
"After I finish handing over this batch of goods, I'll go take a look at the wood and other materials to renovate our house to make it more comfortable."
"Moreover, I'm thinking that now that we have some money in our hands, we can make some money in the future. Don't be so picky about the white flour and rice at home. Eat some when you need to. If it's not enough, we can buy more."
Making money is just to make life easier.
It’s okay for the old couple to have a hard time, but the two children can’t always suffer along with them.
What's more, now I have to do the work of making baskets. If I don't eat well, I won't have the energy to do it.
"I know, don't worry." Ms. Liu nodded.
When making dinner that day, Ms. Liu stewed potato cubes with minced meat. The original black flour pancakes were replaced with stick noodles and white flour Erhe noodles. The porridge became stick noodles and was changed into fine stick batter. There was also Got rice grains.
Although the stick noodles are also whole grains, they have a sweet texture and are mixed with white noodles. Although they are called steamed buns, they are also soft and taste good.
Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun both ate very deliciously.
Jiang Youcheng didn't eat dinner at home. Instead, he took four small strings of money and went to Dafang's house.
After settling the wages of Jiang Chunshi and Fang who helped make bamboo baskets for picking tea last time, they also went to the big room to sit for a while.
When Jiang Youcheng came back, he was slightly tipsy.
The next day, the whole family started a new busy schedule.
Cut bamboo, saw bamboo, split bamboo into pieces, slice bamboo into strips...
Jiang Michia, Jiang Chunshi and Liu were responsible for doing this, while Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun were responsible for editing.
Both Weng and son-in-law are now experienced, and can make up more than ten in a day.
If we keep going like this, we will probably be able to deliver the goods in advance.
There was plenty of time, so we didn't work too early or late, and just kept moving forward as usual.
Seeing that Jiang Youcheng's family was also very busy, Jiang Chunshi helped cut enough bamboo, and in the past two days he began to pack saws, planes, chisels and other tools, and tried to make chairs, benches and other small things.
First of all, practice your skills and maintain the feel to avoid getting sloppy.
Secondly, practice makes perfect. After you have made these small items for a long time, you will have the confidence to make larger items and estimate the accurate materials and labor hours.
However, despite being busy, he did not forget Jiang Michia's request for a puppet a few days ago. He took the time to carve out a puppy and showed it to her.
The palm-sized puppet looks like an ordinary farm dog, with its tongue sticking out and its tail wagging.
It can't be said to be vivid, but it looks very beautiful.
"Brother's craftsmanship is so good." Jiang Michia praised repeatedly.
To be honest, this craftsmanship was at least beyond her expectations.
Being praised by his youngest cousin, Jiang Chunshi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "My master didn't let me learn carving from him before, so I learned it secretly. Don't make me happy, I still know that I A few kilograms or a few taels.”
"I'm not fooling big brother, I'm just complimenting you sincerely." Jiang Michia pursed her lips and smiled, "But this puppy is good-looking, but it's just not fresh enough. Most of the puppets outside look like this."
"I can help my eldest brother draw some pictures. Can he make some puppets according to the drawings while doing carpentry work? Then we can see if we can make more money."
"Okay." Jiang Chunshi nodded and agreed without hesitation.
His skills are average, and he has just started doing carpentry work on his own. He has to build things like tables, chairs, and benches himself to see if they can be sold. The business will definitely not be good.
Carving some puppets in your spare time would be the best thing if you can exchange it for money.
Try more and find more ways.
"I'll get you a pen and paper."
Jiang Chunhe occasionally wants to draw pictures of furniture at home. There is paper and pen at home. Although it is a bit rough, it can barely be used.
"Brother, just take the paper. I have a pen here." Jiang Michia shook the charcoal bar in his hand.
Although she could barely write two words with a brush, she was still not used to drawing, so it was much easier to use charcoal sticks as pencils.
When Jiang Chunshi saw this, he just went home and took a few pieces of paper and asked Jiang Michia to draw.
Jiang Michia held a piece of charcoal wrapped in a strip of cloth and made a few "swish" strokes on the paper, and several cartoon images suddenly appeared on the paper.
