Previously, Mrs. Liu went there to make a wish when Jiang Michia was suffering from dementia. Now that Jiang Michia's dementia was cured, Mrs. Liu was thinking about going there to fulfill her wish, so she made an appointment with Mrs. Yang on the first day of August. When you burn incense in the temple, you also need to add some sesame oil money.
August is the time when autumn is crisp and clear. Farmers are about to harvest, students are about to compete, and even happy events are mostly organized after August. Therefore, from August to the beginning of winter, Deyin Temple is very lively.
Because of the bustling Deyin Temple, villages and markets gradually formed at the foot of the temple. When the big day was approaching, people came and went, and it was extremely prosperous.
It can be said that in many cases, it is more lively than the county seat.
Most of the people who can go to places like Deyin Temple to burn incense and hang out are people from well-off families and live affluent lives. If the puppets are sold there, they will definitely sell much better than in the town.
"What Xiaoxia said makes sense." Jiang Chunshi nodded, "Then I will slowly make some when I have free time, but since we are going to Deyin Temple, we might as well make puppets that look like the twelve zodiac signs? Xiaoxia, can you do it? Draw such a picture?”
Since you go to offer incense, you believe in the Bodhisattva gods and are very concerned about things like birth dates and zodiac signs. Also, you are at the foot of Deyin Temple. If you see it, you will want to buy it even more.
"I know how to draw. When I get back, I will draw it for my brother to take a look at." Jiang Michia thought Jiang Chunshi's suggestion was quite good, and she thought about the Q version of the twelve zodiac signs in her mind.
After arriving home for lunch, without taking a rest, Jiang Michia got busy.
Using the charcoal pen he made, he drew the twelve zodiac signs and showed it to Jiang Chunshi.
"Xiao Xia's paintings are really good." Jiang Chunshi looked at the piece of paper and praised, "I originally thought that the snakes and mice would look a bit fierce when they were drawn, but the more I looked at Xiao Xia's paintings, the more honest and cute they became."
"And this pig, it's chubby, good-looking but not stupid..."
Jiang Chunshi praised it, but he was also thinking about how to start if it was carved out of wood.
Jiang Michia explained to Jiang Chunshi the side profile, the pattern on the back and the key points of the carving. The two of them even dug some soil at the door, mixed some water with mud, and used the mud to make the appearance in the picture, so that Jiang Chunshi could Be aware of uncertainties.
I kept busy until the sun turned to the west.
After sending Jiang Chunshi away, Jiang Michia counted the money given to her by selling bamboo baskets in the morning and Jiang Chunshi.
Twenty-three bamboo baskets were sold, earning a total of more than 700 cash. Jiang Chunshi's puppets sold for 320 cash, and she was given a hundred cash.
Originally Jiang Chunshi wanted to share half of it, but Jiang Michia thought it was too much and only wanted two.
After all, he only provided the drawings, and Jiang Chunshi was the one who wasted a lot of work and materials, so he should get the lion's share.
But Jiang Chunshi said that if there was no such drawing, then he would not know what to make, let alone sell it for money.
The two sides gave in to each other, and finally settled on 37 points, Jiang Mi Xia 3 points, Jiang Chun Shi 7 points.
In short, today there are many things, and the income of the part she is responsible for is more than 800 yuan.
Jiang Michia gave the money to Mr. Liu.
At home, Ms. Liu is the housekeeper, and all the money is kept with her.
When other people use money, they go to her to withdraw it.
Mrs. Liu is a typical good wife and mother, and she doesn't treat her children harshly. Whenever Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun ask, she will definitely give them, without even asking why.
Jiang Michia found it quite convenient because someone was taking care of the money, so he didn't have to worry too much, and he was used to it these days.
But this time Mrs. Liu pushed the money back, "Your father and I were still discussing this matter yesterday. We said that you and Jing Yun are getting older and married. We are a small family. You two You have to have some personal money in your hand so that it can be used easily.”
Although she has always been a generous hand in giving money, it is still inconvenient to have the money in someone's hand, especially this person. There are always things that she wants to buy sometimes, but they may not necessarily be used, and she is embarrassed to ask. .
You will also feel restricted.
Jiang Youcheng and Liu didn't want their children to have such restrictions.
"Furthermore, in other people's families, how do you divide the public money and the small family's money? It's also because there are many children in other people's families, and they all have families. There are many things to do, and there are also many things to think about. Many things have to be divided clearly. , Our family is different. Your father and I only have a daughter like you, and a son-in-law like Jing Yun. We are the same money on the same string, so we don’t need to divide it between public and private."
"You came up with this needlework basket, and many of them were knitted by Jing Yun. The money is suitable for both of you." Jiang Youcheng also agreed.
Since the old couple said this, Jiang Michia thought about it and agreed, "Okay, then Jing Yun and I will be polite and put it away first."
It just so happened that she was also trying to find some other ways to make money recently, and she might need some money.
Although weaving baskets has a market as good as that of tea gardens, and you can earn a lot of money from selling goods at fairs, but such things are highly replaceable. If you meet someone who is more shrewd and thoughtful, you can also make these things in different ways. If there is competition, this business will become difficult to do.
Secondly, basket weaving is a primary processing industry after all. It is a laborious job that requires a lot of manpower and takes a long time. It makes people very tired and has no energy to do other things.
If you want to live a richer and more comfortable life, you still need to use your brain more, expand your business, and develop in multiple directions.
After dinner, it was still dark.
Jiang Michia found a hemp rope and asked Song Jingyun to string together all the more than 800 copper coins in his hand.
A small bunch of one hundred Wen, and the rest are scattered, keeping the daily pocket money.
After stringing the copper coins, Jiang Michia began to look for a place to put the money.
The eight strings of copper coins were so heavy that they took up quite a lot of space when put together. For a moment, I didn’t know where to put them.
The two of them thought about it, and finally they had to put it in the wooden box that Jiang Chunshi had given to Jiang Michia before. They also put up two green bricks on the green brick floor at the foot of the bed, dug a hole, and wrapped it in oil paper. He picked up the wooden box and put it in.
After burying the soil and putting green bricks on it, I looked carefully and found that it was not easy to see, so I sprinkled some fine soil on it.
Song Jingyun saw that Jiang Michia's forehead was sweating while she was busy, so he helped her get a basin of water and handed over the wet wipes, "The money shouldn't be much."
"Well, but I dug this hole because I wanted to choose a place. I don't have to worry about it anymore. The money here will gradually increase." Jiang Michia took the towel and wiped his forehead and neck.
With the cool water, it suddenly became cooler.
Jiang Michia took another sip of the cold tea on the table next to her, and felt very comfortable all over.
Will the money gradually increase?
Song Jingyun's eyes lit up.
"My lady means..."
