Jiang Michia and Zheng were beside them, talking in detail for a long time, and reached a preliminary intention of cooperation.
Jiang Michia came to draw the puppet pattern, and Zheng paid for it.
The drawing of the puppet costs 2 taels of silver per set, including front, side, back and some necessary details. If it needs to be painted, the color must be indicated.
The drawings are delivered on a monthly basis. After Zheng took a look at it, there was no problem in settling the bill on the spot and there was no default.
The monthly delivery volume should not be less than five pieces, but it should not be more than twenty pieces.
If it is a complete set of puppets, you can look at the quantity and quality of the set based on two taels of silver per piece, and then actually negotiate the price.
In addition to these, Jiang Michia put forward a prerequisite for achieving these terms-Jiang Chunshi went to Qiuji to do carpentry work and learned the craft from the master.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and replied, "No problem. Qiu Ji is also short of manpower here. I think your eldest brother is an honest man and is suitable for working in Qiu Ji. I will choose an experienced master to lead the team."
"The guys in the shop who don't have families all live in the backyard of the shop. Those who have families mostly rent a yard together in the county. I'll ask someone when I go back and see if there's no one who needs to cooperate. I'll take care of you later." Okay, you can also bring your wife and children over."
Most of the young couples who came to the temple to offer incense came looking for children, especially since Jiang Chunshi only had one daughter.
Although going to Qiuji to work as a carpenter and learn carpentry skills was helpful to Jiang Chunshi's future, it was not suitable for his wife and children to be separated all the time. It would be best to live together.
"Thank you, madam." Jiang Michia saw that Zheng had considered even the smallest details, and felt that this business partner was quite good, so she became generous.
"If you follow the drawings to make puppets for the first time, I'm afraid you won't know where to start. When the first batch of drawings are sent, I will follow the drawings and use clay to make them look like it, so that the masters can start easily."
"Then there's Lady Lao Jiang."
Jiang Michia is smart and can draw such novel puppet patterns. When discussing business just now, she also explained many details thoroughly, which is no worse than her who has been in business for many years.
Zheng also had a good impression of Jiang Michia.
The two parties reached a consensus that Zheng did not stay long, but took the puppets she bought and left first.
Jiang Michia and his party were looking for a place to eat.
When we went down the mountain, the sun was already high in the sky. Now that we had been delayed for so long, the sun had already turned to the west, and everyone was already so hungry that their chests were touching their backs.
Jiang Maihua, who had eaten the fruit to fill her stomach, was now complaining that she was hungry.
All the goods I brought have been sold, and now I plan to go back directly after the meal and buy something I want to eat when I see it.
The business has been negotiated today. If Jiang Michia does well here, he will get hundreds of taels of silver a year. From now on, Jiang Chunshi will also have a way out and a place to work. Both families are very happy. They can afford to buy things. Come, they are all quite generous.
What about crispy twists, lotus cakes, minced meat pancakes, spring rolls with three shreds, wontons with large fillings, rice noodles with three kinds of fresh food...
When they were riding back in the bullock cart, Jiang Michia and his party were all smelling of the strong aroma of rice and the sweet aroma of various snacks.
Song Jingyun was popping fish-skin peanuts on the road and smiling broadly.
Because Jiang Maihua fell asleep, Jiang Chunshi was afraid that Fang would be tired from holding her all the way, so he hugged her. And because Fang was afraid that Jiang Chunshi, an old man, could not hold his daughter, she sat with him so that he could take turns holding her daughter.
In this way, Fang, Jiang Chunshi and Liu were on an ox cart, and he, Jiang Michia and Jiang Youcheng were on an ox cart.
Sitting with my wife, I feel so happy!
Moreover, the lady can earn two taels of silver by painting a picture...
The lady is really capable!
We wandered all the way, and when we got home, it was completely dark.
We had a late lunch, and we were not hungry at night. We bought a lot of food at the market, ate some of it, and each of us poured some egg water on it. After finishing the meal, we tidied up a bit before going back to the house to sleep. .
The next day, Jiang Chunshi came to invite Jiang Michia's family, saying that they had slaughtered two chickens at home and were making stir-fried chicken at noon, so they could eat at home.
He also said that Jiang Youfu felt that it had been a long time since he and the Jiang Youcheng brothers had sat together to have a good meal and talk, so he went to buy two kilograms of wine and wanted to have a drink with Jiang Youcheng at noon.
That's what it said on the surface, but Jiang Youcheng and Mrs. Liu also understood that it was Dafang's gratitude to Jiang Michia for thinking about Jiang Chunshi when she was doing business and helping Jiang Chunshi find a good way out, so they specially invited their family there. Have a meal.
You couldn't refuse this kind of meal, so Jiang Youcheng led the family to the main room. On the way there, he brought some eggs from home.
The two domestically raised young roosters are of young age and have tender meat. Yang's cooking skills are good, and with Liu's help, the stir-fried chicken is extremely delicious and fragrant.
I also made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cucumber salad with peanuts, minced meat and beans, and cooked a pot of vegetable and tofu soup. The staple food was white rice.
Pure, not adulterated with sorghum or millet.
The two families gathered together and had a lively meal.
After dinner, the four men, Jiang Youcheng, Jiang Youfu, Jiang Chunshi and Song Jingyun, were drinking. Yang and Liu helped buy two more cold dishes to go with the wine, and then went to the side to chat.
Fang, Jiang Michia and Jiang Xiaoxing led Jiang Maihua to play nearby.
Jiang Xiaoxing is the third daughter of the Dafang family. She is the same age as Jiang Mixia, but her birth month is older than Jiang Mixia. She is Jiang Mixia's fifth cousin. She has a round face, almond-shaped eyes, and is cute and cute.
Because he and Jiang Mixia have been playing together since they were young, and they also protect Jiang Mixia on weekdays, so now the two of them can play together.
"Xiao Xing, please set a date for this." Ms. Liu asked.
"It's decided." Yang replied with a smile, "It's fixed on the sixteenth day of the winter lunar month."
"This is a good day. I heard that the Hong family is living a prosperous life. Hong Sanbao has two older brothers who can help him. You can rest assured that Xiaoxing will marry you." Ms. Liu said with a smile.
"They're not bad, but they're a little far away..."
Mentioning this matter, Yang's smile faded a little.
It's about the same distance as going to the county seat. If I go to my parents' house from now on, I'm afraid it won't be very convenient. If something happens, it won't be very convenient to send letters back and forth.
"You can't say that. It's not that far from the county seat. If Chun Shi and his wife can settle down in the county seat in the future, they will be close to Xiao Xing and have their brother and sister-in-law next to them, so they won't have anything to worry about."
Ms. Liu consoled her, "As long as the person is nice, that's the best."
If the family is not good and the couple cannot live together, or the parents-in-law are not good and only know how to tease the daughter-in-law, even if they are close, the mother's family is just the mother's family, and they cannot support each other every time, which will be even more frustrating.
Yang knew this and just nodded, "That's what happened..."
While they were talking here, there was a sudden "bang" sound from the other side of the wine table.
