The scholar has been reading and writing for many years, and his body bones are not as strong as those usually doing physical work. Now, although it is not particularly strenuous to hold these things, it still uses up all his strength, and he walks a little slowly.
Moreover, the appearance of carrying a bag on his back and holding a bag in his hand aroused the people around him to be a little surprised. They couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Brother Kang, what are you doing? Why did you buy so many bags?"
"Yes, don't we have bags for daily use? Why do we have to spend money to buy them?"
"This bag is different. This bag does not leak. If you are rushing for an exam or something, you will not be afraid of your bag getting wet when it rains. I thought it was strange and practical, so I bought one," Kang Yinian replied, "It turned out that Li Brother and Brother Du also wanted it, so they took it back."
An impermeable bag?
That's really practical.
Apart from other things, I have experienced so many winds and rains along the way to take the exam. I am not afraid of being exposed to the wind and sleeping in the open air. What I am afraid of is rainy days. I am not afraid of my clothes getting wet. I am afraid that the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books I brought with me will get wet.
If this was a watertight bag, we wouldn't have to worry about it.
After listening to Kang Yinian's words, some people asked where they could buy this waterproof bag. When they heard that it was at the entrance of Wende Academy, they went to look at it in small groups.
As soon as they passed the word, in a short time, many scholars came to the door of Wende Academy, including Jiang Michia, Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun.
After carefully looking at the workmanship of the bag, testing the waterproofness of the bag, and even trying out the comfort of the bag, many people plan to buy it.
Anyway, a bag is a must-have when going out, so why not buy a waterproof one?
What's more, the price of this bag is quite reasonable.
The bags that Jiang Michia and the others brought were quickly sold.
As for those who didn't buy it but wanted to buy it, they paid a deposit with Jiang Michia and agreed to deliver it in half a month.
After staying at the gate of Wende College for an hour, Jiang Michia received twenty orders.
For those who want to order again, Jiang Michia said that it is already full this time, and they can continue to order when they come for delivery next time.
On the way back, Song Jingyun was eating black sesame cake with a smile on his face.
The lady is right, this black sesame cake is so delicious!
The chestnut cake is also delicious.
Jiang Youcheng smiled and touched the new fabric he pulled back from the cloth shop for Mr. Liu, feeling very happy in his heart.
After arriving home, I told Ms. Liu about the booming business today. Ms. Liu was also very happy and added another meat dish to dinner.
Stir-fried pork slices with green peppers, oh no, to be exact, it's pork slices fried with green peppers. Only the meat slices are visible, but the green peppers are not seen.
Jiang Youcheng asked Mr. Liu to fry an extra peanut, brought out a bottle of wine, and prepared to have a drink with Song Jingyun.
This wine is sorghum wine. It has a mellow and strong taste and a strong aftertaste. It is the same as the one I drank at Jiang Youfu's house last time.
To be honest, Song Jingyun thought the sorghum wine tasted good and he really wanted to drink it.
But last time I got drunk and had to take off my clothes...
So shameful!
So hold back!
Song Jingyun just shook his head desperately, "I'm not a good drinker, so I'd better stop drinking."
Thinking of the last time Song Jingyun got drunk at Dafang's house, Jiang Youcheng didn't force it. He poured a bowl himself and sipped it in small sips.
The whole family was very happy to receive so many bags-making business. While eating, they discussed buying winter clothes and charcoal to keep warm in the winter.
The price of charcoal is not cheap, and it costs a lot in one winter. However, since the family is now making money, Jiang Youcheng and Mr. Liu also feel that they should not be so picky, and living comfortably is the most important thing. In this matter There is no ambiguity.
But when we talk about spending money, we start talking about making money.
Jiang Youcheng took a sip of wine and sighed, "Speaking of which, there are quite a few people in the county town who want to make plans. We really can't make up that many, otherwise we won't have to push them out in vain."
All the promotions are for free money. Just thinking about it makes me feel very distressed!
"After all, we have a small family and too much work to handle." Jiang Michia said, "Dad, do you think we should hire someone to do the work at home?"
"If any of the people who come to do the work are clever and handy, we can teach them the art of weaving baskets from bamboo strips and let them follow us for a long time. If they can't learn it but have the strength, we can do some cutting and splitting of bamboo. A piece of work."
"In this case, we can make more things, and we won't lose the money we can earn. And after bringing out the basket weavers, we won't have to be so tired."
"What did dad say?"
"It sounds good, but..."
Jiang Youcheng's face was filled with hesitation, "But wouldn't it be bad if you just teach people how to weave basket weaving skills? Especially the method of weaving watertight bamboo baskets and bag bags, it was Jing Yun who came up with it. What's the point? It’s a rare thing, if you just teach it to people casually, won’t it leak out?”
This kind of skill, no matter how you say it, is the capital of your livelihood, and it is an iron rice bowl that can provide you with enough food.
The fewer people who know this skill, the more stable their jobs will be.
The more people know this skill, the less likely they will be able to eat.
The words of the master who taught his disciples to starve to death were not just casual remarks. Otherwise, Jiang Chunshi and his carpenter master Niu Er wouldn't have been hiding his skills every day, wishing he could just treat his craftsmanship as a report.
Hearing this, Jiang Michia pursed her lips.
Jiang Youcheng's worry is reasonable and humane.
The inheritance of craftsmanship has always been cautious and cautious, and the person who can take over the mantle is also cautious and cautious, for fear that one more person will know.
This approach can indeed ensure that some skills are not lost to outsiders, but it also greatly limits the scale of production, which is obviously not advisable for the effect she wants to achieve now.
Jiang Michia said, "I understand dad's concern, and it is necessary. However, when we are looking for people to do the work, we can find people from our same village, sign the contract in black and white, and clearly stipulate that if we want to learn the craft at our home, it must be done at our home." You have enough years of work, and you are not allowed to do the same work elsewhere."
"Otherwise, all previous wages must be refunded and our losses must be compensated. If someone violates it, we can take this receipt to the Yamen to sue. With the Yamen and the law here, I guess others will not dare to do it intentionally. Something happened."
"I know that my father is also afraid that others will learn these skills. In the next generation, our family will no longer have a living. But we hire people to make more things and make more money. It won't take long. If you can earn back the money you spent on basket weaving in this life, you can buy enough land and property for the next generation, and the next generation can continue to carry forward the property, which is much better than just sticking to this basket weaving skill."
"Dad, why don't you do the math and see which one is more cost-effective?"
