Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 107 Talking business with the owner of Jinxiufang

Lan Qiuhua reminded them: "Your business has just started, so treat them to a good meal and drink. They might think you have made a lot of money."

"Go back and tell the villagers that this person wants to borrow money from your house. Will you lend it to him or not?"

Ji Wenhe said awkwardly: "I don't really want to lend it. I can barely support my own family, so how can I lend money to others?"

"Isn't it? Look at how skinny you three are. If you have something good to eat, just keep it to yourself."

Lan Qiuhua walked out the door with a smile.

"My aunt has gone home, and the meal is ready. She's waiting for me to come back and eat."

"Hey, Aunt Lan, take care."

Ji Wenhe divided the wild vegetables she brought with her and said, "Brother Shen, why don't we buy some meat instead of vegetables? It will cost a lot of money just to buy meat."

"Okay." Shen Rongshan turned his head and looked at the two twins who came out of the house, "Wash up and eat, then we'll go to the market."

He ate quickly and after eating went to Zhaojia Village to borrow a donkey cart.

The three of them packed up their house, locked the door, and followed.

"Are you going to town?" Zhou Xiaoyu was wandering in the fields. When she saw them coming, she asked curiously.

Ji Wenhe smiled and replied, "Yes, Aunt Zhou, we'll leave first. We'll talk again when we have time."

"Hey."

Shen Rongshan was very fast and was already waiting at the entrance of the village.

The three of them got into the car.

Shen Wenshan said: "Brother, are you bringing anyone with you on the way?"

"bring."

The money earned is still given to Zhao Sanbao.

Since they went to various villages to sell their wares, most of the people who took the bus knew them.

Ji Wenhe took a look and saw that they were all men, including a few hunters, with baskets filled with hunted game.

The three brothers were chatting with them, but she couldn't join in the conversation and just looked at the scenery along the way by herself.

The first two times I went to the market I walked there and didn’t have time to appreciate the scenery. Now I sit on a donkey cart, squinting my eyes and enjoying the unpolluted air and scenery.

Glancing sideways, she saw Shen Rongshan sitting next to her, looking straight ahead, driving the donkey cart steadily.

When our family buys a donkey cart in the future, I will ask him to teach me how to drive it.

When they arrived in town, Ji Wenhe said, "Brother Shen, take me to Jinxiufang and you go to buy the goods. Yuanshan and Wenshan, one will go buy the scales and meat, and the other will go around selling bracelets."

"Let's go our separate ways. After we buy everything, you can pick me up at Jinxiufang and then we can go home."

"Okay, it will take a while to weigh the goods, just wait there, don't be anxious."

"I'm not in a hurry, take your time."

If she goes to Jinxiufang, she will probably have to wait for a long time, as there should be a lot of people going there to deliver their goods at the end of the month.

Shen Rongshan sent her to the gate of Jinxiufang and drove the donkey cart to Zhoujia Rice Shop.

Ji Wenhe was carrying a basket filled with woven silk threads. Just as she had expected, the shop was doing very busy.

The boss saw her come in and greeted her with a smile: "Wait a moment, girl. I will be done soon."

She was checking out someone else's bill.

"No rush, boss, take your time."

After waiting for a long time, there were fewer and fewer people in the shop.

"Come here, girl. Are the ties ready?"

Ji Wenhe put the basket on the table: "Okay, check the goods."

The boss took out all the nets, looked at them one by one, made sure there was nothing wrong, and put them away with satisfaction.

"Girl, the total is fifty-four coins. You are fast. Add the ten coins you bet last time, and the total is sixty-four coins."

She counted the money and placed it on the table.

"Count, how much do you plan to take this time?"

Ji Wenhe put the money into his pocket and said, "Boss, can I take a different style back?"

The boss nodded: "Sure, let someone from the same village teach you. Do it well, and you won't have to put money down here in the future."

She is good at sewing and can complete her work on time.

"By the way, boss, let me show you something." He took out a kitten's head from his arms, "Boss, take a look."

"This is a raccoon slave."

The eyes are heterochromatic. She heard that raccoon slaves with heterochromatic eyes are rare, extremely rare, and have never seen one in their small place.

"Yes, it's a raccoon slave, and there are several different kinds."

Ji Wenhe took out three kitten heads of different colors from his arms.

The boss took it in his hand, squeezed it, and asked curiously, "Isn't it cotton inside?"

"No, it's a ball made of bamboo leaves."

She looked up in confusion: "Girl, are you planning to sell it to me?"

"Yes and no."

"Oh?" The boss raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that the girl wants to cooperate with me?"

"Boss, you are amazing. You guessed why I came here." Ji Wenhe introduced himself, "My name is Ji Wenhe. Boss, you can just call me Wenhe. Whatever you call me, Boss."

"Yang from Poplar."

"Boss Yang, the raccoon can be made bigger and made into a pillow or a hugging pillow. Girls and children will definitely like it."

Boss Yang looked at the raccoon in his hand and said, "Girl, let me be honest. This thing can be easily copied."

"Besides, girls who can sew can make it themselves. Why bother buying it from my shop and spending the extra money?"

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Yes, it is very easy to be imitated, but even if it is imitated, we still made a lot of money."

"I can do more than just this one. Boss Yang, why don't you take out your brush and ink? I'll draw a few more styles for you to see."

"If you think this deal can be done, we can talk about it. If not, I won't force you. What do you think?"

She is confident that she can get the deal.

Boss Yang pondered for a while, nodded in agreement, and asked the shop assistant to bring pen, ink and paper.

"Hey wait."

The two turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"No need for pen and ink, just give me carbon."

She can't draw well with a brush.

The shop assistant went to the backyard and found a piece of charcoal: "Girl, here you go."

Ji Wenhe took it with a smile, not caring about getting his hands dirty, and drew five different styles on the paper.

They are penguin, long-legged rabbit, one-eyed monster, sika deer and panda.

They are all simple drawings, with each part labeled with color next to it.

Boss Yang and the shop assistant were watching from the side, with surprise flashing in their eyes.

"Boss Yang, I know a lot more. I used to know a little sister whose father was a traveling doctor. She can do some simple painting."

"She said someone else taught her father, and her father came back to teach her, and then she taught me."

After saying this, Ji Wenhe sighed, with sadness in his eyes: "It's a pity that they all starved to death on the road when they were fleeing famine."

Then he calmed down and said, "Boss Yang, I can guarantee that these dolls will sell well. They can be stuffed with cotton and made big or small."

"And I can guarantee that I will provide you with one pair every month."

Boss Yang held the painting in his hand, his expression expressionless, and he sounded a little nervous, not knowing whether she was willing to cooperate or not.

"Girl, since you said someone taught you, then these must have been available elsewhere. If we make them again, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell many."
