Chapter 212 Delivery
But she wants to eat vegetables now, so she might as well plant some next year. She’s a bit tired of eating beans every day.
There should be more varieties of other dishes.
After bringing the winter melon home, I peeled it, turned it in circles, and cut it into long thin slices with a knife so that I could hang them up to dry in the sun.
"Sister-in-law, the fence won't hold much."
Looking up, I saw that the fences on both sides of the door were hung with them.
Ji Wenhe thought about it, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Wenshan, do you know where your elder brother found the cane?"
He nodded: "I know."
"Go cut some rattan, cut some, and tie them to the pillars of the shed at the foot of the mountain. That way you'll have a place to dry them."
And the sunshine at the foot of the mountain is better than that on the mountain.
"I'll go right away."
Shen Wenshan went up the mountain excitedly with a machete in his hand. Not long after, he came down holding a vine and went straight down the mountain.
Tie the rattan sticks and hang the cut winter melon strips on them.
Ji Wenhe felt that it was too troublesome to run back and forth, so he simply took a knife and a basin to the shed to cut, which saved a lot of trouble.
The two of them worked for most of the day and finally finished cutting the winter melon.
Holding his hands that were sore from peeling the winter melon, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally it's done."
Shen Wenshan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "Sister-in-law, go back and rest."
"I don't want to run up the mountain anymore. I'm going to the river to wash my hands." I'll come back and make silk nets after a while.
I've been bending over all the time and my butt and waist hurt.
When I reached the foot of the mountain on the east side, I saw Shen Huairen playing in the river.
"Your mother will beat you if she sees you later. How can water be so fun?"
He turned around and smiled: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"
"I'll drink up the water."
"Hahaha, sister-in-law, you are just bragging. You can drink for decades and still not finish all the water in the river."
Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "I have plenty of ways to make sure there is not even a drop of water in this river."
Shen Huairen looked at her curiously: "I don't believe it."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. How dare you come here alone? Haven't you learned your lesson from last time?"
"I haven't reached the village entrance yet. There are still people in the fields. Don't be afraid."
"In the future, if you see a stranger, don't approach him. Turn around and run away. Don't leave the village alone."
"I understand, sister-in-law." Shen Huairen came ashore from the river and put on his hemp shoes. "Sister-in-law, have you finished reading the book you borrowed?"
Ji Wenhe squatted by the river and washed his hands: "No, you want it."
She was teaching them how to read and write according to the book.
"No, I'm just asking. I'll get you another one after you finish reading it."
"No need to change it for now. There are still many words I don't know. I'll come back to you when I have learned them all."
"Sister-in-law, if you don't know anything, you can ask me. I know all the words in that book."
Shen Huairen had big bright eyes and an innocent look on his face.
Ji Wenhe shook the water off his hands and responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go find you if I have someone I don't know."
"Go home quickly, or your mother will come over and see you playing in the water and will definitely beat you up."
"Sister-in-law, don't tell my mother. I'm leaving."
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret."
There are so many people around, so we have to ask them to keep it secret.
Today is the delivery day.
Shen Rongshan pulled the donkey cart to Li Chunhong's house and moved the goods onto the cart.
"Aunt Lan, are you okay?" Ji Wenhe shouted at the door, holding a basket.
"Okay, okay, here I come."
Lan Qiuhua was carrying a basket filled with vegetables grown at home, and she was going to the town to sell them.
"Let's go, pack up."
"Aunt Lan, I can't accompany you to sell vegetables. After delivering the goods to Jinxiufang, I have to go buy cotton."
"You don't need to accompany me. I can go there by myself. There are good places there that I am familiar with."
There are only two people in the family. They can't eat all the beans they grow, and they can't pickle them all, so they have to take them to the town to sell.
Sitting on the ox cart, Shen Rongshan said, "Aunt Lan, we will buy the things and wait outside the town. There is no rush."
"Okay, if it's not selling well, I'll go there earlier and won't keep you waiting too long."
She brought two winter melons, beans, eggplants and tomatoes, and she was able to sell almost all of them in half an hour.
If I can’t sell it, I won’t wait there.
"Wen He, what else do you want to buy after buying cotton?"
"Soapberry, fabric must be purchased, and there is nothing else."
Lan Qiuhua reminded: "You don't need to buy needles and thread. I have them at home."
Quilting needles are thicker than embroidery needles, and so is the thread.
Ji Wenhe nodded: "Okay."
Once the quilt and cotton-padded jacket are made, there is nothing else that requires spending a lot of money except buying the land.
Save money to buy a donkey cart, and then buy a residential plot and build a house.
When they arrived in the town, Lan Qiuhua got off the car and went to the vegetable market, and the two of them drove to Jinxiufang.
Yang Yun had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw them coming from afar, she hurried over to greet them: "Follow me, this way."
Ji Wenhe got out of the car and followed her: "Boss Yang, where are you going?"
"Go to the back alley. Next time you come to deliver goods, go through the back alley."
"Several people were guarding the door of my shop a few days ago."
No need to guess what they are planning.
"Okay, we'll all walk through the alley from now on."
When she reached the back alley, she opened the back door.
"Boss Yang, don't pull the donkey cart in. Move the goods in. We are going to buy cotton."
Shen Rongshan carried the basket into the yard and placed it under the eaves as Yang Yun instructed.
"I know a cotton seller. If you tell him about me, I can give you a much lower price."
The cotton for the doll was bought from them.
Ji Wenhe was just about to ask her: "What is the name of their shop?"
"Cotton Mill, Boss Ning Fengning, go left to the front street, turn right after an alley, then go left again, and it's right after two shops."
"Okay, thank you, Boss Yang. Is the fabric for this month ready?"
"Okay." Yang Yun walked into the house and carried out two large bundles. "Make it according to the fabric I gave you and send it over at the end of the month."
Shen Rongshan stepped forward and took it.
"Hey wait." She took the doll out of the basket and said, "Put it in the basket and take it away."
"By the way, Wen He, we have a lot of fabric. It's okay if we can't finish it. No matter how much, we will send it over as usual at the end of the month."
"Okay, I'll watch them do it. Boss Yang, we're leaving."
"Oh." She had to quickly find someone to help stuff the cotton.
I went there for eight days this month to see how much they could do.
"Brother Shen, let's go buy cotton first, and then go to Qingyu Cloth Shop to buy fabric."
"I'll listen to you and get in the car and sit down." Shen Rongshan pulled the rope and walked in front.
When they arrived at the cotton mill, he watched the car outside.
Ji Wenhe walked into the shop and a man in his thirties came up to him with a smile.
"Sir, the cotton in our shop is the best in town. Take a look here."
Following him, I saw several sacks filled with cotton, some of which was very white, some slightly yellow, and some very yellow.
"Boss Ning, I was introduced by Boss Yang Yunyang from Jinxiufang. She said your cotton is very cheap."
Ning Feng smiled and said, "No problem. Boss Yang is a regular customer of my shop and buys a lot, so I will give you a discount."
