Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 221 Going to Jinxiufang

She was eight or nine months pregnant at that time, so how could she bend over and go to the river to wash clothes?

Her mother-in-law refused to wash her, and her son was too young to do it, so she had no choice but to ask her husband to do it.

"Alas." Zhou Xiaoyu sighed, "I'm better than you. My mother-in-law is on my side, and the elders don't dare to let Shen Zhanguo divorce me."

"Every family has its own problems, but after those old guys are gone, our lives have indeed become much easier."

No one comes to them every now and then to tell them not to control their men, etc.

Ji Wenhe was listening while knitting, thinking that it was a good thing they died, otherwise she and Shen Rongshan would have been annoyed by them.

The days passed in a flash and it was already the end of the month.

After the donkey cart left the village, Lan Qiuhua looked at the basket in her arms and asked, "How many eggs were laid?"

"In half a month, I collected 25 chicken eggs, six duck eggs, and two goose eggs, and took them to the town to sell them."

I bought some goods and sold them once in the middle of the month. I made 15 chicken eggs and 5 duck eggs, and earned 70 cents in total.

Shen Yuanshan next to him took over the conversation: "The eggs we sell are bigger than those sold by other families. As soon as I squatted down there, someone bought them. I'm sure they will sell well this time."

We ate some of it at home, otherwise we could have sold it for more money.

"Your chickens eat well and grow big, unlike mine, which only lay an egg every two or three days."

Lan Qiuhua was also holding a basket in her arms, which contained fifteen eggs that she had collected over the past month.

"Oh, Aunt Lan." Ji Wenhe looked at her, "Uncle Shen and An Guo haven't been back for two months."

"He said he would be back at the end of last month, but he hasn't come back this month."

"I don't know. It's better not to come back. Only when there is work to do can I make money."

She patted her leg gently.

"Alas, Anguo's marriage has always been on my mind. Sometimes I can't sleep at night because I keep thinking about it."

"Aunt Lan, I don't know how to persuade you. It's useless to be anxious."

Lan Qiuhua nodded: "Yes, there is no point in being anxious. Sometimes I think about Sister Miao's family. Their Shen Liang is nineteen years old, four years older than our An Guo."

"She is more anxious than me. The man in the family has a broken leg and needs to be taken care of every day. Shen Liang is the only one who can make money."

"Comparing myself with others, I found that my family is doing OK, and it's not the time to complain."

"But you can't compare yourself with the rich people at home, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable and dissatisfied with everything at home."

Ji Wenhe consoled him, "It will be fine. Their blessings are yet to come."

"I hope so." As long as her son can find a wife, she will have nothing to worry about.

Arrived in town.

Shen Yuanshan and Lan Qiuhua went to sell eggs together, Shen Rongshan went to Zhou's Rice Shop to purchase goods, and she went to Jinxiufang.

Go around to the back alley and take the basket off the car.

"Brother Shen, you don't have to come over later. Yuanshan and I will carry you."

Shen Rongshan nodded and led the donkey: "Okay, I'll go."

Wait until he leaves the back alley before knocking on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

After knocking three times, Yang Yun's voice was heard from inside.

"Coming, coming." She opened the door with a smile.

"Boss Yang."

"I knew you were coming to make the delivery today, so I was waiting for you inside the house."

Two baskets were carried into the house, and Ji Wenhe took out the woven netting: "Boss Yang, how is business this month?"

Yang Yun asked her to sit down with a smile and poured her a cup of tea: "You don't know, there were so many people on the Qixi Festival, the shop was packed."

"I'll listen to you. The price of the limited edition model is high, thirty-five cents each. Guess what?"

She shook her head: "I don't know, Boss Yang, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."

"Because it's a limited edition, there are only 150 of them. A few girls came late, and a few people started arguing over the price, bidding higher and higher."

Ji Wenhe quickly said, "Boss Yang, you didn't promise them that you would release this style in the future, right?"

"No, I listened to you and told them that it was limited to the Qixi Festival and would never be released again. That's why they were bidding on the spot to compete for the few that were not sold."

"In the end, I had no choice. I was afraid they would quarrel, so I said I would not sell the remaining ones. I didn't expect them to say that the highest bidder would win."

Yang Yun took out a cloth bag from a box, smiling broadly: "Here, this month's dividends, count them yourself, I guarantee you'll be delighted."

Ji Wenhe took the cloth bag, which was heavy. He opened the bag and saw some silver coins inside.

The man opposite put a few pieces of silver together and said, "This is one ounce, and the rest are copper coins. I thought it would be more convenient for you to use the copper coins so you don't have to change them again."

"How about I change the silver into copper coins for you?"

"Okay, thank you, Boss Yang."

"Oh, no trouble."

She turned to the box and took out a string of copper coins and gave it to her.

A string of copper coins cost one tael, plus the ones she handed over, there were five strings of copper coins in total, and thirty-eight coins in change.

Ji Wenhe couldn't hide the joy on his face at this moment: "I really didn't expect that I would make so much money."

Yang Yun took a sip of tea and said, "Let me tell you, those girls who are bidding the price are not from wealthy families, so I guess they don't have much money either."

"Unlike the wealthy families who bid up by several taels or tens of taels, they bid up by tens of wen."

"Besides, the young ladies from the wealthy families in our town sent their maids to guard here early in the morning. As soon as I opened the door, they rushed in."

"Hey, can you make limited edition styles like this in the future, and let them bid for themselves, and the highest bidder wins."

"I see some shops have started to follow our lead and started making cardboard too. They've learned all of this."

Ji Wenhe thought for a moment and said, "We don't want the highest bidder to win. The puppet is very simple and anyone who knows how to make it can learn it after just one look."

"If it's sold for thirty-five wen, they will think it's not expensive and will be willing to spend money on it. But if the price is raised to several taels or even more than ten taels, then they will think it's not worth it."

"It's also possible that they will be pushed to other shops to buy cheaper products."

"Yes, yes, you are right. We can't do this. Let's just keep it the same as before."

She continued, "But for the few left, they can bid as they please, but Boss Yang, you can't take the initiative to say whoever bids the highest wins."

Yang Yun nodded in understanding: "I understand what you mean, I will do as you say."

"Then other shops can learn from us. Do you have any ideas? The girls who didn't buy it went to other shops to buy it."

"We can't stop them." Ji Wenhe shook his head. "This time the limited edition style is sold as soon as someone comes. Didn't you see the cardboard in their hands?"

"No, everyone rushed into the shop and scrambled to buy it, so I didn't think of looking."

She was so happy and a little surprised at the time. She didn't expect that they would be waiting outside the door.
