Chapter 590: If she doesnt favor her son, who does she favor?
What was sent to Gu Qingling was just a sample. The fan was no bigger than a pencil. Many of the things were made on site. If you wanted to mass-produce them, you would have to build a special workshop or factory.
Therefore, fans will not become popular in a short period of time. Even if they become popular, there will be waiting for the selection of factory sites, construction of houses, recruitment of workers, implementation of production lines, and training of skilled workers...
It will be several months later anyway.
Therefore, only Gu Qingling has a fan.
When people from the second and third bedrooms came to make arrangements, they were extremely surprised when they saw the wooden shelves in Gu Qingling's room.
"Ouch, old lady, what is this?! It's too cool!" Mrs. Yao Er came in from outside, her body was a little hot from the sun.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered Gu Qingling's house, a cool breeze blew in, which surprised her.
Gu Qingling said: "This is a fan. The workshop just made it and sent two samples over. One is hand-cranked and the other is pedaled. They are both here."
Second Mrs. Yao stood around the two fans, marveling at them.
He also asked the maid to stand a little aside and try it out.
He is such a big person, but he is like a child who has got a toy and is having a great time playing with it.
Not only Mrs. Yao was greedy, but Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Yao were also a little moved when they saw it, and quickly asked when this thing could be made.
Gu Qingling said: "It will take a while. This thing is more troublesome than a pencil. The ink and wood for the pencil are all ready-made. We already have a furniture factory and an ink-making workshop... But this fan is more troublesome. Some of its parts involve iron.
, Tie is under the control of the imperial court, and you still have to apply, and I don’t know if I can come down.”
"Do you still need iron?" Mrs. Yao Er said, "That's troublesome. The court has strict control over this matter. Even if you make a farm tool, every household must register it. We don't make farm tools now, that's right, that's right.
Making fans is a new thing... I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle."
"So, I guess this thing can only be used internally by us first. It doesn't need iron. It's just that wood is easy to break. It won't last long and needs to be replaced frequently."
Wood is also harder, but compared to metal, wood has a higher degree of wear.
Therefore, it is best to use iron. If there is no iron, you can only use other things instead.
Mrs. Yao Er heard this and asked, "Do you want to change it every day?"
"Then if you don't use it, you should replace it whenever it breaks. How can it last more than half a month?"
"That's okay. For people like us, a few pieces of wood are no problem at all." Mrs. Yao Er said, "The people are reluctant to part with the money, but those Otsuka pens are no problem. If the price is set higher then, it will definitely
Someone is robbing it. Things are rare and valuable. This thing is not available anywhere else but only here. If they want it, they can only come to us to buy it."
Mrs. Yao Er is indeed a shrewd person, and she can think of everything in business.
Gu Qingling was helpless with her, and said with a smile: "What do you want me to say? My business of benefiting the people has become a business as soon as you do it."
"Doing business will not hinder the old lady from seeking the welfare of the people. Just like the pigeon chess and toilet paper before, which one is not the old lady seeking the welfare of the people? We can not only make money, but also benefit the people. This
Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone? If you just make money, or just benefit the people without considering some costs, this business will definitely not last long. This can't last long, what's the point of doing it?"
When it comes to business knowledge, Mrs. Yao Er knows one thing.
After all, after being in business for so long, I have learned some tricks.
Gu Qingling praised: "If you can really persist like this, your business will definitely be able to enter the hearts of the people for a long time. What can last long? Isn't it something that is beneficial to both parties? What do you think?
If it is beneficial, then you will be the one to do it. If you can do it, the people will do it. This matter will not be difficult for a long time."
"My daughter-in-law also learned this from the old lady. Ever since the old lady handed Baixiang Pavilion into my hands, I have learned a lot from the old lady."
"You figured it out by yourself, you figured it out by yourself, and you still insist on stuffing it into me. Why are you wearing such a high hat for me? Are you trying to trick me into being a fan again?"
"Old lady, you can see it right away. You are indeed a sharp eye." Mrs. Yao Er said with a smile, "Old lady, you see... you have two directions here. I don't know if you can
Give it up and leave me alone. I don’t want it for myself. I feel sorry for your two precious grandchildren. Brother Yu and Brother Zhou are at the naughty age. They like to run around all day long when they have nothing to do.
They're all sweating. If there's a fan in the room, I don't have to worry about them suffering from heatstroke or anything like that."
Gu Qingling pointed at Mrs. Yao Er's nose and laughed and scolded: "If you want a fan, just want it, but it's my grandson's fault. They stay in the kindergarten all day, go out as usual, and don't come back until dark.
, I stay there most of the time. When do I run around at home? Besides, when they come back, Brother Can will also be back. Even if they want to run away, they will follow Brother Can. In my yard,
Why did you end up in your yard?"
"Oh, I didn't expect your old lady to see through it. Old lady, just see through it. Why do you have to tell me? Can't you just let me be a little careful? I... just like this fan.
.”
…
With Old Aunt Chen around, Mrs. Yao San didn't dare to interrupt even if she wanted to, for fear that she would say the wrong thing and go back to deal with it.
She looked at Mrs. Yao Er and Gu Qingling with envy, and thought to herself: I want a fan too, and I don't know when it will be the third room's turn.
Gu Qingling only has two fans here, which are perfect for use with ice cubes.
She could reluctantly give up a fan for the second bedroom, but forget it for the third bedroom.
The third wife is not her biological child, so if there is any extra, she can give it to her.
After the greetings were over, Mrs. Yao's second wife happily took a hand-cranked fan back, while Mrs. Yao's third wife returned empty-handed.
Mrs. Yao San complained about the old lady's partiality.
When Aunt Chen heard this, she became very angry and slapped her in the face.
Mrs. Yao San covered her face and shed tears silently.
"She doesn't favor her own son or daughter-in-law, but she favors a concubine like you? She's not brainless. Do you really think everyone is as brainless as you?" Old Aunt Chen scolded, "You're a worthless thing.
, you know you have short eyelids, and you are always worried about everything, who do you think you are?"
Mrs. Yao San just wanted to cry.
What is she thinking about?
No matter how much she thought about it, wouldn't it fall into the hands of Aunt Chen in the end?
She just thinks the weather is hot and wants to get a fan for Brother Xu? Isn’t Brother Xu the grandson of Aunt Chen?
"He is my biological grandson, but you don't look at the situation. Didn't the old lady say that she only has two fans in her hand? She keeps one for herself. Who else can she give the other to besides the second bedroom?"
Old Aunt Chen gritted her teeth, "If the eldest brother was there, the old lady might have hesitated and refused to give him anything, but isn't the eldest brother not here now? Do you think you are better than his own son at the old lady's place?"
Mrs. Yao San was dumbfounded: I said it?!
"I didn't tell you. Did a ghost tell me?" Old Aunt Chen glared at her, "I don't know how your brain grew. You don't have such a sharp eye."
After saying that, he left Mrs. Yao San and left alone.
