Ever since Qiao Mingjin got the news that Yun Jin brought back from the city, saying that the clothes hangers were selling like hotcakes, she thought about making a large batch of them before others reported it.
Then she asked Sister Xiu to find a few people in the village who knew carpentry work to help.
After working for several days, thousands of clothes hangers and thousands of clothespins were made.
Shipped to Yao Ji one after another.
Most of it is sold in shops, and a small part is transported by the Yao brothers to various villages and markets for sale.
Feedback said it was selling extremely well, so I sold it short.
Although the price is low, it is only the price of a vegetable bun and a meat bun, but Shi Gen, Yue Dongzhi and the several people hired to help with the work each receive twenty or thirty cash per day.
In this season of leisurely cat winter, everyone is extremely happy.
Qiao Mingjin knew that this thing was not much different from the sale of a hammer.
After the initial big sales, there must be a period of decline. This thing is not something that is easy to wear and tear. It is estimated that only a few hundred pieces will be sold every month, so she will be embarrassed to divide it.
It's just to use this thing to attract more people in the city to go to Yaoji. Furthermore, it also has the opportunity to supplement Shi Gen and Yue Dongzhi.
But just in the past few days, many people have come to ask if they need to hire more people.
Twenty or thirty cents per day may not seem like much, but it is still a bit of a supplement to farmers.
She worked hard to pick up a load of firewood in the market and sell it, but she could only get about ten pennies. In Chuchu, she picked up firewood for a day and sold it for an ox cart, but she could only get fifty pennies.
It’s better to go early in the morning and then go late in the day, traveling under the stars and the moon.
However, we really couldn't invite so many people. Qiao Mingjin let Sister Xiu return to the village with all her fellow villagers.
Nowadays, there are no good wooden stakes to be dug in the forest in the village. Moreover, the winter is so cold that when a hoe is put down, the hands and feet are numb. More and more people choose Maodong.
Furthermore, because the workshop collected too many wooden stakes from various places during this period, and because it was difficult to dry in winter, the workshop was already full of wooden stakes, and they were all piled up.
To create a good root carving work, it will take more than a month to complete it. Even large-scale root carving works, if done carefully, will take two to three months.
Therefore, the movement of collecting the wooden piles also slowed down.
As a result, more and more people are hanging out with cats in winter.
People often come and ask, "What kind of work can I do?"
Qiao Mingjin wanted to help, but she had no good way, so she had to persuade him back one by one.
She would like to hire some more experienced carpenters to come back to the workshop.
The carving work was slow to come out, and there were so many unprocessed wood piles piled up in the workshop that she felt worried when she looked back.
It's just that the carpenters in the village can only do simple carpentry work, that is, nailing a chair or making a wooden basin for the home. I'm afraid they can't do the fine work in the workshop.
So, taking advantage of the winter leisure period a year ago, more and more people in the village went to the city to get idle work.
No matter how poor a family is, they still want to have a bowl of meat and vegetables on the table during the New Year. Most people believe that if there is no oily food during the New Year, there will probably be no oily food next year.
So most people still want to have a good vision for the coming year. The food on the table will not be too shabby.
So everyone wants to look better on the dining table in the new year.
Having a good year is almost everyone’s wish.
The New Year is approaching, the weather is getting colder, and it has snowed a few times. The charcoal basin at home also keeps sparking all day long.
As the new year approaches, Qiao Mingjin gradually becomes leisurely.
The family now eats well, and the children wear warm clothes. They can afford pens and ink, and can write in large characters. Qiao Mingjin doesn't restrain Wan'er and Mingqi after they finish their homework every day, and lets them play wildly in the snow.
.
Nowadays, the family no longer eats rice soup or sweet potato porridge with pickles. Wan'er is even willing to use red vegetables, green vegetables, eggs, etc. to decorate the snowman.
He screamed twice and then let them go.
Today's life is something she doesn't dare to imagine.
Her family is poor. When she married into the Yun family, she could have enough to eat. Her parents-in-law were good, and they grew some vegetables at home. Her mother-in-law often picked them up to sell in the city or at the market. She could see her at home once in a month or two.
Oily.
She thought it would be a good day.
It is much better than many other families. At least it is not like my husband’s aunt’s family, where there is no oily smell for months.
But what now?
Not to mention the greasy and fishy food he ate every day, it was still a big piece of meat. He even ate it until he was full. The smiles on her husband’s face became more and more numerous, and his whole temperament also changed. Looking back at him made her eyes warm and her heart beat.
My husband's wallet is also quite bulging. Occasionally when he comes back from the city, he will buy one or two gifts for his wife, either cloth or silver hairpins.
My son's little face is becoming more and more rosy and shiny. Not only does he have new clothes and shoes, he also wears a big sweater in winter!
And her private money is getting richer and richer.
He had never dared to imagine such a day.
Presumably, in a year or two, she will be able to happily send her son to school. How could she have dared to think about this before?
Mrs. He really admired her husband as her cousin.
Originally, the family was worried about what would happen after her divorce. A woman had already been married and had a child. After the divorce, could she find a better family?
Either he has a crooked melon or a cracked jujube, or he is an old widower with children.
The children's grandparents and great-grandmothers all sigh and feel sad.
But she never imagined that less than a year later, she could not lift a shoulder or lift a hand. The weak woman who was raised by her grandmother to be a lady was supporting the family by herself.
It’s so prosperous that it makes people jealous.
After a cozy night, the husband and wife gossiped. Whenever the husband talked about this cousin, he always said that he had known that this cousin was extraordinary since he was a child, and that he had meat to eat with his cousin.
She occasionally teases her husband. Does she regret not being able to marry such an extraordinary cousin?
Every time she was beaten cruelly by her husband.
She, Dongmei He, was lucky to marry into the Yun family.
Now when she saw her only son, Xiao Yunluan, happily taking eggs from the kitchen to use as eyes for the snowman, she said nothing.
Every time I just watched Jinniang happily.
As long as the children are happy.
After Qiao Mingjin had some free time, she would occasionally send Yun Jin and Ming Qi back to Yunjia Village to stay for a few days. Her parents also had to pickle some dried vegetables and make some bacon in the winter, so there was always some work to do.
Ever since that little girl learned to ride a horse, occasionally when Yun Jin was busy, she would ride a horse by herself and run back to Yunjia Village half-baked.
In the morning, he went back with a cloth ruler, and in the evening he rode back on horseback to bring the clothes that Lan and Mingyu had made for their mothers early in the morning. Or they brought some food that Qiao Mingjin would eat on a daily basis.
When Wan'er and Yun Luan met, they also wanted to ride horses and go back to Yunjia Village.
Qiao Mingjin would never dare to let Mingqi take her two children back.
That girl was riding back alone, and she was very worried. Not to mention taking another baby with her.
But occasionally, when Yun Jin drove his carriage back, he would be asked to take two small things back with him.
Not only did the Qiao family miss Wan'er, but Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun, as well as Yun Luan, a grandchild, also missed her.
The two little ones didn't realize what bumps were. As long as they could sit on the carriage, they would jump and jump for joy. Even if they had to sleep all the way back from Yunjia Village, they would have to do it every time Yunjin returned to Yunjia Village.
When the time came, I wanted to follow him.
In recent days, Yun Jin always brings back the real estate status reported to her by Mother Qiao and others.
The fertile land that Qiao Mingjin asked her natal family to buy is now cultivated by her natal family and her maternal grandfather’s family.
My maternal grandfather's family and my natal family will never deprive their mother and daughter of food. They must tell her clearly how much food they received and how much they sold for. It is better than sharing it with others.
.
And the one hundred acres of wasteland has now been completely reclaimed.
Mrs. Qiao asked people to plant some corn and miscellaneous grains, as well as some beans from fertile fields. It must be planted like this for a year or two. After raising the ground, it will also have some fertility. In a few years, it will also be necessary.
It can also be used as second-class and medium fertile land.
As for that hillside, Yun Jin said that in addition to buying chickens and rabbits to raise as Qiao Mingjin said, the family also planted some fruits and tea trees here and there.
Because when I bought the hilltop, it was already past the best time to plant trees. Many fruit seedlings were not planted. Now they are just flat. Some weeds and short trees have been removed, and I plan to plant more next year.
Fruit trees, or see if there are any more tea saplings to plant.
The mountain area is quite large, with a total area of more than 700 acres on the mountain. Originally, there were some relatively large trees and a large bamboo forest on the mountain.
When the land was flat, I also sold some trees and some bamboos and got a hundred taels of silver. Recently, I collected some winter bamboo shoots, fungus, mountain treasures and other items. Lan also packed them and asked Yunjin to bring them.
I brought quite a lot of winter bamboo shoots from home, including two large baskets. They were all peeled.
Qiao Mingjin gave some to Sister Xiu, the Ma family and some other families who had close contact with each other on weekdays. Shi Gen and Yue Dongzhi's family also got some.
Those two families were very polite and returned some home-made dried vegetables. The other families also returned some of their own vegetables, eggs, etc.
Qiao Mingjin saw that there were a lot of bamboo shoots left, so he called Mr. He, who cut, dried and pickled them, and made several jars of sour bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots.
It tastes pretty good.
He also asked Yun Jin to send many gifts to the Qiao family and the Yun family.
He also sent it to Qiao's house along with several medicinal recipes he asked for from Zhou Yanqing.
Now the Qiao family is no longer what it used to be.
With Qiao Mingjin's help and Mingjue's money, things got better for the family.
Now that the family had money, they were willing to buy some delicious food for Qiao's father to replenish his health. However, Qiao's father had gradually made up for his shortcomings earlier.
In addition, Father Qiao is now teaching more than a dozen young children in the village and has gained the respect of the villagers. A smile gradually appears on his face. Life is getting better and he feels more relaxed.
Nowadays, she often helps Qiao Mingjin manage her properties and properties, and occasionally comes up with some ideas or goes to the mountain to watch the flocks of chickens and rabbits running around, which is a lot of fun.
Life is getting better for her natal family, and there are people asking for Ming Jue and Ming Yu's marriage. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
