Jiang Miao responded with a smile, "Okay, I'm short of manpower right now, and I really appreciate my sister-in-law's help."
I just thought that Erya, who had just turned one month old, was still inseparable from people. Mrs. Xu helped her make snacks, and who would take care of the child?
Mrs. Xu smiled indifferently when she heard her concerns, "Just let Da Ya watch her. She is already so old. She has nothing to do but eat and play all day long. There is no problem in watching a child."
Jiang Miao disagreed in her heart. Da Ya was still a child. If something happened, it would be too late to regret it.
But Mrs. Xu was determined to do it. If she was left to watch others make money, wouldn't it cost her her life? If Erya delayed her from making money, Mrs. Xu would be tempted to send her back.
Jiang Miao couldn't resist her, so she came up with an idea and asked Shen Laoer to make a cradle for Erya. They took her with them when they were working. With so many people watching in the kitchen, they were not afraid of anything happening to her. Mrs. Xu happily
no.
"Miaoya still has an idea!"
Shen Laoer didn't know what a cradle was. Farmers usually put a ragged mat on the ground to take care of their children, or tied them with a piece of cloth. They couldn't afford such a delicate thing as a cradle.
Jiang Miao explained the general appearance of the cradle, and Shen Laoer nodded after listening. Although he had never done it before, he had an idea after listening to it. It is a bamboo basket that can hold a baby, and the bracket below is made into a rocking chair.
Style, when the child gets bored, you can gently rock it to coax her.
"This is a good thing. If a child lies in it, it will not delay the adults' work. It can save a lot of worry!" Shen Laoer felt like he had found a treasure. "If I put it on sale, there will definitely be many people willing to buy it."
He is now used to the toy business, and he knows best that children can make money easily.
"Second brother, you can go and give it a try. Anyway, it won't take too long to do this."
"This..." Shen Laoer scratched his head in embarrassment, "You taught me how to do it out of kindness, how can I use it to make money every time."
The toy business has made a lot of money. Shen Laoer is not greedy, and he is embarrassed to keep taking advantage of Jiang Miao.
Jiang Miao smiled softly. She didn't know how to do it herself, so it was useless to keep the drawings in her mind. She might as well teach Shen Laoer. If he made it, he would be able to promote the development of the times.
"Then I'll split the money I sell with you 40-60," Shen Laoer didn't want to take advantage of it in vain. After all, he couldn't make any money without Jiang Miao.
Jiang Miao couldn't refuse the offer but had to accept it. She took another high look at Shen Laoer's character. He was worthy of being the hero's brother.
The Shen family members have good character and are reliable in dealing with people. Moreover, Shen Laoer's skills have gradually been honed. The two of them cooperate well. Jiang Miao's other ideas can be put on the agenda.
With the cradle, Erya no longer has to lie in bed all day long. Xu placed her at the door and asked Daya to look after her. People in the room could see her when they turned around, so there was no need to worry about accidents.
The cradle was covered with a small quilt that was soft and comfortable. Erya lay in it and turned over, and the cradle swayed gently. Her chubby little arms kept beating the bamboo basket, and she danced and played.
"Erya is only a little bit old, but her hands and feet are so strong. She will definitely be a strong person in the future."
Wang kneaded the dough and said with a smile.
She gave birth to two sons and was very fond of her daughter. She looked outside several times while kneading dough.
Xu curled her lips, "What's the use of being strong, and I can't help with the work. I won't be able to give my husband an advantage in the future."
Moreover, if Erya fails to marry someone who looks tall and thick in the future, she will die of worry as a mother and will be completely disgraced.
The more Mrs. Xu thought about it, the more she felt that Mrs. Wang was deliberately mocking her. The two sons of the eldest family were already a head taller than her, and now they were cursing her daughter for not being able to get married. Thinking about this made Mrs. Xu's face look down.
Wang didn't know that her unintentional words had caused Xu to have a lot of thoughts. She looked at Xu's dark face and asked in confusion, "Second daughter-in-law, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xu's heart attack, she felt so uncomfortable, she was really angry and showed it to a blind man.
"No!" She said in a low voice, kneading the dough in her hands vigorously, and she quickly kneaded the dough into a smooth dough. Wang's eyes were surprised.
"It turns out that Erya is following you, and he is very capable of doing work."
Mrs. Xu paused and glared at her. Mrs. Wang was confused and was not happy to praise her.
It’s not clear what the two of them are doing. She is currently making snacks for Xu Ziwen.
In addition to sweet snacks such as chestnut cakes, mung bean cakes, pineapple cakes, hawthorn pot helmets, jujube cakes, and cookies, she also made spicy snacks such as spicy strips, pork breasts, spicy duck necks, spicy chicken feet, and fish balls.
Snacks, after all, are her first "takeaway" customers, and Jiang Miao still values them very much.
Mrs. Zhang knew that she would send things to Shen Yanqing every few days, but she was still stunned by the large and small packages.
"Why so much?" The third child couldn't even finish it.
Jiang Miao noticed her confusion and smiled.
"In addition to my husband, there is also Master Xu's here. He spent money to buy food."
"Okay, okay!"
Mrs. Zhang and Yourong, Miaoya's craftsmanship is very good, and the food she cooks is even liked by rich young men.
Jiang Miao sent the big package full of snacks to the Xu family and asked them to help send it back. Xu Zilan learned the etiquette for a long time, and her whole face became dull after learning it. She lay on the stone table and didn't want to move.
Isn't it good for her to stay in her mother's family? Why do she have to marry someone, or marry into a high family? Just think about how she will have to deal with those rich and noble ladies in the future. She will have a big head as a daughter of aristocratic families.
"Look at what you look like whether you are standing or sitting, get up quickly!"
Xu's mother was holding a bamboo stick and stood aside to supervise her. Xu Zilan quietly rolled her eyes, straightened up and continued practicing her sitting posture.
"Madam, Madam Jiang is here!"
She had just lasted for half a cup of tea when she heard Caiyun coming in, and her eyes lit up.
"Please invite her in quickly, mother. Madam Jiang is here, please let me rest first."
She turned around and acted coquettishly with Xu's mother. Her usually cold temperament also took on a hint of coquettishness. Xu's mother was so heartbroken that she had no choice but to say, "We can only chat for a while. You haven't learned to arrange flowers today!"
"Know it."
Xu Zilan agreed, and Xu's mother let her go. Jiang Miao came in with a big package, and saw Xu Zilan who was particularly enthusiastic. Her eyes were so bright that Jiang Miao was startled.
"Mrs. Xu, what's wrong with me?"
"Pfft!" Caiyun couldn't help but laugh out loud at her silly look.
"Ms. Jiang, you have no problem. My wife is finally able to be lazy for a while, and she is very happy!"
As he spoke, he told Xu Zilan all about the hardships of learning etiquette these days. Jiang Miao felt very sympathetic when she heard that she had requirements for how to stand, sit, or lie down.
I can't stand the fairy-like characters like Lady Xu, what a perverted etiquette.
"You're the only one who talks too much, why don't you go and serve tea to Mrs. Jiang!" Xu Zilan pinched Caiyun, and she covered her mouth and responded with a smile on her face.
