Seeing that Tang Wanwan looked like she liked it very much, Wang Zicong told her that it was ordered by a noble person, and a pair of furs would cost no less than two hundred taels. If it was customized into clothes, an additional one hundred taels would be required.
Tang Wanwan immediately clicked her tongue after hearing this. This is too expensive.
Wang Zicong just smiled and said: "This is not the most expensive one. If there is a pure red one without any stray hairs, it would be more expensive. Someone would be willing to pay a thousand gold."
Sure enough, poverty limits imagination.
Tang Wanwan saw that the furs they had processed were all damaged, or the styles were too old, and the colors were too messy and ugly. "Is this how you sell these, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Zicong knew Tang Wanwan's family background and probably couldn't afford to buy something very expensive, so he just said, "Miss Tang, if you like it, just give her some money. These are not valuable. Most of the time, you just waste your time."
When it grows, we throw it away."
Tang Wanwan asked: "How many others like you are there?"
"The warehouse at the back is full of half a room."
Wow, Tang Wanwan was so happy that she was going to make a small fortune now. In the end, she spent a tael of silver to load a full car. Wang Zicong even had someone deliver it to her home.
When Mrs. Chen saw that Tang Wanwan had brought back such a large amount of rubbish, she was really dumbfounded. The furs had a strange smell after being kept for a long time. When she first brought them back, Mrs. Chen refused to take them back, so Tang Wanwan asked someone to
I helped unload it into the warehouse outside.
It took Tang Wanwan a long time to convince her mother to turn all these things into treasures. There were so many things that Tang Wanwan and her mother could not finish washing. Then Tang Wanwan spent money to hire two aunts in the village.
.Fifty cents a day just to help clean these furs.
At first, everyone thought Tang Wanwan was joking. Who would pay fifty cents a day for someone to help wash things? Those who often wash things for others only earn ten cents a day. Tang Wanwan is taking advantage of him.
.
The two women were as happy as anything after they got the money. The next day everyone rushed to Tang Wanwan's place to wash their things.
They spent three days cleaning and another three days drying. After all the furs were done, Tang Wanwan was going to discuss drawings with her mother to turn all the furs into products. After all, Tang Wanwan was not
She could talk about many things in the decathlon, but it was another matter to draw them on a drawing and then make them.
When Mrs. Chen heard her daughter's ideas, she praised her: "Your ideas are good, but I am old and can't come up with these new tricks. I think you should find a good embroidery girl nearby."
"Do you know who among the young women in Tangjia Village or town has the best craftsmanship?"
"You may not be able to hire someone who is good at craftsmanship. I do know that your third aunt's mother-in-law has a niece who is a very good actress. How about my mother and your third aunt make a trip tomorrow?"
"Then I'll trouble you." Tang Wanwan took the initiative to wash the dishes after dinner, and Mrs. Chen took some eggs and a bowl of braised pork from home to give to the third aunt. The third aunt was the only one who had time when their family was in trouble.
He will not dislike their family, he is a warm-hearted person.
Now that their family's conditions are better, Mrs. Chen misses her friendship.
Coincidentally, when Mrs. Chen went to her third aunt's house, the couple were having dinner. When they saw Mrs. Chen had brought meat, the couple quickly said thank you. After tasting it, they both said that Mrs. Chen's cooking was good and asked her
How to do it.
Mrs. Chen said it was nothing, as her daughter Ah Wan’s craftsmanship was much better than hers.
The third aunt was immediately envious and said that it would be great if she had such a well-behaved, sensible and capable daughter. Mrs. Chen explained her purpose of coming, and the third aunt said without saying a word that they would go to her eldest brother's house.
It just so happened that she hadn't been back to her parents' home for half a month, so she just wanted to go back to her parents' home for a visit.
Life seemed to be back to normal again. Tang Wanwan and her third aunt's niece Yinhua designed many new designs and made many beautiful scarves, hats, and small pendants. The most popular one was the fur mattress.
.The winter in the Qilian Mountains is very cold. Sometimes, even if I cover myself with a thick quilt, there is still no heat at all.
This furry mattress, when you place it on your body, is like lying on a hot bed, so it is very popular.
Tang Wanwan put all these things on the cart and pushed them to the small market in Tangjia Village to sell them. In less than half a day, all the good-looking things were snatched away, and there were not many left. Tang Wanwan
When Wanwan was about to finish work and go home, she saw a little girl dragging her mother to buy something.
This girl had been here before, but she just looked at her, didn't say anything, and ran away quickly. Tang Wanwan was about to ask her what she wanted to buy, but she didn't have a chance.
Unexpectedly, the little girl burst into tears when she saw that her favorite purse was missing.
"Mom, I told you that I wanted to buy something earlier, but look at it, it's all gone now."
Tang Wanwan asked her what she liked. The little girl spoke very clearly and described in detail. It was a small pouch made of a piece of fox fur tail. It happened to be where the tail curved, and was added according to that shape.
Lining it and adding buttons, it becomes a cute-looking purse.
Unfortunately, two purses were made in total. Tang Wanwan kept one for herself and gave it to Xiaorou when she was going to visit her. Xiaorou did well in Yonglin Pavilion. It was almost half a month later and Tang Wanwan was ready to go.
Look at her and tell her about the situation at home.
"Little sister, look if this is it?"
When the little girl saw the purse, her eyes lit up and she quickly grabbed it in her hand. She smiled happily at her mother, her eyes as curved as a small moon.
It’s so cute. “Mom, this is it, will you buy it for me quickly?”
The little girl's mother's clothes looked a little old, and her face had a gray look. If the girl didn't call her mother, she would look a bit like her grandmother. "How much does this cost, girl?"
"This fifteen-piece piece, you see it's very finely made, and the fur on the fox's tail doesn't have any color at all."
The woman looked at her purse and said, "This thing is indeed beautiful, but can it be cheaper?" She reached into her pocket with one hand and felt it. There was probably less than fifteen yuan in it. If she bought it,
With this purse, the family has no money to buy medicine. My husband injured his leg while carrying salt blocks a few days ago, and he is still nursing it at home. Now that the family has no labor force, she, a woman, can make money by sewing and mending for others.
A few bucks.
Tang Wanwan observed carefully, and when she saw the woman's cash-strapped look, she immediately thought of the situation at home at the beginning. She smiled and said, "Little sister, if you like it, just take it. Anyway, I will close the stall here soon."
