Chapter 2093 There are kind-hearted people everywhere
Just as Mengyu finished explaining, the two babies both said "yes", as if they agreed to Mengyu.
Xiaohong was surprised: "Madam, look, the baby seems to be promising you."
Mengyu smiled and said: "Yes, the babies have promised me, I'm relieved now."
Gu's mother was amused: "It's just a coincidence. The child was born only a short time ago. How do you know what to promise?"
Gu Dongxing and Mengyu arrived at the orphanage. As expected, there were many children there, ranging from one to ten years old.
The dean was very happy when he saw someone coming to pick up the children. After all, he had income and could make more clothes for the children.
When night came, many children did not have cotton-padded clothes yet, and he was almost worried to death.
As the director of an orphanage, I naturally hope that every orphan will be well. It would be great if they all had a place to live.
He gathered the children together and said: "Children, someone is coming to adopt a child. Please cheer up. If anyone is taken back, you will not have to worry about food and clothing."
There were more than 300 children in the orphanage. As soon as they heard that someone was being adopted, they immediately gathered around, hoping to be chosen.
Mengyu will start selecting people immediately.
Mengyu originally liked children. Seeing that all the children were wearing very thin clothes, most of them had no cotton-padded clothes, and they were very cold and miserable. It could be seen that life in an orphanage would definitely not be good, so she planned to choose a few more children.
First, she chose two boys and girls aged four to six years old who had bright eyes and were qualified to practice martial arts. Later, she met a few two or three year olds and saw them looking at her with pitiful eyes, full of longing, and she couldn't help but
Four more boys and two girls were selected. In this way, the children she selected ranged from two to six years old, making a total of eight children.
She still wanted to choose again, but Gu Dongxing reminded: Our house can't accommodate so many people, so Mengyu had to give up. But she turned around and called Gu Da: "Go and call the owner of the clothing store to sew a set for each of the children."
Cotton clothes and a small quilt."
The director of the orphanage was overjoyed when he heard this. He was worried that the children had no cotton clothes to wear and was feeling sad every night.
However, he thought that there were more than 300 people here. If he made a set of cotton-padded clothes for each person, even the thinnest one pound of cotton-padded clothes would cost more than 3,000 taels of silver. Not to mention, there were quilts, and finally
A thin quilt requires four pounds of cotton.
This costs more than fifteen thousand taels of silver. If she knew, would she still help buy it?
Not long after, the owner of the clothing store came.
He was shocked when he heard that Mengyu wanted to donate cotton-padded clothes and quilts to the children in the orphanage. This was not a small amount of money.
He looked at Gu Dongxing and Mengyu: "Sir, madam, adults' cotton-padded clothes need two kilograms of cotton. Children's clothes can't be made too small. They can still be worn when they grow up, so they still need one and a half kilograms of cotton. Even if they are used
To make cotton-padded clothes from linen, a set of at least ten taels of silver is needed. More than three hundred sets is more than three thousand taels of silver.
As for the quilt, I suggest that you don’t make a small quilt, but a large quilt that can be covered by several people. This way you will be warm and will not be afraid of being unable to cover it when it grows up. A hundred beds of this method are enough.
Eight pounds of cotton per bed, and the quilt should not be made of linen, but at least cheesecloth. It costs about sixty taels of silver for a bed, and six thousand taels of silver for a hundred beds. The total cost is nine thousand taels of silver."
Mengyu was surprised: "Isn't it ten taels of silver per pound of cotton?"
The boss sighed: "Madam, you are so kind, how can I make more money from you? Everything is based on the purchase price plus labor costs. I don't make a penny, but to make these clothes and quilts, I have to hire a lot of temporary craftsmen.
, I can’t let people work for free, so this money is indispensable.”
Mengyu thought to herself that there are kind-hearted people everywhere. She thought for a while and said, "Let me give you ten thousand taels of silver together. Use coarse cotton cloth for cotton-padded clothes and fine cotton cloth for quilts. I will give you a deposit of one thousand taels first."
