Chapter 450

When Gu Yumei saw Chen Shi laughing at her, she wanted to retaliate as usual, but she still remembered Wan Jia's lesson, so she didn't shout out in the end, and just lowered her head to do her embroidery work.

Seeing that she has been obedient recently, Mrs. Chen didn't say anything to her, and let her continue to embroider. With her little patience, she would stop embroidering after a few days at most.

Sure enough, after three days of embroidering, Gu Yumei threw the embroidered picture of a few leaves in the box and never touched it again.

Gu Jinxiu has been embroidering things.During this period of time, she embroidered two pictures, one was a picture of the reunion in Mid-Autumn Festival, and the other was not a scene, but a scripture——The Sutra of Blessings.

Half a month later will be the Double Ninth Festival in September. The Song of Fortune is a scripture for praying for blessings, which is very suitable for the Double Ninth Festival ceremony.

Gu Jinxiu thought, after finishing the embroidering of the Blessing Sutra, send the embroidery picture to Huaiyu Embroidery Village, and then formally reply to Grandma Li and become the embroiderer of Huaiyu Embroidery Village.

After discussion, the family members have decided to let Gu Jinxiu be the embroidery master and sign a three-year contract with Huaiyu Embroidery Village.In the past three years, her embroidery will only be sold to Huaiyu Embroidery Village.Three years later, she was completely free, and she could give her embroidery to any embroidery shop she wanted.

The third grandma said: "Embroiderers are rare and expensive. We only sign a three-year contract. Can Huaiyu Embroidery Village agree?"

Gu Jinli said: "Grandma Li is an open-minded person. Since she has taken a fancy to elder sister's embroidery skills and asked her to be an embroidery teacher, she will give elder sister the honor of being an embroidery teacher. Besides, our family is not such a family without loyalty. , although the eldest sister will be completely free after three years, but it is better to be acquainted, and if the eldest sister has more embroidery in the future, she will send it to Huaiyu Embroidery Village first."

Since an embroidery master can be as famous as a literati madman, he will care about his own reputation like a literati madman, so Grandma Li doesn't worry about it at all.

In the current Huaiyu Embroidery Village, there are also two well-known embroiderers who did not sign a contract but sent their embroidery to Huaiyu Embroidery Village for consignment.

"Then when the contract is signed, will Miss Xiu go to Huaiyu Xiuzhuang?" The third grandma looked at Gu Jinxiu and said worriedly: "Sister Xiu is old and looks good. Don't go far away, Huaiyu Embroidery Village is far away from our Tianfu County."

A girl's family, going to Huaiyu Embroidery Village so far away, if something happened on the way, she would cry to death.

Cui was also worried about this, and looked at Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's ask Mrs. Jiang first, it would be best if you don't have to go to Huaiyu Embroidery in person."

This is the reason why she has always asked her family to keep practicing boxing.Her family is not a famous family, and there are no groups of servants and guards to protect her, so she can only practice fists and feet to protect herself.

Gu Jinxiu was embroidering her own name. After embroidering the word Fu'an, she finished the embroidery thread and said to the third grandma and Cui Shi: "Third grandma, mother, don't worry, I will be very careful. It doesn't matter if the embroiderer doesn't do it."

She likes embroidery and wants to be an embroiderer, but there are not many things in the world that have the best of both worlds.Weighing the pros and cons, she will choose a method that is good for herself and her family, and will not cause trouble to the family because of a preference.

The third grandma nodded and said: "Of course the third grandma believes in you. You have never been bothered since you were a child."

Sister Xiu has a tenacity and is very calm. Just sitting upright like this can give people a very solid feeling.

"Xiaoyu, I made a new batch of mosquito coil grinding tools for you, and I will move them to the pharmaceutical workshop for you tomorrow." Gu Dashan patted the sawdust on his body, put the woodworking tools into the carrying case, and walked into the house.

Gu Jinli took a look into the yard and saw five piles of one-meter-long and wide wooden abrasive tools piled up in the yard, and said with a smile: "Thank you dad, you have helped me a lot, if it weren't for the mosquito-repellent incense abrasive tools you made, I would This mosquito-repellent incense will not work."

Gu Dashan's woodworking skills are excellent, and the mosquito-repellent incense molds he made are the same as those measured with a ruler, and the size is the same, the difference is only the size of a needle.

Gu Dashan's carpentry work is not only good, but also fast. It only takes half an hour after dinner at night, from July to late August, to help her make two hundred mosquito-repellent incense molds.

Each mosquito coil grinder has ninety grooves. If the grooves of two hundred grinders are filled with medicinal mud, her pharmaceutical workshop can produce nearly [-] mosquito coils a day.

But now the pharmaceutical workshop is short of manpower. The four brothers and sisters Mai Dong, Sanqi, and Ye Dakuu can make up to [-] catties of medicinal mud a day, fill [-] mosquito-repellent incense molds, and make [-] mosquito-repellent incense.

Even so, she now earns 30 taels of silver a day just by selling mosquito coils.

Mrs. Chen knew that Gu Jinli was making mosquito-repellent incense, and knew that mosquito-repellent incense was selling very well. People from counties and prefectures came to Xuanhufang to ask for mosquito-repellent incense. .

It's a pity that if Gu Jinli, the pharmaceutical workshop, is in his own hands, he won't let the other families touch it. No matter how flattering the Chen family is, it's useless.

……

After waking up the next day, Gu Jinli went to the pharmaceutical workshop early to make scar cream and mosquito coils with Kan Liu and the others.

During this time, Gu Jinli and Kan Liu made another 150 bottles of scar cream, all of which have a light floral fragrance.

"Scar removal ointment is selling very well. According to shopkeeper Cheng, the big families in Linhe Mansion like scar ointment very much. Now, as long as the family is not short of money, they will prepare a bottle in case a girl in the family hurts her hands and face. Yes, it can be used in time."

Yuanzi Medicine Store has a branch in Linhe Prefecture. The scar cream and mosquito coils made by Gu Jinli are first sold to Xuanhufang, and then sold to the branch in Linhe Prefecture.

The shopkeeper of Linhefu's branch pharmacy is called Cheng An, who is of the same generation as Cheng Han who is next to Dong Min's family.

Scar removal ointment is very expensive in Fucheng of Linhe Prefecture, it costs 25 taels of silver a bottle, but the wealthy families in Fucheng are particular about the fact that girls should not have scars on their bodies, so scar ointment is in short supply in Linhe Prefecture.

"Mosquito coils are also selling very well. In the past few days, Xuanhufang has come to three medicine stores in Fucheng, all of them to buy mosquito coils. Old doctor Wu didn't sell them. He only said that he had signed a contract with other medicine stores, scar cream and mosquito coils. They are all sold to contracted pharmacies.”

"The people from the three medicine shops were very angry after hearing this. They said that Xuanhufang has money and doesn't make money. Old doctor Wu said in a loud voice that Xuanhufang is not short of money, so he drove them away."

"Those people in the medicine store will not give up on this. Old doctor Wu has sent a letter to shopkeeper Cheng, and shopkeeper Cheng will deal with it. Let me tell the little boss. They won't let those troubles come to the little boss. The little boss Just make medicine with peace of mind." Mu Tong tied up the mosquito coils that had been sun-dried yesterday, and told Gu Jinli about the scar-removing ointment and mosquito coils.

"That's good, I hate trouble the most." Gu Jinli would cooperate with Yuanzi Medicine, and share [-]% of his profits with Mr. Wu, just to find himself a backer who could solve his troubles.

"Little fish, Brother Rui and the others have brought blue bricks and are waiting at the back door. You go and open the door for them." Gu Dashan came in from the corner door of the third entrance to the house, and said to Gu Jinli who was stirring the mosquito-repellent incense mud.

Gu Jinli held the keys to the fourth and fifth entrances to the house. Chang Errui and the others wanted to pull the green bricks in through the back door, so Gu Jinli had to open the door.

"Here we come." Gu Jinli followed Gu Dashan and walked around to the back door of the Lu family's mansion. When he came to the back door, he heard Gu Yumei's courteous voice.

With a bamboo basket in her hand, Gu Yumei said to Chang Errui with a blushing face, "Yuan, the second elder brother of the Yuan family, you delivered the blue bricks early in the morning, and you must have set off to deliver the goods before dawn. Have breakfast... This is the bean dregs cake made at home, there are quite a lot of it, my second aunt and I will bring you some, you can eat whatever you want."

Gu Yumei didn't come alone, Chen Shi also came with her.
