"Don't wash your clothes by yourself in the future. I'll wash them for you. Look, you haven't washed them clean." Lin Baobao pulled up the sleeve of Gu Shi's right hand and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see the small black patch on it. What.

The position under the wrist, if she hadn't measured him just now, she wouldn't have found it.

The clothes at home are usually washed by Zhao's sister-in-law three times, and Lin Baobao will wash the clothes after taking a shower after wearing them.

Every time Gu Shize went to the river to take a bath, he would bring his washed clothes with him.

After a day of farm work, his clothes were already dirty. He just rubbed them in the river, and there was no saponins, so it would be strange if they could be washed clean.

When she was about to stop seeing Gu, she said that the beginning would be lost, so she raised her head and asked, "Actually, what are you?"

Gu Shi's eyes flickered, and he pulled out his sleeves: "Actually, I don't think it's good to teach parents how to write directly."

Facing Shanglin Baobao's suspicious eyes, he continued: "My childhood enlightenment started from reciting the "Three Character Classic". When I memorize it, the words will naturally be memorized."

Lin Baobao always felt that this was not what Gu Shi wanted to say at first, but she had no proof.

"What do you think?" Gu Shi coughed lightly.

"Listen to you."

From now on, the Lin family will hear the uneven sound of reading after dinner every day, let alone mentioning it for the time being.

The next day, as soon as Lin Baobao had finished feeding the chickens, Liao brought little Liao, Erzhu's wife and two women from the village over.

The two women were not very old, in their thirties, one of them was Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law, and the other was also the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, her maiden name was Jiang.

The two of them followed behind Liao Shi, they didn't dare to look around, they looked honest.

Liao Shi also asked them to bring a piece of mended clothes: "Xiao Liu, do you think they can do it?"

After Liao asked, the two were obviously a little nervous.

The stitches are fine and tight, much stronger than hers.

Lin Baobao nodded: "It's not difficult to make silk flowers, but you can't take the work home. If you want to do it with me, would you two sister-in-laws be willing?"

It stands to reason that they are all in the same village, and it is convenient to take jobs and deliver them, so there is no need to do so.

But country women are more or less a little bit of a problem of taking advantage, even if Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law and Jiang are not that kind of people, do they still have family members?Who can tell?

It is better to put an end to it in the first place than to talk about it later.

Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief: "Auntie has already told us."

Lin Baobao looked at Liao Shi in surprise. She didn't make this request yesterday. She didn't expect Liao Shi to want to go with her.

Since there is no opinion, the people who do the work will just decide.

Lin Baobao and Mrs. Zhao moved the cut rags to the dining table in the main room.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou muttered: "This table is also very busy. It can be used as a dining table, a desk, and now an embroidery table."

Lin Baobao said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, if you don't tell me, I don't think so. It just so happens that the eldest aunt and the sister-in-law are here. When I go back later, I have to talk to the big brother to add a table for us."

After hearing this, Liao stood up and went out: "It won't take a while, I'll go talk to Tong Genzi right now, and it will be ready and delivered in the afternoon."

The few people who were a little restrained were amused by her reaction, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

It's really not difficult to make silk flowers. Not to mention the four people with solid foundation, even Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhou have learned it after reading it.

A few people sat down and started working without asking about the wages.

They didn't ask, but Lin Baobao had to tell.

Four types of silk flowers, three ordinary types and one delicate type.

On the market, silk flowers made of fine cotton cloth can be sold for five to ten cash, depending on the size and materials used.

Lin Baobao roughly calculated that one foot of cloth can make seven or eight flowers, and the delicate cloth can only make six flowers.

What she makes is a new style, which is calculated according to the price of ten yuan for the ordinary style and fifteen yuan for the exquisite style. After deducting the money for materials and the [-]% to be distributed to Mrs. Yao, she can earn four to seven yuan for a silk flower.

Of course, she didn't spend money to buy this batch of materials, so she earned more.

"Ordinary ones cost one penny, exquisite ones three pennies, daily wages are paid in cash, and meals are not provided at home, what do you think?"

It takes about the same time to make five ordinary flowers as two exquisite ones, but the exquisite ones are more labor-intensive, and the cost is actually about the same.

The price was much higher than what they had expected, so they naturally had no objections, and they got married now, so there was no need to worry that Baobao Lin would not pay him.

Lin Baobao saw that Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law and Jiang's hands moved a lot after she finished speaking, and guessed that they didn't want to ask, maybe they didn't dare.

After all, it is not easy for country women to find a lucrative job.

Mrs. Mei brought the big strong lady over on the second day.

"Xiao Liu, look at me, there were a lot of things at home yesterday, and I didn't come here until today. Do you still have work here?" Mei said with a guilty conscience.

After hearing Da Zhuang's words, she came to Lin's house to ask about the work as soon as her head got hot, and after confirming it, she agreed to come early yesterday morning.

As a result, Aunt Qiu ran to her house that night and said that Lin Xiaoliu wanted to find someone to do the work for nothing, so she didn't plan to come.

I don't want Tie Zhuniang to show off to everyone under the big banyan tree yesterday evening that her daughter-in-law earned fifteen yuan by doing a day's work at the Lin family...

Fifteen cents, that's what their men earn a day doing coolies in the town.

Mrs. Mei regretted so much that she hurriedly brought her daughter-in-law here early this morning.

When I came here, I saw a lot of people going to the big house of the Lin family. Without thinking, I knew that I wanted Liao to lead them.

As for why you didn't go directly to Lin's house to ask, isn't it embarrassing to follow the trend and go up the mountain to pick honeysuckle?

Mei didn't say anything, but Lin Baobao also guessed what was going on.

Even Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law and Mrs. Jiang probably wouldn't have come if Mrs. Liao hadn't come forward.

"Yes." Lin Baobao pretended not to know, and led the person into the main room: "Madam Mei and sister-in-law, please sit down first, let's see what other people do."

"to make."

For three consecutive days, apart from feeding the chickens, Lin Baobao checked the quality of the silk flowers everyone made.

In addition, she has to cook three meals a day at home and do laundry.

There is no way, Mrs. Zhao acted like she was wasting time every day when she sat down to go to the toilet, and Mrs. Zhou was all about making money to make new clothes for men.

Chen wanted to help, but she was embroidering a double-sided table screen, and Lin Baobao didn't want to waste her time.

In this way, all the work at home was piled on her, but fortunately, there were still big and second girls who could help.

In the evening, Lin Baobao lay down in front of the dressing table and counted the pile of copper plates in front of him several times, and muttered: "If I let them do it for another day tomorrow, I won't do it."

She still has six denarii left on hand, and if she continues to work, it will not be enough to pay her wages.

And now there are nine people who are working, and in three days, they have saved more than 200 ordinary silk flowers and nearly a hundred exquisite ones. It is estimated that these goods will take a long time to sell out.

When Gu Shi entered the room, he saw her pawing and pulling the copper plates, her hands hanging on both sides clenched tightly, and finally sighed, took out two pieces of broken silver from her purse and put them in front of Baby Lin.

Heizi just finished copying the books that Heizi brought him last time, there are two in total, and Heizi sent them to the study in the afternoon, before he had time to put the money into the box.

Suddenly there were two pieces of silver in front of him, Baobao Lin was taken aback, and tilted his head to look at Gu Shi: "Why do you still have money?"

Gu Shi: "It's gone."

Lin Baobao: Why do you say this as if you are afraid that you will ask him for it?

Gu Shi: The money I earned so hard is gone, and I have posted sixty cash (for Heizi's wages)
Lin Baobao: Did you hide your private money?

Gu Shi: ...
