The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 86 Pomegranate’s new car

Shiliu muttered after hearing this, couldn't she just give the money to her? There were so many rules in this big family, and she had to go to the accounting office to settle the payment.

But the money was a big deal, so Shiliu and the other three followed the young man out.

Naturally, those wooden boxes were carefully collected by the servants of the Bai Mansion and sent to the owner.

Here, Shiliu and the others had just gotten seventeen white silver ingots and two broken silver coins from the accounting office, and were about to say goodbye and leave.

At this time, a young man came quickly and said something into the young man's ear. The young man hurriedly shouted to the three pomegranates: "Please stay for now!"

Pomegranate turned her head, looking puzzled.

The young man said: "My master is entertaining a guest. The guest also liked this wooden box when he saw it. He wants to order some and give them as gifts. Please follow me to meet my master!"

When Pomegranate heard that business was coming to her again, she was happy, but it was a pity that she couldn't earn the 660 yuan per wooden box.

The three of them followed the young man around the rock garden, then around the cloister, and arrived at a small flower hall. They met Mr. Bai from last time and a middle-aged man wearing a scarf.

As soon as he saw the pomegranates, Mr. Bai said the same thing as the young man just said, that his good friend also planned to order thirty wooden boxes, but only the wooden boxes with melons and five blessings for longevity.

Pomegranate couldn't help but responded: "I want the two gentlemen to know that my family has sold this fructose recipe to Liu Dong's family of Jixiang Inn. Fructose can no longer be made and sold. However, our family has also signed a contract with Liu Dong's family to supply wood. If you want to order a box of documents and a wooden gift box like this, you can go to Dong Liu’s house.”

"Is it the newly opened Liuji Fructose Shop on Huinan Street?" When the man wearing a scarf heard this, he also raised his eyebrows, but said: "It's okay if there is no fructose here, just this wooden box. I’ll place an order for twenty pieces, ten of each of the two patterns I just mentioned, and you can send them to me before the end of the year. Is that okay?”

It was not possible to make a fructose gift box, but it was possible to just make a wooden box. Pomegranate readily agreed immediately.

In this way, after receiving the deposit, I took over another small business.

After leaving the White House, Li Jizhong could no longer hold back the curiosity in his heart, "Pomegranate girl, when did you become so talkative and not afraid to meet noble people?"

Just when he looked at such a beautiful house and two people who were elegantly dressed and spoke elegantly, his mind was confused. Fortunately, he was not asked to speak just now, otherwise, he would have stuttered.

Pomegranate only smiled: "When did the lobby uncle see that I am a talkative, stupid and timid person?"

Li Jizhong was stunned, thinking that this pomegranate girl never talked much in the past, but she couldn't tell whether she was stupid or not!
He couldn't help but think of his father sighing at home, saying that this girl Pomegranate was a blessing, and now he also saw it.

In the blink of an eye, not only did he earn more than a dozen ounces of silver, but he also took on a wooden box business. He didn't know how much he could earn, but he knew that he just settled the money and got a ounce of silver!

The three of them left Gongyang Lane and went straight to Jixiang Inn. They handed the remaining wooden box in the basket to shopkeeper Huang.

Shopkeeper Huang saw the twenty exquisite wooden boxes, nodded with satisfaction, and quickly paid the money. He also urged the pomegranate wooden box to be made faster, so that when he came back on the fifteenth day to deliver the remaining twenty gift boxes, at least I have to send twenty wooden boxes.

Pomegranate thought about the progress at home, but she didn't boast that it would be possible. She only said that slow work will lead to careful work. The wooden box should be made exquisite, and there should be no carelessness, but she would do her best.

It was now dinner time, and Li Jili could take an hour's rest from work. When he saw his eldest brother coming, and his nephews and nieces, he immediately took the three of them to a small restaurant outside to have lunch together.

Pomegranate also wanted to thank Li Jizhong for taking them into the city today and accompanying them here and there. Another one was that he had something to trouble Li Jili later, so he immediately decided to treat himself to the small restaurant last time. , delicious and not expensive.

At that moment, the four of them went straight to the small restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

While eating, Pomegranate asked Li Jili, "Uncle Liu, do you know where mules are sold in the city? What's the price?" When Li Jili heard this, he immediately looked over and said, "What? Do you want to buy mules?"

Shiliu nodded, "I'm thinking about buying a car. It will be more convenient when I go to the city and go home!"

Li Jili thought about the current situation of his fourth brother's family, and buying a car was not a problem, so he started to make arrangements, "Let's go to the cattle and horse market in the west of the city. I know a mule dealer there. His brother-in-law was our shopkeeper last time. I bought the mule there, the price is fair, the mule is a good mule, and I’m not afraid of being cheated!”

"Okay! Just listen to Uncle Six. I'll have to ask Uncle Six to lead the way later!"

"Hey! Are you so polite to Uncle Six? Don't worry, Uncle Six will come forward later and promise to pick a good mule for you!"

Naturally, you have to be polite with Uncle Six, but after dinner, Li Jili was scrambling to pay the bill. Shiliu let Li Rongzong hug his arm and drag him down, and he quickly paid for the meal.

All the way out of the restaurant, Li Jili was still chattering.

"You kid! Uncle Six is ​​staying in this city. You and Uncle Six are having dinner together. How can there be any reason for you, a child, to give money?"

Shiliu grinned. She just wanted to pay the bill because she was not polite to Uncle Six. Otherwise, she would have eaten the meal without saying anything.

Uncle Liu's monthly salary and the expenses of the whole family in the city are all, how can he be allowed to settle the accounts.

The four of them arrived at the carriage and horse market that Li Jili mentioned. Li Jili took the lead and went straight to the dealer he knew, "Old Xia!"

"Ouch! It's Brother Li! What brought you here?" The summer merchant was tall and thin, but his face was round, and he looked quite kind.

Li Jili smiled and said: "I'll pick a mule to pull the cart! We are not outsiders, so you can pick the leader for me!"

When the dealer Xia heard this, he immediately said: "That's for sure! Brother Li, do you want to use it to pull a cart? I just got a few horses and mules here. They are of a good age! They are very strong and good at pulling carts! They have better endurance. , what do you think?"

Li Jili also knew that horses and mules were faster than donkeys and mules. If there were horses and mules, it was naturally better to buy horses and mules. First, he asked the Xia dealer to point out a few horses and mules. They indeed looked good. When he asked about the price, they were five ounces of money, which was only less than donkeys and mules. Expensive.

Immediately, he turned to Pomegranate and winked, asking her how she was doing.

Shiliu didn't understand this either. She just had to trust Uncle Liu and let him decide.

Li Jili asked Merchant Xia to pick one.

Merchant Xia happily pulled a green and black mule over, "This one is the best! You believe me!"

When the merchant Xia went to pull the mule, Pomegranate took five silver ingots and gave them to Li Jili.

At this moment, Li Jili gave five silver ingots to Merchant Xia, and also helped Merchant Xia sell a car hood at a cheap price.

This car awning is shaped like a sedan body, with a domed roof. The awning is made of bamboo strips and is covered with a layer of cloth. The cloth is coated with a layer of tung oil to prevent rain.

When he gets back, he will ask Li Jihe to make a large cart, put the hood on it, and then hitch a mule, and a mule cart will be ready.

But that was not the case at the moment, and the mule had to be led all the way back.

There were carts selling all kinds of pomegranates at the entrance of the market, but she didn't even look at the pomegranates. Her father could make them and do them better, so why should she pay such a high price?
