Fat Niang makes a fortune in farming

Chapter 104 Love Bamboo Hairpin
No one would have thought that Meng Kejun could get a business after going to someone else's house to work, which is still a big deal.

"But Jun, is this real? Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

Huang couldn't help asking again, to make sure that it was true, and it wasn't that she was crazy about making money and had this beautiful dream.

"Mom! It's true! These two mothers made a few beautiful sachets and purses with all my heart, so I can show them to the cloth shop owner."

When she just walked all the way back, she still had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She didn't spend much time in Buzhuang today, and she didn't have time to discuss with the owner of Buzhuang. When she is free tomorrow, she still has to go Talk to him carefully.

"Good! Good! I'll do it tomorrow! I'll do it tomorrow!"

Mrs. Huang nodded quickly. She has been learning needlework from her mother since she was a child. It has been decades now, except when she stopped when her eyesight was bad, she has never stopped in the past.

In the past, she embroidered purses and made sachets for peddlers to sell in the market. Unexpectedly, now that Meng Kejun has accepted the job, she would do it for the big cloth shop in the town. Put some thought into it, do it well, and don't embarrass Kejun.

"Mother, do you know anyone in our village who is good at needlework?"

Meng Kejun also thought it over, if the owner of the cloth shop is interested in the samples, there must be a lot of work to be done later, the sachets and purses are all meticulous work, and Mrs. Huang can't do a few in a day alone.

"I know! I know! Maisui's craftsmanship is good, Aunt Zhang's, Sister Hua's, Aunt Gu's, and Li Shumei's across from our house are also fine! Why do you ask these?"

Mrs. Huang didn't understand why Meng Kejun asked this. Could it be that she wanted to share the door-to-door business with them?
Mr. Meng Ke also knew the few people Huang mentioned, and they were all peasant women who did their best.

"If the owner of the cloth shop orders samples, I'm afraid he will ask for a lot. You are the only one in our family who knows how to do needlework, and you can't embroider a few in a day. Don't delay the delivery of the cloth shop owner if you fail to deliver the goods." It’s a business. Let’s share all these things and let everyone help to do it together. We earn the difference from the middle, and we don’t earn too much. We only earn a few pennies each. Isn’t this good for everyone!”

"Is it okay?" This is the first time Huang has heard of such a thing.

"Whether it's okay or not, it depends on your handicraft now, as long as you embroider it well!"

It was because of such a plan early in the morning that Meng Kejun proposed such a condition to the owner of the cloth village in Buzhuang.

"Good! Good! I will work hard tomorrow!"

Seeing that Meng Kejun is so confident, Huang Shi also has confidence. She believes in Meng Kejun and knows that she never does anything that is not sure.

Ping'er who was sitting at the table didn't know what the adults were talking about, so he just sat there and yawned.

"Father! Mother! It's getting late, you all take Ping'er to rest!"

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Meng Kejun called Dong Jingye and Mrs. Huang back to the house to rest.

"Good! Good! You also go to rest earlier, you must be tired from working today!"

Mrs. Huang nodded quickly, then hugged Ping'er and Dong Jingye and went back to the house together.

"what--"

After Huang and Dong Jingye entered the room, Meng Kejun yawned and stretched.

"are you tired!"

A deep and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind Meng Kejun.

Startled, Meng Kejun turned around and raised his head, and happened to bump into Dong Qingfeng's narrow and deep eyes again.

"Not tired! I didn't do much at Sister Mei Shi's house!"

After finishing speaking, Meng Kejun lowered his head, not daring to look into Dong Qingfeng's eyes again.

As the candlelight flickered, Dong Qingfeng clearly saw two blushes on Meng Kejun's face.

Seeing that there was no one else present, Dong Qingfeng slowly took out a painted bamboo hairpin from his arms.

"this is for you!"

He reached out and handed it to Meng Kejun. In fact, he wanted to help her insert this bamboo hairpin on her head, but he didn't know if she liked it or not.

"For me?"

Meng Kejun looked up at Dong Qingfeng in surprise, he didn't expect him to give him something.

"I cut it myself!"

In fact, he planned to give this bamboo hairpin to Meng Kejun yesterday, but it looked too monotonous looking at the bamboo and wood, so after he went to the market today and sold his prey, he went to the boat in the town and asked the boat painter inside to paint it. Flowers are painted and colors are drawn.

With the finishing touch of the boat painter, this seemingly ordinary or even slightly shabby bamboo hairpin immediately becomes beautiful and exquisite.

Meng Kejun quickly reached out and took the bamboo hairpin from Dong Qingfeng's palm. The hairpin was light green, and the head of the hairpin was a pink peach blossom with light yellow stamens.

With such delicate work, it can be seen that it took a lot of thought to engrave it.

"So lovely!"

Meng Kejun held it in her hand and couldn't put it down. To her, this bamboo hairpin was much more precious than those fancy and expensive gold and silver hairpins.

"I'm afraid you don't like it!"

Seeing how Meng Kejun couldn't put it down, Dong Qingfeng was relieved. He was always afraid that Meng Kejun would not like her, that she would find her poor workmanship, and that she would be shabby, but looking at her appearance now, he was worried for nothing.

"I like it, I like it, how could I not like it!"

Meng Kejun nodded quickly, how could she not like it, this bamboo hairpin is so beautiful, not to mention this is the first gift Dong Qingfeng gave her, she will definitely cherish it and take good care of it.

"There are many poisonous snakes and beasts on the mountain, you have to be more careful, don't risk your life trying to earn more money!"

She saw that Dong Qingfeng made more money from selling prey in the past two days than usual, and also heard that Huang's return was late, so she knew that Dong Qingfeng must be working harder to make more money.

"I will!"

Dong Qingfeng nodded. He was actually thinking that if he could make more money, Meng Kejun wouldn't have to work so hard.

Meng Kejun looked up at Dong Qingfeng.

The candlelight flickered slightly, and the two looked at each other, but they were speechless.

"But Miss Jun——But Miss Jun—"

Just when the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Qiaohui's voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

Meng Kejun immediately lowered his head, carefully put the bamboo hairpin into his arms, then turned and walked to the door.

"I'm still on my way to find you!"

Seeing Qiaohui, Meng Kejun remembered that Chen Meishi said that she wanted to learn how to make clothes, and she promised that she would take Qiaohui to teach her.

"Are you free tomorrow? But it will take a whole day!"

This teaching of making clothes is not something that can be taught in a short while, it will take a lot of effort.

"Yes! Yes! I'm here to invite you. I'm going to the town tomorrow to pull some cloth. I can't make up my mind by myself. You can help me to have a look, just give me an idea!"

"That's a good relationship. I happen to have something to go to cloth village tomorrow!"

"Okay! That's the deal! Wait for me tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Meng Kejun accepted her invitation, Qiaohui turned around and left before entering the room.

Meng Kejun turned his head, Dong Qingfeng walked over slowly, and said to her with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's late, you should rest early!"

Glancing at the dimples on the corner of Dong Qingfeng's mouth, Meng Kejun also smiled, "You should also rest earlier!"
