Nongmen elder sister

Chapter 29 The First Money
Pei Qin drew a screwdriver first, with an iron head and a wooden handle. After drawing, he explained how to use it, "Just put it on according to a row of corn, and it will be worn out. Thread a few rows on the corn cob, and twist it again." It can be unscrewed easily.”

The owner of the mill couldn't help nodding while listening, his eyes glowed with joy, "This thing is easy to make! I can make one soon!"

"Tie Zhu! Go and get the guy, make one now!" the mother-in-law urged her son.

"Wait, it's easy. There's another one that's easier!" Pei Qin called him to stop.

Sun Tiezhu waited for her to continue painting.

The other one uses more wood, a thick long plank with grooves, a hole is dug in the middle, an iron screwdriver is installed under the hole, and two wooden strips are nailed on the top of the long plank. Hold the corn cobs along the edge of the basket and push them down hard along the grooves, which has the same function as a screwdriver. You don’t need to hold the corn cobs in one hand and pick up the sticks in the other, and it’s easy to wear on your hands, not to mention the effort.”

Sun Tiezhu couldn't help nodding, and looked at Pei Qin with praise in his eyes, "After making these two things, picking corn cobs doesn't have to be so strenuous! Sometimes the corn cobs are not dried, and the hands are full of blood bubbles!"

Si Ya was full of amazement that the elder sister had come up with such two amazing things, and she didn't say anything at home.

The reason why Pei Qin approached Sun Tiezhu was because his mill was sold out of business, his family was in debt and life was difficult, and secondly, Mrs. Sun and Sun Tiezhu were both honest and simple people. Regardless of how much money they earned, at least they would not be like another mill. The shopkeeper cheated her as well.

Grandma Sun urged Sun Tiezhu to make these two tools quickly.

Sun Tiezhu moved out the wood and tools very swiftly, and said to Pei Qin embarrassingly, "I have only been learning carpentry for more than half a year, and the things I make are shoddy.

"This thing is simple, so you don't need great craftsmanship." Pei Qin smiled, "However, it's because it's so simple that others can learn it quickly. So you have to make more batches at a time, so that you can sell it for money."

After all, Sun Tiezhu had owned a mill before, so he understood this, "Then how do I count the money?"

"Don't worry about the money, just sell it for a penny!" Pei Qin didn't ask for more, after all, she only had an idea, and the materials and craftsmanship were the same.

Si Ya frowned when she heard this, and pulled Pei Qin outside, frowning, "Is the eldest sister stupid? If you sell this thing, you will definitely make money. It costs a penny each, and it is only consistent if you sell a thousand of them." Money, one or two taels of silver. Where can I sell a thousand of them!?" She thought the money she asked for was too little.

Grandma Sun and Sun Tiezhu in the room looked at the two sisters and looked at each other, both worried.

"It's almost like a one-shot deal, and you can't make money just by doing it." Pei Qin patted her on the head after speaking, "Little girl, you think a lot, and you can settle accounts pretty quickly!" He went back to the room.

Si Ya's face was dark and displeased.

"Little Pei, this is the money." Grandma Sun looked at Pei Qin worriedly.

Seeing that she and Sun Tiezhu looked worried that she would not partner with them, Pei Qin waved his hand, "It will be calculated at a penny! We will settle the settlement after the screwdriver is sold!"

Sun Tiezhu hurriedly said, "Then I'll do it overnight! Make more!" Selling more, he can make money!You can pay back part of the money owed by the family.

"Okay! Then it's settled! We have to sell the firewood home, so we won't stay any longer!" Pei Qin nodded.

Grandma Sun looked at the two bundles of firewood they carried when they came, and stopped Pei Qin, "My family just needs to buy firewood, so sell it to us! I'll give you whatever price you get outside!"

Pei Qin's eyes fell on the sawdust under Sun Tiezhu's handwork. There is a carpenter in their family, so there is no shortage of firewood.

"That bit of sawdust is not enough to burn, and my family also needs to buy firewood." Grandma Sun quickly explained.

Pei Qin responded readily, someone bought it, and she didn't bother to recite it and sell it on the street.

Grandma Sun came out quickly with six Wen coins and two white-faced buns, "You came out to cut firewood so early, I'm afraid you didn't eat, you should be hungry by now. Take these two buns for you to eat!"

Si Ya stretched out her hand to pick it up, they only ate white flour buns for a few days during Chinese New Year.

Pei Qin's eyes flickered as she looked at the six-cent money, yesterday that man only had six-cent for two large bundles of firewood.Thinking about the Fang family at home, he smiled and grabbed the white-faced bun, and only took four Wen for the money, "Mother-in-law! These two bundles of firewood and four Wen are worth the sky, I will take as much as I want, I can't take more !"

"You child." Grandma Sun insisted on letting her take it, saying that everyone else sold it at this price.

Pei Qin waved her hand and came out.

Si Ya's small face pulled the old man away, and he walked out of Taiping Town, still ugly, complaining to Pei Qin, "Why don't they give me two extra coins! Don't you know how hard it is to make money!?"

Pei Qin took a deep look at her, "If I want to be greedy for two pennies more, they may miss ten pennies later. I didn't pay attention to how many screwdrivers were sold. Being a person is not only about money, but also about partnership. Be sincere!"

Si Ya didn't understand what she said, she knew that because she made less money, she almost didn't even have two white flour buns.

Pei Qin didn't say any more, and went up the mountain with her, rubbed a bunch of leaves, cut some branches, and went home.

Si Ya was holding two white-faced buns, looking at the firewood she was carrying, she couldn't help worrying, "I've been out for a whole morning, and I only have this little stuff, and I'm going to be scolded again when I go home!"

Pei Qin gave her a white look.

When she got home, the whole family looked at her as if she had gone out for something.

Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried up to pick up the firewood on Pei Qin's back.

Pei Wenbo pointed at Pei Qin with an angry face, "Shoot me home. You just cut some firewood all morning outside. How dare you say you're not going to meet your lover!?" Hiding behind Chen.

Pei Qin was not a violent maniac, he was scared after seeing him being beaten once, so he didn't bother to talk to him, and sent the firewood to the shed in the backyard.

Mrs. Zhu yelled that there was enough firewood, and didn't let Pei Qin go out again, and asked her to pick corn at home.

Pei Qin just waited for Sun Tiezhu's letter, ate in peace, and helped Fang's pick corn at home.

Pei Qin and Fang took turns beating the sacks with sticks, and poured the pounded corn into the big dustpan. Sanya, Siya, and Pei Wendong squatted aside to pick the corn.

My mother and I picked more corn in one afternoon than the whole family in three days.

Mrs. Chen was still moaning about being beaten so hard that she didn't do any work in the house.Mrs. Zhu only turned over the sun-dried corn.

Pei Qin earned four pennies, and there will be a lot of income later. She is in a good mood, without being an eyesore from Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Chen, and she is particularly energetic and active in working all afternoon.

But that mood was shattered towards evening.

The elder brother of the old Pei family, Boss Pei, Pei Houli is back.
