The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 33 Handmade Dolls
At such a time, a little girl came crying outside the vegetable garden. Because of her fair and cute appearance, she can read and read quickly and well, so Lu Xiaomi loves her very much.

Seeing that her braids were also loose, and her eyes were red from crying, Xiaomi immediately stood up, just in time to hug the little girl who rushed over.

"Erya, why are you crying, but Gou Shenger and the others won't take you to play?"

"Woo, sister Xiaomi, woo, my mother robbed my rabbit, rabbit!"

rabbit?

Xiaomi was confused, but suddenly remembered that when she was teaching children how to read, Erya was the best learner every day. It happened that she sewed a slap with rabbit skin in order to practice her needlework. Big and small Peter Rabbit, and finally gave Erya as a reward.The little girl likes it very much and holds it in her arms almost every day.

At this moment, although the little girl was dressed neatly, there was indeed no rabbit in her arms.

"Don't cry, Erya, sister Xiaomi will sew another one for you in the future!"

"No, I want my rabbit!"

The little girl became stubborn, no matter how Xiaomi coaxed her, she kept crying.The surrounding villagers all made fun of Erya's parents who came after them, and said angrily, "What do you think of the children, Xiaomi is busy enough all day long, and I have to coax the children for you!"

Erya's surname is Feng, and she is the youngest granddaughter of Old Master Feng, but her parents are the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of Old Master Feng, and she is also a respectable person in the village on weekdays.Now I was so annoyed by my daughter's face being smeared by my daughter. I stepped forward and pulled my daughter forcefully, and said angrily, "This damn girl is just a rabbit. Just make another one when I go home. Why do I have to live and die all the way?" Run back from the city!"

Erya was grabbed by the wrist by the old lady, but her small body was still rolling on the ground, "Woo, you give me back the rabbit, rabbit! You sold my rabbit for money, I saw it, I saw it!"

Erya's mother is Cuilan, and she blushes when she hears her daughter's confession, and when she wants to hit her twice, the villagers ask curiously, "Cuilan, what's going on? That rabbit is Xiaomi." It was made for Er Ya, why did you sell it?"

"Yeah, who wants to buy a fake rabbit, there are live rabbits everywhere on the mountain!"

Cuilan was helpless when asked by everyone, so she told the truth.

"Today I took Erya back to her grandma's house for a visit. When I went shopping in the city, a rich lady saw the rabbit in our Erya's hand, gave her two taels of silver, and insisted on buying the rabbit. I have no choice. , I don’t want to offend others, so..."

She didn't finish the sentence, but everyone guessed it.

Two taels of silver is enough to feed and clothe a family for a month.If you buy something and send it back to your mother's house, you will be honored.And the price he paid was nothing more than an ugly rabbit.Whoever puts this matter on, I'm afraid it will be sold...

But Erya didn't think so. This rabbit was a reward from her husband for her good study. She hugged it among her playmates on weekdays and gained countless envy.Now that my old lady sold her with just one word, how could she not be wronged?
Everyone looked at Xiaomi, expecting her to say something to persuade Erya, but Xiaomi squatted on the ground in a daze.

A young daughter-in-law wanted to tease Xiaomi, but was stopped by others.

Sure enough, after a while, Xiaomi jumped up happily and shouted, "It's such a coincidence that I was sleepy and gave me a pillow. I was worried that I didn't have enough money, and such a good business came to my door."

"What business? Tell me, Xiaomi!"

Everyone was curious and asked questions one after another.

Xiaomi smiled and waved his hands, "I can't talk about it right now. After dinner in the evening, my sister-in-laws brought the rabbit skins from home to my yard. Let's talk about it later."

After finishing speaking, she led Erya out of the vegetable garden and went straight to the backyard.

Erya didn't wipe her tears anymore. When it comes to trust, the little girl trusts Xiaomi much better than her parents.

Sister Xiaomi taught her to write, rewarded her with rabbits, and often gave her delicious food.But parents always say that she is a money loser and gives her brother all the delicious food. The worst thing is that today, even if she cried half to death, she will sell her rabbit...

Xiaomi brought Erya some snacks, promised to return her a cuter rabbit tomorrow, then grabbed a pen and paper and started drawing.

If Lu Er Er hadn't come knocking on the door, yelling that she was hungry, she would have even forgotten to make lunch.

Although the whole Lu family didn't know what weird things Xiaomi was going to be busy with, they were happy that she was alive and kicking around again.

Lao Yang smiled and asked a few words, Gao Ren also clamored for help, only Feng Jian remained silent.

Xiaomi puts food for him when he should, and serves rice when he should, as if nothing happened that night.

None of the crowd noticed anything unusual, only Feng Jian's frown deepened, his gaze swept over the "public chopsticks" placed on the edge of the dish from time to time, and the bottom of his eyes was dim.

In the past, she served him food with her own chopsticks.Is it still estranged...

Every household in the village was also lively for most of the day because of what Xiaomi said earlier.Now Xiaomi's image of a lucky girl is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since she says it's a good deal, it must be a good deal, and women who help her will never return empty-handed.

So, after dinner, the mothers-in-laws of each family rarely took over the dishes to wash up, and drove the daughter-in-law to the Lu's house early.

The women looked amused, picked up the rabbit skins stored in the warehouse, wrapped them up in packages, and went all the way to Lu's house.

The big kang in the millet house was already hot, and the tea was brewed. Two oil lamps were lit on the table and on the window sill, which illuminated everything clearly.

There was no mother-in-law watching over them, no children yelling, and the women were all happy to have such a leisurely moment, so they took off their shoes and got on the big kang.

Aunt Liu brought Gui Zhi'er, and Xiaomi specially brought Gui Zhi'er a plate of dim sum, and then raised the blueprint in his hand and said, "Auntie, sisters-in-law, Erya's rabbit doll was bought by the city people today. I suddenly wanted to do this business. It just so happens that shopkeeper Chen has a wide network and often goes to the south to buy goods. When the dolls are ready, I will ask him to send them to several cities in the south for sale, and the price may be even higher!"

Everyone thought it was a big deal at first, but they were a little disappointed when they heard this.But after taking a look at the drawings, they all exclaimed, "Oh, is this a rabbit? It's so interesting!"

"That's right, why is this rabbit still wearing clothes!"

"This must be a male rabbit, and this one wearing a skirt and head flower is a female rabbit!"

In the previous life, when Xiaomi was too busy, he often coaxed his younger siblings to watch cartoons.For the classic images of these animated dolls, I am already familiar with them.

Nowadays, just a few random pictures are enough, but she doesn't plan to spend it all at once, so long-term flow is good.The most important thing is that although merchants in this time and space are smart enough, their vision is still too limited.

This time making and selling dolls, she plans to learn from the methods of the merchants in her previous life. If she can manage a small brand, it is also a way of making money that cannot be underestimated.

"Come on, sisters-in-law, listen to me a few more words."

Xiaomi clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and said, "Sister-in-laws know that there are risks in doing business. I chose this matter, and naturally I also took the risk. How many rabbit skins were used today? How much is the house, Aunt Liu will help me remember. The price I offered is [-]% higher than the market price. After all, it is a good leather left by each family, and the fur color is much better. In addition, a rabbit is sewn according to the drawing, and I will give [-] for the handwork. Wen. The little clothes the rabbit wears cost fifty Wen for a set. What do you think, my sisters-in-law?"

"what?"

The women were still smiling, but they couldn't sit still when they heard this, they all waved their hands and shouted, "This is impossible, this is impossible!"

"It's just a set of adult clothes, and the handwork is only a few tens of pennies. How about two hundred pennies for sewing a rabbit? It's too much, too much!"

"That's right, the rabbit's clothes can use a few threads, but not so much."

"Sisters-in-law, listen to me," Xiaomi knew that everyone was kind and refused to take advantage of it, but she planned to say something first.

"You get what you pay for. I pay high wages, so I naturally ask my sisters-in-law to keep improving and work well. Otherwise, don't say that I don't pay wages, and ask my sisters-in-law to rework and even accompany me for materials. You know, I might send these dolls to the capital for those nobles and ladies to hold and play in their arms. If the workmanship is poor, they will make fun of them.

You only look at the rabbit's clothes and think they are small, but they are not simple. The embroidered text on the front of the clothes can't be crooked or missing.

If the sister-in-laws are contemptuous, or just fooling around, then the sister-in-laws should stop taking it. I would rather spend more money and go to the city to find a good embroidery worker. "

Everyone looked at each other in dismay when they heard it, and after thinking about it, it was rare to get serious, and then carefully looked at the drawings of the rabbits and clothes, only now did they realize that, as Xiaomi said, some objects are small, but there is no need for a single process , some are even more complicated than adult clothes, no wonder they have to pay so much...

Aunt Liu wanted to go through the blueprints in everyone's hands one by one, but she still said, "Xiaomi, no matter how many and complicated the process is, it's always small things that don't take much effort, and you still pay a lot."

"Not much." Xiaomi smiled and hugged her arm, and joked, "At that time, I will really sell these dolls for a high price. Sisters-in-law, don't say I am greedy, just share with you if you have less."

"Then how come, where can I find such a good job?"

"That's right, even if you sell it for the price of a golden rabbit, it's also your ability. We can do some needlework, and naturally we will charge a handwork wage."

Little daughters-in-law, one counts as one, and they all pat their chests to guarantee.

The folk customs in the Northland are simple and honest, and the villagers on Laoxiong Ridge are especially honest, and they are not so red-eyed because of money.

But Xiaomi is not prepared to spoil the important event of unity because of money.

So, she threw out a few more "sweet dates", "If this business doesn't make money, forget it. If it makes a lot of money, the cost will be deducted at that time, and then [-]% of the profit will be used to buy rouge, gouache or fabric for the sisters-in-law. I thank you." The sisters-in-law have worked hard."

"Haha, okay, following Xiaomi is to have meat to eat and new clothes to wear."

"Miss Xiaomi, don't worry, we won't do anything else, we will do whatever you tell us to do."

Everyone chattered lively, and at the end they took the blueprints one after another, and rummaged through the rabbit skins of the same coat color according to the appearance of the rabbits they had allocated.
