farmer's wife

Chapter 83
From the second day onwards, Granny Shi took Shi Man to clean up the house and took care of chores. At the same time, she followed Fu Yan to learn how to cook in the kitchen.

It's not that Granny Shi doesn't know how to cook, but that the Xiao family has been fooled by Fu Yan's cooking skills, and Fu Yan doesn't want to wrong herself even if she can eat well.

She taught Granny Shi the cooking skills and ingredients.

Granny Shi is also down-to-earth, she will do what Fu Yan says.

Shi Man was still young, so he might have been a little timid when he first came here, but Fu Yan didn't force her, and simply took her along to see and play.

And Shi Yang helped Xiao Lie in the front shop.

He is illiterate, but he can count.

Gradually, he can replace Xiao Lie to do some counting and getting goods.

And this kid didn't know where he saw and learned it. Slowly, he became smiling and eloquent at everyone in the shop, and the customers were willing to chat with him more.

The old regular customers praised the young man for being clever and coming.

It was only when he returned to the backyard that he returned to his original character, a man who was silent, busy and couldn't stop.

Fu Yan also wanted to talk to him, but seeing that the child was always trying to help, he couldn't open his mouth.

Forget it, let's take a look.

Things gradually got on the right track, Xiao Lie freed himself up, and occasionally went back to the village to go hunting with his master.

The skills Xiao Lie learned cannot be left in vain for a long time.

Even if he didn't earn as much money from hunting as Fu Yan, he didn't want to let it go completely.

This is not only the ability to support him and Ah Jian, but also what he likes.

Patiently ambush in the woods, running and chasing, as if the whole world let him wander freely, this kind of stimulation and tension made him want to stop.

Fu Yan can also understand him, just like she likes cooking food and cakes. These are not only their hobbies, but also their means of earning a living, which brings them joy, satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

Within two days, Li Ji Buzhuang's servant came to invite Fu Yan again.

Seeing that the master has something important to do, Granny Shi hurriedly said: "Master, you can go, just leave the kitchen work to me." She pushed Shi Man again, "Let Ah Man serve you."

"Aman, you have to listen to Madam!"

"Yeah, I will definitely obey Madam's orders." Shi Man's bright eyes looked at Fu Yan happily.After coming to Xiao's house, she hasn't been out of the yard yet.

After getting acquainted with her gradually, this girl is actually chatty and lively, the opposite of her brother's character.

Fu Yan didn't refuse, took the little girl and went out together.

Li Ji Buzhuang.

Since Li Ting sent the letter, she has been waiting for a reply from the Jiangnan Li family.

When the reply letter arrived, as expected, Brother Feng, the head of the Li family, nodded and agreed to the business, saying that Li Ting and Fu Yan would just do it.

And the close embroidery painters trained by their Li family are already on their way to Shizhou City.

No, as soon as Li Ting received the reply, she hurriedly asked Fu Yan to come over to discuss.

Fu Yan handed the cakes on the table to the little girl beside her to eat, signaling Shi Man to be more at ease.

Shi Man smiled and thanked him, and ate obediently.

Li Ting: "When the artist I'm looking for arrives, I need to ask Ah Yan to give me some pointers."

"No problem." Fu Yan also expected this. If she was alone, how long would it take to draw these embroidery patterns.

"Before they come, I need Ah Yan to provide some embroidery samples. I can find someone here for the remaining batches of dots and embroidery."

Li Ting said with a smile: "Of course, Ah Yan, don't worry, we will also calculate the price according to the size and type of these embroidery samples."

"Sister Ting, don't laugh at me, what style do you want?"

"Your comic-style kitten is cute and good-looking, that kind of style is fine. Let the other common ones come when the painters arrive. They are good at this."

"Okay, I'll draw some samples when I get back."

The two chatted for a while, and heard Li Ting complain that she needed to find someone to complete a large batch of embroidery and stock up, and there were not enough embroiderers in her cloth shop.

Fu Yan thought for a while and asked, "Sister Ting, how about going to the countryside to find some peasant women to do this?"

She thought of the daughters-in-law and aunts in Anping Village.

Li Ting: "As long as it can be done, I don't care who I find. But our selling price is not high, and it won't cost a lot of money to find someone to embroider."

"How much does Miss Ting expect to order?"

"Small pictures are embroidered quickly, and it is estimated to be three or four scripts, and the big ones are estimated to be seven or eight scripts. Of course, the big ones with many colors will be calculated separately."

Fu Yan nodded. As long as she is a careful and patient person, she can do it in her spare time. It is also a way to make money. It is estimated that there will be a lot of daughter-in-laws who are willing.

Fu Yan drank tea and listened to Li Ting's calculation of various costs. She couldn't help but smiled and said, "When there are more people doing this, Sister Ting can directly sell cross-stitch stippling, and let the buyers embroider it themselves."

Li Ting's eyes lit up, she grabbed Fu Yan's hand and boasted, "Ah Yan is still smart, you can think of all of this."

Small profits but quick turnover, there are many ways to make money.

This [-]% profit is not a loss, the Li family has made a lot of money!
Fu Yan smiled and said: "When the embroidery samples are ordered, I have some daughters-in-law and aunts who should be willing to take on this job, and I will have to trouble Sister Ting to share the pie."

"Hahaha, share points. More people will do it together. Ah Yan, you are the one who helped sister Ting."

After the deal was settled, Fu Yan took Shi Man back.

Along the way, Shi Man looked up at her from time to time.

The little girl's eyes were burning like fire, which made Fu Yan feel uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but stopped and lowered her head and asked, "What's wrong with Aman?"

Shi Man covered her mouth with both hands and shook her head, her blinking eyes seemed unable to hold back her words, she still whispered cheerfully: "Ma'am, you are so amazing!"

Just now she was standing beside Fu Yan, watching Fu Yan and Mrs. Li talking about the business field, that confident and high-spirited demeanor was deeply imprinted in her heart.

The lady is really beautiful and powerful!

Although she can't understand.

But Mrs. Li also praised Madam, so Madam is amazing!

Fu Yan pinched the little girl's face which was getting more complexioned, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Aman will become very powerful in the future. Well, let's go, the family should have dinner."

With the help of the three members of the Shi family, Fu Yan was indeed much more relaxed.

Let Granny Shi take care of some work that can be let go, and she will have time to ponder over the embroidery patterns carefully.

Whenever she draws comic-style villains, kittens, puppies, little tigers, etc. at home, the three children in the family like to surround her, even Shi Yang is no exception.

At the moment when the dots become a painting, when they see clearly what Fu Yan is painting, the three of them will always applaud: "Wow".

The whole family was amused by them.

Fu Yan saw that they really liked this style, so she took the time to ask them what they liked, and wanted to draw them all to make purses later.

Now the three of them are really happy to go to heaven, but they are very entangled in choosing the embroidery pattern.
