Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 11 Market ([-])

Du Huanghua originally wanted to agree. After all, it was tens of pennies more, and their family could only save three or four taels of silver a year, so the wages she got for embroidery were actually not small, but Du Xiaoyu pulled her very tightly, and that force drove her back towards the door.

Seeing that they really wanted to leave, Mrs. Bai was in a hurry. She made a lot of money from Du Huanghua. There are not many people with such cheap labor and exquisite skills. Take the embroidery workers in Hongxiufang on the west side of the street as an example. It would cost a tael of silver to embroider twelve pillow flowers, but Du Huanghua's embroidery was no worse than theirs!
"It's easy to talk about, isn't the price still negotiable, Zhang Er, why are you standing there stupidly, and you haven't invited the two girls back!" Bai said with a smile.

Du Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and turned her head, "Anyway, my sister can't embroider twenty pieces, and ten pieces is about the same." If you don't want to be strong, the more they show that they don't care about Bai Shi, the less they can handle them. On the contrary, Bai Shi is in great need now. pillow flower.

Seeing her innocent face, Bai was very annoyed. Such a young child didn't expect such a sharp mouth, and she was completely different from her sister, but she was reluctant to let Du Huanghua go, so she held back her anger and said, "Ten pictures are ten, Huang Hua is indeed tired, and she has to take care of the family and embroider, so she will take more rest this month, but the price..."

Du Xiaoyu didn't wait for her to finish, and looked at Du Huanghua with concern, "Sister, are your eyes better? They turned red a few times, and she was in tears. This embroidery hurts your body too much!"

This is true, Du Huanghua's eyes were sore several times, and Du Xiaoyu rubbed them for her. He also taught her a set of eye exercises, so that she could do it when she was tired, and it was very effective.

Seeing the two singing together, Bai's teeth itch with hatred, but the businessman is very patient, as long as he can make money, she still has a good temper and said, "Oh, it turned out that I hurt my eyes, no wonder your sister loves you so much, How about this, take some supplements, I will pay for the medicine for you, and these ten pillow flowers still need to be embroidered."

Du Xiaoyu stretched out a finger, "One hundred Wen."

It's really a lion's mouth, and the salary for twelve paintings is only two hundred Wen, which is actually half of it!

Mrs. Bai squinted her eyes and smiled, "Huang Hua, you have been embroidering with us for several years. How often have I treated you badly? You have to think about it, if Aunt Wu hadn't introduced you back then, saying that your father would have no money to see a doctor." , you may not be able to receive a job, you have to have a conscience, don’t you? Now you can’t have a little craftsmanship, so the mountain looks as high as the mountain!”

Du Huanghua's face turned red. It was indeed Aunt Wu who introduced her here. In the past, her craftsmanship was not as good as it is now. He was progressive, thinking of her and murmured, "My sister likes to talk nonsense, you don't have to listen to her, I'll just embroider."

Du Xiaoyu was biting her lip beside her. Du Huanghua was a very kind person, and she was too reciprocal. Speaking of which, her father, Du Xian, also had the same temperament. In fact, Du Huanghua was better than Du Xian.

"No," but she is not such a person. Du Xiaoyu looked at Bai Shi and said, "My sister's embroidery is beautiful. No one who saw it said it was bad, but if her eyesight is bad, she will never wear it again." I can't embroider anymore!" She said and pulled Du Huanghua, "Sister, let's go, she won't pay a hundred pennies, she doesn't care about your life, why do you care about her!"

Bai's face turned pale from what she said, and she was here to sow discord, so she hurriedly said, "Little girl, why do you think that way, I love your sister's eyes more than you do!"

"What about the one hundred Wen?" Du Xiaoyu smiled at her.

"Who said no to it." Mrs. Bai had no choice but to use the previous kindness to persuade Du Huanghua, but who knew that Du Xiaoyu would never give up.Besides, even if you give an extra one hundred cash, it is still two hundred cash cheaper than hiring other embroiderers, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhang Erchong squeezed Du Xiaoyu's eyes, and brought over a hundred wen. This girl's eloquence is a real eye-opener. He is also a buddy, so he is very happy to see this situation.

"I also gave the money, and it will take half a month for the pillow to be handed in." Mrs. Bai asked Zhang Er to take out the silk thread of the fabric and pointed out the desired pattern.

Du Huanghua took the things and was about to put them in the basket.

At this moment, Du Xiaoyu spoke again, "Just now, the twenty pillow flowers cost 250 Wen, but these ten pillow flowers cost 350 Wen, right? Adding the [-] Wen for eye repair next month, it will cost [-] Wen."

All of a sudden, 150 more than before, plus the [-] given before, Bai couldn't help stretching out his hand and rubbing his heart. Why did Du Huanghua bring such a girl here today? Leak, everything is calculated!She really couldn't handle it, but she had already grasped what she said just now. After weighing it over and over again, Bai felt that it was still cheaper than hiring the embroidery workers from Hongxiufang, so he finally endured it and waved them away.

Du Xiaoyu secretly laughed, she used to be in sales, how could she not understand the thoughts of these people, but the wages are still too low, after she learns more information, she will fight for greater benefits for Du Huanghua!
The two of them walked to the outer room, Du Huanghua stared at her, and didn't know how to get around it, but Manager Bai agreed to it later, and gave him a few hundred more coins. After thinking about it, she always felt a little weird I feel it, but I can't say it.

"Sister, this embroidery is so beautiful!" Du Xiaoyu looked around at the decorations.

Baixiufang originally sells embroidery. In addition to undertaking large quantities of embroidery work from rich and noble families, it also sells some high-quality goods, such as embroidery by various famous artists and schools. Du Xiaoyu saw one of them, hanging on the east wall The picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix.The color of this picture is elegant, and if you don't look carefully, you may think it is a painting, which is amazing.

Du Huanghua also looked up, "This is Su embroidery, and there is only one person in Feixian Town who can embroider."

Hearing her extremely envious tone, Du Xiaoyu asked, "Does sister like Suzhou embroidery very much?" She was very focused every time, but Du Xiaoyu always thought it was because of making money, but now the kind of embroidery in her eyes The yearning is clear at a glance, it is clear that I love this craft very much, and it is true that only if I like it can I do better.

"I can't learn anyway." Du Huanghua shook her head, sighed in frustration, and led her out of the door.

The two of them first went to the market to sell the eggs in the basket and some fresh vegetables. There was not much difference in the price. They sold for 130 Wen in total. When they passed by a pork shop, Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at it. At a glance, she hasn't touched meat since the day her grandmother sent Wu Shi to deliver the food box. She is very dull, but she also knows the situation at home. Always clamoring for meat?

So greedy to greedy, she stopped for a moment and walked forward.

Unexpectedly, Du Huanghua held her back, pointed to a small piece of pork and said to the butcher, "I want this piece."

Du Xiaoyu opened his mouth wide, "Sister, do you want to buy meat?" What a surprise!
"Yeah, don't you like to eat?" Du Huanghua patted her purse naturally, "I made a little more money just now, Xiaoyu helped a lot, and you and your second brother are still growing up."

"Sister!" Du Xiaoyu yelled, hugged her arm and shook her vigorously to express her happiness.

Gluttonous cat, Du Huanghua scolded softly, but her heart was a little sore, she was so happy to eat a piece of meat, hey, if only she could learn Suzhou embroidery, I heard that a pair of embroidery pictures can sell for several taels of silver, and then she will not be able to Let her get tired of eating.

Du Xiaoyu saw that the man was cutting meat, so he poked his head around and saw some fat piled up on the countertop on the right, so he whispered, "Boss, can you give me some of this? This is the first time we're here to buy. Do more of your business!"

Seeing the little girl's gluttonous smile, the butcher sold the meat and cut some fat into it, "Look at you skinny, eat more, and buy more in the future."

Du Xiaoyu nodded again and again, "You are really a good person, and good people are rewarded with good rewards. If our family is rich, we will definitely come to buy them every day."

"Okay, okay." The butcher laughed, "Then I wish your family a fortune soon!"

Du Xiaoyu waved at him and followed Du Huanghua to the other side of the market. She still had to buy toilet paper. Just now, she noticed that the piece of meat cost fifteen cents, and it weighed about seven taels. Meat is not very expensive, probably because their family is too poor!She wondered how much toilet paper was sold here, and she was curious.

Facts have proved that the papermaking technology of this era is indeed very advanced, and toilet paper is very cheap, so it is no wonder that they can afford it. It only costs eight yuan for a few large bundles, but the texture is a bit rough, but it is also much better than leaves. This She is still very content.

The two of them later went to buy some daily necessities, such as salt, which is official salt that can only be bought in the town, and then went to look at soy products. Du Xiaoyu was mainly thinking about tofu, so he went to When I went there, I found that there were tofu, but there was no dried tofu. She was very happy, and she had to figure out how to make it when she went back. This is also a way to get rich!
After coming out of the market, there are shops on both sides, and Du Huanghua then went to the shop selling the four treasures of the study.

Du Xiaoyu looked around and couldn't help sticking out his tongue, the price is not cheap!
"Dude, give me this and this."

And Du Huanghua was already shopping there. She leaned over to see that they were all good paper and a writing brush that looked very beautiful. Needless to say, these must have been bought for Du Wenyuan, written in his handwriting Very beautiful, it seems that the eldest sister still loves the second brother very much in her heart, but there must be something in between, right?
"Sister, this hairpin must be beautiful if you carry it, buy one!"

Du Xiaoyu stopped at the door of a jewelry store and did not leave. Du Huanghua bought meat for her, paper and pens for Du Wenyuan, and torn cloth for her parents, but she didn't buy anything for herself. It's clear how much she earned today. Hundreds of dollars!

"No need, it would be a pity to fall on the ground." Du Huanghua dragged her away.

Du Xiaoyu is not as strong as her. Seeing the store getting farther and farther away, her eyes turned red, and she turned her head and said, "Sister, I will definitely buy you the most beautiful hairpin in Feixian Town in the future! And the most beautiful clothes!"

Du Huanghua burst out laughing, this girl talked a lot, but her heart was warm, she patted her head and said, "It's not in vain to hurt you, but remember what I said."

She nodded vigorously.

Thank you kan for your reward~
