my grandmother

Chapter 89 Business
After Li Xiaonan finished eating a piece of smoked fish, she reached out to take another piece, but the spindle in Li Yinzhu's hand hit Li Xiaonan's hand.

"Eat one piece, you can't eat any more." Li Yinzhu stood up, covered the bowl of smoked fish, and put it in a bamboo basket hanging from the beam.

"That's a lot." Li Xiaonan muttered, licking the smoked fish juice on her fingers.

"How much! It's 13 yuan in total. You eat one piece, and the rest is exactly two yuan per person." Li Yinzhu sat down and continued spinning.

"Just stir-fry two vegetarian dishes for dinner?" Li Xiaonan asked Li Yinzhu sideways.

"Two big pieces of smoked fish for one person! It's enough to fry one vegetarian dish, but you have to fry two." Li Yinzhu sighed.

Ah Nan is really lazy and greedy!
Li Xiaonan drooped her shoulders, sighed, and moved the small bamboo chair to Li Yinzhu's side.

"You didn't see me spinning, so don't come here." Li Yinzhu raised her arms and pulled out the long and thin cotton thread.

"Sister San, I'm going to see the weaving workshop today..."

"You've said it twice." Li Yinzhu thought of the six-shed loom when she heard Zhifang, feeling a little sad.

She wanted that loom very badly.

"I mean, I want to do the weaving business." Li Xiaonan looked at the third sister with her chin resting on her hands.

The third sister is not in a good mood today.

"You want to open a weaving workshop?" Li Yinzhu glanced at Li Xiaonan.

"You can't open a weaving workshop. If you open a weaving workshop, you have to pay taxes. Jacquard muslin is the same as silk, and the tax is [-]%.

"I was thinking, for example, Miss San, if you marry into the Hong family, you don't need to do housework, so you can weave every day, right?

"You weave every day. If you weave too much, you won't be able to wear it all, right? I'll buy the cloth you weave, and then sell it. Jacquard fine cloth is very expensive, and there's half of the profit in it."

Li Yinzhu paused, thought for a while, and nodded, "That's the reason. Even if you want to wear it, you can wear muslin at most, and you can't wear jacquard muslin. However, the harness boxes and looms are too expensive, and most people can't afford them."

"What if I lent them money to buy looms and boxes? Let them pay the debt with the jacquard muslin they wove." Li Xiaonan's eyes sparkled.

"How do you have money?" Li Yinzhu's eyes widened.

"It's just an analogy, for example!" Li Xiaonan bit the analogy and said three words.

"You have to know how to weave. There are so many pedals, one, three, two, six, five, four, etc. If you make a few mistakes, a piece of cloth will be useless. You also need to be steady. Jacquard muslin is similar to silk, and weaving silk is difficult and difficult. Slow down." Li Yinzhu frowned.

"How many people do you think can learn it?" Li Xiaonan asked.

"Second Sister can do it for sure, I think I can do it too, and Sister Elder Sister can do it too. Others, like our little Li Zhuang, the sister-in-law of the lobby will definitely do it, so can Sister-in-law Daliang, and so can Fifth Aunt, and Aunt Gensheng's eyesight is no longer good. ,and also……"

Li Yinzhu frowned and shook her head slowly.

"It's hard for others to tell."

Li Xiaonan groaned in disappointment.

Fifty or sixty families in Xiaolizhuang, just a few people...

Um!It can’t be considered too small, a medium-sized village can have four or five, a large village can have seventy or eighty, and there must be more towns...

Li Xiaonan jumped up, took the paper, pen and inkstone over, spread the paper and rubbed the ink.

"What do you want to write?" Li Yinzhu stretched out her head.

"Write down my business plan!" Li Xiaonan happily replied, "The four-shed loom we went to see last time costs 860 yuan, and the silver price is [-] yuan and one tael. A four-shed loom is worth ten taels." Silver is so expensive..."

Li Yinzhu saw that Li Xiaonan had written ten taels of silver for a four-shed loom, and she stared and shouted, "This is high-quality paper sent by your second brother Hong, it is very expensive, you can't scribble like this!"

"This is my business plan, not scribbling..." Before Li Xiaonan finished speaking, the paper had already been taken away by Li Yinzhu.

"What is your plan? Do you have money? A loom is ten taels of silver! How many copper coins do you have?" Li Yinzhu glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan, and took away the ink ingots.

Li Xiaonan sideways Li Yinzhu, raised her chin and snorted.

She has 25 taels of silver!
Li Xiaonan looked at the pen in her hand and the inkstone on the table, forget it, don't write, she should plan in her heart.

Li Xiaonan planned until the next morning, and made a long list of things to ask in her mind.

After breakfast, Li Xiaonan first followed the third sister, watching her feed the chickens and water the vegetables, and then watched Li Yinzhu and Mei sister wring two sheets together, standing under the loquat tree, looking up After watching for a long time, he went out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Where are you going?" Li Yinzhu asked hastily.

"Go to the paper shop in front and see if you can pick up some paper ends and corners." Li Xiaonan replied, and walked out of the courtyard door.

Li Xiaonan made a right-angle turn at the door of the paper shop and entered the tea house next door.

The shopkeeper rushed out to greet him.

"Is the girl drinking tea, or?" the shopkeeper lowered his voice and asked with a smile.

"Do you know Miss Wanqing?" Li Xiaonan also lowered her voice.

"I know." The shopkeeper nodded hastily.

"Then can you send a message to Wanqing, so that she can come to me when she is free, or I can go to her, I have something to tell her." Li Xiaonan said in a low voice.

"Yes! Don't worry, girl." The shopkeeper agreed straightforwardly.

In just over an hour, Wan Qing's voice sounded outside the courtyard gate.

Li Xiaonan jumped up and rushed to the gate of the courtyard. Seeing Wan Qing, she smiled broadly.

"You came so fast, you don't have to be on errand today?"

Wan Qing was taken aback by Li Xiaonan's question, "Why did I come so fast, you knew I was coming? I don't have to stand here if I don't work today!"

"I called you here!" Li Xiaonan nodded her nose.

"Our elder son called me here. I'm not your girl!" Wan Qing slanted Li Xiaonan with a speechless expression.

"I mean, I went to that tea house and asked the shopkeeper to send you a message asking you to come, and you came. It was me, not your son." Li Xiaonan explained patiently.

Wan Qing's shoulders slumped, she was speechless, "How could I know that you asked me to come, I came with our son! Let's go."

Wan Qing grabbed Li Xiaonan's arm and pulled her outside.

"I called you here, it was the two of us talking, why did you call your son here?" Li Xiaonan turned to look at Wan Qing.

"Can I call us Shi Ziye?" Wan Qing yelled strangely, "You man! How many times have I told you that I can't gossip with you when I'm on duty, you have to keep talking to me, you have to talk, You have to say it!"

Wan Qing's throat was thick with anger.

"I do not have……"

"Stop talking!"

Already at the entrance of the alley, Wan Qing paused slightly, took a deep breath, lowered her head slightly, and walked forward with a serious face.

"Hey!"

"Stop talking!" Wan Qing yelled as she tried not to move her lips.

Li Xiaonan swallowed, followed Wan Qing into the tea house.
