farmer's husband

Chapter 145

Speaking of this fan, it was actually an unintentional move.

Isn't it hot?At that time, their family was still building a house, and the family of three squeezed into the shack outside, which was even more stuffy.

It just so happened that Chunzhi's younger siblings often come to play with her now, and seeing her elder sister coming to nest here after finishing her daily work in the field, they feel uncomfortable.When he came back next time, his younger brother Chunlei held a handful of bamboo slices in his hand.

"Sister, when I go back this time, I specially learned from the bamboo craftsman in the village, and I will help you make a fan!"

After all, he is still a boy, with a strong desire to show off.He didn't even wait for the fan to be made for Chun Zhi at home and brought it over, but brought a pile of bamboo slices and wanted to weave a fan for her in front of Chun Zhi.

Chun Zhi was also happy to watch his younger brother perform.

But just as the siblings were having fun, Chai Dong came over.He looked at the things in Chunlei's hand, and said faintly: "The bamboo fan is so ordinary, do you think it is worthy of your sister?"

Chunlei raised his head immediately. "It's not good enough, but I will do this kind of thing?"

"That's not necessarily true." Chai Dong immediately shook his head, and took away the handkerchief she just repaired from Chunzhi's hand, then took a piece of bamboo from Chunlei's hand, bent the bamboo piece into a circle, and put the handkerchief on The pattern on the basket is circled inside.

When Chunlei saw it, he suddenly realized.

"I see! Isn't this the fan used by the wives and ladies of those rich and noble families? That's right, my sister is a talented lady, she should use this kind of fan!"

He nodded quickly, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​making a fan for Chun Zhi with strips of bamboo strips, and began to research ways to make a better fan.

This kid is not stupid, and he has already learned how to make a fan out of bamboo strips.So, after studying for about half an hour, he started to do it, and then he actually made it!

Although it looks a bit rough at first glance, this fan is light and thin in the hand, and the embroidery on it is also pleasing to the eye.With a fan, the wind seems to carry the fragrance of flowers and plants, and it drives away the heat in the heart.

Chunzhi looked happy, and said to Chunlei: "You make two more! Make one for my mother-in-law, one for my mother, and one for Chunhua!"

Chunlei has never been addicted to it, and now he has done several more after hearing what Chunzhi said.And the more you do it, the smoother it is, until the end the fan is already done very beautifully!

The big guys fanned each other with a fan, feeling extremely good.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wang came back before they had time to be happy.

"What are you all doing? Ah? You ruined all the good handkerchiefs!" As soon as she uttered a loud voice, Chunlei turned around and ran away in fright. A group of children ran towards home laughing and laughing. Of course, I didn't forget to hold the fan in my hand.

Wang was so angry that she crossed her waist and wanted to scold.

Chun Zhi went up to meet him embarrassingly. "Mother, don't be angry! Except for the one in my hand, this fan is made of leftover materials we don't use. I originally planned to make it up for them. This bamboo piece was also brought by Chunlei and the others. Yes, we just played together and didn't waste anything."

"Who said you didn't waste it? Isn't the time you wasted money?" Wang said angrily, "With this time, if you embroider a few more stitches, you can save up to buy a book for my son!"

What she said was a bit too exaggerated.

Harue was so helpless. "Okay, I get it, I won't do this again in the future!"

However, agreeing to Mrs. Wang was one thing, but at night, another idea popped up in Chun Zhi's stomach.

"Sanggong, you said that if we make those handkerchiefs into fans, wouldn't it be better to sell them?" She asked Chaidong quietly.

Chai Dong raised his eyebrows. "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Isn't this the proprietress of the silk thread shop telling us that handkerchiefs are getting harder and harder to sell? Now my craftsmanship is better than before, and I do more work. Plus my mother, there are actually a lot of things. She bit this point and started to lower the price. If this goes on, sooner or later she will really lower the price! We can't give her this chance." Chun Zhi said softly, "And I want to do it, and it's hot now Now, the round fan should be more useful than the handkerchief purse. Moreover, at this time, the fan must be held in the hand all the time, but it is much better than the handkerchief to decorate the appearance. If I make it more beautiful, I will definitely do it again Someone came to buy it, what do you think?"

"You are a woman, if you think this idea can be given a try, then give it a try." Chai Dong said quietly.

With the matter of cat hair last time in front of him, he will no longer hinder her.Anyway, she has already made up her mind, and I'm afraid that even if he persuades her, she won't listen.

Chun Zhi laughed immediately. "You still understand me, Mr. Xiang, I just plan to give it a try! It's just..." She giggled again, "Mother, how do you think we can persuade her?"

That's the point of her discussion with him, right?

This woman also played tricks with him.

Chai Dong shook his head. "I see, I'll talk to my mother."

"Yeah, you are so kind, Mr. Chunzhi!" Chunzhi immediately gave him a big joke.

Chai Dong curled his lips, turned his head and went to sleep.

The next day, he went to talk to Mrs. Wang about it.I don't know what he said, anyway, although Wang was very reluctant, she let Chun Zhi try it.

"However, I have a condition. You can do up to five, and you can't let my son intervene. My son's hand is going to flip and write!"

"Understood!" Chun Zhi nodded quickly.

Originally, she really planned to ask Chai Dong to split the bamboo pieces, but since Mrs. Wang said so, she didn't have this delusional idea, and just asked someone to bring a message to her natal brother, asking him to help.

Of course Chunlei would answer her sister's call.

Two days later, he brought another pile of bamboo slices and helped Chunzhi make five beautiful round fans.Two of them are embroidered with cats, and three are just embroidered with ordinary flowers and plants.

When it was time to go to the town to hand over the handkerchiefs, Chun Zhi only took four of them with him.

Not surprisingly, as soon as they arrived, the proprietress began to complain to them that the current business is not easy to do. More and more women come to embroider handkerchiefs and purses to make money, and the goods they have are under pressure and cannot be sold. !What is inside and outside the words, but also want to lower the price.

Chunzhi didn't answer her words at all, and just took out the four dough fans.

When the proprietress saw it, her eyes immediately began to sparkle.

But immediately she put on a straight face, and discussed with Wang in a serious manner: "This thing is still fresh, and it should be able to sell a few! However, the fans of the ladies of the rich family are all made by themselves, and there is no need to make them outside. Roughly made things, other wealthy households who can afford these things should not have many. You put these four here first, and I will let my man try to sell them. A fan is the same as those handkerchiefs How about two pennies for flowers and plants, and four pennies for cats?"

Wang Shi immediately turned her head. "I don't care about this, you discuss it with her!" She pointed at Chun Zhi.

Chun Zhi hurriedly raised a smile. "This fan takes more work than a handkerchief, and we made the bamboo pieces ourselves! The money you gave is too little, at least three pennies for flowers and plants, and five pennies for cats. This is the lowest price , no bargaining."

The proprietress kept yelling for a long time that the things were not easy to sell, and she didn't have much money left, but Chunzhi insisted on killing the price.In the end, the proprietress obediently bought it according to her quotation.

As for those handkerchiefs and purses, she also accepted them at the original price.

But after she came out, Wang couldn't help poking Chun Zhi's forehead several times. "You stupid brain, why do you want an extra penny? If it were me, I would definitely ask for at least two extra pennies! Every time we give her something, she will sell it at double the price !"

"Isn't this just made, let's try the water first?" Chunzhi smiled dryly, "If it's really successful, we can weave our own cloth in the future, and we can make more money, and the cloth doesn't cost so much. Of course, this Everything about the bamboo was given by my younger brother, so I will give them the extra penny!"

"Give it, give it, am I the one who cares about money and money?" Mrs. Wang waved her hand angrily, "Just wait and see, next time we come over again, she will definitely urge you more Make a few of these! This fan is much better than a handkerchief!"

"Mother, are you complimenting me?" Chun Zhi blinked.

Wang Shi immediately put on a serious face and snorted heavily. "So what if I praise you? Didn't I teach you all your skills?"

Chunzhi suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, it's all mother. You taught me well. I will always remember your great kindness!" She said hastily,

Wang Shi snorted proudly again.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and now they come again, the boss lady's reaction is exactly as they expected!
Well, if this is the case, they won't be polite - they want to raise the price!
