farmer's husband

Chapter 149 I Was Deceived From the Beginning

what?
Chun Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

"My husband, are you kidding me? As far as my handicraft is concerned, I can sell it for [-] yuan? The proprietress of the silk thread shop in the town is not willing to pay even [-] yuan! Her man chooses to sell it, but the asking price is only [-] yuan. It's just text."

"You didn't make the fan that her man asked for ten dollars." Chai Dong immediately corrected her.

Chunzhi was taken aback again.

Chai Dong chuckled. "Do you really think that their surname Kang is so generous that they are willing to spend so much money on a round fan made by an unknown person? They are neither crazy nor stupid! The only explanation is that your fan has already become a hot topic in the county town." , but because there are too few things, everyone wants it but can't get it. They also saw the clue from the fan you gave to Mrs. Chai. When you know, come over and let you customize one for them. In this way, they will greatly increase their face. For those people, face is much more important than money, let alone it is only bought with such a small amount of money. Such a big face?"

Only then did Chunzhi understand.But she still couldn't believe it: "Are my things really so popular?"

"You are good at what you do, and there is a word in this world called rare goods to live in." Chai Dong said in a low voice, "The fewer things, as long as the quality is decent, as long as they are promoted by caring people, their worth can be sold." Fry it out."

"But, how did they come up with the idea of ​​frying what I made?" Chun Zhi still didn't quite understand.

Chai Dong just smiled coldly. "I think we were duped by them in the first place."

"Gah?" Chunzhi seemed to be in the fog.

Every time Chai Dong put on such a profound expression, she knew that she would definitely not be able to catch up with his train of thought.Therefore, she stopped asking stupid questions, just plucked her ears and listened to his explanation honestly.

Immediately, Chai Dong slowly analyzed it for her: "Kang Lin also said just now that your embroidery skills are good, and you like cats in your heart, and you are full of joy when you embroider cats. Of course, the things that come out also have a bit of aura, which makes people like it when they look at them. Those rural women don't understand this truth, but how can those who are used to seeing good things since childhood can't see it? They have always been good things. of."

"So I guess, as early as last year when you started embroidering cat handkerchiefs, the proprietress of the silk thread shop had already thought about it. On the one hand, she took your things to the county to be sold at a high price, and on the other hand, she found someone to imitate them." Take your things to sell in the next village—— Chunlei has already proven this. In this way, they make money at both ends, and successfully deceived us, making us really think that your things are worth that little money!"

Oh my god!

Chun Zhi can be regarded as figured out.

"It turns out that the proprietress and the others have been cheating us for so long!"

Chai Dong nodded. "This couple is really smart. I have been fooled by them for so long."

As he spoke, his face became visibly gloomy.

Chunzhi saw it, and she suddenly wanted to laugh.

Her little husband is very smart, of course he understands it himself.Back in the county town and the provincial capital, he used his intelligence to help them solve many troubles. He must be very proud of his ability in his heart.But now, a cruel truth is revealed in front of his eyes, and he realizes that—while he is proud of his intelligence, he is being deceived by a group of people!What's more, that group of people is still a businessman that he doesn't think much of!
This fact must make him very sour, right?
In fact, Chun Zhi felt very sour.

her money!With so many handkerchiefs and four round fans, if they were sold at that price according to Kang Lin, she would have lost at least ten taels of silver!
She was so distressed that she wanted to cry.

Now she began to thank Mrs. Wang in her heart.Thanks to the mother-in-law who turned around and left in time, there was no chance for the proprietress to bargain.Otherwise, they don't know how much money they will be squeezed out by that couple!
"But..." But immediately, Chai Dong's deep voice sounded again slowly, "Fortune is where misfortune lies, and this is not a bad thing."

As soon as Chunzhi heard this, he became excited again. "Sir, what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is that although we have been deceived for so long, since we discovered it in time, it is not too late. If we break up with them now, we will do so for a long time." Chai Dong speak slowly.

"You mean, we can go to the silk thread shop over there in the county to cooperate?" Chun Zhi hurriedly asked.

"No." Chai Dong shook his head, "We don't need to look for them, they will take the initiative to find us."

As he spoke, he looked down at Chun Zhi again. "They have a good idea. There are rare goods to live in. You only need one fan a month, so you won't have to work so hard every month."

Chunzhi was filled with warmth when he looked at it, as if something was about to overflow.

"Sanggong, is the method you mentioned really feasible?" She admitted that she was timid, and she had never seen the big world.What Chai Dong said now moved her heart, but she didn't know whether things could develop in that direction.

"Whether it's feasible or not, just wait and see." Chai Dong responded indifferently, "Right now, apart from working in the fields, all you need to do is to do well the things that the Kang family's family members want. These things are enough for you to spend a while It's been two months. By then, there should be some movement over there."

At the end, a light flashed in his deep eyes.

Chun Zhi listened to what he said clearly and logically, and she nodded hastily. "You're right, a month or two is a long enough time."

Moreover, she could earn ten taels of silver in one or two months, which was a good thing she had never dreamed of!
She quickly took Chai Dong's hand again. "Speaking of which, my second attempt is actually not a failure, is it?"

"Well, it's not a failure. And to put it mildly, it's actually half the battle." Chai Dong nodded.

Chunzhi was even happier, she hurriedly pulled him back. "Then let's go back to the room quickly, and I'll think about what they want with me. I'll have an idea first, and I'll also think about how to make things."

Chai Dong nodded.

However, after he finished reading the request from above, Chun Zhi finally understood why Kang Lin gave her so much money.

"These ladies and ladies are really difficult to serve!" With a sullen face, she couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "One wants a white cat, but it must have a fluffy touch, so I have to get the white cat fur! But in our place, how many cats have white hair on their bodies? I can embroider the cat’s posture in a pattern that insists on cats and butterflies, but butterflies... I have to ask my mother for advice. It’s even more bizarre to have this, so I said it must be good-looking. But what kind of good-looking is she, I don’t know! God knows if the good-looking I made is the good-looking she wants?”

"It's okay, take your time and don't rush. If necessary, I will help you." Chai Dong said softly.

Chunzhi raised his head, his face still tightly wrinkled. "How can you help me?"

Chai Dong thought about it. "I'll help you draw a few more pictures. For example, the cat flutters the butterfly, I will draw the butterfly more clearly; there are also beautiful pictures, I will draw a few more pictures, you can screen carefully and choose the one you think looks the best One pair and then embroidered out, then it should be almost inseparable."

The method he said seems to work!
Chunzhi's eyes lit up, but immediately he looked over to Wang's house cautiously. "But if my mother finds out, she will definitely scold me for hooking up with you again, so that you won't be able to study at ease."

"It's okay, let's not let her know." Chai Dong said immediately, "Besides, I really like drawing."

"Well, Mr. Xianggong, your paintings are really good! When we went to the bookstore in the provincial capital, I saw some paintings of celebrities. I think yours are not much worse than theirs!" Chun Zhi nodded quickly .

This is her real feeling.Before that, Chai Dong just picked up a pen and sketched a few strokes on the paper casually, and those kittens, flowers and grasses jumped out of the paper, very lively.The portrait he secretly painted for her obviously put a lot of thought into it, and it looked even more like it. Chun Zhi remembered that she felt like she was looking in a mirror when she saw it for the first time!It's a pity that Chai Dong hid the portrait later, and she hasn't found it until now.

However, these things alone are enough to prove that he is a good painter.You know he has never been taught!

It's just that, with such a good ability, why does Wang not allow him to have a little contact with this aspect?Chunzhi could clearly feel that Mrs. Wang didn't like Chai Dong's paintings very much.

What's going on here?
Chun Zhi deeply felt that there must be something tricky here!
