Chapter 213
He was followed by the rest of the young and old in the village, also jokingly with envy, "Xiaomi is afraid that the third son will be looked down upon by the rich and noble people under the emperor's feet when he comes to Beijing, so he must dress the third son as a handsome young man, maybe he can get acquainted with you." Everyone is coming back to be a daughter-in-law."

"Oh, those ladies from all over the world don't deserve it."

The women hurriedly tried to dissuade them, "The youngest is really looking for a lady from a great family, but everyone will dare not come to the door in the future. The daughters of rich families are very well-behaved!"

Xiaomi secretly rejoiced that there were so many people and the house was noisy, so she persuaded her sister-in-law to go down the mountain and go back to Shengfuju to rest.Pregnant women are inherently sensitive, if they hear these words at this moment, they may be paranoid.

"I don't have much in mind, as long as my third brother likes it, I like sister-in-laws of whatever background. Not to mention, the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law in our village all support each other and live a prosperous life fire."

"Xiaomi is right. The two of you see each other and work together. This will be a good day."

Everyone was gossiping, but Lu San had already put his backpack on his back.

Although the bag contained a few books, plus pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a box of snacks, it weighed seven or eight catties, but the shoulder straps were wide enough to share the weight with both shoulders.So, he walked back and forth in the main room twice, not feeling tired at all, so he smiled and said, "My Xiaomi is smart, this backpack is really easy to use."

Xiaomi happily adjusted the length of the strap for his brother, making it more comfortable for him to carry on his back. Finally, after wandering around, seeing that there was really no big problem, he said, "Brother, tell me, such a backpack is not suitable for students in your school. Among them, or send it to the capital, five taels of silver a piece, will someone buy it."

Lu Laosan pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Xiaomi will definitely be sold. No one else will tell, but if Liu Buqi and Cheng Ziheng meet, they will definitely buy one to show off."

"Brother Liu and Brother Cheng, of course I have to send two over there. They can't use it until they buy it!

Xiaomi helped unload the backpack, and was wondering if he needed to improve it, when Aunt Liu pulled his arm, "Xiaomi, how much money is this backpack?"

"Five taels of silver!" Xiaomi thought that Aunt Liu disliked the low price, so she counted with her fingers, "The leather cost fifty renminbi, tanned, lined with thick brocade, and labor, plus one more 250 Wen. If you sell it for five taels of silver, that’s twenty times the profit, which is pretty good.”

"No, no, I mean expensive, too expensive!"

Aunt Liu carefully picked up the backpack and looked through it, grinning and said, "I can sew two of these backpacks a day, and they can sell for ten taels of silver. It's too expensive."

Xiaomi couldn't laugh or cry, "Auntie, you can't say that. The dolls we made before are more expensive than this backpack. Besides, leather and thick brocade are worthless, and the handwork is not cumbersome. But my creativity is precious, except I, and no one thought of using a leather backpack to pack books, did they?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, then nodded.In fact, the things Xiaomi tossed at the beginning, whether it was dolls, green house growing vegetables, or even vermicelli workshops, did not require advanced skills, and the materials were readily available, but no one thought of it.

As the old saying goes, no matter how thin the window paper is, it still needs that piercing finger.

And Xiaomi is that powerful finger, as fragile as a green onion, but always points in unexpected places, revealing a corner of the new world for everyone...

"Indeed, Xiaomi's idea is the most valuable!"

"That's right, cowhide is just fine. We usually see furs of various colors most of the time. No one thought of making small gadgets and flattering such packages."

Xiaomi meant to make a joke, but she felt a little shy when she was praised so much, so she quickly pulled back.

"Uncles and aunts, please don't rush to praise me. Speaking of fur, I will try to make some other beautiful packages and sell them to those wives and ladies of wealthy families. This cowhide backpack is still worth five taels of silver, those wolf skins, Fox fur, even bear fur, and mink fur are enough to sell for tens or hundreds of taels. At that time, we must dig out all the good furs at the bottom of the box and support me."

"Of course," everyone responded excitedly, "Don't worry, Xiaomi, everyone's saving furs is just in case there is a use for them. Now there is no shortage of money at home, and down jackets and trousers It’s light and soft, and no one has the patience to wear a leather jacket. You need it here, and I’ll bring it to you later.”

"Okay, the price of the fur is included in the cost, and I will let the sapphire be registered in a while."

Xiaomi was not polite at all, and finally called out to the girls who came to pay New Year's greetings with his mother, "Damei, girl, you will follow me to sew new packages from now on. The wages are only a lot more than those of dolls. In addition, Gui Sister Zhi, you need to embroider more of your logo, I'm afraid you will need to use a lot in the future."

"Okay, don't worry, I can't do anything else, I'm good at embroidery."

When Gui Zhi heard Xiaomi mentioning him alone, he felt that he was valued, and he smiled from ear to ear, and agreed with one mouthful.

It's just embroidering a strip of cloth. Although the embroidery is a bit more complicated, she can still drive out four or five in a day. Together, the wages are at least a few hundred cash, which is more generous than the wages of manual labor.

Damei and the other girls also blushed with joy. Their dowry money was prepared at home, but no one would bite their hands if they had too much money.Being able to participate in Xiaomi's business without being bored at home is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

On the contrary, the men felt very strange in their hearts.Originally, the mother-in-law of the family was busy behind Xiaomi, and often earned more wages than these men.In the future, if this super-profitable package business starts again, they will definitely have their tails up again.

It is said that a man is the pillar of the family, but now it seems that this pillar is going to give way to a woman...

Of course, this is just a temporary hypocritical idea.People only consider the problem of face after they have a full stomach.This is enough to show that Lao Xiongling now has enough food and clothing, so he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.

The crowd chatted and laughed for more than half an hour, and seeing that lunch was about to be made, they all dispersed.

Xu Shi has quietly felt the breath of spring, and the sun in the sky seems to have warmed up a little.Anticipating that Shirayuki, who could not escape the fate of melting in the end, was shining desperately in the sun.The birds in the forest are the smartest, knowing that no one will touch them in such a time, so they boldly fall into a certain yard.

Sure enough, what greeted them was not nets and slingshots, but a handful of millet.

New Year, the festival of all things, is the best starting point to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

The best clothes on the body, the most sumptuous meals on the dinner table, and the reunion of married people beside him, what could be happier than this.

According to the rules passed down from the ancestors, the water can only be released every three, six and nine in the first month, that is, laundry.Families with a large population, such as the Lu family, have accumulated a large pot of clothes by this day.

Xiaomi hurt his hand and couldn't help, so he stayed in the room to draw drawings.

In the previous life, among almost all women, there were very few who did not like all kinds of bags.Slanted, hand-carried, single-shoulder, double-shoulder, hand-held, and even wheeled to run around.There are all kinds of things, and women often buy a "offer" even if they save money.

When you are upset, just buy a bag.

When you are tired from work, buying a bag will immediately boost your fighting spirit.

In short, "bao" cures all diseases.

But in this time and space, no matter how noble and wealthy a woman goes out, she will just ask the little maid to carry a brocade package, which is soft and slippery, and will be scattered if she is not careful.

If you put those beautiful and exquisite bags in front of you, it is estimated that no woman will be able to resist the temptation.

Xiaomi drew one after another, and almost all the drawings in front of him were bank notes.

Feng Niang, who was helping to grind the ink, couldn't help laughing when she saw her eyes shining, and turned her head to signal her master to look over.

Mrs. Tie is helping to organize the furs sent by the villagers. It has to be said that money opens the way and is related to new business.Every household really took out the good things at the bottom of the box, even the ones given to the old dean before were not as good as those sent today.

Hearing Feng Niang's reminder in a low voice, Mrs. Tie glanced at Xiaomi with a smile, both helpless and funny.

Good girl, why do you like money so much?It's fine to be born in Lu's family, but if he was reborn in a merchant's family, he would be rich beyond compare in two years.

Xiaomi didn't know how high she was being lifted, if she knew, she would be panicked.She just relied on the insights from her previous life to always have novel ideas.In terms of ability alone, there are many shortcomings.

"Xiaomi, what are your plans? This year... Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Mrs. Tie put away the Firefox fur in her hand, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, put down the tea bowl and saw Xiaomi's eyes shining, so she said with a smile, "I'm just saying casually, if you can walk away, I'd rather Take you around."

"Of course I would!"

Xiaomi's first thought was to go to Kyoto, which was something she had been thinking about for a long time.But when she thought of her stubborn father, she fainted again.

"It's just that my father won't agree, otherwise I would have gone out to have a look. My father will be annoyed even if he goes to the city, let alone going far away."

Mrs. Tie didn't think much about it, after all, the reputation of the girl's family was important, and Father Lu was born as a scholar, with a staid temper, so he should discipline his daughter more strictly.

"Just wait and see, it's not too late to discuss after the family is busy."

Xiaomi also nodded. In a few days, Lu Qian will return to the academy, and then go to the capital for the big exam with the old dean, and then go back to the grassland on the first day of junior high school...

Thinking of these millets, her complexion became even darker. Although she said that there is no permanent banquet in the world, she still couldn't bear it.If my third brother passes the exam, it will be rare for him to go home once in the future.As for the first day of junior high school, let alone, it is hard to say whether there will be a day to meet each other in this life.

As a result, the Lu family's lunch table was filled to the brim again in accordance with New Year's standards.
