Chapter 336 Your Father Doesn’t Have That Much Money
"One hundred and twenty cents a knife? Boss Jiang wasn't wrong?" Gu Qingqing showed shock for the first time. Although she was shocked, the more shocked she was, the lower her voice became.
Although there is only one new book boy in the store at the moment.
It's no wonder she wasn't surprised. Last year when Wen Wuyan first started copying books, they also bought bamboo paper in the store. She remembered the price clearly that day. One piece cost one hundred and thirty coins.
When she came, she had some estimate of the price in her mind, thinking that ninety or one hundred cents per knife would be the best she could get.
Little did she know that Boss Jiang would show her what it meant to get better and better every day.
Who would do business just for a 10% profit?
"Oh, Madam Wen, do you have any opinion on this price?" Jiang Qingyan raised the corner of his mouth. He felt that his bid was not low.
Gu Qingqing knew that she had overreacted, so she straightened herself up and chuckled, "No, no, the price is very suitable for me. Should I deliver these papers to you all at once, or in batches?"
"As long as you make sure the paper at home is the same as the one you brought, you can send it all over. I can still put twenty pieces of paper here." Jiang Qingyan was wearing a light green gown, and his smile at this moment was like a spring breeze blowing through bamboo leaves.
If taking selfies of chest wasn't too indecent, Gu Qingqing would definitely give herself three times to show that she was reliable.
She couldn't pat her chest, so she finally said sincerely, "Don't worry, Boss Jiang, I've left the bad ones at home. If you find any damaged or defective goods in the goods you give to Boss Jiang, just come to me. My home is over there and you can't run away."
"Madam Wen, you are joking." Jiang Qingyan replied.
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Gu Qingqing followed.
Now that the paper business was settled, Gu Qingqing also asked Boss Jiang to keep her family's paper-making business a secret. At the same time, she didn't want to go back empty-handed. Business is a mutual thing, so she bought three new brushes and three ink sticks in the store, and then left Qingfeng Bookstore.
Gu Qingqing was so happy along the way. After a few busy days, she earned more than two taels of silver. It may not seem like much, but it was a good sign, making her even more confident in making paper.
If her paper business gets on track next year, wow, she can bring in more than ten taels of silver every month, which would be too good to be true for every household in their village.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing went to the grain store in town and bought two large bags of wheat bran and some brown rice, and then drove home.
However, before she reached the intersection on her way home, she saw a few people walking away from her home.
"Hey! Mom, are they coming to our house?" Dahua, who was sitting in the car, obviously also saw the situation on the path over there.
Gu Qingqing was a little confused and said uncertainly, "That should be the case. This road doesn't seem to lead anywhere except to our house."
Even if it leads to the end, it will only be the small hillside leading to her home, because the people from Niutoushan Village would not come to her hillside to dig weeds even if they wanted to.
Gu Qingqing saw the people over there, and those people naturally saw Gu Qingqing's donkey. They chatted and laughed and simply stopped to wait for her.
When Gu Qingqing got closer, she could see clearly who were there. In addition to Wu Shan and Li Yu, there were a few other elderly villagers from the west of the village. Gu Qingqing seldom interacted with them, and for a moment she couldn't figure out why they came.
"Whoa!" Gu Qingqing called out to stop the donkey, and everyone got off the car.
Several people called him uncle, aunt, or uncle according to their age. Gu Qingqing simply chose the easiest one. "They are all taking a walk. Do you want to go to my house and rest for a while?"
Even if she guessed that someone might be looking for her, she would not ask directly, "Are you looking for me?" Instead, she would pretend that she knew nothing. Otherwise, what if she asked, "Are you looking for me?"
In the end, they replied: We are here for a walk.
How embarrassing for her!
When Wu Shan saw Gu Qingqing, his old face almost turned into a walnut shell with a smile. He raised his hand and tapped Gu Qingqing and said, "Hey, what can we all say? The children have been studying at your house for no reason and have occupied your house. Now you are building a yard for them. That must cost a lot of money, right?"
Gu Qingqing showed a puzzled look in her eyes after hearing what Wu Shan said, and thought to herself, my house has been built for more than half a year, isn't it a bit late to ask for money now?
What did she do with the yard?
She complained in her heart, but the confusion on her face did not diminish. "Uncle Wu, what are you saying?"
Without Wu Shan saying anything, another aunt said happily, "Qingqing, we just took a look around and found that the desks are made of real materials. Why did you go out of your way to buy those things? They are really good and look sturdier than the dining table at home."
"Qingqing, you are doing these desks. Is it because the tuition for the children will increase next year?"
Everyone was talking at once, and Gu Qingqing frowned as she had no idea what they were talking about.
What bookcase? What salary? She hadn’t heard that Mr. Yang was going to raise the salary.
Li Yu saw Gu Qingqing's confusion, so he asked tentatively, "You don't know what happened in your family, do you?"
Gu Qingqing shook her head honestly, "I don't know, I just came back from town."
When she said this, everyone present looked at each other in surprise.
"Oh, then you should go home and take a look. There are a lot of brand new desks in your house, which are said to be for children to study. If they were not ordered by you, could it be that the people in the town sent them to the wrong place? If so, if so..."
Gu Qingqing finally understood this time. Someone had sent something to her house, but the key point was that she didn't buy the things the villagers mentioned.
"Well, I'll go back and take a look. You guys continue chatting." Gu Qingqing said, and made a "giggle" sound with her mouth, and the donkey cart headed towards home.
The remaining few people had nothing to do, so they all turned back and wanted to see what was going on.
Before Gu Qingqing reached the door of her house, Erhua followed Dahei's call and hurried out of the house. When she saw the donkey cart, she started shouting, "Mom, mom is finally back. Come in and take a look. There are a lot more things at home."
"Aunt, I'll watch over the donkey cart, you go home quickly." Li Xin also ran out of the house, but he was faster and took the reins from Gu Qingqing's hand.
"Here you go. You can't carry the things in the car. I'll ask someone to get them later." Gu Qingqing said to Li Xin hurriedly.
She didn't even have time to say hello to Old Yang and Meihua who had just come out of the house. She walked quickly into the yard. When she looked at the dozen or so brand new short desks with lattice feet and raised tops placed in the front yard, they were called short desks, but they were enough for the child to read and write on.
Dahua, who followed in, looked at the things in a daze. After a while, she asked, "Mom, where did these come from? Did we buy them?"
Gu Qingqing was also a little speechless, "I, I don't know either."
"Could it be that my father sold it and had it delivered to our house?" Dahua walked forward and raised her hand to touch the smooth desk, her eyes full of confusion and admiration.
This desk is so beautiful.
Gu Qingqing shook her head and said with certainty, "Your father doesn't have that much money."
