Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 201: Little Doll's Dividend

During the dog days of summer, it is so hot that people have no appetite for food.

Ji Wenhe pushed the bowl in front of Shen Rongshan: "I can't eat it, you eat it."

She wants to eat watermelon, have cold drinks, and use air conditioning.

"Wen He, eat something, or you'll be hungry at night."

"I really can't eat. It's too hot. I'm sweating just sitting there." He propped up his cheek with his arm, "You eat."

She has a better appetite in the morning, probably because it is cooler in the morning.

I didn’t have much of an appetite at noon, so I went to the vegetable garden to pick a cucumber, which was my lunch.

Sometimes I eat half a bowl at night, sometimes I eat a cucumber.

Shen Rongshan looked at her with pity, and couldn't think of any good solution.

Ji Wenhe patted his arm and consoled him, "I'm not hungry at all. Please eat quickly. I'll pick two cucumbers and put them in the house for you to eat when you're hungry."

"Tomorrow is the last day of this month. I'm going to town to stock up on supplies and buy another half pound of vinegar and soy sauce."

I still have to go to Jinxiufang. I don’t know how much money I can get this month.

After dinner, Shen Rongshan went to the vegetable garden to pick two cucumbers, washed them and put them in a basin.

"Wen He, I'll put it on the table and eat it when you're hungry."

Ji Wenhe was counting money: "Okay."

After he went out and came back in, he asked, "There are several dozen kilograms of noodles left to sell, and we need to buy another 1,000 kilograms. Do you want to buy the rest?"

She put the counted money into her purse.

"Same as before, buy a pound of coarse salt." He sat down beside the bed. "I don't like meat. Oh, you want to buy ribs, don't you?"

"I want to buy some spare ribs to stew with corn. The corn is ready to eat. I'll go ask how much the spare ribs cost per pound tomorrow."

"Pork ribs are more expensive than fatty pork, and shanks are cheaper, and there's not much meat on them, just big bones."

"Shouldn't bones be more expensive than meat? They are nutritious when stewed in soup."

Shen Rongshan took off his coat and said slowly, "Rich people use chicken and duck to make soup, and rarely buy shanks, which waste too much firewood."

"People in the town have to buy firewood for burning, unlike us, who can just go into the mountains and chop it, so we don't care how much firewood we burn."

"In the restaurants in town, chickens, ducks and geese are used in soups. Some pork stalls cannot sell all the pork shanks, so they take them home and feed them to the dogs at home."

"The villagers don't like to buy pork shanks because there is no meat on them. They would lose money if they bought them. It's better to buy fatty pork because they can make oil from it and eat the fat residue."

Rich families would occasionally buy pork ribs, but most still preferred to use chicken and duck to make soup, as firewood was not easy to burn.

Ji Wenhe lay on his back on the bed: "Now that you mention it, it's really not worthwhile to buy bone marrow. Let's go to the town tomorrow to have a look."

"I don't eat it many times a year, so I buy a pound and cook it in soup to nourish myself."

Shen Rongshan responded: "Well, go to sleep and get up early tomorrow."

Early the next morning.

Ji Wenhe noticed that the people around him had stood up, opened his eyes, and asked sleepily, "It's dawn."

"Sleep a little longer, I'll call you when I'm done cooking."

She yawned and sat up: "No need to sleep."

I stretched comfortably, it was cool in the morning.

Shen Rongshan put on his clothes and opened the door. A cool breeze blew in: "Wen He, I'm going to cook. You pack the things you are going to take with you."

"it is good."

More than 400 puppets were made from the fabric given by Yang Yun, some big and some small, with more small ones than big ones.

The smallest length and width are twenty centimeters.

She mentioned last time that her family members can also embroider dolls, and she wondered how many they could make.

Since the style was revealed, no one asked her about the limited edition doll for the holiday.

This time I go, I have to talk to her about the Chinese Valentine's Day.

"Yuanshan, you look after the shop, we are leaving now."

Shen Yuanshan waved his hand: "I understand, sister-in-law, you guys go quickly."

The four of them got on the ox cart and slowly left the village.

Lan Qiuhua brought clothes and wild vegetable cakes she had baked in the morning to them, and took the dirty clothes back to wash.

"Wenshan, when we get to town, you accompany your aunt for a walk."

"Hey, I'll go to Jinxiufang with you then and help my sister-in-law get her things."

"to make."

Ji Wenhe looked at the scenery in the distance and said, "Aunt Lan, Uncle Shen and An Guo have been gone for more than a month."

"Of course, talk to them and let them go home and rest for a few days. Your Uncle Shen is old."

"How old is Uncle Shen this year?"

"Thirty-five."

"Thirty-five is not too old. It's the prime of life. As we say in my hometown, a man is in his prime at forty-one."

Lan Qiuhua joked: "It's more like a blade of grass. If it were a flower, it would be a flower stuck in cow dung."

Ji Wenhe laughed cheerfully: "Aunt Lan, what are you then?"

She finally realized what he meant, hit her arm lightly, and laughed, "You've fooled me."

After chatting and laughing for a while, someone came to get a ride.

When they arrived in town, Shen Rongshan first sent her to Jinxiufang, and then took the empty basket to Zhou's Rice Shop.

As soon as Ji Wenhe walked into the shop, Yang Yun immediately came up to her, asked the shop assistant to help, and then he grabbed her wrist and went to the backyard.

"Boss Yang, what's wrong? What happened?"

When they got to the bedroom in the backyard, he motioned for her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea: "It's nothing serious, I just want to discuss something with you."

"Boss Yang, please tell me."

"The shop is selling hanging dolls. I thought about it carefully and decided to split it 20-80. I'll take 80 and you take 20."

Ji Wenhe was a little confused about what she was doing: "Boss Yang, even if you don't make the hanging puppet, others will copy it."

"Besides, the one I'm working with is a big puppet. To be honest, when you said you wanted to make a small hanging puppet, I didn't think about sharing profits with you."

Even if it was mentioned, she might not be willing to share the dividends with her.

Because the patterns are already out, they can make them in various forms and embroider them on purses, handkerchiefs, or clothes.

She also has no ownership rights, and she doesn't think that she will get dividends if others do the work, or she will take the initiative to negotiate with the other party about dividends.

"I'm more curious about why you suddenly wanted to talk to me about the profits of the doll."

Yang Yun glanced at her, picked up the cup and put it down again: "Forget it, I won't beat around the bush with you, just tell me straight."

"I heard from the embroiderers in the shops that several shop owners asked them where the patterns came from and who told them."

"They want to pay a high price to poach you, and I'm trying to keep you. We've been working well together lately, don't you think?"

The emotion is because of this.

Ji Wenhe lowered his head and thought for a while. Although the dividend from the little doll was only 20%, if it sold well, it would also be a considerable income.

He raised his head and saw a hint of nervousness in her eyes, and said with a smile.

"Boss Yang, I told you before that since I chose to do business with you, I will never go to other people's homes easily again."

"Besides, Boss Yang and I get along very well. Although I might make more money if I go to another store, I care more about the feeling of getting along with the other person before deciding whether to do the business."

Or to put it another way, it depends on what kind of person the other person is.

She is a very nice person.
