Chapter 323: Making work clothes for the employees of the medicinal materials workshop
A clear voice sounded, and for some reason Ding Jiajia felt extremely relieved when she heard this voice.
Fan Erzhu turned around suddenly and saw his second aunt walking step by step.
She was also holding a velvet flower in her hand, which was plush and tender. I don’t know how much better it was than the silk flower in his hand!
His silk flowers were sixteen cents, while the velvet flowers were basically fifty or sixty cents. He looked down on the cloth flowers Ding Jiajia wore, and now it is common for others to look down on his silk flowers.
He looked at his mother and grandma at the back of the crowd, and secretly blamed them. If they hadn't been reluctant to part with money, wouldn't he have been outcompeted when he bought the velvet flowers?
Fan’s mother at the back of the crowd had a face full of blame.
This daughter-in-law always ruins her good deeds and blocks her good marriage with golden grandchildren!
A girl from someone else's family is not at a disadvantage if she becomes her niece-in-law. I really can't tell what kind of sabotage she has in mind.
Well, if Hu Shuiqing dares to ruin this marriage, she won't let her live a peaceful life...
Shui Qing saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and she didn't have to think hard to figure out what these two people were planning. Naturally, she also saw the vicious resentment on her mother-in-law's face, but it didn't matter. Anyway, after being her daughter-in-law, she didn't have a good word to say. More or less resentment will not be taken seriously at all.
She walked towards Ding Jiajia and said with a smile: "I asked my brother to bring this back from Fucheng. His child doesn't know how to choose colors. It doesn't look good on me, but you little girls can wear it no matter how delicate the color is, so just bring it over." I gave it to you, do you like it?
If you like it, just accept it. If you don't like it, it's okay. When giving a gift, it all depends on the recipient's willingness. "
The last sentence secretly mocked Fan Erzhu.
Fan Erzhu's expression was extremely ugly.
He thought Ding Jiajia was not suitable for wearing sky blue, saying that only pink was suitable for girls, but the second aunt said that it was inappropriate for him to wear delicate colors, and that only young girls were suitable.
He belittled Ding Jiajia, but the second aunt put herself down. It was obvious who was superior and who was inferior.
He gave the gift so that Ding Jiajia must accept it, but the second aunt's words made the villagers notice that Ding Jiajia must like it, and the second aunt's gift obviously suppressed his!
"Shui Qing is right. I said if Jiajia, Erzhu, doesn't like you, don't give it to her. Maybe she doesn't like silk flowers?"
"It's not necessarily because I don't like silk flowers. It mainly depends on who sent them! You can't keep these things indiscriminately."
"I don't know if they were collected randomly or not, but if it were me, who would want silk flowers when there are velvet flowers?"
.....
Zhang Chunhua in the crowd looked at Ronghua with envy and swallowed hard.
Those three fluffy flowers side by side are so beautiful.
In one fell swoop, the silk flower on Fan Erzhu’s hand was compared to that of the other! No wonder people often say that you get what you pay for, and the price of this product is indeed good.
She looked at the silk flower in Fan Erzhu's hand again, with a hint of disgust in her eyes, as if it was the next best option.
Fan Erzhu didn't even look at Zhang Chunhua in the crowd. He gritted his teeth and glared at his second aunt fiercely, turned around and left.
Oh, Ding Jiajia doesn’t want to forget it. There are many girls of the same age as her in the village. They can also give Aunt Li’s daughter Li Tiantian and the Xu family’s eldest daughter Xu Ting... she thought with some distress. If you want to give them as gifts, you can just buy cloth flowers, which only cost nine cents, so you can save a lot.
Anyway, she is just a village girl. She has never seen much of the world. She will probably jump three feet high after receiving the cloth flowers. She is so happy that she doesn’t know what to do.
Li Tiantian and Xu Ting actually jumped three feet high after receiving the flower. She was so happy that she rubbed it and looked at it over and over again, and tried it on her hair again and again.
But this joy comes from the fact that they bought something they like, and the most important thing is that they bought it with their own earned money!
It's not a gift from others, it's not like asking parents for it, it's actually something they earned their own money to buy.
Sixty coins a month belong to them, they don't have to ask anyone's opinion, sixty coins can be used at their own disposal, the first flower that they thought was out of reach in the past, they actually bought it today, and they even feel that it is not as expensive as they imagined.
After all, sixty cents can buy six bottles at once and there is still some leftover!
They also heard about Fan Erzhu's gift of silk flowers to Jiajia, and they understood that Jiajia didn't like them!
Not to mention that Jiajia doesn't like it, they don't like it either. They can also make money to buy flowers and wear them by themselves, so why accept gifts from people they don't like.
Shui Qing successfully delivered the velvet flowers, and also helped Jiajia deal with the evil peach blossoms, and returned to the house in a happy mood.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Fan Jin looking over with dark eyes, and then a low and gentle voice came: "Shui Qing, this is the money earned from selling medicinal materials, you can count it."
The white money in the cloth bag was exposed, and Shui Qing felt that she was in a better mood. She didn't order it, but asked directly: "How much is the total?"
"Nine hundred and fifteen taels." After Fan Jin finished speaking, he detailed how much he earned from each medicinal material.
Finally added: "Uncle Ding said that the tangerine peel is too short to be sold at a high price. If we are not in a hurry to use the money, we can sell a small part of the later ones and store the majority. When the world gets better, the price will rise even higher."
Uncle Ding said that he would not sell it at all, but he could just keep it all, but the risk would be higher.
After all, if it is not stored properly, it will be lost.
Shui Qing pondered for a while, then raised his eyes and asked, "I think we are not short of money. The tangerine peel has no cost other than some labor, so I might as well store it all. Anyway, the other two medicinal materials are more than enough to live on."
The world will be in chaos for a few more years. When it stabilizes in a few years, the economy will be much better. After prosperity and wealth, people will be more willing to spend money on this.
Fan Jin smiled slightly and nodded softly.
Shui Qing was calculating the income and expenditure of the herbal medicine shop in his heart.
The income for more than a month is more than 900 taels of silver. In the first month, everyone was a novice and the efficiency was not very high. If it stabilizes later, the monthly income can be maintained at least between 800 and 1,000. The wages of the workers in the herbal medicine shop are 21 taels of silver per month, including a meal at noon, and the cost of food is about 2 taels of silver per month.
In addition, there is the silver for buying bricks and tiles when building the herbal medicine shop. The wages are paid as labor compensation, and no silver is spent. Bricks, tiles, lime, rough bricks, and blue slates cost a total of 40 to 50 taels of silver, which is nothing compared to more than 900 taels. Moreover, this is a one-time investment, and there is no such cost in the following months.
The first batch of herbal medicine sold 915 taels, which is a good start. Shui Qing is very satisfied with this income.
The business is profitable, and the employees have worked hard, so of course we have to reward them. But rewarding employees is not just a thank you, but something real.
"The weather is getting colder, how about making winter clothes for the people in the herbal medicine shop? Cotton clothes, fill cotton between the two layers of cotton cloth, make two sets for easy changing and washing."
