Chapter 6: Who is the third master?
Chapter 6 Who is the third master?
Mother Jiang and Cherry are obsessed with making sauce pancakes like they have been injected with chicken blood, oh no, they are obsessed with making money.
If it wasn't for Yu Zhi to stop them, they would have gone out to set up a stall sooner or later. Jiang's mother also said, "Girl, don't look at this old slave, but I have plenty of strength, and I am not tired at all."
Not active in making money, brain problems.
Cherry quickly followed, "Girl, the slaves are not tired."
How can you get tired of making money?
Yu Zhi's mouth is slightly raised, proud!
Look, she just said, how can anyone not like silver? How wonderful the tinkling of copper plates! Yu Zhi listened to it all day without getting bored.
She is such a vulgar woman!
However, for the sake of sustainable development, Yu Zhi rejected Mama Jiang's request. It is enough to set up a stall in the morning and noon, and forget it in the evening.
I said I wasn’t tired, but how could I not be tired if I had to meet so many people every day?
Mother Jiang is not young, and Cherry is still growing. Even if she is fine for a short time, she will definitely suffer from fatigue after a long time.
Besides, her family's sauce pancakes are selling well, so there must be a way for other food sellers to survive, otherwise they will be hated.
After selling the sauce-flavored biscuits for ten days, the business has stabilized, and I can earn at least half a tael a day. If you come across a big customer to make a decision, you can earn two or three taels. Of course, there are not many such opportunities, so far I have encountered it once.
In addition to selling sauce-flavored cakes, Mama Jiang and Cherry have another business, which is making velvet flowers.
It was Yu Zhi who made a camellia hairpin out of rags on a whim, and Cherry saw it and said it looked good, and wanted to learn from it.
Yu Zhi became interested and taught her several styles, and even drew her a bunch of flowers.
I didn’t expect cherry needlework to be bad. It’s quite skillful to make velvet flowers. I made three or four flowers in one night. Some are gorgeous, some are elegant, and they are all lifelike.
Yu Zhi praised, "It looks better than the ones sold in embroidery workshops."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Mother Jiang and Cherry, who are top earners, actually went to the embroidery workshop to ask, and a few velvet flowers were sold at a high price of five cents each.
All velvet flowers are made of rags, and they don’t cost much at all. You can buy a large bag at a clothing store for ten or twenty renminbi, which is enough to make dozens or even hundreds of flowers.
First I made velvet flowers, and later I made flower hairpins. A wooden hairpin bought for a few pennies, wrapped with flowers to make a shape, immediately doubled its value several times. There are also those with beads, which can be sold for hundreds of pennies each.
Youyuzhi provides patterns and technical support. Whether it is velvet flowers or flower hairpins, they are all novel in style, full and three-dimensional and unique in pattern, and are especially popular. They are often sold out as soon as they are delivered to the embroidery workshop.
New businessman Yu Zhi still pays dividends to Mama Jiang and Cherry, still sharing 20% of the net profit equally.
Mother Jiang and Cherry are very busy. Apart from making sauce cakes and selling sauce cakes every day, all the free time is used to make velvet flowers and flower hairpins.
The changes between the two are also obvious. Their eyes are brighter, their backs are straighter, and they walk with wind. Jiang's mother no longer whispered in Yu Zhi's ear about looking for the third master, the third master? Who is the third master? Can I sell it for silver?
Cherry no longer needs to hold down the rest of the branch to read characters, and the mouth of the burning fire is chanting the nine-nine multiplication table. The progress is so fast!
Silver is really a good thing, no one can resist its charm.
As Jiang's mother and Cherry's private money increased, Yu Zhi's childhood became better and better, and his food and clothing were upgraded to a higher level. Even though Mama Jiang and Cherry were busy making money, they didn't delay in serving her at all. Mama Jiang prepared delicious food for her in different ways every day, and prepared snacks and brought them to her.
Cherry cut the fruit into small pieces and put them on bamboo sticks, wishing to feed them into her mouth.
What about Yu Zhi? Every day I sleep until I wake up naturally, besides eating, I just lie on the soft couch and read a book. Get up and walk around when you are tired of watching, and water the flowers.
The small garden has been built, and the transplanted flowers have not yet bloomed. A row of climbing vines are planted in front of the wall, and they are trying to stretch their branches to climb the wall.
Yu Zhi raised his arms, while doing stretching movements, while calculating the money in hand.
Still too little, not enough for her to buy medicinal materials.
But it doesn't matter, she already thought of a way.
Yu Zhi found out when he was buying scripts at the bookstore that the literati in the Daqing Dynasty loved painting very much. Not to mention the authentic works of famous artists, well-made fakes can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.
She saw with her own eyes that a fake was sold for a high price of 500 taels of silver. The buyer was a merchant with the aura of a wealthy upstart.
Because she was surprised by the five hundred taels of silver, Yu Zhi looked at it very carefully. She could also imitate that painting, and guaranteed that the imitation would not be worse than the fake one. Although she is not an art student, she learned painting at the age of five and has been painting for twenty years, so her skills are quite solid.
Just do it, Yu Zhi locked himself in the room for a whole day, and went out the next day with the painting. This painting fully bought Yu Zhi six hundred taels of silver.
The reason why it was sold at such a high price is also a coincidence. He met the upstart from last time. He was about to find a famous imitation painting to give to his uncle, and he immediately fell in love with the one in Yu Zhi's hand. Bought it at a high price.
As for the fact that it is not authentic, alas, they are not scholars, so they don’t care if it is authentic or not. Aren’t they all the same paintings? Just watch it!
Besides, how much money does the real work cost? Wouldn't it be more delicious to use land to open a shop?
When the silver ticket was brought back, Mother Jiang and Cherry were shocked.
"Girl, is this a replacement for that painting?" Cherry looked at Yu Zhi with enthusiasm.
Six hundred taels! She has to save for decades without eating or drinking, and the girl earns back just by painting a painting, my God! God! The girl is the God of Wealth!
Mother Jiang recited Amitabha Buddha happily after being shocked, and even had this idea in her heart: If a girl is so capable, even if she can't get into the Hou's mansion in the end, she can still marry a good family.
Yu Zhi didn't care what they thought, and wrote Zhang Fangzi to ask Mother Jiang to buy medicinal materials.
The money that hadn't been warmed up was spent like running water. Mother Jiang felt distressed, but when she thought that it was for the girl to recuperate her body, she didn't feel distressed anymore.
The girl can write and draw, and she has a secret recipe for making money. If she earns one six hundred taels, she can earn more six hundred taels.
Ah, such a good girl, if her family had not come down, how could she have come down to this point?
is also pitiful!
After soaking in the medicated bath, Yu Zhi felt much more relaxed, and every pore felt smooth. When practicing the sword, the movements are no longer stagnant as before, and there is a faint heat flow in the dantian, which can actually gather energy.
Twirling and leaping, Yu Zhi in the small courtyard almost merged with the night. With a thought, she reached the roof and landed silently.
Facing the evening breeze, Yu Zhi felt at ease.
At this point, she was really relieved in another world.
Well, from tomorrow on, she can lie down and enjoy a good life with peace of mind.
