Chapter 204 Buy undyed cotton and satin
Leopard, Ergouzi, and the other three older boys caught fish in the basket. Sister Maoer and the other two older girls were cooking and washing clothes, and they were also busy.
Liu Pan'er rewarded each of them with one hundred pence, and the rest of the younger ones were responsible for catching insects to feed the chickens, digging for earthworms, and some picking up cow dung from the road and returning it to the composting pond on their own farm.
Anyway, there is no idler, and they are very diligent in their work. Give each of these children a reward of fifty cents.
It coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone is very happy with the reward money and delicious mooncakes.
Li Rong and Li Fang, they were saving money to wait until the end of the year. Their mother said that they could take them to the county town so that they could use the money they saved to buy things they like.
Mrs. Liu saved money to prepare a decent dowry for her daughter.
Sister Mao'er put a hundred coins in front of Brother Leopard, "Brother Leopard, leave this money with you!"
Not only Sister Mao'er, but others also put reward money in front of Brother Leopard.
In the past, it was Brother Leopard who tried his best to get them food, so they didn't starve to death. Now that they are settled and have money, they repay Brother Leopard.
Leopard shook his head and refused, "This is what Madam has given to everyone. You can take it yourself and buy whatever you want. You don't need to put it here with me."
Sister Mao'er shook her head and looked at Brother Leopard with trust, "Brother Leopard, we don't have to spend money on food and accommodation. Madam gives us clothes for free. I don't have anything to buy. They are young, how can they get money in their hands?"
When the seller came, they all bought candies and ate them."
Brother Leopard thought for a while and felt that what his sister said was to save money, "Okay, my wife and I learned how to read. I will write down everyone's money and give it to them when they grow up."
After saying that, Brother Leopard took out a few pieces of paper, then took out a charcoal pen, and wrote one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety, and then how much.
The name is too complicated, and Leopard can't write it yet, so I just sort it by age. He is the oldest, so he is number one, and the second dog is number two, so we can deduce it from this.
Seeing that they were successful, Liu Paner did not interfere.
Li Dabao was chopping firewood, splitting the pine wood into pieces, about the length of a palm and the thickness of two fingers. Li Fang prepared the red dye, which is the kind of red dye used to dye eggs red after giving birth.
The pine wood blocks were rolled in paint water and placed in the sun to dry. After drying, hollow pine wood towers were built in the middle of the yard.
Li Li cut two bunches of red and purple grapes from the grape trellis and put them on the plate. She also picked four large pineapples and put them on the plate, one on the bottom and one on the top. Four large pomegranates were placed on another plate.
It's also arranged like this.
The large square table was carried to the middle of the yard, not far from the pine tower. On the table were placed a plate of grapes, a plate of pears, a plate of pomegranates, and the most important plate of moon cakes.
The sun sets and the moon is round and hanging in the sky.
The bright moonlight shines on the ground, hazy.
Liu Pan'er lit the fire, and the pine tower gradually burned, and the fire became brighter and brighter.
Mrs. Liu led everyone to kneel on the ground, kowtow towards the pinewood pagoda, and worship the moon.
Liu Pan'er could not stand alone, so she had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow, praying together for good weather, good harvests, all wishes come true, and everything goes well.
Families who can get together and cherish the time together.
Family members who cannot be together also take advantage of the full moon night to place their thoughts on the moon in the sky and bring their thoughts to family and friends far away.
Liu Pan'er stared at the moon, thinking about the only man she had ever loved.
No matter in heaven or on earth, I hope he can be happy and joyful.
Children like Li Dabao want their father in the northwest to be safe and sound, so they can receive letters and reply to them as soon as possible!
Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts. After the fire in the pine tower gradually became smaller and extinguished, everyone became more active.
Eating moon cakes and fruits, I was quite happy.
The children held hands and circled around the unburnt fire of the pine tower, singing and dancing.
Liu Paner sat with her sister-in-law and discussed in a low voice the family plans after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the future, she will be very busy and unable to do anything else, so she will have to rely on her sister-in-law for everything at home.
Mrs. Liu listened patiently, and now that she had two hundred taels of silver in her hand, she expected to build a shop.
Ms. Liu didn't expect that Liu Pan'er wanted to do the fabric business, and was quite surprised, "Brother and sister, why do you think of starting a dyeing workshop?"
Liu Pan'er smiled and said: "I have been very interested in these paints recently and want to buy them and try to make some paints myself. If the dyeing is successful, we can open a workshop and make long-term income. If the dyeing is not successful, these
It’s not in vain. There are so many children in the family, and there are many places where cloth is needed inside and outside. I can make clothes for everyone.”
When Ms. Liu heard what Liu Pan'er said, she didn't stop her, "Since you want to do it, then you can try it. Anyway, you are smart and have good luck, so you might be able to do it successfully. This ordinary fabric can be dyed
After coloring, the price can be doubled immediately. The price difference is very considerable. However, it is also difficult. Some fabrics are dyed and fall off after a few washes, which is not worth the money. The dyeing will not fall off for a long time.
, the price can be higher.”
Liu Pan'er agreed, "I just saw the price difference, so I wanted to try it!"
The two sisters discussed and reached an agreement, then let it go and started working.
The shops in the town are being built in full swing. As long as the raw materials are in place, they can be built very quickly.
Liu Pan'er brought Bao Zi and Li Dabao over to check every day, and asked Bao Zi to follow up on the construction of houses here.
There are many people building houses in the village, and several families help each other, so the manpower is enough.
Originally, I wanted to build a good house, because there were shops, so everyone just had to build enough to live in.
After the shop is built, next year we will build the wing rooms on both sides of the yard.
With a dedicated person following him, Liu Pan'er would have time to go to the county seat.
Liu Pan'er did not rush to the delicious restaurant, but went to the cloth store and bought a cart of undyed cotton and a few pieces of undyed satin. After careful inspection, she paid half of the money and delivered it to her home.
Pay the other half.
Since he had to do it, Liu Pan'er would not delay and settle the matter as soon as possible.
Shopkeeper Li from the delicious restaurant has long been looking forward to Liu Pan'er's arrival, hoping that Liu Pan'er will assist the guys at the delicious restaurant to make the oven as soon as possible.
"Mrs. Derui, you are finally here!" Shopkeeper Li smiled happily and welcomed Liu Pan'er into the delicious building.
Liu Pan'er smiled and asked, "Shopkeeper Li, are everything ready?"
Shopkeeper Li replied: "It was ready two days ago and is waiting for you to come!"
Liu Pan'er followed shopkeeper Li to the kitchen in the backyard of the delicious building and ordered people to make the oven.
Since Meishilou does business every day, his oven should be larger.
Under Liu Pan'er's guidance, it took more than an hour to finish the oven, which could be put to use after seven or eight days of drying in the shade.
