Chapter 59

The bookmaker has been reading and writing for many years, and his body is not as strong as usual for manual labor. Although it is not particularly strenuous to hold these things at the moment, he has exhausted his strength and walks a little slowly.

Moreover, the appearance of carrying a bag on his back and holding a suitcase in his hand caused the surrounding people to be a little surprised, and couldn't help but stepped forward to ask, "Brother Kang, what are you doing, why did you buy so many suitcases?"

"That's right, don't you have a suitcase for everyday use, why do you have to spend money to buy it?"

"This suitcase is different. This one doesn't seep water. If you're rushing for an exam or something, you won't be afraid of getting wet when it rains. I found it rare and practical, so I bought one," Kang Yinian replied, "In the end, Li Brother and Brother Du wanted it too, so they took it back."

An impermeable suitcase?

That's really useful.

Not to mention, just how many winds and rains I have experienced along the way to rush for the exam. I am not afraid of the wind, meals and sleeping in the open. What I am afraid of is rainy days.

If it were a watertight bag, there would be no need for such troubles.

Hearing what Kang Yinian said, some people asked where they could buy this impermeable suitcase, and when they heard that it was at the entrance of Wende Academy, they went to look at it in twos and threes.

After a short time, Jiang Mixia, Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun brought Jiang Mixia, Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun at the gate of Wende Academy, and many scholars came.

After carefully looking at the workmanship of the bag, testing the waterproofness of the bag, and even trying the comfort of the bag, many people plan to buy it.

Anyway, a suitcase is a must-have thing for going out, so buy a waterproof one and get it right in one step.

What's more, the price of this suitcase is quite fair.

The suitcases Jiang Mixia and the others brought were quickly sold out.

As for those who didn't buy it but wanted to buy it, they paid a deposit with Jiang Mixia and agreed to deliver it in half a month.

After staying at the gate of Wende College for an hour, Jiang Mixia received [-] orders here.

As for those who want to order again, Jiang Mixia said that this time it is already full, and they can make another order when they come to deliver the goods next time.

On the way back, Song Jingyun gnawed on the black sesame cake with a smile all over his face.

What the lady said is really good, this black sesame cake is really delicious!
The chestnut cake is also delicious.

With a smile, Jiang Youcheng touched the new fabric pulled back from the cloth shop for Mrs. Liu, feeling very happy in his heart.

After arriving home, I told Mrs. Liu about the booming business today, Mrs. Liu was also very happy, and added another meat dish to dinner.

Stir-fried pork slices with green peppers, oh no, to be exact, fried sliced ​​meat with green peppers, only sliced ​​meat but no green peppers.

Jiang Youcheng asked Liu to fry an extra peanut, brought out a jug of wine, and prepared to have a drink with Song Jingyun.

This wine is sorghum wine. It has a mellow and strong taste and a full aftertaste. It is the same as the one I drank at Jiang Youfu's house last time.

To be honest, Song Jingyun thought the taste of this sorghum wine was good, and he wanted to drink it very much.

But the last time I got drunk, I insisted on taking off my clothes...

How embarrassing!
So hold back!

Song Jingyun just shook his head desperately, "I don't drink well, so I'd better stop drinking."

Remembering Song Jingyun's drunkenness at Da Fang's house last time, Jiang Youcheng didn't force himself, poured himself a bowl, and took small sips of it.

The whole family was very happy after receiving so many suitcase business. While eating, they discussed buying winter clothes and buying charcoal to keep warm in winter.

The price of charcoal is not cheap, and it will cost a lot in one winter, but Jiang Youcheng and Liu Shi also feel that they should not be so stingy, and the most important thing is to live comfortably. There is no ambiguity.

But as soon as we talked about spending money, we talked about making money.

Jiang Youcheng took a sip of his wine and sighed, "Speaking of which, in the county today, there are quite a few people who want to make up their suitcases. We really can't make up so many, otherwise we don't have to push it out in vain."

The push is all white money, just thinking about it makes me feel distressed!

"After all, our family is small, and we are too busy to work." Jiang Mixia said, "Father, do you think we should hire someone to do work at home?"

"If there are ingenuity among the people who come to do the work, we can teach them the skill of weaving baskets with pieces of bamboo strips, and let them follow us for a long time. If they can't learn but have strength, they can do some bamboo chopping and splitting. slice of life."

"In this way, we can make more things, and we won't see that we can't make money. And after we bring out the basket weavers, we don't have to be so tired."

"What did dad say?"

"It sounds good, but..."

Jiang Youcheng was full of hesitation, "But this basket weaving skill, if you teach others as you say, wouldn't it be good? Especially the weaving method of the watertight bamboo baskets and suitcases was invented by Jing Yun. It's a rare thing, if you teach it casually, won't it be leaked out?"

This kind of craftsmanship, no matter how you say it, is the capital to settle down, and it is an iron rice bowl that can eat a lot.

The fewer people know this skill, the more secure their jobs will be.

The more people know this skill, the more likely they will have nothing to eat.

The words of the disciples of the church who starved to death of the master were not casually said, otherwise Jiang Chunshi's master carpenter, Niu Er, would not have kept it hidden every day, wishing to cover up his craft as a report.

Jiang Mixia pursed her lips when she heard the words.

Jiang Youcheng's worry was reasonable and human.

The inheritance of craftsmanship has always been cautious and cautious, and it is also cautious and cautious for those who can take over the mantle, for fear that one more person will know.

This approach can indeed ensure that some craftsmanship will not be lost to outsiders, but it also greatly limits the scale of production. It is obviously not advisable for the effect she wants to achieve now.

Jiang Mixia said, "I understand Dad's worry, and it's necessary, but when we are looking for someone to do the work, we can look for people from our same village, and sign it in black and white, clearly stipulating that if we want to learn the craft again, we must do it in our home How many years of work is enough, and I can’t go to the side to do the same work and so on.”

"Otherwise, we will have to return all the previous wages and compensate us for our losses. If someone violates the law, we can take this document to the Yamen to sue. With the Yamen and the law, it is estimated that others will not dare to deliberately Something happened."

"I know that my father is also afraid that others will learn these skills. When the next generation comes, our family will lose our livelihood. But we hired people, weaved more things, and made more money. It didn't take long. Earning back the basket weaving money in this life can buy enough land property for the next generation, and the next generation can continue to carry forward the property, which is much better than just sticking to this basket weaving skill."

"Father, why don't you calculate this account and see which one is worth it?"

 There is another update, about three o'clock~ Ask for a monthly ticket~
