Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 110: You can help, but you can’t help everyone

Lianhua knew that He Jiuniang had given her full responsibility for this matter, and she suddenly felt excited.

I didn’t expect that I would be trusted by my family for the first time when I talked about business. It feels really good!
After Lianhua put away the drawings, Yu went to open the door and called the men in to continue discussing other matters.

Mrs. Sun was the first to speak: "If this thing can be done, our family will have more women to help make clothes. This list is huge, not to mention there are other orders, whether they are women who make clothes or those who are responsible for embroidery. We need to increase the number of embroiderers, otherwise this business will be totally unsustainable."

Everyone listened attentively, nodded at critical moments, and no one interrupted.

Mrs. Sun continued: "When we built the house, we hadn't started this business yet. If there are more people in the future, they can't always be crowded in our house. The place where we live must be separated from the place where clothes are made. Otherwise, this The house is in chaos.”

"So I decided that as long as Lianhua comes back tomorrow morning and finalizes the order, our family will build a few more rooms in the open space next to it, specifically for making clothes and embroidery. What do you think?"

Mrs. Sun had also considered this matter carefully. During this period, there were a total of fourteen people making clothes, including Yu and others. Except for her family members and the two embroiderers, the others were all Lu family members and those who had worked before. They were rescued from the bandits' den. After all, they escaped together and had a deep revolutionary friendship, so the Lu family was willing to take them with them no matter what.

Nowadays, fourteen people are crowded into a room and it is already a bit overwhelming. If we recruit more people, we will definitely not be able to sit down, let alone produce anything good.

Therefore, expansion is essential.

"I agree with this. Since the surrounding land is empty, I might as well buy another two acres of land and build it into a large factory building. It will be much more spacious!"

He Jiuniang was the first to raise her hand. Since this business has been started, it is impossible to only make feather clothes. When the industry expands, can we not arrange various types of clothes?

In autumn and winter, we arrange feather coats and various woolen fabrics; in spring and summer, we arrange various light gauze skirts and breathable thin pajamas, as well as pajamas for couples.

Since they are cooperating with brothels, won’t all pajamas be sold out?
After all, they are consumables, right?

Old Man Lu also thought this was a good idea and nodded: "Yes, if you want to build it, build it as big as possible and build it all at once. Are you just worried that the family doesn't have enough money?"

Lianhua said: "Grandpa Lu, don't worry, if the brothel is sure to want the goods, they can give a deposit in advance, and then there will be a lot of money!"

He Jiuniang also said: "Yes, if the money is not enough, I still have some here. You can use it first, and then pay it back to me when you make a profit later."

Lu Guilan looked at her sensitively, it turns out that the third sister-in-law and she are rich!She thought that the 20 taels she had lent to the two of them was the limit.

I thought that He Jiu Niang only considered their two families, but she didn't expect that everyone was taken into consideration, and she couldn't help but admire her in her heart.

Mrs. Sun hesitated for a moment, then slapped her thigh: "OK! It's settled for now! Let's see the reply tomorrow."

If this business can really succeed, not only their family, but also other tribesmen can survive on the wages of this living, and they can also save money to buy their own fields. This is really a great thing! "Father and mother," Lu Jingxuan suddenly spoke, everyone looked at him, and he continued, "My second brother and I have been thinking about growing medicinal materials in the wasteland these past few days. When Fugui and the others found out, they asked me if I could bring some Together, there wasn't a lot of wasteland on the mountain and we couldn't grow much food. I didn't agree immediately. After all, this is our family's property, so I thought about asking my parents what they wanted."

Regarding the matter of medicinal materials, Old Man Lu and Mrs. Sun didn't know much about it, so they looked at He Jiuniang in unison. He Jiuniang thought for a while and then said carefully: "Yes, yes, but not now."

She paused and explained: "At present, our technology is not yet mature and is in the research stage. There is no guarantee that we can actually grow them to make money. We can't do bad things with good intentions. In my opinion, the matter of this medicinal material is still related to potatoes. Similarly, our family will plant them once before bringing them in. Anyway, our family has the processing technology and can buy them from them at the price of fresh medicinal materials. After we process them and sell them, we can earn the price difference. Of course, this is great The matter can only be given to us Lu family members. If other families in the village also want to plant, they must have two or three pennies less than the family members."

"This is a good idea!" Old Man Lu laughed out loud, "I can help, but I can't help them all. Our family is not very wealthy, so we can just help them a little. As for what their lives will be like, It has nothing to do with us!”

Mrs. Sun saw that he finally said something human, and nodded happily, that's what we have to do!
"Okay, then I'll say that tomorrow!"

After the important things were said, everyone went about their business.

Early the next morning, Lotus brought back good news.

"More than just liking it! I almost stole all the drawings!"

Lianhua said excitedly: "Those girls said these are the most beautiful clothes they have ever seen. Just make them according to the drawings. There is no need to show samples, just make them and send them over! In addition, they each also pay A deposit of one tael of silver!"

The total number of girls and madams in the three buildings is 160. Each person paid a deposit of 160 taels. She received [-] taels of silver this morning, and no one has any problem with the follow-up price!
With so much money in her arms, she was frightened all the way. She and Lu Jingxuan rushed back almost at lightning speed, so much so that the road was bumpy and her hair was torn apart, and now she looked extremely embarrassed.

But that doesn't stop her from being happy!
Not only was she happy, but everyone in the Lu family was happy, so Sun rewarded her with another one tael of silver and promised to pay her every month in the future.

I said enough about rejection yesterday. This time Lotus did not refuse. She just thought that she must work harder in the future and do a good job in business to repay her family.

Mr. Lu and Mrs. Sun went to the village chief's house. Whether it was buying land, building a house, or recruiting female workers, they couldn't do without the village chief's help. So when they went out, Mrs. Sun carried a basket of egg.

We don’t have any chickens or ducks at home yet, they are all bought from the county.

After the crowd dispersed, Lianhua took Qin back to the house and handed Qin all the money Sun gave her yesterday and today.

"Sister-in-law, you take this money, I don't want it."

"You kid, this is a reward from grandma, so you should keep it well. In a year or two, you will be old enough to talk about marriage. You have money in your own hands and you will have confidence in your husband's family. Do you understand?"

Mrs. Qin refused and clenched her hands tightly, not giving Lotus a chance to give her any money.
