Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 95
Chapter 97 Get rich again
In the shop, Liang Yuzhong was talking to Sun Dahu and the others, and he just waited for a while before leaving for Sunjiagou.

In Qin Ya's small room behind, Sun Yuxia stuffed the little purse that Jin Xi had given her, and returned it to Jin Xi intact.

"You girl, you really have a lot of thoughts, and you are worried about me. Hey, I didn't hurt you in vain! Well, you keep these silver taels yourself. Auntie can't use your money to buy things. No, that would be so embarrassing!" Sun Yuxia laughed.

Jin Xi took the purse and stuffed it back on her body, pursed her lips, and said intentionally: "Oh, I'm really kind enough to treat you as a way! Next time if my aunt needs anything, I won't give you a penny if you beg me." !"

"Okay, auntie, I'm thinking of you, is this okay?"

Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to the bundle rolls on Qin Ya's bed: "Auntie won't open it either, let's take a look first?"

Sun Yuxia blushed slightly, but she still excitedly unwrapped the pulled fabrics, shoe and socks materials, silk threads, and so on, one by one, and the three of them chatted while watching.

Sun Yuxia ripped up the fabrics for both families. Although Jinxi made it clear that she didn't need it, Sun Yuxia still ripped up a set of fabrics with simple and elegant patterns for Jinxi, and planned to cut out a pomegranate skirt for Jinxi when she returned. .

But Qin Ya is envious...

Fortunately, Sun Yuxia also bought a sachet for Qinya, and Qinya was very pleasantly surprised.The three discussed excitedly around the pile of things on the bed for a while. Jin Xi saw the two pairs of gloves that Sun Yuxia bought for Liang Yuzhong. One pair of black leather gloves was used for driving the car, and the other pair was made of twine. , usually used when doing things.

Jin Xi played with the two pairs of gloves, raised her cheeks and began to think.

Gloves and socks in this era are integrated except for the thumb. It can be said that this is the style of this era.

Although it can also play a role in keeping warm, it is not so quick to actually do things.

Just now when she was drying Wen Ding's hands upstairs, she rubbed those calluses on his palm, Jin Xi was thinking, why didn't she think of improving the gloves and socks of this era a little bit?Try to separate out the rootless fingers, which will not hinder the warmth, but also facilitate the work. In this way, isn't it equal to innovating the product?
Jin Xi is confident that the improved gloves and socks will be accepted by the common people, and this will give Sun Ji a big boost in business.

Guessing that it was about the same time, Jin Xi and Sun Yuxia set off to the shop in front, and Sun Dahu was carrying the clothes and fabrics they bought back into the carriage behind.

Taking advantage of this gap, Jin Xi went to the attic. Originally, she wanted to say goodbye to Wending and Sun Yubao, but when she walked to Sun Yubao's door, she caught a glimpse of the two people inside through the open gap, leaning against the wall Fell asleep.

Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, closed the door lightly, turned around and went downstairs, and went to the carriage parked at the entrance of Qingqiao Alley with Sun Yuxia Qinya.

"Xi'er, when are you going back to the village this time?" Qinya asked, standing under the carriage to see him off.

"Well, maybe, maybe I'll come again in a few days!" Jin Xi said, "Oh, your aunt asked me to ask you, are you going back to the village for Laba Festival?"

Qin Ya bit her lip and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I'll watch it during the Chinese New Year!"

Jin Xi nodded and got into the carriage. After the carriage drove for a long way, Qin Ya was still standing behind and waving her hand.

In the carriage, Sun Yuxia embraced Jinxi, glanced at Qin Ya's voice that was getting smaller and smaller behind her, and sighed: "That child, Qin Ya, really makes people feel distressed, father left early, mother remarried, and went to the only one My aunt, but I don't have a good uncle, so I can't go home now!"

Jin Xi silently said 'um', isn't that what it is, a golden nest and a silver nest are not comparable to her own kennel, although she was not much different from Qin Ya in her last life, but in this life, she feels that God really cares for her .

Not only her parents who love her dearly, but also her grandmother, who treats her sincerely, is enough!

"Father, Uncle Dahu, when we pass the rice store in front, stop for a while, I'm going to go in and buy some things!" After being bumped by Qin Ya's incident, Jin Xi almost forgot what she was going to do next. calculating.

"The vat at home is full of white rice, and there are still a lot of wheat flour, glutinous rice flour, and sweet potato flour. Xi'er, what else do you want to buy?" Sun Yuxia asked puzzled.

"Will this be Laba in a few days? I have to buy some ingredients to make porridge with seven treasures and five flavors!" Jin Xi said.

"Seven treasures and five flavors porridge?" Sun Yuxia didn't understand for a while: "Oh, you mean Laba porridge?"

"En!" Jin Xi nodded, she has lived here for two or three months, and she has a general understanding of the customs and habits in this area.

"In the previous Laba Festival, some red beans and peanuts were used. Add some millet and cook for a while!" Sun Yuxia said.

"Auntie, this year is no better than previous years." Jin Xi said solemnly: "In previous years, the family was not rich, but this year we have more money, so we should have a good Laba Festival!"

Sun Yuxia knew that she couldn't argue with Jinxi, so she shook her head and smiled, "Okay, my lord, you can do whatever you want, and I'll accompany you in to buy later!"

While talking, Liang Yuzhong and the others picked a large rice shop to stop, Jin Xi and Sun Yuxia jumped out of the car, entered the shop, Sun Dahu followed, Liang Yuzhong watched the car outside.

In the rice shop, Jin Xi weighed some black rice and round-grained rice, and with the shopkeeper of the rice shop, bought some thick twine bags like those used for storing rice, and loaded them into the cart together.

When Sun Yuxia was in the shop, she never asked too many questions, everything followed Jin Xi, and when she got into the carriage, she looked at the thick sacks at her feet and said, "What did you buy these bags for?"

Jin Xi pursed her lips into a smile, and told Sun Yuxia about her determination to sew gloves.

"Gloves with separated fingers? Are they ugly? I've never seen anyone put them on before, so I'm afraid they will be hard to sell!" Sun Yuxia said.

"Habits can also be broken. Isn't everything innovative? People who can use twine gloves are doing rough work. People like my father and uncle Duhu don't care about beauty. What about beautiful ones? As long as they are durable and quick to do things, they will definitely sell!" Jin Xi said with certainty.

"Maybe! But I still prefer gloves made of cloth, but after all, I'm not the lady who can sit still. I just sit there with a warm stove and warm my hands every day. I don't do anything with my hands for a while." I'm really not used to it!" Sun Yuxia didn't mean to say it, but Jin Xi listened to it, and a flash of inspiration suddenly exploded in her mind.

It will be Laba soon. As the saying goes, Laba Laba freezes jackdaws to death. Those wives and ladies from well-off families can’t keep a stove in their hands all the time, can they?At least when they touch the leaf cards, they have to bare their hands, right?Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to touch the cards with the indiscriminate glove.

Jin Xi touched the material that Sun Yuxia pulled for her to make a pomegranate skirt, and it felt very good, and the simple and elegant patterns were also very pleasing.She can first make a few pairs of modern women's gloves from that material, with double layers thickened, or with fleece inside, and then do some embroidery on them for embellishment, and some soft rabbit fur on the cuffs.The direction of sales is aimed at those women and girls from good families, and the price is higher, which is completely acceptable to those who are pampered.

"Auntie, you are so kind, in a word, it's enlightening!" Thinking of earning more money, Jin Xile narrowed her eyes, took Sun Yuxia's arm and shook it.

"Me? What did I say? Why don't I know?" Sun Yuxia was at a loss.

"Auntie, your embroidery skills are the best. When I go back this time, I have a very important job. I need to entrust it to you and my mother!" Jin Xi said coquettishly.

Due to time constraints, Jinxi decided to make a dozen or so pairs of women's gloves for a trial sale. If the response is good later, she will make more. It is best to find some daughters-in-law who know needlework in Sunjiagou and organize them. , even if the skills are not good enough, just let Sun Yuxia and the others teach them.

Jinxi was in the carriage all the way, and explained her plans to Sun Yuxia carefully. Although Sun Yuxia agreed with Jinxi's idea, Sun Yuxia was very disappointed that Jinxi wanted to take out her piece of fabric for pomegranate skirts and cut it. It is distressed.

"If you fall in love with that piece of material to make gloves, I won't stop me. I still have a piece of red material, and I'll make you a bright pomegranate skirt later, to wear during the Chinese New Year!" Sun Yuxia said.

"No, no, that piece of material was made by you, auntie. How can I win people's love?" Jin Xi said with a grin: "Besides, I don't like too bright skirts. I feel distressed, and if I find the daughters-in-law from the village later, my aunt will teach them more carefully, our gloves are selling well, and we have made a lot of money, how can we not get good clothes?"

Thinking about it this way, Sun Yuxia also felt that it was reasonable, and now everything follows Jin Xi.

Today, the days are short and the nights are long, and it was getting dark early. Luckily, Jin Xi and his party set off not too late, and there was no delay on the road, and the horses and oxen had good foot strength. However, when they returned to Sunjiagou, it was still dark .

Beside the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, a figure shivered, holding a pine oil lantern in his hand. The light was dim and the range of illumination was also small. The chariots and horses are here to welcome them.

"Father Xi'er? Dahu? Is it you?" A woman's inquiry came from the front, very familiar, it was Sun's.

"Sister, it's us!" Sun Dahu replied.

"Xi'erniang, why are you here?" Liang Yuzhong slowed down the bullock cart and asked loudly.

"It's so dark now, and I haven't seen you guys coming back, so why don't you come out and see?" Sun asked, "Is the road going well? Where are Yuxia and Xi'er?"

Jin Xi opened the curtain, and at a glance she saw Sun's face, which was a little pale with cold, and the worry expression on it, illuminated by the faint light of the pine oil lamp.
