Chapter 11 Testing the Waters

Fifty copper plates, that is the price that only eight large hens can sell!

"Sister, what are you looking at?" Zhaodi was originally lying on the bed resting, and opened his eyes in a daze, looking at Xidi's condition.

"No, nothing." Xidi put the silver under her butt. It was not that she didn't trust Zhaodi, but mainly because it was too troublesome to explain. If she knew the origin of the silver, she would be so nervous.

Of course, Xidi asked himself that he had no intention of taking advantage of the situation, but he had no great sentiment. Since he was not interested in this money, he should just consider it as a comfort to himself.

Brother Xi asked Zhao's body and saw a pattern in the needle and thread basket, "Did you do this?" The edge was already hooked up, and it looked good.

Zhaodi nodded, "Yes, grandma's pillows are old, I'm fine anyway, embroider a few pillow flowers to make grandma fresh." Then he started again.

Zhaodi's stitches are very stable and are quickly embroidered. Xidi's eyes are straightened. She asked herself that she didn't have this skill, and she prefers to hold a scalpel for her hands.

Zhaodi was doing needlework, and Xidi was helping the whole thread. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, since she was short of money now, why not use this craft to make money? Xidi thought of it, put the broken silver in her pocket, and jumped off the kang in a few strokes.

"Sister, please wait!" Zhao Di just thought that Brother Xi was being held back by urine, and didn't think much about it.

Brother Xi was so anxious that he didn't reply to Zhao, and put on a ox cart and went to the town again. The town was not as lively as the morning, and there were no small vendors on both sides, but the road seemed wider. Brother Xi bought ten chickens as fast as possible, and bought some scraps and some colored threads from the tailor shop, and spent a total of two small pieces of silver.

Brother Xi was busy at noon and didn't eat. As soon as he went back, he took a cold steamed bun from the kitchen and started gnawing. He drew several patterns while gnawing.

"What are you busy with?" Zhao Di walked over curiously, only looking at Xi Di talking about the cute little rabbit, mouse, puppy, etc. Although the painting is not very good, it can be called cute.

When Brother Xi saw Zhao coming, he ate a few bites of steamed buns. As a result, he was so anxious that he swallowed for a long time.

After taking this breath, Brother Xi asked, "Can you sew it out with cloth?"

Zhao Di frowned slightly, took the drawing, looked left and right, "This, I have only made tiger-head shoes, and I have never made these."

Xidi jumped on the chair and explained to Zhaodi. What she wanted Zhaodi to do was not flat like tiger-head shoes, but similar to plush toys, which could be played with on hands, and not big, but only as big as a slap. Xidi didn't know much about comics, she just drew it in a simple way, and in the end, it was fine, and Zhaodi still had to draw it for her.

Zhaodi couldn't do rough work even after surgery. This kind of thing was more suitable for her. After holding it in for several days, she finally did something a little novel, and Zhaodi did it carefully.

The two sisters were busy, and Grandma Chang didn't bother to see it. She just put five boiled eggs in front of her and went back to her house.

This feeling is what relatives should ask for. Xidi peeled the egg skin and fed it with Zhaodi, took it myself, waiting for Zhaodi to draw a good look. Xidi clapped her hands and said that this is what she wanted! The two sisters, they did it as soon as they said they could, Xidi fought in two bags of cloth around the corners!

This plush toy must be made for children, and the color matching must be bright. As for some dark cloth, Xidi cut it into small pieces and prepares it for filling. After all, using cotton as filling is too expensive!

As for why you have to control the size, it is mainly because there are many households here. To put it bluntly, if you make something, you can not only play with it, but also be practical. For example, if you don’t want to play with it, you can sew it on the shoes like tiger shoes in winter, sew it on the shoes to decorate it, or sew it on the brim or neck cover.

Therefore, as soon as this thing is released, it has to be done one-on-one.

Zhaodi is very quick-witted, and a pair of rabbits are ready soon. Although they are not as good as modern machines, Zhaodi's stitches are flat, which looks good!

When I held it in my hand, I always felt something was missing. Suddenly my mind flashed and I asked Zhao to embroider a small circle at one corner above.

"Sister, what does this mean?" Zhao brother sat down, scratched his head with a needle, and asked again casually!

Xidi smiled mysteriously, "This is called a trademark!"

Zhaodi has never heard of this word, but he didn't ask carefully. Xidi said that it is a trademark, so that's a trademark!

The rise of Zhao’s work was that, but Xi’s brother did not let Zhao’s work more. He only made ten pairs, which were called “testing the waters!

Zhaodi still hasn't heard of this word, but she now knows that it's right to listen to Xidi in everything.

Because I had something in my heart, Brother Xi woke up at the fourth day of the fourth day. He got up and cut some branches from outside, made a cage, and in the future he would wait to put the chicken he bought yesterday in. At the age of Grandma Chang, if you give money directly, she would not be able to get it. She could only find a way to make money by Grandma Chang.

When selling chickens yesterday, Xidi thought that captive chickens have more meat than free-range meat, so they are naturally valuable. Wait until the chickens are bigger, so they will be made one cage each for laying eggs and growing meat. The chicken manure is also gathered in the same place, so there is no need to clean the yard.

After finishing my work, it’s time to have a meal. The breakfast for the village households is very simple, with a bowl of batter, a bunch of steamed buns, and a few chopsticks and pickles. Grandma Chang can do her own work.

Zhao Di ate very quickly. After finishing the meal, he looked at Xi Di dynasty, "Sister, do you still look like you?" He was so excited that he wanted to do some more.

"Then you make ten more pairs today!" Brother Xi put the chopsticks and started drawing again.

Today, she painted characters from the Peppa Pig series. If you don’t look closely, she can still come out. Of course, it’s not that Xidi likes to watch cartoons, mainly gynecology and pediatrics on the same floor. Every time she passes by, there are always some popular cartoons on the screen, so she naturally knows some!

After packing up, Xidi put the ten pairs he made yesterday and went to the town with a wrap.

Xidi took the bag and squatted directly at the entrance of the clinic. First, she liked this feeling and taste, and secondly, it was also the heart of adults. Generally, sick children will be particularly pampered.

The price of Xidi is also high, two cents a pair, five cents a pair. Xidi can also make it easy, and it is also unambiguous when selling.
