Washing clothes is a rough job, and those at home are still learning and exploring, so they start to learn how to do their own small items.

She has to do something like washing a coat.

Xu Xinlan thought while washing, fortunately her clothes were not dirty. Otherwise, she would have been beaten by the river like her neighbors and sisters, and the best tributes would probably be scrapped immediately. When the clothes brought were worn out, she would have to wear coarse cloth from now on. She would have to stand it if she had fine skin and tender flesh.

The materials of coarse cloth are ground, and since they are a country man, they have to follow the customs of the countryside.

A flash of mind made her mind think of embroidery. Why do you have to buy ordinary ones and have a seller's market?

"You are washing clothes." Zhang Hongfu, who deliberately passed by the river, thought that he was so stupid, so he asked knowingly.

"Brother Hong Fu, I'm thinking of you." Xu Xinlan was very happy when she saw the visitor.

"Ah?" Zhang Hongfu was so scared that he fell into the river without standing firmly.

"Ah?" I came to my senses and realized what stupidity I had made.

"I'll wash my hands, I'll wash my hands." The river was not deep, only as close as his knees.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Zhang Hongfu quickly performed washing his hands.

"Brother Hong Fu, I want to ask you for help, but I don't know if Fang is inconvenient." The words just now really hurt the girl's face. Now I quickly make up for it: "I don't know when you will go to the town, I want to buy something."

After confirming that Ye Daxiu was also under surveillance, Xu Xinlan decided to try to minimize the number of times she gathered in front of him.

At the same time, she had to open the second line of defense: ask Zhang Hongfu for help.

"Yes, you can go anytime if you buy anything. I walk fast and can run back and forth eight times a day." When I was a child, I always wanted to go to the town because there were fun, beautiful and delicious things in the town.

But my parents don’t allow them to go; now I can run eight times a day, but it’s useless if I go because I don’t have money.

"That's great." Xu Xinlan immediately took out a piece of silver or two: "Mom and the others can't do other work, so they want to embroider some embroidered handkerchiefs to sell. Brother Hong Fu, please buy me some embroidery needles and colored threads, and fabrics suitable for embroidered handkerchiefs..."

Xu Xinlan thought that she could not sell the clothes and fabrics, so she might as well take the popular route.

Ye Daxiu has been supervised, so he will think of another way.

"Okay." Zhang Hongfu also washed his hands and walked over to take the money: "How can I hand it over to you if I buy it?"

My parents said that there were many troubles in front of the widow's door, and the village chief said hello and did not come close to the person next door.

My mother said she didn’t feel like a bad person; my father said that there were no words on the bad person’s forehead, so I wouldn’t be bad when I listened to the village chief.

Zhang Hongfu has to abide by my rules. What do people think if he buys things and knocks on the door openly?

"Don't tell others about this, don't even tell your parents?" Xu Xinlan bit her lip gently: "My father is gone, and my mother and I don't know how to make money. I'm afraid of people making jokes when selling embroidered handkerchiefs!"

Pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic.

"If you buy it, put it in the firewood pile under the eaves of my house, I will pick it up by myself." It looked like an underground worker: "Don't be seen by others, otherwise..."

"I understand, I understand." Zhang Hongfu was very sympathetic. Look how pitiful they were.

Now he has developed a bad habit of climbing under the big locust tree every night to eavesdrop on it, and he will be relieved to make sure that her house is not crying.

"I can throw things into your yard from my big locust tree."

Listening to his witty ideas, Xu Xinlan sighed in her heart that she was a good-minded master.

After buying things, I threw them from the big locust tree and into the yard. After I was finished, I took them with an iron hook to exchange for silver.

"Girl, don't be afraid, I'll help you." Zhang Hongfu felt that he was a good person, and such a girl was not a bad person.

"Thank you, Brother Hong Fu, just call me Xiaolan." Everyone is willing to help you, so naturally I have to get closer.

To be honest, she found that this kind of handover was excellent.

"Okay, Xiaolan, then I'll go to the town." Zhang Hongfu received the task and ran away quickly.

Looking at the back of Scud, Xu Xinlan thought to herself whether he would be implicated?

Well, no, definitely not. Those people just need to monitor the village chief’s house. In this village, if they do anything, they have to ask Ye Daxiu for help.

As for this young man, he should not be in their sight.

"Oh, it's broken." Xu Xinlan discovered a serious problem.

She was stupid and forgot to tell the other party what color of fabric to buy, and how could he understand that a future boss would buy these things for women?

It's silver, I hope he spends money well.

Xu Xinlan, who was extremely annoyed, was drying her clothes in the backyard after washing her clothes. When she looked up, she saw the big locust tree separated by a wall.

People say that accents are out of their way, but this old tree is not willing to give in. Most of the branches extend to this house's territory.

This shows that the relationship between the two families was quite good before, otherwise they would have cut off any extra branches and had a quarrel.

"Xiaolan." The low voice was filled with joy.

Xu Xinlan looked up and saw the figure.

"Next." A large bulging bag fell from the tree.

Xu Xin answered quickly, and was stunned when she opened it and looked at it.

"How did you know you want to buy these?" There were all kinds of silk threads and the fabric was soft, which relieved her heart.

"I asked the shopkeeper and agreed to them that a pair of embroidery palettes cost two cents." Zhang Hongfu sat on the tree stubble and asked for credit: "The shopkeeper said that if the embroidery is good, you can increase the price. Don't worry, you won't be rich if you leave it to me."

Two cents.

After hearing about this price, Mo and others opened their mouths and completely forgot about etiquette and rules.

When they were in the Eastern Palace, they started by sending their servants a casual word, just two taels of silver!

How much effort does it take to embroider an embroidered handkerchief cost only two cents.

At this moment, I just want to cry.

Tears shed without any money again.

"Actually, we don't have to be discouraged." Well, I need some psychological comfort at this moment: "It's like this for ordinary people to live like this, even a penny is just one. It's hard for many rural women to earn two pennies. Maybe they want to earn some private money on their own for the rest of their lives."

"I've found out that the rice here costs ten cents per pound, the fine noodles cost eight cents, and the rough noodles cost only four cents. Think about it, six people in our family can embroider handkerchiefs, and one per person embroider one a day is twelve cents to get rid of the cost, which means we can't starve to death."

"Listen to the Si Yat." Mo wiped away the tears and took the needle and thread first: "Find money is like picking soil with needles, and using money is like pushing sand with water. This is the day for ordinary people."

Let's live like this, at least you don't have to worry about being killed anymore. Isn't the goal now to be alive?

"But, we can't make one in a day?" Liu looked at Xu Xinlan: "This is embroidery, and we can only work hard to do slow work."
