The escape system takes me to dig for treasures
Chapter 383 The Eve of the Examination
Fortunately, after Lin Xiaohu finished eating, he found that the house was quiet. Old Man Jiang was going to the back mountain to work, so he followed him.
But after this day, I felt completely listless and had no interest in doing anything.
While Grandpa Jiang was working, he followed behind him.
Jiang Li, on the other hand, was completely focused on the stuffed toy.
Let Yu San hurry up and tan the fur these days.
Because the quantity required is large, and the quality of the furs tanned using the current tanning method does not quite meet Jiang Li's ideal requirements, it still needs continuous improvement.
This way, there won’t be enough manpower.
Jiang Li immediately started recruiting people for Yu San.
When Yu San heard Jiang Li say that he wanted to recruit people, he hesitated for a moment and then found Jiang Li.
"Ali, what do you think of my fourth brother?"
Yu Si now occasionally goes up the mountain to set some traps, but he no longer relies solely on hunting for a living.
Occasionally I would do some odd jobs to make ends meet.
Yu San had previously thought of finding him a job on a pig farm, but he had never found a suitable opportunity.
Now is a good time to bring it up.
Jiang Li thought about it and decided that instead of finding someone he wasn't familiar with to help Yu San get used to the new situation, it would be better to let Yu Si come. The two brothers already had a good understanding of each other.
So after a little thought, he nodded and agreed.
However, hiring just one person was not enough, Jiang Li also found two people who could do needlework.
Aunt Zhang was the one who selected these two people. After all, Jiang Li didn't know much about needlework.
Her only requirement was that needlework was the basics, and sometimes when Yu San and others were too busy, she had to help with washing and scrubbing.
Tanning fur is a very complicated job. Once the quantity increases, I'm afraid the two brothers won't be able to handle it.
Back in the capital, Chen Dafu finally received the stuffed doll shipped from Yunzhou City. It was still only available in gray color, and in three sizes: small, medium and large.
But there was no time to be picky now, as all the dolls in the store were sold out. Several families who had come to buy dolls before also came back to the store, but didn’t get any, so they left deposits to make reservations.
After receiving the message from the dock, Chen Dafu quickly hired a carriage to take the things away. When he arrived at the store, he patted the dolls until they were fluffy and placed them on the shelf one by one.
There were forty or fifty dolls delivered this time. The shop was not big to begin with, and they filled up several walls in no time.
Even though the store is out of stock, Chen Dafu still insisted on opening the store these days. People who have bought products before came to make reservations.
Chen Dafu put the dolls in order and began to look through his account book.
The address information of the families who left deposits was written down on it, and after it was counted, it was delivered to each family one by one.
By the time I delivered the dolls to each household and returned, it was already dark.
However, he has a good habit in doing business. He finishes the day's work on the same day, and today's accounts must be recorded clearly today.
So I went back to the store and busied myself with the accounts, and by the time I got home it was already dark.
The elderly and children at home were waiting for him to eat.
As soon as the child saw him come in, he quickly handed him a wrung-out towel to wipe his face.
The old lady brought the food that was warm on the stove to the table.
"How was business today? Why did you come back so late?"
The old lady asked as she was busy.
Chen Dafu was very hungry, so he quickly served food to the child and the old lady. Then he ate a few mouthfuls to fill his stomach, and then began to explain the whole story to the old lady.
As soon as the dolls sent from Yunzhou City arrived, the store would generate income every day and more or less of them could be sold.
Chen Dafu estimated that at this rate, the goods would be sold out within a month.
He observed the preferences of the customers in the store and took notes.
While writing to Jiang Li to request goods, he also sorted out the preferences of the customers that he had observed and told Jiang Li.
After Jiang Li returned from the capital, he asked Yu Sanyou to research and develop a method to change the color of tanned fur.
It is found that rabbit fur is originally gray, and it is difficult to fade it into pure white.
After much thought, if I want white color, I have to collect fur from other animals.
If that still doesn't work, you can only dye the doll into other colors of red, yellow, and blue.
While making the gray doll, I also have to adjust the doll's fur color and feel.
Jiang Li became busy. The cooked food business was not very hot in the first month of the year, so Zhang Sheng would assign some people to help when it was not busy.
Finally, we sent out a batch of plush dolls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Aunt Zhang is also trying to make other types of dolls based on the drawings drawn by Jiang Li.
There are bears, dogs, and tigers.
These dolls are obviously just drawn to resemble animals, but they look somehow cuter than real animals.
Not to mention others, Lin Xiaohu, the youngest in the family, was the first to enjoy it. He couldn't put it down as soon as he got it.
Aunt Zhang took some puppets made of defective cloth, which were stuffed with reed fluff or dry leaves, and asked Lin Xiaohu to distribute them to other children in the village who were good at playing. Those children liked them very much.
These are made of substitutes and are for them to play with. The ones on the beds of my own children are made of animal fur and filled with cotton.
Seeing that the children like it, Jiang Li and Aunt Zhang feel more confident in their work and are no longer afraid of not being able to sell it.
At home, we are busy doing business and making money at the beginning of the year.
As soon as Jiang Baishu and Tie Niu returned to the private school, they became more nervous.
There was not much time left for them to prepare for the Tongshi exam, and Master Xu became more strict when watching them do their homework.
Jiang Baishu was okay, at least he was ten years old, but Tieniu was only six. Even if he was smart, he would be dizzy if he was surrounded by poems and essays all day long.
If Jiang Baishu hadn't been there to encourage him, Tie Niu would have quit long ago.
A six-year-old child is at the age when he loves to play.
Moreover, after a ten-day Spring Festival holiday, everyone is still in the mood to play.
It took Jiang Baishu three days to calm down, and Tie Niu, who was detained in the house, also wrote for several days before he could sit still.
The Tongshi examination is divided into two sessions, the county examination and the prefectural examination. The county examination is in February, and only those who have passed it can take part in the prefectural examination, which is probably held in April.
Jiang Baishu and Tie Niu left home on the eighth day of the first lunar month and took part in the county examination in February, returning home only once in between.
As soon as we got home, Aunt Zhang prepared a bunch of delicious food and drinks to serve us.
Three days before the county examination, Master Xu finally let them go home.
The two of them are not very old, but they have dark circles under their eyes due to working so hard.
Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu brought the two of them home. Seeing that they were tired, Jiang Li immediately asked Aunt Zhang to cook something easy to digest so that they could eat, take a bath and have a good sleep in bed.
It has come to this, if you want to read a book, read it, if you don’t want to read it, just take a good rest and relax.
The most important thing is to be in good condition.
