A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman
Chapter 63 Foreigners and Pepper Seeds
Huang Mulin had no intention of holding on to the "bathroom design" issue forever. She just wanted Lao Tian and Qian Donglai to earn enough money to support several generations, which was considered taking care of her partners.
As for her, there are other ways to make money.
In addition, there are furniture made by He Yian.
According to the design given by Huang Mulin, He Yian made twenty-four bunk beds, three for men's bedrooms and five for women's bedrooms, with three beds in each.
All this is done so that new staff can move in at any time in the future. Also, if a long-term worker suddenly feels unwell, he can come and rest.
The room also has eight modern solid wood style sofas, one in each bedroom.
Huang Mulin settled the bill with He Yian. The bunk bed cost five taels of silver each, and the sofa cost two taels of silver each, a total of one hundred and thirty-six taels.
Huang Mulin had previously given He Yian fifty taels of silver as start-up capital, and she immediately added another hundred taels of silver.
But He Yian was scared.
The oak used for the main frame of the furniture is relatively expensive, while the wooden boards are made of ordinary wood, which is not of high value.
Including the cost of raw lacquer, the total cost of this batch of furniture was only fifty taels of silver, which increased the income several times in an instant.
He Yian said that fifty taels was enough and he could not take any more money.
Huang Mulin disagreed and insisted that he accept it, saying that cooperation requires a cooperative attitude.
In addition, Huang Mulin discussed with He Yian that he hoped he would do business according to this specification and price in the future and only accept pre-orders.
If the customer has special needs, such as wanting better quality wood, we can accept the job, but the deposit will be increased.
After being persuaded by Huang Mulin and Huang Bo, He Yian had to accept the money. As a result, he had great expectations for opening a furniture workshop in the future.
Huang Bo went to ask someone to pick a date and picked an auspicious day to open the workshop. He planned to hold a banquet and invite fellow villagers and relatives from his father-in-law to come over for a meal.
The new house is complex and large. The craftsmen have been busy working to speed up the progress of the workshop. It will probably take until the end of summer next year to complete the house.
The date was set, and Huang Jinlin, who was given the important task, was thinking about what dishes to prepare for the banquet.
It was mid-September and the private school had a holiday for clothing. In addition to studying on their own every day, the four brothers also occasionally helped out in the cafeteria.
Huang Mulin thought that she hadn’t been to the pier for a long time, so she planned to teach Huang Jinlin how to make some different seafood dishes for this banquet.
Just after the hour of Mao on the day before the opening, Huang Bo took Huang Mulin, Huang Jinlin and Huang Haolin to the dock to buy seafood, while the others stayed at home to pack up red cloth and other items, and asked Fang Zheng to take them back to Xiushan Village later.
Huang Mulin deeply felt that she was destined to be with the sea.
There are surprises every time I come to the pier market.
Look, those guys speaking in poor local language, aren’t they the foreigners she’s been thinking about?
Huang Mulin had another premonition.
There are good things.
Pulling Huang Bo, she walked towards the foreigners anxiously.
But Huang Bo held her back and was unwilling to go over.
"Mu Mu, those people look so scary, don't go over there."
Huang Bo had also heard some rumors from foreigners, all of which were negative and bloody, so he was quite worried.
"Daddy, don't be afraid, they don't eat people."
Huang Mulin said helplessly.
Huang Bo didn't believe it and refused to let her pass.
"Dad~"
"No."
Huang Mulin's face fell and he was about to cry.
The sons all glared at their father as if he had done something unforgivable.
Although they also disagreed with their sister contacting foreigners.
Huang Haolin was a little more rational. He remembered that Huang Mulin had asked him about the foreigners. He thought his sister probably had her own considerations.
However, he was also a little worried about the negative effects described in the rumors.
"Dad~Brother~"
Huang Mulin did not give up. If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know when she would meet a foreigner again. She also had a hunch that the foreigner had what she wanted.
"It's really going to be okay. They have good stuff on them."
Try to convince the parents.
"What good stuff?"
Huang Jinlin's eyes sparkled.
"Not sure, maybe it's for human use, maybe it's for eating."
"father!"
At this moment, Huang Haolin and Huang Jinlin both rebelled.
"you......"
I'm so angry!
traitor!
Huang Bo was itching to fight, but he was defeated in a one-on-three situation.
Huang Mulin happily held Huang Haolin in his left hand and Huang Jinlin in his right hand, and trotted towards where the foreigners were.
The dock vendors here are having a huge headache.
I don’t know what happened today, but suddenly a big ship came and a few foreigners got off, mumbling something and I couldn’t tell what they were saying.
Although they later switched to the language of Tianxiang, it was still difficult to pronounce each word clearly, and no one knew what they wanted.
Do you really want to kick that person into the sea?
Huang Mulin heard the muttering of several foreigners as he approached, probably wanting to trade items.
"Do you want to buy anything?"
Huang Mulin tried to speak in English.
This is the foreign language she studied and practiced hard in the space.
Huang Bo's family's pupils trembled...
My daughter/sister knows a lot!
"Do you speak our language?"
Foreigner A, who had an unsuccessful conversation, was so happy that he almost danced. He didn't expect that the person who could communicate with him well was actually a little kid.
"Some." She then asked, "Are you buying or selling something?"
"We want to exchange things."
At this time, foreigner B enthusiastically opened the sheepskin bag in his hand, and there were several small bags inside, each containing different things.
"We brought some seeds..."
Foreigner B was introducing the products incessantly. There were several types that Huang Mulin had never heard of before, but there was one type that she had always dreamed of!
chili!
She heard foreigner B describe that it would hurt when eaten, but they had tried using it as a condiment in cooking, and that it would make them hot and sweaty after eating it, so it was suitable for eating in winter.
that's it!
Huang Mulin excitedly grabbed the bag of pepper seeds and asked him what he wanted in exchange.
Foreigner B was startled. After hearing what Huang Mulin said, he realized that she was interested in the seeds, so he quickly said that he wanted to exchange them for some grain seeds.
Huang Mulin agreed.
Then she looked at the others, wondering if they had anything to exchange.
Foreigners A and C immediately started selling what they brought.
In the end, Huang Mulin exchanged ten kilograms of rice seeds for a small bag of chili seeds, a set of jade jewelry for a nautical telescope, a fox fur cloak and a bear fur cloak for a small bag of gems. The other things were nothing special, so she didn't exchange them.
As for the seeds that she didn't recognize, she didn't dare to take them, for fear that they would grow something that would cause a disaster and she would become a great sinner of this era.
Of course, jade jewelry, fur cloaks and the like were all asked from Yang Lijun. Although they were valuable items, they were easier to obtain than the goods brought by foreigners.
Several foreigners wanted to persuade Huang Mulin to change some more, but she refused to do so.
But she said that if there was anything else she could exchange next time, she would open a canteen nearby.
The foreigners shook their heads, saying that a trip to the sea would take more than half a year, the journey was long and dangerous, they did not dare to go out to sea casually, and they came here out of necessity, and each of them had their own bad experience.
