At noon, they bought the finished tables and wooden boxes they wanted from Carpenter Yang.
I remember when they entered, they saw all sorts of finished products neatly arranged, including wooden boxes, tables, stools, bamboo baskets of different sizes, and even two rocking chairs...
Mingyueshu and everyone present were somewhat shocked. They thought they were all freshly made. Wouldn't it be a loss if so many finished products could not be sold?
Apparently, someone else had the same question and had already asked Carpenter Yang.
"Oh, no, with just these few things, not to mention that there aren't enough for you educated youth to share, even if not so many educated youth can come, the girls and boys in the village will still need these things for their weddings."
If it doesn't work out, someone from the next village will come to buy it.
What he didn't mention was that every family can live without tables and chairs nowadays, but they cannot live without several wooden boxes. Those with better conditions have cabinets, while most families with poorer conditions use these wooden boxes to store food or clothes. After all, these are precious things to them and cannot be eaten by mice.
Mingyueshu saw these things. They were all made of ordinary wood and the polishing was also average, but the advantage was that they were all new. Standing here, the smell of natural wood was very pleasant. A wooden box cost four yuan, a table cost three yuan, and three bamboo baskets of large, medium and small cost a total of fifty cents.
The prices of these things are set by the village and there is no room for bargaining.
The most expensive items are the two rocking chairs. No matter the material, workmanship or polishing, they are incomparable to anything else. One costs fifteen dollars. The carpenter said that the chairs are made of good wood.
He said that he came across these good materials by chance, but he was reluctant to make them into ordinary tables and chairs, which resulted in these two rocking chairs.
Ming Yueshu was still hesitant because of the carpenter's next words, "I think you are a good girl, so I'm telling you this. If you don't take it now, someone among those who came to me yesterday will want it. One of them has already been reserved."
Not to mention that she will stay here for many years, she liked this chair very much when she saw it. She had already imagined herself hibernating by the stove, eating snacks, reading a book or knitting a sweater, and her heart was moved.
It was just that she was one step faster. When Yuan Hongfei wanted to buy it, it was already sold out.
In addition, Ming Yueshu bought a table, two wooden boxes, and one large, medium and small bamboo basket, spending a total of twenty-six yuan and fifty cents.
She thought this kind of bamboo basket was perfect for storing mountain products and she would buy a few more when she had the chance to create space for storing things.
Fortunately, they didn't have to move it themselves. Carpenter Yang asked his eldest son to provide door-to-door delivery service.
Once again lamenting that money is not spent easily.
Speaking of which, she had a puzzled thought along the way: when other brigades were struggling to make ends meet, why was the Dongfeng Brigade so generous? First of all, the two rows of new houses at the educated youth site, although they were adobe houses, not to mention the rent that would be paid back later, the initial investment in building the houses was a huge expense.
Not to mention the wooden furniture in the carpenter's house. You have to know that in this era, these things are all publicly owned. Carpenter Yang can only get a commission at most. Without the approval of the team leader, Carpenter Yang dared to make so many furniture privately, which also requires taking risks. In a word, the Dongfeng Team's style of doing things seems a bit advanced and bold.
She couldn't help but think too much!
No... no, there's no way this village has another reincarnated person! Or perhaps a time traveler? We knew ahead of time that there would be a lot of high-spending people.
...
Almost all the large pieces of furniture have been purchased. Although it is a small room, it is very tiring to clean and decorate it.
She closed the door and took out a piece of defective cloth, cut out a piece to make curtains, and then cut out a piece in half the size of the quilt. She planned to make two quilt covers for changing. The dyeing of this piece of cloth was too serious. Although it was the same piece of cloth, the color difference was quite large.
Not to mention, it has a unique aesthetic appeal.
In the countryside, cloth is hard currency, so she took the opportunity to cut off several pieces of different sizes so that she could exchange them for other things when she had the chance.
Next, Mingyueshu nailed two nails above the window, pulled a rope and hung up the simple curtains she made, so there was no waste at all.
She also cut a half-curtain on the door. With this little bit of cover, when the door is not closed in the summer, looking in from the outside, one can hardly see the scene inside, but it will not block all the breeze from blowing in. Mingyueshu is very satisfied with this effect.
The windows of today are not like the glass windows of later generations. They are just small square holes framed by wooden boards and covered with oilcloth paper. They can be broken with a little force using your fingers.
Children from poor families have to grow up early. She knows how to do needlework and has good skills.
Now I have a table, a kettle, and a ceramic cup to use as a toothbrush cup. I unpack the toothpaste, toothbrush, and everything else and neatly insert them on the table...
One wooden box is for clothes and the other is for food!
Mingyueshu counted her money and found that she had seven hundred and ninety-one dollars and five cents left.
Today, except for Wang Qingxia and Wang Taotao who cooked some porridge, no one else participated. Mingyueshu happily took out a packed meal and ate it. Now everyone else should have some food rations.
As for the four old educated youth, they had gone to work in the fields long before everyone else got up.
After cleaning up the house, Mingyueshu left the educated youth center and strolled along the river. She had deliberately avoided people before coming out because she just wanted to walk alone.
Because of the river flowing through, the grass on both sides grew very lush. Mingyueshu picked a large leaf of an unknown grass and put it on her head!
She was inexplicably in a good mood, the most comfortable state she had felt in the past ten years.
The memory and space of the "time-traveling girl", or the money of her scumbag father and stepmother gave her something called "confidence".
Both sides of the river are lined with small pebbles of various shapes washed out by the water, and picking up pebbles and playing with them is also a favorite activity for children in the village.
"what"
There seem to be two children in front. Are they catching fish?
It doesn't look like there are any fish in this water.
Mingyue was curious and decided to go over and take a look.
"Hey, what are you two kids doing here?" As he approached the two children, one big and one small, the older boy was about eight or nine years old, and the younger girl was about four or five years old.
Yang Fubao and Yang Xiaohua saw a beautiful sister walking towards them early on. They also knew that many educated youth had come to the village.
But they didn't expect that this sister would talk to them.
Seeing that the two did not answer her, Mingyueshu squatted down on her own. It turned out that the peeled bamboo strips were tied together with a piece of rag and soaked in water.
"So it's soaked bamboo strips." She knew this too. Generally, the peeled bamboo strips had to be soaked in water before they could be used to weave mats or backpacks.
"To make a backpack and a winnowing basket." Yang Fubao replied without stopping his hands. He planned to pick up the bundle of soaked bamboo strips from the water.
Seeing the skinny little girl staring at her, Ming Yueshu smiled back, "What's your name? You have such beautiful eyes."
This is true. Although the little girl is very thin, her eyes are clear and bright, and she is really beautiful.
"My name is Xiaohua."
The little girl, Yang Xiaohua, was obviously a little shy. It was the first time that someone praised her for her beauty, especially her sister, who was so pretty. Hehe, she was happy.
"Xiaohua, is this your brother?"
Ming Yueshu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw that the little girl had gone from staring at her intently to stealing glances at her after being praised by her.
"Yeah!" Xiaohua nodded heavily.
"Come, sister will treat you to some candy." Mingyueshu took out three pieces of fruit candy from her pocket and stuffed one into Xiaohua's hand.
"No, no, sister, I don't want it." Looking at the orange candy in her hand, Xiaohua swallowed uncontrollably, but her little hand still made a gesture of rejection.
"How about this, Xiaohua, do me a favor. Do you know anyone who has a woven straw hat or backpack? If you do, can you help me find the way? I'll give you two candies later."
A straw hat and backpack are indispensable. She will definitely go into the mountains often in the future. It would be even better if there were some weapons to sell to her, such as sickles and axes. She can use them when going up the mountain in the future, or keep a spare in the space so that she can be protected in case of danger or those who are blind.
Although she doesn't like Liu Xinyue, she still has to be on guard against the same experience the heroine had in her previous life. Although the people in the Dongfeng Brigade seem to have good morals at the moment, it's never too cautious about her own safety, and she has the conditions to do so.
It would be great if she had the supernatural powers that the heroines in novels have, but unfortunately she is just an ordinary person with an ordinary physique.
