Chapter 75 Harvest
After getting the molds, Zhao Yunlan kept 80 of them at home and took 20 to Zhaojiagou. Zhao Yunlan was indeed worried that Mrs. Jiang would be too distracted. After all, there was a pregnant woman at home, so she only divided into two.
Ten for Mrs. Jiang.
"Mom, I only gave you twenty pieces. I'm worried that there will be too many for Mom to handle. Don't rush to make these twenty pieces. Wait until the piece you used before is formed and there are no problems.
Let's start working on it. We have to make sure that the quality is up to standard, and this month's quantity is almost enough for shipment. But this month's share is gone." Zhao Yunlan explained to Ms. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang: "Mother knows that my daughter is also for mother's good. Mother understands that twenty is enough. I can't take care of more."
Zhao Yunlan hugged Mrs. Jiang and laughed. When Zhao Daliang came back, he saw mother and daughter talking and laughing there, and they were actually a little jealous.
"Dad, you're back. Last time I came here, I didn't even wait to talk to you before leaving." Zhao Yunlan said.
Zhao Daliang: "You also asked whether I would come back later this time and you would leave again."
Zhao Yunlan smiled coquettishly: "No, I brought good wine specially for dad this time."
Zhao Daliang looked at the two jars of wine on the table and felt comfortable, "Well, your mother will cook two of your favorite dishes in a while and then leave after dinner."
Zhao Yunlan: "Oh, yes!"
Mrs. Jiang patted Zhao Yunlan's hand.
In the evening, Zhao Yunlan returned to Li's house. Autumn was about to come, and it was much cooler morning and night.
It was agreed to make sixty pieces in the first month, but now there are still forty-six that have not been delivered, and forty are almost ready. Zhao Yunlan gave the other six to Li Mingmei, while Zhao Yunlan watched from the side.
.
Time flies by like a flash, and the autumn harvest is here. Zhao Yunlan still remembers that when he first came here, the Li family was still unable to untie the pot. Everyone was sick, some were weak, some were small. He had no choice but to help the Li family owe a small sum of money. Now,
Looking back at what happened before, it seems that it doesn't matter. The Li family's health has improved, and there are more smiles on the faces of the Li family. Looking at the one tael of silver owed before, even the old man Li's pocket, uh, should
It can't be taken out. Who told Wang to be strict? Now it's the harvest season again. Fortunately, the weather has been smooth this summer, and the rice in the fields is full. Old man Li and Li Mingli have been happy all day long, just waiting.
Harvest this day.
The school had had a busy farm break a few days ago, and Li Mingzhi came back early, taking off his long gown and putting on a short jacket, ready for a bumper harvest at any time.
Old Man Li couldn't help but said: "Boss, your school has a busy farm break!"
Li Mingren didn't dare to speak, his face was red, and he didn't know if he was exposed to the sun.
Li Mingyi also closed the shop and came back to help collect the millet. Zhao Yunlan was going to the town today to deliver the forty pieces of soap, so he set off early in the morning, thinking of rushing back early to help pull the goods. After all, Zhao Yunlan had the ox cart
Drive away.
Under Zhao Yunlan's training, Li Mingren is now able to work as a strong laborer, but he is still a little clumsy in doing things.
Old Man Li arranged for Li Mingren to do some moving and carrying work. The whole field was full of people working hard, and the joy of the harvest infected everyone in the fields.
When Zhao Yunlan arrived at Qingya Cloth Village, he put down the soap and turned around and went back. Shopkeeper Wu didn't even have time to call Zhao Yunlan, so he had to call for a carriage to go to Fucheng.
Li Mingren was particularly happy to see Zhao Yunlan come back. To be precise, he was happy to see the oxcart come back. He could finally relax a little. He had been carrying grains for a whole morning, each bag weighing more than a hundred kilograms, going back and forth in the fields to dry the grains.
When I moved back, Li Mingren felt pain in his back, shoulders, and arms.
Old Man Li was still not satisfied: "Look at your brother. After harvesting the grains, he still helps you carry the grains."
Li Mingren couldn't tell how hard he was. At this moment, Li Mingren wanted to start the exam right away. He wanted to take the exam and let Old Man Li take a look at it.
The whole family has been busy for seven or eight days, catching up with the end of summer, drying the millet and closing it in the warehouse. This autumn harvest, everyone in the Lijia Village is smiling. Old man Li gets up every day and looks at the millet in the warehouse.
Li Mingren was more pleased with it.
After the autumn harvest this time, Li Mingren studied more diligently than before. He arranged a full schedule of study tasks for himself every day, and also rushed to do the work at home. However, Li Mingli felt a little uncomfortable after relaxing.
Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingli's idle look and said: "Mingli, if you are free, why not go to the town to help your second brother for a few days? The second brother's shop is a little busy after the autumn harvest. I asked him to hire someone, but he didn't do it."
Listen, I can't leave here."
Li Mingli nodded: "Okay, I'll pack up and go."
Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, my little sister and I will go to town with you later. I'll go to Shopkeeper Wu to ask about the situation. I still owe him six pieces of soap, so I'll take them to him together."
Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingmei to pack 20 pieces of soap. Before the autumn harvest, Zhao Yunlan made soap whenever she had time. Now all the molds at home are waiting to solidify. Thanks to the cart of ice from shopkeeper Wu, a lot of soap has been made.
Soap that is closer to the ice solidifies faster.
Although there are still six bars of soap left to be delivered this month, it is not a problem to bring only six bars, so Zhao Yunlan took more. If it is easy to sell, he will sell more. If the situation is not good, he will let go.
Sell slowly.
Zhao Yunlan and the others drove the ox cart to the town. Li Mingli tied the ox cart next to the shop and went in to help Li Mingyi.
Zhao Yunlan took Li Mingmei to deliver soap to Shopkeeper Wu. Looking at Shopkeeper Wu's cheerful expression, she knew that this soap was also a good harvest.
"Ms. Zhao, my soap has been sold out again. It is only sold in Fucheng and not even in stores in the county!" Shopkeeper Wu said.
Li Mingmei smacked her tongue beside her, and the boss looked at Shopkeeper Wu with wide eyes.
Zhao Yunlan was also surprised, "Shopkeeper Wu, it seems that I underestimated the wealthy people in Fucheng!"
Shopkeeper Wu chuckled: "Mrs. Zhao is too modest and doesn't believe in her own strength."
Zhao Yunlan waved her hand and took out twenty bars of soap from her backpack: "Shopkeeper Wu, I brought twenty bars this time."
Shopkeeper Wu said: "I'm afraid it's not enough. We have reserved thirty in Fucheng. I estimate that there will only be thirty more over there. This soap is very popular with the ladies. If you encounter this at home,
Those with more female relatives can sell for eight or nine yuan at a time."
Zhao Yunlan nodded, and shopkeeper Wu continued: "I'm thinking of paying thirty-five yuan in the county first, but fifteen yuan in this town will be fine."
Li Mingmei was frightened by Shopkeeper Wu's appearance and stood up: "There are still so many more!"
Zhao Yunlan patted Li Mingmei's hand gently, and Li Mingmei sat down.
Shopkeeper Wu smiled: "Isn't that thanks to your sister-in-law for making such good things?"
Zhao Yunlan smiled sheepishly: "This is the first time that everyone is willing to catch the limelight. I guess there won't be so many next month. After all, this stuff can't be used up all at once."
Shopkeeper Wu nodded and said, "Well, it depends on how they use it after buying it. The laundry soap is used up quickly. There is still a small piece of laundry soap you sent last time."
In ancient times, dressing up was cumbersome, especially for rich people, who wore layers upon layers of clothes. The laundry soap must have been used quickly!
Zhao Yunlan made an agreement with shopkeeper Wu to wait a few days before delivering sixty bars of soap, and then took Li Mingmei back.
Chapter completed!
