Chapter 6 Who is the third master?
Mother Jiang and Yingying are obsessed with making Jiangxiang pancakes, oh no, they are obsessed with making money.
If Yu Zhi hadn't stopped them, they would have gone out to set up a stall in the morning, noon and evening. Mother Jiang also said, "Girl, you may not think that I am old, but I have a lot of strength and I am not tired at all."
If you are not active in making money, you have a brain problem.
Cherry quickly followed, "Girl, I'm not tired either."
How can it be tiring to make money?
The corners of Yu Zhi's mouth turned up slightly, proud!
Look, she just said, how could anyone not like silver? The sound of the tinkling of copper plates was so beautiful! Yu Zhi listened to it all day without getting bored.
She is such a vulgar woman!
However, for the sake of sustainable development, Yu Zhi dismissed Jiang's mother's request. It was enough to run the stall in the morning and noon, and forget about it in the evening.
You say you are not tired, how can you not be tired when you have to meet so many people every day?
Mother Jiang is not young anymore, and Yingtao is still growing. Even if she is fine for a short period of time, she will definitely get tired and fall into trouble over time, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Besides, if her Maotai-flavored pancakes are selling well, they have to leave a way for other food sellers to survive, otherwise they will be jealous.
After selling Maotai-flavored pancakes for ten days, the business has stabilized and I can earn at least half a tael every day. If I meet a big customer to place an order, I can make a profit of two or three taels. Of course, there are not many such opportunities. So far, I have encountered
Last time.
In addition to selling Jiangxiang cakes, Jiang Mama and Yingying added another business, which was making velvet flowers.
On a whim, Yu Zhi made a camellia hairpin with rags and put it on her temple. When Yingying saw it, she said it looked good and wanted to learn from it.
Yu Zhi became interested and taught her several styles and even drew a bunch of flowers for her.
I didn’t expect that I was not good at cherry needlework, but I was quite skillful at making velvet flowers. I made three or four flowers in one night, some were gorgeous, some were elegant, and they were all lifelike.
Yu Zhi praised, "It looks better than the ones sold in embroidery shops."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was thoughtful. Mother Jiang and Yingying, who were obsessed with making money, actually went to the embroidery shop to ask if a few velvet flowers had actually been sold, at a high price of five cents each.
All velvet flowers are made of are rags, so it doesn't cost much at all. You can buy a large pack at a clothing store for ten or twenty cents, enough to make dozens or even hundreds of flowers, which is a huge profit.
First I made velvet flowers, and then I made flower hairpins. I bought wooden hairpins for a few cents, wrapped flowers on them to create shapes, and their value immediately doubled several times. Some of them were decorated with beads, and they could be sold for hundreds of cents.
Just one.
You Yuzhi provides pattern and technical support. Whether it is velvet flowers or flower hairpins, they are all novel in style, with full, three-dimensional and unique patterns. They are particularly popular and are often sold out as soon as they are delivered to the embroidery workshop.
Xinyingsheng Yuzhi still pays dividends to Mama Jiang and Yingtao, and they still share 20% of the net profit equally.
Mother Jiang and Yingying are very fond of it. Apart from making and selling Jiangxiang cakes every day, all their free time is used to make velvet flowers and flower hairpins.
The changes in the two of them are also obvious. Their eyes are brighter, their backs are straight, and they walk with wind. Mother Jiang no longer whispers in Yu Zhi’s ears about looking for the third master, third master? Who is the third master? Can he sell it for money?
?
Cherry no longer needs to hold down the remaining branches to learn to read. She is still chanting the multiplication table while burning the fire. The progress is so rapid!
Silver is such a good thing, no one can resist its charm.
As Mama Jiang and Ying Tao's private money increased, Yu Zhi's life became better and better, and her food and clothing were all upgraded to a higher level. Even though Mama Jiang and Ying Tao were busy making money, they did not waste any time in serving her.
Mother Jiang cooks delicious food for her in different ways every day, and the snacks are ready and brought to her.
Cherry cut the fruit into small pieces and put them on bamboo sticks, eager to feed them to her mouth.
What about Yu Zhi? He sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day. Apart from eating, he just sits on the soft couch and reads a book. When he gets tired of reading, he gets up and walks around, watering the flowers.
The small garden has been built, and the transplanted flowers have not yet bloomed. A row of creeping vines has been planted in front of the wall, and they are trying to stretch their branches to climb up the wall.
Yu Zhi raised his arms, doing stretching movements while counting the money on hand.
It was still too little, not enough for her to buy medicinal materials.
But it doesn't matter, she has already thought of a way.
When Yu Zhi was buying a storybook at a bookstore, he discovered that the literati of the Daqing Dynasty were particularly fond of painting. Not to mention the original works by famous artists, well-made fakes could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.
She saw with her own eyes that a fake was sold for a high price of five hundred taels of silver. The buyer was a merchant, and he had the aura of a wealthy nouveau riche.
Because she was shocked by the five hundred taels of silver, Yu Zhi looked at it very carefully. She could imitate that painting and ensure that the imitation was no worse than the fake. Although she was not an art student, she studied painting at the age of five and had painted for twenty years.
For a young person, his skills are quite deep.
Just as he said, Yu Zhi locked himself in the room for the whole day, and went out the next day with the painting. This painting was enough to exchange Yu Zhi for 600 taels of silver.
The reason why it was sold at such a high price was a coincidence. He met the nouveau riche from last time. He was looking for a famous imitation painting to give to his uncle, and he immediately fell in love with the one in Yu Zhi's hand.
Bought it for a high price.
As for whether it is an authentic painting, well, they are not scholars, so they don’t care whether it is authentic or not, aren’t they all the same paintings? As long as they can be read, that’s enough!
Besides, how much money does it cost to buy an authentic work? Wouldn’t it be better to use it to buy land and open a shop?
When they got the banknote back, Mother Jiang and Yingying were shocked.
"Girl, which painting is this for?" Yingying looked at Yu Zhi with enthusiasm in her eyes.
Six hundred taels! She had to save for decades even if she didn’t eat or drink. The girl earned it just by painting a random painting. Oh my God! Oh my God! She must be the God of Wealth!
After Mother Jiang was shocked, she was so happy that she kept chanting Amitabha. She even had the thought in her heart: If the girl is so capable, even if she doesn't get into the Houfu in the end, she can still marry into a good family.
Yu Zhi didn't care what they were thinking and wrote Zhang Fangzi to ask Mother Jiang to buy the medicinal materials.
The money that hadn't been warmed up was spent like water. Mother Jiang felt distressed, but when she thought that it was for the girl's health, she didn't feel distressed anymore.
The girl can write and draw, and she also has a secret recipe for making money. If she can earn one six hundred taels, she can earn more six hundred taels.
Alas, how could such a good girl end up like this if her family wasn't in a bad situation?
It’s also pitiful!
After taking a medicinal bath, Yu Zhi felt much more relaxed all over, and every pore was soothed. When practicing the sword, his movements were no longer as sluggish as before. There was a warm current in his Dantian, and he was able to gather Qi.
As she leaped forward, the remaining branches in the courtyard almost blended into the night. With a thought, she reached the roof and landed silently.
Facing the evening breeze, Yu Zhi felt relaxed.
At this point, she was truly relieved to be in a different world.
Well, starting tomorrow, she can lie down and enjoy a good life with peace of mind.
