Chu Shouli looked in disbelief, "What do you think of that rat-tail flower? How can one flower be sold for a hundred coins?"
After receiving Chu Ran's affirmative answer, he was pleasantly surprised, "My daughter is still very good. A silk flower can be sold for a hundred coins, which is more than what I earn from a day's work."
Chu Ning said, "That's different. There is also the cost of materials in this hundred yuan. Those silk cloths and silk threads are not cheap. Besides, doing this is a delicate job. If you don't have the patience, you can't do it at all. You also need to be clever.
, I don’t have any designs in my shop, and if I don’t have some new designs, it will be difficult to sell them, let alone get such a good price.”
Her words made Chu Shouli nod his head repeatedly, "It's true that no matter how good your craftsmanship is, it will be difficult to get ahead if you don't have new ideas."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh, "However, if you have a good craft, you will never go hungry no matter what. It is much better than dad doing hard work like this."
Thinking of this, he marveled at the ingenuity of his girls even more, "It's a good thing you guys didn't have clumsy hands like your father, otherwise you would have to do menial jobs."
Chu Ning couldn't help but laugh when he heard what he said. Who would say that to him? "Dad used to either work in the fields or do odd jobs in the town. He didn't have time to learn anything. It's not a matter of clumsiness."
After hearing these words of comfort, Chu Shouli felt that his daughter was the one who could enlighten others. He smiled and said, "At my age, it's too late to learn anything. I can only work hard to earn some hard money. But as long as you can live a good life,
My father is happier than just making money."
As he said this, he did not forget to praise Mrs. Qin, "Your mother is also better than me. I'm scared when I look at such a complicated loom. I really don't dare to touch it. Your mother actually spent the entire afternoon learning from someone."
You can start by yourself, and you can actually weave cloth, which is really amazing. Well, it seems that you guys just followed her and you all have skillful hands."
Faced with this sudden compliment, Mrs. Qin was stunned. After reacting, her face turned red with excitement.
After so many years, so many years since she married into the Chu family, this is the first time that her husband has praised her so much.
Or in front of the children.
And he lifted her up so high.
Ah, so excited.
Chu Ning saw Qin's changes and couldn't help but feel a little funny. It turns out that no matter how old a woman is, she likes to be praised.
Chu Shouli kept sighing, saying that he was lucky, his wife and children could do it, and they were all better than him.
He is really happy.
Not just for the money.
Mainly, I feel that everyone in the family is working hard to make money and live a better life. The positive and progressive energy is so touching.
While he was proud and proud, he also felt a little guilty, "It's all because of my father, otherwise there would be no need for you to start making money to support the family at such a young age..."
Chu Ning glanced at him and frowned in thought.
Originally, she wanted to buy a village and let him take care of it, but after knowing that the world would be in chaos, she gave up the idea and didn't even say anything.
She also knew that he worked hard, but she thought that he was not a business person and had no expertise, so she did not help with any ideas and left it all to him.
There is no shortage of money in her hands to provide food and drink for the family. It doesn't matter how much or how little he earns.
But now that he's like this, it's hard to ignore him.
"Dad, can you make a kite?"
Chu Shouli was stunned, "Kite?"
"It's the paper kite."
Chu Shouli said, "Although I haven't done it before, it shouldn't be difficult to make. I will make a few when I have some time. You can just have fun."
Chu Ning smiled and said, "I heard that every year on March 3rd, everyone will take their children to go outing in the mountains and forests in the west of the city. Even the students from the academy will join in the fun. Anyway, there are so many people, and smart vendors will prepare in advance.
If you sell good products there, you can make a lot of money in one day."
Chu Shouli didn't think about it, "Well, you can also play then, just be careful not to be crowded..."
Mrs. Qin suddenly called her, "Ms. sir, that's not what my daughter meant."
"Ah? What does that mean..."
After asking, Chu Shouli turned around and looked at Chu Ning in disbelief, "Daughter, you don't want dad to sell kites, do you? No, no, dad has never done that..."
"You can learn if you haven't done it before. Look, mother, I haven't even touched a loom before, but now I can learn to weave. I'm just making a paper kite. How can it be more difficult than operating a loom?"
Chu Shouli was still there, but he hesitated, but Chu Ning made the decision directly, "Let's do it like this. I will be responsible for designing the patterns and keeping the ones that are not available on the market. As long as the paper kites are interesting, it doesn't matter even if the workmanship is not that fine.
Anyway, it’s just a toy to entertain children, and no one cares about it that much.”
Qin and Chu Jing all looked at Chu Shouli eagerly, making him excited and nervous at the same time, "Dad, are you ready?"
"It works, why can't it work? If dad is really not confident, he can find a master to learn from mom."
"Ah? Well, it's March 3rd in a month. The masters who make paper kites must be very busy. How can they have time to teach me?"
Chu Ning thought the same thing. For a shop that specializes in this business, this is the busiest time of the year. It's too late to compete for the best work. How can they have the time to teach an outsider.
He is still an outsider who wants to steal business from them.
It was so hard for them to pass on their cooking skills.
Chu Ning blinked. Competitors can't teach, but partners can always teach for the sake of common interests.
Hehe, it's time to practice your father's abilities.
"Dad, let me draw some pictures for you. Tomorrow you can take these pictures to the shop, show them to the shopkeeper, and tell them that we can cooperate with him and provide them with some unique patterns.
It’s guaranteed to make a huge profit, but we don’t want too much and only share 30% of the profit.
But there is another condition, that is, you must be taught how to make paper kites step by step. Of course, time is tight. There is no time to learn such complicated crafts, and there is no need. We will not fight for them. We will make small paper kites and sell them specifically to children.
It doesn’t need to be big or complicated, it just needs to be fun and interesting.”
Chu Ning is going to make some small animals, including cartoon ones, cute and cute ones. Most children can't refuse a cute, interesting and strange toy. Moreover, it is the annual outing festival, so it is rare to bring one.
When children go out to play, adults don't care about spending money.
After all, those who can take their children out to play have similar family backgrounds.
The more Chu Ning thought about it, the more he felt that this business was feasible.
But there are risks.
Yan Wenjin hinted that the situation after death will be chaotic.
I'm afraid something will go wrong before March 3rd.
The kites are placed outside the city, which is different from opening a shop in the city. If there is chaos outside, the city gate will be closed. In that case, won't things be smashed into your hands?
Chu Ning...
Impulsive.
"Okay, okay, that's a good idea!"
Chu Shouli believed deeply in Chu Ning's words. Whatever she said she could do, she would definitely do, so he was full of confidence. "Don't worry, my dear, I will definitely get this done and I will never hold you back."
Chu Ning...
Well, the atmosphere has been changed by her, so why not look back, let's just roll up our sleeves and do it.
If you really can't leave the city then, you can think of other ways.
