When Yan Zhengxin saw Miss Yang Daya dressed up, he was convinced, "If it is to be given to her husband's family as a dowry, I suggest that it be made more delicate. You can carve some flowers, plants, insects and birds, and apply a layer of varnish to prevent the wood from mold and rot. If it takes longer, the price will be more expensive.”
Yang Daya pursed her lips and asked cautiously: "How much does it cost for the ordinary ones? How much does it cost for the ones with carved patterns and varnish?"
Yan Zhengxin glanced at Jiang Ning and said: "Unprocessed beds, the ones with better materials range from 300 to 500 yuan, and the cheaper ones are more than 100 and 200 yuan, but I don't recommend it. The dowry is at least It would take more than three hundred articles to be decent.
Including carving and painting, it will cost an additional 150 to 200 yuan, depending on whether the carving is complicated. "
“I” Yang Daya was a little hesitant.
Jiang Ning said slowly: "You only get married once in your life. At this time, there is no point in worrying about the two hundred yuan. Just go with the best, and I will make up for the missing ones. After all, you have been digging bamboo shoots for me for so long. I I should also give you some makeup.
In addition to the bed, give her a wardrobe and a dressing table. Let her choose the style. If she doesn't know how to choose, you can just carve some auspicious paintings.
I want to customize a crib, a cradle, and a baby chair. If you can do it, I also want a large baby mobile bed, two and a half meters wide and two and a half meters long, which can be disassembled. Assemble. "
Jiang Ning told Yan Zhengxin carefully about his thoughts.
This was the first time Yan Zhengxin had received such a job, and he was very interested. After carefully writing down Jiang Ning's request, he mused: "According to your request, this movable bed needs to use bamboo, and we need to weave additional bamboo mats. My father can do it. It just might take a little longer.”
Jiang Ning smiled lightly and shook his head, "It doesn't matter. You make the child's dowry first, and then you can do my work after you finish. I can pay the deposit first for the total amount."
Yan Zhengxin nodded solemnly, "You know my father and you helped him a lot, so I will earn you a salary and material money, a three-piece dowry set, which is 1,700 yuan for you, and 100 yuan for the crib. Thirty cents for a baby chair, thirty cents for a cradle, and three hundred cents for a portable bed.”
“What if we apply varnish again?” Jiang Ning asked.
Yan Zhengxin rubbed his chin and thought, "Then add another hundred yuan. Many of the things you want are bamboo. The materials cost nothing. If you use solid wood, it will definitely be more expensive."
His words were also explained to Yang Daya.
Jiang Ning directly paid one-third of the deposit and took Yang Daya back.
On the way she asked: "Are the materials for the wedding ready?"
"Not yet" Yang Daya was a little absent-minded, and Jiang Ning said nothing more.
Not long after she returned, Mrs. Li came and took out three taels of silver. "Da Ya just told me that you are willing to subsidize it because of your kindness, but the child can't feel sorry for subsidizing so much. "Two taels, I'll make up another tael, take it, and get some bright red material for her to make clothes and bedding. Just buy it as you go, no need to buy more."
Jiang Ning responded.
I found some free time and went to Songxi Town, and went straight to Anhuang Lang’s house.
When entering the door, Jiang Ning found that Grandma An and Mrs. Hu had normal expressions. It was obvious that they didn't know anything about the An family's big house.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and explained her purpose.
Mrs. Hu immediately went into the house and got a bunch of red materials for her, using all kinds of materials.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
Mrs. Hu covered her mouth and snickered, "Yongliang said that some patterns embroidered on red cloth are easier to sell than materials of other colors. He has learned so much for me in one go. I have been embroidering all day long. Take a look, both summer cloth and winter cloth are available." Yes, it's not expensive. One foot of winter cloth will cost you fifteen cents, and summer cloth will cost you ten cents. "Jiang Ning was a little surprised, "Is this missing again?"
Mrs. Hu shook her head, "How can there be so many leaks! It was Yongliang who caught the eye of a cloth merchant. In addition to the fabric business, the cloth merchant also sold game. He accepted our products, so he gave us a lower purchase price. All the materials were Good stuff, no flaws.”
Jiang Ning looked at it and nodded with satisfaction. According to Li's request, all 1,300 yuan was used to buy materials. Jiang Ning asked for fifty feet of winter cloth and fifty-five feet of summer cloth. These materials were enough for her to make clothes and quilts. .
Since Yang Daya didn't want her to spend money, she bought some copper hairpins with beads and flowers to add makeup. The total cost was only fifty yuan.
She is satisfied, and Mrs. Hu is also happy.
When Jiang Ning put the materials in front of Li and Yang Daya, both of them were dumbfounded.
“Old, my dear, I’ll use the money I gave you to make a three-piece suit. I can’t buy so many materials! Are you filling in again?” Li felt a headache. How much money would have to be filled in!
Jiang Ning felt funny in her heart, "Mommy, I haven't filled it up. One foot of summer cloth is ten cents, and one foot of winter cloth is fifteen cents. Calculate whether you have exceeded it."
“It’s so cheap! Impossible!” Li didn’t believe it even to death.
Yang Daya also looked suspicious.
Jiang Ning shrugged, "I'm serious, but this price is a favor price given to me, and I don't make any money, so don't go around shouting about it."
“Really?” Li was still doubtful.
With a sincere look on his face, Jiang Ning took out the two beaded flowers and two copper hairpins he bought. "It's more real than real gold and platinum! Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought this separately. Let's play with it!"
She pushed the thing in front of Yang Daya.
Mrs. Li believed it now. Although the boss spent a lot of money, she was not a big advantage. If she really wanted to add more money, she would definitely not buy these things again. After all, Da Ya was not her biological daughter.
When Yang Daya saw the jewelry, her nose was sour and her eyes were red. She silently put the things away and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Which woman can refuse a beautiful headdress? The beads and the copper hairpin are both very delicate and beautiful, and it seems that they were carefully selected. She has never had her own headdress in her whole life. No, she probably has never even touched it.
Grandparents and grandson left happily holding the materials.
The villagers keep everything simple when getting married. The wedding dress only needs to be bright red, and there is no need to pay attention to any patterns. If there is no bright red or even pink, it will be fine.
With Mrs. Zhou and several village women busy, it only took five days to make all the wedding attire, new clothes and bedding.
Another half month later, Yan Zhengxin and his son delivered Yang Daya's three-piece dowry set, which caused quite a stir in the village. All the women who were preparing to get married or were about to marry a daughter-in-law rushed to the door to have a look. Carpenter Yan was full of praise for his craftsmanship.
Mrs. Zhang murmured regretfully: "If I had known you could still do such tricks, I would have made a plan for whatever you wanted!"
Pangzi sneered at the side, "Even if I knew it at the beginning, you wouldn't dare to do it! Only now that I have some money can I confidently say such a thing! It's okay, my son and daughter-in-law won't need it, but my grandson will definitely use it in the future!"
Everyone laughed.
