Chapter 46 46 Start

Li Yu went out from Li Mei's house to the village chief's house. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sitting on the defensive line in the courtyard. Li Yu greeted with a smile, "Sister, is Aunt Li at home?"

The girl raised her head and gave Li Yu a blank look, "Who is your sister? How do I know if she is here?"

Li Yu ignored her when she saw her attitude, and called into the room, "Aunt Li, are you at home?"

"Who is it?" Mrs. Li came out of the stove and saw Li Yu, and greeted him at the door, "Xiaoyu! Come in and sit down."

Li Yu took Mrs. Li to the door and said to Mrs. Li, "Aunt Li, I would like to ask you to come to my house in two days to help me with some needlework. The wages are tentatively set at fifteen cents a day. Do you have any skills? "

Mrs. Li smiled a little embarrassedly, "There is some kung fu, but my aunt is not very good at sewing, and only does some simple chores."

"Aunt Li, it's okay, everyone's work is different, as long as you can sew the lines straight and firmly."

Mrs. Li smiled after hearing it, "I thought you had to do those meticulous work, and I would have no problem with these tasks, then I'll go, you can call me when the time comes."

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Li Yu came out of the village chief's house and walked towards the house.

Mr. Li sent Li Yu away and turned around and entered the yard. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a sneer, "Humph! You are talking ill of me outside again!"

Mrs. Li walked up to her and looked at her and said, "Baozhen, what have you done to be sorry to me? Look at your sour and mean look when you are so guilty."

Chen Baozhen threw the twine and stood up, sneering and pointing at Li's nose, "You and that little **** Li Yu are murmuring outside, aren't you talking bad about me? Is it possible that you will still talk about me? kind words?"

"Don't point your fingers," Li slapped Chen Baozhen's hand away with a slap and sneered at her, "Look at how you look like a big girl? You're just a bitch."

Chen Baozhen pushed Mrs. Li, "You shrew, who do you call a shrew? You think I don't know that you all wish that my mother and I were both dead, so you are happy."

Chen Yaohui, Chen Yaozu, the village head, and Mrs. Liu all ran out of the house. Chen Yaohui walked over and pulled Mrs. Li behind him, frowning and looking at Chen Baozhen, "Who asked you to talk to your sister-in-law like this?"

Liu Shi clapped his hands and cried, "Baozhen's father, they can't tolerate me and Baozhen! Woo, woo..."

Chen Yaozu looked at Liu Shi dissatisfiedly, "What are you talking about? It's obviously Baozhen..."

'Pong', the village chief was so angry that he lifted the bench and fell to the ground, "Shut up, don't you just want to split up the family! Split, split today."

Everyone was stunned, the village chief looked at Chen Yaozu exhaustedly, "Go and call your uncle and the others to preside over the separation, so as not to watch you fight like black-eyed chickens every day, I still want to live a few more years."

Li Yu didn't know that she left the village chief's house soon after the village chief's house broke up, and she was still busy preparing for the processing of schoolbags at home. Li Yu moved the bed in the wing room to the inner room, and vacated the wing room with good light outside for processing.

The next morning, Liu Changmin and two craftsmen painted Li Yu's house.

Qian looked at the whitewashed house and sighed, "Xiaoyu, you see this house is also dressed up like a human being, this whitewashed house is bright."

"Well." Li Yu also felt that the room looked a lot brighter.

The two cleaned up the house, Li Yu took the Miao Xi and spread it in the wing, Qian Shi made a few straw mats with straw and placed them on the Miao Xi, looking at the newly furnished room and nodded with satisfaction, "Sit like this. Don't be afraid of the cold."

The next day, Liu Changmin went to the carpenter's house, pulled the chopping board back, placed it in the wing, everything was ready, and waited for Zhou Jia to bring the fabric.

Just after noon, it was dark and a strong wind was blowing. Xiao An came back from the outside with the cow, entered the yard and shouted to Li Yu: "Sister Li, they are pulling something."

When Li Yu went out, he saw that Jixiang was leading two mule carts to the door. Jixiang got out of the car and handed a list to Li Yu and said, "Miss Li, take a count. Needle, thread and muslin, tung oil and coarse cloth made by Ruyi, those tea seeds squeezed more than 400 catties of oil and sent half of them back to you.”

"Okay! Thank you, let's move in first!" Li Yu took the manifest and looked at it. It said 60 pieces of dark coarse cloth, 1 piece of 600 wen, and 20 pieces each of cyan, brown and dark blue. Pieces, nine hundred cents a piece, and rags... The price of each item is clearly marked.

Li Yu counted the goods, Jixiang said to Li Yu: "Young master said that you don't need to worry, it's better to do more slowly."

"Okay, I understand." Li Yu sent Jixiang away, went back to the house and took a stack of paper and cut it into a running account book, and then asked Xiao An to go to Li Mei's house to invite Liu Changmin and Li Mei to come over, and everyone helped to brush out the tung oil cloth. .

After Xiao An left, Li Yu took the machete and went to the bamboo forest. The strong wind blew the bamboo up and down. Li Yu took a look at the sky and thought it was going to change.

Li Yu cut a bundle of bamboo and carried it home. Li Mei and his wife had already arrived. Li Yu said to Liu Changmin, "Uncle, we forgot to set up two rows of racks to dry the cloth."

"Now it's too late." Liu Changmin brought a machete and shaved the bamboo smooth with Li Yu, while Qian Shi and Li Mei washed and dried the bamboo.

Li Yu and Liu Changmin set up two rows of bamboo frames under the eaves porch. After the bamboo frames were set up, they carried a few drying mats and spread them under the bamboo frames. Dry on a bamboo rack.

Li Mei took out the pattern and began to cut the muslin. Qian made the paste. Li Yu and Zhao Di and her brushed the paste on the top of the cloth, and laid them flat on the door panel to start making cloth. shell.

Liu Changmin burned the charcoal pot and put it in the wing room, and smiled at Li Mei: "The charcoal from Xiaoyu's fire has piled up half the firewood room, and the firewood chopped by Ah Qing has piled up under the eaves behind, these two The kids are really reassuring.”

Li Mei sighed, "Most children without parents are sensible, and who can rely on them if they don't rely on themselves!"

After the tarpaulin was dry, Li Yu began to cut the tarpaulin. The aunts and nephews cut two pieces of each color of cloth. Li Yu calculated that one piece of cloth could be cut into thirteen or four packs, and then calculated the cost. A school bag plus labor costs 135 cents, a large travel bag costs a little more than 200 cents, and a medium size is about 160 cents. If it can sell for four or five hundred cents on average, except for Expense profit is still considerable.

After the cost was calculated, Li Yu was full of confidence in making bags. It was already dark when the cloth was cut and it started to rain when Li Mei's family returned home.

The next day, Li Mei called Li and everyone started work. Li and Li Yu were responsible for making the straps and hemming. Li Mei and Zhao Di stitched together. Qian was responsible for embroidering two knots on the lower left corner of each bag. Micro Bamboo is used as a logo for the bag.

Several people worked together, and on the first day, they made three pieces of cloth and made dozens of bags. On the second day, Jixiang sent two carts of cloth and materials, and took away a few school bags and travel bags.

Li Yu and Jixiang handed over the goods and cut them together with Li Mei. After one day, everyone became more and more comfortable. It took about ten days to make the first batch of sixty pieces of cloth into school bags, travel bags, etc. Bag.

Li Yu asked Li Qing to bring a letter to Zhou Jia and let him come and try the goods. Zhou Jia replied that he should ask Li Yu to make more, and make eight or nine hundred of each color and appearance, and then he asked Li Yu to make more. people to pull.

Li Yu felt right after hearing it. After all, this thing is easy to imitate. Just buy one and take it apart and make it as it is.
