exile? She emptied the emperor's private treasury and escaped from famine
Chapter 186 Making money by doing handicrafts
On the day after the notification, Xu Lizheng led the junior officials in charge of farming affairs in the border army to the surrounding mountain shape where Wei Chuyu and others lived temporarily to conduct land measurements.
The dug well had been covered with cloth at a deeper level, covered with loess, and flattened so that no one could see it. Shen Cuihua was guarding the area to prevent anyone from stepping on it.
None of the other young women came out, and I don't know what kind of virtue these border guards are.
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Lin used unfiltered water to brew a pot of crude tea for them, and then placed some small dried fruits and small wine.
The officer drank wine and ate good food, while the soldiers below held the rope to measure.
By the time they finished measuring the forty acres of land in front of the mountain, the officer was so drunk that his face turned red, and he was talking about how important and prestigious he was in the army.
At this time, Lin Xiuyuan, who was entrusted by the Nan family, promptly proposed to buy the land on the mountain.
However, he put it cleverly: "You are so powerful, doesn't it mean that if we want to buy this mountain, you can make the decision?"
"Mountains, hum," the officer said, stroking his belly, "The mountains here are not unusual, so what if I sell them to you?"
"Can you still turn this barren mountain into a paradise?"
The officer was surprised to even buy this gentle land in front of the mountain. After all, no one wanted these lands if they were given to people who knew the situation of this place!
It is completely useless, it will choke your throat if you eat it, and it should be discarded.
I don’t know how these people who were exiled from the capital came to like these barren lands? Even going to the village to fetch water is hard work. Don’t they know it doesn’t rain here all year round?
Otherwise, their border troops would have cleared this place long ago!
It's simply ignorant Qingqi, with a bag in his head!
Thinking that they had already settled down, I took back all the kind reminders.
Lin Xiuyuan tried to say: "Then why not just... measure the mountain together."
The soldiers below looked at the leader and saw that he didn't say anything. Xia Ziming served delicious food to these soldiers again. Although the tea was crudely made, he would be more diligent in serving it to them.
Anyway, they had someone to serve them, so the soldiers gave them a foot test on the side of the mountain, made a rough estimate, and overpaid.
At this time, Nan Zhihe, who had discussed with Wei Chuyu in advance, did not care about it anymore. After all, it was not surprising that Emperor Xingcheng was mediocre and followed what he preached.
Otherwise, they are still unwilling to do it.
The most important thing is to get the mountain land early, raise it, and plant it in the spring next year.
Wei Chuyu, who was peeking in the tent, was also happy, thinking that the man was really drunk, no matter what he thought, he relaxed anyway.
Just be willing to sell to them!
She couldn't help but think, fortunately, this land was under the control of the border army. If he went to the county town to apply for the title deed, Xue Wei would probably have to intervene, which would be really difficult!
Then, a total of five people, Nan Zhihe, Nan Zheze, Lin Xiuyuan, and Xia Ziming, brought their silver coins and went through the formalities with the returning officers.
When they left, the officer glanced at their wine bottles. Nan Zhize knew better, so he brought him a few bottles of good wine, and then the man walked back.
The women came out of the tent and started cooking. They placed the pot directly on the loess stove. The hollow in the middle could be used to put firewood, which was very convenient.
The ashes from burned fires can be collected for many uses, such as mixing with excrement and urine to water vegetables. Shen Cuihua said that the vegetables will grow longer.
Wei Chuyu thought, this is probably the best farm fertilizer!
During this period, Wei Chuyu also pulled back the wood and made a long table, just like a kitchen counter. It was very convenient for the women to knead noodles, cut vegetables and wash vegetables on it.
In addition, it is also equipped with overlapping round wooden stools, which are very convenient to take. Everyone thinks Chu Yu’s idea is wonderful, and they all say that there are no stools in the world that can be stacked and stored in this way.
Wei Chuyu modestly said that she had seen it in a book, and said that if there were no trees here, she would open a wood-making workshop (furniture factory).
Everyone felt a little bit regretful.
On weekdays, at this table, the men are busy digging wells, and Wei Chuyu guides the women to use glass, pearls, gem fragments, velvet flowers and gold pieces to make decorations.
There was a machine in the space medical room that drilled holes and pulled bones. She thought that was too scary, so she used her powers to modify it and made it into a machine that drilled holes.
She preferred the transparent glass bottles that contained wine and drinks in the last days. She took out the polishing tools and called Mrs. Cheng, Xia Ruodan, Sun Qingman, the wife of the Lin family, and Lin Xiuyuan's daughter Qiao Pan to do the work and polish them into small pendants.
Guard Chu Yu punched holes in the ground glass like those pearls and gem fragments.
Then let them wear beads and make them into various headdresses, necklaces, wrist chains and finger chains according to her requirements...
What is different from others is that the ancient method of drilling beads is very labor-intensive and not necessarily accurate, but hers is not the same. Furthermore, hers has the metal power to pull out very thin wires from iron or copper. These wires are used Especially good for wearing beads and jewelry!
Moreover, Wei Chuyu has painting skills and masters modern color matching techniques such as Morandi colors or various color systems. He can make the accessories elegant but not vulgar. I believe he can win this ancient market!
After Wei Chuyu's guidance, the women and sisters, who had never done anything before and were particularly unsure at first, did not do it well at first, but now their techniques are mature——
The two ladies of the Lin family picked up pearl necklaces or rings and compared them with each other, their eyes showing affection.
"Don't talk about the people outside, I like them all when I see them."
Mrs. Lin held a pearl and a glass necklace polished like crystal beads in both hands, and touched it to her neck, shining it into the bronze mirror on the table, and couldn't put it down.
Mrs. Lin looked at the exquisite pearl flower ring on her middle finger and said, "This is even more beautiful than the pearls from the famous Feiyu Hall in Beijing."
Xia Ruodan and Qiaopan even tried on each other's hairpins, looking at each other even more handsome, smiling and looking silly.
"It's a pity that it's not suitable for work." Mrs. Lin sighed and put down the necklace in her hand.
"Yeah, it's more important to be alive!" Lin Erniang also took off the ring.
During the production process, of course Wei Chuyu asked them to take one they liked. Everyone knew the goods. Such good materials said it was too extravagant and expensive, so it was better to exchange them for money.
Xia Ruodan and Lin Qiaopan also took off the hairpins on their heads and said politely: "This looks beautiful every day, why do you need to wear it again?"
Wei Chuyu saw everyone suppressing their love and said encouragingly: "If the sales are good, then I will use some leftover materials as a reward for everyone's workmanship!"
The eyes of several people suddenly lit up when they heard this, but then dimmed quickly.
"Chu Yu, please don't." They all waved their hands.
Having tasted the ups and downs of life, Mrs. Lin said on behalf of everyone: "These all require capital. You have already calculated the wages for us all, so you can't spend any more!
The days are still long, and there will be many places in need of money in the future. "
"Yes, Chu Yu, don't do that!" Mrs. Lin who was beside her also said.
She had bad eyesight and couldn't do such a small job, so she stayed with them to make some fun.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "My sisters and I have discussed it. Everything is possible. If others don't look down on us, it means we are clumsy. Chu Yu doesn't want to pay us wages. Just treat us as learning a craft and pay them off." time."
"Yes!" Several people agreed.
Thinking of what they said, Wei Chuyu felt that she had really found the right partner, although the purpose of arranging these arrangements was to make some money for the Lin Xia family, and their Nan family's money had a source.
Wei Chuyu was further determined in her heart that she would make a fortune with these people who could think about her, and her words were worthy of their words!
