attack stream of life

All the rabbits in Qingchuan were sold out on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, not even a single expensive rabbit doll was left.It is always easy to lose your mind during festivals, especially when there are fur children and wives around, men are more generous, and the wives who are always preoccupied will be more relaxed.

The wooden ornaments and small paper lanterns on the side are also selling very well, and the two bosses' mouths are almost crooked.

Qingchuan sold out his things and didn't want to go for a stroll. The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival was crowded with people, passing each other. He brought a small cart and a box of copper coins. It was really hard to join in the fun, so he returned home early.In the end, I just bought a small lantern in the shape of a rabbit, and went to a pastry shop to buy local mooncakes, counting it as the festival.

The mooncakes are crispy mooncakes filled with five kernels, sprinkled with a layer of white sesame seeds, and dotted with a red dot in the middle, with the meaty aroma of lard, sweet, soft and crispy, and crispy with nuts.He really didn't understand how the five-nut mooncakes were hacked like that. In terms of taste and appearance, they were actually quite good.

The mooncakes, which are as big as an adult's palm, are cut into six pieces. A thin layer of paper is placed on the plate, and the mooncakes are placed on top, so that the crumbs fall on the paper, which is easier to clean up.The store's fillings are relatively sweet, so Qing Chuan made a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and slowly ate the mooncakes with the light tea fragrance.

"Hey, mooncakes are more delicious with tea. While admiring the autumn moonlight, while tasting festive food, it feels very festive."

"Your tone is really like a grandfather." The system couldn't help complaining.

"Can young people only have fried chicken with beer? You are prejudiced!"

Qingchuan ate five pieces of mooncakes in a row, and hiccupped, "There is one piece left, let's have it for breakfast tomorrow." He cleared the table, wrapped the remaining piece of mooncake in paper, covered it to prevent mice from stealing it, and washed it. I fell asleep after that.

He slept very deeply, and woke up the next day after a long day. He put on his coat and went to the kitchen to boil hot water and breakfast in a daze.It took a lot of thought to go out and do business for several days, but when I was free, I couldn't help but sleep in.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the Double Ninth Festival. You can start making clay figurines that symbolize the longevity of the elderly, such as Shouxianweng and Magu. The cute ones can be molded completely. To make bigger and more complicated ones, you have to use bamboo strips to make bones, and add cotton wool to the clay to make them. Meat, so that it is not easy to spoil and crack.While brushing his teeth, Qing Chuan calculated how much time he had left for preparations.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that it would be best to just make the master model this afternoon.

"Two months after the Double Ninth Festival is the Spring Festival, a big day for making money, then the Lantern Festival, the Shangsi Festival in March, the Qingming Festival in April, the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and the Qixi Festival in July...a year is a cycle, and there is almost no time for rest. Ancient times It’s really super unfriendly to lazy people, I almost forgot what it’s like to stay up late to cultivate the immortal liver game.”

During the Double Ninth Festival, Qingchuan made another wave, and the two successes had already made the craftsmen in the city notice him, even the local ruffians.Qing Chuan went to his former father-in-law's house. Although the marriage failed, they were still relatives, uncle and nephew. As the head of the yamen, the uncle had contacts with many people, and he still had some face on the street. Qing Chuan left This time, there were a lot fewer hooligans who came to him to fight the autumn wind.

Qingchuan is promising, my cousin still feels relieved.The daughter in the family looked down on this cousin and refused to marry, and he couldn't force her to death, so he had to feel sorry for his nephew.Some people have guilt in their hearts, and they can't help killing them all. As long as the object of guilt disappears, there will be no guilt.Some people feel guilty, so they can't help but make up for it. Whether it's money or favors, they have to pay back to feel at ease.

Thankfully, cousin is the second type.

At the beginning, Qingchuan was prepared to face the worst case of "killing them all", but he didn't expect to find that the old couple were easy to deal with and had a strong sense of morality when they met.Qingchuan belongs to the rootless duckweed in the provincial capital, but his cousin is a local snake here. Offending the local snake will not do him any good. If he makes friends well, it will be beneficial to his long-term development here.

Clay figurines, if they go to underdeveloped areas, where food and clothing are still difficult, where will the consumer market come from?Therefore, Qingchuan must take root in the provincial capital to have a future. If he returns to the countryside in desperation, the difficulty of completing the task will have to be raised several levels.

The last worry disappeared, and Qingchuan was determined to live in this small city.

He saved more than 30 taels of silver in his hand, not much, but it was enough to repair the house.

His land occupies almost an acre, and he is alone, and he is not planning to marry a wife and have children. There is no need to build many houses, so he plans to demolish all the original ones, and build three main rooms and two side rooms facing south, and the one on the left A side room is used as the kitchen, the workshop is adjacent to the kitchen, and a cellar is built under the workshop to store the made mud bricks.The main room in the middle is the main room, where you usually eat and entertain guests.The room on the right can be used for people, and the side room is used as a guest room.

There is a small yard of [-] to [-] square meters in the back, which can be used for a hut and woodshed.The firewood room needs to be large, because he needs a lot of firewood to make a kiln for firing clay figurines.Then build a pergola with a shelf underneath to dry the mud embryos in the shade.

The front yard can be 60 square meters, and the mud bricks were dried with mud.It turned out that a small kiln had to be built in the place of the inverted house, and the requirements for calcination of clay figurines were not so high, so they could be fired even at home, but it was unbearably hot to do so in summer.Fortunately, this place is remote, and there was a fire again. Now there is only one house nearby, and the nearest neighbors are [-] meters apart, and no one protests.

When the craftsmen were repairing the house with green bricks, Qing Chuan made clay figurines in the yard. At first they were chubby Fuwa.By the time the craftsmen finished laying the roof tiles, all the Fuwa clay figurines in Qingchuan had already been painted.In December, the houses and kilns were completed, and the second batch of Fuwas took shape.

Different from the clay figurine dolls that always have the same smiling face sold outside, Qingchuan’s Fuwa dolls have more unique shapes.

They also have many small props, some holding a fat carp, some holding a mini gold abacus, some holding a book, some holding a pen, some holding a handkerchief embroidery needle, and some holding a big rice bowl.There are even mermaid Fuwa with very fairy tale characteristics, Thumbelina growing out of flowers, and elves with small wings...

The latter types have relatively high requirements for styling, and they must be dried in the shade and then fired in a kiln at high temperature until pottery, so as to ensure that those fragile and delicate waves, petals, and wings will not fall off with a single movement.

Qing Chuan always adds whatever he thinks of, as long as he thinks it is cute and has the desire to buy it, he will make a re-modeled mold.

After having a kiln, his desire to create became stronger, and he even made a set of clay toys for girls to play with.It is a complete kitchen with three walls, a chest of drawers hanging, a stove, a large iron pot, a casserole, a kettle, various kitchen utensils and tableware, and a stone mill, water tank, rice pounder, and tables and benches.It is incomparable with modern handicrafts, and it is not childlike.

In order to match this kitchen toy, he also made a family of seven in matching sizes, including grandparents, parents, older brothers, younger sisters, and a fat baby in swaddling clothes.

"According to this idea, next year I can make clay figurines of the dormitory series, the farming series, and the play series." Qing Chuan gave himself a thumbs up silently.

He has to go back to his hometown for the New Year, and his parents are still there. As long as he is not married, even if the family is separated, he has to go to his parents for the New Year. This is a local custom.

Going out in this era is not as convenient as it is in later generations, the roads are not easy to walk, and not every place has an inn that provides accommodation, so be prepared to stay overnight in someone else's house or temple.Fortunately, the provincial capital is not too far from my hometown in the countryside. It takes about four or five days to travel, and it will be faster if I have a car.But the car is too expensive, even if you go to a car dealer to rent it, it will cost two to thirty taels a month.

Qingchuan went to find people who were in the same situation as him. They didn't all live together, but they went home in the same direction.The final agreement was to leave on the [-]th day.There were nine of them, five of them were young and strong, and one family was with a family. But his family provided a bullock cart, and Qing Chuan and others could put their luggage on the bullock cart.

Qing Chuan felt that he had to save money to buy a donkey and walk for four days, but he couldn't even think about this kind of cloth shoes and this kind of rough road.His feet will probably be scrapped, or hemorrhoids will be worn out, Qing Chuan feels that his feet hurt even thinking about it.

There was still time, ten days before leaving, and he had already made two sets of Fuwa, and there must be thousands of them, filling the yard.He can no longer sell it by himself, which is a waste of time. One day of selling dolls is enough for him to make a few mother embryos.So Qingchuan wholesaled these dolls to several shops in the city.

They are sold separately according to different styles, and each store has several unique styles, which will not cause internal vicious competition.The modeled Fuwa is sold at a wholesale price of three Wen, and the store can increase one or two Wen on this basis.The more exquisite, kiln-fired molded clay dolls are priced at five yuan each for wholesale, and eight yuan for retail.

There are not many handmade kiln-fired dolls in hand, and they are specially provided to a high-end handicraft store in the commercial area. There is no maximum price, only the minimum price. As long as it exceeds the minimum price, no matter what price the store sells, Qingchuan Take seven floors, and the store takes three floors.

Qingchuan's set of kitchen toys for a family of seven was the first to receive good news. The shopkeeper said that someone bought it the next day after it was put up.Coupled with other scattered income, on the nineteenth day, Qing Chuan already had more than eight taels of silver in his hands.

The price of a donkey is not expensive, and a donkey that has just matured is only a little over sixty-two. I bought a donkey, put it on a harness, and fed some vegetables and fruits to cultivate my relationship.When Qing Chuan saw it, he only had two taels left in his hand. With this little money to take home, it was not even enough for his old mother's alimony for a year, so why should he be laughed to death?

When the brothers separated, they agreed that the old mother would be raised in the old family's house, and the other brothers would be given one hundred cash per month, which would be 1000 and two hundred cash a year, which is a little more than one or two.But when you go back to visit the elderly during the Chinese New Year, you can’t just bring a penny, and you must buy some other food to show your filial piety.

Qingchuan now only has a little more than two taels of silver, so he has to save some for his own living expenses, and after deducting more than one tael of pension money, there is really nothing left.

This... these two people walked away with relatives empty-handed, what do people think?There are no secrets in the countryside, if he returns empty-handed, the next day there will be rumors that Qingchuan is poor and unable to get along in the provincial capital.

"Did you forget that there is a system?"

"The system still sells New Year's goods?"

"Sell it! Why not sell it? And every holiday, there is a discount promotion, buy one get three free, buy more, get more discounts."

Qingchuan was stunned. Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival...he didn't buy any, and he always felt that he missed [-] million yuan.

Sure enough, there is a discount promotion in the system. Usually, a point of [-] catties of high-quality Wuchang rice, now a point of [-] catties.There are also high-quality snowflake beef, fatty foie gras, and two-headed abalone that are usually reluctant to buy, all of which are on sale and greatly reduced in price.

Qing Chuan's eyes lit up, and he could hardly control his buying hands, "Why is it so spicy and so cheap?"

"The purchase price is cheap." The system said.

"Who is the purchaser? Like it!" Qing Chuan loosened his hand, bought a piece of snowflake beef and butter, and prepared to grill the steak on the iron plate at night.

"It's your host. Some quest madmen don't rest after completing the assigned amount of quests. They keep doing quests, and there are a lot of products left over that they can't use. They can't sell them or it's inconvenient to sell them. Packaged and sold to the system. For example, the host of a farming system with a tail number of 9 is really the reincarnation of Shennong. The vegetables grown are many and good, and a batch is provided to the system every day. There is also the host of the fishing system, fishing Madman, the highest record is more than 200 big sea fish in one hour, the key is not to eat them after catching them, they are all sold to the system."

"The system still accepts these? Then me clay figurines..."

"Forget it. Works with no passing marks can't be sold at a price. The pile in your yard, deducting the replica works, you can't sell the handmade products, and the rest are all packaged and sold for less than ten dollars." points." The system poured cold water on Qingchuan.

"Oh." That's okay, he has already made a lot of money during the scoring, and what he lacks is real coins.

Taking advantage of the discount promotion, Qingchuan bought two hundred catties of Wuchang rice and put it in a rice tank. He also bought some glutinous rice noodles. He also bought some bacon, sausage, and smoked ham, and hung them in the kitchen. I also bought a few jars of seasonings such as vinegar.

I bought another silk quilt, put it on a blue cotton quilt cover, a thick cotton cushion, a cashmere blanket, two silk vests, three sets of cashmere long johns and ten pairs of wool socks.In addition, there is a copper hand stove, a charcoal-fired copper pot for hot pot, and three hundred catties of smokeless charcoal.

The winter in the south is also cold, wet and cold, it is like a magical attack.

The system said that the discounts during the Chinese New Year are the biggest, and Qingchuan also prepared some things for summer.A roll of bamboo mat, a pair of porcelain bamboo ladies, a mosquito net, a well-filled refrigerator, a cattail leaf fan, two small hand-operated bamboo fans, and a pair of sandals and clogs.At first I wanted to buy mosquito coils, but when I thought about the problem of moisture, I gave up my idea.

One piece of thick cotton cloth in three blue tones of lake blue, navy blue, and sky blue, and one piece of thin cotton cloth in three colors of moon white, turmeric, and willow green, and keep them for new clothes.Thirty catties of new cotton, reserved for sewing padded jackets.

There are also three enlightenment books, Sanzijing, Hundred Surnames, and Thousand Characters, and a set of Four Books and Five Classics, all of which are antique prints.Some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and some copybooks.Qingchuan has other uses.

Because Qingchuan was in the ancient world, he couldn't buy many technological products in the system that surpassed this era, that is, he was greedy.

Next, I will buy new year goods for home, and I can't buy too well.It was only half a year ago that I ran back home and cried, but now that I have developed suddenly, people will be suspicious.It can't be too much. If it's too much, people think you can't get along in the city, so they reluctantly buy something for appearance.Qingchuan silently selected, and found a bunch of products with low prices and small defects in the system.

With his current net worth and the productivity of this era, it is unscientific to buy a bunch of high-quality products.It is better to buy some of ordinary quality, even with minor flaws.The rural area is pragmatic and doesn't care about this small flaw. If he said that he happened to encounter a defective product and bought more, everyone would be more happy.

In this way, he chose a thick maroon cotton cloth, a few pieces of plain colored rags about two or three square meters in size, enough to make a skirt or a top.I bought a ten-pound streaky bacon, three catties of brown sugar, and one catty of steamed rice cakes.Steamed rice cakes are made from steamed rice flour and melted in water. One piece of cake can melt into half a bowl of paste. The old lady has bad teeth and likes this kind of thing very much.

Qingchuan looked around and saw that it was almost done, and finally bought a thin bracelet, silver and gold, with one or two weights.

His eldest brother and second brother got married early, and Qingchuan has three nephews and nieces, so he prepared three beautiful kiln-fired Fuwa and three red rope jade pendants, all of which are scraps of Hetian Qingyu, bean green, very moist, and a little as big as a thumb. , The shape of the safety lock.Buying it in the system, one point and one jade pendant, is almost a wholesale price, but it is very expensive in this era, and scraps are expensive.

On the second day, Qingchuan rode a donkey to the appointed place.He traveled lightly, except for the new year's goods, it was a change of clothes, which added up to about sixty catties. The donkey carried him and his luggage, and he walked briskly along the way.

Among the crowd was a fellow from Qingchuan, who came from his hometown. When he saw Qingchuan's donkey, he said he was well-developed.Qing Chuan said that he had been contemplating the craft these days, and had achieved some results, which was barely enough to eat. He also showed everyone the clay figurines he made.Although everyone doesn't know about craftsmen, but looking at the cute clay dolls, with common sense in life, they know that it will definitely sell, and the sale is not bad, so it is not surprising that he bought a donkey .

"How did I hear that you haven't learned it from your master?" the fellow asked again.

"After watching it for so many years, even if you don't know how to do it, you will still know it a little bit. As long as you keep practicing and get the hang of it, you will be able to." Qing Chuan said.He has been eating well and raising well in the past six months, the baby fat on his face is more obvious, and he smiles like a child who hasn't grown up. The fellow still wanted to ask, but he felt like he was targeting a doll. He felt boring, so he stopped talking .
