This money is enough to build a few houses, but now my two grandsons are studying in private schools, and the eldest grandson is about to take an exam. After the exam, he has to go out and travel, and all these cost money.
He had to think a little more.
The old lady suddenly remembered something and pointed to the basket in the corner: "Oh, Qiao'er, why did you bring back so much cloth?"
Zhou Lihua's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked over and picked up a piece of green cloth. "Oh, this color suits me so well, girl, look at me..."
Su Qiao walked over and snatched the cloth from her hand: "You have just made two new clothes, don't think about using these cloths. I want to make socks, shoes, and bags."
Speaking of this, everyone's attention was drawn to the harvest from today's sales.
"Dani, how much silver did you sell today?"
"Toothbrushes and tooth powder. Because of the incident at the grocery store, many people were afraid to buy them. Only some old customers bought some, and I made 12 taels of silver. But the shoes, socks, and bags I brought with me were all sold at once, and I got 4 taels of silver."
"It cost sixteen taels in total. I bought five bolts of cloth and two bags of leftovers."
As he spoke, Su Qiao took out two large bags of scraps from the backpack that Erni had been carrying.
“Buying so much at once?”
“Isn’t this a bit too much?”
"Yeah, if we make so much at once, will we be able to sell them all?"
Su Qiao assured confidently, "Don't worry, we will definitely sell out. We will then set up two stalls, one in the small market at the west end, and one by the east-west bridge."
She felt that the fabrics were a little insufficient.
Erni also hurriedly said, "Grandma, Mom, you didn't see how people rushed to buy our socks and shoes today. We only had about ten pairs, and they were sold out in a few seconds. The rest were trying to squeeze in from the back. It's a pity that we only made about ten pairs, otherwise, we would have sold hundreds of pairs today."
"Then let's work harder and do more." As long as it can be exchanged for silver, Liu is not afraid of hard work.
In the past, she could only exchange a pair of embroidery for seven cents, but now a pair of socks can be exchanged for twenty or thirty cents, and a pair of slippers can be sold for fifty cents, which is much more valuable than her embroidery.
"It's a pity that there are only a few of us. Even if we stay up for three days and three nights, we can't make hundreds of pairs."
Erni frowned: "Sister Qiao'er said that these things are easy to be copied. It's best to make more at one time and make a lot of money at one time."
Hearing this, the old man coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Ahem, how about asking your second grandfather's family and third grandfather's family to do it together?"
After all, we are all brothers. Although we separated after having a grandson a few years ago, everyone still has to lend a hand when there are good or difficult things.
The old lady rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why do you care about them? Last time you got into trouble, no one from them came to see you. They don't even care about you as their brother. Why are you still caring about them?"
The old man said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? I sent someone to tell them not to come. The situation was unclear at the time, and they would only be implicated in vain if they came."
"Besides, they live in the mountains and guard the orchard. How can they know what's happening here in a short time?"
Su Qiao forgot that her grandfather had two younger brothers.
But when my grandparents passed away, the three brothers separated.
The other two families were allocated the old man's orchard. Since the house here was not big enough for them, they simply moved to the orchard in the mountains and settled down.
