Liu was anxious: "Don't, don't, don't..."
The old lady glanced at her and said: "Children are filial, so wear it if you are asked to."
Liu's face flushed: "Then... Then I'll try it on."
The women were happy, and the men of the Su family were happy too. They watched happily and forgot about the pile of silver on the table.
"Don't bite, isn't it dirty?"
Su Qiao pulled back Xiao Haozi, who was secretly biting the silver, and took the silver out of his mouth.
Xiao Haozi spit out a few words, raised his head excitedly and said, "Sis, now that we have so much money, can we build a new house?"
"I don't want to live in the same room with my brother anymore. He always stays up late at night and the light hurts my eyes."
"Also, I practice boxing and kicking every night before going to bed. He always dislikes me for making noises."
Su Qiao pinched him secretly.
This damn kid gets carried away when he gets proud.
We agreed not to talk about martial arts training.
No one cared much about it.
Because these days, Xiao Haozi has been running around in the yard every day, saying that he is exercising, and he also does horse stance.
Everyone thought this was just a childish play.
The old man tapped his pipe and said, "It's time to fix the house, but we have to clean up the rice fields first."
"Master, I will build a wind-powered waterwheel tomorrow, and we will irrigate and plow the fields the day after tomorrow." Su Qiao had planned this a long time ago.
"Can you do it alone?"
Didn’t she say that it was quite large and complicated
What kind of sail is it and what kind of wheel is it
"The last time I went to my grandpa's house, I had already drawn the parts drawings for my second uncle and fourth cousin."
"They know carpentry and have a full set of tools. It should be almost done by now. After the fabric is delivered tomorrow, we can bring them up to assemble it."
The old man frowned and said, "That would be too much trouble for them. They are busy working in the fields at this time."
"It's okay. I've already made an agreement with them. If ours is successful, let them make one themselves. Then they won't have to carry water for their fields anymore."
Her grandmother's family has 18 acres of paddy fields, and she doesn't know how much manpower and resources are wasted on irrigation every year.
It would be much simpler if there was a wind-powered water wheel.
Hearing this, the old man relaxed his frown and said, "Alright, if this thing really works, it will be a great thing that benefits the people."
"You bought so much cloth. Next, are you going to make shoes, socks, and bags?"
Su Qiao glanced at the old lady and said, "I bought twelve pieces of cloth, and the cloth shop gave me three packages of leftovers. I spent 60 taels of silver in total."
"Business may be a little slower in the future, but not too much. I will draw some new patterns and bag styles."
“Should we send it out?” The old lady thought carefully and decided that if she could make it at home, she would not send it out.
Su Qiao nodded: "Well, let's send it out and pick it up on the third afternoon."
"The sooner we sell the second batch, the fewer people will copy it, and the more likely it is to sell."
The old man took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "Then I have to go and deliver the fabric early tomorrow morning, and pay them for their labor."
The old lady also nodded: "The labor fee should be paid earlier."
The old man motioned to his wife to put the silver away, and then urged the others: "You all go and do your work, Qiao'er stay here."
The old lady put the silver away and followed him out.
"Second room, go get the bacon and kill the chicken."
"Master, stop showing off and go boil some water so you can pluck the chicken feathers."
From inside the room, one could still hear the old lady outside telling everyone to work.
