The rabbits in Qingchuan were all sold out on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, even the high-priced rabbit dolls were not left. During festivals, it is always easy to lose your mind, especially when there are hairy children and daughters-in-law around, men are more generous, and the daughter-in-law who has always been preoccupied with it will also relax a little.

    The wooden ornaments and small paper lanterns on the side are also selling very well, and the two bosses are about to smile.

    Qingchuan sold out and didn't want to go shopping. The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival was crowded with people, and he brought a small cart and a box of copper coins. It was really hard to join in the fun. back home. In the end, I just bought a small lantern in the shape of a rabbit, and went to the pastry shop to buy local moon cakes, even if it was over the festival.

      Crunchy with nuts. He really didn't understand how the five-nut moon cakes were blackened like that. In terms of taste and appearance, they were actually quite good.

    The full-sized mooncakes, the size of an adult's palm, were cut into six pieces, and a thin layer of paper was placed on the plate. The store's fillings are relatively sweet, so Qingchuan made a pot of chrysanthemum tea and slowly ate the mooncakes with the light tea fragrance.

    "Hey, moon cakes are more delicious with tea. While enjoying the autumn moonlight and tasting festive delicacies, it feels very festive."

    "You sound like an old grandpa." The system couldn't help but complain.

    "Are young people only allowed to fry chicken with beer? You are prejudice!"

    Qingchuan ate five moon cakes in a row and burped, "There is one left, let's make it early tomorrow." He tidied up the table, wrapped the remaining moon cake in paper, covered Cover the lid to prevent mice from stealing food, and sleep after washing.

    He slept very deeply, and woke up after the third day on the second day, put on his coat in a daze, and went to the kitchen to boil hot water and breakfast. After a few days of selling and selling, it still took a lot of thought, and when I was free, I couldn't help but sleep in.

      To make bones, add cotton wool to the mud to make meat, so that it is not easy to break and crack. Qing Chuan counted how much time he had left to prepare while brushing his teeth.

    The final conclusion is that it is best to make the master this afternoon.

    "The two months after the Chongyang is the Spring Festival, the 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, the Qixi Festival in July...a year is a cycle, There is hardly any time to rest. Ancient times were really unfriendly to lazy people, and I almost forgot what it was like to stay up all night to cultivate the Immortal Liver.”

    In Chongyang, Qingchuan made another round of profits. The two successes have already made the craftsmen in the city notice him, and even the local gangsters also noticed him. Qingchuan went to his former husband's house. Although the marriage didn't happen, they were still relatives, uncle and nephew. As the head of the yamen, the uncle had contact with many people, and he still had some face on the street. Qingchuan left. This time, there were far fewer hooligans who came to him to fight the autumn wind.

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

    Thank goodness, cousin is the second.

    In the beginning, Qingchuan was prepared to face the worst of 'killing them all'. I didn't expect to meet them and found out that this old couple is a person with a strong sense of morality who is easy to deal with . Qingchuan belongs to the rootless duckweed in the provincial capital, but Uncle Biao is a local snake here. Offending the local snake will not benefit him at all.

      Therefore, Qingchuan must take root in the provincial capital before he can have a future. If he slips back to the countryside, the difficulty of completing the task will have to rise several levels.

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

    He saved more than thirty taels of silver, not much, but enough to repair a house.

      There are two side rooms in the main house, the side room on the left is used as the kitchen, the workshop is next to the kitchen, and a cellar is built under the workshop to store the prepared 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 occupied, and the penthouse can be used as a guest room.

    There is a small yard of fifty or sixty square meters in the back, where you can get a thatched hut and firewood. The firewood room should be large, because he needs a lot of firewood to make a kiln for burning clay figurines. Then build a pergola with shelves underneath to dry the mud embryos in the shade.

    The front yard can be 400 square meters, and the mud is used to dry the mud bricks. It turned out that a small kiln had to be built in the place where the house was upside down. The requirements for calcining clay figurines were not so high. It could be fired even at home, but it was unbearably hot to burn in summer. Fortunately, this place is remote and there has been a fire. Now he has a house nearby, and the nearest neighbors are fifty or sixty meters apart, and no one protests.

    When the craftsman was repairing the house with blue bricks, Qingchuan was making clay figures in the yard. At first, it was some chubby Fuwa. By the time the craftsmen had laid the tiles on the roof, the Fuwa clay figures in Qingchuan had already been painted. In December, the house and the kiln have been built, and the second batch of Fuwas have taken shape.

    Different from the clay figurines sold outside who always have the same smiling face, Qingchuan's Fuwa has more and more unique shapes. of.

    They also have many small props, some holding fat carp, some holding mini gold abacus, some holding books, some holding pens, some holding handkerchief embroidery needles, some holding hands With a big rice bowl. There are even Mermaid Fuwas with very fairy tale characteristics, Thumbelina growing out of flowers, and elf with small wings...

    The latter ones have higher requirements on the shape, and they all have to be dried in the shade and then put in the kiln to be fired at high temperature until pottery, so as to ensure that those delicate and delicate waves, petals and wings will not fall off when they move.

    Qingchuan always adds whatever comes to his mind. As long as he thinks it is cute and has the desire to buy it, he will make a mold to turn it over.

    After having a kiln, he became more creative and even made a set of clay toys that girls used to play at home. It is a complete kitchen with three walls, a hanging chest of drawers, a stove, a large iron pot, a casserole, a kettle, various kitchen utensils and tableware, and there are stone mills, water tanks, rice pounding machines, and tables and stools. It can't be compared with modern handicrafts, and it doesn't have a childish interest.

    In order to match this kitchen toy, he also made a family of seven with matching sizes, including grandparents, parents, big brothers and sisters, and fat dolls in swaddles.

    "According to this idea, next year I can make a set of clay figurines such as bedroom series, farming series, and play series." Qingchuan silently gave himself a thumbs up.

     

    In this era, going out is not as convenient as in later generations, the road is not easy to walk, and not every place has an inn that provides accommodation, so be prepared to stay overnight at other people's homes or temples. Fortunately, the provincial capital is not too far from the hometown in the countryside. It takes about four or five days to travel. If you have a car, it will be faster. But the car is too expensive, even if you go to the car dealership to rent it, it will cost twenty or thirty dollars a month.

    Qingchuan went to find someone in a similar situation to him. They didn't all live together, but the direction of going home was the same. Finally, we agreed to leave on the 20th day. There were nine of them, five of them young and strong, and one of them brought his family with him, but his family provided an ox cart, and Qing Chuan and others could put their luggage on the ox cart.

    Qingchuan felt that he had to save up money to buy a donkey and walk for four days with this kind of cloth shoes and this kind of rough road. His feet will probably be abolished, or the blood blisters will be rubbed off. Qingchuan felt that his feet hurt when he thought about it.

    There is still time, and there are still ten days before leaving, and his Fuwa has already made two sets, there must be thousands of them, and they fill the yard. He can't sell it by himself anymore, it's a bit of a waste of time, and the day he sells the doll is enough for him to make a few mother embryos. So Qingchuan wholesaled these dolls to several shops in the city.

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

      No matter what price the store sells, Qingchuan will take seven floors and the store will take three.

    The set of kitchen toys for a family of seven in Qingchuan was the first to receive good news. The store said that someone bought it the next day after putting it on, and sold it for eight taels of silver, and it went to Qingchuan. There are also five two six. In addition to other scattered receipts, by the nineteenth day, Qingchuan already had more than eighty taels of silver in his hands.

    The price of a donkey is not expensive, and a just mature donkey is only six or two. I bought a donkey, put on a condom, and fed some vegetables and fruits to cultivate a good relationship. When Qing Chuan saw it, he only had more than two or two left in his hand. He took this money home, and even the old mother's alimony was not enough for one year, so he couldn't be laughed at?

      Text, that is, a little more than one or two. But when I go back to see the elderly during the Chinese New Year, I can't just bring a piece of money, and I must buy some other food to show my filial piety.

    Qingchuan now has a little more than two taels of silver, so I have to keep some for my own living expenses, deduct more than one tael of pension money, and there is really nothing left.

    This...these two empty-handed relatives, what do people think? There are no secrets in the countryside. If he returns empty-handed, there will be rumors that Qingchuan is impoverished and cannot live in the provincial capital the next day.

    "Did you forget you still have the system?"

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

    "Sell! Why don't you sell it? And every holiday, there is a buy-one-get-three discount. Buy more and get more discounts."

    Qingchuan was stunned. Qixi, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival...he didn't buy it, he always felt that he missed 100 million.

    In the system, there are really discounts and promotions. On weekdays, one point is 30 pounds of good Wuchang rice, and now one point is 50 pounds. There are also high-quality snowflake beef, fat foie gras, and two-headed abalone that are usually reluctant to buy, all of which are discounted and reduced in price.

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

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

    "Who is the purchaser? Like and like!" Qingchuan loosened his hand, bought a piece of snowflake beef and butter, and prepared to grill the steak on an iron plate for the evening.

    "It's your host. Some task madmen don't rest after finishing the tasks indicated, and keep doing the tasks, there are a lot of products left over, they can't use them, and they can't sell them or not. It is easy to sell and has a short shelf life, so it is 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. There are many and good vegetables, and a batch is provided to the system every day. There is the host of the fishing system, the fishing madman, the highest record is more than 200 big sea fish in an hour, and the key is to sell it to the system without eating it after fishing."

    "The system still accepts these? Then I am clay figurines..."

    "You better forget it, works without passing grades can't sell for a price. For this pile in your yard, deducting the remodeling works is not counted as your pure handmade finished products can't be sold, the rest It's less than ten points for all the packaged and sold." The system poured a basin of cold water on Qingchuan.

    "Oh." That's okay, he already made a lot of money when he scored, and what he lacked was real coins.

    Taking advantage of the discounts, Qingchuan bought 200 catties of Wuchang rice and put it in the rice jar, some glutinous rice noodles, and some bacon, sausage, and smoked ham. Hang it in the kitchen, and buy a few jars of seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

    I bought another silk quilt, put on a cyan cotton quilt cover, a thick cotton mattress, 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-burning copper pot for shabu-shabu, and three hundred catties of smokeless charcoal.

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

    The system said that the discounts during the new year are the biggest, and Qingchuan also prepared some things for summer. A roll of bamboo silk mat, a pair of porcelain bamboo ladies, a mosquito net, a well-water and soil refrigerator, a palm fan, two small hand-cranked bamboo fans, and a pair of sandals and clogs. Originally, I wanted to buy mosquito coils, but when I thought about the problem of getting damp, I gave up my mind.

    One piece of thick cotton cloth in three blue tones of lake blue, navy blue, and azure, and one piece of thin cotton cloth in three colors of moon white, turmeric, and willow green, keep them for new clothes. Thirty kilograms of new cotton, with sewn cotton jackets.

    There are also three enlightenment books, the Three Character Classics, the Hundred Family Names, and the Thousand Character Characters, a set of four books and five classics, all of which are antique prints. A number of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a number of copybooks. Qingchuan has other uses.

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

    The next time I want to buy the New Year's goods home, I can't buy it too well. I only went back and cried once half a year ago, but now that it has suddenly developed, people will have doubts. It can't be too bad. People think that you can't get along in the city, so you reluctantly buy something to make up your appearance. Qingchuan silently selected, and found a bunch of products with low-cost promotions and minor defects from 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 ordinary quality, even with minor flaws. The countryside is pragmatic and doesn't care about this little 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 burgundy cotton cloth, and a few plain rags of two or three square meters, enough to make a skirt or a top. I bought a 10-pound piece of five-flowered bacon, three pounds of brown sugar, and a pound of steamed rice cakes. Steamed rice cakes are pressed with steamed rice flour and are dissolved in water. A piece of cake can be turned into half a bowl of goo. The old lady has bad teeth and likes this kind of thing very much.

    Qingchuan looked around and it was almost the same, and finally bought a thin bracelet, silver and gilt craftsmanship, one or two.

    His eldest brother and second brother got married early, Qingchuan has three nephews and nieces, so he prepared three kiln-fired beautiful Fuwas and three red rope jade pendants, all of which are Hetian sapphire scraps, bean green, very watery Run, the thumb is as big as the head, and the shape of the safe 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 the leftovers are expensive.

    On the second day, Qingchuan rode a donkey to the appointed place. He traveled lightly, except for the New Year's goods, just a change of clothes, which added up to about 60 pounds. The donkey carried him and his luggage, and he walked quite briskly.

    In the crowd there was a fellow from Qingchuan, a man from his hometown. When he saw a donkey in Qingchuan, he was said to have developed. Qingchuan said that he had been pondering the craftsmanship these days, and he had achieved some results, which was barely enough to eat, and he even took out the clay figurines he made for everyone to see. Although everyone doesn't know about craftsmen, but looking at the cute clay doll, they know from common sense that they can definitely be sold, and they don't sell badly, so it's not surprising that he bought a donkey. .

    "How come I heard that you haven't learned it from your master?" The fellow asked again.

    "After watching it for so many years, even if I haven't gotten started, I can still get a little bit of it. As long as I keep practicing, it will be fine." Qingchuan 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 has not grown up. .
