Li Meifang watched as Xu Yin took a SLR camera, changed several angles of her door curtain, took many photos, and then uploaded them to the computer... The process was so complicated that she was dazzled by it, and she didn't understand it in the end.
When leaving the Xu family, she held Feng Cuiqin's hand and said, "Sister Cuiqin, you and Brother Wei Guo are so lucky! You have such a good daughter!"
Feng Cuiqin sent people away and was beaming when she returned to the house.
Xu Weiguo, who was closing the long-necked vase with "Pine and Bamboo Birthday Celebration Picture", looked up casually and saw his wife's smiling face, and teased her: "So happy? Did you find money?"
Feng Cuiqin smiled angrily and glared at him: "I'm happier than finding money! Just make it up! Let's compete next month to see who earns more wages!"
Xu Weiguo: “…”
Hey! This woman is incredible! If you beat yourself once, do you think you can win every month?
“Dad! I have to let go of my knitting. I won’t wait for you!”
Xu Weiguo finished speaking and immersed himself in speed.
Grandpa Xu: “…”
Speak as if you were specifically waiting for me before.
The old man's fingers were flying as he weaved bamboo, and he said leisurely: "If you can't compare, you can't compare! It's not a shame to lose to your own mother-in-law! I think about when your mother was still alive, when I competed with her, I didn't lose to her on purpose. Hers? Men should be more generous!"
Xu Weiguo: “…”
Dad, are you sure you lost on purpose? And not because my mother is awesome?
…
Xu Yin hung the bamboo curtain in the online store, and it was quickly photographed by Lu You, the little sister who runs a teahouse in her family.
And also left her a message asking if she could make it custom-made.
She also needs a few pairs of larger double-width door curtains for semi-open elegant partitions.
Xu Yin asked her if she had any requirements for patterns, or if she only wanted plain and elegant styles without patterns.
[The double door curtain is the one I just took. Then I will find someone with better calligraphy to write the word "tea Zen" on it. For a single frame, can I make a set of roller blinds with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum patterns? The four small boxes fit together into a theme. ]
Of course no problem!
Xu Yin replied to her:
You may have to wait a few days because there is no stock. ]
[Okay, okay, time is not in a hurry! ]
Xu Yin copied the custom-made dimensions she sent and went to find Xu’s mother.
“Mom, someone has already asked for the curtain at Aunt Meifang’s house, and it was sold for 360.”
"Huh? So fast?" Feng Cuiqin said unexpectedly, "Then you still have to help her send it out. Have you deducted the freight and packaging? I can't let you suffer a loss."
"It's been deducted. You can give it to her." Xu Yin put the money in an envelope and handed it to Xu's mother. "By the way, I'd like to ask if her family wants to accept an order for double door curtains. It's the same as before. Just use the correct weaving method, but the quality must be guaranteed.”
"Okay, okay, I'll tell her the good news right now! She will definitely accept it! Wouldn't she be a fool if she doesn't accept it?"
Feng Cuiqin went out in a hurry.
Here, Xu Yin told Grandpa Xu about the door curtain requirements of the Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.
“Grandpa, is it okay?”
She knew that Grandpa Xu had recently learned several ways to weave flowers, and he was very interested in it.
Sure enough, I heard him say: "What's the problem! Grandpa will definitely knit the most exquisite and beautiful four gentlemen for you!"
Xu Weiguo glanced at his daughter resentfully: "Your grandfather has an order, where is your father and me?"
"Dad, don't worry! You finish weaving the vase at hand first, and I will arrange a job for you."
“What kind of work?”
When Xu Weiguo heard this, he realized that the old man was the Four Gentlemen and he was the Eight Horsemen. Well, he won this round!
Until a few days later, he gave the woven bamboo vase to his wife to paint, and then asked his daughter for the drawing of the Eight Horses, as if claiming credit.
When he got the drawing, he was confused: Eight Horses Picture Eight Horses Picture, together they are eight horses in one painting? Instead of the eight pictures he thought? Although the weaving method is quite complicated, it is only one picture! How can there be more than four pictures of the old man?
"Dad, if this painting is finished, not to mention four door curtains, forty door curtains can help you earn back the money." Xu Yin painted a big cake for her father. Xu Weiguo’s eyes lit up: “Really?”
“When did I lie to you?”
“Hehe...that’s not the case.”
Hold the drawings, Xu Weiguo happily returned to his seat and started knitting, while not forgetting to whisper to the old man:
“Yinyin said, my painting is worth more than what you put together this month, next month, next month... many months combined.”
“Just brag!” The old man didn’t believe it.
“Hey! You don’t believe it, right? Let’s make a bet?”
“What kind of bets are you betting on? Never heard of the saying that nine times out of ten you will lose?”
“Dad, are you scared?”
…”
The two men were braiding bamboo strips and bickering, so the atmosphere should not be too cheerful.
Let’s talk about Li Meifang’s family. They were so happy that they couldn’t smile from ear to ear after receiving the first payment of 360 yuan for door curtains.
This income far exceeded her expectations.
I thought that even if I could sell it, it would be good to make a hundred and eighty yuan, but I didn't expect that it would quadruple.
Also received an order for a pair of double door curtains.
You can earn 360 for a single frame, but you can’t double the amount for a double frame?
Thinking about the fact that it was only the beginning of this month and her family already had thousands of pieces of money in hand, it made her smile whenever she went out recently.
So other village women asked her: "How come you are just like Cuiqin, with a spring breeze on your face."
“Hey, I just made a little money with Cuiqin’s family!”
Li Meifang didn’t hide it.
She heard from Cuiqin's daughter that the online store was open to the whole country. After the market opened, the demand was so great that the two of them alone could not supply it.
In order to secure such a good sales channel, she spared no effort to encourage other people in Qingzhu Village who could weave bamboo strips.
"If any of you are interested, please quickly show Yinyin the bamboo utensils you have at home. She said yes, and you can sell them in her online store. You have all seen the door curtain I made last time, guess what? Guess how much it sold?”
“Has it been sold? So quickly?”
"Yes! I was surprised too. It was sold within two days of taking it, for 360!"
"Wow!"
“The rolling door curtain your man made for your home? Sold it for 360?”
"right!"
For a while, everyone stopped talking and ran home. They found the existing bamboo weavings at home and picked the most exquisite one. They took it to Xu's house and asked Xu Yin to look at it.
Xu Yin saw that although the ones they brought had no patterns or patterns, they were quite carefully woven, so she accepted them all.
However, she put her words first: "The prices for baskets and bamboo baskets may not be high."
"It's okay, it's okay. We'll take it to the city and sell it for ten or twenty yuan at most. If you can sell it for 20 yuan, it's convenient for you and we can save the money and sell it out."
“Yes, yes, yes! This set of baskets in my house costs 5 yuan for the small one and 30 yuan for the large one, so I am satisfied. If I really can’t sell them, I will sell the big one for 25 yuan.”
Xu Yin smiled and responded one by one: "Okay, I've got it covered."
