Chapter 202 Buying Spare Ribs

"I was overthinking it." Yang Yun patted the back of her hand. "Business is good in the shop, and I'm afraid someone will poach you."

"Now that you put it that way, I know what you're thinking, and I'm sure you won't be poached by someone else at a high price."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Boss Yang, are you still going to give me the share of the puppet?"

"Here, now that I've spoken, I'll keep my word."

It is hard to take back what has been said, and giving her a share of the doll's profits was just an attempt to keep her.

"You know what, a lot of people bought these dolls, hanging them on their purses or waists, and quite a few ladies even bought them and hung them by their beds to coax their children."

As he spoke, he took out two cloth bags.

As usual, one was the wages of Shen Wanqing and others, and the other was her profit.

"Some girls buy a lot and ask me to give them a few cents off. This month's doll is 564 cents."

"And the one for the little puppet, 387 wen, a total of 951 wen."

Ji Wenhe could hardly contain his surprise and jumped up from the stool. It was almost one or two taels of silver.

She then continued, "Bring the patterns you made here and sell them in the shop the next day. I'll have them make small cloth dolls that day, and then make some big cloth dolls."

"Is there not enough big dolls to sell?"

"Last month's was not enough, so I asked them to make some more."

"If I make more, I won't be afraid of not being able to sell them. Some girls will come to my shop to buy some for their sisters when they visit their relatives."

"Just make it according to the fabric I give you. When you finish it and send it to me, I will ask them to make some more. This way, the style will not be revealed."

Ji Wenhe thought it was feasible: "By the way, Boss Yang, next month is Chinese Valentine's Day, we need to come up with a holiday-limited style."

"The dolls will be on the shelves tomorrow, and the girls will come to buy them. Tell them that in ten days, four people can make one hundred and fifty to two hundred."

"Make it smaller so there's enough time. One hundred and fifty. First come, first served. Set the price higher. There are only one hundred and fifty."

"By the way, the fabric must be red."

Yang Yun looked at the prepared fabrics and said, "There's very little red here. I have to go to the shop to buy some. You wait for me in the shop in front."

She has been buying goods from Qingyu Cloth Shop, and the price is much cheaper than what they bought.

"Okay." Ji Wenhe stood up and followed her to the front of the shop. "Send it over on the morning of the 9th."

"Find more people, we'll have time the next day."

"Okay, I got it. Wait for me here for a while."

Yang Yun trotted out of the shop and headed straight for the Qingyu Cloth Shop.

She was very fast and soon came back with a few feet of red cloth.

Coincidentally, Lan Qiuhua and Shen Wenshan also arrived.

"Boss Yang, take out the things and let my brother-in-law take them first."

"Wait a minute, I'll go and pack it."

The fabric cannot be taken back just like that, it has to be wrapped up and not get dirty.

Lan Qiuhua took out the embroidered purses and the knitted silk cords and placed them on the counter: "Give me some more purses and silk cords."

The shop assistant checked everything one by one, and after making sure there were no problems, he paid her.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get it from the back."

As they are old customers, they won't dwell on any minor flaws.

And once they become proficient in their craft, they rarely make mistakes.

Ji Wenhe put the basket on the counter, but before he could give it to the shop assistant, Yang Yun pulled it into the backyard.

When the shop assistant came out, he said, "Please count mine. I'll take 150."

With the help of three brothers, we can finish it by the end of the month.

"Okay." He counted the coins and gave her the money.

A total of one hundred and twenty-five cents.

Yang Yun came out with two baskets stuffed with fabrics: "These two baskets are for you to use. They are quite troublesome to hold."

Shen Wenshan stepped forward and took it: "Okay."

He carried one on his back, then held another in his arms, and turned to look at them: "Sister-in-law, Aunt Lan, I'm leaving."

Ji Wenhe stuffed the red string in and asked him to take it back with him: "Well, drive slowly, we'll go there after we buy the things."

He nodded: "Got it."

Ji Wenhe carried the empty basket and said, "Boss Yang, we are leaving."

"Hey." Yang Yun walked them to the door, "Have a nice walk."

The shop assistant came up behind her and looked at the two people's backs curiously: "Boss, who is she to you? It seems like you have a special relationship with her."

"A distant relative of mine also had a hard time at home, so he found a village to live in. I never expected that we would meet here by chance."

"So that's it."

"What else can we do? Go and greet the guests."

Those people set their sights on her shop assistants, but fortunately, both of them were nice people and had no other intentions.

The two of them left Jinxiufang and walked on the street.

"Aunt Lan, let's go buy some meat first, and then we'll go buy some soy sauce and vinegar. Oh, and we also need to buy two small clay pots."

"Why did you buy so many small clay pots? Are there not enough clay pots at home? If you want to pickle more, just buy a big one."

"I want to pickle some pickles and radishes and send them to Uncle Da Nian."

I bought a big clay pot, but there weren't that many vegetables at home, and he was alone, so if I sent too much, I didn't know when he would be able to finish it.

Ji Wenhe held her arm and said, "His vegetable garden is not very big. The vegetables he grows are only enough for daily consumption, not for pickling. I thought of sending some over."

I pickled pickles very successfully last time. This time I will pickle two jars in small ceramic jars and keep one for my own consumption.

"Okay, he's alone, and you're the only ones who visit him often."

Lan Qiuhua took him around the alley and the meat market was in front of them.

"Wen He, you said Zhao Sanniang came back, why didn't Yang Cuicui show her to Zhu Danian?"

"Ah? Aunt Lan, Uncle Danian is already over fifty, and Aunt Zhao is only thirty."

She knew about Zhu Danian's situation, but others didn't.

"Although your Aunt Zhao is only thirty, if she remarries, she won't marry into a good family and will become a widower."

"Besides, she already has two sons. Many people don't want to find a wife like this, for fear that she will secretly take the family money to support her sons. If it's a daughter, it's not so bad."

"Then it's too much of a stretch to tell Uncle Danian. Even though Uncle Danian is young, he won't agree."

According to Shen Rongshan, Zhu Danian had no intention of getting married and having children.

That incident has always been on his mind. He must be afraid that after he gets married, his wife and children will find out and abandon him.

Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, he changed the subject: "Aunt Lan, do you want to buy some meat?"

Lan Qiuhua shook her head: "No, I haven't used up all the oil at home."

"I want to buy some ribs to stew corn."

She has been craving for corn and pork ribs soup for a long time.

"Go over and ask how much a pound of spare ribs costs."

Ji Wenhe came to the pork stall and greeted with a smile: "Boss Xiong."

"Rongshan daughter-in-law, come and buy some meat." Xiong Yaoguang tied the weighed pork with dried straw and handed it to the person who was buying meat.

"Yes, I want to ask how much is a pound of spare ribs."

"Forty-one pounds of spare ribs."

Five cents more expensive than fatty pork.

Look at the bone marrow next to it. Wow, there is not even any meat on it. You may not be able to see any meat residue even with a magnifying glass.

"What about the tube bones?"
