Rebirth of farming for a living

There were still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, Li Qiuyan went to the carpenter's house.

Seeing Li Qiuyan, the carpenter smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Most vendors in Qingyun Town now use folding tables and matzas.Although other carpenters imitated it later, he also made a lot of money.

Therefore, the carpenter asked enthusiastically: "What should we do today?"

Li Qiuyan said: "I want to do something small, I wonder if you can do it."

The carpenter smiled and said, "You tell me." I don't know if it can be done. It means there is something new.

However, this time the carpenter will be disappointed.

After listening to Li Qiuyan's words, the carpenter took out several: "Is this one? A mooncake mold?"

Li Qiuyan touched his nose, yes. How could there be no mooncake molds in ancient times?

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, there are shops making custom-made mooncake molds, some people make their own, and carpenters sell them sporadically.

However, Li Qiuyan arrived late and there were not many left.

Li Qiuyan is not picky, as long as it works.It doesn’t matter what the mooncake mold looks like. There are many mooncake molds, but no one has ever seen the mooncake you want to make.

There were four molds in a row, so you had to pick and choose. Li Qiuyan picked up the ones with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum patterns and bought two.

Snowskin mooncakes are what Li Qiuyan thought of, a rare and appropriate item.

After buying the mold, Li Qiuyan went to the grain and oil store.

We weighed noodles, glutinous rice flour, and bought red beans.Due to limited conditions, we can only make red bean paste.

He went to buy brown sugar again. Every time he bought brown sugar, Li Qiuyan would sigh.

Fortunately, when I made bean paste filling this time, the brown sugar was not conspicuous when put in it.

White sugar, sugar, when can I see sugar?

Li Qiuyan felt that she had almost bought everything, so she returned to the store.When I returned to the store, I patted my head. It seemed that I had forgotten something very important, milk.

In this day and age, it’s not like no one drinks milk.But there is no industrial chain, so milk is really hard to buy.

Seeing Li Qiuyan thinking hard, Wang Congcong asked: "What are you worried about?"

During the break, Wang Congcong would also go back to the store for lunch and help out.

Li Qiuyan told him what he was worried about.

Wang Congcong laughed when he heard this: "It's a coincidence. Master Mei likes to eat dairy snacks. I'll ask her."

Master Mei is not an ordinary embroidery master, he actually has a cook at home.

These days, Wang Congcong and Master Mei have become familiar with each other.

People's hearts are made of flesh. It seems that Wang Congcong truly respects himself and thinks of himself in everything.Master Mei, who was used to being alone, couldn't help but soften a little.

It was a coincidence that one time Wang Congcong went to Master Mei's house to deliver something. Master Mei happened to be eating the snacks the cook had just made, so he asked her to eat with him.

Wang Congcong was surprised after taking one bite. He had never eaten such delicious snacks.Seeing that she had never seen the world, Master Mei laughed and said, "There is milk in it." Wang Congcong then remembered it.

After hearing this, Li Qiuyan was happy. She was not just happy to find milk, but because of Wang Congcong's words, she got along well with Master Mei. Li Qiuyan said sincerely: "Sister Congcong, I said as long as I get along with you Everyone will like you."

Wang Congcong smiled shyly: "Master Mei is indeed very kind to me. I will ask her this afternoon and let you know."

Li Qiuyan agreed with a smile. Nothing happened. The milk matter was settled. He was not in a hurry to go back. Let's go shopping in the town today.

Li Qiuyan sent Wang Congcong to the embroidery room and walked around to the main entrance of Jinxiu Cloth Village.

The cloth shop has wiped out its previous decline. Now the dolls are made purely by hand. There are many embroiderers, but there are also tailors. Therefore, although the dolls are not limited, they are not just bought casually on the street.

Therefore, there are even servants and maids lining up to buy the latest dolls.

During this period, shopkeeper Hu asked Li Qiuyan several times to ask for new flower patterns, and Li Qiuyan also drew a lot.

It’s not that Pinyue Pavilion didn’t do anything, it’s just that it blatantly sells the same products as Jinxiu Cloth Shop, and it looks like it’s a scholar. Those noble ladies are very picky, and they don’t have a good reputation for picking up on others.How could the store's own designs be more popular than the modern cartoon characters drawn by Li Qiuyan?

Seeing Li Qiuyan coming, shopkeeper Hu hurriedly greeted him out the door: "But I haven't seen you come to the store for a while. Are you making new clothes?"

Shopkeeper Hu also regarded Li Qiuyan as the God of Wealth. Li Qiuyan shook his head: "No, send my sister over and take a look around."

When it comes to Wang Congcong, shopkeeper Hu is full of praise: "Miss Wang is really smart, quick to learn, and has a good temper. There is no one in the embroidery room who doesn't praise her. What's even more rare is that even Master Mei is particularly kind to her. , I see, it’s not far from accepting her as a disciple.”

Li Qiuyan smiled at first, and then thought, if Master Mei accepted Wang Congcong, Wang Congcong would be able to learn more.

With this thought in mind, he said politely: "It's not just for shopkeeper Hu's sake, but also to trouble you."

Shopkeeper Hu waved his hands repeatedly and pulled Li Qiuyan to the backyard.

Shopkeeper Hu thought for a while, but still hesitated and said: "During this period, the store's business has improved by selling dolls, and there are more and more custom-made clothes. The embroiderers are a bit short. I don't think this doll is too good." I'm just thinking about the embroidery skills, otherwise I can find some women with ordinary jobs to make this doll specifically, what do you think?"

Li Qiuyan praised in his heart and did not hesitate to praise: "Shopkeeper Hu, I think you are thinking long-term. However, your embroidery skills cannot be too bad. After all, most of the people who buy this doll are rich people." Li Qiuyan also thought about this. However, if all the top embroiderers make this doll, regardless of the income issue, their embroidery skills will also decline.

It seems that shopkeeper Hu is also a very qualified businessman and partner.

Shopkeeper Hu naturally agreed, not to mention that Pinyue Pavilion was eyeing her, and she would not do anything to damage her own brand.

Seeing Li Qiuyan narrowing his eyes with a smile, Shopkeeper Hu was also happy: "Okay, then I'll start. Remember to draw more pictures for me when you have time."

Li Qiuyan responded and waved goodbye.
