Chapter 359 Panda Shen Youyou
When talking about today's sales situation, not only the old ladies and young girls listened nervously, but even the shoe sole group pricked up their ears to listen:
The old lady wiped her mouth, bent down and took out a package containing four cents of money from the ground: "I won't talk nonsense between us. I won't tell you how much I sold it for. The remaining four cents are for the girls to share."
She opened the package and found twenty taels of copper coins and silver in it.
This caused an uproar among the crowd, not because the money was too much, but because of what Old Lady Hua said, that this was all for the little girls, and that they could get so much just by making the hairpins for only three days.
There were nineteen little girls from the nine clans, and with Shen Youyou, there were exactly twenty of them. However, Shen Youyou had her own thirty percent, so in the end, each little girl could get one or two taels of silver.
The remaining one or two taels were given to Wang Fuxi, who was responsible for making the model for them.
A whole tael of silver in three days is really a lot. The people in the shoe sole group are even more envious.
The old ladies did not count the money this time because they had not started working yet, but when they saw their daughters and granddaughters receiving the silver, it was as if they saw that they would be able to earn the same amount of money in three days.
His eyes were bright and his mouth stretched to his ears.
Granny Fang said, "Old sister, is our business so profitable? We can make just over one or two taels in three days."
Grandma Hua explained: "My dear grandson said that this is the first time we set up a stall in Fang County. Everyone is interested and buys a lot.
In the future, there may not be so much money, but we have four county towns and one prefecture town, five groups, even if you are included, the money we earn will be less than these.
But there can't be too much missing. This time, the silver is distributed every three days because this time is special.
From next time on, we will divide the money once a month, and then the 40% will be shared between you and your daughters."
Shen Zhiqiu's second aunt Cui Fen said excitedly: "That must be a lot, more than ten taels a month. Oh my God, Sister Guo, pinch me, is it true?"
But the girl she called, Sister Guo, seemed like she was still asleep and didn't dare to believe it at all.
Even Shen Zhiqiu and Li Jingshu looked at each other, meaning: "The old lady sold a lot, they made more money than us."
Father Shen acted as if he hadn't heard clearly. He scratched his ears and calculated in his mind: "Forty percent is twenty taels, so the remaining sixty percent is thirty taels. The old woman and the little granddaughter earn more."
Everyone who could calculate this price was excited. This time there was really hope.
At this time Shen Youyou told him that she had already advertised the shoe soles, and she recounted everything that happened at the market.
Everyone even felt as if they could see them selling shoe soles in the market.
It was dark and it was time to call it a day, but perhaps because of the money, everyone started making clothes for the old ladies, except for the daughters-in-law who found it inconvenient to make starch.
The strong laborers, the old men, and the teenagers were all making shoe soles while lighting a fire.
The old ladies' group and the young girls' group all came to Shen Zhiqiu's room to make plastic flowers.
Shen Youyou went to his uncle and asked, "Uncle, have you made the wooden bracelet I asked you to make for me? And those plum blossom hairpins, magnolia hairpins...?"
The eldest uncle quickly took out the ones he had asked for Shen Youyou and said, "There are still some that haven't been made, but I'll give these to you first."
When she returned home with the wooden bracelets and other things, the house was bustling with activity. The girls were making hairpins, and although the old ladies had poor eyesight and could no longer make hairpins, they were making cheap hairpins with glue injection.
Shen Youyou took out the rubber that she had extracted before, put it in a clay pot to melt it, found a wooden drawer, and placed the newly acquired wooden bracelets and hairpins one by one.
Pour the melted rubber into the drawer and wrap all the wooden bracelets and hairpins with it.
She stood up again and made hairpins with her sisters. It didn't take long, and she only made two peony flowers.
Once the rubber solidifies, it can be demoulded.
Old Lady Hua asked, "Are you going to make a bracelet too?"
Shen Youyou nodded: "Yes, this is a soft mold. When the time comes, just pour the colored plastic into it."
Then she poured a red plastic liquid into the soft rubber mold and waited for it to take shape.
Then continue to use those wooden bracelets and hairpins to make molds. If you make more at a time, you can make more.
Not only that, we also made molds for various types of beads.
Lotus petals, cherry blossom petals, peach blossom petals, chrysanthemum petals, crabapple petals,
Various curved small cherry blossoms, small osmanthus, small trumpet flowers, small plum blossoms, small lily of the valley, small butterflies, and molds of various leaves.
These are the small plastic models I made three days ago. The soft film is used to make some hairpins with small flowers. Most of these flowers are whole.
Use copper wire to thread a yellow bead in the middle as the center of the flower, and you can directly drill the hairpin flower, which will definitely improve efficiency.
As for the petals, the ones that can be made into molds are relatively simple, and these petals can also be made into hairpins directly.
She made them all based on some hairpin accessories she had bought online in her previous life.
She explained to the grandmothers and sisters who were in charge of injecting glue: "You can make these petal molds in different colors, or gradient colors, such as adding a little red, yellow, blue, or purple plastic to the transparent plastic."
As she spoke, she began to demonstrate step by step and made a transparent mold of small osmanthus flowers with yellow color. This osmanthus mold can make about a hundred small osmanthus flowers at a time, which is very delicate.
After the plastic cooled, Shen Youyou used a copper wire to dip some white rubber on one end. It was not transparent, but a white color that she mixed. She made a white pistil, just like a match with a head.
After all, their technology is not yet capable of making beads that are too small.
Shen Youyou's fingers flew, and soon she had threaded out many small yellow osmanthus flowers. By casually adding a few small leaves, it became an exquisite and cute small osmanthus hairpin.
Taohua liked this hairpin very much. She took it from Shen Youyou and examined it carefully. She said, "This one is also very beautiful. If I were to make a plastic full moon, it would definitely look good with this hairpin."
This is a good idea. Shen Youyou's eyes lit up and she said, "Sister Taohua, this is a good idea. Sisters can match them carefully. They don't have to be exactly the same.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. There should be a lantern festival in the city. If we make more hairpins with osmanthus and full moon patterns, they will surely sell well. "
As the conversation progressed, Shen Youyou had another idea. But it was getting late, so she asked everyone to go away and do it tomorrow.
I went back to my room, took out charcoal pencils and paper, and drew a few bunnies in various poses. Some were lying down, some were standing, some were hollowed out, and some were holding mooncakes and eating. There were all kinds of them.
I was thinking of asking my uncle to make some wooden samples of these little things tomorrow so that I can make molds.
When it’s made into a hairpin on August 15th, everyone will definitely like it. These rabbit eyes can also be dotted with a red plastic dot.
The more I thought about it, the more inspiration I got. I drew a few little goldfish, cranes, peace lockets, kittens, red pandas, little magpies... and many other pictures.
When I raised my head again, my neck felt sore and there was a faint light in the sky.
There was a sound of someone getting up in the yard. Shen Youyou, with two big dark circles under her eyes, handed the blueprint to her uncle, whose face was full of indescribable expression. She yawned and went home to catch up on her sleep.
Only my uncle was left behind, standing in the yard with a stack of drawings in his hand, his hair disheveled in the wind.
The little niece really knows how to find work for him!
Although she was very busy, my mother-in-law paid me a lot. She gave me one or two taels of silver for making some molds.
Don't say anything, he has to do it even if you don't pay him, let alone pay him back.
