This money is enough to buy a few houses, but now the two grandsons are studying in private schools, and the eldest grandson is about to take the exam. After the exam, he will have to travel, which costs money.
He had to think a little more.
The old lady suddenly remembered something and pointed to Back Basket in the corner. "By the way, Qiao'er, why did you come back with so much cloth at once?"
Zhou Lihua's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over and picked up a piece of green cloth. "Oh, the color of this piece of cloth matches me well. My daughter, look at me..."
Su Qiao walked over and took the fabric from her hand directly. "You just made two new clothes, don't think about the cloth. I'm going to make socks, shoes, and bags."
Speaking of this, everyone's attention was drawn to the harvest of today's sales.
"Danie, how much money did you sell for today?"
"Toothbrushes and tooth powder, because of the incident at the grocery store, many people didn't dare to buy them. Only some old customers bought some and earned twelve taels of silver. However, the shoes, socks, and bags that I brought were all sold at once, and I earned four taels of silver."
"There are sixteen taels in total. I bought five pieces of cloth and two bags of scraps."
With that said, Su Qiao took out two large bags of scraps from Back Basket that Ernie had carried before.
"Buy so much at once?"
"Isn't this too much?"
"Yes, if we make so many at once, will they be sold out by then?"
Su Qiao assured with a confident face, "Don't worry, it will definitely be sold out. We will set up two stalls by then, one in the small market at the west end, and one by the east-west bridge."
She felt the fabric was a bit lacking.
Ernie also said hurriedly, "Mom, you didn't see how people were snatching our socks and shoes today. There were only about ten pairs. As soon as we took them out, they were sold out in a few seconds. The rest are squeezing in the back and want to come forward. It's a pity that we only made a dozen pairs. Otherwise, we would have sold hundreds of pairs today."
"Then let's work harder and do more." As long as we can exchange for money, Madam Liu is not afraid of getting tired.
In the past, a pair of her embroideries could be exchanged for seven cents, but now a pair of socks can be exchanged for twenty or thirty cents, and a pair of slippers can be sold for fifty cents, which is much more valuable than her embroidery.
"It's a pity that there are only a few of us. Even if we don't sleep for three days and three nights, we can't make hundreds of pairs."
Ernie frowned. "Sister Qiao'er said that these things are easy to be copied. It is best to make more at one time and make a lot of money at once."
Hearing this, the old man coughed twice in embarrassment. "Ahem, how about you, Second Master's family, and Third Master's family, do it together?"
After all, they are all brothers. Although the families were separated a few years ago after having grandchildren, we still have to help each other when it comes to good or difficult things.
The old lady rolled her eyes at him. "What do you care about them? Last time something happened to you, they didn't come to see you personally. They don't even have you as a brother in their hearts, so you still care about them?"
The old man scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? I sent someone to tell them not to come over. The situation was unclear at the time. They would only be implicated in vain if they came over."
"Besides, they live in the mountains and guard the orchards. How can they know about my affairs for a while?"
Su Qiao had forgotten that her grandfather had two younger brothers.
But when the grandfather and grandmother passed away, the three brothers separated.
The other two families were assigned to the old man's orchard. The house there was not enough to live in, so they simply moved to the orchard in the mountains to settle down.
