Chapter 152
As He Zhiran's words fell, the scene boiled again.
Making a doll can earn five hundred wen for wages, and both the Xie family and Fang family feel a little unbelievable.
Even Old Lady Mo behind the crowd was moved.
Making two dolls a day can earn one or two silver coins. This money is really easy to earn.
She also wanted to participate and earn more silver to make up for family expenses.
Mrs. Zhao came forward again and said sincerely, "Niece, this material looks expensive at first glance. Don't lose money for yourself to help us."
He Zhiran knew it would be like this.
She originally intended to make a rabbit doll for eight hundred wen wages. Fortunately, she said five hundred wen, otherwise it would definitely arouse suspicion.
"Auntie doesn't have to worry. The foreigner saw that I bought a lot of fabrics and didn't give me a high price."
"But you've done so much for everyone, you have to make some money!"
Seeing what Mrs. Zhao said, Xie’s Mother also came forward to help out.
"That's right, niece, don't lose money for everyone."
He Zhiran knew that these two people were sincerely considering herself.
She smiled and explained to them, "Two aunties don't have to worry, I won't lose money."
In order not to entangle this issue again, He Zhiran hurriedly took out the fabrics for distribution.
Whoever wanted to participate in making dolls, each person was temporarily issued a portion of the material first to see how their skills were.
At this moment, Eldest Sister-in-law walked over holding the long-eared rabbit that she had been fiddling with in her hand for a long time.
"Younger sister, Eldest Sister-in-law feels that this thing is not difficult to make. As long as it is tailored well, it can be sewn by hand. Eldest Sister-in-law wants to ask you, can the doll be dismantled and tailored according to this size?"
"Of course, Eldest Sister-in-law will dismantle this doll." She had this plan in mind anyway, and it was just right that her eldest sister-in-law thought of this point too, which saved He Zhiran some trouble.
With He Zhiran’s words, Eldest Sister-in-law happily hugged the long-eared rabbit and materials to prepare.
Seeing this, others also followed one after another. He Zhiran was temporarily quiet here. Mo Jiuye saw the women leave and came over to help He Zhiran tidy up the space food together.
The men from several families and the yamen runners also came over to help when they were free.
When they saw the food in the bag that they had never seen before, they asked curiously.
"Brother Mo, are all these vegetables?" Peng Wang picked up an unfamiliar green vegetable and flipped it back and forth in his hand.
He thought to himself that he had also gone out for a walk. How come he didn't see anyone selling these things?
Could it also have been bought from the foreigners?
Also, it's already October, although it's not particularly cold here yet, can such fresh vegetables still be grown in the fields?
Mo Jiuye has now also learned He Zhiran's tricks.
"Brother Peng, many of these things were sold by a farmer carrying a shoulder pole. We didn't care if they were fresh vegetables or not when we saw them, so we took them all."
Peng Wang didn’t doubt it. No matter how peculiar these things were, he believed that the two had bought them back when they went out.
It's just that he was a little jealous of Mo Jiuye's luck.
Why didn't he run into farmers carrying shoulder poles selling these things when he went out?
Mo Jiuye felt that his previous explanation was very adequate. In order to prevent Peng Wang from continuing to ask questions, he hurriedly stuffed a tomato into Peng Wang’s hand.
"Brother Peng, I just tasted this one, it's sour and sweet, more delicious than fruit."
Without any doubt, Peng Wang took the tomato and took a big bite.
"Well, it's really delicious, more delicious than fruit," said Peng Wang, taking another bite.
His actions made the people around him salivate.
Mo Jiuye would not favor one over the other. When you see it, you get a share. He gave everyone a tomato.
After eating, everyone unanimously agreed that it was delicious, and from their appearance, they seemed to still crave more.
Even so, no one had the cheek to ask Mo Jiuye for more.
Mo Jiuye took the initiative to give some vegetables to the Fang family and Xie family. As for the yamen runners, he knew Peng Wang's temper too well.
When there was something delicious, they would always come to their home to mooch food, and would never make it themselves. So Mo Jiuye gave up the idea of giving them some food.
He Zhiran was ignorant of women's hobbies and had no interest in them. After arranging these foods properly, she went back to the tent to rest.
It was still quiet outside when it was almost time to make dinner.
When she walked out of the tent to check, she realized that she had inadvertently made trouble for herself.
All the women in the family, including Old Lady Mo, were gathered together, concentrating on making dolls there.
It seemed that she would have to make dinner with her own hands today. It was also good. Anyway, with so many fresh foods, the sisters-in-law might not be able to cook them.
Seeing He Zhiran cooking, Mo Jiuye took the initiative to help set the fire.
He loved the taste of his wife's cooking the most. Usually he was reluctant to let her work too hard and had never mentioned it before.
Today, with so many good ingredients, and being able to eat the homemade delicacies made by his wife, just thinking about it made him feel comfortable.
Besides, he really enjoyed this plain and peaceful little life now.
Although Mo Chuhan's body had not completely recovered, after He Zhiran's careful conditioning, he was no longer restricted in his actions now.
Seeing that his ninth younger brother was distressed about his wife and went to help set fire, Mo Chuhan also thought of his own silly wife who would be happy just seeing delicious food.
With this thought, Mo Chuhan also intended to go see if his wife needed any help.
After more than two hours of research, the women finally figured out how to make the long-eared rabbit.
At present, they had already made a semi-finished product in their hands.
Although it was called a semi-finished product, the only difference was that the body of the long-eared rabbit was not yet completed, but the contours on its head were clearly visible.
When Mo Chuhan walked over, he saw his wife sewing the rabbit's tail there.
Seeing her serious appearance made people feel tender-hearted when they looked at her.
So he sat down quietly beside his wife without making a sound.
Eighth Sister-in-law was concentrating so hard that she did not notice the arrival of her husband.
Seeing that he was completely ignored, Mo Chuhan deliberately coughed.
Eighth Sister-in-law heard the sound, turned her head to look at him, and smiled: "Why did you come over?"
Mo Chuhan took the semi-finished doll from his wife's hand and took a look, praised: “It looks really good.”
Seeing that her labor achievements were affirmed, Eighth Sister-in-law immediately smiled with joy.
"I think it looks very good too."
The interaction between the two attracted the eyes of the other women.
Everyone was envious of the Eighth Brother and Sister-in-law that the dead husband could come back alive. If their husbands were still alive, that would be great.
In the future, even if they could only live a humble life, it would be good to have someone to share the joys with.
Just like the Eighth Brother and Sister-in-law...
Because of Mo Chuhan's arrival, the attention of the women making dolls was divided, and they noticed that the Ninth Sister-in-law had already started preparing dinner in the distance.
Eldest Sister-in-law stood up first and called everyone over to help.
With the help of the sisters-in-law, He Zhiran was able to cook dinner much faster.
