Chapter 414 Not Enough People
"Sister!" Lu Xiaocao insisted.
Gu Qingqing reached out and took little Gu Qi from her hand and put him on her lap, then said, "Anything else is fine, but we can't send little Gu Qi back. I haven't cherished him enough yet."
"Wenrou has to take care of Xiao Nuannuan. It's okay for her to hold Xiao Guqi occasionally, but she can't hold him for a long time. Daxin is responsible for almost all the running errands and physical work at home, and he also helps Uncle Yang with cooking. We can't just let him take care of Xiao Guqi." Lu Xiaocao talked about the situation at home.
Gu Qingqing was more aware of the situation at home. There were too many bean sprouts at home and they really needed someone to look after them.
Although she knew it clearly, she still insisted on her own idea, "That won't work either. How can a child not be with his mother since childhood?"
Gu Qingqing paused here, and suddenly thought of something. She looked at Lu Xiaocao and said, "The fields are not busy now, why don't I bring my mother over? She takes care of the children at home and here too. My family is big and lively, and there's someone to chat with her."
Lu Xiaocao's eyes lit up, but after a while the light in her eyes gradually faded. "Sister, Dad still needs someone to take care of him."
Gu Qingqing made a tut sound, "Where's Gu Zhuangzhuang? Can't he come to serve me at home?"
Lu Xiaocao restrained her expression and said, "At home, my mother never lets Zhuangzhuang cook. She said that if she asked him to cook for three days, he would eat all the food in one day."
Gu Qingqing clicked her tongue again.
Given Gu Zhuangzhuang's greedy nature, he can definitely do this.
After a long while, Gu Qingqing said again, "Let's leave it this way for now. Let me think about it and I'll tell you when I've made up my mind."
"Well, then I'll hold little Gu Qi and feed him first."
Lu Xiaocao went to the backyard, leaving Gu Qingqing alone lying on a recliner in the inner yard, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan and watching her two daughters running and playing in the yard.
......
Soon Geng Chunhua brought Chen Wenfang here. They were all from the same village, so even if they didn't have much contact with each other, they knew each other a little. After Gu Qingqing briefly explained the treatment to the other party, she saw that the other party nodded eagerly. So Gu Qingqing took out the contract written by Old Yang for her and asked the other party to put his fingerprints on it.
"You can come to work at my house tomorrow. You may be busy in the first few days, but you will get better with practice and do it faster."
Chen Wenfang was like an employee who had been unemployed for many years and finally found a job. She nodded and agreed to everything the boss said.
They left when they saw that they had almost finished talking.
Before Gu Qingqing had a moment of leisure, Wang Baoyu came back, also carrying a wooden box. "Qingqing, if it were you, Xiaocao and the others should bring my money box back from tomorrow, otherwise I would not feel safe even if I carried it in the ox cart."
Gu Qingqing got up from the recliner and sat down, pointing to a bench in the yard for her to sit on first, then said, "Okay, let Xiaocao and the others bring it back tomorrow. That way you won't have to worry. How's business today?"
"Listen." Wang Baoyu said, shaking the box in his hand. He heard a rustling sound coming from inside. "There is another good news today. The scar removal ointment you put in the store sold one today. I heard that the other party said he was injured some time ago, but he was cured and only had scars on his arms and hands. I don't know where he heard that our store has such ointment, so he bought one today."
As Wang Baoyu spoke, he opened the money box and saw a piece of silver weighing about five taels quietly placed inside.
Gu Qingqing couldn't believe it at all. She raised her hand and gave Wang Baoyu a thumbs up. To put it bluntly, she put the ointment there just as a decoration and she didn't really expect to sell it.
However, she suddenly thought of another thing, that is, Feng Zhijin should have come to her house to get medicine two days ago, but several days have passed and he has not come.
Gu Qingqing whispered, "Could it be that the scar has healed? That shouldn't be the case. The effect of the medicine shouldn't be so fast."
Wang Baoyu saw that Qingqing was very happy when she took a puff, but she started talking to herself when she took the next puff.
"Qingqing, what are you talking about?"
Gu Qingqing seemed to be absent-minded in class when the teacher called her name, and she hurriedly said, "Nothing."
After she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong, and then smiled awkwardly, "I was just thinking about something. I made the shampoo today, and I'll put it in a jar for you, and you can take it back tomorrow. I'll ask my family to make a jar out of a bamboo tube, and then you can sell it for ten cents a jar. If a customer asks you how many times a jar can be used..." Gu Qingqing glanced at Wang Baoyu's hair and continued, "Just show them your hair. You said that hair like yours can be used two or three times. If you use it sparingly, it's not impossible to use it four times."
"Okay, I've remembered it all. Is it a full can or an 80% can? I see some soy sauce and vinegar vendors in town sell them in 80% cans." Wang Baoyu asked.
"Haha, let's not do that kind of thing, just play full."
"Then what should we use to serve it? Or do we need the guests to bring their own small jars?" Wang Baoyu suddenly asked.
"I'll bring you some bamboo tubes tomorrow. You can use them first and then tell the customers that if conditions permit, they can be put into clean small jars after they buy them. If not, you can continue to use bamboo tubes. Later, I will try to order a batch of small jars, and then we can sell them directly."
Then Gu Qingqing talked to the other party about some selling techniques and asked him to pay more attention to customers' needs. When she sent Wang Baoyu away, she happened to see Li Xin coming back with a bamboo basket on his back.
"Daxin, you picked up more than half a basket today. Are there more on the mountain?"
Li Xin was a little worried. "It's a lot, but most of them have rotted. We picked out the good ones. Auntie, do you think they can be used?" After saying that, he turned the bamboo basket behind him in front of Gu Qingqing and let her see it.
Gu Qingqing took a look at the things in the frame and said, "Very good, it works. Thank you for your hard work, Daxin."
Li Xin grinned after receiving the compliment, "Aunt, I am not afraid of hard work."
"Well, go home quickly."
Gu Qingqing asked Li Xin to go back first. She stood at the door and did not rush back. When the sun was about to set, she saw Zhao Nan and his three brothers and Old Yang coming back. Gu Qingqing hurried forward and said, "Brother Nan, I have something urgent to trouble you with."
......
The next day, there were not only various foods on the donkey cart, but also two bamboo baskets on the back, one containing soap and the other containing a bamboo tube.
There was also a large jar of shampoo in the car.
Lu Xiaocao, who was in charge of driving the car today, would touch his hair from time to time, and sigh in his heart that the things made by his sister were just so good.
Yesterday, my sister used the remaining medicinal residue and boiled some water. She used it to wash the hair of not only her but all the children in the family.
She didn't know about the others, but she and Shengxi washed their hair together, and after using the shampoo that her sister mentioned, her hair became fluent after a slight comb. Not only that, she always felt that her hair was extremely fresh, smooth and silky, and had a unique fragrance.
This resulted in some of her hair sliding down when she combed it today.
