Farming Comb Paintings Return Home

Ten days have passed since the last time the comb was sold, Xiao Xian hid the ten coins he earned at the bottom of the wooden box, and never told Li Cong.When the idea of ​​doing business comes together, the thoughts in my mind don't stop.

It's just that this business is simple, but there are many considerations.

First of all, woodcarving must take a lot of effort to learn, and you have to ask Li Cong.But looking at the boxes of boxing, military books, and mechanism studies at home, and hearing from him that his father used to be an official, he guessed that he was probably from a family of generals, and his father worked in an institution that supervises the development of weapons in the army. , It is not surprising to know some carpentry.The mechanism is exquisite, but the carving is probably not good at it. The rabbit that he asked him to engrave on the comb last time can barely be seen. It is far from exquisite, so Li Cong probably can't teach it. How much is he.

But it is impossible not to work hard on the pattern.The comb is so easy to imitate, it can be said that there is no technical content in it, and it can be fiddled with with a single glance.If you make up your mind to start a comb business, you must make this gadget into fineness.The effect of combing hair is the most basic. If it can lead to the trend of women's hair accessories, it will not be far from success.Therefore, the style and style must be carefully considered. If you can do other things and not only recognize your family, the business will be smooth.

Everyone has the love of beauty, especially women.So no matter which era, women's money is the best earned.Not only hair accessories, but also incense boxes, wooden hairpins, etc. can be deliberated.There are a lot of wood on the mountain, which is suitable for the current poor and poor situation.As for the situation in Donglang that Li Cong told him earlier, jade is the venerable, presumably the poor will not pay much attention to the texture of wooden hairpins and combs, and it doesn't hurt to buy cheap, good-looking and affordable things.

So in the final analysis, the comb business is still a job that depends on craftsmanship. If you can find a master who is proficient in carpentry, you can learn it for a year or so.Although Xiao Xian, as a modern person, must have better aesthetics and knowledge than the ancients, and his elder brother studied art before, and he learned it quite well, so he probably wouldn't be too bad as a younger brother, but there is an experienced master here A side note, it's better than him figuring it out by himself.

Regardless of whether there is a market or not, how to mass-produce wooden combs is another problem.It must be too slow to rely on him to make it by hand. If he really makes a name for himself, but the sales can't keep up, isn't it just giving up the business opportunity to others?It would be easy if all the people who know carpentry around the county can be gathered together to run the business.

Besides, how to sell in the future, if you need to go out every day like a hawker, you won't have time to make combs.It would be great if it could be put in a jewelry store for consignment, without having to take care of it by myself, and only thinking about the supply.But Xiao Xian hasn't visited the county yet, and he doesn't know if Qingliu County is the same as some towns in the Tang Dynasty, where there are strict regulations on what kind of business and what kind of shops to open.He only heard Li Cong talk about the current situation in various countries, and he never mentioned the things in Qingliu County to him.It seems that Li Cong also felt a little resentful towards this poor place in his heart, and he didn't bother to care about the outside world, otherwise he wouldn't have been stuck in a small mountain village for six years, only doing the most low-level menial work that didn't need to please people.

Although Xiao Xian was mischievous, his thoughts were clear. He could see Li Cong's every word and deed on weekdays, and he could understand it.He wanted to make money, a lot of money, and he didn't want his brother to live such a hard life, but he didn't want Li Cong to worry about these things.So after thinking about it so far, Li Cong has not been included in the plan.He wants to start a business of his own in a serious and serious manner, so that he can support the whole family as Li Cong has always done.

Xiao Xian lay on the couch, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that making money by making combs was feasible, but he didn't know what other people thought.After all, he is not from here, the time and space are so wrong, and there must be great differences in all aspects of behavior and thinking, so I have to find someone to ask.

But who should I ask?Xiao Xian found sadly that besides Li Cong, there was really no one he knew and trusted.Although Huichuntang is full of people coming and going every day, it is a good place to investigate the market, but his own ideas have not yet formed. If the secret is leaked out, others will grab it first, let alone the first pot of gold. No, I made a wedding dress for someone in vain.Therefore, it is definitely not appropriate to ask someone who is not familiar with it. After thinking about it, I have to bite the bullet and ask Zhao Ruqiu again.But what Xiao Xian didn't expect was that before he went to find the unscrupulous doctor, he was caught by Zhao Ruqiu and taught him a lesson, and inadvertently revealed something that shocked him greatly.

Xiao Xian and Li Cong stayed at Zhao Ruqiu's place for more than half a month. Xiao Xian's health was getting better and the new house was almost finished, but Li Cong never mentioned going back.Just a few days after the night when Xiao Xian fell ill and Li Cong was stopped by Wang Yong who was guarding the city to make things difficult, Zhao Ruqiu told Li Cong that Wang Yong was looking around for Xiao Xian in the city.Zhao Ruqiu is not a good person to get along with, and backed by the big boss of Huichuntang, Wang Yong, a rascal, dare not blatantly go to the medical clinic to find trouble, but he is not dead-hearted. You can see that there is nothing good in mind.

After Li Cong heard this, he frowned immediately, and asked someone to inquire about Wang Yong. He knew that he didn't like masculinity, but he didn't know what his intentions were. I couldn't help but feel worried, so I thought of a way to get rid of him.

In fact, it was not a clever way, but he answered Wang Yong's doubts as if asking someone to chat.Since Wang Yong wanted to ask about Xiao Xian, he didn't say that there was no such person, but that he was Li Cong's distant cousin, who came over to play a while ago, and left after staying for a few days.Li Cong's family was building a house and was planning to marry a wife. He told the matchmaker of Miss Meng from Mengjia Village in the neighboring county that the female relatives would be married in a few days.

When Wang Yong heard the name of the Meng girl, he shivered suddenly.He had seen the Meng girl in Mengjia Village with his own eyes. Not only was she extremely ugly, she was also extremely arrogant. She was in her thirties and was not allowed to be accepted by others. After three points of the letter, Li Cong stepped forward to make a chance encounter, honored Wang Yong's wine money, stuffed him with two red eggs and a bag of wedding candy, and told the truth about the marriage, Wang Yong No more trouble.

Li Cong thanked the villagers who helped to speak, thinking that Xiao Xian would not run into Wang Yong again in the future, and that nothing serious would happen, so he decided to take Xiao Xian home to live.

Although Li Cong lived at Zhao Ruqiu's place, his job at Tianxiang Building was not missed for a single day. Seeing that Xiao Xian's illness was almost recovered, he set a date to move back.Li Cong went out early and returned late every day, so he didn't have time to discuss with Xiao Xian, so he asked Zhao Ruqiu to help clean it up, and told Xiao Xian by the way that we would go home together when it was dark at night.

Zhao Ruqiu nodded and agreed to this matter, and after a busy afternoon, he went to Xiao Xian's wing room, and while walking, he thought about Xiao Xian's staying with him for a while, not making noise or making trouble all day long, just lying on the bed obediently to recuperate, what to eat What, he drank the medicine without saying a word, he was quite sensible, and when he was with Li Cong, he didn't do anything beyond the rules to make him unhappy, so he couldn't help but look more pleasing to the eye.Unexpectedly, when he entered the door, he saw Xiao Xian holding the edge of the bed with one hand and stretching out the other hand, leaning his body to the outside of the bed. , rushed in and helped the man lie back on the couch, and mourned impatiently: "Ancestor! Can you calm down for me? Do you want to throw yourself to death?"

"No, I'm just picking things up..." Xiao Xian scratched his head.It turned out that he accidentally dropped the contents of the box on the ground.Although Zhao Ruqiu said that he could go down to the ground a long time ago, but this time Li Cong watched closely, how dare he go down to the ground secretly.

Zhao Ruqiu crossed his hips and looked at the debris, knives and wood all over the floor. Just now he felt that he saved trouble, and he really couldn't stand the praise, so he sighed and said, "I said you messed with this and that all day long, what are you doing? What? You just lie down, can't you? It's almost time to go, if something happens to me, that bastard Li Cong will have to work hard with me again!"

Xiao Xian was blocked by Zhao Ruqiu, staring at the wood chips kicked far away by Zhao Ruqiu on the ground, and hearing Zhao Ruqiu's question, he thought it would be a good opportunity to ask about business, so he didn't care about the things on the ground, it was decided He calmed down and said: "Doctor Zhao, I have something to ask you. I wonder if you have time to listen to me?"

Zhao Ruqiu was taken aback when he heard the words.This soft and cowardly voice would be quite useful if it was a girl's family, but he doesn't like masculinity, but as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face. Zhao Ruqiu coughed, picked up the things that fell on the ground, and put them back into the box , said: "what's the matter?"

Xiao Xian cleared his throat, and said: "Doctor Zhao, I don't look good when I'm idle all day, I just want to start a small business to earn some money to help the family. I want to start a comb business, which is similar to hair accessories Things, I want to ask if there are any written or unwritten rules or taboos in this county if you are doing business? I also want to ask Dr. Zhao if he has any knowledge..."

Xiao Xian said a lot of nonsense, Zhao Ruqiu didn't understand his words at all, and said impatiently: "What comb? What business? What the hell are you talking about?"

Although Zhao Ruqiu's tone was not kind, but others have always been like this, Xiao Xian didn't care about it, he just thought it was good if he was willing to talk to others, so he happily took the comb off his neck and handed it to Zhao Ruqiu, explaining: "It's this thing, called Combs, for combing hair, I saw that you don’t have any here, so I thought that selling this thing might make money, don’t think it’s small, it’s really useful, you try it?”

Xiao Xian said in a good voice, and then passed the comb to Zhao Ruqiu with a smile, but Zhao Ruqiu's eyes moved to the comb, and immediately changed his face, frowning silently for a while, and said aggressively: "You did this yourself?"

Xiao Xian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"Who did it for you?" Zhao Ruqiu asked.In fact, he knew who made it when he saw the pattern on it, but he couldn't believe it, so he asked again.

"It's my brother..." Xiao Xian lowered his head and murmured back. Seeing Zhao Ruqiu's expression was unkind, he thought to himself that he had touched his sore tendon again. Zhao Ruqiu jumped up, shook his sleeves and groaned a few times, but he couldn't figure out the expression on his face. He seemed to be in disbelief and hated that iron could not be made into steel. He pointed at the pattern on Xiao Xian's wooden comb with shaking fingers and said, "Do evil!" Ah... a crime! Do you know what this is?!"

Xiao Xian stared, not knowing why.

Zhao Ruqiu sighed loudly, calmed down with his hands for a while, and then shouted sullenly: "This is the family emblem of his Li family! Just because of you, who rides thousands of people and rides thousands of people, you actually engraved the family emblem bestowed by the emperor Playing on this rotten wood, it's really... really good! He wants to make Uncle Li jump out of the ground so angry that he can teach him a lesson?!"
