Chapter 340 Shocked Old Lady Hua
Shen Zhiqiu, who was eavesdropping at the door, looked at Li Jingshu, and his meaning was very clear: "What is your daughter going to do? Why doesn't she want to play with us now?"
Li Jingshu rolled her eyes silently, her meaning was very clear: "How should I know?"
The two of them continued to eavesdrop tacitly, while Shen Youyou continued to fool around: "Grandma, think about it, apart from the share my father gives you, how much money can you get for working? I'll do the math for you.
For example, after deducting all expenses, the total profit was 100 taels of silver, and the total share of everyone was about 900. However, 40 taels of this 100 taels belonged to my father, and 10 taels were given to the old house.
So everyone can share 50 taels, so each share is about 55 wen.
What this means is that your personal share is divided into two parts. If you earn a total of one hundred taels, you will only earn one hundred and ten cents.
Grandma, I'm even more miserable because my father gets 40% of the total dividends, and I don't have a penny. Oh, and my mother doesn't have any either. But my family's money is kept by my mother, so she doesn't care whether there are dividends or not."
Old Mrs. Hua hasn't figured it out yet. She can't figure out how to calculate the bill. It's too troublesome. She has never really understood it. How did her granddaughter calculate it so quickly?
But thinking about what her granddaughter said, she didn't think about whether 110 cents was a lot or not, but asked directly: "Your father spoils you like that, how can he not give you money to spend when you want it?"
Shen Youyou looked incredulous: "Grandma, how can you think like that? Is asking for money the same as spending your own money?
You have always been so strong-willed. I cannot believe that you can say such a thing. When the time comes, grandpa will get more than you, my uncles, my aunt, and even my elder and second brothers will get more than you.
You can only earn the same amount of money as my elder sister and my second sister. Are you willing to accept that? By the way, the only people who earn less than you, not counting my mother, are me, Yuanbao, and Lulu in our family."
The old lady was not convinced by her granddaughter's words: "I am their mother too, so I have to hand over all the money they earn, not to mention that there is still the ten taels of silver in the total share, right?"
"Do you think you can just use the ten taels to buy anything you want? Even if no one dares to stop you from spending the money, you will still feel embarrassed.
Your thoughts: Oh, I don't earn much to begin with. If I spend this ten taels, what will I do if my family is short of money in the future? What if there is an emergency?
I will definitely be timid by then. How can this work? I have to think of a way to make money faster than my father and his friends, and have one more way than them. A horse cannot grow fat without grass at night!"
"Your words hit the nail on the head. I'm definitely reluctant to spend the ten taels."
"Yeah, I know you're reluctant to part with it. Besides, if my father's business becomes big in the future,
When people see you, they say, "This is Mr. Shen's mother."
Listen to what I said. When introducing yourself, I have to talk about my father first. We have all become his accessories.
If we start our own business and it gets bigger,
People would say, "Oh my! You don't even know this old lady? Everyone in this city knows that this old lady is the boss of a certain place!"
Can it feel the same?”
Old Mrs. Hua's head was originally resting on Shen Youyou's pillow. She was very tired after a day's work and wanted to lie down for a while.
But after hearing this, she sat up straight. She didn't know what that feeling was, as if what her little granddaughter said, "This is old lady Hua from the east family," was true. She felt inexplicably warm in her heart.
In the past, she had thought about her third son passing the imperial examination and she would be his mother. She even thought before going to bed or in the dead of night that if her third son passed the imperial examination and she became the wife of an official, she would be the wife of an official.
But she really never imagined that one day, regardless of anyone, when people introduced her, she would be referred to as "this is so-and-so" instead of "this is the mother of so-and-so" as she had thought before.
She grabbed her granddaughter's hand and said, "You don't have to say anything. Just tell me what we are going to do."
Shen Zhiqiu and Li Jingshu, who were eavesdropping outside, looked at each other again and silently said to each other with their mouths: "Look how good your daughter is at fooling the old lady. She has fooled the old lady."
Shen Youyou comforted her: "Grandma, wait a minute and I'll show it to you."
What are you looking at?
After a while, the old lady rubbed her eyes, and then rubbed her eyes again.
She saw her little granddaughter take out a large purple peony flower from a wooden box. She had only seen this kind of flower on the silk that the official gave her when she was fleeing from famine, but that one looked like a painting, woven and not real.
But the purple flower in the little granddaughter's hand looked like it had naturally curved petals. Just looking at it, it looked like a real flower, blooming beautifully.
The old lady was more and more shocked as she looked at it. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide. After a long while, her first words were: "Is this a fake flower?"
Shen Youyou smiled confidently: "Of course, I made it out of plastic, what do you think?"
After saying this, she tilted her head and smiled at the old lady, "Grandma, do you think anyone would buy this kind of flower as a headdress?"
"How?"
"Plastic changes shape when it's heated and sets when it's cooled. We start by making this cardboard-like plastic sheet," she said, pulling out a piece of plastic to show her grandmother.
"Use it to cut out the shape of the petals, then bend the petals while roasting them over a fire, and finally piece the petals together. The color is the same as the powder made from the ground Zhuge flowers that we dried before.
But to do this business, you have to spend money to buy dyes of various colors. Of course, you can also temporarily find some plants of different colors in the wild and dry them to make dyes, but it is definitely not complete. "
Old Lady Hua felt that her wallet was empty. Even as an old lady like her, she knew that dye was very expensive.
However, the granddaughter's words were still very attractive, especially the words of the boss.
The old lady didn't know how she floated out of her granddaughter's room. She was so excited that she felt like she was stepping on cotton.
"That sentence from the boss is really encouraging!"
"The flowers made by my granddaughter look just like the real ones. How beautiful would it be if my wife and daughter-in-law put them in their hair?"
"Don't mention the young wives and girls, even an old lady like her would be happy to take a few more glances at her. It's really rare."
Besides, rich people are also human beings. Wouldn’t they be surprised when they see it?
She even felt that this flower made into a headdress was definitely not like the shoe soles made by his San'er, which were sold for a few cents.
So the little granddaughter asked him, "Is there anyone buying it?"
Although she didn't have time to answer at the time, she said: "Someone must buy it. How could no one buy it?"
We ordinary people would really like to split a penny into eight petals, but for rich people, spending one or two taels of silver to buy something they like is nothing.
Especially since this flower is made to look just like a real one and never withers. Not only the rich, but even those who are getting married may buy one as a treasure in their drawers.
In fact, just now, her little granddaughter just casually made a small flower in front of her, by warming herself by the fire and fiddling with it.
The old lady couldn't imagine how beautiful it would look if there were flowers of various colors matched together. She didn't know how her little granddaughter could make a flower just by tinkering with it.
