Qin Xiaomi smiled, went back to the house, took out four pieces of white cotton, and continued dyeing.
When Grandpa Qin and the others returned from the stall, she had already dyed four pieces of red cloth and two pieces of orange cloth.
Grandpa Qin had already learned about her success in dyeing cloth, and hurried over. Looking at the six pieces of cloth hanging on the straw rope, he was stunned and looked at Qin Xiaomi, with a hidden look in his eyes. Complex expression: "Xiaomi..."
Qin Xiaomi said: "Grandpa, don't be in a hurry. How about burning them and waiting for the nine of us to discuss their fate?"
"...Okay." Grandpa Qin finally agreed and rushed to the front yard to let everyone go. He was not allowed to enter the backyard, and no one who knew that the red cloth had been dyed was allowed to tell anyone about it.
In the evening, Qin Xiaomi took the dried red cloth back to the house and took it out after finishing dinner and calculating today's income.
Qin Dashi and the others looked at the six pieces of cloth and were all shocked. He praised Qin Xiaomi: "Girl Xiaomi is really a lucky person. With the blessing of God, she not only made kudzu powder, but also made red rice flour." "Come on, we won't have to worry about wedding clothes anymore." thinking For your own use? You have to sell it for money. This grassroots red cloth is a big business. We must start it!"
Grandpa Qin said: "Tonight we are going to discuss this grassroots red cloth. Go or stay... Zhuhong is expensive, and good red cloth costs one tael per foot. If we keep this grass-root red cloth, we may be in trouble."
As soon as these words came out, several families were shocked. Very scared.
"Indeed, although this grassroot red cloth is good, it is not something we farmers can keep." Qin Dashi sighed, which was a pity.
Qin Cunquan looked at Qin Xiaomi and asked, "Girl Xiaomi, what are your plans for this red cloth? Do you want to keep the red cloth?"
Qin Xiaomi nodded heavily: " Not only do I want to keep it, I also want to sell the dye."
Grandma Qin said anxiously: "Xiaomi, this business can't be done. If you do it, it will cause disaster. We only have the business of eating arrowroot powder."
Qin Xiaomi: "Grandma, I know you are afraid, and I know you are right, but wealth is at stake. If you don’t dare to take big risks, you will have to live in poverty for the rest of your life. Are we living our lives just to be poor?”
"I won't live like this all my life. I want to do the dye business. I want to get rich. I want to earn enough money to survive the next disaster, so that the descendants of our family will no longer have to struggle to escape when faced with natural disasters!"< br>
Even if the wealthy families in Zhongyuan Prefecture fled from famine, they took a large amount of food, a large number of domestic slaves, and rode in carriages to comfortably settle in the wealthy city.
But because they were poor, they suffered a lot on the way to escape, and many of their relatives died!
After hearing this, Grandpa Qin became a little angry and spoke rudely: "I think you are obsessed with money. Although you dyed this red cloth alone, if something happens, it will be The whole family will suffer together, I can't just let you do it People have dragged the big guy into a dead end!"
After hearing this, Qin Xiaomi looked at the other families and asked them: "Uncles and aunts, are you willing to use your wealth and life to win a dye deal with me? Rich? ”
Jiang Dalang immediately said: "My Jiang family is willing... We escaped from famine and have experienced countless lives and deaths. I, Jiang Ying, am no longer afraid. I am willing to use my three lives and that of my brothers and sisters to accompany Xiaomi once!"
Qin Cunquan glanced at Su and Qin Jingyi and said, "My family is also willing to risk their lives for once."
He looked at Grandpa Qin and said: "Fifth Uncle, from fleeing the famine to settling down, we have been oppressed. I have had enough of this kind of life. I want to fight for once. If it succeeds, my sworn brother and his descendants There is no need to suffer anymore. If it doesn't work...it will just be death."
Compared to Cunying and the others, they have been living for a long time.
This?
Grandpa Qin was shocked when he heard this and looked at Qin Cunquan: "You are a scholar, you should be as gentle as jade, how could you say such murderous words."
Qin Cunquan smiled: "Fifth uncle, Azhuang used to I just said, Wen Officials are yuppie and ferocious. Without ferociousness, you can’t be an official just by relying on beautiful articles and gentleness. I didn’t understand it before, but after I escaped from the famine, I understood.”
Grandpa Qin. I choked up. Qin Liupo said: "Don't talk about this kind of culture, I don't understand... Xiaomi girl, just tell me, if we do this dye business, what are the chances of survival?"
"At least 70%." Qin Xiaomi explained to them: "Because we have the power of arrowroot as a new grain. This merit can be reported to the emperor, and adults pay attention to official reputation, and the emperor also pays attention to fortune. Therefore, even if our new dye business will compete with wealthy people for money, our lives will most likely be saved. When things get too tense, we have to share some of the benefits.”
Qin Liupo was overjoyed when she heard this: "This red cloth is a big deal. Even if we share some of the profits, we will still make a lot of money... My family will follow this deal!"
She also thought to herself, if it is true, At the moment when her family was exterminated, she drove away one of her sons and kept him as a heir.
Xu Erjun has already discussed it with his brother-in-law Qiao Songguo, and the two said: "Our Xu family and the Qiao family will also follow!"
Qin Eryong said hurriedly: "Then my family will also follow."
He and Xiao Liu have no children now, so if something happens, they have nothing to worry about.
So many people agreed, Qin Dashi and Qin Dayan gritted their teeth and followed suit.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Grandpa Qin patted Grandma Qin's hand, and after some comfort, he finally said: "Since everyone agrees, we old couple will not stop it."
< br>He looked at Qin Xiaomi: "However, you can't be too aggressive, you have to play it safe."
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will play it slow and steady."
That's Impossible.
She had to fully expand the dye business while everyone still remembered that the new arrowroot grain was made by her family!
Lest as time goes by, adults will not remember her contribution to the new grain of arrowroot, and they will join forces with wealthy people to swallow her dye recipes.
"Come on, come on, uncles and aunts, let's make a new document." Qin Xiaomi took out the document written in advance and asked eight families to sign: "In the dye business, each family takes half, but you It only has the right to share dividends, not to buy or sell shares. Only my family has the right to sell shares.”
If eight families can sell shares, wouldn’t it mean that we have to change a group of partners in the future? She won't do it.
Jiang Dalang: "My family signed it."
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said to him: "Thank you, Brother Dalang."
Jiang Dalang grinned with joy... Xiaomi called him Brother Dalang again.
After several families signed the documents, Qin Xiaomi gave the red cloth to Qiao Lizi: "Sister Lizi, use it to make a wedding dress. The dyed red cloth is so much that it can be used to make a dress for Brother Xu. The groom is happy.”
< br>Qin Xiaomi gave two more pieces of orange-red fabric to Aunt Xu and Aunt Qiao: "Sister Lizi and Brother Xu are getting married, and you two have to make clothes with good-looking colors, so that you can celebrate."
< br>This?
Aunt Xu and Aunt Qiao held the orange-red cloth and were so happy that they shed tears. They kept thanking Qin Xiaomi and gave her money: "This cloth also costs money, so you accept it."
Qin Xiaomi: “This is my makeup for Sister Lizi , how can we collect money? The two aunts should keep the money to hold a wedding bar. This is the first happy event after our nine families settled down. "
