Chu Qingzhi came to the mountain forest, picked a piece of boxwood, and carved a set of molds of the twelve zodiac signs with magic techniques. The carvings were the size of the palm, and the carvings on them were lifelike, very lifelike.
Then she started looking for fruits or vegetables of different colors.
After some selection, I selected five kinds of fruits: pear, banana, loquat, mulberry, and strawberry. For other unavailable colors, you can add a certain proportion of two kinds of fruit juices, or mix three kinds of fruit juices.
Once the ingredients are ready, you can start making.
Chu Qingzhi chose four careful girls to follow her.
Because it is necessary to adjust the color, one must be very careful. If it is not careful enough, the adjustment will not be good.
When the four girls were picked by Qingzhi, they danced for joy. They had long wanted to come. Chu Qingzhi gave everyone a penny a day. If they worked with her, they would earn two or three taels a month. You can't earn that much money in less than a year.
So when they were working, they studied very seriously, afraid that Chu Qingzhi would say that they couldn't do it and told them not to come.
If you study hard, you will learn quickly. You can get started in one afternoon, and one hundred sets of Chinese zodiac signs will be completed in the evening.
Chu Qingzhi generously gave shopkeeper Zhou a box, with a total of twelve compartments in the box, and each compartment contained a zodiac sign, which was just enough to hold a hundred.
Chu Qingzhi stopped Chu Xuhua, who was about to unload the goods, "Brother, send the ice cream to shopkeeper Zhou tomorrow morning."
Chu Xuhua looked at Chu Qingzhi with admiration, "Understood, Fifth Sister."
...
Chu Qingzhi called the four girls to the front, and explained, "From now on, you will come to make the twelve zodiac signs, and you can start work after finishing."
Chu Xiaotang was overjoyed and thanked, "Thank you, Sister Qingzhi."
Chu Qingzhi nodded with a smile, "You have worked hard today, go home and rest."
"Yes." The four girls went home happily.
...
On the way, Chu Xialan said happily, "Xiaotang, I seem to be dreaming."
Chu Xiaotang nodded, "Me too, I am too. We can earn money to support our family in the future. I am so happy."
Chu Lanzhen cried directly, "My father is seriously ill all the year round, and the whole family depends on my mother. Now I can also share the burden."
Chu Shujing asked puzzledly, "Lan Zhen, why didn't you ask Qing Zhi to see your father?"
Chu Lanzhen hesitated, "My father has been sick for ten years. It's so serious. After all, Qingzhi is young. I'm worried that she won't look well."
Chu Xialan persuaded, "You try it, see sister Qingzhi, she can also charge you less for the consultation, by the way, didn't you hear what the third wife said? Last time, sister Qingzhi picked it for her. Herbal medicine, she felt much better after drinking it for a day."
Chu Lanzhen's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Chu Xiaotang took the words, "It's true, everyone sees that the spirit of the third wife has improved a lot."
Chu Lanzhen happily said, "Then I'll go back and discuss it with my mother."
The three girls nodded together, "Yes."
...
Rongfu.
Since she met Chu Qingzhi from the Yamen, Madam Rong has been feeling uncomfortable, thinking about taking revenge on Chu Qingzhi and her son.
Rong Yupeng was also very upset. He kept thinking that Xu Wanrong came to beg him to marry him, and he also planned that if Xu Wanrong came to beg him, he would marry her reluctantly.
Although Xu Wanrong is the daughter of the richest man in the county, with countless wealth, but after all, he is a merchant with a low status. He is a scholar and already has fame, which no amount of money can buy.
Who knew that after so many days, there was no movement, which made him mad.
He came to Mrs. Rong's yard with a feeling of resentment, "Mother, mother..."
Mrs. Rong loved her second son so much that she regarded him as the hope of the Rong family. Upon hearing this, she immediately smiled, "Yupeng, you are here."
Rong Yupeng walked up to Mrs. Rong, "Mother, I heard someone say you are in a bad mood?"
Madam Rong's smile faded immediately, and she sighed, "Your elder brother is still in prison, how can I get better?"
Rong Yupeng asked in a low voice, "Mom, isn't the money easy to use?" His subtext was to ask the family to use money to bribe the county magistrate to release Rong Yufan as soon as possible.
Madam Rong shook her head, "It doesn't work, the county magistrate simply ignores us."
"How is it possible?" Rong Yupeng asked puzzled, "Brother, what he committed is not a big deal, why isn't the magistrate accommodating?"
"Mother can't figure it out clearly." Madam Rong said angrily, "It's because of Chu Qingzhi that your elder brother was put in jail, so Mother wants to teach that Chu Qingzhi a lesson."
"Chu Qingzhi really can't let it go." Rong Yupeng quickly united with Mrs. Rong, "How does Mother want to teach Chu Qingzhi a lesson?"
"Let her be ruined." Madam Rong's face was sullen, "By the way, when Chu Qingzhi came to reverse Shen Ruyue's case that day, there was a general by her side. Mother thought she must have climbed into the general's bed, so the general was willing to help. she."
"Mom, are you sure?" Rong Yupeng has seen Chu Qingzhi, who is not a beauty, can he be liked by the general? Is the general blind?
Mrs. Rong looked like someone who had come here, "Mother has lived in the back house for decades, a woman can't use any dirty tricks to seduce a man, then Chu Qingzhi is a yellow-haired girl with no background, why should the general help her? "
Rong Yupeng still didn't believe it, "Mother is right, but Chu Qingzhi is not pretty, can she seduce the general?"
Mrs. Rong said, "You don't understand this. What is the status of the general? He has never seen any beauties, but he gets tired of seeing too many beauties. It is not impossible to change to wild vegetables."
Rong Yupeng thought, "If this is the case, then this matter will be easy to handle."
Madam Rong looked at Rong Yupeng, "Do you have a solution?"
Rong Yupeng sneered, "Mother, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely ruin Chu Qingzhi's reputation and make her notorious all over the world!"
...
Chu Family Village.
In the room, Chu Qingyue used scissors to cut off the excess threads on the clothes, and then unfolded them to appreciate them carefully.
This is a very simple dress with a doll collar, mid-waist, mid-sleeves, and ruffles on the sleeves and skirt. Although it is a brown dress, it has a touch of playfulness, and the whole dress immediately becomes lively.
Chu Qingzhi walked into the room, just in time to see this scene, "Second Sister, how many clothes are you ready?"
Chu Qingyue pointed to a pile of clothes piled up next to her, "There are twenty pieces."
Chu Qingzhi took a look at all twenty pieces of clothing, and there was nothing to say about the quality of each piece, "This quantity is enough. I'll go to Sang Wanlu tomorrow and open the store."
Chu Qingyue nodded with some longing.
Chu Qingzhi folded her clothes, "Second Sister, you go with me tomorrow to find out the way."
Chu Qingyue became restrained, hesitated and said, "Fifth Sister, it's not good for Second Sister to go?"
"What's wrong." Chu Qingzhi turned to look at Chu Qingyue, "Second Sister, have you forgotten what I told you?"
Chu Qingyue hesitated, "No, but..."
Chu Qingzhi interrupted the other party, and encouraged, "Second sister, be more confident, you have to believe that you can do it."
Hesitating for a moment, Chu Qingyue nodded firmly, "Second sister listens to you."
I wish everyone auspicious Year of the Tiger.
