Capítulo 1100: Chapter 1100: 45 Ways to Make Money
An Dafu still shook his head, “No, Erlaizi mainly makes a living by sneaky thievery instead of honest work. I can’t stoop to his level!”
“Isn’t there supposed to be high-yield grain in the world now? Why are we still so poor? We can’t even afford to eat!” An Ning doubted.
“Around Cuishi Town, most of the land is mixed with stones, and the soil is hard, making it difficult to grow anything properly. Because of the high-yield grain, the villagers here live much better than before. In the past decades, life was truly miserable, with countless cases of selling children. Additionally, since Erlaizi is idle and Gao Family’s eldest, Gao Yaozu, needs money for exams and studies, these two families are especially poor.”
Erlaizi often roams around, so the useful information that An Dafu receives is far more than An Ning’s.
Seeing An Ning’s little face full of worry, An Dafu said, “Alright, don’t worry. Erlaizi still has more than ten mu of land. If it cos to it, selling the land will be enough to cover gambling debts, at least for a while. Once Dad’s injury heals, we’ll find a way to make money.”
“Alright then,” An Ning said.
From childhood to now, she has relied on An Dafu to live. After struggling to travel back in ti, she hoped to use her abilities, but it turned out to be a bit of a letdown.
However, just being able to resolve An Dafu’s gambling debts is more than she could ask for at the mont, so she won’t wish for more.
An Ning believes that as long as the two of them are together, there is nothing they can’t overco.
It might be because she’s been too tired these past two days that as soon as she lay down at ho, An Ning quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, before it was light, the sound of sawing wood in the courtyard outside woke her up.
The noise was so loud that she couldn’t sleep.
An Ning got up, dressed, and opened the door to go out.
In the yard, Gao Mude was sawing wood. Looking at the thick sawdust on the ground, he must have been working alone in the yard for half a day already.
“Dad, did you get another job?” An Ning asked.
Gao Mude took the opportunity to straighten up, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and replied, “No, us farming folk only make boxes when soone gets married. Your mother has been through a lot these days, and while I’m idle at ho, I thought I might as well make so benches to sell in town. The wood from the mountains doesn’t cost anything; as long as we can exchange it for copper coins, we’re not at a loss, and even if we just buy a few eggs, they can help nourish your mother.”
Right, last night she was brainstorming with her dad and sohow she forgot about Gao Mude’s woodworking skills!
Plus, Uncle Gao Dagen is good at weaving baskets, these are all crafts, which could also be a source of inco if utilized well!
Thinking this, An Ning took a few steps forward, smiling ingratiatingly, “Dad, I have a great idea to make money, want to hear it?”
Gao Mude was amused, “What money-making idea could a little girl like you have? Listen, stop fooling around, go inside and keep your mother company, make sure Xiaoniu doesn’t tire her out.”
“I’m serious. Making benches isn’t going to earn much. Why not make so delicate small items to sell? People in town aren’t short of money. As long as the price is right and the product piques their curiosity, they will be easy to sell,” An Ning said.
No doubt, Gao Mude was tempted by An Ning’s words.
Taking a breath, Gao Mude said, “Making delicate small items could indeed bring in money, but although I have woodworking skills, I’m not creative like others who can make good stuff. All I can do is make boxes and benches or install windows and such.”
