Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 478: Buy the Whole Batch If the Quantity Is Enough

Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Buy the Whole Batch If the Quantity Is Enough

Unexpectedly, Yaozi, who would answer like this, fell silent.

A bit awkward!

Indeed, it wasn’t a suitable topic for a grown man to discuss with a young girl.

Then, he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Yi Chichi also stopped talking, and they both returned home in silence.

Three days later, Tang Ruoqing and Yu Ritang appeared at the Wen family home again.

"The stamps are done."

Tang Ruoqing took out a stamped certificate from the bag and handed it over, and then placed an unopened package on the table.

"This is the package of materials, and we haven’t opened it."

Yi Chichi acknowledged with a hum, first brewing some tea and offering dried fruits and seafood to entertain them, then took the certificate and carefully examined it. There were three official seals, including the provincial revolutionary committee’s seal.

Plus the seal from the Friendship Store, making a total of four.

With this certificate, any report against her would be useless, and her safety was guaranteed.

Seeing the smile on her face, Tang Ruoqing, as if seeking credit, said, "Originally there were only two seals, but I felt uneasy and asked my mom to get another seal from the revolutionary committee."

Yi Chichi praised, "This seal is well done."

It must be commended.

"Here, have a candy. This seal really hits the spot for me."

She diligently peeled a White Rabbit candy and handed it over.

Tang Ruoqing laughed heartily as she took the candy and put it in her mouth, giving Yu Ritang a look that said, "See, how foresighted I am."

Yu Ritang couldn’t be bothered with her, turned to Yi Chichi, and said, "Hurry up and open the package so we can check the materials."

Indeed, it needed to be opened.

It was necessary to check the fabric and thread; if any materials were missing, they needed to be replenished quickly. Otherwise, if a color of the embroidery thread was lacking when formally starting work, it would be troublesome.

The same goes for needles.

So, she responded with a hum, swiftly opened the package, and inspected the materials.

As soon as the silk was unfolded, Tang Ruoqing, seeing the almost transparent, thin-as-wings fabric, felt an itch to touch it.

Yi Chichi was startled and quickly stepped back, "Don’t touch it!"

Yu Ritang also grabbed her hand to stop her, "Your hands have cracks, they’ll snag the silk."

Tang Ruoqing, "..."

She looked at Yi Chichi’s hands, then Yu Ritang’s, and finally glanced at her own red, swollen hands that looked like radishes, with cracks on the fingers, murmured after a while, "Having chilblains is so annoying."

Yu Ritang actually had chilblains too, but not as severe as hers.

Among the three, Yi Chichi was the only one without chilblains.

To people in the Northeast, chilblains were an unspeakable pain.

They appeared every year and were treated every year, yet few people completely got rid of them.

Now, suddenly faced with someone who didn’t get chilblains, the two couldn’t hold back and asked in unison, "Chichi, why don’t you get chilblains?"

Yi Chichi was just about to put away the silk when she heard them and responded without looking up, "Used medicine."

Those who did embroidery not only needed to care for their eyes but also their hands.

For the sake of these eyes and hands, she didn’t know how much effort she had put in.

Taking out an ointment from the brick bed’s drawer, she said, "An ointment made by Uncle Yaozi, you guys should try it!"

In the past, she used to make the ointment herself; now she didn’t need to, she just had Uncle Yaozi make it.

When needed, she asked for it, and once he made it, she would buy it, which was economical.

Once the educated youth at the youth point knew, they also went to buy it.

Then it spread to the community members.

Now Uncle Yaozi’s ointment was selling very well.

Who wasn’t afraid of chilblains?

The feeling of pain and itchiness was indescribably uncomfortable.

Yu Ritang and Tang Ruoqing got excited when they heard this.

They didn’t bother with courtesy, opened the jar of ointment to try it out.

They raised their hands, then suddenly paused.

"How much should we take?"

Yi Chichi scooped up two clumps with a wooden spatula and placed them in their palms, "Just rub them in your palms and apply them all over your hands after they melt. It won’t take long for the effect to show."

"Alright!"

The two complied, and after trying it, they were amazed.

Once Yi Chichi finished checking the colors and quantities of embroidery threads and found there were more than enough, Yu Ritang asked, "Can we buy this ointment?"

"Yes, you can."

Glancing up at her, Yi Chichi said, "This matter has been cleared with your uncle’s unit, and anyone in need can buy it."

Anyway, the money made went into the brigade’s public account, and the more sold, the more the community members received.

Of course, Uncle Yaozi and Lang Hong got more too.

After all, the medicinal herbs needed to be picked, cultivated, processed, and made into ointment by him and Lang Hong.

She also had a share because the recipe was contributed by her.

Even though this recipe was later submitted by Mu Da, and she received a substantial reward, it didn’t affect her income from the prescription in Kao Shan Village.

Since it concerned her interests and those of the entire brigade, she would certainly promote it.

"You can buy more; your family can also use it."

The temperature in the provincial city was about the same as in Baoshan, which was really cold.

If the coal and heating supply was insufficient, it wouldn’t be surprising to freeze to death.

Getting chilblains was even less surprising.

No matter how warmly you dressed, if you were going to get chilblains, you would get them.

"If there’s enough stock, you could buy everything."

Tang Ruoqing said something shocking, causing Yi Chichi to pause for two seconds before advising, "It might not be necessary, since the ointment also has a shelf life."

"Oh?"

"Yes, the ointment needs to be used within a certain time after opening. If you buy too much and can’t use it all in time, it will be wasted."

"It’s not a problem for us; we have many friends and family."

Yi Chichi, "..."

Alright, she was worrying for nothing.

"I’ll take you to check it out later."

"Okay!"

Then the rest was simple. After she packed everything up and made Tang Ruoqing pay the remaining down payment from last time, she asked, "Would you like to sit for a while or head over directly?"

The two exchanged a glance and unanimously chose to head over directly.

They were eager to get the ointment.

So, Yi Chichi led them to the team doctor’s room.

It turned out that, unfortunately, Uncle Yaozi was out on a call, with only Lang Hong there.

Knowing their intentions, she was a bit troubled, "You’ll have to wait for Uncle Yaozi to come back; I can’t make the decision on this."

She was just a health worker, could treat illnesses and administer injections, but couldn’t handle selling the ointment.

Matters involving money, as an educated youth, she was resolute not to touch unless absolutely necessary.

"Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"No, we can wait for Uncle Yaozi to return and then come back."

It was already past three in the afternoon, and by the time they went to the commune, the buses to the county would have been long gone, so they had to stay overnight before leaving.

Lang Hong smiled when she heard this, "When Uncle Yaozi comes back, I’ll notify you at the brigade leader’s house, is that okay?"

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Lang."

Yu Ritang and the others weren’t new to Kao Shan Village; even if not familiar with the educated youth, they had seen one another before.

It was different for the educated youth, who knew Yu Ritang well.

Who wouldn’t, since she was Aunt Ma’s niece?

After coming to an agreement, Yi Chichi and the three left the room.

"Come over to my place and hang out."

She extended an enthusiastic invitation, which, unsurprisingly, was declined again.

"No, we’ll go directly to my aunt’s house."

Yu Ritang said with a smile, "I want to eat my aunt’s chicken stew with mushrooms and need to tell her to catch and kill a chicken."

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to eat it; the dish required time.

Yi Chichi laughed, "Then go ahead, I’ll walk you over."

"Sure!"

So the three of them chatted and laughed as they headed to the brigade leader’s house.
