Chapter 222 Dad, the schoolbags my aunt made became popular.
Sanmao scratched his head, feigning difficulty, and said:
I don't know if my mother can help you with this.
These schoolbags were all made by my mother in her spare time for us.
Moreover, this backpack is windproof and waterproof.
Even if it rains, the books inside won't get wet.
The student's eyes widened even more.
His face was full of surprise and envy.
"Oh, it has this function too!"
Sanmao, your mother is truly amazing!
You must ask your mother for me!
I really love the Peter Rabbit story.
If only I could carry a backpack with Peter Rabbit on it!
I'm absolutely thrilled.
Take this tael of silver as a deposit.
If that's not enough, I'll go home and ask my parents for more.
As he spoke, he stuffed the silver into Sanmao's hand.
Sanmao and Li Mingxuan exchanged a glance, and Li Mingxuan said:
"Sanmao, since we're all classmates..."
Don't hold back, just accept the deposit.
Ask my aunt to make one for my classmate too.
Consider it a small favor.
Sanmao hesitated for a moment.
Looking at the eager eyes of my classmates,
He finally nodded.
He carefully took the silver and said:
"Alright then, I'll accept the deposit first."
But I still maintain that I need to ask my mother first.
If she is really too busy,
Please don't mind.
"Don't worry, don't worry, we understand."
As long as your mother is willing to help.
We're happy to wait however long it takes.
The student who paid the deposit said with a beaming smile.
Seeing this, the other students also gathered around.
"Sanmao, I'll also make a deposit here first."
Ask your mother to make one for me too.
"Me too, me too!"
I want to order a Peter Rabbit backpack too.
For a moment, everyone was talking at once, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Stone and Er Mao also helped out.
Sanmao dealt with it somewhat hurriedly.
He said repeatedly:
"Everyone, don't rush, let's take it one at a time."
I'll write them all down.
Do you all like my Peter Rabbit backpack?
Actually, pandas, dragons, and huskies...
You can choose whichever you like.
Upon hearing this, the students erupted in an uproar.
I still think Peter Rabbit is cute.
I really want the Peter Rabbit one.
"I like the Little Dragon Man; he looks so majestic."
It would definitely look cool to carry it on my back.
"Pandas are nice too, they're so cute!"
Besides, I've never seen a real one before; it would be so novel to have it drawn on a schoolbag.
Sanmao listened to everyone's choices.
He was diligently taking notes in his notebook.
"Okay, there are people who like Peter Rabbit..."
"I like Little Dragon Man..."
Li Mingxuan watched from the side, pondering to himself.
This is a significant business opportunity.
If it can be operated properly
Maybe it can really help my aunts expand this business.
After Sanmao had finished recording, he said loudly:
"Everyone, please calm down!"
Since so many classmates like it,
We'll go back and discuss it with our elders.
Let's see how we can meet everyone's needs.
But this may take some time, so please be patient.
We will notify you immediately if we have any news.
The students nodded in agreement.
Although I'm full of anticipation, I also know that I can't rush it.
Finally, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Sanmao, Li Mingxuan, Shitou, and Ermao all breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving Sanmao, Li Mingxuan,
Shi Tou and Er Mao both breathed a sigh of relief.
Stone asked:
"Sanmao, let me check the number of people who have paid the deposit."
Quickly count how much silver we've collected.
"We absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake!"
Hearing what the stone said,
Sanmao nodded and slowly opened his schoolbag.
"One ounce, two ounces, three ounces..."
With Sanmao's clear voice counting out,
The silver coins were arranged in a row in his palm.
The sunlight shone down, making it shimmer with silver light.
After counting the last ingot of silver, Sanmao looked up.
With a hint of nervousness and excitement in his eyes, he said:
"The total is thirty-eight taels of silver,"
"How many people did we record? We didn't make any mistakes, did we?"
Shi Tou quickly glanced at the piece of paper with names written on it in his hand.
Said:
"That's right, thirty-eight people have paid the deposit."
It seems everyone's enthusiasm for schoolbags is even greater than we thought.
Li Mingxuan frowned slightly, his expression somewhat worried:
"Although we've already ordered all the schoolbags..."
Everyone is willing to wait.
But now we have so much silver...
What should I do?
Er Mao said with a smile,
"Brother Mingxuan,"
I reckon more people will be asking us to pay deposits soon.
You are a bit older than all of us.
Why don't you keep this silver for now?
After today's classes are finished,
Take the silver and the registration form back to your home.
"Find a way to send the silver and the registration form to my mother,"
The group exchanged glances and all agreed with what Er Mao had said.
Li Mingxuan nodded and said.
"Okay, then I'll put all the silver in my schoolbag."
I carried it with me all day long. Er Mao was right.
Maybe someone else will want the backpack later.
After I finish my classes today, I'll go home for a bit.
"Let my dad go see my aunt."
As Er Mao predicted, during the break between classes,
A few more classmates gathered around.
His eyes were full of anticipation:
"Sanmao, we also want to order schoolbags."
"Could you ask your mom to make one for me too?"
As he spoke, he handed the silver to Sanmao.
Sanmao was stunned.
He then gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Sure, but the backpacks will probably take a while to make."
You all know the material of this backpack.
The cloth shops don't sell them at all.
My mother made them all herself; it took her a lot of time.
One of the students nodded eagerly:
"It's alright, Sanmao, we're not afraid to wait."
As long as your mother can help us, that's fine.
We all love the story of Peter Rabbit.
They all wanted a Peter Rabbit backpack.
Sanmao looked at the sincere eyes of her classmates,
My heart is filled with emotion.
At the same time, I also felt a greater sense of responsibility.
"Alright, since everyone trusts me so much..."
I will definitely talk to my mother properly when I get back.
Tell her to make them for everyone as soon as possible.
finished,
He carefully put away the money his classmates handed him.
It took about a day.
This backpack has already been advertised in the college.
Almost everyone who had money paid one or two taels of silver.
Those who didn't have enough money were a little disappointed, thinking about their next trip home.
I also need to bring my own money.
that's it,
The winds of the schoolbag trend eventually swept towards Qingshan Academy.
Li Mingxuan, too, dared not move from his spot for a single day.
As soon as the classes were over, he carried his schoolbag and went home.
As soon as he entered the house, Li Mingxuan went straight to the study.
Seeing that Li Xiuming was reading a book,
He quickly put his schoolbag on the table in front of him.
Li Xiuming looked at Li Mingxuan with a puzzled expression.
"Xuan'er, why have you come home today?"
Shouldn't we be at the academy? And what are you doing here...?
Li Xiuming hadn't finished speaking
He was stunned by Li Mingxuan's behavior.
Li Mingxuan first poured out the silver inside.
Then he took out a registration form filled with names.
He said excitedly:
"Father, please don't ask so many questions."
I have good news for you.
The schoolbags my aunt made became a hit at the academy.
We just entered the college today,
A large crowd then surrounded us.
They insisted on giving us money.
They asked their aunt to make schoolbags for them.
Here, these are the deposits everyone gave for the backpacks.
Everyone was really looking forward to these backpacks.
Dad, could you please go to Aunt's house?
This is the recorded list.
And a deposit of one tael of silver per person.
