Chapter 90: Food Practices

The first update

"I ......" Zeng Qing originally wanted to say that he was famous, how could he be so insulting to Sven, but looking at his father's knife-like eyes, he didn't dare, and said sneeringly, "What is there to refuse." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Okay, I'll help you find it." Zeng Quan inquired in the provincial capital, and there was a lot of copying work. Yuelu Academy is not considered to give high money, they are copying books, but many commercial houses need to copy people, they have a large number of documents every day, some unimportant things, are looking for people to copy, according to the piece to give money. There are also people who write and read letters on the street, a few dollars a piece, a few letters a day, and more than ten dollars. So it's not difficult for a scholar like my father to find a job. The hard thing is whether he wants to find it or not.

Now the grandfather obviously doesn't want to admit his failure, but he can't watch his son play with himself like this, and finally make up his mind. Zeng Quan felt that this was a good opportunity, he really didn't expect his father to do anything, but he must learn to support himself first.

No, he didn't even have the expectation of letting him feed himself, he just wanted him to get out and not be locked in a shell anymore. Forever hiding in the shell of your grandfather.

"Can you really copy a book for three hundred dollars?" Ouyang felt that copying books was quite gentle, and it was also like what Xianggong could do, so he was also excited.

"It was a rare book for Yuelu Academy, and the price was different. Of course, if you go to the business to help people copy and settle the money by the piece, your father should write quickly, and he should earn more than that. Zeng Quan looked at his father levelly.

"I'd rather copy books than be a reader." Zeng Qing really quit.

"Okay, I'll find you a job copying books." Zeng Quan nodded, as long as he did it.

Old man Zeng watched silently, he is letting his son go out to do things now, he really does not admit his failure, but knows that the three grandsons are afraid that none of them can afford their father, if he dies, he doesn't dare to think about what Zeng Qing will be disliked by his sons.

Now he asked him to do some work, at least let the children stop disliking him, he sincerely hoped that Zeng Qing could really understand his hard work this time.

However, the old man is destined to be disappointed, and the old Zeng family has never had a tradition of explaining to their children in their lives. Zeng Qing beat his son, and he never said that they were wrong? So in the end, it was in vain.

The old man never explained anything to his son, Zeng Qingshang felt his father's hard work, he was still complaining to himself when he went back to the house, how did he fall into the situation of copying books for others, which made his classmates see how embarrassing it should be. He didn't expect that he would be humiliated by his son sentence by sentence.

The next day, Zeng Quan changed his Confucian shirt early in the morning and went to the county to find Li Bin. Li Bin knew that he had been admitted, and he also knew that he had decided not to read it, but he wanted to hear his thoughts. Now Chen Fuxing doesn't care much about the shop, Zeng Quan is looking for a job, but he is actually looking for Li Bin.

"Did your grandfather say yes?" Li Bin was a little stunned by the Zeng family's reaction, but the old man of the Zeng family was also able to get what he wanted.

"Yes, I have told him, and he agrees. I discussed with my family, and in the future, we will bear the tuition fees of the third child, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law will only have to bear the life of the third child in the future. Zeng Quan was busy with a brief account of what he had agreed with his grandfather yesterday. Not to mention, I have to be responsible for ten taels, this is a family ugly, so I don't need to show it to Li Bin. As long as you tell him that he is back, the Zeng family is a family with face, they should be responsible, and they will definitely be responsible.

"It's not about money, it's mainly about ......" Li Bin waved his hand, he didn't care about the tuition and living expenses of the two of them, what annoyed him the most was the attitude of the Zeng family, but now he couldn't talk about it with Zeng Quan, he decided to be serious, Zeng Quan came to find a job, for his sister to raise one less person, he also had to give him this opportunity and let him sit down, "Forget it, I don't bother to say anything." You've been helping out in the inkshop before, and it just so happens that they are in charge of our other arrangements, would you like to go? ā€

They have been following up on the ink making this one, they are very familiar with the process, and now let him take care of things, the original manager, he just transferred out to do something else, he is now getting bigger and bigger, and there is really not enough manpower.

"I want to change places and learn something new." Zeng Quan thought about it and looked at Li Bin calmly, if he returned to the ink workshop, he felt that there was really no challenge. Now that he's back, he wants to learn something new.

"It's so young and vigorous." Chen Fuxing's voice came from outside, although he didn't take care of things much, he still had to come over every day to shake it, and he just heard Zeng Quan speak, so he came in with a smile.

"Daddy!" Li Bin hurriedly got up, gave up the main seat to Chen Fuxing, and sat down by himself.

Zeng Quan hurriedly gave Chen Fuxing a salute.

"You are my daughter's brother-in-law, that is, my nephew, I will take a big one and say a few words to you. I'm afraid that you still think you're good, and you have won the show, and you have come to my small business to find an errand. But you don't understand, the imperial court recruits talents, and you have to be admitted all the way, even if you are admitted to the Jinshi, there is no saying that you will immediately give a magistrate to let you do it, they are all advanced Hanlin Academy, and then go to various ministries, and get familiar with government affairs, and feel that you are still a capable person, so you will slowly give errands, a little bit of experience, and finally, you will trust the people on one side. Our merchant is too, why Li Bin asked you to go to the ink shop to be a manager, not because you are his relative, let alone because you have the fame of showing talent, but because you have passed the previous test, you are familiar with every step of the ink shop, you are also familiar with the people in the ink shop, you can manage it if you go back now. But in another place, you have to start from the lowest level, and the fame of Xiucai is useless. ā€

"Yes, that's exactly what the little nephew thinks, start from low and see what the little nephew is more suitable for." Zeng Quan bowed and said seriously.

"The fact that you've read books is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Because you are old, you are too big to do from an apprentice, and it is not easy to gain the trust of the shopkeeper from scratch! The old man shook his head and got up to leave.

"My father-in-law is straightforward, you don't think you can be surprised. In fact, I still hope that you will go to the ink shop, you are most familiar with the ink shop. However, I told you to be in charge, not ink. You are familiar with ink, but you are not necessarily familiar with managing people. I came from a pawnshop back then, and I didn't lack the kung fu in my eyes, and I really handed over the pawnshop to me, only to know that things are not simple. It's not that if you're in charge, people have to listen to you. Go to the ink shop, you can learn to manage people and things as quickly as possible, and I will let you do something else in the future, which is much easier. Li Bin understood what Chen Fuxing meant, and he was afraid that Zeng didn't understand it at all, so he would explain it again.

"Thank you!" Zeng Quan realized that the way to do business was far more than he thought, and bowed deeply to Li Bin.

"Okay, then it's decided, I'll have someone lead you there." Li Bin nodded, he likes smart people, and the smartest thing about smart people is to listen to persuasion. (To be continued.) )
