Chapter Seventy-Two: Buying a Kiln
Lin Yujuan could only knit some gloves and socks by herself and sell them in her own store, and she earned more than a tael of silver in one winter, which was Lin Yujuan's own private money. Lin Yusuo, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, saw it and called for a share, saying that she should be paid for selling gloves for her. Lin Yujuan felt justified when she heard it, so she divided him with 200 yuan.
Winter goes to spring, and after the first month, I feel that it will be February 18, when Lin Xiujuan gets married, in a few days. The Qi family married their daughter for the first time, and they were reluctant to give Lin Xiujuan all kinds of advice. Lin Yujuan also quietly told her sister that if life is not going well, she must tell her family, and the family's recipes must not be revealed. When the three brothers split up in the future, Lin Xiujuan can do whatever she wants, and the family will definitely help with ideas. Lin Xiujuan naturally understood when she heard this, and the sisters also hugged their heads and cried for a while. But no matter how reluctant the girl's family is, she still wants to get married, and after Lin Xiujuan is picked up by the boat that welcomes her relatives, Lin Yujuan is the most uncomfortable. Since she came here, she has eaten and lived with her sister Lin Xiujuan every day, working and chatting together. Now that she suddenly has no companion, she was in a trance for many days before she slowly adapted. I did many things by myself, and it wasn't until more than a year later that Lin Yukou got married and married her sister-in-law into the door. After Lin Yukou got married, he didn't continue to go to the old man Gu to learn carpentry, and he learned almost all the crafts in five or six years there. Now he is taking some carpenter work in the town, although the craftsmanship is not bad, but after all, he has just debuted, and he is too young, and there are not too many people who come to him to work.
Sister-in-law Luo Hongmei is also in the town, her family background is okay, and her family runs an oil mill. Luo Hongmei's mother fell ill when she was nine years old, leaving behind a younger brother Luo Yunpeng, who was just three years old. She took charge of the family's life, took care of her father, raised her younger brother, and did quite well. Until three years ago, her father married a new wife, Baishi, the relationship between the stepmother and stepson, not to mention. Luo Hongmei only took care of her younger brother, and now that her younger brother is ten years old, she is also relieved to marry into the Lin family. Both families live in the same town, and she can still go home from time to time. The Lin family is very tolerant of this matter, and Lin Yujuan has been there a few times. This Bai Shi is also a good child, he gave birth to a son a year ago, and now he has just turned one year old, and he is pregnant with another one in his belly. She was very dissatisfied with Luo Hongmei getting married and running home every now and then, but she didn't show it at all in her heart.
This morning, the three women of the Lin family were doing housework at home, and the uncle and the third uncle came to find Lin Guilu together. The three of them were discussing things in the hall, and Lin Yujuan heard a few words when she went in to deliver tea. After delivering the tea, I went out of the hall and eavesdropped on the door of the house. The three brothers spoke loudly, which made Lin Yujuan listen to it all. I heard the third uncle Lin Guixi say:
"Second brother, this is a rare opportunity, let's pool the money together to buy the kiln. After this village, there is no such shop, it just happens to be the one in our village that wants to sell, if we are in other villages, we dare not think of it. ”
"Is your information reliable? Can a good hen that lays golden eggs be sold? Lin Guilu looked at his eldest brother.
Lin Guifu also opened his mouth when he saw that his second brother asked: "The news is reliable, this Liu family has other big business and has also moved to Taizhou." That's why I want to sell this kiln. ”
"How much did they bid?"
"Eighty taels."
"What? So much? Isn't it just a kiln made of bricks, so much silver? Lin Guilu was taken aback, in his impression, no matter how many bricks needed to build a brick kiln, it would not be worth eighty taels. Anyone with a bit of power can build several kilns without much effort. In the entire Qintong Town, there are dozens of kilns.
"I heard that in the future, it is not allowed to build kilns at will, and it is useless to build too many kilns without bricks. This kiln is good, the bricks fired are rarely defective, and it is close to the place where we make bricks. These dozen brick makers have been with us for more than ten years, and they have all supplied this kiln together, and if we take over, there will be a ready-made supply. As for selling them out, they don't have to worry about selling them, so many people in the village sell bricks outside, as long as the bricks are burned, they don't have to worry about not being able to sell them. Lin Guifu said again.
"So buying this kiln is a sure way to make a profit?" Lin Guilu has picked kiln bricks for more than ten years before, and he is very familiar with this industry. As long as the purchase and shipment are smooth, it will cost you more than ten taels or eight taels to burn a kiln. If nothing else, it can be burned about ten times a year. This year, there are also 180 taels of income, even if the three brothers are divided, each family has an income of dozens of taels.
"Second brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it would be a pity if you missed it. What else do you want? Lin Guixi is still very anxious, now the three brothers count the hardest life he has lived, and it is rare to have an opportunity to make money in front of him, and he can't let go of anything.
"Okay, I don't have any opinions, tell me what you guys think." Lin Guilu knew that the two brothers must have come to him for money.
"My family can make up thirty taels, and the third brother's family can also make up twenty taels, which is thirty taels less." Lin Guifu said.
"It's no problem for me to give thirty taels, but how will I divide it in the future?" Lin Guilu asked this very practical question.
The three brothers looked at each other a few times, but none of them spoke first. Lin Guifu and Lin Guilu both have as much of a big head, and they are more inclined to buy shares according to money, but Lin Guixi can only take out twenty taels, but he thinks that he can share the shares equally with the two brothers. He hesitated for a while, remembering that the three boys in the family were all waiting for money to marry his mother-in-law, and said cheekily: "Big brother, second brother, how about I say three thirds?" ”
Lin Guilu and Lin Guifu glanced at each other, and seeing that the eldest brother didn't nod in agreement, he stretched his head over and whispered a few words to him. Lin Guilu said: "Otherwise, my eldest brother and I will take three into five, how about you take three percent?" ”
Lin Guixi calculated in his heart for a long time, but he still took advantage of himself. So I nodded in agreement. Lin Guilu immediately took out thirty taels of silver, and the three brothers went to the kiln owner to discuss the purchase of the kiln. When Lin Guilu came back in the evening, he had already brought back the contract, and each of the three brothers had a copy, which indicated how much money each person gave and how much he shared, and Mr. Lin became a witness. Now the Lin family still has 20 acres of land outside the town, except for two acres of land that grows seasonal vegetables, the others have grown grain, and now they have bought a kiln, although they only have three or five shares, but they have an extra income of dozens of taels of silver a year. The family was very happy to think of this.
