Chapter 8 Business Comes Again
Busy and busy at noon, grandpa and grandma also got up, Yang Yun was about to discuss with grandpa about repairing the house, and a voice called grandpa suddenly sounded outside the yard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Is Uncle Yang at home?" Grandpa heard that he was telling him to hurriedly go out to have a look, Yang Yun followed, and saw that it was the shopkeeper in Chen's shopkeeper who came outside.
"It turned out to be Brother Chen, come into the house and sit down."
"Uncle Yang, you don't have to be polite, I won't go in and sit in a hurry today, I came here today to order 2,000 bamboo mats for you. This one is more urgent, you can see when it can be delivered at the earliest. ”
"Brother Chen, this will not be delivered until five days at the earliest, or half of the goods will be given after three days, and the rest will be delivered in two days, do you think?"
"That's it, it's decided, three days later, you will make the goods, you can't let us run in vain."
"It's natural, rest assured, it will be done on time."
"Okay, Chen Qi will leave first, and he will rush to other places to pull goods."
"Brother Chen, walk slowly." The shopkeeper drove away in a carriage, but in fact, the shopkeeper's nephew was named Chen Qi. Grandpa was not so excited when he heard the order this time, and this time he was much calmer with the experience of the last time, but he was still very happy in his heart, with a smile on his face.
"Sister, is our family going to make bamboo mats again?"
"Yes, this time I will also make 2,000 bamboo mats."
"That's great, can you buy meat when you earn money?" Yang Xuan asked Yang Yun cautiously.
"Of course you can, if you make money, you can buy a lot of meat for Xiao Xuan to eat." Yang Yun touched Yang Xuan's head with pity.
"Xiao Xuan doesn't really want to eat meat, my sister can buy some occasionally." Yang Xuan was afraid that he didn't have much money to sell bamboo mats, and his family didn't have so much money to buy a lot of meat. In his little heart, he thinks it's good to eat a little meat once in a while, and he is really a sensible and considerate child.
The family is starting to get busy again, and making money can improve the family's plight No matter how tiring it is, it's worth it. In the afternoon of the second day, I received the order news brought by Mrs. Liu, and this time I also ordered 2,000 bamboo mats, and asked for delivery after five days, alas! The next 4,000 bamboo mat goods are all ordered together, five days later can not be handed over on time, I used to worry about no business, now I am worried about not being able to deliver on time when I order more, and I always can't do everything as I wish. Grandpa is also worried.
"Grandpa, don't worry too much, let's find someone to help us do it together, and we will definitely deliver the goods on time." It is very easy to weave bamboo mats, it takes a lot of effort to cut bamboo and grind bamboo pieces, let's find some half-old children to cut bamboo pieces and grind bamboo pieces, and then older children will teach him to weave bamboo mats. ”
"If you find someone to help, you can't hide the skill of weaving bamboo mats."
"Grandpa, the craft of weaving bamboo mats looks too simple, others will weave their own if they look closely, you see Xiao Yun has only learned a few times, let's sell bamboo mats this time, people outside can learn it quickly, so even if we want to hide it, we can't hide it for long." Let's spend some money to invite a few children in the village to help, the children's hands are flexible and start naturally fast, there is money for everyone to earn, and it can also help our family to build a good relationship with the people in the village. ”
Grandpa and grandma are good people, Yang Yun has been here for so long and can't understand why the people of the Yang family are reluctant to interact with the people in the village, and the Yang family has been living in a wall for the past five years, and they are not willing to contact the villagers for a single step. Otherwise, after living here for five years, the Yang family is so difficult, except for the Li family and the Xu family, none of the people in the village have reached out to help. Yang Yun felt that her grandfather deliberately did not interact with the villagers, so it was difficult that there was a hidden secret.
"Alas! Then invite a few children, the loss of business is small, if people have no faith, it is difficult to stand on the world, just ask someone to help, to hand over the bamboo mat to the agreed time. ”
"Okay, grandpa, don't worry, even if we hire someone for this business, our family can still make money, but we make less money, as long as the craftsmanship is there, we won't starve to death." Xiaobao, come here, Sister Yun has something to tell you. ”
"Sister Yun, what's the matter?"
"Xiaobao, you go to the village to find a few familiar children, just say that Sister Yun's family is looking for someone to do handicrafts, don't be too young, find children over seven years old, older thirteen or four-year-old children are also OK, but people should be diligent, don't be too slippery, you just tell them to come to Sister Yun's house to work, fifteen yuan a day, and you can also learn crafts, but you have to be obedient to arrange what work to do, a total of five days, you know how to do it at home, talk to them, If you want, you will come to the house to make bamboo mats at two o'clock tomorrow. There are six people in total, but Xiaobao remembers what Sister Yun said. "Two quarters of the hour is equivalent to about half past seven in the morning, and people in ancient times got up early, so it was neither early nor too late to work at this time, and my grandmother got up at six o'clock every morning.
"Sister Yun, Xiaobao remembers, Xiaobao will help you find someone, but Xiaobao doesn't need money to help Sister Yun, hehe." After Xiaobao finished speaking, he ran away and went to the village to find someone to work. After selling the bamboo mat yesterday, Xiaobao was reluctant to accept it when he gave Xiaobao eighty yuan, and then sent it to Aunt Li last night, and Aunt Li was unwilling to accept it. Said that we finally made some money, Xiaobao ate at Yang's house every day during this time, and Aunt Li would not accept the money, and said that Aunt Li was about to get angry later, saying that if she gave money again, she would not have anything to do with the Yang family, and finally reluctantly took the money back, thinking that she would help her family make a set of clothes after the autumn, and the family's clothes were too shabby, full of patches, and then help Xiaobao also make a set of clothes.
Yesterday, he also gave Yang Xuan ten cents, and he was so happy that he counted it many times, and finally hid it under the pillow. The sister and brother were in the same room, and when they got up in the morning, they saw Yang Xuan take out the copper plate and count it several times before putting it back. Yang Xuan snickered while counting the money, like a little mouse that had stolen oil, with a satisfied face, Yang Yun was almost laughed to death by him.
Six children came early the next morning, the eldest child was thirteen years old, Xiaobao said that it was a good friend of his brother Li Dabao, called Zhou Limin, he and Li Dabao could play well on weekdays, and they were not bad to Xiaobao, other children in the village bullied Xiaobao They are outsiders, Zhou Limin helped Xiaobao drive away the people who bullied him several times, so Dabao and Xiaobao have a good impression of Zhou Limin.
Zhou Limin also seems to be a relatively honest person, his family is also a little poor, two acres of thin fields, the autumn harvest has finished harvesting grain early, Xiaobao knows that his family has already harvested grain, and yesterday he specially went to his house to ask him to help make bamboo mats, Xiaobao came back and said a lot of good things about Zhou Limin in front of Yang Yun, and even Yang Xuan helped him speak, saying that Yang Xuan used to bully the children in the village, and Zhou Limin also helped him drive people away. These two children are very righteous towards their friends. So Zhou Limin came over today to help make bamboo mats.
Other children are also more honest, and the children in the countryside are relatively simple. In addition, the children who came from poor families were all from poor families, and when they heard that they had money to earn, they all worked hard, and they were afraid that they would not be able to do this job. With the help of six children, the speed of making bamboo mats is much faster, and when the children are proficient, the progress will be faster, Zhou Limin and another older child named Zhou Yuan called these two people to follow along to weave bamboo mats, and other smaller children, including Xiaoxuan and Xiaobao, went to cut bamboo and grind bamboo chips. Grandma started to cook three meals by the way.
The autumn harvest will end in a few days, and this bamboo mat business will not last long, maybe this batch of goods is the last business of the Yang family. After three busy days, Chen Qi waited until the afternoon to pull the goods, and when he entered the yard, he saw that there were more than 2,000 bamboo mats in the yard, so he directly asked his grandfather to count 2,000 and pull them away, saving him two days later to pull more goods, but grandpa didn't say anything, and directly loaded the bamboo mats and carried them into the carriage. Chen Qi settled the payment and drove away in a carriage.
Yang Yun felt that Chen Qi came twice and seemed polite every time, but in fact, his attitude was a bit arrogant, and he invited him to sit in the house a few times, but he didn't go in, the house was indeed broken, and it was common sense that people were unwilling to go in and sit. Chen Qi didn't come in the yard last time he came to order. Alas! After all, he is the nephew of the shopkeeper Chen, who is a junior in the store, and now he is an errand runner, so he really feels a little wronged.
When Chen Qi paid the silver, Yang Yun blocked it with his body, and the children who helped in the courtyard should not have seen it, plus Chen Qi was from the town, and several children also felt that people were more expensive, so they didn't dare to look up at people. Six taels of silver plus the six taels earned yesterday, there are a total of twelve taels of silver, and the two thatched huts can be repaired. Plus a wide yard to raise a few chickens and grow some vegetables. When this business is done, I will discuss with my grandfather to repair the house.
(Digression: The Yang family's business is actually used to improve the transition period of life, this article is a farming article, the final theme is to return to the warm embrace of Mother Earth, the land will not deceive people, plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans.)
