Chapter 10 Business Opportunities
In the next few days, in addition to going to the field to help with some light work, Qian Mifan usually watched his uncle Li Shuren do carpentry work.
However, to the satisfaction of money fans, cousin Li Paner has a special talent for cooking. Qian fans usually tell her the general ingredients, process and taste, and Li Paner can make similar food.
Of course, the first meal is an experiment, and everyone is a guinea pig. But the next second meal, the same meal, will definitely have a qualitative leap. Therefore, Qian fans especially admire Li Paner's food talent.
However, money fans also occupy the light of various food memories in their previous lives, and they have no talent for cooking in their previous lives and in this life. What others make is called food, and what is made by money fans is called dark food.
However, the good thing is that money fans have a good tongue. If you have tasted the food, you can generally remember and distinguish the key to it, and you can be regarded as a gourmet. Just a theoretical foodie, of course.
Fortunately, Qian fans didn't expect to be able to do anything in this, after all, they still don't have that strength now. Both financially and personally.
Being able to eat comfortably is the biggest pursuit of money fans now, after all, looking at a pure natural ingredient, it can't be turned into a delicacy, but is ruined by all kinds of improper cooking, and money fans are still distressed. It feels like pulling a large piece of your own meat out of your own rice bowl.
Qian Mimi secretly decided that if he had the ability, he would definitely open a gourmet restaurant. Open all over the country, and develop branches outside.
Of course, Li Paner, the head chef, can't run.
**********************************************
Through the observation of the past few days, Qian fans also roughly understand the practice of ancient carpentry.
First, I went to the mountains and forests to cut wood.
This, under the cheeky skin of the money fan, finally went around the forest. Mainly on the periphery, the better wood has been used by everyone, if you want to find a better one, you can only go deeper into the forest.
However, the admonition handed down by the ancestors in the village is not to cross the cordon in the forest. Qian Mifan thought that there must be a large beast in the depths of the forest, and too many people have gone and never returned, so the ancestors clearly issued such ancestral teachings.
However, what touched Qian fans was that people here generally cut down some trees, and they would definitely take the initiative to plant some in the second year.
Qian fans even asked his uncle Li Shuren why he took the initiative to plant trees. My uncle replied as a matter of course, 'because everyone will use it in the future.'"
Money fans feel that there is no modern technology in ancient times, and it is also beneficial, at least people's hearts are bright. As for modern times, if you mention the obligation to plant trees, you can imagine the scene.
It's not that modern people are like this, but most of them have been deeply entrenched in utilitarianism.
Qian Mifan looked at his thin arms and legs, but still gave up the adventure. Moreover, the mountains here are all connected, and you can also enter the mountains from your own village, Qianzhuang.
Qian fans found that everyone generally planted poplars on the periphery, and also mainly replanted poplars. Uncle Li Shuren said that it was because poplars were relatively easy to survive and had a small number of years of growth. It only takes a few years to plant and it is almost ready for use.
In such a comparison, Qian Mimi felt more and more that the villagers of Shangwang Village were qualified, or that the village chief here was more good at management. Because the hills near the back of the village are bare, everyone just thinks about cutting down, but few people take the initiative to replant.
Qian fans found that his uncle Li Huairen's craftsmanship was indeed very good, but the style was mainly practical, not gorgeous and beautiful. After all, in every place and space, no matter how underdeveloped, there are always rich people, and there are always rich people who pursue vanity and magnificence.
Therefore, Qian Fan tried to use charcoal to draw some retro and complicated patterns of furniture in his memory on the few pieces of paper in his grandmother's house. When my aunt saw it, she felt that this was a way out.
Let Qian Fan concentrate on painting, and then take advantage of the free time of the night to take Li Paner and Wang to the nearby forest to cut wood, of course, when it comes to a certain period of time, my uncle will put down the carpentry in his hand and go over to help pull wood to the house.
What is even more surprising to money fans is that my aunt's financial management concept is not to give money to her two cousins for nothing, but generally through work, especially if it is to earn money, she will clearly state her salary. Then, let them choose to take the initiative, if they don't do it, they can embroider to earn money.
Democracy, equality, and economic independence, if it weren't for the money fandom, they would all be worshiped to death.
This kind of cognition may not be able to fully penetrate into the hearts of the people until the modern 21st century, and thousands of years ago, some people silently practiced it with their actions.
It seems that written records are quite necessary so that civilization will not be lost.
Everyone is doing their job, and they are all working in full swing, although they are all tired. However, Qian Mifan and Xiao Wang are very happy. Because, everyone sees the business opportunity, if this time is good, then for a long time in the future, life will be better.
Qian Mi Mi and Xiao Wang's both tacitly agreed, because such furniture, that is, the first batch of furniture can be sold very well, and then all kinds of replicas will definitely come out. Moreover, people's wood can be better than the materials used by money fans, and there is no such thing as rights protection in ancient times.
Of course, with the proficiency of the craft, Li Shuren himself can see the roughness of his early workmanship, and in turn will make those flawed furniture again. In this way, after more than ten days of hard work. The yard is already occupied by almost all kinds of furniture.
Qian Mimi and his uncle Li Shuren brought a few small pieces of light furniture and went to the town to find wood furniture to sell.
Before leaving, Qian Mi begged his uncle to try to sell the furniture. Because it was all done by his own family, and there was no cost, his uncle Li Shuren agreed.
Qian Fan was fascinated by the market town, first went to the good furniture store introduced by his uncle, and finally chose a relatively large ocean wood store.
Xiao Er saw that Qian Fan had gone and returned, and decided that Qian Fan had come to buy furniture. Xiao Er can be sure that Qian Fan has taken a fancy to his own style, because the furniture style of his own house in this town is the latest, even if the price is more expensive, but the little girl loves beauty, which is understandable.
"Hehe, trouble the second brother, find us your shopkeeper. We have a business to do with him. Qian Fan said to Xiao Er with a smile.
"We don't see everybody, how much furniture do you have to buy. If I could, I could give you a discount, so you don't have to bother our shopkeeper. Xiao Er saw that the money fan didn't buy it, and his face changed a little.
"Hehe, we know it's hard to see, that's why we begged the little second brother." The money fan took out a string of copper coins and pushed them directly into the small second-hand.
Xiao Er weighed the copper coin in his hand and went to the back unhappily.
After a while, the shopkeeper came over.
"Who's looking for me?" The shopkeeper took a look at the lobby and directly ignored the money fan. After all, usually an adult comes to buy furniture, not a child who comes directly to buy it.
"Hehe, the big shopkeeper, I'm looking for you." Qian Fan smiled and walked up to the shopkeeper.
"This is our big treasurer, the king's treasurer." Xiao Er hurriedly introduced.
"You have something to do with me, you better ask your family to come over." Shopkeeper Wang glanced at the money fan and said.
"Shopkeeper Wang, let me show you a few drawings." Qian Mifan said and handed the drawings in his hand to the shopkeeper Wang.
The shopkeeper Wang took it very calmly, looked at it a few times, and immediately began to look at the money fan. He looked at it a few more times, and then spoke.
"Child, where did you find this? Do you have carpentry in your house? How much more is such a drawing? The shopkeeper tried his best to suppress his excitement.
"I have carpenters in my family. My uncle has made a lot of beautiful furniture. "The money fan avoided the important and said lightly.
"Ang, that's right. So where is your family, and where is the furniture you have made, can you let me see it? Shopkeeper Wang was obviously a little disappointed, but he still didn't give up.
"It's right outside, you and I can come out and take a look." As he spoke, he took the hand of the shopkeeper Wang and walked out.
"Hey, good, good, good." The shopkeeper also hurried out.
"Uncle, you see that the king's shopkeeper has come out. Maybe we'll have to buy all of our furniture. As soon as Qian Mifan saw Li Shuren, he hurriedly paved the way for his future business.
"Really. That's so much thanks to the king's shopkeeper. Li Shuren was also excited when he heard it.
The corners of the king's mouth twitched, but he still walked quickly to the ox cart and looked through the furniture on it with his own hands.
After looking at a few, Shopkeeper Wang beckoned his men to come out and drive the ox cart to the backyard, while he led Li Shuren and Qian Mimi to the store.
Shopkeeper Wang walked directly to the back hall with the two of them, and did not forget to tell the men to serve tea and snacks.
After a few people sat down, the shopkeeper Wang said straight to the point: "What do you call my brother?" ”
"My name is Li Shuren, and I am from Shangwang Village." Uncle Li Shuren said crampedly.
"Ang, it's Brother Li. I took a look at your craftsmanship, and it was still good, but I didn't pay much attention to the materials. I thought that you have such a good talent, don't be wronged, you can do it in our store in the future. Wages and everything are negotiable, as long as you can come up with a better style than the furniture you made. Shopkeeper Wang couldn't wait to recruit Li Shuren.
"That, that, none of that I came up with." Li Shuren shook his head while waving his hand.
"Ahh
"If it's not you, then who else in your family does carpentry?" The shopkeeper said suspiciously.
"That, that 、、、、、、" Li Shuren was a little embarrassed, after all, no one can quickly accept that a child can come up with such a furniture style.
"Oh, you don't want your mother-in-law, is there anything unspeakable, is it inconvenient to say?" Shopkeeper Wang was a little anxious.
"It's my nephew who thinks about it, and I'm responsible for making it." Li Shuren simply pointed directly at Qian Mi and said.
"What?" Shopkeeper Wang was a little slow to react and looked at the money fan.
"Brother Li isn't teasing me."
"Hehe, this is indeed what I came up with. Since I've always loved flowery things, this one isn't surprising at all. "Money fans don't care.
"And what do you want?" Shopkeeper Wang felt that the feeling of being a fan of money was that he was very mature in his thinking, but he never thought of looking at it from an adult perspective.
"I think we designed it ourselves, made it ourselves, and sold it to your store." Qian Fan looked at the shopkeeper Wang and said. Seeing that the shopkeeper Wang obviously disagreed.
"The other is that I'll give you the blueprints, and then I'm going to take a cut of the furniture sales that you've made." When Qian Mifan said the second type, his face was serious.
"This, this lord, to be honest, I can't do it, you wait for my host to come soon. When the time comes, say it. "Shopkeeper Wang felt that he was a little confused about money, so he asked his guy to find his boss halfway.
