Chapter 34: Getting Better
When he returned home and arranged for everyone to unload the car, Gao Feng called Gao Youcai aside and said, "Dad, I bought two people today." ”
Subsequently, Gao Feng told Gao Youcai about the situation of the two children, Gao Youcai nodded after hearing it: "You are doing very well, I can have this thought, I will rest assured, and we have a lot of things, we should indeed add two helpers, however, they are not very easy to arrange in life, it doesn't cost anything to eat, it's a big deal to add two pairs of chopsticks, how to arrange where to live?" ”
Gao Youcai's worries are not exaggerated, there is only one hall at home, it is okay for three people to live, and it is not enough to add two people, although it is also possible to borrow to live in the house of Gao Hai and others, but it is not very convenient after all.
I originally wanted to wait for the money to buy land and build a house, but now it seems that it will be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and who knows if anyone will join in the middle.
Gao Feng thought for a while and said: "While there are still two days left, it is better to build a wooden house by the east wall, and then I will live with Hu Bao, and Hu Niu will live in the hall." ”
This is also a stopgap measure, there is no way, Gao Feng wants to solve this problem with a minimum amount of work.
Gao Youcai also thought that Gao Feng's suggestion was good, and was about to agree, but he didn't want Gao Youxian to come over, and after hearing Gao Feng's words, he interjected: "Everyone is busy to death now, how can you have the spare energy to build a house, so let's do it, the house where Gao Xia used to live is still there, and no one lives in it, so Hu Niu can live for a while, as for Hu Bao, you can also support a bed, and you or Gao He can live in a room, so that everyone will have peace of mind." ”
Gao Feng was right to think about it, and when the money was ready, it was not too late to think about the house.
The matter was finalized, the materials were ready, and everyone felt energetic to do their work.
Gao Feng didn't expect that the Gao family was really good, they were willing to work, honest, let them do whatever they wanted, the standard rural honest temperament, the contradiction he was worried about before did not happen.
Maybe this is just the beginning, we still need a process of adaptation, and it may not be so smooth in time, and the relevant management and operation regulations should be brewed as soon as possible and published as soon as possible. Gao Feng thought so.
In the afternoon of the same day, Gu San came to his home on time with eighty hanging money and traded mahjong with Gao Feng. Gao Feng also taught him how to play mahjong, and the rules of classic gameplay such as thirteen units, two five and eight generals, pushing down the paste, and bloody battles were also taught to him one by one.
On the second day, Hu Bao and Hu Niu came to the door, both of them changed into better clothes, and their faces were cleaned.
Gao Feng inquired about the resettlement of their family, and the two replied that they had all been settled, their father had been buried, and the house had long been dilapidated, even the wind and rain could not shelter it, so they abandoned it, and now this is their home.
Gao Feng took the two of them to meet with the Gao family one by one, and claimed that they would be a family in the future. After listening to the story of the two children, not only the two old ladies, but also Li Wenjuan wiped her tears, and once the sympathy attacked, it was out of control, even when she ate, she also picked the meat in her bowl into the bowl of the two children.
In the end, the two sensible children were very moved and shed tears of excitement, how could they have enjoyed such treatment?
Gao Feng also considered the arrangement of the two children, asked Hu Niu to help burn the fire and fry the oil during the day, Hu Bao helped him make candles, and lit candles at night to teach them literacy and arithmetic.
Song Shi did not talk about child labor, and even the definition of adults was not clear, that is, they could get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and they would be considered adults.
Gao Feng didn't think about buying a princess and a young master to raise at home, so he would be too wronged, but in terms of work arrangement, he still tried to minimize the pressure on the two of them, and let them do some light work.
After a few days of observation, Gao Feng unexpectedly discovered that the two actually had their own strengths. Hu Niu has a strong ability to learn and accept, and the knowledge taught to her can be mastered quickly, even arithmetic can be accurate.
Although Hu Bao has poor learning and receptivity, he has a lot of strength, and according to his age, he is indeed a bit beyond ordinary people.
For the respective characteristics of the two, Gao Feng has a judgment. He decided to cultivate Hu Niu culturally and administratively, and train her to be the kind that can manage the family in the future. As for Hu Bao, he wanted to inquire about where there was a martial arts teacher, and arranged for him to study for a while, maybe it would be a big help for him in the future.
Putting aside the calculation of the peak for the time being, the Gao family workshop is running well, and it only took half a month to complete the production of four or five sets of sofas and coffee tables, and the delivery with the buyer was completed, and the peak got the first pot of gold in the scale, plus the previous income, the cash reached more than 500 hangs.
With the first batch of delivery, four or five more companies came to order sofas, which can be regarded as a prosperous business. However, Gao Feng knows that the current ration is almost saturated within a radius of dozens of miles, and if you want to develop the sofa, you must expand outward.
The production of candles has also been formalized, with the peak producing caustic soda, using the saponification reaction method to produce stearic acid, and then making candles, which took only ten days to make tens of thousands, which were handed over to Li Qikun to sell except for some of them.
The launch of candles is indeed very popular, according to Li Qikun, after the pilot one, the first batch of candles were sold on the same day, and the scene of rushing to buy is too hot, even Li Qikun, a person who has seen the world, is not only smacked.
The ones that were not purchased were still in place and refused to leave, they hoped that the store would take more out to sell, and finally Li Qikun had to come forward in person to tell everyone that this batch had been sold out, and that there would be some to sell in a few days, and the price would remain the same, so that everyone was persuaded to leave.
Li Qikun found Gao Feng and said that the number of candles was too small, and there was nothing Gao Feng could do about it, his workshop was not yet large-scale, and it was impossible to increase production, so he had to give Li Qikun an idea and let him sell it in limited quantities, that is, no more than fifty candles per person, so that he might be able to relieve the pressure.
Li Qikun tried to sell according to the method of the peak, and the effect was really good, although some people were not very satisfied, but most people could buy it, and I heard that there would be sales later, so I went back satisfied.
The front sales are hot, the peak side is stepping up production, and the supply of animal oil is finally tight, not that there is no market in the market, but that Zhang butchers are also busy with their own things, and they have no time to help too much. For this reason, Gao Feng could only ask Gao Youxian to purchase, and even asked him to go to the county seat to sign a purchase contract with those large slaughterers, but its transportation took time, which caused a lot of trouble to the production of candles.
For this situation, Gao Feng has no way, without increasing manpower, only by relocating the workshop to the vicinity of the county can it be solved, but whether it is to increase manpower, or relocation, Gao Feng has not considered it for the time being, so he can only deal with it first.
Everything is in order, the business of the Gao family workshop has gradually improved, and by the end of the month, the total income of the two major businesses has reached 1,500 hangs, which can be regarded as a miracle of creating a monthly income.
Business is booming, Gao Feng did not treat everyone badly, and by the end of the month, he gave ten hangings of money each, even two and a half children also sent five hangings of money each.
Hu Bao and Hu Niu insisted that they didn't want to, and Gao Feng told them that this was their pocket money, and they needed to buy some clothes or something, and they would use them, so they took it with tears, but they didn't think about spending it, and they all saved it together.
After sending so much money, the others are okay, everyone knows that the business makes a lot of money, and it should be harvested, but Gao Youxian is not, he holds the money with trembling hands, and tears are constantly rolling.
He couldn't imagine that he could earn so much money at such an age, which was more than he could earn by working in the fields for a few years all year round, if he continued to work like this for a year, he didn't dare to imagine how much he could earn, maybe he would really count the money until his hands cramped as Gao Feng said.
PS: Today is Father's Day, I wish all fathers in the world a happy holiday! At two o'clock in the afternoon, I will recommend the arrangement, and under the double good thing, add a more chapter!
