Chapter 17 The Great and Young of the Mules

Each carpenter got a pack of paper, white, soft, and a little fragrant, at a glance it is a high-end goods, although I don't know what it is for, but I don't know what it is for, but I don't know how to feel it, and immediately thank the young owner for that.

Guo Dalu explained some precautions about the glass mirror, led by Guo Dazhuan, and the carpenters carried the mirror to the carpentry room to prepare for the start of work.

What about Guo Dalu? As soon as the carpenters left, they went straight to the kitchen to find food, and as soon as the matter was done, Guo Dalu felt bad all over, he was so hungry that he pumped energy.

Several carpenters were very excited to do such a valuable job for the first time, and Guo Dazhuan was even more ready to perform well, measured the size, selected the finest hardwood, designed the style, and then began to carve carefully...

This cut took five days...

Guo Dalu couldn't wait left or right, and said that the efficiency of these carpenters was too poor, and it was so slow to do such a simple job as making a shelf. But adhering to the principle that suspicious people don't need to be employed, I didn't go to the carpentry room to see...

Five days later, Guo Dazhuan led the carpenters to deliver the finished product, and Guo Dalu suddenly realized, Nima, no wonder it took so long!

Not to mention the style, it's a vertical shelf, but this workmanship... The whole shelf is tightly knit, with the same kind of wood, the wood grain looks like it is naturally connected, the whole mirror seems to grow out of the shelf, the surrounding frame is all kinds of carvings, and the embossed process presents a clear and layered texture of the stamen petals... Even the gusset on the back looks like a whole piece, without any traces of splicing...

Guo Dazhuan also said that he knew that the young owner was in a hurry, and the time was a little rushed, so he didn't have to hurry to paint...

Guo Dalu immediately decided where to go for this shelf, use it at home, take it home to collect, and never sell it!

Then, Guo Dalu patiently said to the carpenters: "The frame we made is really good, there is no flaw at all, it is perfect, the only problem is that the time is a little too much, so next, you don't need to continue to make the shelf like this, the style of the shelf is almost like this, but you don't need to carve it anymore, just bulldoze it, and you don't have to care about the connection of the wood grain, and the gusset behind it doesn't have to spend so much thought, just put a few pieces together, in a word, in a hurry, Strive to make one in half a day, the sooner the better, try to make more for me, have you heard it? ”

"Young owner, the kind of shelf you said is not worthy of such a precious mirror, that's not..."

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own ideas, just do what I say, understand? The sooner the better. ”

"Well, alas!"

In the next time, Guo Dalu saw the efficiency of the carpenters' work, which was really a speed of half a day, and twenty-three shelves were delivered in ten days.

Asking the carpenters to continue to do it, Guo Dalu decided to deliver goods to Fucheng, Guo Shou called more than a dozen villagers, loaded twenty-three mirrors with three ox carts and set off.

This time, Guo Dalu also went with him, because he still had to discuss the sale with the landlord's father, and he also needed to use the money from the sale of mirrors to buy porcelain and jade.

I walked all the way for two days to get to Fucheng, the road was rotten, and the fragile goods were pulled, and I walked more than 50 miles in a day. This distance is not too long, from Guocun to the county seat of thirty miles, from the county seat to Fucheng seventy-five miles. It's only an hour's drive to the main plane, and it's a thirty-minute thing on the highway.

This trip can be called a turtle speed trip, and Guo Dalu is depressed, and for the first time, he truly understands that "if you want to be rich, build the road first." The meaning of this truth.

The Guo family is a small family in the city, and it would be good for a small landowner in the countryside to let you buy a yard, what else do you want! Therefore, the home in the city is only a medium yard, covering an area of seven or eight acres, which is very ordinary.

I've seen my father and mother, please go to peace, sit down, the maid serves tea, Yan happily went to the kitchen to arrange things, the eldest young master came to the door for the first time, this must be grandly received...

Guo Dalu waved away a bunch of subordinates before saying to Guo Da:

"Dad, I came here this time because I have two things to discuss with you."

"Well, I might as well be straight." As soon as Guo Da heard this, the folds on his smiling face were all folded, this son still respects me very much.

"That's right, since you left, I've been thinking, our family's fields and industries are all there, if we wait for the thieves to come, it will be all ruined, and I've been thinking about self-preservation..."

"Hmm." Hearing this serious topic, Guo Da nodded cautiously.

"Dad, I'm going to organize the young and strong villagers in the village for military training, and if something happens in the future, what do you think?"

"Well, my son's idea is really good, this year is in chaos, no family is really not good, I didn't have that heart before, I don't know who the family's property is left to, now there is you, then you have to do this, speaking of which big family does not have a family."

"Dad agrees, then it's no problem, this second thing is the first thing that comes out, to train the army... Oh, it's what my father said, you can't do it without silver, you have to buy food, weapons and equipment, and the cost is not small, so I want to open a shop in this city, I got a batch of mirrors to sell, so that when you make money, you will have silver to support your family, Dad, what do you think? ”

"Yes, yes, my son's idea is good and feasible. It's just that this bronze mirror is small and doesn't make much money. ”

"It's not a bronze mirror."

"Huh? What kind of mirror is that? ”

"High-end glass mirrors."

"Oh? Glass mirrors? What does that look like? ”

"Dad, you wait."

Guo Dalu got up and went out and shouted to Guo Shou: "Take off the mirror on the ox cart and carry it into the house to show the master." ”

"Okay, young master."

Master Guo's expression when he first saw the glass mirror didn't mention it, anyway, it was wonderful enough. That expression, it's not that the old drama bones can't be acted at all.

"Dad, how much do you think a mirror like this can be sold for?"

Guo Da trembled and stretched out a hand, his five fingers spread.

"Fifty taels, well, that's good."

Hearing Guo Dalu say the price of fifty taels, Master Guo didn't mention it in one breath, almost suffocated to death, and shook his head desperately.

"Ahh Can it be sold for five hundred taels? ”

"Huh~~ son, such a treasure mirror, five thousand taels have been bought."

"Uh..."

"This treasure mirror, shining brightly, crystal clear... Tut-tut, anyway, Dad has never seen a better mirror in his life. ”

"Dad, this thing... Can it really be sold for 5,000 taels of silver? ”

"Yes, there may not be one in the palace!"

"Five thousand taels..."Guo Dalu muttered, whether there is anything in the palace that is none of his business, he has to find out how much this five thousand taels should be worth first. Of course, the contrast is rice.

100 Wen buys 1 catty, one tael of silver 2500 Wen, that is, 25 catties, multiplied by 5000, equals 125000 catties, 62500 kg, 62.5 tons, heavy trucks are going to pull three cars, well, a broken mirror for three cars of rice, a lot.

However, this is a period of food shortage in the chaos of war, and the price of grain is about to sky-high, so if you take 5,000 taels of silver to buy something else to try, I will ask you how to calculate this stubble.

"Since it's so valuable, then I'll hand over these mirrors to my father to deal with, maybe I have to sell so much, you can reduce the price appropriately, don't hide it from my father, there are hundreds of the same mirrors at home, so, just sell them."

"How much! Hundreds of sides? ”

"Ah, to be specific, there are still 300 noodles at home."

Stupid, Landlord Guo is really stupid this time, how much money does this have to be! I don't dare to think...

"Dad, then you have to be tired, you have to take care of this shop, and you have to shoulder this owner and the big shopkeeper."

"This ...... All right. Looking at Guo Dalu's expectant face, Guo Da didn't say anything he didn't want to do.

"Dad, how to open this shop, you always look at it, what about me, the main thing is to supply the family, in addition to the mirror, there will be some other things in the future, to be honest, I don't understand the specific things in the shop, let me do it, I don't know where to start, this time I brought twenty-three mirrors over, but the back can continue to be shipped over, as for how to sell the mirror and how to price, it's all up to Dad, I don't care..."

"Okay, then let's do it, Dad will fight for this family for a few more years."

"Dad, you don't have to worry, in my opinion, it's just a little bit more at the beginning, and when it stabilizes, you can hire an executive manager, uh, that's... The big shopkeeper or something comes to do things, you just watch and check the accounts, and it won't tire you. ”

"Hehe... That relationship is good, let's take a look at how many silver taels are needed, and it's no problem to take out 10,000 taels of silver at home. ”

"Dad, you don't have to touch too much money at home, I can take the goods and sell them first, and after selling them, I'm talking about payment, you can calculate how much money this shop costs, and see if you rent a shop or buy a shop directly."

"In this case, it really won't take much, the matter of this shop will be arranged by my father, you work for the family like this, and my father can't let things all fall on your shoulders."

"Hehe, Dad, then I don't care about this shop, oops, I'm tired all the way, I'll go to rest first."

"Go, go, I'll call you when I'm eating."

The next day, Guo Da went out early in the morning to find a tooth shop to ask about the shop, Guo Dalu got up at three o'clock in the morning, and after breakfast and lunch (at 10 o'clock in the morning) he went out to go shopping, just to see the customs of this era.

As soon as he got on the street, Guo Dalu sighed that the ancients on the street were full of interest, and he had to go up to take a look at everything, and the two little maids who followed behind him were embarrassed to follow him, this is too dirty buns, although the young master you are from the countryside, but don't do this.

And the eyes of the whole street are also focused on Guo Dalu's body, for Mao? Yasha shaved an inch, a light yellow Armani casual suit, and a pair of Martins at her feet. Louie, isn't this eye-catching!
