Chapter 52: Profit Driven by the Past and the Present (Part 2)
Chapter 52 Driven by Interests, Ancient and Modern
When the beach is cloudy in summer, the sea breeze blows with the moisture of the sea, and the closer you get to the beach, the more uncomfortable the skin on your body will be, even if you don't do any exercise, you will feel stuffy, and the sweat that comes out of the body, the external feeling is hot,.
At this time, the best way to cool off is to take a shower with warm water, don't use cold water, one person is easy to get sick, the other is after this strength, will feel hotter, if the conditions at home allow, then dig a swimming pool, convenient and fast, plunge in, and then come out, cool.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are repeating this action, there is an artesian well, after a flood, I don't know what kind of changes have happened underground, the water in the artesian well can spew out more than a zhang high.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not delve into this phenomenon, but took advantage of this fountain, built a big pool, even saved the swimming pool, dug a river, and connected with the river three miles away, no one objected, compared with the original stone thorn history, it can be said that it is a world of difference.
In the whole house, in addition to the office work in the front, the back let two people find craftsmen to design a garden, a bamboo building of Erzeng stands there, there are ponds around the place, there are small lakes, as well as various pavilions, corridors and canals, and some fish are raised, and flowers are planted.
People who don't come long will get lost when they enter this garden, but unfortunately there are not so many farmers who come to play, even if the door behind the house is opened, and a notice is posted for the people's children to come and play, no one comes.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan worked hard to design an original yard into a children's paradise with cabins, slides, swings, seesaws, and water merry-go-rounds, but because no one came, it became an ornament, and only Li Xun, a big child, ran over to play from beginning to end.
Then the three of them sat in the pool less than two feet deep, staring at the fake fish carved out of wood in a daze.
At noon today, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finally couldn't stand this stuffy day, it looked like rain, there was no wind, and all morning, not a drop of rain fell, too close to the sea, the two of them were damp and sticky, so people guarded the door outside the fountain, and jumped in to soak.
The groundwater is different, it is cold to the bone, and it will come out to warm up after soaking for a while, which is a bit addictive.
"It's been two days, Qi Dong has been locked up for two days, and after a while, it's going to be three days, he's been drinking water, do you need to send him something to eat? He should be uncomfortable today, too. β
Wang Juan finally didn't feel bored anymore, and shook his wet hair to remind Zhang Xiaobao.
"Don't worry, I'll see tomorrow, if you still can't figure out what to do, just give him something to eat, I think it's almost enough to give a steamed bun a day, what is the reaction of Liu Shaoqing and the four of them? I'll find someone to ask in a moment. β
Zhang Xiaobao estimated it, and felt that as long as Qi Dong had enough water, he would not commit suicide, and he would not be able to die for a while, but he was more concerned about Liu Shaoqing and the four of them, and he had not received information today, so he didn't know how the plan was going.
When the hair of the two people was almost dry, the person who went to inquire about the information finally came.
"Little boy, little lady, nothing, the four of them have been in their own homes for the past two days, although they are next to each other, but there is no contact, and the people in their family seem to have become honest, even if they meet every day, they just don't talk, and they don't fight."
The person who heard the news came back and reported.
Hearing the news, Zhang Xiaobao was satisfied and said: "It's good to be stable, otherwise if you fight again, the hatred that has accumulated with great difficulty will be released, and the small contradictions will be easy to solve. β
Liu Shaoqing is still in a worried situation, and his subordinates have tried their best to catch shrimp, but the number is far from enough, there are only a hundred jars, if you can get all the shrimp caught by the other three families, maybe it will be about the same, but now Zhang Zhong has let people go around to promote ten yuan to collect a jar of shrimp paste.
There are more than a dozen people in the house has a jar, has been exchanged for money, the four families are fishing shrimp waiting to be sold after the good, originally planned to see if any people also catch shrimp, high prices to collect some, as a result of all the people are busy, some are digging rivers, some are building houses, and some fishermen have joined the Zhang family's fishing business.
There are less than twenty days left, and even if it is artificially heated, it will take such a long time, and if there are no shrimp, just wait for the time to lose money.
"It's for profit, why complain for profit? He has wealth and wealth, and he separates from each other if he has no profit. Ay~! What a means, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong, what a trick to discord, I obviously saw it, but I couldn't hide from it. Liu Shaoqing sat there, and he didn't know if the gloomy weather made his mood worse, or if he suddenly thought about it, and muttered a few words to himself.
Not only did he understand, but Cao Herui also knew that this was Zhang Zhong's strategy, but even if he knew the divisive plan, in order to be able to pay off the debt as soon as possible, he had to jump into the trap, a jar of shrimp sauce ten times for money, how could he not make money?
Cao Herui found a reason for himself when he betrayed, and felt a little better.
"Master, master, good news, master, the price of shrimp sauce has risen again, the people of the Zhang family came out and said, a jar of shrimp sauce is fifteen yuan, and the pickle shop collects enough 1,000 jars to the outside world, master, hurry up and do it."
Cao Herui's subordinates hurriedly ran in, and happily talked about what they had just seen to the old man who was sitting in the center of the courtyard who had just become a little better.
"Fifteen? Let the thirty people who only know how to drink do a good job for me, and I can't delay. Cao Herui's heart was made to beat by this news, the pace was a little fast, and a little unstable, he knew that the thirty people ate and drank well in Zhang's house, and rarely went to help with things.
Forget it in the past, but not at this time, money, time is money, the salary given by the Zhang family is high, really work hard, one person's salary can make two jars a day, and collect a thousand jars externally, this promise is given, for the sake of fame, the Zhang family will not regret it.
Thirty people are sixty jars a day, and six hundred jars in ten days, how much is that? Nine thousand, all the money has been repaid, and there is still a surplus.
The servants hurried over, got the order and left in a hurry.
When the news of the fifteenth jar was released, some people were also tempted and wanted to take advantage of their leisure time to catch shrimp and make shrimp paste, but Zhang Zhong posted another notice here, to repair the seawall to prevent the typhoon from washing away the people's houses.
In the choice between money and Zhang Zhong, most of the people finally chose Zhang Zhong, and only a small part chose money.
For two days in a row, there were a small number of people who did not work hard, which made Zhang Zhong a little sad, he had paid so much for Luzhou, and without forcing it, what he said was not as good as that money, the people who had just destroyed their homes, and those who didn't want to think about the disaster.
"This is human nature, never think about what others should be, how others should be, who is complaining? This notice is a litmus test, well, heaven and hell, between thoughts, the end is doomed when you choose, anyone who works without hard work, from tomorrow onwards, they don't have to do it, catch shrimp. β
After Zhang Xiaobao got the news, he didn't feel sad at all, he just felt sad for those people, fifteen times a jar of shrimp paste, lobster? are all waiting for pie to fall from the sky.
Wang Juan also felt worthless for those who chose to catch shrimp, how could there be any fifteen runs, they were all deceptive things, the pickling shop was purchased outside the shop, and the fishing shop had already done almost it, many people thought that the pickling shop belonged to the Zhang family, the fishing house belonged to the Zhang family, and the shrimp paste collected was not the Zhang family.
It's too naΓ―ve, various industries participate in each other's shares, and settle separately, even if this is not the case, just find someone to buy shrimp paste in the fishing shop, and then sell it to the pickling shop, that is, a thousand jars outside, when the time should cry and cry, laugh and laugh, and see a variety of life.
"The wind does not blow, the leaves fall by themselves, the water is not turbulent, the fish are alive, the heart is not quiet, in vain, the sky is cloudy and cloudy." Wang Juan misses the Zhuangzi of the Zhang and Wang families a little, there are not too many troubles there, the villagers listen to the words of the master every time they choose, and the master has never disappointed them.
"Help, help." "I know what to do, help." "Bang bang
"Huh? Xiaobao, did you hear anything? Wang Juan suddenly heard someone shouting for help.
"I heard it, Qi Dong slammed the door there, he figured it out, go, ask him what he knows." Zhang Xiaobao locked up Qi Dong for nearly five days, and finally heard the movement and pulled Wang Juan to walk there.
"Do you need to call a guard?" Wang Juan was afraid that Qi *** would be in trouble.
Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand, "Let's go, you don't need to call a guard, he ate a steamed bun at noon yesterday, and he has been drinking water for the past few days, who is he?" Without salt, a steamed bun can be recovered, and his feet are still tied. β
"Help, I know what to do, let me do it, I'll do it, it's okay to keep fake accounts, I can't stand it."
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to the outside of the firewood room, they heard Qi Dong's voice, which had become weak.
"Not to mention, he's so smart that he knows what he's told to do." Wang Juan praised.
Zhang Xiaobao laughed twice: "How many people who can go to great lengths to fake accounts will be fools?" Have a good chat with him. β
The two of them stood outside the door of the firewood room, and Qi Dong, who was inside, found that the crack in the door was dark, looked out with one eye, and immediately said happily: "Little boy, little lady, tell the adult, I understand what the adult means, I am obedient." β
