Chapter 121: Thank you
The matter of the long liquidation was not spread widely, and everyone seemed to have chosen to forget, and no one mentioned it. However www.biquge.info Chang'an in April was full of irritability and restlessness, and I don't know when it began, and bright bonfires slowly lit up in the wilderness at night, shining like stars in the sky.
Sun Simiao's research was still not completed, but the hatchery in Zhangjiazhuang became increasingly prosperous, especially after the imperial court began to use the policy of pulling nets for chickens and ducks to eat locusts, and the demand for chickens and ducks became more scarce. So that the price of hens that can lay eggs is more than four times higher than before, even the chickens have risen to eight cents a piece, which makes the old Zhong always smile happily when he looks at the big housekeepers who go in and out to buy chickens and ducks every day.
"Young master, our hatchery has sold nearly 30,000 chickens during this time, do you want to slow down?" Lao Zhong stood respectfully in front of Zhang Yi with the account book and reported: "The workers over there in the hatchery haven't had a good rest for more than a month, and they just happened to be paid the monthly money for the previous month today, you see?" ”
"Selling things is only a businessman's job, Lao Zhong, you have to remember that our family is now a noble, and Brother Yi is still a lord, how can you do such a cheap thing?" The old lady was still basking in the sun on the recliner, but when she heard Lao Zhong's words, she immediately quit, and when she stood up, she was immediately supported by a maidservant, and then reprimanded Lao Zhong: "Our family is helping, do you know if you help?" ”
Seeing the confused appearance of the old clock, the old lady put the cane on the ground and pestle, 'Bang! Rather, hating iron and steel, continued: "Let's talk about the house of the male lord Chen of Wu'an County, their family has hundreds of acres of land, and such a large territory needs chickens to help eat the locusts of geography, we kindly sent chickens to their family to help them clean up the locusts, so as a gift they sent something over."
It's been said that you've been several times, and you're also an old man in the family, why can't you turn a corner? In the future, I will have to remember, but I don't dare to talk nonsense, if someone chews his tongue and says it, how will our Brother Yi gain a foothold in Chang'an City in the future? ”
The old lady now hates the word 'sell' very much, and she always thinks that if she often puts it on her lips, even if she is not a businessman, she will be mistaken for a businessman.
Especially now, after her vigorous rectification some time ago, both domestic servants and maidservants have converged a lot, and they don't even dare to mention the word 'money' in front of her.
"The lesson of the old lady is that the old bell must pay attention in the future, our family is noble... You can't talk about buying and selling! Lao Zhong hurriedly and sincerely admitted his mistake, and also strongly supported the old lady's decision.
In fact, he now also understands the benefits of being a noble housekeeper, and when he goes out early in the morning, he can see a shy face and a compliment to greet you, which makes him feel like a spring breeze, and after this period of adaptation, he has been able to accept this compliment very skillfully.
"Humph! It's good to know! The old lady snorted, then put aside the old bell and said to Zhang Yi with a smile: "Good grandson, in the final analysis, you are the pillar of our family, whether it is in the house or in the Zhuangzi, you have to make up your mind, what should you do next for our family?" A few days ago, my grandmother heard that there was a shortage of chickens in many places....."
Although the old lady said that Zhang Yi would make up her mind, she still hoped that the hatchery could continue to operate, if it weren't for her own identity, it was estimated that her old man would have let Lao Zhong go to work on the side.
Zhang Yi is still very clear about the old lady's thoughts, her current attitude is actually the feeling of a rich man who suddenly became rich, both face-saving and afraid of being pointed at, as the so-called fish and bear's paws can't have both, she wants to catch both hands, so it has become such a nondescript statement.
In fact, Zhang Yi understands this idea very well, the sudden wealth is that he has lived two lives before and after, and has seen too many things, but even so, if he can see the current situation clearly, otherwise it is estimated that he is no different from the old lady.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yi said to Lao Zhong: "Since today is the day of pay, let's take a day off, I am afraid that many people who stay in it every day during this time will not be able to distinguish between day and night, and one person will give thirty percent more reward, that's all!" ”
Zhang Yi said lightly, but the old Zhong made a difficulty, and looked at the old lady on the side before cautiously asking Zhang Yi: "Young master, let it go for a day, then..... What about the hatchery? You know, this chicken from the kang to heat up, to hatch out of the more than a month miles, not to mention the chicken nest and duck shed every day to send a lot of eggs, just some time ago put in a lot, this can also be put in the back, what do we do with the eggs that start to hatch? ”
As Lao Zhong said, the eggs that have just been sent over have not yet been fertilized and have not begun to hatch, in fact, they have no effect on the eggs themselves, but once they enter the incubation process, if they are stopped halfway, then the whole batch of eggs may become dead eggs for one reason or another, and such eggs will be completely scrapped.
Of course, if these dead eggs can be eaten in the future generations, after all, although the hairy eggs are not accepted by the public, after all, they can be regarded as having a little basis for acceptance, but it is obviously impossible for anyone to accept them in Datang, so there is no choice but to throw them away.
Zhang Yi thought about it, it was really like this, he hadn't deliberately taken care of things over there since the hatchery hatched the first batch of chickens. After all, with Wu Lao Shuo in charge of affairs over there, he was still very relieved, and the fact was just as he thought, Wu Lao Shuo was very serious and responsible, and even his objection was that he moved all the beds over, and he ate and lived in the hatchery.
It is precisely in this way that with Wu Laozhuan leading by example, the hatchery has gradually moved from the exploration stage to the right track.
But since he said that he was on vacation, Zhang Yi naturally didn't speak, thought for a while and then said: "If you don't have a holiday, you can't say it, in my opinion, let Wu Laozhuan divide the workers into two parts, and some people take turns to rest for a day, and they will follow this method in the future, it is important for us to make money, but if people don't rest well, take a nap and suffer greater losses!" ”
"Yes, I think so!" Lao Zhong nodded, very much in favor of his young master's decision, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go and tell them the good news, but to be honest, this hatchery really got a lot of money for the family, last month our family sent out a total of more than 20,000 chickens and ducks, and those big families have nearly 200 thank-you gifts, if it weren't for the long time in front of the queue, I estimate that there could be more!" ”
