Chapter 8 Workshop

"Childe, hey, I'm finally home......"

The moon was already hanging high in the sky, Ye Qiu and Meng Niu had just arrived at the door, and as soon as they entered the small courtyard, Meng Niu, who was already exhausted, carried half of the burden into the hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Today, more than 80 pieces of glass have been sold, and the two of them have been busy all day to complete the installation, and even lunch and dinner are eaten during working hours.

"Life is really hard, it feels so good!" Ye Qiu looked at the less than twenty pieces of glass left in the basket, as well as six hundred taels of silver with white flowers, and was already full of yearning for a better life in the future.

After a few young masters calculated the money for them today, Ye Qiu himself was almost startled, and today he sold eighty-six pieces of colored glass in one day, earning a total of eight thousand six hundred taels of silver, of which eight thousand taels were silver tickets and handed over to Ye Qiu's hands, and six hundred taels of cash silver were packed separately in three small boxes and placed in the basket, which was picked up by Meng Niu.

"Young master, Brother Niu, are you back, have you had dinner?"

Qing'er, who hadn't waited for the two of them, heard a voice in the hall in the bedroom, and she hurriedly walked out with her clothes lying down, and asked very carefully after seeing the tired two.

"We've all eaten, you go to sleep first, we'll go to bed after taking a shower." Ye Qiu looked at her sleepy-eyed appearance, lightly scratched her little Qiong's nose, and said with a smile.

"The water in the kitchen is still warm, you are tired from the day, don't take a cold bath." Qing'er hurriedly answered and ran back to the bedroom shyly.

Ye Qiu and Meng Niu also lay down on the bed after taking a refreshing bath, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Nothing was said all night.

"Sister Qing, the young master is really powerful, he sold more than 80 pieces of glass at once, and he made more than 8,000 taels of silver!"

After getting up early in the morning, as soon as Ye Qiu walked out of the door, he heard Meng Niu's loud voice talking proudly there, and Qing'er, who was busy in the kitchen, also interjected two sentences from time to time, Ye Qiu smiled, yawned and went to wash.

"Young master, is what Brother Niu said true? Did you really sell that much glass? ”

Breakfast was served on the table, Qing'er still asked Ye Qiu again with some disbelief, and after Ye Qiu took a sip of rice porridge, the old god said on the ground: "Didn't Meng Niu tell you everything?" Of course it's true. ”

"Why haven't you seen a tael of that silver?"

Ye Qiu pointed to the bamboo basket that was still on the wall: "There are six hundred taels in the basket." ”

When Qing'er heard this, she immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, ran over and turned over the cloth, opened the box and saw the silver, and the whole person was stunned, and exclaimed: "That's a lot of silver!" ”

"Sister Qing, what I said is the truth, you know all about it now, right?" Meng Niu had already finished the second bowl of porridge, and muttered that he went to fill the third bowl.

Ye Qiu could only shake his head secretly when he saw such an edible Meng Niu, and he didn't blame him, who called others as his name, as powerful as a cow, and now that he has money, he can provide it no matter how much he eats.

"Meng Niu, are you familiar with this outside of Hangzhou?"

"Young master, the villain has lived outside Hangzhou since he was a child, and he has already walked around the city of Hangzhou, and there is nothing I don't know."

"Then do you know where there is a sand and stone quarrying workshop outside Hangzhou? Preferably the kind along the banks of the river. ”

After eating, Ye Qiu suddenly thought of a problem, there is not much glass left in his hand, it is really hard to imagine that the four guys were so powerful yesterday, in order to compare, one is more than the other, and most of the inventory is consumed, and now the top priority is to find a workshop to make the glass, and the production process has been written out, all that is missing is a workshop.

"To say that there are a lot of workshops, but there are not many that specialize in collecting sand and gravel......" Meng Niu tilted his head and thought about it, Ye Qiu also knew that in this era, sand and stone were usually used to make some tomb organs, and under normal circumstances, almost no people would use it.

"By the way, young master, I think of one, just outside the north gate at the edge of the Songjiang River under Baisong Mountain, it's just that this workshop has always only mined stones, I don't know if the young master thinks it's okay?" Meng Niu said after thinking for a while.

"That's right, it's not far from us, we'll go over and have a look later, and if we can, buy it and rebuild it into a glass workshop." Ye Qiu immediately high-fived and said.

"Young Master, are you going out now?" Qing'er poked her head out of the kitchen and asked.

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "Qing'er, you can put up the money in the family first." You don't have to wait for us to eat at noon, we'll be back when we're done. ”

After speaking, Ye Qiu asked Meng Niu to lead the way in front and go to Songjiang Dubian.

"Young Master, this is it."

Hangzhou in this era is not the same as the Hangzhou that Ye Qiu was familiar with in his previous life, just a place name is the same, this Songjiangdu is a tributary of the Qiantang River, the water flow is not urgent, but the riverbed is very wide, and there are a lot of sand and gravel on the river beach.

They were now standing at the door of a workshop, which was a very large quarry, but there was not a single worker in sight, Meng Niu shouted a few times at the door, and after waiting for a while, a little old man came out of it.

"This boy is here to book a stone?" As soon as the little old man came out, his shrewd little eyes made Ye Qiu the principal at a glance.

"No, I'm doing business in the city, and I want to buy a workshop to produce for myself, but I don't know that the old gentleman is the person in charge of this stone quarry?" Ye Qiu shook his head, didn't hide it, and directly explained his intentions.

"The little old man's surname is Zeng, everyone calls me Zeng Shishi, and the son also calls me like this." The little old man touched his beard, which was a little loose on his chin, and then said, "Childe, I'm afraid that I came by mistake today, and I don't plan to make a move in this stone field." ”

Ye Qiu waved his hand and said: "Boss Zeng, I won't say secret words in front of the Ming people, I want to ask, if you don't want to resell this quarry, then there are workers in your quarry, and someone has come to you to place an order?" ”

Although he didn't know what the 'order' meant, Zeng Shi still barely understood a little bit, in fact, he had long wanted to sell this quarry, because the riverbed on the south side of the city was bigger and deeper, and there were many mountains nearby, and there were more stones than here, which was better.

Although his quarry is the largest quarry in the whole city of Hangzhou, but because of this, the early years of collecting stones were excessive, and now it is difficult to mine enough stones, and two new stone quarries have recently opened in the south, although the two together are not as big as half of their own field, but the wages given by others are as much as their own, and many of his workers have been dug up, so that his business here has plummeted, and he alone can not continue to mine stones. I can only watch this workshop go into ruin.

Today, I saw someone who wanted to buy his workshop, as a businessman, naturally he couldn't show these thoughts, otherwise it would be difficult for this workshop to sell at a price that satisfied him, and this little boy looked like he was not involved in the world, and he just came up and said that he only had a little advantage, and he didn't look like a businessman who could negotiate at all.

"Boss Zeng, I see that the tools in your workshop have been packed up and stacked, and the dust has also been covered, I think, you have already planned to resell the stone quarry," Ye Qiu pointed to the quarrying tools stacked in the corner of the workshop, and said to Zeng Shi with a smile, "Of course, I know what you are worried about, but you just want to sell it for a good price." In this way, you make an offer, and if it is appropriate, I will not make a counteroffer. ”

"This ......" Zeng Shi was a little surprised, this young man didn't seem to be as simple as he appeared on the surface, just looking at his dress, he didn't look like a rich kid, I don't know how much silver he can take out to buy it.

"Boss Zeng, just say it directly, my son-in-law counts when he speaks, and he will definitely not treat you badly!" Meng Niu urged on the side. It was the first time he had seen someone hesitate about the money that came to his door.

"Okay, since the son is so refreshing, the little old man will not be foolish," Zeng Shi thought for a while, and said happily, "One price, three thousand taels of silver!" ”

"! Old man, you're too much of a bully, aren't you? Meng Niu learned a modern word from Ye Qiukou, and couldn't help but use it.

Ye Qiu also felt that the price was too cheating, and shook his head and said: "Boss Zeng, you are not kind, although your workshop covers an area of hundreds of acres and looks very large, but there are not many quarrying tools and other utensils in it, and besides, after I buy it, I will renovate it, and I will also look for the workers again, to tell you the truth, what I actually value is your existing geographical location and those tools, and there are no workers now." ”

Zeng Shi's old face flushed, he also knew that the price he said was ridiculous, and said with some shame: "It's better to bid for the son, if it is appropriate, the little old man will sell it to the son." ”

"One thousand taels, what does Boss Zeng think?"

"This ...... But Childe is insincere, look at my workshop, it covers an area of hundreds of acres alone......"

"Eight hundred taels!" Ye Qiu directly interrupted him and said unrefusively, although he was in a hurry to buy the workshop, he knew that this Zeng Shi was more anxious than himself, if such a large workshop was smashed in his hand, there would be no place to cry. Now, Zeng Shi probably only met himself as a buyer.

"Okay, okay! One thousand taels! Childe, don't lower the price anymore! As soon as Zeng Shi heard that Ye Qiu was lowering the price, he hurriedly nodded and agreed, as Ye Qiu expected, he began to look for a buyer after the workers left, but no one was willing to take over such a promising quarry, no matter how big the area is, it will be useless, on this riverside, no fool will buy this place to build a house!

"Deal!" Ye Qiu didn't care that Zeng Shi said one thousand taels, he originally planned to use one thousand and five hundred taels to take down this workshop, and now he was very satisfied with this effect.

"Little Lao'er, let's go and get the title deed and house deed, let's go to the yamen together to go through the handover procedures!" Although Zeng Shi was not very satisfied with this price, the workshop was finally sold, and he was suddenly in a good mood, and trotted into the workshop to get the title deed and house deed.

"That's great!"
