Yang He was finally persuaded by Chen Ping, took a drawing, and promised to go back to discuss finding some people to build tables and chairs according to Chen Ping's method.

The tables and chairs in each drawing have the same measurements, and the height is similar, but there are differences in details such as patterns. As long as you make one according to the size first, try the comfort level, if it is good, you can directly do it according to the drawing, and then modify it slightly.

The height of the table and chair is required, only when the position is appropriate, people will feel comfortable when they sit on it, but this height Chen Ping is only determined according to his memory and his own tables and chairs, and the specific needs to be made by Yang He, and then the final determination after correction.

gave Zhao Gui an advance payment of ten taels of silver, Yang He's postponement for a few days, and waited for the table and chair of the sample to be made before giving it, Chen Ping sent the two out of the door.

"Okay, Grandpa, don't be angry. Tomorrow, Zhao Gong will bring someone to demolish the dilapidated restaurant, and we will build another one ourselves. Chen Xiaoyi had already moved from the verandah to the hall, Chen Ping sent Zhao Gui and Yang He away, and returned to the hall to persuade, "When the time comes, you still need to supervise Grandpa, don't let people steal the materials in my house." ”

"Then Xue Xiong has gone too far, such a good restaurant, if it is ruined, it will be ruined, and this will have to spend more money, and he doesn't know what tricks he will play in the future." Chen Xiaoyi was very angry, complained, and then remembered and asked, "How much money does it cost to rebuild a restaurant?" ”

Chen Ping held up a finger.

"Ten taels?"

Ten taels is not much, there are ten taels in the small treasury, and Chen Ping still has twenty taels in his hand, plus the money earned by the fire sickle in recent days, Chen Ping's family now roughly calculates that there are nearly fifty incomes.

It is not easy to carry copper coins, and most of the money is exchanged for silver, with the help of Chen Yuanliang, who works in the county government, it is not difficult to exchange silver coins, and Chen Ping did not interfere.

In winter, the fire sickle is indeed easy to sell, and Chen Ping has divided eight taels of silver in just one month. According to the ratio of the four layers, there should be a total of fifty taels. The price of a set of fire sickles is 100 wen, so if you calculate it, you will have to sell 500 sets of fire sickles every month.

It was Chen Ping who took a large amount of iron pieces from Chen Hecai before the first day, and the fire sickle was still in short supply. A Liuhe county, a middle county, must not be able to eat so much goods.

There are middlemen, and only this can be explained. There are already businesses imitating Chen Ping's fire sickle in the county, and because of Chen Ping's first move, they have the advantage of customers, and the impact is not great.

However, Chen Ping is already preparing to upgrade the fire sickle again, and it is to expand production, which can be taken care of after the matter of the restaurant is dealt with.

Not only the fire sickle, but also the sales of toothbrushes have skyrocketed, and more than 100 pieces can be sold every month. However, the price of the toothbrush is not high, only fifteen cents, and I get one or two halves of silver.

Removing the stratification given to Chen Ya and Chen Yuanliang, Chen Ping got nearly one or two. And due to the shortage of raw materials and manpower, the number of toothbrushes has not been much. By now, the toothbrushes in the grocery store outside have been sold out.

Manpower, in the final analysis, is still manpower.

These things just flashed in Chen Ping's mind, and then put them down, and now he still needs to deal with the affairs of the restaurant first: "It's not ten taels, it's a hundred taels." ”

The advance payment to Zhao Gui was ten taels, and when the restaurant was completed, it would have to come up with nearly twenty taels. Just the work of the mason, it cost nearly thirty taels, and there is Yang He's side, which is also expensive.

The materials of the tables and chairs should be solid wood, the worst is beech, and the upper ones are rosewood and sandalwood.

That's the most expensive part of the cost.

That said, Chen Ping does not plan to reduce investment.

Chen Ping didn't feel distressed, Chen Xiaoyi listened to a hundred taels of silver, but he didn't make a sound for a long time, his chest rose and fell violently, and he scolded after a while: "One hundred taels, one hundred taels, it's only a restaurant." You really ...... Seriously......"

Chen Xiaoyi pointed at Chen Ping and nodded, but the words behind him were pressed into the throat, but they didn't come out.

"What have you done here? Why is it necessary to use it so much? Chen Xiaozhong was also a little stunned when he heard this, "Zhao Gui and Yang He are both honest craftsmen, so they shouldn't ask for more money from you." ”

According to Chen Xiaozhong's estimate, if the restaurant is heavily covered, thirty or forty taels of silver is enough, and more, fifty taels. But this time, it doubled.

"It's none of their business, it's my idea." Chen Ping said, "I plan to use green bricks, the walls inside need to be pasted with wooden boards, the same is true for the floor, and the tables, chairs and furniture are made of good wood. ”

"How much more money do you need?" Chen Xiaozhong asked, this is going to borrow some silver money for Chen Ping.

"Well...... Not for this. I would like to borrow some money from you, uncle, but I am afraid that you don't have any money at home, uncle. Chen Ping groaned and shook his head, "Don't worry, I have a way, and I will be able to have money at home in a while." ”

"What can you do? Is it possible that the money will fall in the sky? Chen Xiaoyi said, "What about the money you took from your uncle?" Show it to me. ”

Chen Ping spread out his hands and smiled helplessly: "I have already given Zhao Gong as a deposit." It's always hard to get it back now, right? ”

The money was given, and it was not good to come back, so Chen Xiaoyi could only sit on the stool and sulk.

After a light meal, the father and son led the ox cart and drove home. Chen An also wanted to go to the county and city stores to buy some food, but was severely reprimanded by Chen Xiaoyi.

"I didn't buy anything, I wouldn't have come if I knew I wouldn't have come." Sitting on the ox cart, Chen An muttered, but he still grabbed the pastries in his hands and stuffed them into his mouth, and when he left, he didn't take the pastries from the kitchen of his uncle's house.

Back home, the state of the father and son was seen by Liu, and when they asked, Liu heard that they wanted a hundred taels of silver, and they also counted Chen Pinglai first.

However, after only two sentences, Liu secretly went to the east room, and Chen Ping heard the sound of copper coins and broken silver inside.

Shaking his head, Chen Ping knocked on the door, got an answer, and entered the east room, where Liu was counting the silver coins: "Mother, the silver money is to keep Chen An." Tomorrow, I will go to Shangtu Village, and I will ask about the master, and give the bundle to Chen An, so that Chen An can go to school as soon as possible. ”

Although the weather is good during the day, it will take two or three days for the mud on the road to dry completely. A few miles of road, although the mud is not able to run, you can take a walk, look at the scene of the beginning of spring, Chen Pingquan is regarded as a distraction, and by the way, he will sort out the next plan.

I didn't feel so busy some time ago, but this time, things were all pressed, and Chen Ping felt that there was a shortage of manpower, and everything he had to do by himself.

"It's okay, Chen An is still young, even if he is one year old at night, he can go to school again." The silver coins had already been counted and placed neatly, and then Liu took them all out, counting them one by one, "Wait, how many are you counting?" You go out first, and then wait for your mother to finish counting. ”

Liu drove Chen Ping out, and before Chen Ping turned around, he heard the black man screaming in the backyard.

Noisy.

Hurriedly ran over and found that in the black nest in the backyard, Chen Xiaoyi was holding a wooden stick and tapping on the back of the black boy: "Grandpa, what are you doing?" ”

"What? There is only so much money at home, if you don't sell the black and the chickens and ducks, where will you find the money? Chen Xiaoyi said angrily, "It's the same in your uncle's house, since your uncle said that he wanted to borrow money from you, why don't you want it?" ”
