Chapter 3 Courage
"Want to learn from a chef?"
"Hmm!"
"No way! But...... In the future, I will teach you a few tricks to make your restaurant's business prosperous, but I said in advance, this restaurant will make money in the future, and we will be half of each of us! ”
With a snap of his fingers, Ye Heng walked out of the restaurant with the red dress satisfied, and then walked towards Blacksmith Pang's house.
In the Fugui Restaurant, Ye Heng agreed to instruct Li Fugui on his cooking skills, and Ye Heng also returned the IOU made by Li Fugui to him, but Ye Heng signed a contract with Li Fugui and got half of the shares of the Fugui Restaurant.
Before leaving, Ye Heng asked Li Fugui to prepare some things, saying that he was going to brew a spirit, and drew a few pictures for Li Fugui to prepare.
Pang Blacksmith's shop was closed, obviously, it was another bad business, Ye Heng shook his head, and then came to the house of Carpenter Wang next to him with Hongsheng.
Carpenter Wang was busy working, some newly made chairs were placed at home, and the yard was full of wood, and when he saw Ye Heng coming, Carpenter Wang stopped what he was doing.
"Hehe, Uncle Wang......"
"The young master is here!"
Wang Weiyuan wiped his sweat and beckoned: "Young master sit first, just went to Pang Blacksmith, right?" ”
The reason why I asked this was naturally because of the reason why Pang Blacksmith's shop was in front of Carpenter Wang's house.
"Hmm!" Ye Heng smiled and said, "But Uncle Dang is not at home......
"Lao Pang, he is not a debtor!" While speaking, Wang Weiyuan rummaged through the cabinets from the house, and then walked out, but went to the kitchen again.
"Uncle Wang, you should find a woman!" Ye Heng joked, "Otherwise, if you are a guest, no one will take care of this tea and water!" ”
"Hehe......"
Wang Weiyuan brought the tea, put a piece of silver and three hanging coins on the table, and said with a smile: "No, all the family funds have to be returned to the young master, what do you want to marry your daughter-in-law?" Hehe...... Don't worry, young master, I promised the girl in red clothes before, and I will pay back the money in person when the young master is in person, and I won't break my promise! Young master, look at it, ten taels of silver and three pennies, a lot of money......"
The moment he took out the silver, Ye Heng saw Wang Weiyuan's painful gaze, and Wang Weiyuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, it's been several years, and it's been a ...... that I finally saved."
"Oh!"
Ye Heng understood, it turned out that Wang Weiyuan had worked hard all his life, and this was already all his savings! So Ye Heng only took three hangs of money to put away the red clothes, but the ten taels of silver did not move. "Hehe, Uncle Wang wants to marry a daughter-in-law, so I will use this money first......"
When Wang Weiyuan heard this, he smiled honestly, and then said: "Young master, now that the Ye family is in difficulty, why is this money still detained?" Moreover...... Even if you marry a daughter-in-law, you can't spend so much silver! ”
Indeed, at this time, it is enough for ordinary people to marry a daughter-in-law for three or four taels of silver. The founding of the Great Song Dynasty has gone through three dynasties, and it is already a rich country and a strong people, but in Lin'an County, this consumption level is still at the bottom, no better than the Southern Song Dynasty later set up the capital here, and then prices began to soar!
Ten taels of silver, enough to do a lot of things!
Ye Heng stood up, pointed to the pond in front of Wang Weiyuan's house, and then pointed to the back mountain, and then asked, "Uncle Wang, this pond and the back mountain are yours, right?" ”
"That's right!" Wang Weiyuan nodded and said with a smile: "The pond was dug by my Wang family ancestor, and there is a large bamboo forest in the back mountain......
"Huh...... I don't know if Uncle Wang is interested, let's do something together......"
Partnership?
Wang Weiyuan was a little surprised, and then Ye Heng explained, looking at Ye Heng who was talking eloquently, the red dress on one side was silent......
Ye Heng's meaning was to pull Wang Weiyuan to open a papermaking workshop together!
"Uncle Wang, in fact, your conditions here are really very good, you only need to dig a few more big pits in the yard to soak in bamboo, and buy a few cauldrons, uh...... I'm afraid you don't need to buy it, there is a huge uncle! When the time comes, just let him come over and help, and then ......"
Ye Heng simply introduced the method of handmade papermaking, but then said: "But when we make paper, we can add some other things, so that the quality of our paper will be very good, and naturally we will not worry about sales!" ”
Something else?
Wang Weiyuan was stunned by Ye Heng's words, looking at the young master's situation, it seems that he really said he would do it!
So Wang Weiyuan asked, "Young Master, ...... you Do you really want to open a workshop? ”
"Hmm!"
Ye Heng nodded, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, once the workshop is opened, I only need forty percent, and I still have the secret art of papermaking here, so how about ten taels of silver even if it is the start-up capital of the workshop?" Do you want to do it? ”
Wang Weiyuan listened, although he didn't understand such a novel word as start-up capital, but he also understood what Ye Heng meant!
However, Wang Weiyuan was still a little hesitant, because once he agreed, it would be tantamount to asking him to give up his craft, and then take all his wealth to do something that I don't know if I can succeed, and ...... Ye Heng is only fourteen years old now!
Can a fourteen-year-old really make paper?
What to do? Do you want to do it?
Wang Weiyuan hesitated, he is an honest man, and honest people are afraid of being deceived, but ......
On the other side is the young master of the Ye family, a person as good as his mother......
Thinking of this, Wang Weiyuan wanted to agree, but he still couldn't make up his mind!
At this time, a voice came from the door of Wang's house: "Lao Wang, do it!" ”
At a glance, it was Blacksmith Pang who came over, and saluted Ye Heng at the same time: "The young master is here......"
"Hehe......"
Ye Heng smiled, looked at Blacksmith Pang and asked, "Uncle Pang, why is the shop closed?" ”
"This ......"
Da Li was a little embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "Young master, alas! Now that the shop is open, there are no customers coming up, and the business of our town has been robbed by Master Tao, and the craftsmanship is good, so I have nothing to say......"
"And what about your family?" Ye Heng asked: "In addition to the aunt, there are also Sister Chunmei and Brother Tietou, they are all counting on you to live!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't?"
Da Da Li shook his head, then looked at Ye Heng, and finally gritted his teeth and begged: "Young Master, Lao Pang knows that our Pang family owes the Ye family, and I am afraid that we will not be able to pay it off in this life." Otherwise, young master, you can do well, and take in our family of four, it's better than watching your eldest sister Chunmei and Brother Tietou sleep on the streets! ”
What do you mean?
Not only do you have no money to pay us back, but you also want us to take in your family of four?
Hongshang was speechless when she heard it, this huge force is clearly a white-eyed wolf! So Hongshang scolded: "Hey, do you want to be shameless, our young master doesn't ask you to pay back, but you still want the young master to take in your family of four?" Now that the Ye family is unable to protect itself, where can they ......?"
"No problem!"
Halfway through Hongshang's words, Ye Heng agreed. "Huh...... Uncle Pang, I am lacking a person with the ability and martial arts like Uncle Pang, and the fists of the iron-headed brother are like hammers, but the eldest sister Chunmei has long passed the age of marriage, but I am afraid that after arriving at the Ye family, I will have to quickly marry her Zhang Luo's family......"
Unexpectedly, Ye Heng actually agreed to Da Li's request in one bite, which made Da Da Li quite surprised, and Wang Weiyuan, as the master, was even more stunned in place with his eyes wide open!
"What the hell is this ......"
Wang Weiyuan was stunned for a while, finally reacted, and then looked at Da Da Li and asked, "Old Pang, what's going on?" ”
"Hehe......" Ye Heng said with a smile: "Do you still need to ask?" Uncle Pang must have been kicked out by the owner of the rent, and the shop had long been closed, and ...... Did Uncle Pang go to the Fugui Restaurant just now? ”
"Hmm!" Huge Force nodded.
Wang Weiyuan also followed the red dress and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you old man, I really don't know what to do because the young master and his mother, Mrs. Ye, are both bodhisattvas, just now the girl in the red dress said, the young master is now difficult to protect himself, but you still want the young master to take you in?" ”
"That's it!"
Hongshang said angrily, but Ye Heng said: "Hehe, in fact, Uncle Dang knows that I need manpower now!" Don't hide it from Uncle Dang, this time the kid came to the three of you, not to ask for money at all. I believe that Uncle Pang has also seen it, I already have arrangements for Li Fugui's side, and I believe that the business of Fugui Restaurant will be prosperous in the future, but I am afraid that it will not work on Boss Li alone, just so I can let my aunt and Sister Chunmei go to the restaurant to help! In addition, if you want to open a paper workshop here, you have to make some preparations, and you also need manpower! Uncle Pang and Brother Tietou can come here, help build the workshop for the time being, and then we make paper and make money, and then find some people to make the scale bigger, how about it? If you all agree, then from today onwards, your debts to the Ye family will be written off! ”
A write-off?
"Wow!"
Da Da Li looked at Wang Weiyuan excitedly, the latter smiled and said, "The young master is young, he has such courage, and my old Wang will ...... Let's follow the young master! ”
