On the night of the twenty-ninth year of the forty-first year of the Great Ei Dynasty, the weather was gloomy and cold.

But the drivers who returned to the garage after finishing work were filled with great joy on their faces.

Because I have received a notice in the morning, I will have a holiday after cleaning early tomorrow morning, and I will start work on the eighth day of the new year, and so many days off are paid, and I will pay a lot of wages next month.

What makes them even happier is that tonight the car shop not only has a New Year's meal with meat, oil and water, but also can receive year-end bonuses and welfare gifts, and half a horse of cotton cloth per person.

Half a cotton cloth is more than ten meters, buy some cotton can give a family of five cotton clothes for five pieces, can also be used to sew quilts, to ensure that this cold winter will not be frozen, this is a winter sought-after commodity.

Compared with the nine-day holiday of the car shop, the powder shop has to start work on the third day of the Lunar New Year, but every employee of the powder shop from the third to the eighth day of the new year is double-paid, so the employees of the powder shop have no complaints.

Not to mention this kind of welfare, not to mention the poor people who have been used to seeing landlords and old wealth for many years in ancient times, even in Jiang Yi's previous life, there are many companies that do not have it.

Countless people in Linfeng Town, including Gui County, were thrilled to hear such benefits, so in the hearts of many people, it became a dream to work for the Bu family.

Many people were puzzled by Jiang Yi's generosity, including Zhao Fuzi, Bu Shuiyun and even Chen Zhi.

However, Jiang Yi shook her hand and did not explain, she knew in her heart that the hustle and bustle of the world was for profit, and only in this way could these employees maintain the greatest loyalty to the Bujia industry.

Especially in contrast to seeing that others are not full of food and clothing, employees will cherish this job more.

Besides, this little benefit doesn't cost much.

After dinner, Zhao Fuzi and Bu Ru went back to the room to read, and Bu Shuigui, Bu Shuiyun and Jiang Yi were still sitting in the backyard.

Tsubaki stirred the brazier at the table to make the charcoal warmer.

Liu Er poured three cups of tea and placed them in front of the three of them.

Bu Shuigui came over at noon, and after taking a sip of tea, he spoke; "This year, the grocery store made a profit of 24 taels, because a large part of it was transferred to the purchase of fish fry, chicken fry, duck fry, etc., and the actual income is more than that."

Bu Shuigui has studied private school for two or three years and recognizes some simple words.

He continued with the note he had recorded; "The chickens, ducks, and three pigs sold two days earlier received a total of sixty-five taels, and the two cows raised were given to the cart shop. There are also about 8,300 catties of sweet potatoes harvested, except for 800 catties left at home for next year's seeds and food, the rest are sent to the town. ”

Jiang Yi asked; "There are still a lot of people in the village who grow sweet potatoes, right?"

Bu Shuigui said with relief; "Most people try to plant one or two acres, each family has two or three thousand catties, and now the village is eating sweet potatoes, and everyone says that you are good."

Different from Bu Shuigui's elaborate cooking, the yield per mu of other villagers has not reached more than 2,000 catties, but the grain yield of nearly 2,000 catties per mu is also very rare in the eyes of the toiling public.

"Hehe, look at who in the village has more sweet potatoes that are willing to sell, one hundred catties and eighty coppers, how much they will collect."

Bushui Guidao; "If one hundred catties and eighty coppers, and two thousand catties per mu, there will be an income of one or two six, and everyone has never planted such a valuable thing, I think they must be willing to sell some of it."

After a pause, he said; "I'm afraid there will be more people next year."

Last time, the step family sold it and bought three copper pounds, but now it is so cheap to take it back, it is really a wicked capital.

But last time it was sold exclusively, and it was a very fresh thing, and the seeds she bought at the beginning were also bought for five copper pounds.

Besides, it used to be sold as seeds, but now it has become popular in every household, and it is a lot cheaper to be able to harvest 100 catties and 80 copper.

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and said; "Keep the money at home, you and your mother-in-law are old, don't work too hard, if you can't be busy, ask someone for help."

Bu Shuigui waved his hand; "No, your eldest brother is also a laborer now, and it's not very hard to have his help."

"How is Big Brother doing? Did he hate me? ”

"He didn't dare, otherwise I would have beaten him to death, and now let me take care of it again, but he is more obedient than before, I am thinking about helping him find a mother-in-law again in the past two years."

Jiang Yidao; "I'll pay the bride price then!"

Bu Shuigui and Bu Shuiyun both praised the girl in front of them when they heard it, they deserved to be bold people, no wonder they could make so much money.

"Brother Gui, if you want to find it, you can find a hard-working and willing to do it, don't marry a person like Qi's again." Bu Shuiyun on the side said with a smile.

Bu Shuigui nodded and said; "It's nature."

The brothers chatted a few words, and Bu Shuiyun took out an account book and said to Jiang Yi; "My side has calculated this year's accounts, and as of Xiao Chinese New Year's Eve, the annual profit is 1,192 taels, of which in the past four months from the beginning of September to the end of December, the profit is 487 ......taels."

Bu Shuiyun sighed in his heart as he said that he couldn't imagine that his nephew's family could have such a high annual income, and he would never believe it if he didn't calculate it himself.

Jiang Yi nodded, she calculated it herself at the beginning of August, and the profit at that time was about six hundred and fifty taels, and this figure was excluding the salary.

However, the repair of damaged vehicles, the purchase of vehicles, and the purchase of cattle and horses have not been removed, and the expenses here are counted as profits.

Especially for the husband's exam, a lot of money was spent here. So at that time, there were only less than three hundred taels on him.

After September, the powder shops and car shops were rolled out throughout the county, and they began to make profits, and the income was also normal.

Bu Shuiyun continued; "In addition to the purchase of cloth yesterday and the distribution of year-end bonuses, there are now three hundred and eighty-three taels on the books."

"If you don't send so many holiday benefits and year-end bonuses, you will have at least more than 500 taels on your books......"

Jiang Yi said with a smile; "The money earned is spent by everyone, and those coachmen work hard all year round to help me earn so much money, and it is also appropriate to give more people, so that they have the motivation to do a better job, and I can make more money." Business can also last. ”

Bu Shuiyun's dissatisfied road; "But this is too much, not to mention our town, even Gui County, and even Linhe Mansion, I can't find such a good job, there are gifts for the New Year's Festival, and what is the word 'year-end bonus' I have heard for the first time."

"Hehe, okay Uncle Shui Yun, you have helped me calculate the accounts for so long, and it has been hard, this is the gift and thank you I prepared for you for the New Year." Jiang Yi said and asked Liu Er to hold a piece of cloth and three taels of silver wrapped in red paper.

"This ...... For me? Bu Shuiyun was slightly surprised, he couldn't believe it, because since he was a child, he had lived under the strong shadow of his patriarch father, and he had never done anything except studying, let alone income.

"Yes, you have been trying to help me settle accounts for the past few months, and I don't know how to thank you."

"But I've been eating and drinking with you for so long...... Bu Shuiyun stumbled, his mouth was shirking, but his eyes betrayed him, looking at the money.

Don't blame him for being unproductive, his biggest achievement in life so far is to be a child, the first half of his life has been eating grandpa's food, wearing grandpa's clothes, everything is his father's, even if the money for marriage and childbirth is from his father.

"What is there to eat and drink at my brother's house, which is also worth talking about?" Bu Shuigui patted him on the shoulder.

Bu Shuiyun didn't speak, he refused this piece of cloth for three taels of silver in his heart, and felt that it was too shameless to eat, drink and take it at his nephew's house, but his hand trembled slightly and held it over.

The person who disliked his nephew and sister-in-law for being too generous just now, but now he is very grateful for her generosity.

Although his father is the patriarch, he is pushed out of the clan by his prestige, and he has no privileges, nor is he a squire landlord, and his life may be better than that of ordinary families, but not much better.

The same is to work in the field, and the same is not to eat meat a few times a year. Wearing the same ordinary coarse cloth clothes, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the exam to rub his own nephew.

If you take this money back, even if your father knows that he has been abandoned for a few months and has not studied, he may not be chasing him all over the village, right?
