Ruan Mingyu, the third young man of the Ruan family, was in the account room behind the workshop, and his face was quite ugly.

"There are only five days left until the Buddha's birthday on September 30, and you actually told me that the Buddha bead bracelet is not ready yet?!"

Shopkeeper Hong stood in front of him, bowed his head and said: "My subordinates have searched for various suppliers, and the prices that can be pressed have been suppressed, and the old faces that can be sold have also been sold, and I can only get two thousand bracelets." For the rest, there's really no way. ”

Ruan Mingyu's eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly, "Buddha's Birthday is a grand festival, and there are four or five thousand people going up the mountain that day. I also told the abbot and the old monk that on that day, I would definitely give 5,000 strings of Buddhist beads to the good men and women of the world. Now you're going to tell me that there's still a gap of 3,000 strings? ”

Shopkeeper Hong didn't dare to look at the young owner, so he turned his heart and said: "The young owner, there is really no way for his subordinates." Otherwise, you can deduct my bonus to fill the gap. ”

Ruan Mingyu's lips pursed into a thin line, thought for a moment with a calm face, and said to him, "You go out first." Shopkeeper Hong hurriedly wiped his sweat and walked out, walked to the door, and heard the young owner say: "Remember, until the last moment, don't give up lightly!" ”

When Ruan Shu brought Li Jingshan to look for him, he saw a stinky face that was darker than in the morning.

Sitting in the carriage back to the house, Li Jingshan endured it for a while, she really couldn't stand the low pressure in the carriage, and looked at Ruan Mingyu with her eyes closed, and she didn't know if she was asleep. She quietly moved to Ruan Shu's side and asked in a low voice, "Who provoked the young master?" ”

Ruan Shu glanced at Ruan Mingyu and replied cautiously: "It seems that it is still for the sake of the Buddha beads." ”

"What beads?"

Ruan Shu glanced at Ruan Mingyu again, and saw that he didn't open his eyes, and he didn't mean to stop him, so he had the courage to quietly explain the reason for the matter.

"Buddha bead bracelet? Do you still want to buy this thing? Can't you just wear it yourself with a bodhi? Li Jingshan said in surprise.

Ruan Mingyu opened his eyes suddenly.

Ruan Shuqi said: "Bodhi? What is it? Aren't Buddha bead bracelets made from sandalwood seeds? ”

Li Jingshan didn't pay attention to Young Master Ruan, and introduced herself: "According to the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, so people think that Bodhi is the most Buddha-like. It's just that the Bodhi tree can be a hybrid of a variety of trees, and people have long been unclear whether the Buddha attained enlightenment under that tree, so many trees are called Bodhi. The Buddha also has the saying that "Bodhi is not a tree, and the mirror is not a platform". ”

She folded her hands and said, "There are also many Bodhi seeds that can be used to wear bracelets, such as Vajra Bodhi, Xingyue Bodhi, etc., all of which are very good-looking." ”

She said a lot, only to find that the other three people in the carriage were staring at her in a daze, and after a quick pause, she hesitated: "...... Don't you all know? ”

Ruan Mingyu ignored her question and asked directly, "Do you know where these bodhi are found?" ”

Li Jingshan nodded hurriedly, "There are many in the woods outside the city. After a moment's thought, he added, "It's near where you first saved me." ”

Ruan Shu said excitedly: "Young master! Problem solved! ”

Ruan Mingyu was not so excited, he thought for a moment, frowned, and said: "Even if we find the materials, we have to clean, punch, polish, and string the threads." Now there are less than five days left, and we don't have enough people in our workshop, so it's too late. ”

Ruan Shu's face collapsed again.

Li Jingshan paused for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Actually, I still have a way, but I don't know if the young master believes me." ”

"What's the solution?" Ruan Mingyu asked quietly, staring at Li Jingshan's inky eyes bottomless.

Li Jingshan met his gaze fearlessly and said, "There are many small jewelry workshops in Spider Hutong, which are equipped with basic tools, and craftsmen are also familiar with these simple crafts. If the young master divides this work among those workshop craftsmen, he can quickly make the thousands of bracelets you want with a small amount of manual fees. ”

She paused, then continued, "I worked with a workshop there, and if you can trust me, I can contact him to help find someone, and promise to do it quickly and well." ”

Ruan Mingyu listened quietly, but his eyes became brighter and brighter. When he finished speaking, he clapped his palms and said loudly: "Okay! Just do as you say. You first take Ruan Mo to find the Bodhi Zi you said, you tell me the address of the craftsman, and I will look for the person who works. If it succeeds this time, your handmade dividends, I will immediately mention one and a half to you! ”

"Thank you, young master." Li Jingshan leaned in and thanked her. What I thought in my heart was that the one-and-a-half percent dividend was originally mine, but it was just deducted half of it by you. Hmph, take my benefits and send them back to me as a favor!

While speaking, everyone acted separately, Li Jingshan took Ruan Mo out of the city and into the mountains, and took him to know all kinds of Bodhi, and found a total of Xingyue Bodhi, Vajra Bodhi, Phoenix Eye Bodhi and other Bodhi that can be used for Buddha beads. Ruan Mo collected samples and brought them back to Ruan Mingyu for decision.

And back in the Ruan family's courtyard, Ruan Mingyu had already taken Ruan Shu back from a tour of Spider Hutong and finalized more than a dozen workshops that could take over the work, and Uncle He, who had worked with Li Jingshan, was naturally the one in charge of this matter.

As a well-developed shop, Jingbao Pavilion at this time reflects the rigorous operation ability, and soon the empty manpower in the pavilion is acting step by step, collecting and collecting, transporting and transporting, and the personnel in each position are like a precision cooperation instrument, running efficiently.

Shopkeeper Hong was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and he still supervised the work in the workshop in the middle of the night. He rubbed his hands and reported to Ruan Mingyu, "These Bodhi seeds are rich in patterns and have profound meanings, let's package and promote them well, maybe they are more popular than the original sandalwood bracelets!" In the future, we can open a Buddha beads counter to sell the Bodhi Buddha beads that have been opened, which is almost a profitable business! ”

Ruan Mingyu was peeling an orange to eat, and when he heard this, he picked up an orange from the fruit bowl with a smile and threw it over, "Haha, now I can keep your year-end dividend, but there are more ghost ideas." Tell me, under what conditions did you use to ask the abbot to help you open the light this time? ”

"This ......" Shopkeeper Hong scratched his head, thought for a long time, and said, "Or, let's also give dividends to the temple?" ”

"Ahem!" Ruan Mingyu choked for a moment, reached out and grabbed the orange in the hand of Shopkeeper Hong, "Amitabha!" People's Buddhism is pure, beyond ten miles of red dust. You want to take some copper-smelling things to defile the Buddha, you really deserve to be beaten. ”

"So what to do? But please give me advice. Shopkeeper Hong was in a very good mood, bowed his head and waved his hands, and made a respectful gesture.

"You're really brainless." Ruan Mingyu peeled two more peanuts and threw them into his mouth, before he said leisurely: "The dividends are for people in the world, which is naturally blasphemy against the Buddha, but if you give incense to the Buddha during the New Year's festival or repair the golden body, it is the sincerity of the Buddha, or a merit for our Jingbao Pavilion to cultivate!" Do you understand? ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Shopkeeper Hong lowered his head and desperately pressed the corners of his upturned mouth, and his heart said that he didn't change the soup without changing the medicine, and he didn't take the money to burn it. However, with a different name, it will change from a mortal to a Buddha. Hehe, sure enough, it's a young chess player.

"Understood, it's up to you to negotiate this business with Daguan Temple." Ruan Mingyu said lazily.

Shopkeeper Hong sighed in his heart, and had to respond: "Yes, my subordinates understand." He knew that according to the character of the young owner, the work in front of him could be pushed. According to him, he is only responsible for those high-level decisions, and the action of expanding the territory, and those scattered work, which he does not do.

However, when he turned around and exited the inner room of the account room, he was still full of admiration for the young owner who had just passed the year of the weak crown.

Ruan Minh Yu's keen sense of smell of business opportunities, accurate grasp of the market, command and distribution of decisions and actions, and even the grasp of people's hearts and the skill of employing people all reflect the good qualities of a true businessman. In the past six months or so that Shopkeeper Hong has cooperated with him, he has sincerely recognized this young young owner.

After sending away the shopkeeper Hong, Ruan Mingyu hooked his finger at Ruan Mo, who had been loading vases on the side. Ruan Mo stepped forward silently and handed him two thin pieces of paper, "The information about Li Jingshan is all here." ”

Ruan Mingyu swept over with a glance and a smile full of interest, "She turned out to be the daughter of Li Zhiyuan of 'South Li and North Yue'...... Still expelled from the Li family? The more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and his slender jade-like fingers tapped lightly on the sandalwood table, and said with a smile: "It seems that Fu Bo helped me pick up the treasure this time." Notify the bookkeeper and give Fu Bo a bonus of 10% at the end of the year. ”

------

Young Master Ruan's baby Li Jingshan didn't notice it, and she was still doing her part in the Ruan family's courtyard - setting plates for Young Master Ruan's meals.

The subordinates kept thinking, and they kept thinking about what kind of position the young master would arrange for her in the Treasure Hunting Pavilion. Also, can she still receive her salary in the other hospital? After all, he still serves the young master as usual.

She sent the food box to the front yard, waited for the young master to eat and drink, and asked carefully, "Young master, when will I go to work in the Jingbao Pavilion?" ”

Ruan Mingyu was cleaning his hands with a handkerchief, and raised his head when he heard this, "What, are you in a hurry to go to the Jingbao Pavilion?" ”

"No, it's just that this month is almost over, I think about receiving this month's salary, and then I will go over ......" Li Jingshan lowered her head to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, to hide her embarrassment, "Also, will I still be counted as an errand in this yard in the future?" ”

Ruan Mingyu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. He naturally didn't care about paying an extra salary of one or two taels of silver every month, but looking at her cramped appearance, he couldn't help but tease her, "Oh, it's quite extravagant to pay the same amount of money for this presentation of every meal." I'll think about it. ”

He looked at the slight disappointment in Li Jingshan's eyes, and continued to mend the knife: "Also, do you think that I can enter the Jingbao Pavilion if I want to?" You have to be assessed before you can decide. If you fail the assessment, you will continue to be a fire-burning girl who waits in the courtyard. ”

Li Jingshan thought about it, if you want to become a craftsman in Si Zhenfang, you have to pass the third-level exam, and it seems that the Jingbao Pavilion is probably the same. Then he asked, "What is the assessment?" ”

"On the Buddha's birthday on September 30, you and the guys in the shop went to the Daguan Temple to give Buddha beads. Let's talk about it after this festival. Nguyen Minh Yu threw the towel back into the basin.

"Yes, slave understands." Li Jingshan had no choice but to nod her head, rolled her eyes, and asked again, "...... the salary?" ”

Ruan Mingyu's good-looking peach blossom eyes glared, "What salary?" You're not an employee of Jingbao Court, no! You're the guy I've sent to help. ”

Sure enough, there is no treachery, no business!

Li Jingshan carried the basin of water in her stomach and went down with the food box.

Ruan Mingyu looked at her slender figure, and curled the corners of her mouth in a good mood as usual.
