Chapter Thirty-Six: A Poor Boy, Earning Money to Support His Family

Su Liuyu was called to the door of Qinshan Academy by her classmates, and found that Carpenter Wang seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Su Liuyu, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle Wang, bothering you to run so far." Su Liuyu is also very happy, although she doesn't need this thing now, it's always good to have something to defend herself.

Her life is precious, and no one wants to have an accident.

"No trouble, no trouble, this is my blacksmith brother, look at it."

Su Liuyu took it, opened it and looked at it, and her face immediately became happy.

It was exactly the same as expected, and not only that, but I also made ten at a time, and it was very convenient to pack it with a small miniature brocade belt.

"That's it, thank you Uncle Wang, you have a heart." Su Liuyu thanked him with a smile, and said again: "Uncle Wang, can the pencil you made last time be mass-produced?" ”

High volumes?

Carpenter Wang thought for a while and nodded: "Large quantities can be, but there are not many graphite mined recently, but it is not a problem to make a few thousand." ”

A few thousand, that's enough.

"Then you can do as much as you want, I'll give you a deposit first."

The pencil is not troublesome for Carpenter Wang, and the material is not very rare, and Su Liuyu wants a large amount, so he is willing to take this job.

At first, it was just fun, but if it was going to be mass-produced, we had to negotiate the price carefully.

Su Liuyu was ready to sell for fifty yuan, so he started to talk about twenty yuan a piece, but was directly rejected by Carpenter Wang.

"Where do you want twenty wen for this thing, Brother Yu'er, we are all honest people, and we can't pit you, besides, if you want so much, I will definitely make a lot of money, so let's do it, ten cents a piece, you see."

Carpenter Wang calculated the cost, except for graphite, which is a little more expensive, other materials are easy to say.

Of course, it is best to be cheap, Su Liuyu thought that she would have to cooperate closely in the future, and she was not welcome.

"Okay Uncle Wang, don't worry, you believe that I will definitely be able to sell, and there will be more cooperation in the future."

Carpenter Wang smiled with a simple face: "Haole, uncle wait, these five thousand sticks will be given to you in about two months." ”

Su Liuyu nodded, ordered five thousand pencils, paid a deposit of ten taels of silver, and left forty taels to wait until the delivery was delivered before paying.

The money for teaching last time earned twenty-seven taels, and then the assault devil trained for a month and made Su Liuyu earn about fifteen taels.

But Su Liuyu left twenty taels for Lin Xiuyun when she went home last time, and it cost about two taels to make crossbow arrows, plus the ten taels of deposit that had just been predicted for Carpenter Wang, and now Su Liuyu has only ten taels of silver on him.

In the past, Class B and Class D took classes together, but now because of the reason of living in the school, Class D is no longer in class, and if you teach and teach for two months, it will only be 30 taels of silver.

At least ten taels are still missing.

Su Liuyu was depressed.

But I don't want to find someone to borrow it, ten taels is not a small amount, Yu Liang only has three taels a month, and the other classmates are similar to Yu Liang except for Lin Fei.

Come to think of it, you have to find your own cheap master for borrowing money.

At present, the use of pencils in class A has increased significantly.

Especially when you turn in your homework.

At first, several teachers were a little afraid that the students would abandon the calligraphy of the brush.

But I have to admit that this pencil also has the benefits of a pencil, which is not only convenient, but also efficient, so the teachers of each subject also acquiesced to the practices of the students in the class.

Other people in the A class also heard of this kind of pen by chance.

Because Su Liuyu directly drew a lifelike portrait in the calligraphy and painting class, the academy was shocked again.

This kind of portrait is too real, and the most touching thing is Yu Liang, their family is a fast catcher, if they have this painting skill, the income of catching prisoners in the future will definitely be doubled.

So there are more people asking about pencils.

Originally, it was scheduled to start selling next week, but Carpenter Wang said that it would take two months, and it was the peach blossom banquet at that time.

Unlike Qinshan Academy, other academies are mostly poor students who can't afford to read, and Su Liuyu believes that this kind of pen will definitely sell well.

"Liuyu, I plan to start the printing workshop next month, just in time for the peach blossom banquet."

Su Liuyu also had this idea.

"That's right, I can still sell my pen at the Peach Blossom Banquet, but I have a small difficulty, can Master help me?"

Shen Huaizhou was a little surprised.

This apprentice, who has always been a ghost, is also in difficulty?

"What difficulty?" He asked.

"Hehe, I just want to ask the master to borrow ten taels of silver, I have an urgent need, and I will return it to you after the peach blossom banquet."

Su Liuyu smiled a little embarrassed.

Shen Huaizhou suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.

He knew that Su Liuyu's family was not good, so he tried his best to satisfy her in terms of foreign things.

But he ignored this age, in front of a group of young people, the embarrassment of being shy.

I always knew that this apprentice was strong, and I would never open my mouth to him unless I had to.

Su Liuyu had been shouting to make money before, but now he understands a little.

"Later, I will ask Shi'an to pay you a hundred taels of silver, and if the money is not enough in the future, I will go directly to the account office of the study to get it." Shen Huaizhou spoke softly.

"It doesn't need so much, just ten taels, I found someone to order, and when the peach blossom banquet is sold, I will return it to the master."

Shen Huaizhou nodded, knowing that Su Liuyu wanted face, and he didn't refuse at this moment.

It's just that he took it to heart in the end, and decided to make the manufacturing imitation process faster, so that he could add some pocket money to Su Liuyu in the name of selling books.

......

Two months later, the Peach Blossom Banquet was held as scheduled.

Qinshan Academy selected more than 20 students from Class A to go to the exchange.

This peach blossom banquet was held in a family garden.

It is similar to the Suzhou Garden, but it is much larger than the Suzhou Garden, about a large mansion with four entrances and four exits.

I heard that this was once the ancestral home of an official, but it was abandoned after the official was promoted.

No one could afford such a large mansion in this town, and the government used it as entertainment for some parties.

As soon as you enter the garden, you will come to the back garden through the exquisite promenade.

This back garden is built near the lake, there is a pavilion in the center, and all around are full of students from all over the world, because it is a class A, but there are not many young people, about eighteen or nineteen-year-old students, and some are older, all twenty-five or sixteen years old.

Those students wore school uniforms, the school uniforms of Bailu Academy were light cyan and elegant, and Wenqing Academy was black and white, with excellent temperament.

As soon as all the students saw Qinshan Academy coming, they all stopped discussing and looked over curiously.

Su Liuyu and the others were led by Shen Huaizhou and Lin Shuhe, Dean and others.

As soon as they entered the door, the deans of each college greeted each other, and everyone also took their seats.

This back garden is huge, but I heard that there is more than one exchange competition for the peach blossom banquet, and here, it is just a waiting seat for admission.

Then, students from several more academies rushed over one after another, and the people were completely there, and the peach blossom banquet finally began.
