Chapter 186: Managing Rice
Being teased by Su San'er, Chen Dong was a little annoyed.
originally wanted to find the city lord to pull a relationship and talk about feelings, but who knew that the city lord would not see him.
I don't know what the attitude of the city lord is.
The next day, he went to the city lord's mansion early to wait for money, and really saw Lord Wang.
Although Lord Wang is young, his majesty is not small, and he does not dare to look at him.
Chen Dong believes that he has rich experience and will not be oppressed by Wang Jingxing. But every time they met, he was timid and didn't dare to be disrespectful to him.
"Your Excellency."
"Shopkeeper Chen, not watching at home, why did you come here?" Wang Jingxing reminded him, "Su San'er is not a good stubble, if you want to fight with her, you have to spend a little more time on her." ”
"Adult ......"
"This official, if you still have something, I won't talk more about it with Shopkeeper Chen."
Seeing Lord Wang leave, Chen Dong pondered the words just now.
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I went straight out and wanted to go back to the commercial dock.
The merchant dock is very lively, and there are especially many caravans entering the merchant dock to buy and sell goods, and the tax officials are shuttling back and forth with account books and seals.
At this time, Steward Chen hurriedly ran over, stood in a row with his young owner, and said while wiping his sweat: "Early this morning, Su Ji suddenly said that he would take care of the rice for the female workers. ”
"Cooking?"
"Yes. Su Ji's people said that Xiang Wu could buy a bowl of brown rice for only three pennies. If you add a penny, you can get vegetarian dishes. Add two pennies to get a spoonful of fried meat with green peppers. ”
"Is she crazy? Food prices are not low. ”
"Whether she's crazy or not, the old slave doesn't know, it's just that we don't want to do anything else, and everyone is robbed over there.
There is also the second batch of goods delivered today, if the goods cannot be delivered, I am afraid that the shopkeeper Xu will be blamed! ”
Most people like visible benefits the most, and most of them bring food to work, and if they can eat a bowl of hot rice, they are naturally very happy.
Who doesn't like such a proprietor who thinks about female workers?
This Su San'er is really not simple, and he was really said by Lord Wang.
Chen Dong thought again, Lord Wang reminded him like this, he must have supported him in his confrontation with Su San'er.
Chen Dong walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and said, "You beat the gong and drum, go and tell those female workers to raise the penny and a thread here, so that they can increase their hand speed." I also told them that we allowed them to go to Su Kee to buy food. But don't delay the start of work. ”
"Yes."
Chen Dong returned and sent servants to recruit female workers and let them work with him.
Knowing that the wages here were more than a penny, the female workers who were watching all came to Chen Ji.
He also said with a smile while walking: "It's still the generosity of the shopkeeper Chen, we are all willing to come here to work." ”
"Shopkeeper Chen rest assured, as long as you pay your salary on time, we won't go anywhere else."
"Please, today's work depends on you." Chen Dongpi didn't smile.
The female workers were very happy, and some of the girls did not dare to face the shopkeeper Chen, so they bowed their heads and blushed and followed their relatives inside.
"The owner, Shopkeeper Xu is up and is going this way." Servant.
Chen Dong summoned the servants, "Go find the dart bureau and say that we are going to transport goods to Yancheng." A few of you, go find a porter and let them carry the raw silk on the car. ”
"Owner, we don't have enough raw silk, and we may not have enough today."
"Make a sample first and pretend to show Xu Chao, the main thing is to delay time. You go in and let the women move quickly, you must make 1,200 strands of raw silk today. ”
"Okay."
After thinking about it and confirming that there was no mistake, Chen Dong patiently waited for Xu Chao to come to the door.
…………
After work, many female workers meet to sit on the street to eat, and some meet to go to the street to buy some daily necessities.
Shangwu has formed an independent economic circle, and the development is more prosperous than the average town.
Workshops pay women workers and porters, who buy and sell daily necessities and ornaments, and the wages fall into the hands of various vendors.
All kinds of vendors bought goods from the workshops and returned the money to the workshops.
It can also be said that most of the silver money flowed back to the Su family.
Su Kee Silk Reeling Workshop is the largest workshop in Shangwu, with 300 female workers working every day, and more than 100 taels of silver money are sent.
And the most prosperous street in Shangwu is the Su family.
Except for the few rented out, the rest are Su Ji's shops, with all kinds of clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Not only that, Su Ji set up a private school, specializing in teaching literacy and writing, and abacus as an account book. There is also a Taihui faction collecting money.
If you don't want to learn literature, you go to the Taihui School to learn martial arts, learn kung fu, and follow your father and uncle out to do business. Take the goods out of town.
Su Ji sent out the money through the wages. Then use all kinds of means to collect money and return home.
Going around, it won't be Su Lingyu who loses money.
Su Ji deserves the title of the head snake.
Due to business expansion, Wang Lung moved to Nanyang City to do development, and the title of the head snake fell to Su Lingyu.
has become a local snake, and the daily flow account is not less than three hundred taels, no wonder Chen Dong's eyes are red.
The second child of Su Ji Restaurant pushed two carts, on which there was brown rice, a pot of oily and shiny green sparse, and a pot of fried pork with green peppers.
There is also a board cart with taro on it, taro the size of an adult's fist, two pennies. Two fist-sized taro, one for a penny.
As long as you want to eat enough, the amount of food is enough.
The dart masters of the dart bureau were also hungry, and Chen Ji's goods were not loaded for a long time. Waiting and waiting, people couldn't bear it, and finally someone had the cheekiness to go over to buy food.
I actually bought a bowl of rice, but I had to give a deposit in case they didn't return the bowl.
Chen Ji's female workers rushed over to buy food when they saw someone buying food.
The servant mingled in the crowd, bought a bowl of brown rice, pressed a spoonful of fried meat with green peppers, and brought it back to the host.
Chen Dong held chopsticks and flicked the rice.
"Three pennies, half a bowl of brown rice; Two pennies, a spoonful of green peppers to fry meat, green peppers more than meat. Hmph, the Su family will do business. Such a conscienceless business, and not afraid of choking to death? ”
"The owner, shopkeeper Xu, please come over. He seems to want to go back to Yancheng with this batch of goods. ”
"Then let him go back, it's useless for him to stay here." Chen Dong said, "Send more people to the countryside to buy silkworm cocoons, and we will start supplying Nanyang City." ”
"Yes."
Wang Jingxing vigorously promoted sericulture technology, and the villages under the jurisdiction of Liangcheng expanded rapidly in sericulture.
The amount of silkworm cocoons is more than that in the Jiangnan area.
If you meet a person with a clever mind, the cocoon raised is a first-class product.
Not long ago, Chen Dong obtained the silk reeling technology of the Su family, and then improved the silk reeling machine, and then went to Shangwu to establish a silk reeling workshop.
Reeling silk was not his last step, what he wanted to do was to weave and dye cloth.
He wanted to use Shangwu as a base, reeling silk, weaving and dyeing cloth, expanding his territory, and selling silk to various places.
He dreamed of one day becoming an imperial merchant and supplying the silk produced by Chen Kee to the royal family.
The stumbling blocks on the road must be kicked off.
He and Su Lingyu can only save one.
Su Lingyu is very strong, but he also has backers.
