Chapter Ninety-Nine: Give First and Buy Later
The owner of the tailor shop said this, a little embarrassed, "But little adult, even if no one leaks the model I made, it won't always be a secret, this glove looks novel, but if you know it, it's not difficult to make itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"You're doing a great job." Tianling looked at the tailor shop owner and said, "And the problem you mentioned, don't worry, even if there are other companies stealing business in the future, I won't blame you." β
"Thank you for your understanding!" The owner of the tailor shop was relieved, he was afraid that the child would not understand the truth, and someone would misunderstand him when he grabbed the business.
"Not only that, when our contract expires, if you still have the heart to do this glove business, you can let it go, and I won't interfere more." Tianling said with a smile, "But before this, I also hope that the store can abide by the agreement, and the store can rest assured that during the agreement period, the store will not be called out of business." β
"Don't worry, little boy!" The owner of the tailor shop patted his chest, "I still have this bit of integrity!" β
Two days later, the owner of the tailor's shop delivered the sackcloth gloves to the heavenly spirits as promised.
So this afternoon, when the people received the money, they also received a pair of linen gloves from Tianling, and looked at the people who were at a loss.
Tianling said softly, "Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, it is inevitable to move stones and soil to build official roads, I paid you a few days ago, looking at the hands of many people, there is a faint tendency of frostbite, so I want to do something for everyone." β
So I found someone to make these linen gloves, and put them on when I worked, not only to protect my hands from the cold, but also to protect my hands from sharp earth and rocks.
When the people heard what Tianling said, they were moved, "Little adults, we are bitter in cultivating officials, but we are all paid and happy." β
"That's it, we're all rough people, a little frostbite shouldn't be anything, but the little adults wear more and freeze carefully."
"You can't get frostbite on your hands." Tian Ling smiled and said, "If the spring ploughing of the next year is delayed because of a hand injury, it will not be cost-effective." β
"It's still a thoughtful and far-reaching little adult." As soon as spring ploughing is mentioned, the people begin to pay attention to it, after all, it is their foundation.
"I personally paid for these gloves for everyone, but because of limited financial resources, I could only make a pair for everyone for free." Tianling continued, "I asked the boss who made gloves, and he said that a pair of gloves can last for about ten days and a half months, so after this pair is used badly, if you feel that you still need it, you can only buy it at your own expense." β
"Little adult, I wonder how much silver a pair of gloves cost? If it's too expensive, we'd rather freeze than spend it. A folk man spoke up, straightforward and realistic.
Born in poor families, when they consider whether to do something, there is often only one criterion for measurement, that is, whether it is expensive or not, and the first consideration is not comfort and health, but money.
Tianling did not have the slightest impatience and disdain, and said softly, "The linen cloth is cheap, and the gloves are not much material, but it takes a lot of effort to sew it, but after all, it is a small object, and the boss who sells this is also a good person, and the asking price is not high, a pair of gloves only costs three pennies, and the price of a string of sugar gourds." β
When everyone heard this price, they were relieved, they now work every day, if they perform well, they can get dozens of copper coins, a pair of gloves and three cents, and they can manage ten days and a half months, and spend a few cents to make their lives a little better, they are also willing.
"You don't have to worry about the next thing, now you have this pair in your hand first, if you use it easily, you think it's very good, and then you need it after you use it, you can buy it from me when you settle your wages every day." Tian Ling said, took out his red cotton and white cashmere gloves, "Now let me show you how to wear gloves." β
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
After doing all this, Tian Lingfang turned around and went back to the house, only to be stopped by the Eighth Prince, who was leaning against the door.
"Eighth Prince, what are you going to do?" Tianling's face was inexplicable.
The Eighth Prince stretched out his hand, and spread his palm upwards in front of the Heavenly Spirit, "Take a look." β
"Look at what? My father-in-law doesn't know how to read palmistry. Tian Ling glanced at the palm of the Eighth Prince.
"Who told you to look at palmistry? Look again! The eighth prince stretched his hand forward again.
Tianling pinched the palm of the Eighth Prince's hand with two fingers, looked at it carefully, and then raised his head and replied seriously, "It's very white." β
Smack, the eighth prince slapped Tianling's hand, "Did you see this?" β
"You don't tell me how I know what to watch." Heavenly spirit grievance.
"The people have gloves, but what about the king?" The eighth prince snorted coldly, "Could it be that this king is not as good as a folk man in your eyes?" β
"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot such an important thing!" Tianling patted his head, "The Eighth Prince is waiting for me here!" β
Then he ran back to the room, took out a sandalwood box, and handed it to the eighth prince with a smile, "For you, I wanted to wait for the things in the back to be given to you, but now it's okay to use it for you first." β
"You're sensible." The eighth prince took the box, "You said there are other things?" What is it? β
"Secrecy for now." Tianling smiled, "A small heart, but I hope that the Eighth Prince will not dislike it." β
The eighth prince looked at the smiling Tianling, and a strange feeling crossed his heart, obviously it was a cold day in winter, and he actually felt warm.
The sandalwood box was opened, and there was also a pair of gloves inside, the same as the one worn by Tianling, the cotton layer was sandwiched with cashmere, but it was not red, but a dark pattern, with a unicorn pattern, not publicity, and not losing wealth, the more the eighth prince looked at it, the more he liked it, "Why are you so generous recently?" Throwing money around. β
"What do you mean by that?" Tianling is a little confused, where did he throw money everywhere?
"Isn't giving gloves to the people throwing money? Jiangshan's folk husband sent it, and after that, other places began to repair it, don't you send it? The Eighth Prince looked at Tianling, "Don't think I don't know that you ordered thousands of pairs of linen gloves in that tailor's shop." β
"Who said it was given away for nothing?" Tianling pursed his lips, "Give them a pair to use first, and then if they want it when it is broken, they will have to buy it with money." β
"A pair of three pennies, do you earn it back?" The Eighth Prince was suspicious.
"Of course." Tian Ling snapped his fingers, "The completion of the official road will not be until the spring of next year at the earliest, so there are at least four months left, a pair of linen gloves will be counted according to the maximum time of use for half a month, and a folk man will need at least eight pairs when the official road is completed, except for the free pair, he will have to buy at least seven pairs." That is, twenty-one yuan, I count from the tailor's shop according to the single and double two yuan, eight pairs is sixteen yuan, if you set a few thousand pairs, the price will be reduced on the basis of two yuan, so I have to earn at least five yuan for a people's husband. β
"Penny Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" The eighth prince didn't know what to say, "You are running around in the tailor's shop, and you spend so much effort to earn these people's money?" β
