"This is the account book, these have collected a total of more than 1,000 catties of jasmine, there are no flowers on this mountain, maybe they can grow after a few years, I bought 200 catties of sugar, counting the previous one, a total of 500 catties of sugar flowers were boiled, and in the afternoon, let Lin Zi go to the town to buy sugar, let's continue to boil."

"Okay, auntie, I heard you know Braille? Why don't you teach Lin Zi! ”

"I don't learn, what's the use of learning that, and I can't eat it!" Lin Zi's father often said this when he was alive, which not only delayed the future of the two children, but also the son learned that set of thoughts.

"Of course you can eat as a meal, Lin Zi, you are only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, you are still growing up in the rest of your life, if you learn words, can calculate accounts, and can keep account books, I will let you be the shopkeeper, and I will give you at least three taels of silver a month."

"What?" When Aunt Lin heard this, she stood up, she grabbed Lin Zi nervously, looked at him tightly, and her face was full of eager expressions, "Son, son, think about it!" ”

Although this child is very obedient, but sometimes he is stubborn and doesn't listen to anyone, Aunt Lin used to teach him to write, but he either ran away or ran away, and refused to learn, but now he also knows simple words.

He looked at Tong Wu and asked uncertainly, "Can you really let me be the shopkeeper?" ”

"Of course, I will do ......it," Tong Wu agreed.

In the end, Lin Zi nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I'll learn ......."

In this way, Aunt Lin took advantage of the time to teach Lin Zi to learn to keep accounts, and continue to work when it was time to work.

Zhang Zhuzi's family was busy, and his brother-in-law also came to help, and also called two people from their village to come over to help build the kiln, this clay pot kiln is not very complicated, and the products that come out are all low-grade goods, so there is no need to pay attention to it so much.

The rotating wooden disc has been done, Zhang Zhuzi went up the mountain to pull the soil, there are more red clay here, but he did not choose these red clays, but went to the back mountain, found the black soil with higher viscosity and no powder properties, and after pulling it home, he began to sift the soil and mud.

Many villagers saw that many people had come to his house, and they were all busy, so they couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Zhang Zhuzi, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Zhuzi has a special understanding of Rao's thoughts in the village, and said, "Try it, can you burn the porcelain jar, thinking about making some money!" ”

"Didn't you follow the people of the Yang family to do business? Why did you suddenly think of making porcelain jars? Is the Yang family not using you anymore? Someone laughed shamefully.

"If you are idle, why don't you go up to the mountains and pick flowers? What are these for? Sister-in-law Zhang on the side opened her mouth.

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and I replied, "The jasmine flowers on the mountain are gone, and they are not picked, come out to see the excitement!" ”

"I know that when I look at the excitement, I might as well think about how to live a good life!" Sister-in-law Zhang said dissatisfiedly, the people in this village are like this, as if they have no motivation at all.

"It's as if you're doing well, the Yang family is a foreigner, and their thinking is not right, do you see it, I don't need you, right?" Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun also came to see the excitement, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but be sarcastic.

Zhang Zhuzi was angry, and shouted, "Who doesn't need us, Dong's, as long as I make porcelain jars, I will buy my porcelain at the market price, otherwise what do you think I'm busy with?" ”

After that, he glared at the two old women in front of him who were not talking badly, and continued to work.

At this time, they realized that the courtyard wall could not be too low, otherwise these people would have nothing to do to watch the excitement, and it would be annoying enough.

After eating in the afternoon, Lin Zi went to the neighboring village to find Zhao Defa to buy sugar in the town

Tong Wu began to settle the accounts, the fifty taels of silver invested had already spent more than a dozen taels, and the rest of the money had to be placed in the factory to produce moon cakes, and more investment was needed over there.

And they had 120 taels of silver in their hands at the beginning, and they spent some money on life, and it cost almost a dozen taels to build a wing house on the wall of the courtyard, and it cost more than a dozen taels to rent a house, and they also had to decorate the shop, which were all expenses.

In this way, the money is a little insufficient, Tong Wu looked at the account book, and suddenly felt that this time it was more difficult than his first business?

At that time, the thinking was simpler and less impatient, so it felt simpler to put money?

Tong Wu shook his head and closed the account book, although there are still more than seventy taels of silver inside and out, but it should be able to hold on until the opening, and then look at it!

The yards on both sides began to dry up in full swing, Lin Zi was boiling sugar flowers in the yard, and Aunt Lin was sitting at the door of Yang's house to collect jasmine, and the jasmine on the nearby mountains was all bright, but there were villagers from other villages who came to buy flowers, so they still needed to be guarded.

Zhang Zhuzi's house is even more lively, the first experimental clay pot has been fired, almost an hour later, the furnace is opened, but I don't want it all to burn.

The villagers laughed when they saw it, and Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Li laughed the most, "It's over, right?" What's the matter? Do you think you'll be able to make your own after two months of working in a kiln in town? What a joke! ”

"Get out, people like you just can't see the good of others, get out of here!" Sister-in-law Zhang was in a very bad mood when she saw this scene, and Grandma Sun and Grandma Li still didn't give good words, so she couldn't help but pick up a broom and go to the gate to pick up people.

The crowd dispersed, and it was dark at this time, and they all went home to eat.

The three children, as well as a few helpers, as well as Zhang Zhuzi's brother-in-law, all opened their mouths to comfort, Zhang Zhuzi carefully looked at the notes he had taken, and said, "I don't believe it, I still always fail?" ”

This ready-made buyer is in front of him, how can he give it up?

Is the porcelain kiln in the town because he burned the porcelain? Not at all, they just can't sell because the product.

How could he give up such a good opportunity just because the first porcelain jar burned out? He must complete the task before Ming!

Zhang's sister-in-law made dinner and left her younger brothers to eat here, and Zhang Zhuzi also accompanied her to eat dinner and continued to work.

This night, their family almost did not rest, second, more than 20 porcelain jars have been fired, the shape is beautiful, the glaze is clean.

Zhang Zhuzi rushed into Tong Wu's house with a high heart, "Brother Yang, my family has made a clay pot, you go and have a look, it's very good......"

He danced excitedly, eager to tell the world about his happy mood, Tong Wu and Bichen left home and came to Brother Zhang's house, at this time, many people had gathered at the door of his house.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Li were also there, and the two looked at Tong Wu with their eyes peeled off.
