Chapter 61: Ingenuity
"Forget it, you don't understand, as long as you know, if this thing is done, it may bring me a lot of money." Lin Huiru smiled happily, and the cup in front of him had already supported a cup of tea.
Cuiyu nodded ignorantly, as long as Lin Hui is good, she is happy, "Then I wish Sister Lin that your new business will also be prosperous." β
"To borrow your auspicious words, it should be very hard to support a few children with 400 wen a month, right?" Lin Huiru suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked.
Cuiyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved her hand, "No, Aunt Zou still has a small vegetable garden at home, they help take care of it, and it doesn't cost much for a month on food and clothing." β
"I remember that they are as big as you, and they have a job for them, I wonder if they are interested?" Lin Huiru pointed to the paper cup in front of him.
Of course she was happy to have something to do with Cuiyu, she hurriedly nodded, "Sister Lin, you said, we will try our best to help if there is anything." β
"This cup, I ordered the paper, and I plan to find some people with good craftsmanship to make it, this bottom and this side are glued, twenty is a penny, how about it?" Lin Huiru took the waste paper for the experiment and hastily demonstrated it to Cuiyu.
"Absolutely! It's just that the price is too high, I think thirty pennies are fine..."Jade was still immersed in the flattery of Lin Huiru giving her double the silver coin, and couldn't help but lower the price a little.
Lin Huiru smiled helplessly, "I'm already employing child labor, and if I lower the price, won't I be Huang Shiren." β
"Who is Huang Shiren?" Jade was puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's just a landlord who oppresses people, I thought about it, they are all at the age when they should go to school, why don't I give a bundle for one person, and then teach other children when he is out of school." Lin Huiru diverted the topic and asked.
"This doesn't have to worry about Sister Lin, I will definitely be able to produce a student by myself with my salary!" Cuiyu clenched her fists, her eyes revealing firmness, "And I've already charged Sister Lin an extra monthly money for you, how can I restrain myself again." β
Lin Huiru waved his hand, "Don't worry, one yard is one yard, I think the children I saw that day are smart and clever, if I learn to become an official, won't I also soar?"
She said it in a joking tone, but Jade was faintly moved, and she quickly made a calculation in her heart. If she saves 250 wen a month, it will be 500 wen in two months, one tael of silver in four months, and three taels in a year...
Five years! It would take five years for her to pay it back!
But the second child in the family is very smart, he can write a few words by stealing, and he will also eavesdrop on the back of the book catchy, if five years have passed... I'm afraid I'll miss the best time.
But she has received too much favor from Lin Huiru, and she is afraid that she will not be able to pay it off even if she is a cow or a horse.
When he was struggling, Lin Huiru said, "Okay, don't shirk it, it's also my heart." β
"Thank you, Sister Lin! Thank you, Sister Lin!" Cuiyu burst into tears of excitement, and kowtowed to Lin Huiru as soon as she knelt on the ground, "In this way, you don't need to give me two salaries, we only spend more than 100 yuan a month, and we don't need that much." β
"Take it first, and then you can pay me back when you can't spend it and have the leftovers." Lin Huiru was too lazy to care about these, after all, she had also become a person with a few dollars in her pocket.
As soon as Cuiyu stood up from the ground, Zhao Xing walked in with the foreman he had found.
"Sister Lin, you are busy first, and I will go out to work first." Cuiyu was overjoyed to get another favor, and after going out, she couldn't wait to clean the hot pot shop up and down.
"The owner, this is Foreman Zhang, who usually takes people to do some handiwork." Zhao Xing made way for Cuiyu to open the door, and then introduced.
Lin Huiru looked at this foreman Zhang, who was an ordinary middle-aged man, wearing coarse linen clothes, and thick calluses on his hands, judging by the location, he should be a carpenter.
"Foreman Zhang, sit down." Lin Huiru got up and poured a cup of tea, and didn't hide it, "Foreman Zhang, they are all cheerful people, I need to customize some things, but these things are extremely simple, so the price may not be so high." β
This foreman not only looked unsmiling on the surface, but in fact he didn't talk much, he took a sip of tea, and seemed to be a little unhappy, "This owner, what do you want to do, just give a price to the appearance." β
Lin Huiru sighed in her heart that this person was straighter than her, and then denied this idea of cooperation, "It's just to make this kind of thing, just cut the cardboard and stick it with the bottom, the price I give is twenty pennies, no bargaining." With that, she picked up the paper cup and handed it to Foreman Zhang.
"Twenty is just one penny?" Foreman Zhang's eyes showed contempt.
"This thing is not difficult, I don't know how much more Foreman Zhang wants?" Lin Huiru narrowed his eyes.
"Ten pennies." Foreman Zhang put the things on the table and asked for a price.
"Forget it, please go on this trip, this job is not suitable for us to cooperate." Lin Huiru waved his hand, and Foreman Zhang didn't stay long, and got up and walked out directly.
Zhao Xing was very embarrassed when he saw this scene, and said with a sad face, "The owner, Foreman Zhang is a well-known craftsman in the town, you have run him away..."
"It's just a small cup, it's embarrassing for the lion to open his mouth, this thing is very simple, if it's not for me to be lazy, I'll make it myself." Lin Huiru rolled his eyes, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
She thought of something that would benefit others and herself, so she clapped her hands and took out the paper and pen, wrote a few lines of words and handed them to Zhao Xing, "Go get some paste again, and paste this outside." β
"Is this...?" Zhao Xing looked at the contents of the paper suspiciously, and couldn't help but light up.
Lin Huiru wrote that he was looking for short-term workers, aged 14 to 35, who came to work in the store, and the wages were paid daily, and the manual work was priced by the piece.
Although this string of words cannot be connected together, each condition is very attractive.
She officially grasped the rare idea of women's work in this era, but if she is not stupid and has no disability, how can she make it for sixty dollars in an hour and earn six cents.
In this era, for women who have nothing to do, Liuwen is already a lot of money.
"Don't look at it, go out and post it, the faΓ§ade is almost finished, by the way, I'm helping me find two long-term workers, the younger ones, the more delicate ones, and the ones that look good when they stand outside to sell milk tea." Lin Huiru urged.
Zhao Xing nodded, and after a while when he went out, he was surrounded by guests, and there were many people who were eager to try.
"When I was young, I embroidered things for big families, and then I quit my job to give birth, and this craft is not bad back then." A middle-aged woman said and handed Lin Huiru a handkerchief, on which there was an extremely delicate flower.
