Chapter 149

"Really? That's great! What do you say about moving the dean? Shen Zaishi asked happily, leaning forward, staring straight at Shen Zhixin with his eyes.

Shen Zhixin took a sip of tea before he said slowly: "That day, the third uncle took two bookcases to the county school to find me, and he happened to meet the dean at the gate, and he was also very interested in seeing this bookbox, saying that his son-in-law often complained that it was very inconvenient to carry a basket in class every day, and this bookbox was delicate and convenient and suitable for students to use. So I borrowed flowers and offered the Buddha one of the best ones to the dean. The next day, I heard that the dean brought a bookcase to find the county official, and when he came back, he found me and proposed to buy our bookcase in bulk. I proposed to the dean that every new student be equipped with a bookcase, and the dean promised to think about it, but before I came back, the dean made a special trip to me to talk about it, and the matter was settled! ”

"Then is this money from the public or out of your own pocket?" Shen Zhilei asked.

Shen Zaishi shook his head lightly, "I must have paid out of my own pocket, this bookcase costs two taels of silver to say the least, not everyone can afford it!" ”

"That's true, that's right, I discussed with the dean, the bookbox is divided into three grades, the best ones sell for five taels, the second ones sell for three taels, and there is one for the third uncle to make with leftovers, which doesn't need to be too good-looking and exquisite, as long as it is strong and durable, so it is sold to those students from poor families, and one only costs five hundred yuan!"

"I'm afraid five hundred wen is only enough for the cost of wood, but the other two are sold at a higher price, and they can make up for one or two!" Shen Zaishi nodded and said, "This method is very good!" After you finish eating the evening food later, go to your third uncle's house and talk to him about it, if you want to make a large number of bookcases, I'm afraid he can't do it alone, you need to find a few more helpers! ”

"I'm planning to go to my third uncle's house in a while! I want to see if he can squeeze out some time to make a bookcase for the son of the county official's old man! ”

"When are you leaving for Bianjing?" Shen Zaishi asked Shen Zhixin.

"If nothing happens, I plan to leave for Bianjing early the day after tomorrow. A few of my classmates had already arrived there before me, and I asked them to book a room for me at the inn! ”

"Yun Niang made a lot of pastries this time, the eldest brother brought them over, you can share some for your classmates to eat, by the way, there is also meat sauce, and I also used a small jar to fill three or four!" Shen Zhilei reminded Shen Zhixin.

"It's really hard brother and sister, you help me thank her well! She has to take care of a large family by herself, and she has to take the time to prepare these things for me, which really makes me a little unhappy! ”

"What kind words did the eldest brother say, his own family, what is this?" Shen Zhilei waved his hand and said that he didn't care, but he was very proud in his heart. Your own daughter-in-law is good!

Shen Zhixin thought for a while and proposed to Shen Zaishi: "Father, I think our family needs to buy one or two subordinates now!" It's not okay to have only one brother and sister at home, not to mention the heavy housework, even if only she and Xiaoxi are usually left at home, it's not safe! ”

"I also have such thoughts, but it is not good to act before you are lifted, for fear that people will say that our family is arrogant! And I'm afraid that the second and third rooms will think too much! ”

Shen Zhixin sighed and said, "Then let's wait for the results of Qiu Yu to come out!" It's going to be a few more days of hard work for my brother and sister! ”

"It's nothing, it's just more than half a day, it's not bad for a few days!" Shen Zhilei said with a smile.

Shen Zaishi hesitated for a moment and said, "Da Lang, do you want to visit your uncle when you go to Bianjing City this time?" ”

Shen Zhixin's face changed, and he pondered for a moment and said, "I was going to come to see him, but I was afraid that he still wouldn't see me!" ”

Shen Zaishi was silent, he regretted that he couldn't be tough at the beginning and refused to allow Xiao Cui to join the Shen family.
