Chapter 107: You're Like That?
As he spoke, Brother Fang held the cake wrapped in oil paper in front of Lu Fenghe.
Lu Fenghe looked at the heavy cake in front of him, and seemed to understand why there were so many people around.
"Does everyone else just buy one?"
Brother Fang thought about it and shook his head, "No, some Abel bought more than a dozen." ”
"Were they disappointed when they got the bread?"
Brother Fang still shook his head, "No." ”
"It's a lot of money."
"Two dollars for a loaf of bread, five dollars for three loaves."
Lu Fenghe understood that this was to obtain customers by quantity, but at this time, he had no concept of talking about the price with Brother Fang.
"Maybe it's because the bread at this cake stand is very clean, and you won't have abdominal pain when you eat it."
Brother Fang didn't seem to understand, and nodded, "So that's the case." ”
Shen Nanxun chuckled, "You also coax the child." ”
Lu Fenghe was annoyed that he was exposed in front of the child, "Then how do you explain the benefits to him." ”
Shen Nanxun asked Brother Fang to put down the cake, "Let's go, Daddy will take you to the bilge for a turn." ”
Brother Fang shook his head, "No, my mother won't let me go." “
"Your mother won't let you go alone, but it's okay if your father takes you there."
Brother Fang turned his head to look at Lu Fenghe, "Mother, is this the case?" ”
Lu Fenghe nodded, "Yes, it's okay if your father or uncle takes you there." ”
Brother Fang cheered, he had long wanted to know how such a big boat, with no legs and no wheels, could float in the water and still walk.
Lu Fenghe glanced at Shen Nanxun unconvincedly, he wanted to see how Shen Nanxun explained to Brother Fang why so many people bought the featureless cakes.
Shen Nanxun just chuckled, and led Brother Fang out.
At this moment, Lu Fenghe hated that he couldn't go out, and it was more regrettable than not being able to go to the dock that he couldn't see how Shen Nanxun taught his children.
Until the evening eclipse, Lu Fenghe didn't see Shen Nanxun drinking Brother Fen'er again, and he had something in his heart, so Lu Fenghe didn't have much use for the evening food.
The sky was dark, and Brother Fang held his mouth and came to Lu Fenghe with tears on his face.
Lu Fenghe hurriedly stood up, wiped his tears for Brother Fang, but asked Shen Nanxun.
"What's the matter?" After asking, he reprimanded, "Can't you teach slowly, how can you train children." ”
Shen Nanxun felt that he was very wronged, he took Brother Fang for an hour, and he didn't say more than five words to Brother Fang, how could it become him reprimanding the child.
"Brother Fang, tell my mother, what's wrong with you?"
Brother Fang still had a nasal voice, obviously crying, "Mother, they are so miserable, let's give them more wages." ”
The second monk Lu Fenghe was puzzled, "Who?" ”
"The boatmen in the bilge, they work so hard, they stay in the bilge all day in a sullen and sunless bilge, the bilge is still very cold, but they don't have any shirts on half of them, and the oars are so heavy that they can't push them, but they still have to shake fast."
Although the boat on this floor normally walks on the sail, it still needs the bilge boatman to rock the oars when it encounters rapids, avoids the boat, encounters steering, or when the water is against the water and the wind is insufficient.
It turned out that Shen Nanxun took Brother Fang to see the boatman's work, and also, on this ship, the hardest work is probably the boatman, and the salary is also the lowest, and there are people like them at the dock.
"Mother, our cage is so heavy, Brother Fang can't push it, but the shipwright can only get a lot of money by moving goods heavier than our cage, and he can't even afford a cake."
This was to give him a taste of what it would be like to be a dock porter.
"Mother, they work so hard but they can't eat any good food, even the rice is brown rice, and the meat is pitiful, Brother Fang can't eat a bite, maybe they can eat several bowls in a row, and they say that this is a good food."
Indeed, there are also brown rice that are allowed to be eaten, and there are also unkind masters who let the boatmen eat old rice and moldy rice, and as for the meat, it is good to have it, and there are not a few people who let them eat meat in two or three days.
"Mother, let's give them more wages."
Lu Fenghe agrees with Shen Nanxun's method, and he finally feels shallow on paper, so let him see it for himself to experience and feel.
"So Brother Fang now understands why so many people buy the uncharacteristic cake at the pier?"
Brother Fang nodded, "Dad said, because he only needs two big money, and a cake is enough for an adult man to eat, and he only needs to move two boxes of goods." ”
"Why can't you pay more, have you asked your father?"
Brother Fang nodded, "I asked, my father said that our money is here with my mother, and I have the final say for how many mothers we have." ”
Lu Fenghe glanced at Shen Nanxun, and there was no need to say much.
That's how you teach your children? It's better to tell him just like I did because the bread is clean.
"Because if the wages of the shipwrights on our ship go up, will the shipwrights on the other ships be unhappy?" Lu Fenghe is good at it.
Brother Fang nodded, "Then they also rise?" ”
"But not every family has the extra money to give the shipwrights a raise their wages like our family, and we only sail occasionally, and when it rises, it doesn't cost much, and the owners who often run the boat have to pay the shipwrights every day, and if it rises, do they want to have a lot more silver, and are they not happy?"
Brother Fang seems to understand whether he understands or not.
Lu Fenghe also didn't know how to explain it.
"In short, wages can't be raised, but we can let them eat better, how about having meat for a meal?"
Brother Fang clapped his hands, "Okay." ”
"But you'll have to pay for it."
"Huh? Why? Brother Fang doesn't have any money. ”
"Because you want them to eat better, from your previous year's New Year's money."
Brother Fang was a little unhappy, but still nodded, "Okay." ”
Lu Fenghe called Cuizhi in, "You go and see how much money Brother Fen'er has a year." ”
If you want to talk about silver, Brother Fang is really not much, he is still young, the elders are mostly for fresh things, gold, silver and jade, very few are given directly to silver, and they are also given to some gold and silver nudes with fresh signs of auspiciousness, which are mostly hollow, and let the children play with them, which is not valuable.
Sure enough, Cui Zhi came to report, "The sum of gold and silver is only a hundred taels." ”
"Wait for Brother Fang to ask the cook, if all the shipwrights are allowed to have one meat dish per ton, how much silver will be needed a day."
Cuizhi was ordered to wait for Brother Fang'er, the cook had just finished cleaning the kitchen, a few people sat at the stern of the boat to blow the wind, there were many people on the boat, and they had to eat on three stoves, and the people in the kitchen were also hard, from morning to night, almost all stayed in the smoky kitchen.
When I saw Cuizhi coming, I thought that the master was going to add food, but I didn't say anything, but the voice of greeting was somewhat emotional.
"Brother, you have to ask yourself at this time." Cuizhi got Lu Fenghe's letter and reminded Brother Fang to ask herself.
Brother Fang is not very conceptual, he is just facing a stranger with a big waist and a round waist.
"Please...... Excuse me, if so...... Let the boatman every meal... There are meat dishes, and how much silver is needed a day. ”
Cui Zhi added, "How much? ”
