When I came to the hall, I saw several exquisite jade objects on the Bogu shelf.

Jia Lu first picked up a jade Ruyi and looked at it, and sure enough, both in carving and the use of the color of the jade material itself were much better than those of the apprentice.

After looking at a few slightly larger ornaments, Jia Lu took Ruyi and asked, "I don't know how long it will take for the master to make such a Ruyi?" How much does it cost? ”

Gu Sanqi replied: "If you bring materials to process, why will it take ten days of hard work, two taels of silver!" ”

Jia Lu nodded and said, "This price is fair." If it were carved in stone, wouldn't it be faster than this? ”

Gu Sanqi couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he heard Jia Lu talk about carving in stone again, but he still said: "What Gongzi said is not bad, the so-called strongest is jade, and jade is indeed harder than ordinary stone." ”

"That's it, I also respect craftsmen, so I'll use the stone you have here to make five ruyi for me first. I will give you two taels of silver.

Saying that, Jia Lu took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms, thought about it and said:

"Make me ten taels, these ten taels of silver are fixed money, and I will pay ten taels when I am ready."

But you'll have to speed up a bit, and I'll be impatient to wait for one for ten days, and you'll not make any money.

As for me, I suggest that you recruit more apprentices to come over, just like breaking stones and cutting rough shapes, you can leave the manual work with no technical content to the apprentices, you only do those surprises and ask for skills.

In the future, if there is anything else, it will probably be my nephew who will settle with you, and you will do whatever he tells you to do.

Remember, if you want to make more money, you need to be more efficient, and of course, you have to ensure quality.

That's all I have to say, Brother Qiang, let's go. ”

said that he took Jia Qiang away, leaving the master and apprentice with a confused face.

Jia Qiang said excitedly: "Third uncle, you are really ...... It's so imposing! That old master was so stunned by you that he didn't know what to say. ”

Jia Lu smiled: "Am I bluffing? I just don't want to waste too much time with him.

Brother Qiang, take the stones with him in the future, and then wash the stones, these things will be left to you to do.

Do you think it's appropriate for us to divide the money we make in the future? ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, she smiled and said, "What did the third uncle ask his nephew about this?" This method is your own, and the buyers and sellers are all found by the third uncle, I am just helping the third uncle do some chores and run errands, if the third uncle makes money, just reward a few nephews.

When I escaped from Ningguo Mansion, if it wasn't for the help of the third uncle, I wouldn't know what to do. ”

Jia Lu said with a straight face: "It's not for anything else to help you, you also helped me talk when I entered the righteous school, this kind of thing should not be related to interests."

Now that I'm going to do business, my brother still has to settle accounts, it's better to make these things clear first, you say, how much do you want. ”

Jia Qiang said: "I know, what I said just now is true." Although the third uncle is young, I know that the third uncle will definitely have a great future in the future, and now I only follow the third uncle to work hard, and in the future, when the third uncle is prosperous, I will pull and pull me, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than asking for some small profits now? ”

Jia Lu was stunned for a moment, looked at Jia Qiang for a while and smiled: "Okay, it turns out that you are thinking of casting a long line to catch a big fish!"

According to you, if I don't make a name for myself in the future, won't I be very sorry for you? ”

Jia Qiang hurriedly shook her head with a smile and said, "The third uncle's words have tormented my nephew!" ”

Jia Lu beckoned: "Let's go, let's go buy those things, and by the way, go see Jia Yun again and tell him about it." ”

The uncle and nephew came to Jia Yun's house under the west corridor and talked about their thoughts with the mother and son.

The two mothers heard that they could make money by looking at a few crockpots at home, where were they not happy? Hurriedly agreed.

When he returned to Rongguo Mansion, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and when he saw Jia Lu coming back, Ping'er hurriedly stepped forward to take the package in Jia Lu's hand, and Qingwen took a wet towel to wipe his hands and face.

"Where did the third master go today? Why didn't you come back to write? ”

Jia Lu said: "There are some things outside that have been delayed. What's going on at home? ”

Ping'er said: "If you don't even have a ghost in a day, what's the matter?" Has the third master eaten? ”

Jia Lu said: "I've eaten with people outside, what's the matter, you two won't have eaten yet, right?" ”

"If you don't eat it, where is the reason why we eat first?"

Jia Lu couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "That's it, I forgot to tell you, you don't have to wait for me to eat in the future, I may not come back to eat if there is something outside, aren't you hungry in vain?"

It's all this hour, so don't let the kitchen be busy. The cooks in the kitchen of the East Road Courtyard are all dog-eyed and low-looking.

I just bought a pack of Ba Mei Zhai's pancakes and rosewood cakes, so you two will eat a bite. ”

Seeing Qingwen pouting and looking unhappy, Jia Lu couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter, you feel wronged for letting you eat snacks, don't you?" You taste the delicious first, these two snacks are famous in his family. ”

Ping'er smiled: "It's not because of this. This girl knew that you were going to write when you came back, so she counted the time and inked the ink, who knew that the third master didn't come back, isn't this a busy job in vain? I'm mad at you. ”

Qingwen hurriedly said: "Sister Ping'er, don't make fun of me, where do I dare to be angry with the third master?" ”

Jia Lu smiled and said: "It turned out to be because of this, but it was not mine, and I didn't tell you if I didn't come back." So, you eat a snack first, and I'll write, and I won't sleep until I run out of ink, okay? ”

As he spoke, he opened the package, first took two pieces of cake and stuffed them into their mouths, and sure enough, he took a pen and wrote under the lamp.

Qingwen was a little embarrassed, and said, "The third master is dark, so it's okay if you don't write." ”

Jia Lu said: "It's better to finish writing." This handwriting has to be practiced every day, but it's a pity that I've been practicing this character for so long, and I can't write any charm. Hey, are you two literate? ”

Both shook their heads.

Jia Lu asked again, "Do you want to learn?" I'll teach you if you want to learn. You don't have to learn more, you can learn to write five words a day, and you will be able to read books in a year. ”

Ping'er smiled and waved her hand: "That's it, what are we two girls doing when we learn this?" ”

Jia Lu said: "Why is it useless? Look at Lian's second sister-in-law, if you suffer a loss, you will suffer from illiteracy.

If she can read the account books and records herself, will she still have a Caiming by her side every day? ”

Ping'er said: "The second grandmother is a housekeeper grandmother, so naturally I have to know the accounts, and I don't have to take care of things, what do I do when I learn that?" ”
