Chapter 116: What Is Your Relationship With My Mother?
During Xi Dazhuang's absence, Wang Dahu, as a supervisor, paid 20 yuan more than others every day, and he worked very seriously and strictly controlled the quality of each green tile.
Xi Dazhuang told him before he left that as long as he took good care of the tile kiln, controlled the quality, and helped his sister-in-law when she needed it, he would give him an extra reward.
Wang Dahu knew that Xi Dazhuang did what he said, he was not a stingy person, as long as he did a good job, he would be indispensable.
"Sister-in-law, you're here!"
Today is the day when the green tiles are sold, and before dawn, Wang Dahu took his brothers to the tile kiln and waited.
As soon as he saw Chixi, he happily greeted him: "Sister-in-law, we have prepared the green tiles, there are 30,000 pieces!" In less than three days, it will be sold out! ”
He is very confident in his strict control of the green tiles he has fired.
Chixi told them two days ago that as long as they work hard, as long as they sell ten green tiles in the future, they will have a commission of a penny.
If you sell 30,000 pieces of green tiles, then you will have a commission of three taels of silver, even if more than 30 brothers divide it, one person can get nearly 100 yuan!
That's not a small amount!
They burned tiles on the tile kiln, which was hard work, and the Xi family was more generous than other owners, and gave each of them a salary of 20 wen a day.
If this commission can be shared by one person for nearly 100 yuan, it is something that they can earn after working hard for several days!
When the brothers learned the good news, they were so happy that they came to the tile kiln early this morning to guard it.
"Good work."
Chi Xi smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the people who followed her up the mountain, and waved her hand with a smile: "I have written down the names of the people who have booked the green tiles here, you don't have to be impatient, the one whose name I call will come forward, pay the money to me, and then go with the workers on our tile kiln to get the tiles." I solemnly promise here that as long as the green tiles are purchased from me, any non-man-made and non-natural quality problems within three years can be brought to me for a new one! ”
As soon as Chi Xi's words came out, the people who were already passionate and felt that they had taken advantage of it were even more excited, and shouted happily one by one: "Okay, Chi Xi, you said this, we have all written it down, and we are not allowed to play tricks when the time comes!" ”
"I said this, you all heard it clearly, I opened the door to do business, and what I pay attention to is honesty and trustworthiness! Many of you don't buy anything from me for the first time, you should know who I am! ”
Chi Xi was right.
Many of the people who came to buy green tiles today had bought chickens, ducks and goose seedlings for her before.
No matter what the problem is, when she comes back to her, she admits it and never perfunctory.
This made everyone trust her even more.
Under Wang Dahu's arrangement, everyone lined up in an orderly manner, paid the balance at Chixi one by one, pressed their handprints on the vouchers specially prepared for them, and were taken to count the tiles.
After they got the green tiles, they checked the green tiles in their hands, all of them were hard and strong, and they were reluctant to use their tiles to knock on them to try the quality.
Wang Dahu casually took a piece from the pile of tiles and handed it to them, smiling confidently: "If you want to try the quality, you can try it casually, and if you are satisfied, you will take it away, if you are not satisfied, my sister-in-law will immediately refund the money to you, and there is no ambiguity!" ”
One of them took the tile, picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it on it, and the tile was dug up with a little crumb, but it never broke.
"Good, good, this quality is really good! I have a relative in Wangjiazhai to buy the green tile, fifteen wen not to say, a light knock on the break, today we bought only twelve wen, the quality is so good! ”
Someone spoke passionately: "Not only that, Mrs. Xi also gave us a lot of chickens, ducks and goose eggs, and this green tile will be replaced if there is a problem within three years!" Where can such good things be found? Brothers, don't hesitate any longer, quickly take out the silver and buy green tiles! Otherwise, after this village, there will be no such shop! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed them, and they all felt that they had taken a big advantage!
Not to mention three days.
Within a day, 30,000 pieces of green tiles were snatched up.
Chixi and the others looked at the empty tile kiln, and their hearts were happy.
Wang Dahu was even more happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't wait to pull the root behind his ears, and he was overjoyed: "Sister-in-law, the green tiles we fired are selling really well, and it is not in vain that the brothers work hard every day." But business is so good, are we going to be too busy? ”
"It's okay, you just hurry up!"
After having a commission, without the urging of Chixi, Wang Dahu and others came to the tile kiln before dawn every day, and they were reluctant to go back to rest when it was dark, and they were full of energy!
Wang Dahu said happily: "Sister-in-law, there are many of us, and our techniques are becoming more and more skilled, the brothers have calculated that at least 10,000 tiles can be fired in a day!" If business can be so good every day, wouldn't we soon be able to build a stone and green tile house and marry a daughter-in-law? ”
Most of them have no families and come to Dahe Village from nothing, relying on the Xi family to have the enviable job they have now.
But after all, it's under the fence.
Most of them were men in their twenties and thirties, and some of them were in their forties.
Who doesn't want to have a house of their own, marry a daughter-in-law who knows the cold and the hot, and have a few more babies to live in peace?
Chi Xi silently calculated that if he sold 30,000 pieces of green tiles today, he would have an income of more than 300 taels of silver.
If Wang Dahu and others burn 10,000 pieces a day in the future and sell them, she will be able to earn more than 100 taels of silver a day!
Thinking like this, Chi Xi was full of energy, she raised her eyes and swept a pair of bright eyes full of hope, nodded with a smile: "Yes, what you think is right, you have all worked hard today." According to what I promised before, as long as you sell ten tiles, you will get a commission of one penny, and if you sell 30,000 green tiles today, the commission will be three taels of silver, and there are thirty-seven of you, and I will give you eighty-one pennies each, how about it? ”
"Eighty-one Wen?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and then they laughed: "Thank you sister-in-law, we will definitely work hard in the future!" ”
Thirty thousand tiles were sold, and they had eighty-one pennies each.
If they burned 10,000 pieces of green tiles a day and sold them all, wouldn't they be able to get a commission of 27 yuan a day?
This is an income more than their wages, so if they work harder, the income of fifty yuan a day is not a dream!
In these years, those who get up early and go out to work hard can earn 15 yuan a day, but they can get 50 yuan!
Fifty Wen!
Where to find such a good thing!
They are all excited, and they have already made up their minds to follow the Xi family to do a good job in this life!
After Chi Xi counted the silver money to everyone one by one, he took Tian Cuihe home.
Tian Cuihe saw that Chixi's spirit had improved a lot in the past few days, and today he was even more smiling, and he was a little relieved, and as soon as he got home, he said: "Xiaoxi, you are tired enough today, go rest for a while, I'll cook!" ”
Chixi didn't feel tired, but full of strength, she followed Tian Cuihe into the kitchen, and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, it takes a long time to work alone, I cook with my mother." You've been helping me collect my debts today, and I'm tired. ”
Tian Cuihe saw that Chixi was so caring and capable, he should be warm, and nodded with a smile: "Mother is not tired, if you are tired, you will rest, but you are not allowed to be strong." ”
"Mother, I still have a child in my belly! I know it. ”
Chi Kei smiled and lit the firewood and put it into the stove hole.
Because Xi Dazhuang was not worried about their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he not only took a few wild wolves from the mountain and tamed them to take care of their homes, but also arranged for Wang Dahu and others to take turns to guard the front and back of their houses every night to protect them.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ate and fed the wolves before washing and sleeping.
Lying on the bed, the mood of joy all day seems to be like the tide is quickly receding, only the emptiness of the room makes Chixi a little uncomfortable.
She raised her hand and gently stroked her flat lower abdomen, and let out a long sigh slowly.
If she had known that she was pregnant a few days earlier, she should have told her husband the good news, so that she would know that the people who were waiting for him to come back at home were not only his mother and her, but also their unborn child.
The melancholy is only temporary.
The next morning, when Chixi got up and walked out of the door, it was Mrs. Xi who was smiling and happily leading everyone to feed the chickens, ducks and geese.
Their family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone starts calling her Mrs. Xi, and Chixi corrects it a few times, but after it doesn't work, he goes with them.
