Volume 1 The Mortal Realm Chapter 5 A Paper Paper
The head of the Zuo family is named Zuo Xin, fifty-six years old this year, his father died early, he has been in charge of the family since he was a child, and he has been taking care of the Zuo family for more than 40 years. He is involved in various industries, and he is also full of financial luck and earns money in everything. Earn more or less, but never lose money. The Zuo family is making money every day, and I don't know how much stronger it is than its predecessors.
The head of the house saw the foreman walk in with Lear, and hurriedly got up to greet him, Lear lowered his head, he rarely saw the head of the house, even if he saw it, he looked at each other from afar, and the first time he came to see the head of the house, it was in the hospitality hall of the left house, and the momentum was a little bit majestic. Naturally, I was a little confused. The foreman said, "Master, this is Lear, I brought him here." Lear hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Lear, carpenter, meets the master of the house." "Lear went to Zuo's house to learn carpentry, and has been doing carpentry work, but Lear, who calls himself a carpenter, is not bad. Zuo Xin said with a gentle smile on his face, "Lear is here." "Give the seat, serve the tea. Lear sat down beside him, the servant brought a cup of hot tea, and Zuo Xin said to the foreman, "Stand down." The foreman bowed and retired. Seeing Lear bowing his head and being silent, the head of the house looked very embarrassed and cowardly, and began to chat with Lear. "You're Lear?" "Yes, sir. "You don't have to be so reserved, how old are you this year?" 31 years old. "Is there a wife and a child at home?" "There is a good wife at home, with a daughter and a son." "How are your parents?" My parents died young, and I was displaced from other places and had no other family members left. ”
Zuo Xin saw that he talked a lot, and he didn't seem so restrained, so he got to the point: "I called you, I guess you also know what is going on?" "Yes, what are your plans?" "I don't have any plans... Lear was honest and honest, but he didn't dare to talk to the head of the Zuo family about his imagination, so he kept an eye on it, after all, he didn't know what the head of the Zuo family thought and what his heart was. The head of the Zuo family then said: "I'm going to buy your car-building method, okay?" Lear listened, and was speechless for a moment, but did not speak. Zuo Xin is so smart, of course he knows that he is reluctant. Then he changed his words and said: "This car is also your good fortune, if I take it, I may not be able to afford it, so let's do it, your car sells for a thousand, I know, the head of the Kou family bought the car and sent it to me." ”
It turned out that the head of the Kou family bought this car with blood, and he didn't have any good intentions, and the eldest girl of the Kou family let people spread the word a few days ago, saying that the relationship between the Tang family and Zhou Guo has been very stiff recently, so that the Kou family will make less trouble. In addition, no one in this car may not be able to cause trouble, so Master Kou let Lear go. But he thought of a way to kill people with a knife, and sent the car to please Zuo Xin, which was unexpected, but it was also reasonable, it was also painful for the Kou family to come up with a thousand taels of silver, the Zuo family was much stronger than him, and he had nothing to say about his attachment to the Zuo family. Zuo Xin is a scene person, presumably the head of the Kou family also took money from Zuo Xin this time, and maybe made a lot of money. But the head of the Kou family may not be in it for money, and he probably didn't have any good intentions, Lear thought.
Zuo Xin continued: "I also found someone to disassemble this car, the core is a machine spring inside, but no one made it, although the other structures are also exquisite, but I have made them, I will make all the materials in the future, you only make the core machine spring, I will build the car, so the output is high, your machine spring I will give you a thousand taels of silver each, how about it?" Lear listened a little incredulously, and nodded hurriedly. The head of the Zuo family continued: "But we must have an agreement to guarantee that your machine spring can only be sold to me." My industry is spread all over this half of the country, and I can guarantee that I will sell you a car, as long as you make it, I will not worry about sales, and your income will be high. Okay?"
Lear also felt that it made sense, he couldn't build a car in a month, but he could build several springs in a day. It is 5,000 taels to make five springs a day, 152,000 taels a month, 1,800,000 taels a year, 1,800,000 taels, which is an astronomical amount for me Lear. Lear was very happy, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the great grace of the head of the family, I, Lear, should do my best, the head of the family is lenient and generous, I will work for the Zuo family until the day I die, and I will not serve the second master." ”
Lear is honest but not stupid, and if he were another family, wouldn't he have forcibly robbed him of the spring blueprints. He has a wife and a young family, how dare he offend such a family.
So I didn't slow down the head of the Zuo family, and hurriedly asked the master to draft the documents and sign them, for fear that Lear would regret it. Although the owner of this family is a person who has experienced big waves, he has never done such a big business, and he is also a little panicked at this time. After signing the paperwork, the head of the family left Lear for lunch, and Lear had no heart to eat, so he was in a hurry to go home and report the good news to his wife. The head of the house can see that he is like an ant in a hot pot, although he has never eaten a table of good dishes, he has no appetite, he ate a few bites hastily, got up and said goodbye with a few polite words, and the head of the house did not blame, he smiled and said, "In the future, you will be called the head of the Li family, and you don't have to come to the car shop to work, concentrate on making machine springs at home, and talk to the housekeeper with money and materials." Lear said, "Thank you for your watch, I'll go back and hand over the drawings to the housekeeper, and arrange for the car dealer to build the car." With that, he got up and bowed, and got up to take his leave.
Lear hurried home, and before leaving, the head of the house did not forget to instruct the butler and gave Lear a good horse.
When Lear got home, he bolted his horse, and when he entered the door, he shouted: "Lan'er, Lan'er..."
Xinlan didn't know what was going on, and when she saw her husband shouting in a hurry, she ran out quickly and asked, "What's the matter with your husband?" Lear was busy: "Good thing, good thing!"
"Lan'er, our car has cooperated with the Zuo family, and we will be developed in the future. "Xinlan is very smart, so she roughly understands. Lear continued: "Take out his drawings, and I'll send them to the Zuo family." ”
Xinlan also said more, went into the room and took out the drawings, and gave it to Lear: "You have been established for a long time, you can't always be just like a child, you have to have a little bit of the city, you can't be so flamboyant and excited." When Lear heard this, he also sank down. After receiving the drawings, his wife said, "I went to send the drawings, and I'll talk to you about them later." "I went out, got on the horse, and gave the Zuo family the picture and the horse.
Lear came home and chatted with his wife. The wife did not want to ruin her husband's interest, and listened to him all afternoon, occasionally interjecting a few calming words. In the evening, I fried a few side dishes, scalded a pot of wine, and celebrated a little. The children didn't know what was going on, but they were very happy to see their parents, and they were much happier. The table was full of delicious food, and the two babies devoured it.
The husband and wife were happy to see the babies eating, and they were happy, the daughter sat in her father's arms and sprinkled coquettishly, and the son pointed to this and that, and asked his mother to pick up the vegetables.
And I don't know: the flat ground is turbulent, the extremes of things must be reversed, happiness is full of sorrow, and blessings and disasters are accompanied.
