Reborn Craftsman

Liu Xing returned to the wonton shop. After taking his younger siblings to have breakfast, Liu Xing did not stay idle. Instead, he cleaned up the wonton shop and threw away some unnecessary things.

More than three hours passed in a short time.

Liu Xing knew that Boss Lu's packed things were about to be transported, so he took his younger siblings and headed for his own greenhouse.

Unexpectedly, the villagers who carried things not only brought all the packed things, but also built the roof of the greenhouse with canvas. At this time, they sat aside to rest, and said nothing to their father. Joke.

Liu Xing looked curious, and even asked Zhu Meiling, his mother who was weaving the dustpan: "Why haven't these villagers left yet?"

"They are waiting for you!" Mother Zhu Meiling said with a smile.

"Wait for me?" Liu Xing was confused.

"It's like this. Your father wants to speed up the production of dustpans, so he wants to hire more people. The villagers who are helping have heard that they want their daughters-in-law to come to work. Your father has no objection, but I'm afraid you don't agree! "The mother said the reason for it.

There is no way, the cost of setting up the site and buying the raw materials of Nanzhu has made the family run out of money. If we don't speed up the production of dustpans and get the funds back quickly, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive.

"What can I disagree with?" Liu Xing didn't think of this, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "But if you hire someone to do it, I'm afraid the quality won't keep up."

"Don't worry, the daughters-in-law of these villagers all have the craftsmanship of weaving bamboo strip products, and they are all from your grandfather's area!" Mother Zhu Meiling looked up and said seriously.

"What? It's a bit far to come here every day to do things?" Liu Xing was taken aback.

"I can't help it! It's not easy for farmers to make money now, but it's like drinking water with your extraordinary talent!" Mother Zhu Meiling gave Liu Xing a blank look, and then smiled dotingly.

These words were obviously a compliment to Liu Xing, although it was a bit exaggerated, but Liu Xing was very useful, he smiled lightly: "Mom! Don't say good things for your natal family, don't you just let a few people come here to do things? Can I promise it? But the ugly words are up front, we must ensure the quality and quantity, and we must explain to them that our order is only [-] dustpans, so we can’t blame us if we have nothing to do.”

"No, why are you afraid of wolves and tigers like your father!" Mother Zhu Meiling couldn't help but said.

Liu Xing pursed his lips. He didn't want to say more. He saw the plane planer and the log sawing machine placed in the corner of the shed by the window, so he hurried over and began to clean the rust on them.

Seeing this, Little Peanut and Liu Hang quickly picked up emery cloth to help.

Zhu Meiling looked at and shook her head, got up and told the waiting villagers about part-time jobs.

Chapter 037 The Business Is Coming

The hunchbacked villager with the head saw Zhu Meiling coming, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "How is it? Has your son agreed?"

"I agreed, but the salary can only be three yuan a day, not four yuan a day like my fourth uncle. After all, he is a man and takes care of lunch. If you think you can call them to work tomorrow!" Zhu Meiling pondered for a while , stating the conditions.

Although it is my natal family, I can't get used to it. There are some things that must be made clear.

"Good! Good! Good!" The hunchbacked villagers nodded happily: "I don't know how many people are needed!"

"Didn't you say before that the daughters-in-law of five of you would know how to be a bamboo craftsman? Let's start with the five of you! If there are too many people, it won't work. I'll say it first, no beginners are needed!" Zhu Meiling urged .

"Understood, understood!" The hunchbacked villager even turned around and went to discuss with other villagers. After reaching a conclusion, they all left, and promised that all five of their wives would come to gather at the gate of the shed before seven o'clock tomorrow.

Zhu Meiling watched these natal families go away, and was about to continue weaving the dustpan, when a black-faced strong man walked in with a cattail fan.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Meiling casually asked the black-faced burly man.

"I heard from Lao Zhong that your place is a processing factory for bamboo products. Can you make baskets? The kind of green bamboo?" The black-faced burly man glanced at the environment in the greenhouse, and he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Green bamboo baskets?" Zhu Meiling turned her head to look in Liu Xing's direction in a daze, "Son, don't fiddle with your scrap metal. If there is a business coming, come and negotiate the price."

"Oh...here we come!" Liu Xing wiped his hands, and ran up to the black-faced burly man.

"Are you the boss here?" The black-faced man looked at Liu Xing and asked in surprise.

"Almost!" Liu Xing smiled, revealing a mouthful of neat and white teeth.

"I really can't see it!" The black-faced burly man followed suit with a smile, and he moved a chair and sat down: "That's right, I am the owner of a grocery store in this market, my surname is Xue, and I am expensive. It’s almost time to harvest the late rice, but the baskets in the store have been out of stock, so I want you to process some, so that I can show off.”

Baskets are used in many other places besides storing rice in rural areas. They are a bamboo product that is more popular than dustpans. However, because the workmanship is complicated and the price is too low, not many bamboo craftsmen are willing to make it. It has become the current situation.

Liu Xing is a reborn person, so he knew the inside story. After thinking about it, he replied, "Boss Xue, look, I'm rushing to make dustpans right now! I'm afraid I don't have much time to make dustpans!"

"I know, and I also know that you are making a dustpan for Mrs. Zhang of the soya bean shop. I don't need this basket right now, as long as you agree, the price is right!" Boss Xue showed his sincerity with a silly smile.

"Then how much for a pair of bamboo baskets?" Liu Xing frowned.

Although he is a reborn person, he really can't remember the price of Luokung in 93.

Boss Xue would definitely be unhappy if he shouted too loudly.

If the shout is low, no one is willing to do things that don't make money.

"Six yuan for a pair of bamboo bamboo baskets, is the price fair?" Boss Xue quoted the price without hesitation.

In fact, he used to pay five yuan for a pair of bamboo baskets in the hands of the bamboo strip maker. Now he was afraid that because of the low price, he would not be able to do business with Liu Xing, so he raised it by one yuan.

Anyway, in a word, as long as the baskets came to his grocery store, he had the final say on the price. As long as the quality was good, he sold even ten yuan a pair of contemptuous baskets, and they were very popular.

The bamboo products in the market that Zhang Xiaoying's family is interested in are the one in front of him, and the only one, so he is not afraid of spending money, but he is afraid that Liu Xing's price will be too low.

Sure enough, Liu Xing shook his head: "Boss Xue, do you know how much I sell for a dustpan now?"

"Yes, two yuan!" Boss Xue replied with a sneer.

"Do you know how long it takes to make a dustpan? It takes less than an hour, but it takes three to four hours to make a single basket. This is still in the case of skilled hands, that is to say, the wages for a pair of baskets and the consumption of tools and materials. It only costs five yuan, isn't the price of six yuan you gave a bit too low?" Liu Xing said with a smile on his face.

"Well...then how much do you think a pair of bamboo bamboo baskets cost?" Boss Xue scratched his head in embarrassment when he saw that Liu Xing's words were telling the truth.

"Let's do this! My lowest price is eight yuan for a pair of baskets. If you think it's okay, wait until I have time. Of course, if you can't wait, you can also find other master bamboo craftsmen. This business is open to everyone." It can be done!" Liu Xing thought for a while and replied.

He will open the breakfast shop in a few days, and he may not have time to eat when he gets busy, so it's better to push away the business.

Of course, a pair of bamboo baskets cost eight yuan. If Boss Xue really wants to do it, then he can do it if he can't do it.

After all, no one will delay making money.

Surprisingly, Boss Xue didn't think it was too expensive to leave, but said: "Eight yuan for a pair is eight yuan for a pair, but there must be a guarantee of quality. Can you make a sample tomorrow?"

Liu Xing pursed his lips: "Yes, but let's say it first, I don't want to do the quantity of dozens."

In terms of quality, if he can't guarantee the quality of what he makes, then other bamboo craftsmen may not be able to guarantee it even more.

"One hundred pairs of baskets, isn't that a lot?" Boss Xue took out 200 yuan and put it in front of Liu Xing: "This is the deposit, please keep it!"

Liu Xing looked at Boss Xue, and couldn't believe what he heard. He made things difficult for Boss Xue, who wanted to do business with him, and he had already paid out the deposit. This... this... Is there any conspiracy in it?

"Maybe I'm thinking too much!" Liu Xing laughed at himself, and put it in his belt after checking the authenticity of the money.

Just in case, Liu Xing took out a paper and a pen, and wrote down a double copy of the contract on buying and selling bamboo baskets in front of Boss Xue.

It's not that he is suspicious by nature, but that in the business field, he must first be a villain and then a gentleman, so that he can win every battle and remain invincible in the business world.

Boss Xue looked at the contract written by Liu Xing, and was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
