Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Liu Quan was so excited that he couldn't express his excitement. He didn't have much at the moment, only the green bricks were the most.

In the current disaster year, ordinary people can't even afford to eat. Who has the money to build a house, let alone a big brick house.

Some people who had made a deposit before would rather pay some deposit than not have the bricks. The bricks they had made earlier were all in their hands.

The bricks have been made, but the money cannot be recovered, and the workers cannot be paid their wages. Now that workers were making trouble every day, he was worried and exhausted.

After listening to Shen Ping's words, Liu Quan felt like it was already dawn. Seeing hope, he smiled and said, "Ms. Shen, let's go into the room and sit down and talk!"

Shen Ping nodded and walked into the room that was previously surrounded by men.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang unconsciously followed Niu Dan back to the house.

This adobe house is also very simple. There is a dilapidated Eight Immortals table in the middle and a few bridge stools beside the Eight Immortals table.

"Ms. Shen, please sit down!"

Liu Quan said to Ms. Yang who was standing aside: "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and get a bowl of water for Mrs. Shen and brother."

Yang was not angry after hearing this. She quickly went back to the house and brought out two bowls of water, placing them in front of the two of them: "Come, Mrs. Shen, let his brother drink water!"

Shen Ping smiled and nodded at Mr. Yang, and casually took out a blueprint from her sleeve: "Shopkeeper Liu, let me show you the blueprint. How many bricks are needed for this large blue brick house with tiles?" After speaking, Shen Ping handed over the drawings.

I showed this to my eldest brother before. He and his friends rarely build houses like this, so I can’t tell you the details.

Liu Quan took the drawing and was stunned when he saw it.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen in front of me was a big customer. He had a total of four blue brick and tiled houses drawn on this drawing. They are all exactly the same pattern.

The key is that every blue brick house with large tiles has two floors. After thinking for a while, Liu Quan walked out.

When he came back, Liu Quan had an extra brick in his hand: "Ms. Shen, look, this is our brick!" Liu Quan picked up the brick and showed it to Shen Ping.

"This kind of green brick is about 250 mm long, 125 mm wide and 65 mm high."

Shen Ping took it, and she didn't expect that ancient bricks were so heavy. They were heavier than modern bricks, weighing about five kilograms, but the green brick in her hand was at least one kilogram heavier.

Ancient blue bricks were larger in size than modern red bricks. The modern red brick is 240mm long, 115mm wide and 53mm high.

Shen Ping weighed the bricks in her hands, looked at Liu Quan and asked, "I wonder how much each brick costs."

"Ms. Shen, there are about 128 bricks in three square feet. Each of your buildings has 300 square feet. Each building has two floors, so you need brick. There are four buildings in total, so you need brick.

This 2 cents is a brick, and a brick is a cent. In other words, it is 205 taels of silver.

Listening to the numbers reported by Liu Quan, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. This was really a big customer. In these good years, only 40,000 to 50,000 bricks were produced a year.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen, who looked inconspicuous in front of me, would need more than 100,000 bricks at one time, which was enough to support the brick kiln in the past two or three years.

Shen Ping nodded. The price was within her acceptable range. It was not easy to bake such a brick.

A large amount of firewood is needed to dig and mix the soil to make the dough. In ancient times, when everything was done by hand, a lot of manpower and material resources were needed.

Liu Quan tried his best to suppress his excitement and said to Shen Ping: "Ms. Shen, to tell you the truth, I only have more than 5000 bricks on hand. According to this calculation, it is still less than half. Besides, our kiln is relatively small. , each can only make .

We have a total of ten kilns, and if they are all fired together, it is just enough for 10 yuan, and it will take days at the fastest. "

Shen Ping frowned and thought about it in her mind, and then said: "It doesn't matter, there are 50,000 bricks available for construction now. Shopkeeper Liu, please get out of your way. I want all the next batch of bricks."

Liu Quan was overjoyed at the moment. This sudden surprise made him a little at a loss. Can't believe this is true.

This brick kiln has been his family property for generations, and he has to guard this family property. The brick kiln was about to be destroyed in his hands.

By doing this, Mrs. Shen, the batch of goods currently on her hands will be sold out, and the brick kiln can be reopened. Even Liu Quan, a seven-foot-tall man, couldn't help but blush.

He said excitedly: "So, then I'm really grateful to Mrs. Shen! It's just..." At this point, Liu Quan changed the subject.

He said awkwardly: "I just want to ask Mrs. Shen if she can settle the money first. You see, the wages of workers like me haven't been settled yet!"

Several men at the scene immediately looked at Shen Ping, and now Shen Ping was their hope.

"Of course!" Shen Ping nodded heavily.

"Great!" The men present exclaimed! Everyone applauded.

Shopkeeper Yan also breathed a sigh of relief at this time and looked at Yang on the side. Yang still hadn't recovered yet and was stunned.

According to what Mrs. Shen in front of me said, the Liu family's brick kiln came back to life again. In this way, not only will all the bricks in hand be released, but the wages will also be paid off.

And it sounds like Mrs. Shen is quite loud, and she can still settle half of the silver first.

Seeing her dumbfounded expression, shopkeeper Yan joked with a teasing expression on his face: "Brother and sister, what are you doing, do you still want to leave now?"

After Shopkeeper Yan said this, Mr. Yang finally came to his senses, his face turned slightly red, and he raised his head and said, "Where are we going? This is the time when the kiln factory needs people the most. I have to help my boss." !”

Niudan jumped up and down and ran to the two little girls: Eldest sister, second sister is so good, mother won’t leave! The three children clapped their hands and laughed: "Let's go out and play!" "After that, we walked out of the house hand in hand.

Seeing that his wife said she couldn't leave and the child also laughed, Liu Quan laughed from the bottom of his heart. This wife and child were his motivation. He worked hard for his wife and child.

Liu Quan rubbed his hands nervously and looked at Shen Ping expectantly.

Shen Ping smiled and said to Shopkeeper Yan: "Please, Shopkeeper Yan, could you please take some of the big brothers out."

Shopkeeper Yan immediately understood and asked a few people to go out first. Shopkeeper Yan, Shen Ping and Liu Quan were the only ones left in the room.

Shen Ping used her mind to take out a 1-tael banknote from her sleeve (actually in space) and handed it to Liu Quan: "Shopkeeper Liu, this is 100 taels. Take a look."

Liu Quan and Yang were dumbfounded when they saw such a big banknote, as if they were dreaming.

Liu Quan took the banknote tremblingly and looked at it carefully. Yes, this was the banknote from Tonghe Bank, the largest bank in Heyang County.
