Sign in and get rich in farming

When Tan Bailu and Master Shang arrived, the crowd in the shop had just dispersed. He went to the backyard after entering the shop and looked at Yu Hongdou who was sitting cross-legged in the backyard writing and drawing.

"Looks like nothing happened." Tan Bailu looked at Yu Hongdou, who was still in good spirits, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, I have eight nobles protecting me, and I will be able to turn danger into safety and disaster into blessing." Yu Hongdou said nonsense.

"Indeed, Xiao Hongdou, you really turned misfortune into blessing this time." When Tan Bailu thought of the things Yu Song told him, his jealousy was about to burst through his head.

"?" Yu Hongdou's eyes flashed with question marks. She was just talking.

"Haha, there are a lot of things involved. You just need to know that you will definitely be a daughter of an official in the future." Tan Bailu pretended to be mysterious and refused to tell the truth.

The main thing is that the matter has not been settled yet. Even if he and Master Shang know the answer, it is not easy for them to speak directly.

Yu Hongdou rolled her eyes at him. She would definitely be a daughter of an official family in the future. She believed that with her brother's intelligence and talent, he would be able to win the top three prizes and rise to a high position in the society.

"Hongdou, is this something new that you are painting?" Master Shang was too lazy to pay attention to his disciple who had the mental capacity of only six years old. Instead, he kept staring at the brushstrokes in Hongdou's hand.

Yu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the drawing in her hand and handed it to Master Shang very generously: "Well, I thought of this when I was riding in the car this morning."

There are two rows of pictures on the drawing. The first row is a frog-shaped tumbler with a round head, round brain and round belly.

The second row features the bobblehead dolls that have been popular in the car decoration industry for a long time, but they are now in the shape of Wangwang.

One row was the three views of a toy and the design principle. Both were simple and did not take up much space, so Yu Hongdou just drew them on a drawing.

"This unbreakable frog is quite interesting. If combined with the wooden man, wouldn't it be a flexible opponent?" Seeing the teacher's surprise, Tan Bailu hurried over and immediately extended his thinking when he saw the drawing.

"That's a good idea. I'll add it later. When it's done at the farm, I'll give one to my fifth brother first." The light bulb in Yu Hongdou's head lit up, and she started to tell Tan Bailu all her tricks.

"...No, give me two. I want the beech one." Tan Bailu pointed at Yu Hongdou's nose and laughed. He was afraid that Yu Hongdou, this little rascal, would steal his business.

Yu Hongdou raised her hand to make an OK sign, but then she reacted suddenly, raised her index and middle fingers to make a two, and nodded.

Master Shang laughed, thought about his senior brother's reply, and told Yu Hongdou the purpose of his visit in a serious tone: "Hongdou, remember the last time I told you that I liked Senior Brother Mo."

Yu Hongdou nodded, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes. Now that it was brought up, could it be that the other party was really interested in her and was ready to come and teach her?

"He sent a letter asking you to bring him a picture you drew as verification." Master Shang couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of all the doubts and sarcasm in his senior brother's letter.

This senior brother of his is the master's nephew, and was also the thing that the master was most concerned about before his death.

The senior brother was obsessed with various academic subjects and remained unmarried throughout his life. He did accept two apprentices before, but one died in an accident and the other was found by his family.

From then on, the senior brother was trapped alone in the training institute, and they were all afraid that he would die silently at home one day.

"Oh, okay. I'll go back and find one and have someone send it over. I've been living in the manor recently, so it's very convenient." Yu Hongdou thought about it and decided to give the picture of the crossbow over.

She believed that the person introduced by Master Shang was definitely a man of real ability, and she was afraid that the other party would not be interested if she brought him small toys.

Moreover, Yu Hongdou also had his own selfish motives. It would be even better if the other party could improve the crossbow, making it lighter and more powerful.

Hearing that Yu Hongdou was going to stay at the farm for two days, Tan Bailu was a little happy and invited her to visit his home when she was free.

What he meant was that he wanted to introduce his wife to Yu Hongdou and Xu, and to have them visit each other more often in the future.

Yu Hongdou readily agreed, as she was also quite curious about Tan Bailu's wife.

I only heard that the other party's family was wealthy, and that she had a real red wedding dowry that lasted for ten miles. She was also very particular about her daily food and accommodation at home, which often made Tan Bailu feel inferior to her.

Last time, Tan Bailu asked her to prepare gifts for Yu Sanlang's family, and they prepared all gold and gems, which showed their generosity and wealth.

Tan Bailu had a lot of things to do, so he left after not staying for long.

Before leaving, he bought a set of soap and toys, intending to take them back as gifts for his wife and children. He hid the things Yu Hongdou had given him before and didn't take them to the backyard...

Master Shang also followed suit and bought a set to take care of the business. He also made up his mind to send this set of things together with the drawings given by Yu Hongdou to his senior brother to entice him to come earlier.

The trip of the master and the apprentice was not in vain, as they entered and left the store openly, which attracted many people who were interested in Tan Bailu and followed suit to shop in the store.

The other gift was from Master Shang, from a retired old servant in his family. This servant had once been a companion to Master Shang's father. He was childless and alone, so he should have been sent to the Shang family ancestral hall to live out his retirement.

When Master Shang heard Yu Song say that he wanted to find a poor but educated person to teach the people in Zhuangzi how to read and write, he simply took the person over and let him make use of his remaining talents.

On the first day of opening, 70 to 80 percent of the items in the shop were sold, and there were a few additional orders. The former took advantage of the convenience of traffic from the dock, and the latter were mostly for Tan Bailu's sake.

When they settled the accounts in the evening, Yu Hongdou, the master, didn't mention it, but Duan Zhuangtou and Duan Yuan were overjoyed.

"Master, excluding the capital and deposit, we have made a net profit of three hundred and fifty-six taels!" Duan Zhuangtou asked someone to calculate it twice, but he still couldn't believe the number.

"Well, good luck with the grand opening!" Yu Hongdou had already calculated the result in her head when she heard them calculating just now, so she was not that excited.

It was just over three hundred taels, and the private money she had signed for was already one hundred taels.

But today can be considered a good start. These are small gadgets that are not expensive. Selling them for this much money is simply making several times the profit.

“Everyone who helped open the business today has worked hard. I’ll give each of you 100 coins as a gift and make two extra sets of clothes. Record them in a booklet and we’ll distribute the bonuses together at the end of the year.” Yu Hongdou waved his hand and began distributing opening benefits.

If you want people to work, you have to feed them. As a boss, you can’t be too stingy, otherwise even if you gain their support temporarily, they will rebel in the future.

Yu Hongdou told Duan Zhuangtou about what Master Shang had said about the old servant who could read, and asked him to divide those who wanted to learn to read into several classes according to their ages, so that they could take turns to study, so as not to delay their work.

This made Duan Zhuangtou even more excited than just figuring out the bill. Without saying a word, he knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Hongdou several times.

Duan Zhuangtou knew from childhood that he would be a slave all his life and a servant for all his lives, but now he saw a glimmer of hope for success from being a slave and a servant.

The fact turned out to be just as he hoped. From then on, Anbei Village became famous all over the world, and people who left Anbei Village were praised and respected even if they became slaves or servants.
