North and South groceries

Recently, Heng's car manufacturing company has been making cars much faster.

Although Hengyu's eldest son, Henghuai, is not as good as his father and younger brother in carpentry skills, he is quite good at management and is good at dealing with people. Now Hengyu basically hides behind. All matters are left to him, the eldest son, to take full control.

During the recent period, Heng's car manufacturing company has recruited a lot of people, and divided its car manufacturing compound into several different areas. Each area is responsible for different parts, handlebars for handlebars, and pedals. Make pedals, each perform their own duties.

In this way, each worker does not need to learn many skills, but only needs to be able to do one job, and if they cannot do fine work, they are only asked to do rough work.If there is someone with good craftsmanship, Heng Huai will ask him to sign a contract, asking the other party to work for his family for many years, increase his salary, and then promote his position and let him be responsible for the relative fine work.

In this way, the work efficiency has been greatly improved. In just one month of August, Heng's Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has already placed two orders, each order is [-] Yanerfei.

This order quantity was also discussed with Luo Yong before. In order to achieve the greatest publicity effect in the shortest possible time, Heng's Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will not accept large orders in the short term. At most, an order is three Ten cars.

Speaking of which, this Yanerfei also has many limitations. First of all, it has a limited load and cannot be used to carry heavy objects, otherwise the gears and chains are easily damaged.

Secondly, it is also afraid of water, which is not easy to use in rainy days. The most important thing is the two wheels. The sheepskin is not very waterproof, and once the laminated bottom inside absorbs enough rainwater, it will become very heavy.

Then there is comfort, which is not a big problem. Most people in later generations are used to smooth roads and comfortable rides. People at this time are different. Everyone thinks that crime is nothing, especially for many people who can't afford cattle and horses.

Basically, as long as the weather is good, the road quality is not particularly bad, and there are no heavy objects to carry, Yanerfei is still a pretty good means of transportation for people at this time.

As the speed of Heng's car manufacturing company increased, the price of Yanerfei in Lishi County gradually came down. Unlike before, there were people shouting prices in twos and threes everywhere. Now a Yanerfei As long as it can sell for [-] to [-] Wen, it is considered relatively good.

Generally, people who come from afar and plan to buy Yanerfei from here are mostly not satisfied with the one or two cars, so most of them still have to wait for Heng's car manufacturer to deliver the goods according to the order.

Luo Yong didn't need to worry much about Yan Erfei's business. What he was more concerned about now was the business of woolen socks and woolen felt cushions.

Since Du Xi took a batch of woolen socks and cushions from him in the spring of last year, Hou Lin and others sent people over to buy one, Ma Feiyang bought one, Guo An and his friends also bought one. Back, only the next few times, mainly woolen socks, and the cushions have not been opened much.

Luo Yong guessed that the last time Du Qilang brought those wool socks back, they should have become popular in Chang'an City, but the cushion did not become popular for some reason.

I don't know if it's because in this era, women's spending power is not as good as that of men. Just like the men who came to buy socks from him before, they were all men with a certain financial ability. They mainly bought men's socks, and occasionally brought a few pairs. Women's socks should also be bought back and given to their female relatives.

In addition, it may also have something to do with the lack of publicity. After all, cushions are not like socks, they can be worn outside and wander around.

So, how can we increase the exposure of this thing...

Luo Yong has spent a lot of time thinking about this matter recently. On the one hand, he asked a few of his disciples to start making some cushions with green pine and green bamboo patterns, intending to try to develop the market for those literati and poets.

On the other hand, I am also leading two disciples to make a large round cushion with a peony pattern. The diameter of this cushion is about 1.2 meters, and it can basically be called a carpet.

Just a while ago, after teaching the knitting techniques of woolen socks to the little girls in the village, Luo Yong also taught the techniques of making wool felt carpets to his disciples. After all, people's time and energy are limited, and if they are busy all year round, they can't make many cushions at all.

He is not worried that some disciples will start a new business after learning this craft. There is still a long way to go. It is just a craft of making wool felt cushions. If he can distinguish a person from a traitor, it will be very worthwhile. .

"Master, the price of mutton has increased again in the past two days." On the afternoon of this day, one of Luo Yong's disciples rode Yan'er into the yard of his house, got out of the car, and took a small piece of mutton tied with straw in his hand. Pass the mutton to Luo.

Nowadays, the value of Yan Erfei is not low, but since having this car, it is much more convenient to come and go, and some people are not willing to sell it.

"It's okay, when the fluff grows on those goats, everyone will be willing to kill the goats." Luo Yong took the piece of mutton, and passed it to Si Niang who was watching eagerly. Happily, he entered the kitchen.

Recently, many people in their place have heard that cashmere can be spun and woven into clothes, and the woven products are soft and warm, and the price is also high. Therefore, many people who have goats at home have not bought them recently. If you are willing to kill the sheep, you will wait until the fluff grows on those sheep before you are willing to kill them. Therefore, the price of mutton during this period is also a little higher than usual.

"At this time in the next year, it can be replaced by pork." His disciple laughed.

"It's true, mutton is expensive, and pork must be easy to sell." Luo Yong also smiled. He recently cooperated with others to buy some piglets and spread them out. By this time next year, it happens to be the season for slaughtering pigs.

After asking the price of this piece of meat, even if Luo Yongdang gave the money, although he often asked his disciples to help bring things, the money was calculated very clearly, and he would not take them for nothing on weekdays.

The disciple took the money and went to the courtyard next to him. He still had a half-finished mat over there, so he continued to work on it now. When he was done, he brought it to Luo Yong, and Luo Yong would remember it for him. The number, when the mat is sold, then settle the wages to him.

Not everyone can make this cushion, and there are those whose craftsmanship is really bad, and Luo Yong refuses to ask them to waste materials. Although wool is not a valuable thing, dyed wool is more expensive.

The few disciples who couldn't make the cashmere mat were lost, but they could only blame themselves for being too clumsy. Luo Yong treated them all equally. The reason why Hengyu was able to make Yan'erfei under the guidance of his master before It was also because he was a carpenter, and now Luo Yong taught them how to make mats. Some people learned it, and some people didn't. It all depends on the individual's ability.

Among Luo Yong's disciples, three are the most famous. One is Liu Huo, who is a pig. You pig, by the way, resell some groceries to make money.

Over the past few months, many people have known the benefits of being a pig, and Liu Huo, who goes around giving people a pig, also got the nickname "Liu Pig".

Recently, Heng Yu is also very famous, because he is a carpenter himself, so he got the title of "Carpenter Heng".

The other Xu Erlang is also quite famous. He doesn't have any name at present, but Luo Yong is more interested in him, and the other disciples also vaguely regard him as the leader, so everyone basically knows him.

The other disciples also took these three people as examples, and hoped that one day, they could earn a name for themselves. Even if they were like Yanzhu Liu, in their opinion, it was worthwhile to come to this world.

Many local people are also very fond of talking about the stories about Luo Coffin Ban'er and his disciples.

However, once this story spreads far, sometimes it will inevitably become a little bit bad: "Once upon a time there was an old man named Luo Coffin Baner. He could kill pigs and burn soil and dung. He also had many apprentices, one of whom was named Jie. Zhu Liu, who specializes in giving people pigs, has a tool in his hand, which is as long as a palm and thinner than chopsticks..."

At this time, Luo Yong didn't know that he had been passed down from the coffin board to an old man, and he was only thinking about how to promote his cushions so that he could find a good market and sell them at a good price.

If you want to do a good job in business, you must not lag behind in publicity. Speaking of it, people in the Tang Dynasty are actually very good at hype. In order to become famous, many people go to great lengths to make friends and visit friends. When composing poems and visiting brothels, don't think that people are purely for fun, many people have propaganda purposes.More cleverly, there is also the story of Chen Ziang buying a piano to become famous. Although it is not true or not, it can also give a glimpse of the social atmosphere at that time.

After much deliberation, Luo Yong also decided to hype his own wool felt cushions. For the literati and poets, he didn't know where to start for a while. The brothel and Chuguan should have some opportunities.

The master and apprentice worked continuously for several days, and this peony cushion was finally completed. The rich color and gorgeous petals, even if an ordinary woman sat on it, would be smoked with a bit of intoxicating fragrance. If there is someone who is good at The woman playing the piano and singing, sitting on this peony cushion, singing lightly, must have infinite charm.

Things are ready, but how can they be sent out?
