Little wealth

Since August, we can already feel the climate change. It is usually hot after noon and before the sun goes down in the afternoon.Recently, after the hottest moment at noon, the temperature has dropped significantly, and cooking in the kitchen in the afternoon will not be so hot.

After the dinner was ready, they sent a portion to the yard next door for several carpenters to eat together, and kept some for their own family.

Recently, there is a rush of work there. The three master carpenters live with them, and they also eat and live with them. Every day Josh cooks meals for three people, and he needs to add two spoonfuls of rice.What kind of vegetables they eat at home, what kind of vegetables are sent to the yard next door, and he can't make it so that the people in his family eat vegetables, and the masters in the yard next door eat green vegetables.

After dinner in the evening, their mother stayed at their house, and only my uncle and three carpenters went back to live in the old house.

The three master carpenters are now living in the old house. Anyway, they have their own house, so they don't need to spend more money to rent a house from the people in the village.It's just that there were three strange men living there, and it was inconvenient for them to live there, so they moved to their house temporarily.

The room that happened to be reserved for the children has been vacant all the time. There are all the beds and bedding in the room. Josh packed it up and let them live in their home. After half a month, the bed in the new house After the cabinets are finished and moved into the house, the whole family will move into the new house. It will take only a few days, and they will just live in it for a while.

But the next day when he received the silver from the magistrate, Josh wondered if the magistrate had given it by mistake, why did he give so much?

After asking the person who brought the bank notes, I realized that one of them belonged to the county magistrate, and the other was given by another adult.From this point of view, aren't those two adults quite generous?

The person who sent the money left after delivering the banknotes, and did not give him a chance to return them at all.

Of course, he didn't want to return the money. They were supposed to get the money, except for the hard work of Carpenter Zhao, and the cooking money for their two meals a day. Rice and vegetables cost money. He came back, and in such a hot weather, he still has to cook several meals in the kitchen every day, at least he has to count as a wage here, right?

He didn't take the money from the yamen last time, but this time the county magistrate sent him a bank note, and he accepted it with a smile.

For this reason, Josh still put a big hat on those two lords in his heart. Their county magistrate and that lord Xu are really two generous and good officials!It's the first time... the second time for him to grow up so big, seeing and meeting officials who give money to ordinary people!

When he told his carpenter Zhao about this at night, his carpenter Zhao asked him hesitantly, "Is it not easy for us to collect this money, or should we give it back to those two adults?" .”

Josh gave this person a blank look. This person is not in charge of the family and doesn't know how expensive daily necessities are, right? "Of course we will accept the hard work the two adults gave us."

Looking at the man's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. The carpenter Zhao in their family is probably a carpenter who they eat and drink every day. It doesn't cost money to entertain those carpenters, right?

This man doesn't get paid for working for others. Do they want the family to take their son to drink the northwest wind?

"..." Carpenter Zhao, you clearly didn't say that last time?

Seeing that the man was still puzzled, Josh knew that with the elm head of their carpenter, if he didn't speak clearly, the elm head probably couldn't understand the relationship of interest.

"Don't you really think that those two adults took our threshing machine just to give someone threshing grain, and there is no other use for it?" he asked.

But looking at the expression of their carpenter Zhao, Josh knew he had guessed right.

Later, he told Carpenter Zhao about the help of the threshing machine to their Anyang local area and the help and influence on the official career of the county magistrate, "If I guess correctly, the one who came to our house with the county magistrate Mr. Xu, he must have held an important official position in Beijing... When that lord returns to the capital, he will talk to the emperor about our Anyang and our county magistrate. Would it be possible to lose the benefits of our county magistrate? Will the adults themselves have no benefit?"

"So, do you understand?"

Zhao He had a look on my husband's face, which could be guessed, and Josh couldn't help laughing.

Knowing that this man's head was full of his wood, probably because of the twists and turns that couldn't fit into the officialdom, Josh interrupted the man's wild thoughts and said, "This is just my guess, I don't know Is it true? Well, you better not think about it, you just need to know that we have this silver tael, and we can go to the town to rent a shop."

"I know you like to do what you do, and you don't like to go to the town to set up a stall for business, then you should continue to do what you like. Let's go to the town to open a barbecue restaurant first, and then open a store for you Face to face business." The recent autumn wind has come, and their smoothie business must not be as hot as it would be to sell, so after discussing it, they plan to stop the smoothie business and plan to open in the town A barbecue shop.

During this period of time, their family was struggling to make ends meet, and the money they earned was basically not as much as they spent. It just so happened that the sum of money sent by the county magistrate and Mr. Xu could fill this hole and make a surplus. A sum of money is enough for them to rent two shops in the town.

Last time he went to inquire about the prices of the shops in the town. With the little money they have, it is far from enough to buy a good shop in the town, so they still need to work hard to make money later. .

"If the family does not have enough money, let's rent a shop for barbecue first. I can rent the shop at my side later." Zhao He worried that their family didn't have much money, and it would cost money to rent two shops at once. Too much silver taels.

"Don't worry, it's enough." Josh raised his hand and patted the man's chest, telling him, "When you guys finish this batch of goods, don't we still have a lot of money to worry about? Maybe if there is more money Some, we can rent a shop and buy a shop.” As he said that, he calculated in his heart the silver taels he currently had at home and the money for the next payment, which should be enough to buy a shop. ?

It's just that if you use up all the silver in the family to buy a shop, the family will not have any silver taels to settle down in. If something happens to the family and they need to spend silver taels, then they will not be able to get any silver taels, which doesn't seem too good.

At night, the two of them discussed about the shop. There must be enough money to rent the shop. If they want to buy a shop, they need to discuss it again.

**

When everyone had breakfast together the next day, Josh mentioned this incident to his family.What they mean is that they can rent two shops first, and then buy them after the business is done well and earn silver taels. As long as they have enough silver taels, do they still have to worry about not being able to buy a good shop?

After his mother mentioned this, he thinks it is true. There is no 100% profit in doing business. If their business is not good, they can stop renting or change their careers to do something else.

Although in Josh's own mind, it is impossible for their family's business to be bad and unable to continue.

After a few more days like this, when their carpenter Zhao and several masters drove out Master Zhou's batch of goods and delivered the goods, they also got the money for the goods.

They had previously agreed with the three master carpenters that as long as they were able to work independently, in the first three years, in addition to the annual five taels of silver, they would also be given an additional [-]% commission.If they can persist in doing it for three years, the share given to them will increase to [-]% after three years. If it exceeds ten years, they will continue to discuss about the share.

Of course, they are not painting big moon cakes for several carpenters. The first share of their share surprised all three carpenters. Even Wu San, the carpenter who usually talks the least, appeared on his face. A look of astonishment.

Josh heard what their family Zhao Xiaohu said, because he was not there at the time.

Strangers come and go in and out of the yard next door, and it is not easy for him and Chen Yan, a young married and unmarried brother, to go in and out there, so his mother usually goes there to deliver meals and do anything. While running errands, he and Chen Yan rarely went there.

But the commission was calculated by him, so Josh knew how much commission he gave to those three people.

As long as the sound of wood in the yard next door has been knocking, their carpenter Zhao and the three carpenters have been busy for a long time, so there is nothing urgent to do in the next two days, so they let the three carpenters go for two days Fake, set aside two days to go to the town to look at the shop.At that time, they will rent a shop in the town, and they can move to the town to do work in the future. There will be no outsiders at home, and their own family will be more at ease.

"Everyone go back and come back in two days. If the time is too urgent, you can rest for a day and come back." After sending money to people, Zhao He told several carpenters by the way to let them go back and rest for two days. Come back in two days.

"Hey, okay. I'm going home to pack some things. It won't take another day. I'll be back in a day." Ever since I packed two pieces of clothes and came here with the yamen's car that day, Chen Dazhu has always been Did not go back home.

As soon as he heard that he could rest for two days, Chen Dazhu thought about going back to his original village to pack up the remaining belongings.

Although there is nothing too valuable in his home.

"Hey, okay, I also want to go home." Wang Fu was very happy when he heard that he could go home after work, and he could finally go home to visit his wife at home.When he came out, his wife's belly was already very big, and he didn't know if she gave birth now.

Wu San was the only one who received his wages and heard that he could rest for a few days later. He had no expression on his face. He was happy to see him, but he didn't say anything either.
