The words "winter and spring" stirred up a wave of excitement in the whole family.
Old Man Dong was stunned for a long time, and before he could react, he heard Old Mrs. Dong scream: "How can you invite an outsider? There are so many brothers in the family, third child, you are not doing the right thing!"
Old Man Dong also agreed with this, so after he realized what he was saying, he just looked at Dong Sanchun in a muffled voice and was not in a hurry to speak.
In response to this, Dong Sanchun did not panic at all, and asked with a smile: "Auntie, to be a shopkeeper, you must not only be able to read and write, but also be able to do arithmetic, and you must also be able to talk and attract customers. Which child in our family can succeed?"
At the end of the sentence, Dong Sanchun slapped his head and reacted as if he was hindsight: "Ah, Dong Xu is fine, but isn't this reading?"
Mrs. Dong's face became very ugly when she was retorted. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but murmured: "Hasn't Lao Wu been studying for many years? He must be able to do this."
Upon hearing what Mrs. Dong said, Dong Sanchun clicked her tongue twice: "Oh, we can't afford the fifth child. He has deceived the family over the years, but I still remember it. Who knew he could be the shopkeeper?"
If anything happens, Nuanya's shop is just a small business to make hard money, but it can't afford the misfortune of Lao Wu."
Mrs. Dong was choked to silence, and she still wanted to try to defend Dong Laowu, but she couldn't say anything.
After all, what happened with Dong Lao Wu is still a negative example for the family.
Old Man Dong took a deep breath, thought for a while and said hoarsely: "Dongxing or Dongjing, Dongsheng are both young, they should be able to take on this job, no matter what, they are all brothers.
At worst, I will learn from you first and wait..."
Before Old Man Dong finished speaking, Dong Sanchun turned around and interrupted him: "How long will it take to study? I heard that Dongchang and Dongshi have stopped studying. They have been studying for less than a year, and I heard that they still have big characters.
For those of you who don’t know, Dongxing and the others are brothers, and they probably have similar brains. Nuan Ya’s shop is open for one day, and it’s money to rent the shop and taxes to pay, so we can’t just wait for him, right?”
Old Man Dong was also choked to silence. He looked embarrassed, but he still wanted to fight for Dongxing and the others, but Dongxing and the others were indeed illiterate.
Dong Laowu has occupied the position of scholar in the family for so many years and spent so much money. Among the younger generation, only Dongxu has the opportunity to study because he has the status and opportunity of the eldest grandson.
Others were indirectly given up.
Of course, it’s just that the talent itself isn’t that great.
At this time, Old Man Dong began to secretly hate Dong Laowu again, and wished he could drag him in front of him and beat him up!
The two elders were speechless. The eldest uncle listened for a long time. Seeing that the second elder did not speak, she became anxious: "Third elder, this is all negotiable. If Dongxing and the others can't do it, the eldest sister-in-law can still do it."
If you have a nephew from your mother's side, this is a real relationship, so you definitely can't..."
"They are not real relatives. Compared to Dong Zhi, we all share the same clan. Unless we no longer want to stay in the clan, we will all work hard. As for the nephew from my sister-in-law's family, forget it. After all, my surname is not Dong, so I can't trust him."
The phrase "winter comes three springs" is quite unkind.
The eldest uncle was so beaten that her face turned black. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
Old Man Dong wanted to say a few more words, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Dong Nuan on the other side has already discussed this with the clan leader. Dong Zhi's mother originally thought that he could find a light job in the town.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any suitable connections.
Mr. Dong Fugui's family has always said that they are doing well, but in practice, they are not at all.
Their family's style is getting more and more disdainful. They used to do superficial things, but since last year because of the snack recipe incident, they have become more and more unwilling to care about their face.
Previously, Dongzhi's mother-in-law wanted to get close to the other party's family. No matter what, she was also the clan leader's daughter-in-law. However, the other party promised well and never did anything about it later.
After a long time, Dong Zhiniang understood it clearly and was too lazy to ask any more questions.
When Dong Zhi was at home, he was not completely free to eat. He occasionally went to the field and helped copy books.
Although his reading talent is not good, his handwriting is pretty good, so he occasionally gets requests to copy books.
Of course, I am at the same level as Dong Yao, and I usually receive storybooks.
Now when I heard that Dong Nuan was going to hire Dong Zhi as the shopkeeper, Dong Zhi was so pretty.
Although, the warm winter shop is not there yet.
But, she believes it!
This girl, Dong Nuan, remembers that when she was first brought into their home, she was still a little girl wearing shabby clothes.
In just two years, things have changed a lot. Now you can open a shop in the county. If you are not a good person, how can you do it?
Dong Nuan’s salary to Dong Zhi is based on basic salary plus performance.
The basic salary is not too high, but compared to Dong Zhi's current situation, it is much better. After all, Dong Zhi is young, his face is still a little tender, and he lacks experience. In fact, he still needs to work hard through winter, spring and spring.
But he has good character and is literate, which is the basis for Dong Nuan to choose him.
The basic salary is not high because Dong Nuan's shop is not big, but he has performance. As long as he does a good job, there is no problem in earning dozens of taels of silver a year.
Of course, if a big item is sold, it will be very easy to make a hundred taels a year.
Dong Zhi was actually quite excited. Because of his matter, Aniang went around asking for help, and the most she got was asking for a job as a waiter in a restaurant. This was still a big favor.
Aniang didn't want him to suffer this fate, so she kept stopping him from going.
Now that things have finally turned around, Dong Zhi couldn't help but be excited.
In addition, lard soap has finally been made and is now waiting to be dried and shaped before it can be sold.
At that time, the family will have more income.
Of course, the clan leader will not give such precious prescriptions directly to the clan members for the time being.
If the sales are good in the end, I may kill pigs and sheep for everyone at the end of the year as a reward.
No matter how much, I'm afraid it won't work.
This recipe is much more precious than the snack recipe.
The patriarch is not prepared to use this to test human nature.
After all, Dong Nuan no longer needs support from the clan to study. Even if he doesn't take the prescription, the clan can't say anything.
However, the clan leader himself is not a greedy person, and he himself still considers the development of the clan.
Therefore, if I really make money in the future, I will definitely seek benefits for the clan, and even plan to hire people to open up wasteland in Beishan and allocate more fields to everyone.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I probably have to let my youngest son think of a solution for the final sale of lard soap.
Just as the lard soap arrangements were finished, another happy event happened at home.
How could the patriarch be unhappy?
"On the hour at noon, on the hour." The clan leader was excited and prepared to open fire at noon and treat Dong Nuan to a meal.
