Chapter 496 Calculation

My family didn’t care so much about it. When I was having a meal, I set up two tables in the main hall, including adults and children, and they were eating happily.

After dinner, the men were talking in the room. Sang Ye and others walked around in front and behind the house led by Sang Zhi, and heard her have a general plan.

The whole house is not big. The big house facing the street can be used as a shop and can be divided into two parts, part of which is used as storage, and part of which is used to place items for guests to choose.

The big house has a door that opens to the backyard. The area of ​​the yard is quite large, enough for yellow wood to do carpentry here. There are a row of separated houses at the end, with a total of one, three, and four houses, which just happened to live in the family of five. The kitchen, utility room, wells, etc. are all ready-made and very convenient.

OK, all are fine. Mu nodded while listening, and was truly happy for Sangzhi's daughter.

Among the previous children, the one she was most worried about was Sangzhi. Now that Sangzhi has left her in-laws' family, she has nothing to worry about when she has what she wants to do.

When the shop opens, our Zhier will be a dignified boss lady. Yu feels that the boss lady's reputation is particularly famous and envies Sangzhi. She has no skills and cannot leave her family, otherwise she would also want to open a shop to get a boss lady.

Sang Zhi waved his hand: Even if it sounds good, I don’t expect to earn much. Besides, I still know whether this business can be done!

Liu said softly: My brother-in-law’s skills are not bad. As long as the things he made are not yelling at random, you are not afraid of no customers coming to him.

What my second sister-in-law said is reasonable, but when doing business, it is important to be kind and make money. In the future, you should collect your temper when you call customers. Mulberry leaves give Mulberry branches a vaccination in advance.

When you open the door to do business, you face all kinds of people. You must not only be able to speak well, but also be able to tolerate some tricky customers. If you welcome customers with a stern face, it will be difficult to continue this business.

I know that before the business is opened, I will go to other people's stores to see how they do it. Sang Zhi is determined to start the business, and naturally he listens to his elder sister's words.

Mu was very pleased: This is great, and he has made much better progress than before.

Tomorrow is the day when Zheng Linsangyu and Sanglin Liu and his wife set off for the capital, so everyone did not stay for dinner. Sangye had something to discuss with Chunxiang, so he took his children to the workshop in the town with Zheng Lin.

The area of ​​workshops in the town is larger than that in the village and can accommodate more workers. At present, the number of workers is almost exceeding that in the village.

The tiger head products produced by the two workshops cannot meet the needs of the Zhang family and have been recruiting new workers. However, the people from nearby villages have almost all recruited. If you want to recruit them, you have to go further.

The Zhang family has always wanted to increase the supply, and Mangye can only hold on, and at least she has to recruit enough people to let go. This time, she came to see Chunxiang, one to visit the three of them, and the other to discuss with her to see if she could recruit more people, even if she sent people to the next few towns to recruit hundreds of people.

Brother and sister-in-law, why are you here? Chunxiang had heard that Sang Ye had sprained her foot and hadn't gone out much recently. She was very surprised by the arrival of their family and hurriedly took them to the relatively quiet study.

Your sister Zhier moved to the town. Today is a warm-up day. When she came out of her house, she came to see your mother. She made new cotton coats for you, and I brought them together. As Sang Ye said, she asked Zheng Lin to take out the bag containing the cotton coat.

Chunxiang took the bag and said, "A few of us have cotton clothes to wear, so are she. She is so old. She looks bad at her eyes when she is old, and she still has to worry about doing these things."

Sang Ye smiled and said: Isn’t it all the same for mothers? I’m afraid we will be hungry if we are not busy one day, so I will take the children back to see them. My parents don’t say anything, but they are very worried about it.

Even though she was in charge of the huge workshop, Chunxiang was no longer the pitiful woman who was bullied by her in-laws and dared not resist at all. She was still afraid that her children would be gossiped about and let her mother be pointed at. She rarely went back to the village. If there was nothing important, she would only meet her family on Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year.

Chunxiang put the bag on the desk, lowered her head without saying anything.

Sang Ye knew her heart and did not talk too much about this matter and asked about the workshop.

Everything is fine. Recently, I have recruited a few good people. Now I have started and introduced my relatives. Chunxiang is very attentive to the management of the workshop. She has grown very quickly in the past two years and can already stand alone. When talking about the workshop affairs, her aura has become different.

Sang Ye was very happy and said to Zheng Lin: It was right to hand over the workshop to Chunxiang to take care of it. See how much worry I have saved.

Chunxiang was a little embarrassed to be praised: it was taught by her sister-in-law, so it would be better to find a few helpers for me, otherwise I would be really overwhelmed.

Sang Ye was about to say something when someone rushed in, which scared her.

When the visitor saw Sang Ye and Zheng Lin, he was also startled, and his face turned red in an instant, and he stammered and said to Chunxiang: Big boss, I'm sorry, oh (me) I don't know you have a guest, oh, let's go out now.

After saying that, he turned around and ran away. The fast Sang Ye couldn't see clearly what he looked like.

Mom, that uncle is so strange! Tang Yuaner wrinkled his brows and didn't understand the uncle's actions that suddenly rushed in and ran out again.

Sang Ye was also confused and looked at Chunxiang and asked: Who is this person? He doesn’t have the accent like that of our Taoyuan Town. Even in Yunlai County, she has never heard of this accent.

A hint of discomfort flashed across Chunxiang's face, and soon returned to normal: Zhou Hu is indeed not from Taoyuan Town. His hometown is in Qingzhou. A few years ago, there was a flood in Qingzhou, so their family escaped. Finally, they settled in Taoyuan Town and were recruited to work in the workshop.

Sang Ye didn't notice her discomfort and smiled and said, "Look at it very honest."

Chunxiang nodded: His father died of illness on the way to escape. He brought my mother and sister all the way here. Before entering our workshop, the family of three relied on him to survive in a hard work. After arriving at the workshop, he also helped to move goods. He was an honest man and could endure hardships.

It’s really not easy! I didn’t expect that this is the life experience. Sang Ye sighed and said: Is his mother and her sister also working in the workshop?

Chunxiang said: Here, his mother's eyes were not very good, so she spread cardboard with those aunts. His girl was smart. I saw that it was okay, so I asked her to go to the warehouse to handle the needle and thread.

Sang Ye didn't care much about the personnel arrangements in the workshop. After Chunxiang said this, he had a little favor to the three of Zhou's family: as long as the family is united, life will get better and better.

As the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were talking, Tang Yuaner next to her felt bored and quietly pulled her father's sleeve: Dad, I want to play with Sister Niu Niu.

Zheng Lin has always responded to Tang Yuaner's request, and it was not a big deal, so he naturally followed her. So he asked Chunxiang where Niu Niu was going, told Sang Ye and took her out.

He came out with his daughter's fat claws and saw Zhou Hu wandering under the corridor at a glance. He wanted to go over and ask him if there was something urgent, but before the person had passed, the man ran away.

Seeing this scene, Tang Yuaner raised her head and said in a affirmative voice: It must be that Daddy was too fierce and scared her uncle away!

Zheng Lin was speechless and patted her daughter's little head: Can you still look for Niu Niu?

Tang Yuaner closed her mouth tactfully, blinked her big eyes and pointed her head at her father.

My daughter is so cute. Zheng Lin can't get angry even if she wants to, so she takes her to continue looking for Niu Niu.

In the room, Mulberry Ye asked Chunxiang for advice on recruiting people.

Chunxiang thought for a while and said: I can't get out of here, so why don't you let Zhou Hu and his brothers go? Zhou Xiaomei is smart, and Zhou Hu is just an honest person at first sight. He goes to the next town to recruit people. I don't think they are bad people.

Sang Ye shook his head: The accent of the brother and sister is a problem. When they hear that they are from other places, they will definitely not be at ease to follow them. Then choose someone to be smart and go with them. By the way, we will explain our treatment clearly, and it is best to write it down in black and white.

If she could find a yamen to stamp a seal, it would be twice the result with half the effort. Unfortunately, she did not have such a great face yet, so it would be difficult for the Fang family to entrust this matter.

After being reminded, Chunxiang also realized the accent of the brother and sister, and said: Then choose another woman and bring a few samples of tiger-headed clothes and tiger-headed shoes. I think it is easier to attract suitable ones.

Sang Ye has no objection: You can do it. When you choose someone, discuss with them to see if they have better suggestions. As long as they can recruit 100 people this time, each person will be given an extra five taels of silver by the end of the year.

Chunxiang smiled and said: I have dealt with many bosses when I came to the town, so I will count you as the biggest choice! Don't worry, with the reward of these five taels of silver, they will definitely do their best to recruit people.

At this time, the Zhou brother and sister-in-law, who were talking to each other, were talking to a remote corner of the workshop.

Brother, why did you come out so soon? Did you explain it to that woman clearly? The fifteen-year-old Zhou Xiaomei is taller than her peers and has a beautiful appearance. She is now staring at her brother with wide eyes, and her words are not very pleasant.

The woman was meeting the guests, so it was inconvenient to say that, so why was Eun anxious? Zhou Hu frowned, his face full of impatientness, and there was no honest look like Chunxiang said.

Zhou Xiaomei curled her lips and said unhappily: Oh, who is it for the urge to be anxious? Don’t forget, there are many people staring at this woman. If you don’t take action, let others take the lead, it will be in vain.

Zhou Hu said disdainfully: An old widow with a weak sex and two scoundrels, who would treat her as a hot commodity? When someone left, he would say that it would not be broken.

Zhou Xiaomei was very convinced of Zhou Hu's ability. After hearing what he said, she was not anxious. She said in a longing: After doing this, we will go away and fly away. We will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the rest of our lives.

Zhou Hu seemed to have seen such a beautiful day, and a wretched smile appeared on his face: Hehe, then, I will marry ten or eight women and give birth to dozens of babies. I don’t have to worry about getting old.

Zhou Xiaomei was very disgusted with Zhou Hu's wish and said, "Just like this, you should give birth to a fewer people, so as not to look like Jackie, men can't marry their wives, and women can't find men."

It's strange to say that he is obviously a brother and sister of a mother, but when Zhou Xiaomei goes out, she becomes a little beauty among the other people. Zhou Hu becomes an ugly guy. It's not too tragic to walk in the same place.

Zhou Hu had long accepted the reality of ugly appearance and didn't care about Zhou Xiaomei's sarcasm: Yes, sissy, what a nonsense, as long as men have money, some women pounce on them.

Zhou Xiaomei was too lazy to argue with him and reminded: This workshop was under the name of the sister-in-law of Zheng's family. I have inquired about it before. The woman is very capable and even her man is not easy to mess with. Be careful and don't let people see the tricks.

Zhou Hu listened to this and said: Oh, I know, Eun and Mom are also careful. Oh, we have been preparing for so long, we must not fail.

The brother and sister were worried that there would be ears to hear the wall, so they hurriedly said a few words and left one after another. No one knew that in this little corner where no one was thinking about a woman with a rough fate.

When Sang Ye and Zheng Lin returned home with their children, it was already dark.

After dinner, Mangye was not idle and began to pack Zheng Lin’s things to take away tomorrow. The clothes and shoes were packed two days ago. The jerky meat that was dried under the eaves and some small items that might be used.

The jerky meat had been air-dried now. When Zheng Lin took the jerky meat off and weighed it, it weighed more than 40 kilograms in total. According to the idea of ​​mulberry leaves, he was asked to take them all with him. The four adults might not have enough to eat on the road.

It is enough to bring half of it. Even if you can't find an inn on the road, you can stay at someone else's house. You don't have to worry that we will be hungry. Looking at the cloth bag that can't be stuffed, Zheng Lin couldn't help but feel a little funny and stepped forward to stop the mulberry Ye from continuing to force it.

If I didn't know the situation outside, I would really believe you. Sang Ye didn't listen to him, so he took a clean new bag and stuffed the remaining jerky meat in it, and prepared some candy and desserts and the like.

In the past, she took Huan'er to escape, but she didn't necessarily see people after leaving for more than ten days. At that time, she and Huan'er dig grassroots. When they encountered street markets or small towns, she didn't dare to buy too much dry food, for fear that money would be exposed and targeted.

She suffered more suffering and sins in the years she fled for life than the other decades combined. She didn't want to have everything now, and her relatives were born outside and had to worry about belly problems.

She didn't know what kind of pain she felt in Zheng Lin's heart when a word she accidentally made Zheng Lin's heart. Looking at her wife's busy back, even though she knew she was right in front of her, he still couldn't imagine how she survived it. She could only stand like this and watch her put the prepared food into her bag little by little.
