Now the craftsmen are actually allowed to eat meat and drink wine? This is simply the first time in the world.
Lao Hei knew from the smell of alcohol on Heizi's body that he had been drinking.
But the white flour pancakes and meat placed on the table made him believe that these were all real. Master Han really invited the craftsman to drink wine and eat meat.
He pursed his lips and said, "Why do you let you eat meat?"
Heizi never thought that his father would ask him this. He paused, spread his hands, and said: "I don't know either, but I heard when I was drinking that it seemed that Master Han was very happy because of what we did. So.
Let everyone have a meal and celebrate."
While the father and son were talking, Kuroko's mother went into the house and took Kuroko's brother out.
The child fell asleep and was woken up again. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and called Heizi abruptly, "Brother."
Heizi stretched out his hand to say hello, "Yezi, come on, come to my brother's place. See what delicious food I brought for you."
"Meat?"
The child's eyes lit up and he quickly climbed onto the stool. Without hesitation, he grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth. While eating, he reached out and wanted to grab a piece.
However, the mother next to me waved my hand and slapped her on the back of my hand, saying, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
Heizi looked at his younger brother with a smile, feeling very satisfied that he could now work for the family.
"Father, mother, you guys should eat too."
"Eat, eat..."
Heiziniang nodded repeatedly, turned around and took out the bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing that his mother was about to give him bowls and chopsticks, Heizi quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and explained: "Mom, I don't need to eat, you can eat. I just came back full, and I'm still holding on. Uh..."
Heizi made a hiccuping sound on purpose.
Heizi's parents actually didn't eat much, and they stopped using their chopsticks after taking two bites.
Seeing that Meazi kept eating four or five pieces of meat, Kuroko's father quickly rewrapped the paper bag.
"Children can't eat meat. They need to eat some white flour. Only by eating white flour can they grow taller." He stretched out his hand and tore off half of the pancake and handed it to Meiko.
Meazi's happy meat-eating process was interrupted by her father. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She greedily ate the last bit of meat, then took the pancake from her father's hand and ate it slowly.
Heizi's father didn't care about Meazi's reaction, and gave the paper bag to his wife, "Go and put it away, and give it to Meazi tomorrow."
Heiziniang followed her instructions and put the paper bag away, and the family sat together and talked.
"Master Han is really kind to you. He paid you your salary, let you eat in the hall for free, and now he treats you to meat and wine..." Lao Hei sighed.
It was rare for Heizi to hear a kind word for him from his father, and he couldn't help but puff up his chest, "That is, Mr. Han not only invited everyone to eat meat and drink wine, but also gave everyone a subsidy. Because I followed Mr. Han's instructions
I ordered a furnace to be built, so I can get a subsidy of ten taels of silver this time."
"How much?" Heizi's father looked at him with wide eyes.
His mother also looked in disbelief.
"Ten taels of silver, absolutely true."
Heizi smiled proudly, stretched out his palm, spread his fingers, and repeated it twice.
"Where's the money?" Lao Hei asked quickly in surprise.
"Yes, where's the money?" Mom, who was a little slow, asked Heizi.
Heizi suddenly laughed dryly. The money hadn't been given to him yet, and he couldn't get it out now.
"The money has not been distributed yet. I heard Mr. Huang said that the money will not be distributed until everything is completed. Therefore, everyone is very motivated now and is eager to go to work early tomorrow morning."
If you finish it one day earlier, you will naturally get the money one day earlier.
Everyone understands this truth.
Seeing that what Heizi said did not seem to be false, and considering Mr. Han's good reputation in the past, Lao Hei also believed Heizi's words.
He also believed that this was a done deal, so he did not continue to press.
On the contrary, it was Heizi's mother who saw that Heizi was just talking empty words. She was so surprised just now, but now she is so disappointed. She couldn't help but mutter, "I said it but didn't give it back. Isn't this a joke?"
Heizi heard this and was about to explain to his mother.
However, Lao Hei snorted coldly and said something to her, "What do you, a woman, know?"
Heiziniang didn't dare to reply, so she got up angrily and went to the meeting room.
Heizi couldn't say anything more, so he reached out and touched Meazi's carrot head, changed the subject, and said: "Dad, I feel that being a craftsman is quite good now, why don't we just let Meazi become a craftsman as well. I want Meazi to be a craftsman."
It’s a bit too much money to turn Yazi into a farmer. It’s not that I’m reluctant to spend money on Yazi, but the important thing is that the money is not worth it. Even if Yazi becomes a private household, so what?
It seems that some households are having a very difficult time."
Lao Hei glanced at Heizi, sneered and snorted, "Do you think craftsmen's households are better than private households?"
Heizi nodded, "Aren't I just very good now? I know I am not knowledgeable, but Mr. Han is finally knowledgeable. Mr. Han often says that the life of a craftsman will get better and better in the future."
Not only does the banknote bureau provide meals, but they also receive a monthly salary. If Han Du gives out a subsidy of ten taels at a time, it only happens once a year, and it is better than digging for food in the soil.
, much stronger.
Lao Hei sighed and said to Heizi: "You have caught up, you know? You think you are living well now because you met a good official like Mr. Han. But there are so many good officials in this world.
How many? Can you meet one more casually? What should you do if you don't meet a good official like Mr. Han next time?"
"Have you forgotten what kind of life you lived before Mr. Han came to your place? And Mr. Han is an official after all. Since he is an official, he will always leave and always look for
Damn it, he can't stay in the position of Bao Chao Ti Ju Si for the rest of his life. Have you ever thought about what you would do if Mr. Han leaves one day?"
"I..." Heizi frowned and wanted to refute his father's words, but he couldn't say a word.
In the end, Heizi had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, then let it be yours, dad. When my subsidy comes out, you can change the household for Meazi."
Changing households is not simple. Not only do you have to make money to clear the relationship, but you also need to find a private household to meet Meazi and adopt her. Of course, ordinary people are not idiots. They cannot spend their hard-earned money and also need to
Give the children you have worked so hard to raise to others.
In situations like household transfer, the people you usually look for are people of the same race and clan, and they should also be very close-knit families.
At that time, although Meiko was apparently adopted to someone else, in fact, she was still in Kuroko's house.
I just borrowed a name from someone else.
But if the opponent takes the certificate of adoption of the child from the government and goes to court with the Heizi family, the Heizi family will definitely lose.
Therefore, when choosing someone, you will only choose the one you absolutely trust.
His father looked at Heizi and nodded slightly, with a teachable smile on his face.
He continued to talk to Heizi slyly: "And you don't have to worry. In this world, it is difficult to turn a craftsman household into a civilian household, but it is very easy to turn a civilian household into a craftsman household. If the craftsman household turns out to be what you said in the future, it will be better than the civilian household.
If so, can you teach your brother again? As long as he learns the craft, turning into a craftsman is just a matter of words?"
Heizi's dad showed his cleverness and the idea of hedging his bets, and his method was really feasible.
After hearing his father's plan, Heizi felt that this was safer, so he stopped insisting and decided to do as his father said.
This time the Ministry of Works was very efficient, and the money was brought to the Banknote Collection Department the next day.
From that day on, the craftsmen of the Banknote Bureau were as busy as a top being whipped by a whip.
If you want to cast the rough embryo of a waist knife, you need to use the corresponding sand mold. What if you don't have a sand mold? You can only make it yourself.
Fortunately, the sand mold for the rail has already been made once. The mold for the rail is much more complicated than the mold for the waist knife. Now it is a piece of cake for the craftsmen of the Banknote Bureau to make this.
But no matter how small the dish is, it still needs to be eaten with one chopstick.
No matter how simple the sand mold of the waist knife is, it still needs a craftsman to make it.
There was no other way, so Han Du had to squeeze out some craftsmen and work hard.
Fortunately, there must be brave men under the heavy rewards. Faced with the subsidies promised by Han Du, the craftsmen had no complaints and were all very motivated.
In just four days, a thousand waist knife sand molds were neatly placed in front of Han Du.
The next thing is simple, just follow the step-by-step process like casting rails.
In less than ten days, the rough embryos of 50,000 waist knives were cast. So Han Du notified the Ministry of Industry to send someone to receive them.
Xue Xiang attaches great importance to these waist knives, which are related to the war preparations of his Ministry of Industry. Although Han Du took over the production of these waist knives in front of the emperor, if Han Du cannot get them out in the end.
Not only is Han Du going to be settled by Lao Zhu, but Xue Xiang is also unable to escape.
Therefore, as soon as Xue Xiang got the news, he personally took the manpower to count and receive it.
Han Du had been waiting at the banknote bureau early. As soon as Xue Xiang arrived, he enthusiastically invited Xue Xiang in.
When he came to the place where the waist knives were piled up, looking at the neatly stacked waist knives, Xue Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the quantity looks good, but I don't know the quality. I wonder if Mr. Han is willing to let me try it?"
Han Du was confident about the quality of the waist knife and said with a smile, "Excuse me, sir."
Xue Xiang was not polite to Han Du and responded with a smile. Of course, it was impossible for him to try it himself. He waved his hand behind him, and naturally his subordinates came forward to conduct professional tests.
Quality inspection is naturally not something that can be accomplished in a snap. During this period of time, Xue Xiang cannot wait here.
Therefore, Han Du warmly invited Xue Xiang to look around in the banknote bureau to pass the time.
It happened that Xue Xiang was also very interested in this banknote bureau, so at Han Du's invitation, he happily went along.
