The biting cold wind blew through Qinjiazhuang, but it could not take away the high energy of everyone. Those who fell trees, paved roads, burned charcoal, burned bricks, and dug kilns were all busy and enthusiastic, even the half-year-old children
Don't be idle either, follow the adults and do what you can, with light in your eyes.
The convoy transporting coal returned with great force and laughter echoed throughout Qinjiazhuang.
Qin Huaidao and He'er left the ancestral hall and came to the place where coal and soil were piled to watch the excitement. When they saw Xue Rengui coming on horseback, Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up and he went up to him and asked, "Brother Xue, is the journey going smoothly?"
"I met you, young master. It was a smooth journey." Xue Rengui got off his horse and said with clasped fists.
Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief: "Hello there, I have something to discuss with Brother Xue."
"Young Master, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
"I'm going to sell Luo Han Guo in Chang'an East Market, but I need one person to take care of it. Can I let my sister-in-law go there?"
When Xue Rengui heard that he was looking at the shop, he said worriedly: "Is this possible? Don't harm the young master's livelihood."
"It's just selling something, it's very simple, but it's a bit inappropriate for my sister-in-law to be exposed."
"I'm a poor and lowly family. I used to go to the county with Xue to sell food, but I'm familiar with it. I went to school for a few years, and I have no problem with reading and keeping accounts. If the young master thinks it's suitable, then that's no problem. I'll go and talk to her."
Just say it, it's boring to sit around at home all day, it would be better to have something to do." Xue Rengui said with some gratitude.
"It's best. I'll pay you five taels of silver a month and get one cent as dividend. Do you think that's okay?" Qin Huaidao asked. The matter of remuneration is quite sensitive, so it would be better to make it clear in advance.
When Xue Rengui heard about five taels of silver, he quickly said: "No, no, it's too much. The shopkeepers in Chang'an City heard that the maximum is only about one tael. It breaks the rules and is inappropriate."
He'er smiled brightly and said, "Brother Xue doesn't know, right? The young master's fairy fruit costs two taels of silver each. How much does it cost to sell it for that much? One penny of dividends is a big deal."
Xue Rengui's face changed drastically when he heard this. Xue Rengui had a rough idea of how much Luo Han Guo was left. If it was really two taels of silver each, it would be a profit of one hundred thousand, and 10% would be ten thousand. This silver was hot to hold, and he became even more panicked, and said quickly:
"Young Master, this won't work. We can't ask for the dividends."
"Just treat it as a dividend for you. Follow me through life and death. No one will question it." Qin Huaidao explained. Seeing what Xue Rengui wanted to say, he interrupted: "Brother Xue, don't say any more. It's settled. If it's too little,
It can be increased, we will discuss it."
"No, no, isn't Xue a person who doesn't know how high the heaven and the earth are? You can't be ignorant of your conscience, it's too much, and Xue can't bear it." Xue Rengui explained quickly.
Qin Huaidao was worried about how to repay Xue Rengui. 10% was not much, but it would be difficult to lead more teams. He would put the briquettes in the shop and sell them, so that he could give Xue Rengui a little more. This is a critical moment.
Go up, you must win over people who can save lives. Talents are the most expensive. He immediately said: "It's settled over there, Brother Xue can't refuse anymore."
Seeing that Qin Huaidao's tone was firm and unquestionable, Xue Rengui felt moved in his heart.
The two chatted briefly for a while, and when the convoy finished unloading the coal, Qin Huaidao asked everyone to help transport the pistachios back to Chang'an City. It was a convenient road trip, and there were many cars. No one was embarrassed to ask for money, but Qin Huaidao didn't like to take advantage of others.
, he still asked Jia Youcai to give him an extra penny when he settled the bill.
This small gesture moved everyone so much that they secretly made up their minds to work hard to get goods in return.
The convoy came to a stop at the entrance of the Dongshi store. Everyone helped unload the goods without any instructions and carried them to the backyard of the store to put them away. Then they all drove home.
Qin Huaidao was about to clean up, but he didn't expect Yu Zhang to come in person with a group of people, claiming to help with the cleaning, and also followed by several carriages pulling various furniture.
This friendship is very important, Qin Huaidao kept it in mind, and arranged for everyone to clean and place furniture. A large shelf was placed against the wall, and a counter divided the room into two. Several tables and chairs were placed at the door for the convenience of guests.
The seats you sit on when you come in are all made of good wood and are of great value.
The status of the princess is high and she cannot appear in public for too long, as she will be criticized by others. When Yuzhang saw that it was almost done, he hurried back with his people. Qin Huaidao saw a Qianniu Guard passing by, and the leader knew him, so he stepped forward to give a few words and asked everyone to help.
He kept an eye on it and quietly stuffed him with a couple of silver coins.
No matter how many people dared to accept the offer, they all patted their chests and pledged their support to those who usually couldn't even fawn over you.
Qin Huaidao didn't force him to give him anything. With his identity here, no one really dared to accept him, but if he didn't give it, he would appear to be unsophisticated. Just express his attitude and I believe they would take good care of him.
"Young master, everything is packed inside." He'er happily came out of the shop and shouted.
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and warned: "People can sleep on the second floor. There is a miscellaneous room in the backyard that can be cleaned up to sleep on. The kitchen can be used for cooking. Brother Xue, please go back to your house and pick up your sister-in-law and come over to have a look. Me and He
Let's go buy some bedding so that my sister-in-law can have a place to rest and eat."
Xue Rengui agreed and hurried away.
Dongshi is a large commercial district with all kinds of items. Qin Huaidao bought five sets of bedding, as well as various kitchen utensils, grains and oils, etc. There were so many things that it was impossible to bring them by himself, so he asked the store to arrange for a waiter to deliver them to his door.
After buying everything he needed, Qin Huaidao took He'er back to the shop and saw Xue Rengui and Liu coming out with smiles on their faces, knowing that the matter was done.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your help." Qin Huaidao stepped forward and saluted.
Mrs. Liu quickly returned the gift and said gratefully: "Xue Lang has already said everything. Thank you for your trust in me, but my ability is not enough. I might ruin my business."
"It's okay. I'm just selling some fruit. Just do the cashier. It's not complicated. As for accounting, I'll let He'er teach you a brand new method. Just follow it. It's also very simple. My sister-in-law can live in the store in the future, too.
When you return home, someone will send you your food and accommodation expenses right away. In addition, I can recruit more people to help you and keep you company."
"Thank you for your concern, young master. Does the shop need many people?" Ms. Liu asked.
"If you need it in the future, my sister-in-law will hire her own staff, as long as she sees fit. The wages will be fifty cents a month, including food and accommodation, and three meals. The food is better, and it won't cost much. The upstairs is empty, so I'll give it to you."
There's enough room for a few people to sleep on the floor, and there's a kitchen for food, so just find someone to cook it."
When Mrs. Liu heard that the treatment was so good, she was not worried about not being able to recruit people at all, and she could do a lot more easily. She asked: "You don't need to find extra people, you can just take turns. How many should you recruit first? Please let me know, young master."
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "First find three young ladies to help you, and then find two errands. If the guests need more time, they can help deliver them to your door. If there are not enough people, you can add more. You can figure it out."
"Remember it, sister He'er, will you teach me how to keep accounts tonight?" Ms. Liu said and looked at He'er.
"Okay, the young master's accounting method is so magical that no one else can understand it." He'er said excitedly, as if he had obtained some treasure.
Liu was very miraculous when he heard it. Isn't it a precious secret? How can it be spread casually? He couldn't help but look at Qin Huaidao and saw that Qin Huaidao didn't care at all and was chatting with Xue Rengui. He suddenly realized that this was treating his man as a real man.
I felt like a confidant, my heart felt warm, and I vowed to myself that I would take good care of the shop.
"Brother, it's great to be here." A voice came.
Qin Huaidao turned around and saw that it was Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo stepped forward quickly, handed over a letter and whispered: "I don't know who threw it into the Supervisory Mansion. It was given to you. It looked weird. I heard someone said you were here, so I hurriedly sent it."
