When the carpenter apprentices saw such lifelike paintings, their eyes immediately widened.
As they kept reading, their breathing became heavier.
I didn't look at them for a while, and my cheeks turned red.
Wu Zhi took a look and saw that these apprentices and their bosses were so excited about the sketches that they even stopped working.
Suddenly I felt a little anxious.
Because he is still waiting for the store to open. If these exquisite wooden boxes cannot be made, how can he sell them?
"Hey, you guys, do you still have some professional ethics?"
"I'm still waiting for you to make these wooden boxes for urgent use. If you like to see them, then wait until you carve patterns on the boxes and take a closer look."
When all the apprentices heard what Wu Zhi said, they immediately felt a little embarrassed.
However, Wu Zhi also expressed his understanding of their behavior.
After all, Wu Zhi was also very hungry when he first came into contact with these things.
And these apprentices are almost the same age as him.
So the desire for these things is understandable.
"I need you now to build 216 fist-sized sandalwood boxes with very exquisite shapes as quickly as possible."
"And carve these erotic pictures on the front of each sandalwood box."
"Remember, there is only one picture engraved on a box."
"And the patterns engraved on each box must be different."
"In this way, if the 216 boxes are put together, there will be exactly two sets of erotic pictures."
"You should do it as soon as possible. If the speed of making these sandalwood boxes with erotic pictures can satisfy me, then I will have another reward."
At the beginning, when Wu Zhi was discussing the production and material costs with the carpentry workshop owner, the price mentioned was five taels of silver each.
However, when the owner of the carpentry workshop saw these 108 erotic pictures in different postures, he became obsessed with these erotic pictures.
So he took the initiative to bargain with Wu Zhi. If he could give him these 108 erotic pictures, he would be willing to make these sandalwood boxes for him at a unit price of two taels of silver.
When Wu Zhi heard this, he was naturally very happy.
Because there was no use in keeping those erotic pictures for himself, he agreed to the boss's request.
Wu Zhi agreed with the carpentry workshop owner that the delivery date would be three days later.
At the same time, Wu Zhi can also use these three days to renovate his new store.
At the very least, a stage should be set up in front of the store so that the gang of brothel girls can sing and dance on stage during the official promotion.
At the same time, his store also needs to create a plaque.
Of course, he did not hesitate to leave these tasks to the apprentices in the carpentry workshop.
All the apprentices also have a good impression of the boss in front of them who is both easy to talk and generous.
So at this time, he worked extremely hard to do the work he was asked to do.
During this period, Wu Zhi recruited a shopkeeper and three assistants for the yet-to-open Longhu Tang.
The shopkeeper's surname is Sun and he is in his early forties.
He is slightly thin, has a mustache, and is extremely kind-hearted.
That image is similar to that of many masters in county government offices.
The three young guys were all around seventeen or eighteen years old.
Coming from a poor background, they work extremely hard.
In less than an hour, the two-story shop was cleaned up.
The shopkeeper named Sun, for the convenience of memory, simply called the three clerks: Sun Lao Da, Sun Lao Er, and Sun Lao San.
And Wu Zhi's positioning for the three clerks was not just clerks.
He also gave them the job of salesmen.
The basic salary set for them is one tael of silver per person per month.
And under their promotion, every time a Weiye is sold, they will be given a commission of one hundred cents.
As for shopkeeper Sun, his monthly basic salary is five taels of silver, and he also gets commissions.
As for the commission method, the three young men will also give him a commission of one hundred cents for every Wei Ye they sell.
And there is no upper limit to the setting of these rewards.
If those three guys were capable, they could make several taels of silver in one day.
You must know that during this period, the living expenses of a most ordinary family of three for a month was only more than two taels.
This novel reward model was something that Shopkeeper Sun had never heard of before.
Even so, he also knows that the higher the monthly turnover, the higher his commission will be.
Therefore, Wu Zhi didn't need to say anything, shopkeeper Sun tried every means to sell more Wei Ye in the store.
These three days passed by in a flash.
When Wu Zhi led the three guys to the carpentry workshop.
The carpentry apprentices have already finished making these sandalwood boxes, signboards and stands.
What made Wu Zhi most satisfied were the erotic pictures engraved on the sandalwood boxes.
The expressions in every erotic painting are extremely vivid.
While Wu Zhi secretly admired their craftsmanship, he also couldn't help but exclaim that these apprentices observed how carefully they were working.
Wu Zhi is naturally very satisfied with their on-time delivery.
So he generously gave them ten taels of silver as a reward for delivering the goods on time.
Afterwards, Wu Zhi and the three guys returned to the shop with these things.
Wu Zhi was responsible for hanging the plaque, while shopkeeper Sun was responsible for placing the wooden stage at the door for use tomorrow morning.
As for the three boys, Wu Zhi assigned them a good job.
That is to put those great masters who have been made long ago into those sandalwood boxes engraved with erotic pictures.
There are four in a box.
The three young men were quite interested in the job assigned by Wu Zhi.
Without waiting for Wu Zhi to say more, he neatly placed those great men in each sandalwood box.
In a short time, these three guys finished the work assigned by Wu Zhi.
But the three of them were still extremely excited and gathered around the boxes, looking at the erotic pictures on them carefully and in a daze.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zhi couldn't help but thought to himself, if I let them do this, am I suspected of teaching bad children?
But after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
Because people in this era are generally precocious. Young men like these are still unmarried when they are sixteen or seventeen years old. They are already late in marriage and late in childbearing.
Under normal circumstances, during this period, the age of getting married and having children is reached at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
