Chapter 058 Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey
Tang Shijin sneered.
Now that she was here, she had no intention of hiding it anymore. She took a step forward and said loudly: "There were only three or five broken ones the day before, but today there were thirty or fifty broken ones, sawn like this..." She picked up a bamboo cup,
He started directly and twisted it into a twist: "You told me this was not intentional? Who do you think you are a fool?"
The man gasped.
Others also gasped.
He Shishi, who originally wanted to say something, shrank back on the spot.
Tang Shijin threw the twisted bamboo cup on the ground: "Even if it is not intentional, it is because the craftsmanship is not good. We are paying people to do the work, not asking for help. What are you doing if you are not good at craftsmanship? Are you making trouble!"
?”
For a moment no one dared to speak.
Tang Shijin said: "Who is it? Come forward! Otherwise, no one will be paid today!"
Some people were anxious: "Why?"
Tang Shijin said: "Just because I am the boss!"
The man's face changed, he opened his mouth, and was speechless.
He Mantun was also panicked.
He never expected that Tang Shijin would dare to be so bold, so he clenched his hands and did not dare to say a word.
Tang Shijin said coldly: "No one really wants to come forward? No one knows who did it? That's fine, don't even take the wages!"
There was a child who was doing a small job. He gritted his teeth and stood up: "I know, it's He Mantun!"
He Mantun said: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Another child also stood up: "It was him, I watched it too! When I went over to hold the cup, he cut it diagonally!"
There was a sudden silence in the field.
He Mantun's face was red and swollen, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Tang Shijin glanced at him with a sneer: "He Mandun, right? Do you dare to do it or not?"
He Mantun lowered his head subconsciously and avoided her eyes: "No... I just..."
She ignored him lazily and said, "Yuanxiao, divide He Mantun's wages equally between the two children."
He Yuanxiao immediately came over to share the labor and money.
Another child said anxiously: "I watched it too!"
"It's too late!" Tang Shijin said: "What did you do earlier!"
She pointed at He Mantun: "I'm too lazy to ask you why. From today on, you don't have to come over, and your two brothers, right... None of your family members need to come over! I can't hire them."
Why do you do such a messy job!"
He Mantun was really anxious now.
Life in his family was not easy. The four grown men in his family ate like animals. No matter how much food they had, they couldn't get enough to eat. These twenty cents were very important to them... If not for the fact that several members of the family could not come, they would have wished they could have one family.
Come here, you can do it for ten cents!
He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I will pay attention tomorrow, just..." He wanted to say that you would just spare me this time, but he really couldn't say the words.
Tang Shijin interrupted him and said loudly: "No, I told you not to come, so you don't have to! There is nothing to discuss!"
She raised her voice and said word by word: "Let me say it again, this cup is for doing business with the big boss in the city, it must be done well, there is no mistake! We are paying people to do the work, not asking for help.
, it’s not something you do casually!”
"Starting from today, the first one is, He Mantun doesn't have to come to his house, and it's useless to ask anyone to intercede! The second one, starting from tomorrow, we won't count our work by days, but by cups! There are two cup makers.
Cups cost a penny, polished ones cost a penny, ten cups cost a penny! It’s up to you to do your own thing, don’t mix them together! Otherwise, it won’t be clear in the end!”
She paused for a moment: "But, only the good ones are counted. If there are any bad ones, one bad one will tip the cup upside down... In other words, if you do five good ones and five bad ones, one day
Not even a penny!"
She knew that the country people couldn't do the math, so she calculated it for them carefully.
In fact, the He family selects people who are good at work. As long as they don't work hard and work quickly, a big worker can make fifty or sixty cups a day. If two cups cost one penny, it will be more than twenty coins!
The grinder can grind one hundred, twenty or thirty cups a day, and ten cups cost one penny, which is also more than six cents!
In this way, no one needs to watch at all, everyone will work hard and pay attention to quality, saving worry and effort.
Moreover, you can also have two or three adults with one child, and you can discuss the group together. When the time comes, it will be checked and the three people will be counted together.
Country people are actually very honest. They looked down on a little girl at first, but when they really talked about it, they became very obedient.
Everyone went home.
The three brothers He Yuanxiao sent the prepared cups home, He Yuanxiao came over again with tofu, and Tang Shijin was cooking, and he was talking to her side: "The way you looked just now was so impressive, my eldest brother kept saying it when he got back.
!I have to learn to be tougher in the future!"
Tang Shijin smiled and said: "Some things, especially at the beginning, you have to be tough. If you are not tough at the beginning, you will become more and more difficult to do... I am an orphan, I have no relatives or friends, so it is very suitable for me to be the bad guy.
You He family, after all, the whole family is here, so it is not as convenient as mine."
He Yuanxiao thought about it and said, "Yeah."
Tang Shijin said: "Tomorrow's meal will be better, just give me a sweet date with a stick."
"I know, I know!" He Yuanxiao said: "Drive He Mantun away, this is called killing the chicken to show the monkey!"
Tang Shijin laughed out loud: "Yes, you are so smart! Bring the dishes out."
He Yuanxiao took the dishes out and invited Yan Baiwei and Brother Lei to eat. He asked again: "But what is He Mancun doing? It was fine before!"
"I don't know either," Tang Shijin said, "but he was delayed for so long at noon. I guess someone said something to him."
Yan Baiwei asked: "What happened again?"
He Yuanxiao immediately put down his chopsticks and taught him how to do it vividly. He then remembered and asked, "Jin'er, are you so strong? Can you even unscrew bamboo?"
Tang Shijin hummed: "Actually, the bamboo has a diagonal stripe, but I am indeed quite strong."
So after He Yuanxiao finished his meal, he squatted there and twisted the bamboo, having fun, he was so good at it.
Tang Shijin saw it and smiled without saying a word.
She had been very strong in her previous life, she had been very strong since she was a child and was good at fighting, but now she is just bigger.
She has a habit of being a Jianghu person and likes to hide her trump card. Just like back then, wealth was her biggest trump card, and she always hid it tightly.
But now, spiritual spring and space are her biggest trump cards, so she doesn't mind showing off her wealth and other little skills to seek more convenience.
Yan Baiwei said to her as if chatting: "I found that you used the word "profit" very skillfully."
Tang Shijin's mouth curved: "Excuse me."
Hahahaha in my heart! I am so proud... Yes! I am so smart!
See, that's the difference.
The silly He Yuanxiao would never be able to say such a thing, but Yan Baiwei saw through it at a glance.
Tang Shijin went over early the next morning and brought Yan Baiwei, the scarecrow, with him. He put everything to good use. Everyone was obedient and the work speed was obviously much faster. It was just that there were fewer adults and more children. It was best
Add one or two adults.
Tang Shijin was talking to Yan Baiwei when someone came over and called her outside: "Miss Tang."
He was a skinny old man. Seeing that she didn't recognize him, he said to her, "I am Mantun's father."
Tang Shijin nodded: "It turns out to be Father He."
In fact, she had already heard what Xiao Zhou said. Yesterday, he went to the tofu shop and begged for a long time. Father He never let go. He didn't expect to be here today.
He said: "What happened yesterday was because we were so confused that we almost delayed your business! But after all, we are fellow villagers, so let's spare him this time. We will naturally remember your kindness!"
