The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

The families who had taken the grain home were very happy. For farmers, grain was their lifeblood, and the grateful families were grateful to the Su and Zhou families for taking the lead in collecting the grain.

In fact, when the old farmers sensed that the weather had gotten colder earlier this year than in previous years, they knew it was time to harvest the crops. Even without the Su family's lead, they would have harvested them, just a few days later.

The Su and Zhou families took the lead and strengthened their decision to harvest the crops early. People who understand know the importance of these few days early. If it weren't for these few days early, it might snow and the crops in the fields would be left unharvested. If that happened, I'm afraid there would be more families who didn't harvest their crops.

When the weather turned cold, people in Nanxi Village experienced the benefits of kangs.

As soon as the first snow stopped, Su An went to find Zhou Lizheng and told him his plan: "Dad, my family plans to take the strong laborers in the village to go out and build kangs for others. I think it will be very cold this winter. While the weather is not so cold now, I think I can make some money by building kangs. This will make life easier for everyone in winter, but we will definitely suffer hardships."

Zhou Lizheng became excited when he heard this. He had really experienced the benefits of the kang in the past two days. The kang was not only warm, but also kept warm for a long time. It could basically stay warm all night long, which saved firewood compared to burning a stove. The room was much warmer because of the kang. When he lay on the kang at night, his feet, which were cold at his age, were warmed up, and his old waist was also very comfortable.

Zhou Lizheng thought Su An Dong's idea was very feasible, so he said, "This is a good idea. I support you. Just tell me what you need me to do. You are not afraid of suffering. You don't know how difficult it is for villagers to earn a little money. What I am afraid of is that you can't earn any money even if you suffer."

The more Zhou Lizheng looked at his son-in-law and nephew, the more he liked him. This guy had so many ideas for making money! He was very glad that he had obeyed and made a kang mat, and had prepared a lot of materials for making kang mats. Now it seemed that he could make a small fortune from this kang mat.

It seemed that this deal was given from the Su family to the Zhou family. Zhou Lizheng knew all about this and he remembered this friendship.

Zhou Lizheng's approval was within Su Andong's expectations: "Then let the eldest brother, the second brother, and my brothers take a few people each. We will go in batches to different places, so as not to steal each other's business."

Zhou Lizheng looked at Su Andong with admiration, thinking: This kid has many ideas. Suddenly, he thought of a key point: "Anton! This kang needs adobe bricks. Not many families have ready-made adobe bricks at home. Now that the weather has turned cold, I am afraid that these adobe bricks will be difficult to make."

"It's OK. We use fire to dry the adobe bricks. Besides, if you have the means, rich families can use bricks. Bricks are even better! We use adobe bricks to save money."

When Zhou Lizheng heard this, he felt relieved and said, "Okay, I'll gather the heads of each family tonight to discuss this."

Su An Dong told Zhou Lizheng his idea again: "Dad, tell them in advance that they must follow the arrangements after going out and not act on their own. Choose a leader in each couple, and he will have the final say when they go out, and the others must obey. In addition, we should also agree in advance on how much to charge for a kang, and we will unify the price. This will prevent each other from undercutting each other and causing some malicious competition."

Zhou Lizheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that what Su Anton said made sense. "Don't worry, I will explain all this to them."

Zhou Lizheng still has a certain amount of prestige in Nanxi Village, and most villagers still listen to what he says. But every village is bound to have those who don't listen.

In the evening, Zhou Lizheng summoned the heads of each family.

Zhou Lizheng first expressed his thoughts: "I am here to talk to you about the kang. I believe that most of the families here have already built a kang! Those who don't have one are probably using an abacus! You should all know that the kang is the craft of the Su family. Let's not worry about whether there is this craft in the north, but here, it is a unique craft. If you disagree with what I said, you can speak up."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Lizheng glanced at everyone present.

The people in the room looked at each other, and no one said anything against it.

No one is stupid, even if they have some small thoughts, they don't want to be the first one to come out. Besides, it is indeed the Su family's craftsmanship, and the Su family also teaches it to those who want to learn for free, without charging any fees. You have already learned it, and you have already picked up the bargain, so why say something offensive.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhou Lizheng continued, "The Su family not only teaches everyone how to build a kang for free, but also wants to use the kang-building skills to help everyone make money."

When everyone heard this, they became a little uneasy. How to make money? They began to whisper.

Zhou Lizheng looked at the people whispering, stopped talking, sat there, picked up the cup of water beside him and started drinking.

After talking for a while, they noticed Zhou Lizheng's silence. Gradually, they realized that they were whispering to each other, and before anyone finished speaking, they displeased Zhou Lizheng, so they all stopped talking.

The room fell silent for a moment. Zhou Li was looking at the silent crowd without saying anything.

Finally, someone plucked up the courage to speak up: "Village head, please tell us. We won't talk nonsense anymore."

Zhou Lizheng raised his eyes and looked at everyone: "No more talking! Enough!"

Everyone quickly expressed their attitude and admitted their mistakes.

As a village head, Zhou knew very well that he needed to be dignified. Otherwise, how could he convince others?

Su Anton, who had been sitting next to Zhou Lizheng and had not said a word, did not expect his father-in-law to tell the villagers about this. His father-in-law had never mentioned this to him either.

Su Anton and his friends had never thought of using their skills in making kangs to earn money from the villagers. The reason they were promoting kangs so vigorously was simply because this winter was too cold and they wanted to save the people here from the cold.

He did not stop Zhou Lizheng from saying these things because he thought it was good to do so, so that the villagers would have some idea. Don't think that whatever the Su family does is right, there is no such thing as right in this world.

Zhou Lizheng continued, "Anton has come up with a plan. He takes the strong laborers in the village to build kangs for others. Several people work in pairs and go to different places. And Anton has already received many orders. What do you think? Do you want to join him?"

A few days ago, Su Anton took his brothers to the county's private school where he used to work, and built a few kangs for the school for free.

When the weather gets cold, the benefits of a kang are obvious. Many of the students in the school want to have a kang at home, and there are also relatives of the school owner. In this way, the business comes.
