Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

After a pause, he said, "Master Jiu's transactions are all done in secret. When it comes to open business, his vision may not be as good as that of the experienced Manager Han."

Liu Siyu smiled. Lai Xi always spoke to her heart's content. She had also had such thoughts.

The reason for considering Jiu Ye is mainly because of his fame, hoping that he can have a certain deterrent effect.

But there is also a drawback. Although he is quite famous, he has too many shameful pasts. If he were to deal with those big families, I am afraid they would be wary.

Lai Xi's words made her completely lock on Manager Han.

For businessmen, there is no difference between doing one business and doing ten businesses. As long as the profits are considerable, they are willing to take the plunge.

The next day, under the expectant gaze of everyone, Laicai and Liu Siyu set out on the journey to Yingshan Village to become apprentices.

On the muddy road, Laicai's face showed a hint of uneasiness.

"Second sister-in-law, we didn't bring anything with us. Will Carpenter Tan really accept me?"

Liu Siyu raised her hand habitually, ready to pat Laicai on the forehead, but suddenly remembered that this was not Liu Sihan, and the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

She smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, he will definitely accept my introduction."

Sure enough, when Carpenter Tan saw Laicai, there was not a single word of criticism on his face. Instead, he welcomed him into the yard with some enthusiasm.

He pointed at a half-grown boy next to him and said, "He's also new here, from Liujiatang. You two should study hard and see who has more talent and can stay with me."

Laicai naturally greeted Carpenter Tan respectfully, then ran to say hello to the new guy.

Liu Siyu nodded with satisfaction.

"Uncle Tan, you're pretty quick. How old is your new apprentice?"

"According to your request, he must be over 12 years old. That boy is a distant relative of the baby's mother. He is already 13 years old this year."

Seeing that the boy did things in an orderly manner and did not seem to be a cunning person, Liu Siyu did not comment much.

"Uncle, I'll leave Laicai to you. I want to go around the village and see where is the best place to build a workshop."

Carpenter Tan smiled and agreed, "Why don't I go with you? There's nothing in this village that I'm not familiar with."

Liu Siyu quickly refused.

"I see you're quite busy, so I'm just looking around today. I'll come back to discuss it with you when I find something I like."

Carpenter Tan is a straightforward person.

Especially when I saw Liu Siyu being so decisive and efficient. She just said she wanted to build a workshop a few days ago, but she has already started to take action today. I admire her very much.

This is very much in line with his temperament.

Under the guidance of Wang, Liu Siyu walked around the village and finally set her sights on the vacant land behind Xiao Minghu's house, leaning against the hillside.

According to Xiao Minghu, this piece of land is relatively barren and no one has bought it for the time being. It should still be the land of the imperial court.

Liu Siyu was overjoyed and told Xiao Minghu everything about building the workshop.

Xiao Minghu was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that this little girl Liu Siyu had such ambitions.

Seeing that the groundwork had been laid, Liu Siyu went straight to the point and stated the purpose of her visit.

“Uncle Xiao, I see that your income from hunting is not stable. Have you ever thought about learning some skills from Carpenter Tan?”

Xiao Minghu smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"I'm not young anymore. People take in disciples from a young age. They work for three years and learn for three years. It takes another three years to become a disciple. I've been with Xiao Qing for 10 years without any income. I can't even support my children."

Liu Siyu had naturally considered his concerns and stopped beating around the bush.

He said directly: "If you can get a fixed salary every month and learn the craft from the sandalwood craftsman, would you be willing?"

Xiao Minghu thought he had heard it wrong. He looked at Liu Siyu with doubt, and finally turned his gaze to Wang.

"This this……"

Wang had received Liu Siyu's explanation in advance, and Xiao Minghu's expression was exactly the same as what she felt when she first heard it.

She smiled and nodded.

"The woodworking workshop built by Siyu is very different from others. You watched her grow up, so just trust her."

After hearing what Wang said, Xiao Minghu finally came back to his senses from his shock.

"Well, does Carpenter Tan agree?"

Liu Siyu smiled slightly.

"You have some basic knowledge in carpentry, so Carpenter Tan will naturally not refuse you. However, since the workshop has just been built, the wages won't be too high at the beginning. It may be 300 wen per month in the first few months, and then it will gradually increase later."

Xiao Minghu was happy, and his dark red face was full of smiles.

"300 wen is already a lot. My hunting in the mountains is not stable, and I may not make that much money every month. This money should be enough for Qing'er and I to live on."

Wang understood Xiao Minghu's feelings very well. Her life was also precarious in the past, and she worried about her two children all day long.

At that time, if someone gave her a fixed income every month, enough to support a pair of children, let alone let her learn a craft, she would be happy to do it no matter how hard it was.

Thinking of this, he told everything to make Xiao Minghu happy.

"Uncle, these 300 coins are for you to raise the child. Siyu said that the workshop will provide food and accommodation, so you don't have to worry about it."

Liu Siyu also hurriedly agreed.

"Yes, my mother cooked when the workshop first started, and you know her skills."

As he spoke, he blinked his eyes and looked back and forth between Wang and Xiao Minghu.

Wang glared at Liu Siyu fiercely, but her cheeks turned red unconsciously like a ripe apple.

Xiao Minghu's face was filled with astonishment!!!

"What? The workshop also provides food and drink?"

It was the first time that Liu Siyu saw Xiao Minghu like this, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, not only will we provide food and drink, but when the workshop makes money, you and Xiao Qing will live better and better. In two years, it is not impossible to transform these thatched houses into large blue brick and tile houses."

Xiao Minghu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. This was simply a fantasy to him! He had never dared to have such a luxury.

Seeing Liu Siyu's sincere words, Xiao Minghu also began to get excited.

If there really is a blue brick and tile house, then this house should have a hostess.

He couldn't help but think of Wang's gentle look when she was mending his clothes. A warm feeling surged in his heart and a hint of affection flashed in his excited eyes.

When Xiao Minghu raised his eyes, his eyes met Wang's, and they smiled at each other.

Xiao Minghu's ears couldn't help but feel slightly warm.

However, Liu Siyu, the "light bulb", was "shining brightly" on the side and did not feel embarrassed at all.

She was like a curious observer, taking in the subtle sparks between the two.

There was a playful and inquiring smile on his face, as if he was digging deep into the secrets between the two people.

Xiao Qing has always been well-behaved and sensible, and never interrupts adults when they are talking.

But at this moment he couldn't suppress his inner excitement. He held Liu Siyu's arm tightly and rested his head on her shoulder like a docile kitten.

She said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Siyu. Not only did you allow my father to resume his old job as a carpenter, but you also gave my family hope. As people often say, you are our family's great benefactor!"
