Before going to work the next morning, several people told Xue Wenhan the results of their deliberations. Except for Su Rihui who changed from looking at a shop to learning carpentry, everyone else remained the same.

Su Rihui didn't want to change on his own, what he wanted to do most was to watch the shop—to make money.

But his father, Eminem, and even his brother and good-tempered sister-in-law disagreed with his choice, and they all thought that learning carpentry would be more promising-because carpentry is a technical job.

If you have learned it, you can do it for a lifetime, but you can look at the shop...you can look at the shop when you are young, but it is not good to look at the shop when you are older.

Therefore, he was ordered to choose a more "promising" carpenter.

Seeing him pouting his mouth capable of hanging oil lamps, Xue Wenhan probably guessed what happened, smiled, asked the others to practice first, and asked him: "Do you want to learn carpentry?"

"I want to visit the shop, but my mother and father won't let me." After these days, Su Rihui was no longer so afraid of Xue Wenhan, and immediately sued Xue Wenhan when he heard Xue Wenhan's question.

Trying to get Xue Wenhan to help him convince his father and mother: "Fifth brother-in-law, you can tell my father and mother, let me go to the shop... I will work very hard to sell things when I go, talk to Seven Same as brother."

Xue Wenhan glanced at him, met his shining eyes, and his heart flashed, if Su Rihui learned carpentry from him with this mentality, he would definitely not be able to learn anything in the end.

It would embarrass him to say it.

Xue Wenhan would never allow such a thing to happen.

Turning sideways, hooked the stool next to him, brought it over, sat down opposite Su Rihui, looked at Su Rihui, Xue Wenhan asked: "Why do you want to visit the shop?"

Su Rihui didn't expect Xue Wenhan to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk with him, he was taken aback for a moment, and instead of answering Xue Wenhan's words, he lowered his head.

Xue Wenhan couldn't wait for him to answer, so he answered for him: "Do you think it's easy for your seventh brother to make money?" So he also wanted to visit the shop.

"No." Su Rihui said in a weak voice.

"Isn't it?" Xue Wenhan smiled, looked at him and asked again.

"..." Su Rihui was silent and did not answer.

Seeing him like that, Xue Wenhan didn't wait for his answer, and said directly: "Your seventh brother earns a lot, but do you know how much I earn every month?"

"...how much?" Su Rihui finally raised his head and asked Xue Wenhan.

Xue Wenhan didn't answer him directly, but asked him: "Last night I gave you Brother Seven a deposit note, did you see it?"

"I see." Su Rihui said, the deposit note said that Cai Qiang gave Xue Wenhan a deposit of 700 taels of silver.

"Now that you have seen it, you should also know that the deposit on that deposit note is 700 taels?"

"Yes." Su Rihui nodded.

"700 taels, do you know how much your seventh brother can get for the 700 taels?"

"I don't know." Su Rihui shook his head. He only knew that his seventh brother could make money. When he went to the town to accompany his seventh brother to buy Wenning dumplings and bean cakes for the full moon gift, his seventh brother casually spent money. Six taels of silver, without blinking an eye.

His seventh brother was stingy before.

When he arrived in the town, he only bought rice noodles for two renminbi, and he was reluctant to let him eat Yangchun noodles for five renminbi.

Every time he went to town with him, he could only come back hungry.

But now...

"I don't know...Let me tell you, Cai Qiang made the order from me yesterday, so your seventh brother can't get a penny, that is to say, the 700 taels are all mine. ;Of course, if Cai Qiang made the order from your seventh brother, then what he can get is 700% of 5.00 taels, which is 35 taels..."

"A lot..." Su Rihui said subconsciously.

I don't know whether it is Xue Wenhan who got the most or Su Riyue who got the most.

Xue Wenhan didn't ask, but asked him: "Then do you think I get more or your seventh brother gets more?"

Hearing Xue Wenhan's question, Su Rihui paused.

From his meal, Xue Wenhan saw that the "a lot" he said just now should refer to Su Riyue, and almost laughed angrily.

"You are many." After a long time, Su Rihui replied.

"I'm a carpenter, and your seventh brother is a shopkeeper, so do you think shopkeepers make more money?"

Su Rihui shook his head and said nothing.

It is estimated that there is a war between heaven and man in my mind.

Xue Wenhan didn't force him either.

He said, "Think about it again, I'll go and see what they do." Then he got up.

Xue Wenhan got up, and before he could walk away, Su Rihui stopped him again: "Fifth brother."

"What's wrong?" Xue Wenhan stopped and turned around.

"But there is one question I don't understand." Su Rihui said.

"What's the question?" Xue Wenhan asked, and just after he finished asking, he heard the door knock, followed by the voices of Li Hui, Zhou Shu, Xu Qiao and the others.

"Fifth brother." "Little master."

Knowing that Su Ri'an was coming, Xue Wenhan turned around, saw Su Ri'an holding the dumpling, and said to Li Hui and the others: "You are busy with your work, leave me alone."

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Xue Wenhan walked over, washed his hands, and then stretched out his hands to hug the dumpling.

Su Ri'an let go, handed the dumpling to him, and said, "It's okay, I'll just come and see you." He was really bored by himself.

"The bean cake matchmaker brought it?" Xue Wenhan raised his hand to tease the dumpling, and the dumpling laughed, looking very happy.

"No." Su Rian said, looking at the dumpling, teasing the dumpling: "Aunt Fu is taking care of the goat, and the matchmaker is going to milk the goat."

Su Ri'an said, and then looked at Xue Wenhan: "Are you busy?"

"Fortunately, it's not too busy." Xue Wenhan said.

Su Ri'an had already roughly scanned the room while he was talking, saw Su Rihui sitting alone in the corner, and asked Xue Wenhan, "What's wrong with Xiaohui?"

Sometimes when Su Douzi made a mistake, Xue Wenhan would punish Su Douzi to stand in a corner.

So seeing Su Rihui sitting alone in the corner, Su Ri'an subconsciously thought that Su Rihui had made a mistake and was punished by Xue Wenhan to stand in the corner.

"It's okay." Xue Wenhan turned his head and glanced at Su Rihui, then turned around: "I want to go to the shop, uncle and the others told him to learn carpentry, so I'll let him think about it."

"Xiaohui wants to visit the shop?" Su Ri'an asked.

Thinking of what Su Riyue told him before, that Su Rihui envied him for making a lot of money, he smiled.

"En." Su Rihui nodded, hanging his head.

No need to ask, from Su Ri'an's tone, you can tell that Su Ri'an also disagrees with his decision.

Su Rihui suddenly felt that the whole world was against him.

The whole body reveals the atmosphere of the second class who refuses to communicate.

Su Ri'an glanced at him, and then suggested: "In this case, let Xiaohui follow Brother Yue to the shop to have a look tomorrow, it happens that tomorrow is the fair, there are many people, Brother Yue and the others are busy, Xiaohui will go there Can still help."

"Go?" Xue Wenhan asked Su Rihui.

"...Go." Su Rihui hesitated and said.

"Okay." Xue Wenhan said: "It just so happens that I have something to ask your seventh brother tonight, and I will tell him when the time comes, and ask him to wait for you tomorrow."

"Okay." Su Rihui said.

Su Ri'an reached out and took the dumpling from Xue Wenhan's hand: "If you want to be busy, do it."

"I'm not busy, I'll make a cart for Wen Ning." Xue Wenhan said, pointing to the cart on the ground.

"Didn't Brother An take an order that day?" Su Ri'an asked.

"Don't do it yet."

Su Ri'an smiled and said, "Look at you."

"You take the dumplings out, the house is full of sawdust, it will be bad if the dumplings get sucked in." Xue Wenhan urged Su Rian.

Hearing Xue Wenhan's words, Su Ri'an also realized that he was careless, and quickly said "um", and left the room with the dumpling.

As soon as Su Ri'an left, Xue Wenhan greeted everyone: "Go to work."

After finishing speaking, he asked Su Rihui: "What did you want to tell me before?"

Su Rihui was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Forgot."

"Go to work if you forget." Xue Wenhan didn't hesitate, and started to do it by himself after speaking.

During lunch, Xue Wenhan brought up the matter of recruiting apprentices to Su Ri'an again, and at the same time told Su Ri'an that he wanted to build a factory at the entrance of the village, "Now Xiaohui and the others are few, they can stay at home, it's fine , but it will definitely not work if there are too many people, not to mention other things, the room is so small that it can’t fit in, and it’s too noisy, when the time comes, you and the children won’t be able to take a break.”

"That's good, but where is the entrance to the village built?" Su Ri'an was a little worried.

People in rural areas depend on the land for food, and few families are willing to sell their land to others if they are not forced to.

"It was built on the land of the uncle's house." Xue Wenhan said: "I will ask my uncle later, buy their land first, and then ask other people for a higher price. If they have children If I do, I can let their children become carpenters with me, and with the craft, they won’t be hungry even if they don’t have land, and they won’t be so reluctant to give up the land.”

"Not necessarily." Su Ri'an said, "For me, E-Mu feels that only the land is the only thing that can be assured, and he doesn't care about the rest."

This was the first time Su Ri'an mentioned his Eminem during his travels.

The tone is very calm.

—Probably because his mother had passed away for too long.

Xue Wenhan let out a "hmm" and didn't bother to mention it, just like Su Ri'an, he calmly avoided the topic of his mother: "If they don't want to, we can exchange our land with them."

"..." Su Ri'an was a little unhappy.

In fact, he also belongs to the kind of person who feels at ease only when he has land.

I always feel that if there is no land and there is a famine that year, no matter how much money there is, I will not be able to sell anything, and I will starve to death.

That's why he must farm.

But Xue Wenhan didn't think so. After seeing Su Ri'an's expression, he smiled, raised his hand and rubbed Su Ri'an's head: "Don't worry, if you are really worried, let's go to the county to sell a few loads of grain and come back Save it, is this the boss?"

"...That's fine too." Su Ri'an reluctantly agreed.

He was afraid of starving.

If he wasn't hungry, he wouldn't actually love the land that much.

"Then it's settled." Xue Wenhan said, smiling and hugging Su Ri'an: "Let's go to Uncle's house in the evening, ask Uncle whose land it is, and then buy it. After the workshop is built, we will Just choose some hard-working young people with good character and teach them how to carpent."

"It's all up to you." Su Ri'an said and leaned into Xue Wenhan's arms, and just about to reach out to hug Xue Wenhan, he heard Su Rihui shouting outside: "Fifth brother, my cup fell, do you have a cup at home? "

"..." Su Ri'an & Xue Wenhan.

Su Ri'an got up, pushed Xue Wenhan out, and gave him a wooden cup from the main room: "Here, this won't break."

Su Rihui's original cups were ceramic.

He usually pays special attention to it, but just now he got up too violently, accidentally dropped it on the ground and fell.

After dinner in the evening, Xue Wenhan and Su Ri'an left the dumplings and bean cakes to Aunt Fu, Matchmaker and Douzi, and they went to Su Shiping's house.

When I went there, Su Shiping's family had just finished eating, and Su Shiping was walking around the yard with Wen Ning in his arms.

Xue Wenhan and Su Ri'an asked, "Uncle."

Su Shiping saw the two of them, and hurriedly called them into the room: "Why are you here?"

"There is something I want to tell you." Xue Wenhan said, followed Su Shiping and sat on the chair.

Su Rian took Su Wenning from Su Shiping's hand, "Good boy, Wen Ning, come on, aunt hugs you to play."

Wen Ning is very obedient, not the kind of child who recognizes people. Su Rian not only didn't cry, but also smiled at Su Rian.

Su Rian also smiled and shaved his little nose.

Xue Wenhan told Su Shiping about the establishment of the factory. At the beginning, Su Shiping was a little hesitant. After Xue Wenhan told everything, Su Shiping immediately agreed.

He thought it was a good thing. Xue Wenhan made a contribution to the village. If everyone in the village learned how to be a carpenter, no one would be hungry in the future.

is a good thing.

So he immediately said: "You don't have to worry about the local affairs, I will help you to talk about it." After finishing speaking, he asked Xue Wenhan: "Do you have any ideas about the candidate?"

"No." Xue Wenhan said: "This matter will trouble the uncle and the uncle." Because He Jianhong came in from the outside, Xue Wenhan added an uncle.

Su Shiping didn't shirk, and asked, "How many do you want to choose?"

"Does uncle have any suggestions?" Xue Wenhan asked.

"Let's start with less." Su Shiping said: "Choose a few less people, teach them, try first, and then recruit people if the effect is good. However, a large number of young and middle-aged men just went to serve in the military in June this year, and the rest of the village There are not many young and middle-aged people."

"It should be fine." Xue Wenhan said, "Even if we want to recruit people all at once, we won't be able to recruit too many people."

"Indeed." Su Shiping said, and then asked Xue Wenhan: "Then how many people are you planning to recruit first?"

"Now there is Li Hui and Zhou Shu, plus Xiao Hui, there are three of them, let's choose three more. Try it first, and if the effect is good, then recruit."

"Okay." Su Shiping said, "Leave this to me."

"Do you want the three to follow suit?" Su Rian interjected and asked. He thought it was a good thing, and he should think of his family when it was a good thing.

"Your third brother can't do it." Before Su Shiping could answer, He Jianhong said, "Your third sister-in-law is going to take care of the baby, and Xiaohui is following your example. If your third brother leaves again, there will be no one to work at home."

"That's right." Su Ri'an gave up when he thought of the land of Su Shiping's family.

"Then please trouble uncle." Su Ri'an teased Wen Ning, and said, "It's easy to talk about other things, you must have good character."

"Can't you trust uncle?" Su Shiping scolded him.

"No, I can trust you." Su Ri'an said quickly.

It's a joke, if he dares to say that he can't believe it, he dares to promise that his uncle will not take action, and the uncle will kill him with a sharp knife.

"How about the three tree-cutters before?" The tree-cutter was also found by Su Shiping.

"Very honest." Xue Wenhan said.

"Just be honest and be honest." Su Shiping said.

Xue Wenhan took his words and said: "There is one more thing I want to tell my uncle about Xiaohui. Xiaohui wants to go to the shop. I discussed it with Brother An and asked him to go to the shop with Brother Yue first. Give it a try for two days, and then make a decision."

Su Rihui was originally in the bedroom, but when he heard Xue Wenhan's words, he quickly opened the door and ran out without even wearing shoes.

He Jianhong saw it and scolded: "What do you look like when you run out without shoes on, why don't you go back and put on your shoes."

"... Oh." Su Rihui was a little unwilling, but he turned back, quickly put on his shoes and ran out again.

As soon as I came out, I heard Su Shiping say, "They all have babies."

Su Rihui thought that Su Shiping disagreed, so he became depressed all of a sudden, and even slowed down his steps.

I feel very wronged.

But before he was wronged for a second, he heard Su Shiping say: "Just this time, let him try it and see how capable he is."

"..."

Su Rihui hummed in his heart, but he ran over happily, and said to Xue Wenhan, "Thank you, brother five."

Seeing his excitement, Su Shiping snorted.

Su Ri'an also poured cold water on him without any politeness: "If you can sell 50 taels of silver tomorrow, you can stay in the store. If you can't sell enough, you can come back obediently and learn carpentry from your fifth brother-in-law."

"50 taels of silver?" Su Rihui was particularly surprised.

Brother Wu, are you kidding me?

50 taels, that's 50 taels, not fifty renminbi.

"Why, do you think it's too much?" Seeing his appearance, Su Ri'an smiled in a good mood, and asked him, "Then how much do you think is not too much?"

The others also laughed, and all looked at Su Rihui.

Even Wen Ning's eyes fell on him.

Being stared at by so many people, Su Rihui felt a little uncomfortable. He opened his mouth several times, but he didn't make any sound.

Because he really doesn't know how much to say.

He had asked his seventh brother how much money he made a day before, but his seventh brother didn't tell him.

For this matter, he even beat his seventh brother up.

After waiting for a long time, before Su Rihui answered, Su Ri'an continued to ask: "Do you know how much your seventh brother can sell in a day?"

"How much?" Su Rihui raised his head and looked at Su Ri'an.

He also really wanted to know, but he asked, but his seventh brother didn't say anything.

"When there is an episode, the minimum is ninety, and it may be several hundred; when there is no episode, there are twenty or thirty a day."

"That's very profitable." Hearing what Su Rian said, Su Rihui didn't feel that Su Rian asked him to sell too much for 50 taels of silver.

"Good money?" Su Ri'an smiled.

So is Xue Wenhan.

After laughing, Su Ri'an said: "When I first started selling alone, I couldn't even buy 20 taels of silver. You think money is so easy to earn."

"Then why is my brother..." At the end, Su Rihui's voice could hardly be heard.

"Let's not talk about that, just go to work in the fields, do you think you can compare with the third brother? And furniture, do you compare with your fifth brother-in-law?"

"Naturally, it's incomparable." Su Rihui was a little frustrated.

Su Ri'an said: "Practice makes perfect for a technical job like farming and being a carpenter. After a long time, you will always make something famous. Selling things is not always the case. Sometimes when you meet bad-tempered customers, you will swear at them. You still have to suffer."

"Why?"

"Because they are customers, and you want to make money from them."

"..." Su Rihui.

Seeing Su Rihui's increasingly frustrated face, everyone shook their heads and smiled.

"It's not that we won't let you go, you can try it and you'll know."

"Then Xu Qiao..." Su Rihui tried to pull back: "Xu Qiao can't speak either."

"Xu Qiao is different from you." Su Ri'an said.

"Why is it different?" Xu Qiao can't speak better than him, why Xu Qiao can, but he can't.

"Because you will support your family in the future." Xue Wenhan said.

"Then Xu Qiao..." Su Rihui realized that Xu Qiao was a brother and a servant of Xue Wenhan's family, and there was no way to compare him.

Just shut up.

After closing it for a second, he vowed again, "I'm sure I can sell it for 50 taels of silver."

"!!" Su Ri'an "Then you go for it."

After finishing speaking, Su Ri'an ignored him, got up, said goodbye to Su Shiping and the others, and left Su Shiping's house. The two were going to Su Riyue's house.

Su Rihui sent them out and saw that the direction they were walking was not the direction of home, so he asked, "Fifth Brother, are you going to Seventh Brother's house?"

"Yes." Su Ri'an replied to him.

"I'll go too." Su Rihui hurriedly followed, and he wanted to follow to hear what Fifth Brother and the others were discussing.

Su Rian glanced at him, didn't speak, and let him follow.

At Su Riyue's house, Li Hui was sweeping the yard when Xue Wenhan and the others arrived. Seeing Xue Wenhan and the others come in, Li Hui quickly put down his broom and called everyone: "Fifth brother, fifth brother-in-law, come in quickly."

Su Rihui was automatically ignored.

Su Rihui wasn't angry either, he just followed up.

Su Ri'an asked, "Where's Brother Yue?"

"Go outside." The outside refers to the toilet.

A few people went in, and Su Riyue came in after a while, greeted Xue Wenhan and the others, then sat down beside Su Ri'an, and asked Xue Wenhan, "Fifth Brother, what do you want from me?"

Just now Li Hui told him that Xue Wenhan said he would come to him during the day.

"Xiaohui will follow you to the store tomorrow. You can take him to order and let him try it for two days." After Xue Wenhan finished speaking, Su Riyue glanced at Su Rihui, saw Su Rihui staring at her with piercing eyes, and shook with a smile. Shaking his head, he said, "OK."

After finishing speaking, Su Riyue turned her eyes to Xue Wenhan again.

He knew that Xue Wenhan and Su Ri'an came to him definitely not because of Su Rihui, Su Rihui was at most just incidental.

Sure enough, as soon as his eyes fell on Xue Wenhan, he heard Xue Wenhan say: "There is one more thing, that is, I discussed with your fifth brother and decided to recruit some people in the village and teach them how to make furniture. All of the furniture is sold by you and your fifth brother."

"Still recruiting apprentices?" Li Hui was a little surprised.

Although Su Riyue was surprised, she quickly calmed down and asked in a rather clear manner, "You mean that all the things they make are brought to the town and my fifth brother-in-law and I sell them?"

Xue Wenhan first replied to Li Hui: "Don't worry, no matter how many people you recruit, as long as you work hard, you won't be treated badly."

After finishing speaking, she replied to Su Riyue: "Yes, all will be sold by you and your fifth brother."

"Then what if they don't want to?" Everyone in the village sells it by themselves. He has never done anything like selling it to you. He is afraid that everyone will not accept it.

"I will make things clear when recruiting apprentices. If you don't want to, you don't want it. If you are willing to sign a contract, you will go to jail if you break the contract."

Hearing Xue Wenhan's words, Su Riyue smiled, "That's fine too.

Xue Wenhan said "hmm", "I have no problem checking this one. Now it's a matter of sales. What do you guys think?" Xue Wenhan glanced at Su Rihui before emphasizing: "Since you want to go to the shop, Xiaohui Think about it too."

"Okay." Su Rihui said, and then fell silent.

"Let me say it first." Su Riyue next to her raised her hand and said, "I think this will be very messy. The quality of the things everyone makes is different. Some people make good ones while others do not. It must not be the same. Otherwise, if the good ones are sold out, the bad ones will not be sold, and it will be bad for the shop. If the prices are not the same, it will be chaotic, especially for us who sell things, and we need to remember a lot There are a lot of prices, and if you accidentally remember them wrong, it will be a mess..."

Xue Wenhan understood what he meant, and let him continue with a "hmm".

"What's more, our store's specialty is the hairpins you make with special functions. If you change them, they won't be so attractive."

"No, I won't replace it." Xue Wenhan took his words: "The things I make will also be put in there. What I mean is to divide the store into several areas, such as four areas, one dedicated to selling the things I make , and the remaining three pieces sell the things made by Xiaohui and the others, these things are distributed according to the quality, high, medium and low, and the price is fixed."

"In this way..." Su Riyue hesitated, and said, "What if everyone doesn't do well?"

"It's all assigned to bad places, it's better to be short than to be indiscriminate."

"What, what do you mean?" Su Riyue didn't understand Xue Wenhan's Ning Que Wu Lan.

The same goes for Su Ri'an, Su Rihui, and Li Hui. They all looked at Xue Wenhan after hearing Su Riyue's words.

Xue Wenhan explained to them, that is: "I would rather be empty than use it."

"That's fine." Su Riyue nodded.

"For the type and quality of things, I will think of a way; you and your fifth brother can just think about how to sell the things. Before the store is open these days, think about it first, and write it down when you think of a good way. , Let’s hold another meeting later to summarize.”

Xue Wenhan had already explained the meaning of the word "meeting" to Su Riyue long ago.

There is no further explanation.

But Su Rihui didn't know. Hearing Xue Wenhan's words, he asked about the meaning of the meeting.

Xue Wenhan explained to him.

After hearing this, Su Rihui quickly agreed.

Su Riyue also said, "Okay." After speaking, she asked Xue Wenhan, "Then fifth brother, when will the shop open?"

"At the end of the year." Xue Wenhan said: "In the twelfth lunar month, all the work in the fields is done, and people are free, so there will be more people shopping in the town. In addition, it is almost the Chinese New Year, and it is basically at this time for everyone to change their new ones. Change, it was just right when it opened.”

"Then... if you recruit people now, you won't be able to learn anything in the twelfth lunar month, right?" Su Riyue said and glanced at Su Rihui.

Su Rihui has been away from school for almost half a year, and he only knows how to make a table and chair.

Moreover, the tables and chairs made are not so beautiful.

"Four months is no problem." Xue Wenhan said to him: "A person only needs to learn how to make one kind of furniture." They have a solid foundation and have been telling them the basics.

Just learn the basics.

It will be easier to do later.
