MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 106 Something

Chapter 106 Something

 Sold five sets of small combinations in late June. After excluding the cost of materials and labor costs, there was a surplus of seventy-two yuan.

 Half for each person, Qin Yao received thirty taels and six cents.

 There are still three small combinations on hand, and the profit in July has been stable.

Carpenter Liu bought this batch of timber in Liujia Village, and the price was a bit higher than what he sold to the timber dealer. It seems that the two of them raised the cost price and gave more profits to the villagers.

  The net profit of about 50% in late June should not be achieved in July.

Qin Yao set a profit bottom line, just keep it above 30%, so that neither she nor Liu Carpenter would be so tired, and a few more people could be paid.

After Liu Ji found out, he muttered for several days, calling Qin Yao stupid and hypocritical.

Let Qin Yao catch him and give him a private education to let him know what it means to have a sinister heart.

“Do you know most of the principles?” Qin Yao blocked him on a wooden stake in the backyard and asked disdainfully.

Liu Ji could only raise his hands to cover his face, thinking that he was going to be beaten again, and kept muttering: "That's wrong, that's wrong, I won't dare to do it next time, madam."

 Qin Yao hears such words on average twice a day, knowing that this is just someone's catchphrase, and he is not serious about solving the problem at all.

Knock his hand off with a slap and forcefully output: "If a person wants to accomplish something in one place, or implement a new decree, then this decree can only gain their support if it brings benefits to the majority of people. , thus enabling the smooth implementation of the decree.”

“In our case, the majority can refer to the majority of people, or to a certain person who holds power.”

“We are all ordinary people, we are the only one making money, and others look at us like this? Do you think it is possible?”

Liu Ji was startled. How did he know this?

Qin Yao asked him to step in. Liu Facai's family opened a water mill manufacturing factory and made a lot of money, buying a house and land. Liu Ji seemed to want to follow suit and earn a few taels of silver, so he went to beg him for a job, but He just refused to give it, "What's your mentality?"

Liu Ji remained silent. He couldn't express the thoughts that flashed through his mind.

Qin Yao sneered and patted him on the shoulder, "There are still only one-fifth of people like you in the village, if not half."

 So in order to avoid this one-fifth risk, she and Carpenter Liu had to stabilize the remaining people's hearts and minds in order to check and balance.

The business of her current water mill has improved, and it has attracted the jealousy of many villains. What might have happened if the charges hadn't been as low as they could be.

 Liu Ji frowned, why did he feel like she was scolding him?

But I still wondered: "Then why is Liu Dafu's family okay?"

"He is much stronger than most people. People can only see people and things that are slightly stronger than themselves. This is more likely to be realized for them, but if they are too strong, they will have a clear understanding of themselves. It’s impossible to surpass the other person, but instead he is worried that the other person will harm him, so he flatters him.”

Having said this, Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji meaningfully, "But as long as you obtain the meritorious service, what I just said will no longer be a problem."

“I will go to the academy to report tomorrow, so prepare well.”

Leaving these words behind, Qin Yao turned around and went back to the house. She wanted to pack up the borrowed books. When she passed by Jinshi Town tomorrow, she happened to go to Ding's house to return them.

By this time, Mr. Ding should be on his way to the capital. I don’t know if he can pass the examination in September.

After packing the borrowed books, Qin Yao went to the Liu family's old house again and asked her sisters-in-law to help look after Da Lang's four children, because she might not be able to come back from the county town tomorrow.

 The second step is to instruct the three brothers Liu Bai to continue the work of polishing the stone according to the previous specifications and dimensions. Without her help, the speed and difficulty will definitely drop. Be mentally prepared in advance. After all, this will be the norm in the future.

The three Liu Bai brothers nodded and said it was okay. They were the ones who could endure hardship the most, not to mention they earned more. Many people in the village envied them.

 In the past, labor fees were calculated on a daily basis, but now Qin Yao no longer calculates it that way. She outsources the work of grinding the stone mill, giving the three brothers Liu Bai four hundred cents for a stone mill, and they do the rest themselves.

This job is not stable. It is only needed if you have a job. If you do it as a part-time job, the income is pretty good.

　　After leaving the Liu family's old house, Qin Yao went to the houses in the village that owned cattle and asked them if they wanted to go to the town or county tomorrow and want to take a ride.

Liu Dafu's family happened to be going to the town, and he promised to take Qin Yao and his wife for a trip, and asked them to wait at the entrance of the village in advance and leave together then.

 After the negotiation was settled, Qin Yao came home.

The four brothers and sisters of Dalang gathered around them immediately. Erlang asked with concern: "Mom, when will you come back?"

Qin Yao replied: "If everything goes well, I'll go back tomorrow. If it doesn't go well, I'll come back two days later."

"But don't worry, I've already made an agreement with the old house. If you have anything to do, you can go to the old house. If you are scared at night, just ask my uncle and Jinbao to come and sleep with you. I will be back soon after I finish the work. of."

 The four children nodded obediently, but still looked very uneasy when they thought that their parents were not at home.

 Obviously, there was no adult in the family before, so they could live by themselves, but now they feel a little scared when they think about the dark night and no adult in the family.

Dalang felt annoyed by his fear. He didn’t know when he started to lose part of his ability to be independent.

 Sure enough, it was his stepmother who corrupted him! The little boy buried himself in the thin quilt angrily and thought like this.

 Different from the four children, Liu Ji is looking forward to tomorrow.

From now on, washing, cooking, going to the fields, and farming have nothing to do with him!

 Because he was so excited, Liu Ji got up early in the morning and put on his latest linen gown.

The hemp color is white, but not dead white. It is a warm off-white color. Because it is cool and cheap, it is most suitable for summer wear.

 Others wear sackcloth, which is just white. There is nothing special about it, because when you look up, they are all the same color, the same poor white body.

Because he was going to the academy, Liu Ji specially styled his hair. His long, jet-black hair was rolled up, fixed on his head with a bamboo hairpin, and covered with a square kerchief of the same color.

Because he doesn’t go out much, his skin color is not fair, but it is a color that farmers cannot cultivate, which shows his excellent bones.

A pair of peach blossom eyes are clear and moist, the nose is straight and upturned, and the lips are not thin but not thick. He is full and plump. He is wearing a white shirt, and he has an air of elegance and immortality, indifferent to fame and fortune.

Because I was afraid of getting my new clothes dirty, I carefully put on a green apron in front of me, rolled up my sleeves, and exposed two strong arms. I stood in front of the stove and kneaded the dough vigorously. Occasionally, I turned my head and raised my arms to wipe the sweat on my forehead. , the little starry eyes are fascinating.

Qin Yao opened the door and raised her eyes, suspecting that she hadn't really woken up yet.

 He stepped back into the door again, closed the door, opened it again, and opened his eyes wide.

 Wucao, Liu Laosan, you really have something!
