MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 292 Timber is lost

Qin Yao nodded, "It just so happened that the convoy came here empty. I think July is not long anyway. Next time, let the convoy deliver some of the completed book boxes to the warehouse first, so that you can get the goods faster, right?" "

Jiang Wen thought for a while and figured out that the warehouse had to be rented early or later. They were relieved to be able to get the goods in advance and agreed on the spot.

"Okay, next time you can just ask these two managers Liu to deliver the book boxes to the dock. I will arrange for someone to pick you up then. Let's order the goods on the spot. What do you think, Mrs. Qin?"

Qin Yao smiled, "Of course, but don't worry, the quality of our book boxes will definitely satisfy you."

 In this way, the factory can produce more book boxes that may be damaged during transportation to ensure delivery volume.

At the same time, it also relieves the storage pressure in the stationery factory’s warehouse. Once the goods are delivered, it has nothing to do with the stationery factory.

Jiang Wen curiously asked: "Then next time you come here, how many book boxes can you bring?"

Liu Bai, the warehouse guard, knows the amount of inventory in the warehouse best. But just as he was about to speak, Liu Fei stopped him and whispered: "Brother, please stop talking."

 Liu Bai was anxious. Qin Yao didn't know the exact amount of inventory. What if he made a mistake?

Qin Yao pretended to do some calculations and told Jiang Wen: "I can send a thousand of them next time."

Liu Bai's eyes widened instantly, and Liu Fei pinched his hand, so he couldn't help but correct him.

 Looking at Jiang Wen's satisfied eyes, Liu Baisong felt confused at the same time.

 Obviously they can produce a hundred pieces a day now. Taking into account the time required for painting and drying, they can ship 800 pieces in fifteen days.

 The next time I go to Fucheng is in late June. By then I can already take out 2,000 book boxes.

But Qin Yao said a thousand, and Jiang Wen seemed very satisfied. Isn't the more the better?

 When the meal was over and everyone dispersed, and only one family was left, Liu Bai couldn't help but ask his doubts.

 “Why don’t we tell the truth?”

Qin Yao glanced at her elder brother helplessly, "We can't be too honest, especially with these shrewd businessmen, you'd better only tell half the truth."

Liu Bai nodded to express his understanding, but still couldn't figure out why the number couldn't be overreported.

Qin Yao explained: "They are buyers, and they want both quality and quantity. They can produce two thousand book boxes in less than a month. Think about it, if we were buyers, would we also doubt the production?" Is there a problem with the quality?”

“One more thing, sometimes being too efficient is not a good thing. We have been cooperating for a long time, and we broke the agreed deadline the first time. What if they shorten our production time when we place an order next time?”

“If you say it can’t be done, others will say that it could have been done last time, too?”

“You must not break the rules you set by yourself. Do you understand now?” Qin Yao asked gently.

 Liu Bai and Liu Fei nodded to express that they had learned.

 Suddenly, a sense of inferiority arose again, and she felt that the two of them seemed to be holding Qin Yao back. She didn't understand anything, and she was the only one who had to support her, and she had to teach them how to do things.

Qin Yao quickly explained, "I want to thank you for helping me. Although nepotism is not good, I only trust you now."

 “Because we are a family, we help each other and get rich together.”

 “Okay!” The two brothers immediately got excited and shouted the slogan in unison: “Let’s get rich together!”

Qin Yao held her forehead. Fortunately, it was getting late and there was no one on the road. Otherwise, the shame would have been brought to the city.

 After resting one night at the inn, the convoy left the city early the next morning and rushed to Shopkeeper Fang’s warehouse to load the goods.

The lumber was very heavy, so Shopkeeper Fang’s clerk opened the door and left, leaving the drivers to load the wood themselves. It was busy from morning to noon before all twenty carriages were loaded. The wood that was too long was cut into two pieces on the spot to facilitate transportation on the road.

Without wasting any time, Qin Yao took the team back after lunch.

 At dusk, we arrived at the cooperative inn we had agreed on earlier. There was an open space where we could park the carriage.

Wood is worthless when it’s small, but it’s quite expensive when it’s big. It’s especially good wood for making book boxes. With so many cars put together, you can’t be careless at night.

Qin Yao arranged for four people to work in pairs, one group to watch until midnight, and the other group to watch the rest of the night. If something happened, he would take out the small gong he carried and bang it wildly to alert everyone.

Qin Yao said during the training camp that the drivers were not used to using these things for the first time.

There are so many of them and they rely on the official post house, so no one should have the courage to steal wood.

 However, I lost two of them on the first night.

Early in the morning, Liu Bai got up first to count the number of charcoal sticks loaded into each cart. When he set off from Fucheng, he had already recorded them in the small book given by Qin Yao with charcoal strips.

Each of the coachman's cars was marked with a number in black paint, corresponding to the number one by one. Starting from the outermost row, he counted only the second car, and found that the numbers did not match.

 Liu Bai thought at the time that he had counted wrongly. After all, the wood was piled on the cart board, so it was not obvious that one was missing.

So he counted it twice to make sure it was wrong, and he woke up Liu Fei, who was on duty in the middle of the night and was still catching up on his sleep, and counted again.

“Twelve.” Liu Fei counted twice and looked at his elder brother in confusion, “Is that right?”

Liu Bai shook his head with a serious expression. Liu Fei suddenly woke up from his drowsiness and was about to go to the tent at the camping site to call Qin Yao.

Liu Bai quickly caught him and said, "Finish counting first and confirm the number before talking."

Liu Fei nodded, and the two brothers checked the number together. When they reached car No. 20, they found that another rod was missing.

 “Two pieces of wood are gone?” Liu Fei couldn’t believe it.

The coachmen were all awakened by the two men's actions. The other three people on duty yesterday quickly said that they did not know and wanted to distance themselves from the relationship.

 In the end, Liu Fei had to come to Qin Yao alone and inform her of the problem of the wood being stolen.

She thought she was going to be scolded, but she never expected that Qin Yao actually yawned and said: "You and Liu Bai are the team captains. Although I am also accompanying you this time, you are the leaders. If there is a problem with the team, you two will have to do it yourself." Find a solution."

Liu Fei didn't get scolded, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the last half of Qin Yao's words. The young man's expression suddenly froze, and he was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

But he only paused for four or five seconds, and immediately ran back to find Liu Bai, whispering: "The third sister-in-law said she and we are the team captains, she is not responsible for this, let us solve it ourselves."

"Brother, what should I do? Do you want to find the lost wood?" Liu Fei was a little confused now and didn't know what to do.

He wished that Qin Yao would scold him, which would be better than what he did now.

After all, he was much older. Liu Bai calmed down and looked at the number of wood recorded in the book.

 It is true that two pieces of wood were lost, namely Car No. 2 and Car No. 20.

 Because it was a wholesale price, he didn't know how much two pieces of wood cost. But according to the market price, one piece of such good wood could be sold for five taels of silver, and two pieces would be one tael.

For ordinary farmers, if one tael of silver is lost, the whole family will have to search for it for several days and nights.
