MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 55

morning.

Yun Chengfeng knocked on Wei Cheng's door early in the morning.

I didn't have breakfast before I came, so I had a breakfast at Wei's house, and the matter was settled after breakfast.

If you want a formula, it really doesn't work!

Wei Cheng refused this time.

"...That's resin, not real glass. The raw material is cheap, and it's impossible to sell it at a sky-high price of tens of thousands of taels of silver. Transparency is regarded as a surprise item, and glass cannot be made. The price was too high in the early stage, and after the general public promoted it, Plexiglas is an everyday item."

"However, there are different grades of goods made of resin. Lighting accessories, windows, and exquisite ornaments made of high-quality materials can be sold for more than a hundred taels. . After the promotion, you can earn sky-high prices, but you can’t do it for a single piece.”

"Candles and handmade soap are both daily necessities for people's livelihood. You can't keep the two for me, and I will have bargaining chips to exchange goods with other merchants in the future."

It means that you are a dignified young master, and you still lack this source of supply.

"..."

Yun Chengfeng was blocked and speechless.

Fortunately, if you eat breakfast in your stomach, you won't be choked and unable to eat.

After Wei Cheng's analysis, he instantly felt that candles and handmade soap were not that important.

"Handmade soap and candles, as long as there are high-quality goods, they will be given priority to me." Selling goods can also make money.

"Can!"

"I don't care about resin or anything else, this 55-5 cooperation is still the same."

Wei Cheng: "......"

"Yes!" Wei Cheng said, "The goods under Jinzhou Prefecture are sourced from my workshop. I don't care about workshops and sales in other places."

Plexiglas is just a formula, and to make exquisite handicrafts, you have to design. He is a modern person, and the designer is not as good as the ancients.

Yun Chengfeng didn't know Wei Cheng's plan, it was a trivial matter, so he agreed.

Then.

"Are you still leaving?"

"Why do you chase people away every time you come here?" Yun Chengfeng said, "By the way, why didn't you see Brother Yuan?"

The corners of Wei Cheng's mouth curled up, expressing deep meaning, and he returned to the backyard after leaving his words.

"You'll understand after you get married."

After a few breaths, Yun Chengfeng's face twitched, how could he not understand what it meant.

If Wei Cheng doesn't chase people away, he will leave.

Wei Cheng went back to the bedroom, the room was dark, the bedroom was hung with window curtains to block the sunlight from entering, the window curtains were specially made by Wei Cheng from a clothes shop, that's why there are window curtains.

The bed has two layers of curtains, and the veil hangs down, so that people who are sleeping soundly on the bed can be seen.

The veil was lifted, and Wei Cheng saw his wife was sleeping soundly, so he didn't disturb him, and leaned over to kiss her lightly. With this touch, the person on the bed waved his slender arms unconsciously, and pressed his palm against Wei Cheng's face like a fly. After waving, the strength was very gentle, and then the sleeping person muttered, as if dissatisfied with being disturbed.

Wei Cheng chuckled, not feeling being beaten by his wife, took his daughter-in-law's hand, rubbed it twice, until it became soft and fleshy, and then stuffed his hands back into the quilt, which was naked under the silk quilt.

After standing by the bed and looking at it for a while, he walked out of the bedroom lightly.

Xiao Liu waited outside the door.

Wei Cheng ordered: "I'll go to the study, the lord will wake up and tell me."

"Yes, master."

—

Qinghe Village.

"You really went to see the worker. If there is such a good thing, you are not afraid of being cheated?"

"Mother, don't worry, it won't be a lie."

"Recruit brother and girl's family, you see that apart from doing maids and handicrafts in the county, there is no job for brother and girl's family."

Zhou Qiu's mother chattered beside Zhou Qiu.

"Mother..." Zhou Qiu was very helpless and had to tell her, "Wei Ji Workshop was opened by Yuan Yuan's husband, Wei Cheng."

Zhou Qiu's mother was taken aback, "Really?!"

"Really, everyone in Yuanyuan's family knows."

"If you say it that way, it won't be a lie. Oh, why didn't you mention such a big thing to your mother." Zhou Qiu's mother remembered something, "The three Zhou Yong brothers are working in the Weicheng workshop, right?" She watched the Zhou family live a much better life than before.

"That's right, Brother Zhou Yong, Brother Zhou Shan, Brother Zhou Zheng, all work in the workshop."

It really is!

Zhou Qiu's mother's eyes lit up, and she asked tentatively, "Qiu'er, why don't you ask Brother Yuan if the workshop still recruits men...your brother..."

Zhou Qiu's mother sighed.

Zhou Qiu remained silent, not having the joy of going to see the worker.

long time-

"...Letting your brother go to work is better than spending time at home thinking about it and worrying about it all day." Zhou Qiu's mother sighed and was angry about the matter of the eldest son.

I thought that the girl was good, waiting for her eldest son, but I didn't expect it to be a piece of grass. Here, her son is hanging on to make money for her to marry her, and if he finds a good one, he will marry her. That family is really the same. .

When her eldest son learned that the girl was married, he was sad and didn't control his temper to offend his boss. Because of this, he even lost his job. Not only that, the boss also told him not to hang out in the county.

The livelihood is gone, and the woman you like marries someone else's wife, and you are even more devastated.

When the incident happened, Zhou Qiu even came to scold him, but so what.

Her elder brother liked that girl since he was a child, and would not marry unless she was the only one, and would buy things to curry favor with her when he made money. Her elder brother has a generous personality, is devoted to people, and is capable. He can't provide a rich life, but he will definitely take care of her for the rest of his life. It's true that people's hearts change as they say.

"I'll ask Yuan Yuan to see if there is any job suitable for my eldest brother."

Before Zhou Qiu went out, Zhou Qiu's mother didn't forget to remind her.

"Ask Brother Yuan, if you don't have it, don't force it, lest Brother Yuan be embarrassed."

"understood!"

Zhou Qiu went to the grocery store by bullock cart.

When she went to the grocery store, there were many people around the door of the grocery store, including young brothers and girls, married couples and wives.

Zhou Qiu also saw a few acquaintances.

Yo! That's not Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang'er!

They smiled confidently, wondering how they would react when they saw that the recruiting workshop belonged to Yuan Yuan's family.

Zhou Qiu wants to watch a play, their expressions should be very exciting.

Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xianger also saw Zhou Qiu, and Zhou Xianger said to Zhou Qiu, "Zhou Qiu, why are you here?" Her tone was disgusted and questioning.

"You guys can come, why can't I come." Zhou Qiu responded lightly.

Zhou Xianger proudly said: "The workshop recruits skilled people. Qingqing's embroidery work is the best among the girls in the village. She is beautiful and skillful. My embroidery work is not as good as Qingqing's, and she is also one of the best in the village. Your embroidery work is like a ball of mud. If you can compare with us, it would be embarrassing to come here."

Zhou Qiu: "..." Embroidery is her sore spot. However, she is in a good mood, and she doesn't care about the two girls who are smiling smugly, so you won't be able to laugh later.

Seeing that Zhou Qiu had no objection, Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xianger were even more proud. They thought that if they entered the workshop, Zhou Qiu must be defeated, and they could use this to ridicule Zhou Qiu in the future.

A timid girl in patches came over and called out to Zhou Qiu, "Miss Xiaoqiu."

"Xiaocao." Zhou Qiu exclaimed in surprise, "You're here too, why didn't I see you just now?"

Xiaocao smiled timidly, "I just..." Hiding in the corner without saying a word, Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xianger next to him shouted, "Poor ghost, stay away from me!"

Xiaocao's smile disappeared, she shrank timidly, lowered her head, and grasped the corner of her clothes with her fingers.

Zhou Qingqing yelled angrily: "The poor ghosts dare to come to see the workers, and they don't want to be disgusted by looking so poor. How could the workshop recruit such people."

Zhou Xianger said in disgust: "The fingers are all black, so dirty!"

Xiaocao clenched her teeth, suppressing her fear.

Xiaocao is timid and timid. She is from a poor household in Qinghe. Her family is very poor and she is usually hungry. Her grandparents, parents and younger brother eat wild vegetables and wild potatoes to fill their stomachs.

The family is poor, but he grew up being bullied and disliked in the village, and developed a timid and cowardly temperament. Her family is very close to Zhou Muzi's, so she only knew Zhou Qiu.

"Zhou Xianger, Zhou Qingqing shut up your stinking mouths." Zhou Qiu pulled Xiaocao, "Come on, Xiaocao, let's go in."

Zhou Qiu angrily dragged Xiaocao towards the door of the grocery store. Behind her, Zhou Xianger and Zhou Qingqing smoked angrily and watched Zhou Qiu's actions in shock.

Looking at the man standing at the door like a door god, he had a stern face, but when he saw Zhou Qiu greeted Zhou Qiu with a smile, he even let Zhou Qiu in.

This is how the same thing? !

Zhou Qiu took Xiaocao to find Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan was in the living room, and Wei Cheng was courting his wife. He poured tea, asked if he wanted pastries, and asked if he was hot. It's getting colder, but it's still hot inside.

Zhou Yuan: "...." He woke up and was angry, how could he be angry now.

"Yuan Yuan, here I come!"

The two couples looked towards the door together.

Zhou Yuan called Zhou Qiu and saw the person behind his friend, "Xiaocao?" He looked surprised, "Xiaocao, why did you come here with Xiaoqiu?"

When Xiaocao saw Zhou Yuan, she was shocked and speechless. Seeing the furnishings in the room, in her eyes, it means wealth and honor, and she doesn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Zhou Qiu pulled Xiaocao, who was afraid to sit down, and forced the person onto the seat, before she sat down, "Xiaocao is here to see the worker."

Xiao Liu poured tea for the two of them and stepped aside, Zhou Qiu said angrily, "I saw Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang'er at the door, and they actually bullied Xiaocao."

They came anyway.

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, Wei Cheng's eyes flickered slightly.

Zhou Yuan saw Xiaocao shrinking her body, "Xiaocao, you are still afraid with me, just get along as usual." He moved the snacks on the table in front of her, "Eat the cakes."

"Thank you, Brother Yuan." Xiaocao would still be a little timid in front of Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qiu, but she would be much better than outsiders.

Xiaocao didn't move, Zhou Qiu picked up the pastry and ate it, not forgetting to stuff a piece into Xiaocao's hand, Xiaocao just took a bite and didn't dare to look up.

Xiaocao has a temper, and the two are familiar with each other, so let her lower her head and eat the pastries slowly.

Zhou Yuan asked suspiciously: "Xiaoqiu, why didn't Muzi come?"

"Don't mention it." Zhou Qiu ate the pastry in his mouth, and said vaguely: "You know about Li Zhi's wife's pregnancy, and she doesn't do any work, so how can they have less work at home, Muzi said that Li Hu worked hard outside , he was afraid that he would come out to work, and Li Hu could not take good care of him, so he didn't come."

Zhou Yuan understood.

"Let's go out to screen people now, Xiaoqiu, come and help me," Zhou Yuan said.

When Zhou Qiu heard this, he was dumbfounded. "I won't......"

"I'll teach you." Zhou Yuan said to Xiaocao, "Xiaocao is here to see the work, you and Xiaoqiu will screen out the manpower later, and you will register together, and come to work in two days."

This, this...she is done.

Xiaocao immediately said excitedly: "Thank you Brother Yuan, I will do well."

Zhou Yuan asked Xiaocao to sit on the guest chair in the grocery store lobby, knowing that Xiaocao was timid, he didn't let her go out with him.

Wei Cheng let his daughter-in-law do it by herself, and didn't go out.

He went to the living room and sat by the window, from which he could see the situation outside.

Don't worry about my daughter-in-law alone!

—

The door of the grocery store.

"I remember you said that Wei Cheng liked you."

"Of course."

"People in the village say that the workshop was opened by Wei Cheng. You are so lucky that you will definitely be able to work in the workshop."

"Aren't you envious of coming, who made Wei Cheng like me. If this workshop is Wei Cheng, I will see him later, and I will definitely hint that he came to my house to propose marriage."

The other girls and brothers were even more envious, and the girl in the pink skirt standing in the middle felt complacent when she saw the envy of the others.

"Stop dreaming, Wei Cheng has already married her husband." A girl sarcastically said. "Hurry up to be a concubine, you are quite honorable."

"What——Wei Cheng got married!!" the girl in the pink skirt screamed.

The person in the pink skirt originally wanted to curry favor with her, but now there was sarcasm in his eyes, and he doubted whether her words were true.

If Wei Cheng knew, he would swear to God that he didn't know the girl in the pink skirt, and this girl was delusional. It was indeed a fantasy. All the men in the village who had even glanced at her mistakenly thought that the man had taken a fancy to her.

Xiao Liu glanced coldly, and the maids cultivated by the rich family did not dare to make a sound.

"Now start to see the job, and line up for me."

Brothers and girls hurriedly lined up.

Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qiu stood at the door.

Xiao Liu said to everyone: "This is the owner of our Weiji Workshop."

"Hello, my host!"

Seeing Zhou Yuan's demeanor, the brothers and girls in Weijia Village despised the words of the girl in the pink skirt even more. Just like her village girl, they also said that Wei Cheng liked her, which must be delusional.

The girl in the pink skirt is still a strange flower, others despised her as if they didn't see it, they just looked at Zhou Yuan with aggrieved lips, as if Wei Cheng was a heartless person, and they didn't see Wei Cheng.

Xiao Liu murmured a few words in Zhou Yuan's ear, Zhou Yuan blinked after listening, his husband still liked that pink skirt girl? Xiao Liu said that the girl in the pink skirt was imaginary, and asked if she wanted to drive her away. Zhou Yuan didn't care, and let people keep it.

"You are Zhou Yuan—"

With an abrupt shout, Zhou Xianger and Zhou Qingqing stared in disbelief.

"Oh, Zhou Qingqing, Zhou Xiang'er, I'm bad at embroidery and I'm not good at hand. I can enter the workshop, but you two are so skillful. I don't know if I can enter the workshop." Zhou Qiu said intentionally.

Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xianger gritted their teeth, their faces colorful.

Unexpectedly, the workshop was related to Zhou Yuan, Wei Ji, Wei Cheng, turned out to be the workshop of Wei Cheng's family.

They and Zhou Yuan disliked each other, and they offended Zhou Yuan repeatedly. Zhou Yuan let them enter the workshop? The workshop is 30 cents a day, if you get this job, you will be able to choose better from your husband's family in the future...  

No, we have to think of a way.

Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xianger calmed down.

Zhou Qingqing changed his expression, and said softly: "Xiang'er and I came to see the job in a serious way. Brother Yuan won't refuse. We both have top-notch handicrafts. If Brother Yuan has selfish intentions to prevent us from working Workshop, I don’t know if the workshop’s posting of the recruitment request is sincere, or if it’s just playing us.”

Zhou Xiang'er: "Qingqing, don't talk about it, I feel uncomfortable when you say it, who made us country people, if we are fooled and wasted time, we will only suffer from boredom."

"Xiang'er, it's okay, everyone is here, if it's really unfair, let's seek justice together." Zhou Qingqing looked at Zhou Yuan, "Brother Yuan is also a countryman, and we are still from the same country, so he shouldn't look down on us country people. They will be treated equally."

Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xianger's words were inciting, and the other brothers and girls were worried about talking about it.

Zhou Qiu was very angry, and wanted to tear the mouths of the two of them, but the two dared to arrange Yuan Yuan indiscriminately, and Yuan Yuan didn't say anything, just talking nonsense.

Xiao Liu sneered coldly, and raised her voice, "Our workshop recruits people fairly." It's a trick to wink, "In addition to recruiting dexterity, character is the most important thing." Xiao Liu looked at Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang'er, and said loudly, " I'm afraid that Weiji Workshop doesn't like the character of the two girls, so please leave."

The delicate faces of Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xianger twisted instantly.

Zhou Qiu listened to Shu Shuang, and the others also pointed at the two, mocking their character with winks.

"Why do you let us go—we won't go, my character is bad, and you are bad! Why is Zhou Qiu's embroidery work so bad, she can enter the workshop, it seems that Brother Yuan has selfish intentions to let her work Fang, still say it's fair!"

Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xianger lost their minds in anger and shouted.

Zhou Qiu was about to refute, she couldn't let others have a bad impression of the workshop.

Zhou Yuan took a step forward, looked down at the two of them, and said in a clear voice, "Because the workshop is run by my family, and I am the owner of the workshop. I won't hire you guys. I don't need to explain the reason in public."

Zhou Yuan looked directly at Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang'er, not angry but strict.

No matter how unwilling Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xianger were, if Zhou Yuan said what they had said to insult him in public, they would feel even more ashamed and could only walk away in embarrassment.

The delayed recruitment starts.

It was a smooth process.

List business to please, with the final decision.

A group of people waited anxiously outside.

Just as he was about to announce the list, suddenly, a woman with a haggard face rushed over and knelt in front of Zhou Yuan.

"Please, you must recruit me. I'm homeless. If I don't have a job, neither I nor my children can survive. I don't need wages, just give me and my daughter food. Please, give you kowtow-"

One is two, two is three—

"My lord, I beg you, I will also kneel down for you, and I don't want wages, as long as you give me room and board, I don't want anything."

"Me too, I can sign a permanent job for the rest of my life and work for you. Please accept me. If I don't have a job, my mother-in-law will sell the child. I have a job, so my mother-in-law dare not sell the child easily. I can accept less wages."

"..."

In this situation, he asked Xiao Liu to ask for the names of several people, and only one person was on the employment list. Zhou Yuan couldn't bear to drive people away, but it was Xiaoliu who reminded him: "Master, go to Master, he should have a way."

Zhou Yuan asked Xiao Liu to stay to comfort him, and he went in to find his husband.

Wei Cheng had a panoramic view of the situation, and when he saw the anxious-looking daughter-in-law approaching, he got up and pulled her to sit down, and passed the teacup in his hand, "I saw it all, drink a glass of water first, don't worry, I'm here."

Zhou Yuan drank the water obediently, and looked at her husband eagerly while drinking.

Wei Cheng's heart softened when he was looked at by his wife's soft eyes.

Hiring more people is a small problem.

I just don't know whether those people are really in trouble or have a purpose, which needs to be investigated.

After Zhou Yuan drank his tea, he looked at Wei Cheng eagerly. Wei Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, all of you will be recruited, but making an exception will cause dissatisfaction among others. Let those people sign long-term contracts and their wages will be reduced by half. Don't worry, if After passing the qualifications, they will be given full wages with an excuse.”

Also give him enough time to arrange for someone to investigate, if it is really difficult, he doesn't mind helping.

After hearing his husband's arrangement, Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up. This method is good, so he ran out in a hurry.

Those who were not hired, after listening to it, they were hired as an exception and paid ten cents, but they didn't want it, and it wasn't that they didn't have a meal, so how could they sign a long-term labor contract, and the salary was only ten cents.

Those people wept with joy.

Later, it was found out that either he was kicked out by the family, or the poor family had to sell someone to be a slave.

There was also a woman who gave birth to a brother and a daughter, and her in-laws were dissatisfied with selling the child. The woman had silver taels, and the family depended on her to support her. She was strong enough to protect the child.
