My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Chapter 163 Begins to Recruit People (Two Chapters in One)

"How many rooms do you want to rent?"

"Can you rent more?" Bai Guitang, the head of the Bai family, never expected that Erdaohe Village would be willing to rent more houses.

In his opinion, it would be nice if there was no competition at this juncture.

This is called missing this village without this shop. If things go well, you can earn a lot in a year, it depends on whether you dare to do it.

"Your family has a lot of business, I want to help you fight for it." Mrs. Xu can talk, and she is obviously helping Liu Laozhu, but she pretends to be helping the Bai family to fight for it.

"Thank you so much, sister. As long as your village is willing, it's best to have two. I'm not greedy for more, and I'm afraid it will make you difficult in the middle. But don't worry, no matter how many rooms, my Bai family will not Renting it out to others is all my own family’s business. It’s not good to avoid messing up the rules of your village.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu felt more at ease, and she was fluent in talking to people with clear eyes and minds.

Old Mrs. Xu thought to herself: Of the ten houses in the village, there is nothing to be reluctant to rent out if two of them are rented out.

On the one hand, judging from the reaction of the villagers today, there is a possibility that there will be empty houses left in the end.

That would be ugly. Others are fighting for it but they are not doing it. Alas.

On the other hand, Liu Laozhu was so short of money that he might as well spend one year's rent on infrastructure construction, which would benefit the villagers even more.Even she can use it to her advantage, so of course Mrs. Xu will make it happen.

Anyway, Liu Laozhu just wanted everyone to remember him well.

Liu Laozhu had mentioned it to her earlier on the road, saying that he would keep four rooms for himself and casually sell two rooms to get all the money back.Others don't know, but don't you know how much money we spent to buy the land?

Therefore, I had no intention of taking all ten houses and the remaining large open space as my own, leaving only four houses.

In addition, he also told her that if the land for these houses were to be divided in the future, it would be enough to leave a separate room for her Xu family, which would be worthy of the five taels of silver she originally sponsored.Conscience must be set right.

I also planned to let this matter go out of the way. I wanted to announce it at the meeting today that when I was able to buy the wasteland, the Xu family helped the village collective five taels, but Mrs. Xu herself did not agree.

What are you talking about?Her three sons should think she is short-sighted.

She couldn't even convince herself. After all, her family was once short of money, so why did she give Liu Laozhu five taels of silver for no reason.

And she couldn't tell others the truth. It was donated to the village by the family in the live broadcast room.It was so pitiful to see everyone getting injured while fighting for Jiang.

I can only stop Liu Laozhu and let my fourth uncle and seven uncles talk about it as a witness in private. Another one: "You write me an IOU."

Just write the IOU, if one day we no longer do business collectively and the people in the village are dispersed, and these land and ten houses need to be divided, you can convert it into the proportion of the money I originally invested in you, and write down that you owe me a house to the Xu family. Just carve out an extra space.

It's better to ask for something affordable than the villagers giving her a high hat.It's like taking back the kindness of the family members in the live broadcast room. If one day the village really encounters any difficulties again, she will help.

Liu Laozhu was still complaining at that time, saying why I always give you IOUs. When you owe me, I write it, and when I owe you, I still write it.

In short, this is the decision about houses and homesteads.

Mrs. Xu thought of this at this time. In fact, she had unilaterally decided to rent two rooms to the Bai family.

For development, it is best to sell everything.

The things the Bai family sells can just make up for the shortcomings of selling expensive gifts to distinguished guests in their village.

Another point is that the boy from the Bai family who can read is already a scholar. If he catches the opportunity and becomes a scholar, it will be good for the village to open a shop here.At least if the outside news is known, it will be timely.

However, Mrs. Xu didn't tell the truth. She couldn't say that I alone had the final say, and Liu Laozhu had to listen to me.

Instead, he asked, "Does the other store also sell deer antlers, bear paws, or something like that?"

Together with your Bai family, you have more bear paws than other brothers.

Mrs. Xu explained: "Don't misunderstand me, so as not to sell the same thing. Even if we are here, we still have to ask questions. I want to make it clear when I am delivering the message here."

Bai Guitang expressed his understanding and wanted to at least tell the truth to the middleman: "That's not true. If we can rent two rooms, the other one will sell furs."

Bai Guitang remembered what his youngest son said. After the mutual trade, all kinds of furs would flow in, and the furs here are already good.Find a suitable place, one sells ginseng, deer antlers, robes, bear paws and other treasures, and one specializes in selling fox, mink, leopard and rabbit furs and leathers.The merchant will take action if he catches his eye on the way back.

The Bai family originally planned to buy a shop in the town.

But a few days ago, his youngest son also said that the prices of the shops in the town had increased too much, and it was not cost-effective to buy them.In terms of benefits, it is better to go to Erdaohe Village. I always feel that the village will be extraordinary.

He asked his youngest son at that time, why was it unusual?That bastard didn't have the grace of a scholar at all, and actually said that the more jealous he was, the more unusual he was.

It just so happens that our family is not related to the Erdaohe Xu family?
The Xu family is not ordinary either.

The more people who attract secret attention, the more it means that the Xu family is special.

Dad, go and ask if you can rent a house. It would be best if it is next to Xu's house.

Just like that, when Bai Guitang heard that Mrs. Xu was finally back, he quickly brought his sister to the door.

This time, Mrs. Xu was completely relieved, and she was still smacking her tongue inwardly.

Look at the leather and deer antlers, when will our family be able to do this kind of business?

Fortunately, she doesn't feel inferior. What are we?We only have a few months of wealth, while the Bai family has a century-old family fortune.Don't be in a hurry, don't be afraid of being late for a good meal.

Mrs. Xu motioned for the Bai family to sit down for a while, "Then I'll go and call our villager. Specifically, how many rooms he can rent from your house, and how much is the rent, you can discuss."

The Bai family girl immediately answered: "Sorry to trouble you, old sister."

"Sit, sit, it's no trouble, I'm just running some errands.

I, to be honest, am really looking forward to your coming.For my family, it is convenient to buy a tank and add a jar in the future.

And your family can really sell the jars in the house. Those merchants who dropped the jars on the road can make up a bowl, and this can be replaced. "

The Bai brothers and sisters smiled and nodded in agreement.

But I thought in my heart that no one succeeds casually. The fact that the Xu family is so famous now must be related to their warm-heartedness in helping you casually.

After Mrs. Xu went out with a smile, she went to the warehouse to find Xu Laoer and Xu Tianxin, and asked them to come in to chat with the guests and drink some tea.

At that time, the uncle and nephew were squatting in front of a pile of wood and staring at each other.

Xu Tianxin looked at the half-finished wood carving, wide-eyed and encouraged, "Second uncle, the carving is very good." It was like the day when she and her grandma had just traveled through the world, they hung up the tower as a piao.

The second uncle looked at the essence through phenomena and carved out the soul.

Just stop engraving.

What she wanted was the scene of the live broadcast with her grandma sitting in front of the camera (as shown on the cover of this book). She really didn’t expect that the second uncle was carving two Ah Piao, and the mobile phone in front was carved into a cross with a fill light.

Xu Laoer asked in confusion: "What is a cross? Didn't you ask me to carve a mahogany sword in this painting?"

Well, peach wood sword, if it were chiselled on soap, I would really love this dynasty. Where is this trademark?Those who don’t know think that they are illegal and snobbish outside the country, as if they are casting a spell to scare you, and using my soap, you will have nowhere to escape.

When Mrs. Xu came in, she listened twice and couldn't help but smile and persuade:

"Bao'er, you are a good kid, but you just like to commit the same problems as those in wealthy families. You have all four eyes to cry out. Our family's conditions are not that far yet, so you have to change.

Listen to me, don't make it difficult for your second uncle to do the fine work. He has a lot of rough work waiting in the cupboard.

And if you want to say that the old man and the young man were carved into the soap by us, wouldn’t they have used us both up?We can do nothing else.

If you really want such a design, why not, as I said before, only the outer layer of paper wrapping the soap is printed with the stamp of the painting on the card. Then you have to spend money to find someone to engrave it, and we can print it ourselves.

Your second uncle can't read a word of Chinese characters. How can he do this?You think too highly of him. "

Xu Laoer: "..." Just try to persuade others, why are you criticizing them?

Xu Tianxin just listened to the advice and had a full meal. He nodded and had no choice but to do this.The second uncle has a lot of things to do, and some things are easier to do by hiring someone to carve them.Then Mrs. Xu explained her purpose of coming and whispered a few words to her second son and granddaughter.

Xu Laoer and Xu Tianxin were both surprised: "Is there money in the village?"

"This isn't just delivered to your door, it's coming soon."

"Also, Bao'er, regarding your matter, the Bai family has scholars and knows a lot of people. You can also ask about it while chatting with me."

order.

……

After Mrs. Xu left, she saw that the uncle and nephew rushed into the room, clearly dividing their duties and chatting with them.

Xu Tianxin called the girl from the Bai family, Grandma Bai, and was asking the female guest:

"Grandma Bai, have you heard of the Fragrant Mountain near us?"

The girl from the Bai family was stunned: "I have heard that spices and flowers are famously cheap there, what's the matter?"

"It's like the first time we go to get the goods. Can someone sell it to us at a good price? Don't bother us to go there. The two-day trip back and forth is wasted. The price is not much different from that in the town, so it's not worth it. , I thought I’d ask around first.”

The girl from the Bai family's eyes flashed: "Is it your family that wants to buy flowers and plants, or someone in the village that wants to buy them?"

Xu Tianxin explained that it was his own: "I still want to buy a lot."

"Oh, if your family wants to buy it..."

The girl from the Bai family looked at her eldest brother secretly, but she was helpless that her eldest brother was busy chatting with the second son of the Xu family, and they were still chatting lively.

The Bai family girl thought to herself: Then she needs her scholar nephew to help write a letter.

This girl from the Xu family really asked the right person.

Because it was Xiangshan who was rented by the family of her classmate who was very close to her nephew.

And if you don’t know someone who recommends it, it won’t be retailed at all. It will be supplied directly to the city.

The sister of the Bai family thought that the best of both worlds would be better, and she would go out with Xu's family soon after renting the house. It would be best to ask her nephew to write a letter to her.

Her nephew's classmate failed the scholar test again and again, so he often copied her nephew's notes. Considering the friendship between the two, they must be able to do it in one letter.

But Grandma Bai didn't finish her words, what if her eldest nephew didn't help.

Although this possibility is very small, the youngest nephew in her family, Monkey, has become very smart and can make friends:
"When do you plan to go to Xiangshan?"

"Leave tomorrow."

Grandma Bai didn't ask why she was in such a hurry. She was worried about what she was going to buy flowers for. Instead, she said, "Okay, wait for the letter, and I'll ask you when I get back."

I have already made up my mind. If my nephew helps write the letter, he will send a man to deliver the pot with the letter and the pot when he gets home. It happens that the Xu family wants to buy twenty stone pots, so it will not delay their trip tomorrow morning.

Xu Tianxin was very happy when he heard this.

Because there are no flowers in this season, the preparations for this year are insufficient.She still used mountain roses that she had picked at home.

If you want to go to an outside drugstore to buy a lot of flowers and plants, distill them into essential oils, and drop them into soap, even though the dosage is small, the cost will still be much higher.

The cost of making a bubble kit like Grandpa Guan did is even higher.She and Grandpa Guan studied it together.

In this way, if you can buy flowers and mint in large quantities and ship them back, 8000 yuan of saponins can save at least four or five taels of silver.

On the other side, Xu Laoer and Bai Guitang were discussing pottery water pipes.

The Bai family has a kiln factory. Bai Guitang is modest and does not own a business. He only bought shares in it a few years ago. But kilns, pottery, stone tiles and even iron are all belong to insiders regardless of family, so he must know someone in this field.

Xu Laoer was chatting with Bai Guitang as he opened the Kang mat and started drawing with wooden branches on the soil.If you look closely at what he drew, you will see that it is a three-way direct elbow of a modern water pipe, where the water pipe is connected.It’s just that it’s not common here, and it’s not called that.

Bai Yutang was surprised: "How do you know this?"

Xu Laoer said sheepishly: "I have worked as a ditch digger and I have seen this kind of thing. So I just want to ask you, is this thing expensive? If our village ordered a batch of these ceramic pipes, the cost in front of my house would probably be How much money would it cost to have two lengths from the yard to the backyard?"

Bai Guitang guessed that it was used on the side of the shop.Because most households cannot afford to bury pipes, domestic sewage is directly dumped into trenches, which is troublesome but not expensive.

He pondered for a moment: "If you dig the pipes yourself and connect the pipes to the house as you said, if you don't count the labor but only the materials, it will cost eight taels of silver."

Xu Laoer asked quickly: "What if we install a water inlet pipe at the wellhead? It's our pulley well, and the water on that side comes out of the pot in the house."

"If I find someone for you, it will cost 20 taels."

At the same time, Liu Laozhu outside Xu's house didn't dare to enter the hospital, so he almost grabbed Mrs. Xu: "We are talking about 20 taels of small thatched thatched houses. We are about to grab them. Is this okay?" That's called renting, and you have to pay it back for one year. I'm afraid I'll offend someone for nothing."

To the old lady Xu, it was not easy to come back this way. Surrounded by the villagers, she managed to break through the siege, and had to fight with Liu Laozhu again:

"Everyone will rent at this price from now on, and we won't rent to ordinary people. Just tell me, do you know how much money people can make selling a bear paw? Do you know that there is an old shabby shop in the town? Can it sell for 200 taels of silver? That’s called either not opening, or opening for half a year.”

"Why did you sell out your brother?"

So when Liu Laozhu and Mrs. Xu entered the house, they were chatting happily.

The Bai brothers and sisters were still wondering who was chatting with whom until they left.

That uncle and nephew gained a lot.

As for the rental of the Bai family, after they saw the house, they saw that the kang had been set up, the roof was very flat, and the area was large. Mrs. Xu came forward to help and even gave them a shed for tying mules and oxen in the back. , but there was no bargaining.There is only one condition: rent for two consecutive years.

Bai Guitang remembered what his youngest son said, maybe the mutual market has only been good for a few years, so can we always get used to that side?All bloody generals here will never feed the appetite of foreigners after a few years of training, and when the city gate is closed, salt and iron will be banned.He'd be better off signing for two more years.

Isn't that right? When Liu Laozhu received the rent of 40 taels, the first thing he did was angrily scold the villagers. He rented you a house for half a tael a month. Let's see how much the rent would be if he resold a house.

The second thing was that Le Diantian came to Xu's house for a small meeting: "How should I spend my money?"

Mrs. Xu said:
"You first contribute 20 taels, one outlet pipe, one water inlet pipe, and then another [-] taels to connect the pipes to a new windlass well.

It just so happens that your daughter-in-law doesn't know what to do, so let's take the bath together.

Hiring people to do the work is for hiring people, and we both earn some hot water money.The villagers all have a way to earn pocket money by taking baths and repairing their feet. "

"Didn't you say that Yusheng and the others..."

"Re-dividing, those families in Yusheng who have the ability to buy food must make meals, otherwise they won't sell food, and they all clamor to work to earn cash. Is it enough to just rely on my caravan?
I have already made a plan for them. They sell box lunches for dozens of coins each.

One family sells porridge with pies, four pies and a bowl of porridge is a [-]-cent set meal.

Lao Wan’s sells tofu meatball casserole pancakes, tofu, cabbage and potato soup pancakes, and his shop has a lot of beans.I can provide training if necessary. "

Liu Laozhu went out in a hurry again. What kind of meeting was he holding? They needed to hold another small meeting.

In addition, he hurriedly sent people to the new house to shout: "Stop now, leave three rooms free and don't repair them. You, grandma, will use cow dung and horse dung to build a castle bath outside the house."

So that night, the villagers were still looking forward to the meeting, but only Xu Tianxin stood on the stage with the list and called names: "Mai Miao..."

Mai Miao was happy, she knew that she and Tian Xin should be sisters for nothing.

"Chunxing, Hongying, Yangjiao, Erpang...whoever comes up with their names, come with me."

The mothers and grandmothers of these girls are jealous. The village committee is not as reliable as Tian Xin, a child. When people say they are hiring people, they actually announce it.
