Raising the Demon

Chapter 391 A Mysterious Big Customer
Undoubtedly, King Zhuan came to force the palace. He understood Zi Baifeng's temperament, so he went straight to the point and said, "Baifeng, Ming people don't do secret things. I am here this time to seek cooperation."

Naturally, Zi Baifeng knew that the visitor was not kind, so he did not hesitate, and said directly: "I am not short of money."

"But I have something better than your money, don't you want public relations? I'll take care of the public relations, how about it?" Zhuan Wang said.

After all, he is the king of Zhuan, the king of the vassal state, with an official status, and he cannot be ignored wherever he goes. It is indeed much better for him to come forward than the juniors.

After some haggling, the two finally reached an agreement on relatively harsh terms.

King Zhuan invested [-]% of the investment, but only [-]% of the income, and he had to help with various public relations. Even so, King Zhuan knew that he had made a lot of money, so he left happily.

King Zhuan was sent away, but two people stayed behind, He Xuwo's ​​father, Mr. He, and his younger brother, Mr. He Xuzui. He has a lot of experience and is indeed the most suitable contact right now.And after He Xuwo's ​​death, the new successor of the He family, that is, He Xuzui, must be cultivated well.

Compared to He Xuzui's unrestrained form, He Xuzui is much more shy. Seeing Zi Baifeng, he called out a little embarrassedly: "Young Lord."

"Just call me Baifeng. Your brother and I are sworn brothers, and your brother is doing it for me..." Zi Baifeng sighed, looking at Master He and his son in front of him, his heart was complicated.

Mr. He cannot be blamed for the Zhongshan sect's rebellion, but at the same time he is also to blame, but He Xuwo is innocent.

"Thank you, Young Master, for protecting my He family." Master He knew that after the Zhongshan School's catastrophe, their He family was not punished too much even though they lost power. It was indeed Zi Baifeng who did it in the middle A lot of work.

Zi Baifeng shook his head, not knowing what to say.

A few members of the Dan Guimeng came over and pulled He Su drunk to the side to chat, Zi Baifeng and Master He discussed specific cooperation matters, and in a few words, Zi Baifeng felt the extraordinaryness of Master He, and Master He did it Working in the Ministry of Industry for a lifetime, what experience can Zi Baifeng compare to?

When Zi Baifeng was discussing with Mr. He, Zijian also packed up and was ready to go out.

Putting the ax, saw, planer, and chisel back into the original body, the four little demons put them into the toolbox, and changed into a coarse cloth bunt. Zijian looked like an ordinary craftsman in a low-key manner. But Zijian drove back, he was out on business this time, and had no time to take care of Xiao Shitou.

Taxue was sitting at the door bored, and when she saw Zijian going out, she followed up, turned into her own body, and supported Ding Zijian's back, which meant to take him there.

Today Zijian really wanted to run a few more places, so he turned over and rode on Texue, and trotted away on Texue.

Xiaoshitou was very bored at home, and there were almost no peers who came with him, Xiaopan and Yan Xiaolei didn't mess around with him, and he was so bored, seeing the red drum girl's family of three going out with red drums on their backs, he hurriedly He leaned over, said a few words, and leaned beside Hong Guniang, stretched out his hand to lead Huier, and walked away together.

Then a lot of people went out one after another, and began to implement Zi Baifeng's plan to make money.

After Zijian went out, he asked a few people and went straight to the nearest labor market.

The first thing you need to build a house is carpenters and masons, and if you want to hire enough carpenters and masons, you must first find out the market in the entire city.

Riding on the snow all the way through the stone-paved street, bypassing two alleys, came to an empty field, the size of the empty field is about three to five acres, gathered many people, dressed in plaster clothes, or standing or squatting.

Seeing Zijian approaching, those who were close to him swept their eyes over, and when they saw the toolbox in Zijian's hand, they turned their eyes away again and continued chatting.

"Why isn't that big customer you mentioned coming?" a carpenter asked the mason beside him.

"You still want to go? Don't think about it." The mason sneered at the carpenter, "Yesterday even the head wearer was forced to work as a small job, and he paid the bill at night and let him go. It's not , Dai Touer is squatting there, but he has exhausted his strength today, and he will be a great worker no matter what."

"Dai Tou'er's craft can only be used as a small job? How much is the small job?" asked the carpenter.

"It's just a big customer. The price of a small worker is higher than that of other big workers. The price of a small worker is 400 renminbi, and the big worker is a tael of silver. Even the handyman has 100 renminbi."

"One day? One tael of silver? Hey, after working for a year, I can buy a house in Nanting."

"Isn't that right? I just hired a handyman yesterday. I don't have much work, and I still have 100 coins, so I've earned it. Your kid's skills don't even have half of your old man's. That's [-] coins a day, as a porter." work."

Zijian listened to their conversation, and turned his head to look in the direction of the wearer they said.

Dai Touer is a man in his 40s, with a strong build, thick hands and prominent knuckles. Beside him is a tool box. The tool box is very old, but it is well maintained. It has not been painted, but it has a thick layer. Thick patina, oily and shiny, I don't know how many years I have used it.

The toolbox is half-opened, revealing the tools inside. The handles of each tool are like this, with a bright yellow color, obviously, these tools are all rubbed by him every day.

He held a stick of dry tobacco in his hand, which was already stuffed with tobacco, but it was not lit.

Zijian walked over with his toolbox, squatted down beside him, touched his body, but found a delicate wooden box, took out a cigarette from it, put it on his nose and sniffed it. .

As soon as the box was opened, a spicy scent of tobacco wafted out. Many craftsmen are old smokers. When they smelled this completely different smell of tobacco, they immediately leaned over their heads as if being dragged by the neck. Dai Touer was no exception. He turned his head half a circle, stared at the tobacco in Zijian's hand, and asked, "What... what kind of cigarette is this?"

"The tobacco I grow myself, my son named it Laxianjun, which is a bit aggressive."

"It's very offensive..." Dai Tou'er stretched his neck, sniffing the smell, and then his eyes fell on the cigarette case in Zijian's hand, but he couldn't turn his eyes away.

His gaze was not on the cigarette, but on the cigarette case.

After the cigarette box is buckled, there is no need for glue or leather, and it is tightly buckled together, and there is no trace of the smell of smoke wafting out. His old smoker just didn't smell such a strong smell of smoke.

The cigarette case is made of ebony wood, carved with mountains, rivers and clouds, with a few strokes, but it is extremely charming.The box alone is expensive, and you can't even buy it if you want to.

"I carved it myself." Zijian smiled, threw the cigarette roll in his hand to Dai Touer, took another one from the box, and Dai Touer took out the fire folder, and helped the two of them light their cigarettes. Swallowed up.

The craftsmen around stretched their necks and smoked second-hand smoke beside them. They were so intoxicated that they wanted to die.

One cigarette, one cigarette case, the distance between the two people has been shortened a lot. Dai Touer is a person who knows the goods. Look at Zijian's toolbox, his cigarette case, and look at his hands, and you will know this person. His craftsmanship is certainly extraordinary.

"What's your brother's name?" Dai Tou'er asked.

"My surname is Zi, others call me Dajian." Zijian said, his surname is more troublesome, others can neither call him Lao Tzu, nor can he call him boy, so he can only call him by his first name, but Dai Tou Er has his own name. He nodded and said, "Brother Zi, are you here for that big customer?"

Zijian nodded. Of course he didn't come here for the so-called big customers before, but now he must find out thoroughly.Zijian said, "Brother Dai, did you go to work with me yesterday?"

"Yes, I went to help them do some small jobs. The work is not much, but the requirements are very high. The boss is very knowledgeable and has been watching from the sidelines. The 400 yuan is not easy to earn." Dai Touer said.

"Brother Dai, you can only work as a small worker?" Zijian asked, "This requirement is really not low. I heard that a big worker costs a tael of silver a day?"

"Yes, besides Dagong, there is also fine work, ten taels of silver a day, but I don't see any one up to the standard. Yesterday, three old carpenters in the south of the city were paid a tael of silver." Dai Touer was still a little unwilling , In fact, the work done by the big worker and the small worker is similar, but the requirements are higher, he guessed, "I didn't take it seriously at the beginning yesterday, if I knew it, I would have shown more..."

After hearing this, Zijian was even more surprised. What exactly was the request for?Co-authored This is the big worker as a small worker, the small worker as a handyman, and the handyman can only be a porter.

The labor market is also a place with strict hierarchy. Generally speaking, there are big workers and small workers. The apprentices who are about to leave the teacher are small workers, and the apprentices who have just been accepted are handymen. Those who have no skills at all can only work as coolies. work.Each grade has its own price, which is usually established by convention, and there is no need to negotiate the price, just say how many small workers are needed. It's a two-way selection process. Those who don't have skills don't want to pretend to be fish, but those who have skills can't be buried. Without diamonds, they dare not take on porcelain work.

While several people were talking, there was already commotion outside, and they all shouted: "Here we come, we come again, we come again!" Standing up.

Dai Tou'er reluctantly snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, put it in the toolbox, stood up as well, and said: "The big customer is here, brother, come with me."

Zijian followed Dai Touer and walked forward. It could be seen that Dai Touer was very prestigious. Let's go first!"

It can be seen that Daitouer is the leader in this market.This kind of status is actually very stable. An old carpenter has apprentices, and apprentices lead apprentices. This way, one by one, there will be a very clear relationship between superiors and inferiors. The apprentices brought out by Dai Touer are all very powerful. Naturally, the prestige here is also very high.

Zijian got his hands on it, and soon reached the front of the crowd, surrounded by people behind him.
