Listening to her count, Xue Yu opened his eyes incredulously and asked, "so much?"
She didn't know how much. Anyway, she made a lot of canned fish. For the truck of fish the Fang family paid for, she made more than 200 cans. Zhang Man'er was responsible for the rest.
"Yes, auntie, it's a huge amount. We'll be exhausted by our hands alone. You know the foundation I bought with Xue Chuan. I'm going to build a small workshop. I'll hire about ten village women to help me. I'll take care of the workshop and you'll take care of the shop. "
Zhang Man'er mentioned the building of the workshop to her. She couldn't react when she got it, but she can't recover now.
He was surprised and said, "it's the first time I've heard of a workshop in all these villages. Brother and sister, you're really amazing. You'll certainly do something in the future. "
"Of course, it doesn't depend on whose daughter-in-law it is." Xue Chuan came over, echoed, and joined the army of counting coppers with a smile.
With his help, we can get twice the result with half the effort,
Looking at these mountains of heavy copperplates, Zhang Man'er suddenly remembered that he would kill people with money.
It's very painful to smash so many coppers on your body. If you hit a key part, such as your forehead, you won't be killed?
Some thoughts drift away, a few people as usual, will be a string of 100 copper, after half an hour of counting.
There are more than 100 strings in total, which can be converted into one or two or five pieces of silver, plus one or two pieces of silver given by the Yamen's money collector, and a few pieces of silver in the drawer. They look like three or two pieces of silver. After cutting down the cost, they make a net profit of two liang of silver.
Zhang Man'er counted it and checked it carefully. Yes, there are so many.
"Xue Chuan, auntie, we have sold three Liang silver today."
Xue Chuan was surprised by the amount of money and the huge return. He calculated quickly. It seems that earning 50 taels of silver a month is not a problem. In a year's time, all the money for the shop and decoration has come back.
This is a huge sum of money. Compared with his monthly salary of more than one or two silver, it is Zhang Man'er's daily income. Such a contrast makes him feel more stressed and feel inferior to Zhang Man'er and unworthy of her.
Generally speaking, a man who can earn one hundred Liang in his life is a rich man. According to this calculation, a year later, his little daughter-in-law is the richest man in the village.
The more he thought about it, the more pressure Xue Chuan felt.
Several people have different ideas. Zhang Man'er is still at the beginning, so he gives Xue Yu a monthly salary of one or two, plus a 2% commission.
If you sell fifty taels of silver a month, Xue Yu's salary is two taels of silver. Plus Zhang Man'er will give her welfare at the end of the year, it will be over thirty taels a year.
The rhythm of building a house a year can make Xue Yu gape just thinking about it.
The words are not neat: "sister-in-law, this is too much, it's just to give me a monthly salary, what kind of commission?"
She is very strange to the word Commission. She only listens to Zhang Man'er's analogy. If she sells 50 taels of silver a month, she can share one or two silver in addition to her monthly salary.
With so much money every month, this high salary can be compared with the housekeeper of a wealthy family.
"Auntie, this is what you deserve. Compared with when you set up a stall, the cost is five to five points. Now, it's the same as what you took before. You've paid so much. These are all your labor income."
When Xue Chuan saw that they had reached an agreement, he collected the money and locked up the shop. Then he pulled an ox cart over and saw a small figure running quickly: "third uncle, aunt, mother."
Xue Yu hugged his son, touched his head, and said: "I'm going to school. Did you come earlier today? I wanted to pick you up through your school. "
Small stone blinked a pair of black eyes, looking at the closed shop, some pity way: "you are all closed shop, I originally wanted to see what the third uncle's shop looks like?"
After going to school for a period of time, Zhang Man'er finds that Xiaoshi's temperament has changed, with a sense of scholarliness. In addition, Xue Yu's condition is good, and the clothes he sews are all fine cloth, which makes him look different from the children in the village.
After touching his forehead, Zhang Man'er said with a smile: "little stone, just like a tall and straight sapling, has grown up vigorously, just like when I first arrived at the Xue family."
The little stone who won the praise naturally cheered.
A group of people smile on the cart, happily back to the village.
On the way, Zhang Man'er took Xiaoshi's lessons on a whim and asked him to recite the Three Character Classic. It seems that he has studied it seriously in school.
Back at Xue's house, Xue Yu helps arrange dinner, while Zhang Man'er and Xue Chuan go to Xinfang to see the progress.
After ten days of construction, the outline of the new house is revealed.
Several men are busy building the wall, which is more than two meters high. Xue Yang is moving bricks there. When he sees Xue Chuan and Zhang Man'er coming, he looks at them happily.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, you're here. What's your record today?" Xue Yang asked.
This naturally asked about the business in the shop. Zhang Man'er didn't elaborate on it, but compared it with three fingers.
"So much, not bad." He laughs.
Zhang Man'er thought that he would go to see Yang Kexin today. After looking at him, he found the new shoes he was wearing: "Yo, Xue Yang, are you new cloth shoes? It looks very solid. Where did you buy it? I'll buy some pairs for Xue Chuan another day. "
It's all found out. Does the third sister-in-law's eyes need to be so bright?
Xue Yangjun's face was flushed. She was so embarrassed that she had to sip her lips and said truthfully, "yes, it was sewn for me by my own heart."
When he came back from town, he wanted to change these shoes, but they were too comfortable, just like Yang Kexin's hand touching his skin.
Thinking of her love, he was reluctant to change it, so he dressed and worked.
Anyway, he helped with some light work without damaging the cloth shoes.
This answer has opened Zhang Man'er's eyes. I can't imagine that Yang Kexin's handiwork is good, unlike her unstable needlework, let alone cloth shoes.
The shoes Xue Chuan wore were all bought in the town, and the craftsmanship was totally different.
When Yang Kexin gets married, she has to ask for advice in her spare time.
The Xue family's new house is half built. It is a courtyard with one in and two out. One courtyard is facing the shimmering river. The small arched door on the side is connected with the small workshop, and there are green rice fields nearby.
Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the whole village.
Small river, reed fluttering, clear water, the scenery here is unique.
