Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

One night not long after the establishment of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Factory, He Yuzhu was sitting in the house playing with three little ones when suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Zhuzi, I'm your uncle."

When He Yuzhu heard that it was Cai Quanwu, he hurriedly opened the door and said, "Uncle, why are you here so late?" While speaking, He Yuzhu turned sideways to let Cai Quanwu walk into the house.

Cai Quanwu followed He Yuzhu into the house and sat down. He greeted the three little ones with a smile: "Big kid, second kid, third kid, hello."

"Hello, uncle." The three little guys greeted Cai Quanwu obediently.

"You three should go inside and play with your mother. I need to talk to your cousin about something." He Yuzhu said to the three little ones.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the eldest boy took the lead and ran into the house, followed by the other two little ones.

"Uncle, what's the matter that makes you rush to see me so late?" He Yuzhu asked after seeing the three little guys enter the inner room.

"Zhu Zi, I heard from people that there have been some bad things on the market recently, and they all came from the Ming Tombs in the north." Cai Quanwu said in a low voice.

Hearing what Cai Quanwu said, He Yuzhu suddenly recalled an event that was later called the greatest shame of the archaeological community in the Eastern Kingdom. The excavation of Dingling in the Ming Tombs seemed to have taken place in recent years.

"If it came from the Ming Tombs, we can only say that one of the Ming Tombs may have been opened. Alas, I don't know how many good things have been destroyed." Mr. He Yuhu said with a melancholy look on his face.

"Zhu Zi, do you think we should take this opportunity to collect some good stuff? If these were really dug out from the Ming Tombs, they would definitely be top-notch stuff." Cai Quanwu said excitedly.

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said, "If someone is selling it, you can buy it. Uncle, if you have time, you can go to the Ming Tombs. I feel that they will only care about the valuable things and discard some unimportant things, such as the golden nanmu used in the tomb passage. If there is any, you can find someone to bring it back. These things can be placed in Pianye's yard and donated to the country when conditions permit in the future."

"Zhu Zi, this is a top-notch stuff. It would be a bit of a loss to donate it to the country." Cai Quanwu advised reluctantly.

"Uncle, those things are used as burial objects in the imperial mausoleum. Regardless of whether the things are good or bad, at least the fact that they are burial objects is a bit unlucky. Moreover, they are the emperor's burial objects. If they are contaminated with something bad, you won't even have time to cry." Although He Yuzhu didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he had traveled through time, so it was better to be safe and stay away from ghosts and gods. After all, that person was one of his ancestors.

"Besides, cousin, there are many good things hidden in this city. If you see anything you like, tell me and I will buy it for you." He Yuzhu said domineeringly, patting his chest with an air of wealth.

After hearing this, Cai Quanwu quickly waved his hand to refuse: "That's not necessary. I'm not interested in those old things. Besides, I have accumulated some wealth over the years. If there is anything I want to buy, I can still afford it myself." He smiled, his eyes revealing confidence and satisfaction.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu continued to persuade him, "Then cousin, you should also get a few good things to put away. The country is just beginning to settle down, and these things are not worth much now. But after a few decades when the country is prosperous, they will be worth a lot of money. Even if you don't sell them, you can pass them on to Jianguo and Aiguo. At the same time, they can keep them for future use." He knew the value of these antiques very well, and hoped that Cai Quanwu could collect more treasures.

Cai Quanwu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Well, I understand. I will buy a few pieces when I have the chance in the future." He understood He Yuzhu's good intentions, but he was not as enthusiastic about collecting antiques as He Yuzhu. However, he also realized that these things might have a certain value in the future, so he decided to pay some attention to them.

"By the way, uncle, how is the business with Qiu Guangpu now?" He Yuzhu asked. He also remembered the business with Qiu Guangpu when he saw Cai Quanwu.

Cai Quanwu thought for a moment and replied, "Everything is still normal. We can only handle about 10,000 kilograms of grain a month. I've seen Qiu Guangpu's ability is limited. He can't handle more."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded slightly to show his understanding. Then he continued to ask: "Have you encountered any problems or difficulties?"

Cai Quanwu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, we have a pleasant cooperation. Qiu Guangpu is a very reliable person, and the transactions between us have always been smooth."

He Yuzhu nodded with confidence, and then asked: "As long as it goes smoothly, food is still a bit sensitive. You must pay attention to safety when handling it."

Cai Quanwu thought for a moment and said, "With this amount, Qiu Guangpu has made a lot of money in a month, but it would be unsafe if it was more. Someone as smart as Qiu Guangpu must understand this principle, otherwise, with Qiu Guangpu's ability, how could he make tens of thousands of kilograms of food in a month."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Qiu Guangpu is smarter than a monkey. He doesn't dare to deal in so much. He must know the benefits and disadvantages. So we can just sell the food he sends us every month."

Cai Quanwu smiled contentedly and said with emotion: "Yes, if we add 5 cents to each kilogram of grain, we can sell it immediately. This business is really a sure win."

At this time, He Yuzhu suddenly asked mysteriously: "Haha, uncle, do you know why I only let you add 5 cents per pound?"

Cai Quanwu frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Why?"

He Yuzhu smiled lightly and said slowly: "Do you really think that these grains were sold by your men? In fact, most of them were bought by themselves. I just took into consideration that our own rations might not be enough, so I asked you to set the price so low. It can be regarded as a benefit for everyone."

His voice was filled with emotion and helplessness, as if he was telling an unknown secret.

Cai Quanwu stared at He Yuzhu with wide eyes, looking at him in astonishment, and suddenly realized something. Yes, I would buy 100 grains from it every month to make up for the shortage at home, not to mention other people. After all, people eat more because they consume less fat these days. This is the case for my family, and it must be the case for other people's families as well.

Thinking of this, Cai Quanwu was deeply moved and admired He Yuzhu's approach.

"Zhu Zi, you are so thoughtful." Cai Quan praised sincerely, with gratitude flashing in his eyes.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and said earnestly: "Uncle, since he has been working with us for so long, we are all family members, so we should help him as much as possible."

Cai Quanwu nodded, secretly glad that he had such a kind, smart and capable nephew.

"Zhu Zi, I heard from Shaoan that your factory has set up a new machinery manufacturing plant. Are you the director of the machinery factory?" Cai Quanwu suddenly said.

"Yes, uncle, what's wrong?" He Yuzhu was curious why Cai Quanwu suddenly asked this.

"Shaoan wants to be a worker in this newly established machinery manufacturing factory. He said that he doesn't find his current workshop interesting, so he wants to work in the machinery manufacturing factory." Cai Quanwu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Okay, when the time comes, you can ask Shaoan to apply directly to his workshop director. In order to enable the machinery factory to start production quickly, I have specially applied to the factory to transfer a group of skilled workers from various workshops of the steel rolling mill to the machinery factory. So as long as Shaoan goes to his workshop director to apply, it should be approved smoothly. But cousin, you must tell Shaoan not to rely on your relationship with me to stop working hard. If I find out, I will not take into account the feelings of a relative at all." He Yuzhu warned Cai Quanwu.

"Zhu Zi, if Shao An really relies on his relationship with you and doesn't work hard, you can just fire him. Don't worry about my and your aunt's face." Cai Quanwu said decisively.

"It's not to the point of dismissal, and you can't just fire a worker casually. By the way, uncle, what level of fitter is Shaoan now?" He Yuzhu asked.

"I just became a regular employee last year, and passed the level 5 fitter exam in May this year," Cai Quanwu said after recalling.

"That's good. You are already a level 2 fitter at such a young age. As long as you work hard, you will definitely have a bright future," He Yuzhu praised.

"Yes, Shaoan is a very hardworking kid, and he has a quick mind, so he learns things quickly. And when your aunt found out that her brother had passed the Level 2 fitter exam, she was so excited that she cried, saying that she finally had an explanation for her deceased parents." Cai Quanwu nodded.

"That's fine. As long as you work hard, you will achieve something in the future. However, uncle, you also have to remind him to pay attention to safety when working and avoid any accidents." He Yuzhu said with concern.

"Don't worry, Zhuzi, I will remind him. Your aunt also often tells him to be careful." Cai Quanwu looked at He Yuzhu gratefully. "Zhuzi, I have been here for such a long time, and I have said everything I need to say. It is getting late, and I should go back too. You should also go to bed early."

"Okay, uncle, I'll give you a ride. Please ride slowly on your way back." He Yuzhu stood up and sent Cai Quanwu out of the courtyard gate. After watching Cai Quanwu ride away on his tricycle, he turned around and walked back to his home in the courtyard.
