Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

River fresh food is a good thing, it is absolutely delicious when cooked properly, but if it is not prepared properly, it will smell disgusting, and people who are budget-conscious will not waste money on things that are not worth it.

In terms of taste, Lin Ze is very confident. The things he brought out are not peerless delicacies, but they are definitely enough to be seen in a small place like Qingshan County.

It tastes like a restaurant, but the price is much more affordable. Coupled with the service of the waiter, it is normal for the river food stall to be quickly accepted by the people.

In just one week, the turnover and passenger flow of the food stall stabilized, and as more people knew about it, the performance gradually increased.

Lin Ze and Zhang Yu were overjoyed when they settled the accounts, and the employees were also very happy, because the end of the week is a good time to settle the wages.

According to the basic salary, everyone’s weekly salary is 350 renminbi, but the actual income is more than that. In addition to the distance of the working place and the commission of each group’s silver performance, in the end everyone got the least 400 renminbi, and the highest 600 renminbi!

If you want the horse to run fast, of course you have to feed the horse with grass. As long as you are a serious person, Lin Ze will never be stingy when it comes to paying wages.

Although he used to be a good manager in Hyundai, he still worked for the boss in the final analysis. He knew that the wages were not in place, and the employees must slack off in their work. A stingy boss couldn't keep people.

Business is a matter of steady flow, and you should be willing to be willing where you should be willing. If you are afraid of spending money, don't engage in investment.

When strings of copper coins were sent out, the employees blushed with joy and excitement, and Lin Dakun, who helped Lin Ze distribute the silver, also had red eyes.

Although he intended to ask Lin Dakun to help with the work, due to the character of Dafang's family, Lin Ze did not use it for the time being. He continued to train and teach, giving whips and stimulation from time to time.

What is the greatest thrill for a money-loving and stingy person?That is touching a lot of money, but can't put it in your pocket.

The effect of this method is absolutely obvious. Lin Ze read an employee's name and salary, and Lin Dakun handed over a string of copper coins as instructed, and then felt a pain in his heart like a needle prick.

Seeing the food stall employees leaving happily with a lot of wages, Lin Dakun's heart was bleeding, and he couldn't hold back his voice.

"Stinky boy, you really don't know how to do business! How come out of our old Lin's family you are such a prodigal! The wages of five or six hundred cash in six days, and more than one or two taels of silver in a month, are almost catching up with the shopkeeper. People just run around, sell their strength, and they are still little brothers and wives!"

That's right, Lin Ze counted 7 days a week, but everyone actually only worked for 6 days, and there was even one day off to get paid for nothing.

Such wages are far beyond the normal wage level in the town. For ordinary people who are illiterate and illiterate, it is just a dream to earn a tael of silver a month just by working hard. What a bonus.

But in Lin Ze's view, it is different. Regardless of literacy or not, he only looks at the final performance results created.

If employees only create 100% of the work value for you, it’s okay to pay 100% of the wages, but if they create 150% and you pay back 100%, that’s forcing excellent people to quit.

"I'm happy with my money, and I'm happy to be the boss. If you have the ability, you can be the boss."

He gave Lin Dakun a smirk, and Lin Ze slapped his ass and left.

Lin Dakun was so angry that he jumped on the spot.

Arrogant, damn it is too arrogant, even more arrogant than when he was in glory.

But this brat is so generous, so why are you so stingy to him? He has been imprisoned in this dilapidated private school for more than half a month, smelling it every day but not giving him a bite!

"What kind of dance is the head of the house? If you have the time to dance, hurry up and work. Counting money, when will so many copper coins be counted, Lin Ze is really a kid, just take it to the bank to convert it into silver, you have to let it Let's count again..."

Next to it, other people in Dafang were under the whip of the strong coach, counting the coppers tremblingly and full of resentment.

They finally lived a life where they dreamed of counting money until their hands cramp, but the problem was that the money was not theirs.

When will this sad story end, woo woo!

……

...

No matter how sad Lin's big family was treated by Lin Ze's bad temper.

Here, the food stall employees who got their wages happily ran to Caishi Street to cut their meat, and went home happily to celebrate.

A group of women rushed to the meat stand in high spirits, almost scared the pork owner to death, thinking that there was something wrong with the meat he sold, so many women and husbands came together to make trouble, and their legs were weak at that time .

It turned out that after a long time, people came to cut the meat, and everyone cut 1 catty!

Drink, this is a big business, even the people in the town rarely get a whole catty of it, and the country people even pick it up by two or two.

Boss Pork's heart was really on a roller coaster of ups and downs, from blue to red, and finally flushed with neck and happy to kill pigs, as enthusiastic as he was for his ancestors.

It entertained a group of ladies and husbands from Heba Village, and the boring men who couldn't speak among them also showed a smile on their faces.

The few young men in each group who are in charge of greeting work even puffed up their chests with a smirk, pointed at the boss, and asked people to give away a few pig bones for free. Many, go back to Bel to have face.

"Boss, sell me your lard suet to add to it. My mother has been talking about this oil for a long time..."

Yuan Heizi, who spoke, was one of the young men in charge of greeting guests, and he was the youngest among them, only 15 years old.

He is the happiest group among the employees receiving salary today, because their group's performance this week, yes, Uncle Lin said that the performance has the most money.

So their group got the most bonuses, and because most of the customers were recruited by him when they were working, the people in the same group took the initiative to give him more than a dozen coins, and he got a full 600 coins .

Yuan Heizi never thought that he would earn so much money one day.

Although he is a man, he is too thin to do farm work, and he himself thinks that going to the fields is too tiring and he doesn't want to move. Most likely, he is the next successor of the gangster in the village.

When Lin Ze was recruiting, he didn't have any idea at all. Whoever recruits someone like him who hates dogs and can't do work? He was forced by his mother. Unexpectedly, he was selected, and the jaws of the villagers dropped in shock.

But he was not happy at that time, Lin Ze paid a lot of wages, but he was afraid of being tired, he was so skinny, he couldn't even compare with his little husband who raised him as a child, he would not be exhausted to work!

Don't think he is stupid, he must do more work if he doesn't know how much he is paid.

But he never expected that the work Lin Ze arranged for him was not tiring at all, just greet people, coax the guests into the shed with nonsense and sit down, and he didn’t need to worry about other things and he didn’t need to be tired.

Making money by talking about it is a good game for idlers like them, they are best at chatting and bragging.

A full salary of more than 600 Wen, and a few catties of meat cost only a fraction. Thinking of the foster husband at home who is stronger than me, although he is not good-looking, he is his little brother who will be married in the future. When I arrived at the university, I took good care of him and served him so thoughtfully that he was quite obedient.

So Yuan Heizi went to the pastry shop to buy a pack of red bean cakes, bought cloth from the cloth shop, and then went back to the village. This time, seeing his parents scolded him for being worthless.

A group of people who went out for six days returned to the village with big and small bags, which was a beautiful sight in the village.

The villagers gathered together to watch the fun. They were breathless and envious when they heard that everyone had been paid hundreds of Wen for six days of work.

I knew that Lin Ze was generous to those who helped him, but I never expected to be so generous. He is a rare boss with a conscience. Get real.

The envious onlookers in the village Yuan Heizi didn't follow him, and quickly slipped away with a smile.

Although he also wanted to show off, there was no way. He had bought too many things and had to bring them back quickly. He didn't have the energy to drag a lot of things to brag to the villagers.

Besides, those 'buddies' he used to play with are still in the village. Those people are all dog-skin plasters. Knowing that he has made money, why don't you come to ask him to borrow it?Are those people borrowing money?If you take it out, you will be in vain.

He used to be a loafer who didn't want to work and liked to play, but he was not stupid. He was fooling around with those people because he wanted to earn easy money to build a big house and live a good life.

But Yuan Heizi didn't want to run into anyone, but his cronies had already been waiting for him on his way home.

"Dog, Uncle Dog Head, what a coincidence..."

Seeing Zhang Goutou and a few old gangsters leading the way blocking the road, and the gangsters behind him staring at him, Yuan Heizi smiled stiffly, and MMP kept swearing in his heart, secretly thinking that the blood mold attracted Zhang Goutou and the gang of old gangsters.

He can still deal with punks of the same age, but for old punks like Zhang Goutou who are well-known in the town, he can only be cowardly.

"Heizi, let's not talk nonsense. I heard that you have been doing well these days. Uncle Goutou is tight these days. You can lend some to Uncle to make money. He will return it to you when Uncle has it. You have been fooling around with Uncle. Yes, our group is all about loyalty, right..."

Zhang Goutou held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, and he was still playing around like a young man in his tens of years, his tone was that of a big brother, but what he did was like a scumbag.

What kind of revolving loan is clearly a robbery. These people never thought of repaying the money they borrowed, let alone have expectations. Hit the west.

"Uncle, where did I get the money? I'm lazy and can't do any heavy work. How much can Lin Xiu pay me? Everyone gets a few hundred cash, so I got a guarantee and spent all my shopping. If you don’t believe me, look, the cloth alone cost more than half of it.”

Yuan Heizi poked the villain in his heart, and laughed with a smile on his face.

Anyway, the hard-earned money I earned, no matter how much I squander it, I can't lend it to these people who never return. I am too unwilling.

**************************

Although the gangsters seem to be idle and useless, this group of people is actually very slippery.

Yuan Heizi was not very old, but he dealt with these incomprehensible people in the village since he was a child.

Compared with most other undisciplined ones, his parents never gave up the idea of ​​bringing their son back to the right path, so compared to other unprofessional prodigal sons, Yuan Heizi more or less has a bottom line and dreams.

He couldn't be reconciled to being taken away by Zhang Goutou before he went home to show off to his parents the money he had earned so hard.

"Uncle Dog Head, I really have no money..."

Anyway, no matter what the group of people in front of him said, Yuan Heizi would just kill him and have no money.

At the same time, he was also thankful that he had the foresight, because he was afraid that these former "buddies" would ask him for support. After shopping in the town, he asked an aunt who gave the purse to his relatives to take it back to the village for help, and then went to pick it up at night.

"..."

Yuan Heizi only had a dozen or so copper coins to pretend to be, and Zhang Goutou, who had been groping for a long time and failed to find anything, had a bad face.

In fact, if it weren't for being really anxious, Zhang Goutou wouldn't look down on the dozens of hundreds of copper coins in the village.

Grandma Zhang and her grandchildren have lived a miserable life in the village these years, but he is very carefree outside. He hangs around with the local snakes in the town, collects protection fees everywhere, and lives a carefree life.

Otherwise, how could he hook up a beautiful girl in a brothel, and let her give birth to a son willingly for him.

But this person will never have a smooth life, there are always a few hurdles.

Having been outside for many years, Zhang Goutou is getting tired of it recently. He looks at other peers of the same age, wives and children who are hot on the kang, and he is alone in the cold bed. there is none left.

One day, I suddenly saw some old beggars on the road. Why are those faces so familiar?

Yo, isn't that the big brother he admired the most when he was a child?At the beginning, the other party brought him out to hang out, and he still remembers the scenery until now, why has he become a beggar now.

At that time, Zhang Goutou's mood was complicated. When he went back to the dead of night, he began to reflect for the first time in his life.

When I was young, I only felt that I was living comfortably and unrestrainedly, but I didn’t make a name for myself after so many years. From childhood to old, it seems that nothing has been left behind in middle age, and my family relationship has also become a stranger. of.

If he goes on like this and doesn't save any money, will his son who wishes his father die quickly, will he be able to provide for him in the future?

That's definitely not possible, he himself wouldn't want to change him, and he never cared about that cheap son since he was a child.

Zhang Goutou is somewhat self-aware of his own virtues.

So after thinking about it, he felt that he should do something. While he was still young and strong, save some money quickly, so that he would not be like the big brother he admired, living as a beggar on the street. Life is too miserable.

In addition, he actually wanted to stop. After all, he was getting older, and in a few years the hooligan world would have to be replaced. Old things like him would definitely be replaced.

So, with this mentality in mind, Zhang Goutou found a few brothers he thought were reliable, and planned to do something together to make a fortune.

But they have no technology or ability, and they don't know what to do at all. In the end, everyone decided to bet their lives and go out for a business trip.

Although running a business is hard and dangerous, you may not lose your life halfway, but everyone knows how to make money. If you don’t make a lot of money, you can buy Shangtian after a trip. Not for nothing.

Under the temptation of profit, a few hot-headed gangsters ran to borrow a high-interest loan as capital, and started to work vigorously.

If a few unreliable guys get together, the result will certainly be unreliable.

A group of people hurried out with their goods, and then returned with a clean loss. Not only did they not earn any money, but they also carried a huge debt. Everyone is scratching their heads now to figure out how to repay the debt.

The same goes for Zhang Goutou, who borrowed a whole 50 taels.

In the end, he could still sell the house and the fields, but his family had to sell people, not only his son had to sell, but he had to sell himself as well, so that the matter could be resolved.

Now he was really scared. Although he didn't care much about his son, it was his seed after all. He wanted to pass on the Zhang family's family, so how could he sell it to others, and he himself had been chic for so many years. Even if he sold himself into slavery, he wouldn't be able to survive.

There is no way, Zhang Goutou can only focus on the gangster brothers and followers around him, and everyone can earn as much as they can.

But unfortunately, those who can be mixed with him are half a catty... It's only a few taels after they are all scooped up, so it's useless.

"Damn it, I knew you were worthless, get lost!"

He couldn't find any money on him, so Zhang Goutou could only beat him up and let him go, and left in a hurry to find the next one.

And Yuan Heizi waited for these gangsters to leave completely, and then he held his bruised and swollen head in relief, and went home crying to complain to his parents.

After all, he was only 15 years old, and the only child in the family was spoiled, how could he not be wronged by being beaten like this.

He didn't tell me before that it was because he wanted to hang out with him. Now that he can find a job and earn a lot of money, he won't hang out with these people in the future. Why is he holding back!

Yuan Heizi, who had been beaten up, returned home and didn't even complain about the hard work he had been working outside for the past few days, so he first explained to his parents that Zhang Goutou couldn't beat him by borrowing money.

The Yuan family's parents could tell that their son must have exaggerated, but the swollen pig's head was the truth. That shameless old Zhang Goutou did beat their son.

"Fuck you, Zhang Goutou, that shameless thing, I'll find someone to stop him from beating him back later!"

Although Father Yuan is not a gangster, his temper is also quack, so his son's ability to walk on the road of gangsters is somewhat genetically influenced.

Yuan Aniang rolled her eyes, she said that she must be looking for it back, but a barefooted and shoeless person like Zhang Goutou can deal with it directly, and he will take revenge in the future.

"I want to beat him to cover his head on a dark and windy night, otherwise Zhang Goutou will definitely come to our house. He has asked our son for money, and he probably doesn't know what he is doing outside. Tomorrow I will go to the town to find Zhang. Grandma said go..."

Regardless of whether Grandma Zhang can control her unsatisfactory son or not, it is still useful to say it. The word filial piety is big, and Zhang Goutou will have to bow to his mother no matter how messed up he is.

Father Yuan nodded, as expected, she was still a careful woman, "It's the child's mother, you have an idea."

"That's not right, this family doesn't depend on me, Brother Ping, you two have already separated. Don't talk about it, Heizi, how much did you get paid this time? Is there any leftover after buying so many things? You spend money Can you save some money, or how will brother Ping have a baby after getting married in two years, you, think more about family..."

Compared with her son being beaten, Yuan Aniang was more concerned about how much money her son earned back. Anyway, her son was not up to the mark, so it would be better to get more.

The family is poor, and there is nothing to earn except the land all year round. In two years, the two children in the family will grow up, and it is time to get married and consummate the house and have a grandson. If you don’t save money now, the grandson will eat and drink when he lands.

She had read these words countless times. Yuan Heizi used to be annoyed by hearing them, but now she felt elated.

Then look at the ordinary-looking fiancé next to him, but his blushing is somewhat colorful, looking eagerly at the eyes he relies on. For the first time in his youth, he felt the sense of responsibility of being the pillar of the family and earning money to support the family.

"Mom, I don't miss my family. Didn't I not make money before? You don't know that I can't do a lot of field work. You see, I made money today and bought so many things for you. Mother, you Don't worry, Lin Dong's family is generous with the wages, I got 6 Wen in 600 days this time."

"600 Wen? Really!"

As soon as the salary was explained, everyone in Yuan's family stared, a little incredulous.

Calculated from six hundred wen, one day is one hundred wen. Didn’t we say 50 wen a day before?Why did the salary increase so much?Their son really didn't lie?Don't go out and use wages as a cover for not knowing what you did.

The suspicious eyes of the family were shining brightly, and Yuan Heizi himself guessed that the family would not believe it, because he himself was in a daze when he was paid.

But did he really earn so much? Lin Ze also gave each of them a 'salary note' when distributing the money.

It said that it recorded the specific details of everyone's wages, why each copper plate was issued, and why the money was deducted.

Although everyone said at the time that there was no need to be so troublesome, it is undeniable that Lin Ze's move was very moving.

It is normal for these villagers to go out to work and be deducted money for no reason. They complain in their hearts but never dare to say it, and they have to smile and flatter them, for fear of losing their jobs.

Now the wages are made clear, and the deductions and rewards are all transparent. He can ask others to read the salary slips if he can’t read.

And Lin Ze is also preparing for the use of the shopkeeper in the future, in case the shopkeeper deducts the wages of the subordinates and causes complaints and problems.

"Mother, don't worry, this is all wages. The boss said that our wages are only the lowest, not the highest. How much we can get depends on our hard work and ability. I can get so much because I have a good mouth. There are many customers. The performance earned by the team members, well, is the most money, so the rewards are also more, if you don’t believe me, look at this salary slip, it says how the money came from..."

Yuan Heizi took out the salary slip, and for the first time in his life, he felt that he held his head upright, dignified.

"Hey, it seems that our Heizi is really promising this time."

The family members are illiterate, but looking at the paper with black and white characters, I feel at ease in my heart and smile gratifiedly.

That night.

The families of other food stall employees in Heba Village also had the same scene. The whole family laughed when they saw the wages they earned.

"Oh, my good daughter-in-law/son-in-law is capable, son, what mother said back then, marry a wife and a good man, why don't you hurry up and bring food to your daughter-in-law, the family depends on you useless men to drink the northwest wind... ..."

"I know."

Unknowingly, the status of the ladies and husbands who had been subjected to all kinds of cold eyes and criticism at home quietly improved overnight.
