Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

Luo Ding didn't even look at the figure who was leaving angrily, turned around and walked towards his home.After the pedestrians on the dirt road had left, a few stray cats ran out from there, sniffed the air a few times, and followed the smell to find the bacon that had been thrown into the weeds .

The cats circled around the pieces of bacon several times, sniffed and sniffed, and then tentatively took a few bites. After only a few bites, the cats shook their heads and tails one after another, and vomited everything they had eaten. come out.

Feeling trapped, the wild cats angrily tore the strip of meat several times with their paws, and then left with their tails swung.The last few pieces of bacon were taken away by some old rascal dogs who couldn't find any food.

Luo Ding did not tell Shen Chenai about being stopped halfway and forcibly selling inferior products.With the addition of alfalfa mutton, Luoding's bacon factory finally had a fairly sufficient supply of goods. Facing the massive orders, unprecedented enthusiasm broke out from top to bottom in the factory.

For Luo Ding, more orders means that the goods are easy to sell, and it goes without saying that the goods are easy to sell.For the workers in the bacon factory, more work means more wages to earn. For these men who have to support their families, whether they are tired or not is a secondary issue. Take care of your wife and children, that's the most important thing.

Luo's bacon factory pays high wages, and other benefits are also good. Working here for Luo Ding, you can get at least 1200 cash a month, which is at least one-third higher than other factories.

Don't underestimate this one-third, although it is only three or four hundred dollars, it may be just a meal for those wealthy families.But for small households like workers, the extra three or four hundred yuan a month means that the elderly and children in their own family can eat a few more meals of meat to supplement their bodies, and their own The mother-in-law can have the money to cut a new piece of cloth for the family to add a piece of clothing to, and even the man in the family can have a few more drinks with his friends.

The quality of life is improved in this little bit, and soon some sharp-eyed people discovered that the workers who worked in Luoding's bacon factory not only dressed decently when they went out , Even their family members look very different from the past.

Although the clothes of adults and children in the house are still mainly made of linen, they are all new, clean and without any patches on them.

For those families with few children, or those who love their children, the boys and girls have already put on cotton clothes, and some brothers in the family work in the bacon factory, and now they send their children to private schools read.

This kind of discovery can make some people's hearts come alive. We have lived in the neighborhood for so many years. Who can not understand the situation of the family? In the past, the life of the people in their alley was similar. Look at people, everyone has new clothes to wear.Looking at themselves, a set of clothes is worn by several children. The eldest child wears a small size for the second child, and the second child wears a small size for the third child. It is passed on one by one until the clothes are worn out.

Thinking of this, everyone looked enviously at those men who went out early every day to work in Luo's bacon factory, and kept inquiring secretly, wanting to see if there was still a chance to enter Luo's factory .

It's a pity that Luoding's bacon factory is already in full production at this time, and there is currently no place in the factory to use newcomers.Therefore, those who secretly envy others can only wait for the opportunity silently.

On this day, Shen Chenai and his wife received an invitation card from Yue's family in the north of the city. Their family's little one is full moon the day after tomorrow, and they invite relatives and friends to stay at the house.

This invitation card was brought to them by the way when Xu Jian came to pick up the paintings. Xu Jian told Shen Chenai that the Yue family should invite many people that day. It is said that the master of flower and bird painting that Shen Chenai admired very much Mr. Feng will come too.If Luo Ding has time, he might as well take part in it, and maybe he can get acquainted with that Mr. Feng.

Shen Chenai was very excited after hearing this. God knows that he and Mr. Feng have been friends for a long time. The other party is very good at painting flowers and birds. point.

I heard that I could see that gentleman. Since the day she received the invitation, Shen Chenai has been fiddling with her paintbrush, thinking about her own shortcomings in painting skills, and preparing to speak as soon as she can speak. Be sure to have the cheek to ask for advice.

After receiving the invitation, Luo Ding also prepared a gift. As his bacon business grew bigger and bigger, besides the most important meat, the amount of salt he uses every day is also amazing.So this time, taking advantage of the Yue family's child's full moon, he planned to come to him and negotiate a business with Yue Chong.

The couple, each with their own thoughts, went out together in a carriage that day. After arriving at Yue's house, Shen Chenxi stood beside Luo Ding and had a few polite words with the people he knew. As the topic of these people shifted to their business At that time, Shen Chenai, who couldn't understand these at all, found a reason, and went to his own circle after leaving.

Because I had already been invited once on the day of the third bath, few of the relatives and friends who came that day were present today.Most of the people who will come at this time are merchants like Luo Ding who have business dealings with Yue Chong.

Since they are all doing business, there are many topics to talk about. Many people have expressed their intentions for cooperation. After testing each other a few times, those who are sure will find one that both parties can accept. , let's talk about some more detailed issues.

For those who left with them, everyone present also tacitly understood that this is someone else's place, and it is inconvenient to talk or anything, so those who left would not talk about any deep issues, just to avoid Open everyone, just to confirm the sincerity of the other party.

As the host of this banquet, Yue Chong naturally wanted to show up to entertain everyone. When everyone was eating and drinking and the atmosphere became lively, Luo Ding walked up to Yue Chong with a wine glass, and gave him a cup of wine. After toasting, he said to Yue Chong: "Congratulations to Boss Yue for adding a baby to his family, let's drink this cup to the brim."

Yue Chong saw that the person who came to toast was Luo Ding, so he narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he drank the full wine glass in one gulp, and then said: "Thank you Boss Luo for your kindness, if Mr. On that day, will Mr. Luo be able to be Yue's guest?"

Of course, Yue Chong didn't ask this question to collect more money, because he had already invited them twice, so Yue Chong didn't plan to invite any more relatives and friends on the day when the Yue family was young for ten hundred days, that day was purely for those It is used for emotional contact with those who have business dealings with him.

And the reason why he mentioned this sentence in front of Luo Ding was because he knew that Luo Ding's bacon factory used salt very badly recently, so he wanted to test Luo Ding's attitude.

Luo Ding was not a fool either, as soon as Yue Chong opened his mouth, he had already heard the meaning of that person's words.So Luo Ding smiled and said: "If there is an opportunity, of course I dare not refuse."

As soon as Yue Chong heard Luo Ding's reply, he also understood the meaning, so he took a look at the people at the banquet who were already drunk, and felt that these people seemed to no longer need his entertainment, so he took care of the people around him A few words, let him take care of the guests at the banquet.

Then Yue Chong said to Luo Ding: "This is not a suitable place to talk. If Boss Luo doesn't mind, please follow me. In the living room to the east, I have asked someone to prepare tea." , Boss Luo, please come and taste it with me."

Luo Ding readily accepted Yue Chong's invitation, and the two came to the quiet living room to discuss the business of salt while tasting.

Both Luo Ding and Yue Chong have very forthright personalities, so there is nothing to be too fussy about when negotiating. After testing each other and confirming the price in each other's minds, they have already discussed in just two or three rounds. A price that both parties can accept.

Yue Chong is very satisfied with this business. Although compared with other vendors, Yue Chong gave Luo Ding more discounts in terms of price, but Luo Ding's business is different from others. A large amount of salt is used, and there is no obvious seasonality, so the period of fluctuations in the price of salt is avoided. In general, he did not actually give as many benefits as he saw.

And Luo Ding is also very satisfied. The quality of salt produced by the Yue family is famous in the whole Fengcheng. Although the amount of salt used here is large, there is no place suitable for salt storage, so You can only follow the market and follow the price of salt.

Because the lake salt is dried and boiled, it has a strong seasonality. The price of table salt in spring and winter is at least [-]% more expensive than that in summer and autumn, and the price given by Yue Chong is the annual price. The edges are still fine.

A win-win deal was made for both of them. Luo Ding and Yue Chong were very happy, and they walked out of the living room hand in hand.

Luo Ding, who finished talking about the business, planned to look for Shen Chenai. If it was about the same, the two of them could leave now.

It happened that Yue Chong had the same thoughts as him, so he also planned to find Xu Jian to see what Jian brother was busy with now.

The target the two of them are looking for is leaning together drunk at this time, and they are talking nonsense with Mr. Feng, the flower-and-bird painting that Shen Chenai admires very much. It is not surprising that this situation will happen, because Xu Jian is also very happy. I like Mr. Feng's paintings, so the two of them came here together.

After the three people met, Shen Chenai and Mr. Feng learned everything from each other, and they both admired each other's painting skills and talents. Xu Jian, a person who loves painting, can only admire this situation. On the side of the discussion, we toasted each other, so it ended up like this.

Seeing this situation, Luo Ding quickly pulled up Shen Chenai, who was still somewhat awake, helped him to bid farewell to Yue Chong, and carefully helped him leave.And the winking boy at the side quickly escorted the drunk and unconscious Mr. Feng away, and took him to the guest room to rest.

In the small garden at this time, only Xu Jian, who was drunk and couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north, was left in the group of calligraphers and painters.
