There were fewer people in the shop, so Su Riyue was free to talk to Su Ri'an: "Fifth Brother, why are you here?" Still hugging the dumpling.

As she said that, Su Riyue raised her hand and pinched Tuanzi's pink and tender face. Tuanzi raised her head to look at him, and Su Riyue teased him with a smile: "My name is little aunt."

Tuanzi watched him babbling a few times, but he didn't know what he was yelling for. After he finished yelling, he lowered his head to play with the wooden toy Xue Wenhan made in his hand.

Su Ri'an flipped the little guy online, and then carried him towards the counter: "Aren't you going to open a furniture shop? I'll come over to see if there is any suitable shop in the town. I will sell it first and wait for Xiaohui to buy it." When they can make their own stuff, they open."

Last year, we talked about opening a shop, but it was delayed because they went to the capital. This time, we must open it before Xue Wenhan returns to Beijing.

Otherwise, I don't know when it will be delayed.

"You didn't tell me yesterday..." Su Riyue said, poured herself a glass of water, and then asked Su Ri'an, "Drink water?"

"Don't drink." Su Ri'an walked to the counter and put the dumplings on the counter.

For such a big child, it's okay to hold it for a while, but the arms get sleepy after holding it for a long time.

Putting down the dumplings, Su Ri'an sat on the chair behind the counter, Su Riyue came over with water, pulled a chair for herself, took a sip of water and said, "I was over there before..." raised her hand towards Zhen Pointing in the direction of the east: "I saw a shop for rent, the area is quite large, and the price is reasonable, but the location is a bit off, on the far side, but I think the furniture shop should not be affected."

"You can go and have a look."

"No, the boss only comes when there is a market, and he is definitely not here today." Su Riyue said while drinking water.

"Are you hungry?" Seeing him drinking water, Su Ri'an asked, "Go eat when you're hungry."

It's already afternoon, past the time for dinner.

"Xiao Ming will go first, and I will go when he comes back." Hearing Su Riyue's words, Su Ri'an turned his head and took a look, and sure enough, Xu Qiao was the only one at the door of the shop.

"You go and eat, I'll watch." Su Ri'an said, and asked him, "Do you take it from home or eat it outside?" He remembered that Su Riyue didn't know how to cook.

However, even if female brothers don't know how to cook before they get married, most of them will know how to cook after they get married.

It's just a question of whether it's delicious or not.

"Outside." Su Riyue said, he had to get up at midnight every day to come to the shop, so he didn't have time to cook at all, and the most important thing was that the food he cooked was too bad, he didn't really want to eat the food he cooked.

The food bought outside is delicious and cheap.

Why should he suffer that crime and eat what he made.

"You eat outside, what about Li Hui?" Su Ri'an was a little surprised, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect this kid to actually eat outside.

"He does it himself."

"He...do it?!" Su Rian was particularly shocked. He grew up so big, and he had never heard of a man cooking.

"Yes." Su Riyue said it as a matter of course, "The ones he cooks are better than mine. If he doesn't cook them, why don't we all eat the pig food I cook together?"

Li Hui wanted to eat, but he didn't want to eat yet.

Su Rian was amused by his description, and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm telling the truth." Su Riyue said, stretching out her hand to tease Tuanzi: "Is that true, Tuanzi?"

"Tuanzi knows something, it's all right, don't be poor, go to eat quickly, come back after dinner and want to eat, tell me about the shop you mentioned."

"Okay." Su Riyue pointed to the door and signaled, "Then I'm leaving." After speaking, she got up and went out.

Not long after he left, Hong Niang came with bean cakes in her arms.

As soon as the bean cake came, Tuanzi babbled and twisted his body to look for the bean cake, Su Rian rubbed his face with a smile: "Brother is so clingy, what can I do in the future!

"This shows that young master Tuanzi likes young master bean cake." The matchmaker was shaking the bean cake up and down while holding the bean cake, causing the bean cake to look up at her and grab the clothes on her chest, for fear that he would fall off.

Tuanzi saw it and asked Su Rian to shake him, babbling, pulling Su Rian to point at the bean cake. Su Rian had no choice but hugged him and shook him for a while.

Finally, Su Riyue came back after dinner, probably told Su Ri'an about the situation there, and finally said: "But I saw that in the last episode, and I don't know if it is rented out now. "

"Take a look the day after tomorrow." Su Ri'an said, "I'll go and see if there's anything suitable later."

"Probably not." Su Riyue said: "I've been looking at it these days, and that one is okay, the others are too small." The furniture takes up too much space, so a bigger shop is necessary.

Otherwise, even the samples will not be placed.

"Or... just buy a few pieces of land on the east side of the town and build a shop by yourself, but that would be more troublesome, but now Xiaohui and the others can't make things by themselves, time is not a problem."

"Go to the house you mentioned the day after tomorrow to have a look. If it doesn't work, you can build it yourself." The cost will be lower if you build it yourself, but it's a bit troublesome, and you have to ask someone to watch it.

Su Riyue saw it when she went to the market last time. It only took a few days, and when Su Ri'an and the others went to see it, the shop had already been sold.

The boss didn't buy the shop for any business, but just wanted to rent it out and collect rent.But the shop is too big, he plans to renovate it, divide it into several small shops and rent them out.

When the Su Ri'an brothers went there, the boss was talking with the craftsman about the decoration.

The Su Ri'an brothers have been selling things in the town for the past two years, and everyone knows them. When the boss saw them, he stopped to talk to the craftsmen and greet them.

Su Ri'an and the two also greeted him politely, and then Su Ri'an explained the purpose of coming.

When the boss heard this, he was very unwilling.

He thought about the rent. If he sells the house, he can get a lot of money at once, but the money will be gone after he takes it.

But if his house is there, he can always rent it out and make money all the time.

Su Riyue was smart, glanced over the shop, saw a few craftsmen standing next to him, immediately understood, smiled and said to the boss: "Brother, are you going to decorate it into a cubicle and rent it out?"

"Yes." This is not considered private, they will do it a few days later, Su Riyue will know, and the boss has nothing to hide, so he said it very straightforwardly, Su Ri'an said "um", then looked at the sky The empty shop said to the boss,

"I see that your shop is separated by three to four shops at most. Let's count as four shops. One rents three taels a year, and the rent for four is 12 taels. Even if the house is left for ten years, you will You can get 120 taels of silver. But who knows what will happen in the next ten years? If the shop is worthless in ten years and cannot be rented out, will you lose money? You might as well sell it to us."

Su Riyue's words were actually a bit of nonsense.

Because if there were no floods and wars, it would be impossible and problematic for the store within ten years.

However, Su Riyue's clever tongue and Su Ri'an's generosity as a monk made him pay a lot more than when he bought it two days ago.

The boss immediately agreed.

After all, it took Su Ri'an more than ten years to get the money for renting a house. As Su Riyue said, if something happened midway, he wouldn't even be able to get the money.

Now as soon as he changed hands, he made money immediately.

Why not do it.

After buying the store, the rest is the problem of decoration.

Su Rian found the brother who had renovated the shop for them before, and handed over the decoration of the shop to them.

Su Ri'an was busy with the shop, and Xue Wenhan checked the finished products made by Su Rihui and the others.Su Rihui got No.1 easily because of his long study time.

Everyone works together every day and knows each other's level.

There is no objection to Su Rihui getting No.1.

The prize was made by Xue Wenhan himself, a chair.

Su Rihui was very happy when he got the chair, because besides the parents of the chair itself, the most important point is that the chair was tailor-made for him.

The happy Su Rihui didn't sleep well for several days, and the end result was dark circles around his eyes, and Xue Wenhan scolded him severely.

Except for prizes.

Su Rihui also has the qualification to sell furniture.

Of course, the furniture he made had to be bought in the shop that Xue Wenhan just opened.

For the money sold, Su Rihui's share, the shopkeeper's share, and the rest belong to the shop.

In addition, Su Rihui's monthly payment has also increased.

From the day he started making furniture, his monthly money also increased from [-] Wen to [-] Wen.

Hearing Xue Wenhan tell him the news, Su Rihui's jaw almost dropped in surprise, and it took him a long time before he said excitedly: "Fifth brother, are you serious?"

This is much better than those carpenters in the village.

Those carpenters may not be able to get [-] yuan in a month. He works with Xue Wenhan. Although it sounds inferior to those people, he doesn't need to worry about anything, wood, or whom to sell to. Just be responsible for making things happen.

In this way, you can get [-] cash a month, not to mention, there are also bonuses.

Thinking of the bonus, Su Rihui's eyes lit up.

I can't wait to announce to the world that he will be a rich man in the future.

He was so happy that his mouth was cracked to the pinna, but Xue Wenhan didn't make him happy for too long, and a basin of cold water poured down his forehead: "I will give you the blueprint for making things in the future, and you can do it according to the blueprint." , The quality of the things produced must be guaranteed. Otherwise, let alone no bonus, the monthly payment will be deducted until the deductions are exhausted."

"So cruel." Su Rihui swallowed.

"Really?" Xue Wenhan laughed, a bit dangerous, Su Rihui didn't dare to answer, just said softly: "I know, I will guarantee the quality."

Xue Wenhan let out a "huh" and pointed out several deficiencies in what he made, and then explained the reasons for the deficiencies in detail to him, and then Xue Wenhan told him: "If you have time in the future, you can also try to design by yourself... "Speaking Xue Wenhan said it again to other people at the top of his voice, and then said under the eager eyes of everyone: "As long as the work is not delayed, the things you design can be handed over to us. , will give you bonuses."

After finishing speaking, fearing that everyone's enthusiasm was not enough, Xue Wenhan added: "The bonus for this will be very high."

"How tall?" Su Rihui asked curiously.

"Starting at ten taels." Xue Wenhan said: "As long as they are approved and expropriated, the bonus starts at ten taels." After speaking, he was afraid that they would not understand and mistakenly thought that as long as they took out the blueprints, they would get money, so he said it again: "There is no expropriation." If there is no money."

After Xue Wenhan finished speaking, the grandfather in his 30s interrupted and asked, "What if we can't draw or write?"

"Can't draw or write..." Xue Wenhan was prepared, and shifted his gaze to the 30-year-old grandfather: "Also, you can make finished products according to your ideas, as long as the finished product is approved, it is also You can get a bonus."

As Xue Wenhan said, he glanced at a few serious-looking "students" and quickly took them back, "There is one more thing I need to tell everyone, let you design it yourself, let you design it yourself after you leave the workshop, in the workshop You can only do what I asked you to do, and once you find out, half of the monthly payment will be deducted."

"Half..." It's so dark.

Who dares.

Everyone dare not.

After Xue Wenhan finished speaking, he told Li Hui the time for everyone to work in the future, and asked Li Hui to write it down.

After Li Hui wrote it down, Xue Wenhan raised his voice and told everyone again, and then said: "From now on, everyone will come at this time. Don't be late in the morning, and don't leave early in the evening."

"What if you come early in the morning and return late at night?" one of the two young people asked with a smile.

"It's up to you." Xue Wenhan smiled, glanced at him, and then looked away: "If you want to learn quickly, you can practice in advance. If you work overtime at night, we will provide you with free oil lamps and wood, as long as you learn well."

After finishing speaking, Xue Wenhan paused, and then encouraged them: "Come on, everyone. When you finish your studies and can make furniture independently, you can sell furniture like Xiaohui. At that time, the monthly payment will increase. There is a bonus. When the monthly money plus bonus is added, it will be at least four or five times your current monthly money a month."

"So many..." Hearing Xue Wenhan's words, not only the two young people, but even the grandfather in his 30s were shocked.

You know, they go to the town to do coolies, five hours a day, and only a few hundred cash a month.

They are now three hundred and five hundred. If it is four or five times, there will be at least one or two more.

Think about it, everyone is excited.

No one doubted that what Xue Wenhan said was a lie, Su Riyue and Su Xiaoming were the best examples.

Now Su Xiaoming's family has built brick and tile houses, everyone is envious.

Many people want to come to Xue Wenhan to work here.

It's just that Xue Wenhan wants few people, so everyone can only be anxious.

In addition to checking Su Rihui's homework, Xue Wenhan has also been making hairpins and bracelets. After spending more than a month, he finally finished the hairpins and bracelets that will be needed for the next six months.

Just when Xue Wenhan was thinking about making a few more sets of furniture.

Song Chenglin and Xu Ningze came to visit Xue Wenhan.

Of course, they came here on private visits, but their whereabouts were not too secretive, and the county magistrate knew about them. As soon as they arrived at Xue Wenhan's shop, the county magistrate came back.

Along with the county magistrate, there were also several relatives who were said to be the county magistrate's relatives in the capital.

Seeing the relatives, Su Ri'an recognized them as the few who ordered a large number of bracelets and hairpins from them not long after their jewelry store opened, and asked them to finish them within a month.

Su Ri'an was a little surprised.

Those few people seemed surprised that they did not expect to come to their shop.One of them looked at the very young man and came out to say hello to Su Ri'an: "I didn't expect that Uncle Tang was talking about your family, I should have thought of it..."

Unfortunately, he just didn't expect it.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked at Su Ri'an and praised: "The hairpin and bracelet you made are really delicious, my grandma..." He wanted to say something, but he was caught by the "little cousin" beside him. ' was stopped.

Later, his 'Uncle Xiaotang', also the county magistrate, stepped forward to salute Song Chenglin and Xu Ningze.

Those young people were also very surprised when they heard the identities of Xu Ningze and Song Chenglin.

However, they had all seen the big world, so they didn't lose their senses, and they were only surprised for a moment. The next few people saluted Song Chenglin and Xu Ningze one after another.

The two agreed with each other, but they were a little unhappy in their hearts.

When they came out, only a few cronies in the Yamen knew about the people who left the family, but now this little county magistrate actually knew their whereabouts and followed them.

It is enough to see that there are people with this person around them.

Thinking of this, how can the mood of the two be better.

If it wasn't for Xue Wenhan's shop, they would probably have lost their temper.

The little county magistrate probably sensed the displeasure of Song Chenglin and Xu Ningze, so he quickly explained: He originally came to observe the people's sentiments, but he didn't expect to meet the two adults here.

Although such an explanation sounds unfeasible, the two of them still felt a little better.

Kind of kidding myself.

But people are like this sometimes, even if Song Chenglin and Xu Ningze are dead, it is inevitable that one will be the censor and the other will be the county guard.

Later, Xue Wenhan took Song Chenglin, Xu Ningze and the little county magistrate to the best restaurant in the town.

Su Ri'an, Su Riyue, Xu Qiao, Su Xiaoming and the others were entertaining the county magistrate's relatives in the store.

They came from the capital city and traveled all over the world. They had never eaten any delicious food. The things in the restaurants in the small town were not enough to arouse their interest, but the things in Xue Wenhan's shop made them quite interested.

They are merchants who specialize in doing business with Gentiles.

Last time they sold the hairpins and bracelets they took from Xue Wenhan and the others to foreign countries at a sky-high price, earning a pot full of gold leaf. They originally wanted to wait a few days to come to Xue Wenhan's place again and buy more goods back. Continue to take it to foreign countries to sell.

This time I came to see Uncle Xiao Tang, and when they heard that Uncle Xiao Tang was coming here, they thought that the only goods they needed to buy were available here, so they came with them.

Now Xiaotangshu and the others are going to talk about their affairs.

The few of them naturally began to look at the hairpins and bracelets that interested them.

During this period, questions continued to be raised.

Ask them why they made hairpins and only bracelets. After hearing Su Rian said that there are wooden tools that can improve children's IQ, one of the young people in a blue robe immediately asked Su Rian: "It can improve children's IQ." Children are smart, so why didn't you do more?... No, why didn't you do it?"

He looked around, and it seemed that there was no walnut wood in Su Ri'an's shop.

Su Ri'an choked, and wanted to tell him: because his husband didn't do it.

But in the end he didn't do anything, and the man didn't keep chasing him, and said to Su Ri'an: "Actually, you can consider making dolls and toys for children. I think this is very good."

Su Ri'an: "Yes", and told him: "I will discuss with my husband when he comes back."

After that, Su Ri'an explained things to him again.

When they left at the end, those people said they wanted five hundred hairpins and one hundred bracelets, but they were rejected by Su Rian, who just told them: "We can't get so many hairpins for now, you can order them if you want." .”

"Reservation?" Those people looked at what they wanted, and their tempers were pretty good: "How long will it take to make a reservation?"

"The time is uncertain." Su Ri'an looked at them, and said earnestly and patiently: "Because my husband is making things for the palace recently, this time my grandma passed away and went home to visit relatives. I only took half a year's leave, and I have to go back when I arrive. .If you want less, he can help you to catch up, but you want too much and there is not enough time."

"..." The palace.

They thought of the rumor in the capital. At first they thought it was a rumor, but they didn't expect it to be true. The way they looked at Su Ri'an changed.

Kind of weird.

Su Rian was embarrassed, coughed twice, and then repeated what he had just said.

Among those few people, a person who seemed to be in charge came over and said to Su Ri'an: "In this case, we will ask for less, one hundred hairpins, bracelets..."

"You can only take ten bracelets at most." Su Ri'an said for him: "It has been three months since we went home to visit our relatives, and we can't make more."

"...Ten is too few."

"I don't have enough time to make it." Su Ri'an still said the same thing. In fact, with Xue Wenhan's speed, it would be no problem to make a hundred bracelets.

But Su Ri'an remembered that Xue Wenhan had told him before that they couldn't let them think that it was too easy for him to make hairpins and bracelets, otherwise... those people would definitely try their best to lower the price.

Besides, Su Ri'an didn't want Xue Wenhan to be so tired.

I was already tired enough to make those things for the emperor when I was in the capital, but now I am still busy at home, so I should at least take some time to rest.

Continuing what Xue Wenhan said: money will never run out.

That person can't help it, whoever let Xue Wenhan's other client is the emperor, even if he is given the courage, he will not dare to compete with the emperor.

The quantity is promised, and it's time to talk about the price.

Su Ri'an suddenly stopped Su Riyue who was going to talk, and said to those few people: "I will discuss the price with you when my husband comes back."

"The deposit?..." They were afraid that Su Ri'an would go back on his word.

Businessmen pay attention to honesty, as long as they pay a deposit and get a contract, they have to abide by the contract, but if there is no contract... things will always change.

They did business and suffered many losses in this regard.

So, now I want to pay the deposit and settle the matter.

But Su Ri'an told them that after Xue Wenhan came back, they discussed the price before writing a deposit.

Several people were a little displeased, and finally the one in charge comforted the young ones, said goodbye to Su Ri'an and the others, and left the shop with them.

As soon as the few people left, Su Riyue immediately asked the question in his heart: "Fifth brother, I think they want to do a lot, why don't they let the fifth brother do it? At the speed of the fifth brother, the three It’s perfectly fine to do so much in a month.”

"Because we told them before that it is very laborious, troublesome and time-consuming to do this..." Su Ri'an used three times in a row, and then said: "Now it is so easy to do...it's actually not easy...but in their hearts It will definitely be uncomfortable, and I feel that we were deceiving them before, and it will be more troublesome. And... it will take a lot of eyes if you keep doing this, and you can’t do it for too long a day, otherwise your eyes will hurt and your body will not be able to keep up.”

When your fifth brother-in-law was in the capital, he was busy until half of the night every day, but now that he is back, I want him to rest for a while and stop being so busy.

Su Ri'an thought in his heart, but he didn't tell Su Riyue and the others.

After that, the four of them talked for a while in the store.

Su Rian took Xu Qiao to the shop where the furniture would be sold in the future to see the decoration.

The two workers worked very hard, more than half of them had recovered in just a few days, and there were not many left. After watching them, Su Ri'an took Xu Qiao back to the shop, and then returned to the town by himself. The small courtyard above.

Went to see dumplings and bean cakes.

As soon as Su Ri'an walked to the door, he heard Tuanzi's choked up crying.

Running in quickly, the matchmaker saw him and called out: "Master." Then she said: "Master Tuanzi has been crying since he woke up."

Su Rian let out a "hmm", quickly picked up the dumpling, and shook the dumpling for a while.

While trembling, Su Ri'an said to the matchmaker: "You can get in touch with him more in the future." Oftentimes, the dumplings are brought by Xueniang, because Xueniang has known each other since she was a child, and the little guy doesn't cry.

If the matchmaker doesn't know her, she will cry naturally. After a long time, it will be fine if she gets familiar with her.

Su Ri'an guessed right. Three or four months later, Tuanzi not only stopped crying when he saw the matchmaker, but even raised his arms for the matchmaker to hug.

Of course, this is something.

The current thing is that Tuanzi cried, and Su Ri'an hugged and coaxed him for a long time, and Xue Wenhan didn't come back until he was about to go home at night.

Said that the county magistrate and county guard were settled in the hotel in the town.

Su Ri'an asked Xue Wenhan, "What are they here for?"

"What can be done is not about the furniture." Xue Wenhan said, but in fact, not all.

In addition to the furniture, there is the most important thing... Those people are here to test their own words.

Although he had the memory of the 'original owner', Xue Wenhan himself hadn't dealt with people in the officialdom very much, and his dealings with Song Chenglin, Xu Ningze, and the others didn't involve the officialdom, so it was relatively simple.

Today, after practicing Tai Chi for a whole day, they talked about something that could be solved with a single sentence, but they talked about it for several hours.

Said Xue Wenhan is tired,

It is not easy for those officials to secretly think.

After finally sending the sheriff and censor to rest, he was entangled by the county magistrate. Now he is a commoner, and the county magistrate wants to talk to him, so naturally he can't leave.

I have been talking with the county magistrate for a long time.

The county magistrate probably felt that there was nothing he could ask from Xue Wenhan, so he left awkwardly.

in the small yard.

After Xue Wenhan finished speaking, he walked over and hugged Su Ri'an, who was holding the dumpling, thinking in his heart that it's better to have a small place, although everyone may be a little vulgar and mean-spirited.

But at least for the most part, everyone is vulgar and badly candid.

People can see that you are a bad person at a glance, just like Su Ri'an's grandma and third aunt, who are not easy to get along with at first glance, and everyone knows that she is a shrew when she opens her mouth.

But those in the officialdom are benevolent and moral on the surface, but they don't know how sinister and vicious they are behind the scenes.

There are words in the words, and the people who deal with it are tired.

Not suitable, Xue Wenhan who wants to retire.
